ELINNA

“What did you say about the new investor? I was on a call when you came in the other time and I was distracted.”

Lizzy rolled her eyes at me.

“I said he came in to see the place and he said he was looking forward to meeting you the next time he came.”

Mmm, at least this time, there was no funny story about our investor being possessed.

I wondered if Lizzy would believe it if I told her. I highly doubted it. The way she hated Carlisle, you'd think he was the one who created the devil.

“Why didn't he just wait till I was back before coming? Now he had to make a double trip.”

She thought about it for a moment then shrugged.

“He had already made plans and he had a trip for Japan the next day so I'm guessing he wanted to finish up business in this part of the world.”

That made sense…it was lunch time and my stomach was actually very hungry. My body was so tired and I was sleepy.

When the bell rang, I just put my pen down and rested my head beteeen my hands because I couldn't

    ELINNA“Are you okay? What's wrong?”I gathered myself together and forced a smile, not liking the pain that was shooting through mybhead. I had warned Ice not to shout in my head but I guess the pain I felt didn't matter.The pain didn't last for long though.“Yes, I'm fine. Let's get going. I just thought I forgot something.”As she walked ahead of me, I tried to wonder what the hell had just happened.“Ice, what the hell was that? Why did you shout at me like that?”Helen entered the car before me.“I’m sorry for the way I raised my voice but I did it to warn you. I mean, you couldn't let you talk about Chase. I don't want you telling anyone about Chase until I'm sure that they're clean. You'd be surprised how good demons are at hiding themselves.”What? Helen? Possessed? That was crazy to even imagine.But I couldn't imagine it too until I saw the demon in Carlisle.“Do you think she's possessed too?”I mean, her coming to look for me out of nowhere was a very suspicious thing but

    CARLISLEHe was back.After all these years, he came back.He ruined my life back then and now, just when I thought I could finally have my life back, that bastard was back.“Gomez, why didn't you tell me? Did you think I wouldn't find out?”Gomez kept staring at his feet.“My King, I couldn't bear to tell you the truth. I mean, after all these years that we thought that we had won against him, I couldn't bring myself to tell you that he was back. You would be so disappointed.”I could understand that but what if hebhad gone ahead to do something that didn't want to? I would have to take responsibility for it.“Let’s leave that. I don't know when he's going to be back so we have to hurry up and find out what he wants this time around. Did he go anywhere with me?”From the way Gomez recoiled, I could tell that he had done something he wasn't supposed to.“He went to see her.”My heart sank to the bottom of my feet.I stood up from my chair and crossed the room to meet him, hoping that

    ELINNA“What? What do you mean you're coming to New York?” Brad smiled into the phone. “I mean I'm coming to New York. I have a deal to close and also an excuse to see you and Chase! I've missed you guys so much!”Chase would be so happy when I tell him about this. He didn't get to see Brad before we left back here and he was so close to Brad. “You don't seen as happy as I thought you would. Don't you want to see me?”I gave him a look. “What? How can you say that? Of course I'm happy that you want to come. Hurry up, when is your flight?” I knew that he was going to check his planner. Brad had a very terrible memory and I had to make him buy a planner and sticky notes so that he would remember everything that he needed to do. “Oh, it's this Saturday. I should be with you by Monday morning. It's going to be a very long flight.”Well, we didn't really feel the stress of the flight because we used the private jet so there was a lot of comfortability. “Well, I would be very honored

    CARLISLEGomez had reached out to her. He had called her in front of me and as the phone rang, my heart beat in my chest, wondering what she was going to say when she picked up. “Hello? Who's this?”I gave Gomez a go ahead. “Is this Elinna Evergreen?”She didn't answer immediately. “Yes, this is she. Who is this, again?”“This is Gomez. I'm Carlisle's right hand man.”She burst out laughing. “Did he send you to me? He said he wanted to kill me. Has he asked you to lure me back to the pack?”Gosh, from the way she was talking, I could tell that she was very mad. I really want to know what he had said to her that day he went to her office and the day that he had called her here. “Elinna, please hear me out. That's far from what happened. Listen, he wants to explain what happened to you. Carlisle is not the same anymore. But he's fine now and he heard everything that happened. He wants to apologise for everything the other guy did.”If she was running away from me, it was a valid r

    ELINNAI should’ve known today would be a mess. Honestly, luck has never been on my side.Still, I kept hoping things would change. Just once. Just one good day. But today wasn’t that day.My name is Elinna Wright. I’m the bastard daughter of Alpha Tim Wright, leader of the Sunshine Pack. He never claimed me. I wasn’t born out of love—far from it.My mother died giving birth to me. My father blamed me for it. He hated me from the moment I took my first breath. He never showed me kindness, and things got worse after he married someone else.Early this morning, my step mother, Gina, had asked me to go to the farmers market to pick up some radishes..I'd never understood her obsession with radishes and they never made her cooking taste good..in fact, it tasted even worse than it normally was.As soon as I got to the market, the only shop that sold it was closed and I just stood there looking because I knew that if I went home without them, it would be hell.She hated me without bounds for

