Elena:I tried to focus my thoughts enough to try and understand Ezra and Alvize’s words. I swear I did.But right now, all I heard was blurs of conversations. My heart raced and I tried processing everything that was happening, but it was like my whole grounds were now shaken.The fact that there was someone who was out there, one person, who thought that he owed something to my parents made my heart ache. I didn’t even know who the man was or what he owed them, but I could tell that he was being genuine with his statement.Ezra and Alvize were by the door as the man was leaving, giving us our privacy to talk, and I couldn’t help but dread the conversation that was to come. Especially now that I knew that he would be asking me about my pack and who they were.It was something that I kept for myself for a reason. The last thing that I wanted or needed was trouble for them, but judging by the fact that Alvize knew of this, I knew that he wouldn’t drop the topic if the whole world paid
Alvize:It took everything in me to stay calm, wanting to process what Elena said before she shook her head as she ran her fingers through her hair.The fact that Killian and I shared the same blood was something that I resented and hated. The man was my half brother, and finding out about this last year wasn’t the highlight of it. But to know that he might have been involved with killing my mate’s family, now that was something that I could accept. “Elena, are you…?”“Don’t ask me if I’m sure, Alvize.” She said, stopping me. “I don’t know anything, and I am far too emotional right now to be able to put my thoughts into a one and two sequence, but I fucking know that things are bad. And if the prick is the reason my family died, then I am going to make fucking sure that he regrets…”“Elena, calm down.” I said, stopping her. Her heart raced and I wrapped my arms around her, pulling her in for a hug. She fisted my shirt and sobbed, her heart racing against her ribcage as she did. I ran
Elena:I stood in front of the front door of Ezra’s house, wondering whether or not I should go inside after what happened between Lia and I.It was a windy day, and the trees that were in front of the house swayed a little. But despite the wind, it was hot, and I couldn’t help but frown as clouds formed before they disappeared again. The whole sky was off, and that was something that I didn’t understand. The last thing that I wanted or needed right now was to face the woman after the issue that happened between the two of us, and needless to say, the woman knew for fact that I didn’t want to talk to her. I didn’t know about her husband, but knowing that I could see her was something that I didn’t want to deal with.“Elena, no one is going to do anything to offend you.” Alvize said, noticing that I stopped and didn’t follow him toward the door. It was already open, but I didn’t find myself wanting to go inside. But I knew that if Alvize brought me here, then whatever facts that I was
Alvize:Elena kept her eyes on me for a few seconds before she took my hand in hers, slowly intertwining our fingers, probably noticing my anger in my eyes.I sighed and brought her hand to my lips, gently kissing her knuckle. What she was going to find out was not going to be easy on her, and the last thing that I wanted was to see her breaking inside because of the bastard Killian. However, I knew better than to stop her from knowing the truth about things. I would have it better that she finds out about them from me instead of finding out about it from some stranger. “Thank you,” she said, nodding at one of the maids who put a mug of coffee on the coffee table in front of her. The maid nodded and took a step back before serving the others. She knew that I didn’t drink anything in their house, and that was something that the whole family was coming to terms with. That of course, unless I was invited over for dinner or lunch. Otherwise, as a person, I refrained from taking anything
Elena:“Do you want anything to drink?” I asked Alvize, knowing that he hasn’t gotten anything to drink at his brother’s estate. The anger that I saw in his eyes was one that I never really thought that I would see or read. If anything, I knew that he was angry with his family, and I knew that he was trying to set more than one boundary to keep them away from him; however, the last thing that I expected was to see that he was as furious as he was with them. If anything, the man seemed ready to shoot back at anyone who thought of speaking to him.He looked at me for a second before forcing himself to relax a bit as he drove. Ezra and Donatello were in the car behind ours, and I knew that Viktor was on his way with the other men. I still didn’t know how things were going to come out eventually, but gathering us there now was not going to help if they were planning on playing a dirty game.He took my hand in his and gently kissed my knuckle as he drove, keeping his eyes on the road. I s
Alvize:Elena and I entered the station to frown when we found that Drake was already waiting for us by the door.“Now, this has to be very important if you’re waiting for us the way that you are.” Elena said, frowning at the sight of the man she once called friend. The fact that she was speaking to him normally surprised me enough as it was, but I knew better than to ask any questions at this point. She knew to act professionally when she wanted to, and somewhere inside me I could tell that she was blocking her emotions in, and that was something that I knew would end up being very healthy for her.Ezra and Donatello’s car stopped and he frowned at the sight of Donatello.“Our father,” I said, and Drake signed but nodded. He took a step back, allowing us inside, and I frowned at the sight of the management who were standing beside Joseph. Elena didn’t say a word as she stood beside me, and I couldn’t blame her, she would have her reasons not to want to speak to the man. “Great, one
Elena:We stood, staring at the walls that started crumbling before our eyes before Alvize tightened his grip around me, wanting us to leave. I knew that we had to get out of here, but the front door was not going to be an option, we were going to need to take the back door, but how were we going to reach it, now that was the question that I didn’t have any answers to.The ground shook, and my heart raced as I realized that we were in more trouble than we could have thought that we were, and the fact that he was here to begin with was alarming to me. Drake’s eyes met mine as regret filled his eyes for calling us over, the two of us knew that I wouldn’t have come here if he didn’t call, and I wasn’t stupid, I knew that they weren’t going to be in this situation had it not been for his call.At this point, it wasn’t just our lives that I was concerned about. I knew that these humans were in more danger than we would ever be. We would somehow find out how to deal with things, but even t
Alvize: The barrier between Drake’s body and us disappeared as the ground under the Lycan sucked him away from us. Hana was the first to run to the man’s side. She got on her knees by his side, shaking his body for a second, wanting to wake him up. Elena moved from my arms and went to her side. Her expression was numb as she walked toward him. Her heartbeat raced, but it was like she was barely here, and that was something that tore me inside. Elena got down on her knees beside Hana and put her hand on her shoulder, squeezing it gently. “Hana…” “Don’t you fucking TOUCH ME!” She yelled so loud that everyone in the room jumped. Elena removed her hand quickly before Hana pulled her gun out of her holster and pointed it at her. My eyes widened in surprise and a low growl escaped my chest before I could stop it. “What the fucking hell are you, you monsters? WHAT DID MY BROTHER EVER DO TO YOU?” “Hana…” “All he did was love you,” she said, loading her gun as she kept her eyes on Elena
