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
Elena:Alvize gently laid me on his bed back at the Estate as Viktor opened the door for us.The beta’s eyes were confused as he took sight of me, but I didn’t have the energy to think of a proper response to give anyone if they asked, and needless to say, I had to admit that it was the least of my concerns to begin with.I curled up on the center of the bed, knowing that Alvize didn’t mind me being with my shoes on the bed right now. If anything, I didn’t even have the energy to take them off after everything that happened today. “What happened?” Viktor asked, his voice above a whisper as he spoke. Alvize sighed in response, silently letting his beta know not to ask before he dismissed him. He walked toward the bed and slowly sat on the edge of the bed to take my shoes off. I didn’t bother moving, Alvize knew that I would do the same if he was in my position, but I couldn’t help but feel helpless. My heart ached, and my chest burned with each breath that I took as the picture of t
Alvize:I woke up to Elena running her finger over my chest.Her chest rose and fell with each breath that she took, but she didn’t bother saying a word as she lay in my arms.I tightened my grip around her, silently letting her know that I was there for her and that I could read through her pain.It broke me inside to know that I couldn’t do anything to help mend her scars, but I knew that the pain that she was in was more than she could handle.The fact that the woman that she considered her friend turned her back on her the way that she did hurt me more than I could admit, mostly because I genuinely did think that she was her friend. However, to see her choosing to accuse her the way that she did, watching as she broke the way she did, it killed me inside.“Do you want to freshen up, malyshka?” I whispered, catching her attention. Elena froze for a second before nodding. I knew that she would want to take a shower, but I didn’t know how she would be feeling about getting out of bed
Elena:I ran my fingers through my hair as I undid my knots before applying a little makeup to my swollen face, wanting to somewhat hide the pain that I was feeling. But I wasn’t stupid, I knew that it would take a lot more than that to do so; however, that was the last thing that I wanted to think of right now.I don’t even remember the last time that I cried as much as I did yesterday, but I had to admit, having Alvize by my side through it made it somewhat easier for me. The man was an angel sent to me, and that was something that I would forever owe him for doing. The sacrifice that he made as he shut his feelings for my sake was one that I was never going to forget, nor was I going to be able to repay him for.The way he wrapped his arms and the way he held me to his chest, assuring me that things would be alright, the way he spoke, the way he would kiss me. Everything just made my aching heart swell as a spec of hope sparked in it.I knew that he was listening to my every move f
Alvize:I couldn’t help the frown that formed on my lips as I processed Elena’s words.That meant that the fucking bastard could have been hearing us at our house, and that was something that I couldn’t help but grow angry about.“Alvize?” Elena asked, catching up to my anger as I walked out of the office. I ran my fingers through my hair and sighed before turning around to face her. Her eyes held more fear in them than I would have liked to see, but I understood her reasons. The fucking bastard was already aware of our movements, and hence why he was either always prepared or we were always one step behind. “What do you suggest that we do?” She asked, letting me know that she was trusting me on this. The fact that I knew that our friendship, or relationship, if I could call it that by now, was based on her trusting me was something that I loved. But I knew that things were going to be a lot more complicated now, and I just hoped that I was worth that trust. “We are going to be figh
