EllaI took a deep breath and picked up the ringing phone, my heart racing as I saw the unknown caller ID. With a shaky hand, I answered, not entirely knowing what to expect on the other end, although I had a pretty good idea as to who it was.“Hello?” I said, trying to keep my voice steady.A chilling voi
EllaThe sound of the buzzer reverberated through my apartment louder than I had expected, and the grating sound sent shivers down my spine.I was sitting on the floor amidst the mess after I had just torn apart my living room in a desperate search for hidden cameras, driven to paranoia by Marina’s threats.But
EllaThe cleaning began in earnest, Logan and I working side by side to restore some semblance of order to my once-tidy living room. As we picked up the scattered cushions and placed them back on the couch, I couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude mixed with curiosity.Finally, unable to contain my curiosity any longer, I cleared my throat and spoke up. “Logan, why are you doing all of this? Helping me clean, taking me to that race... I don’t understand.”

However, despite my hatred for my brother, he also knew the businessman who had suddenly accused me. If anyone had answers, it would be him. I was sure of it; coaxing those answers out of him, though, was a different story.
EllaAs Sarah and I walked towards my apartment building, I tried my best to keep a facade of normalcy. The outing had been a welcome distraction, but the weight of my secret and the fear of being overheard hung heavily in my mind.The whole walk home, I had been checking over my shoulder. I still felt that nagging sensation of being watched; the hairs on the back of my neck were raised and my wolf was on edge, but neither of us could sense anything else. Every time I turned around, ther
EllaAs I stood by the window, tears streaming down my cheeks, I watched Logan get into his car and drive away. I felt like I had failed him, and truthfully, I had. Here I was, his ally despite of everything, and yet I was plotting his downfall.And I couldn’t even tell him.Logan’s car faded into the dist