    ELINNA Ben kept to his promise and came back when he was down speaking to my dad. “Is everything okay? What did he say?” He didn't speak as he sat down and just stared at one spot.“It’s nothing. Just work stuff.”I should have known something was wrong. His smile was too tight, his eyes avoiding mine just a fraction too long. But I wanted so badly to believe in him - in us.I placed my hand on his shoulder to get his attention. “Are you okay?”He pulled away slightly before catching himself. "Just pack business," he said, forcing a laugh. "Nothing for you to worry about."The way he said it - like I was some child who couldn't handle grown-up matters - made my chest ache. But I swallowed the hurt. Maybe he was just stressed about our anniversary tomorrow. “Let's forget about that. Tomorrow is our anniversary. Three Year anniversary. I have a surprise planned for you.” He added. My stomach did a backflip and I couldn't keep my excitement as I clapped like a little girl. T

    ELINNAThe moment Lily's eyes met mine, the world stopped. Her guilty expression told me everything I needed to know—this wasn't some accidental meeting. This was planned.Then Ben turned.His face changed too fast to catch—shock, irritation, then that smooth, practiced calm I'd come to recognize. The mask he wore when lying."Elinna," he began, already stepping toward me with outstretched hands.I didn't let him finish. The pain was a living thing, clawing up my throat, but I refused to break in front of them. Not here. Not like this.Lily's giggle followed me as I fled, the sound like shards of glass scraping against my ribs.Helen found me in the lobby bathroom, my trembling hands gripping the sink. The beautiful black dress—the one I'd chosen hoping Ben would finally propose—was now damp with tears."I'll kill him," Helen hissed, dabbing at my ruined makeup.I shook my head. "Don't." My voice surprised me—cold where it should have cracked. "They're not worth it."But the hollownes

    ELINNA“Alpha Tim, welcome to my house. You say you have my bride?”My father shoved me forward with unnecessary force. I stumbled slightly before catching myself, forcing my chin up despite the way my pulse pounded in my throat.Carlisle's golden eyes - not blue as I'd first thought in the dim lighting, but a mesmerizing molten gold - raked over me with predatory intensity. His nostrils flared slightly as he inhaled my scent, those unnerving eyes missing nothing from my trembling fingers to the rapid rise and fall of my chest."She is perfect," he finally declared, and the relief that flooded me was so strong my knees nearly buckled.From the corner of my eye, I saw Lily's face twist in jealousy and Ben's fingers curl into fists at his sides.“Excuse us. I would like to speak to her alone.”The butler led them away and only the both of us stayed in the room.“You can look at me. I won't bite.”He has short black hair with the best blue eyes I'd ever seen. He was built, enough to make

    CARLISLEBy the time I woke up, the moon was in the sky.My whole body felt like it had been beating to it's ends with a very big stick and I could barely move. My throat was so parched and it hurt so much when I swallowed.I managed to reach for the bell on my nightstand and rang it. I don't remember the last time I used that bell because I liked doing things myself.The bell was to call for maids or guard when I needed help.Gosh, why couldn't I remember what I had done to make me feel like this?The door opened and Gomez ran in.“My Liege, you're awake. You took a long nap.”“Gomez, get me water and some food. Also some pain killers. Now.”He looked up at me and froze, staring right at me like I had just spoken some foreign language.“Why are you still standing there? Go!”He uses his legs, running out of the room..I managed to gather myself and get out of bed, setting my eyes on the couch beside the window..“What the hell is going on?” I whispered as I sat down.Gomez walked pac

    ELINNA“Noe, explain to me how on earth I tell you to do one thing. One thing! And who do you go ahead to do?! Twenty five other things asides that one thing! Do you think that if he had decided to harm you or kill you, he won't have succeeded?”Since I got home and called for Ice, I'd been getting an earfull..“And who will be blamed for this? Who do you think will have to take the fall for your irresponsible actions, Elinna?! I will. Because I was supposed to be watching you but you put yourself in harm's way!”The fact that she was in my head and she was shouting just made things worse. I had a very bad headache and I had to deal with it. I knew that I shouldn't have gone to smart talk him but I couldn't help it.There was just something about him that made me so angry.“Ice please stop shouting. I didn't mean to. He asked to see you,.I panicked. I thought he wouldn't be able to sense you since you left.”I just laid down on the bed and let the cool breeze hit me. I'd been through

    ELINNA“One would think that taking a body like this would make you more of a man and less of a coward but no, I could smell your cowardice all the way from the gate.”He scoffed and pushed his sunglasses further up his nose bridge.“I’m sure you know how much I hate the sun. So don't waste my time with stupid talks and lets go inside so we can talk about the things that truly matter.”He turned around and walked away, leaving me standing there.I wonder if he could sense Ice. He would have said something if he could. She probably hid herself very well.I followed him into the house, remembering the first time I walked in through these hallways. I felt so happy that day, I felt like every other bride, but I wasn't treated like one.I only saw these hallways two times, the first time I came to this house and the last time I was in this house.That day marked my freedom and I remembered dragging my pregnant self out of this house, swearing that I'll never come back here again even as a

    ELINNAI got to the pack that evening and just headed straight for a hotel.I avoided all the hotels close to my house which was basically all the hotels in the clan.Most of the industries were around where I used to live with my family and I didn't want them to know that I was here because I didn't want them to harass me in any way.I just came here for something and I was going to leave as soon as possible. Didn't want to give them the chance to kill me.I ordered room service on my way to my room and I just slumped on my bed as I got there.Lizzy had called me on my way up and I just told her that I was tired and I wanted to sleep for now and I'll call her later. I sent a message to Chase because I wouldn't be able to call him without falling asleep on the call.I think I fell asleep before the room service cane because I could hear them knocking but my body wouldn't allow me to wake up.I'll apologize to them later.By the next morning, I woke up early and refreshed.
