Summer sat in the secluded corner, her heart racing as she felt the weight of Jessica's gaze upon her. She forced herself to focus on the shimmering lights above, trying to drown out the tension that hung in the air like a thick fog. Jessica's smirk was palpable, and she knew she was up to something.Elias, on the other hand, moved with an air of casual confidence, nodding in acknowledgment as he approached Coleman. Summer's pulse quickened; she could see Elias's jaw tighten slightly as he engaged in light conversation, she hadn't seen him around so she knew he wasn't a Lycan, probably a fox. His easy charm contrasted sharply with the brewing storm inside her."Hey, Coleman," Elias said, his voice smooth as silk. "Everything okay over here? I couldn't help but notice she looks a little… pale."Coleman shot him a wary glance. "She's just not feeling well," he replied, defensive.

He didn't respond, instead walking toward the wardrobe, his back to Tesla.Tesla's eyes flashed with anger, but her voice remained calm.
