ELISA'S POV I looked at the guard in disbelief. For a moment, I thought my ears were playing tricks on me. "I beg your pardon?" I said. The words came out before I could stop them. That was how surprised I was. "The Lycan King" the guard said "He wishes to see you. Kindly grant him his request"

ELISE'S POV I sat in the corner of my room with my knees drawn to my chest, trying to suppress the fear inside me. The encounter with Gina still played on a loop in my mind. I remembered how angry she was. Was she really not behindJackson's poisoning? Was she taunting me? Or was I truly losing my
