Elena: “What the fucking hell are the two of you doing here?” Drake asked, glaring at Alvize and I. Alvize pushed me forward, not wanting me to respond to him, as he stood in front of the man, glaring daggers at the cop who was once my closest of friends. I wasn’t over, and I didn’t think that I would ever be over what happened between the two of us and our friendship. The man was a person that I trusted, and yet, he has chosen to cheat me more than anyone else could have, and that was something that made my chest ache whenever I thought of it. Mostly because it was something that I would have expected from anyone but him. “This is my fucking club, and believe me, I doubt that I am the only one who would be barging in on this case. Therefore, I fucking suggest that you tone the attitude down. Not everyone would keep you alive for Elena’s sake.” Alvize said before taking a step back and walking past him. Alvize wrapped an arm around my waist as the two of us crossed the barrier. Th

Elena:I tried to focus my thoughts enough to try and understand Ezra and Alvize’s words. I swear I did.But right now, all I heard was blurs of conversations. My heart raced and I tried processing everything that was happening, but it was like my whole grounds were now shaken.The fact that there was someone who was out there, one person, who thought that he owed something to my parents made my heart ache. I didn’t even know who the man was or what he owed them, but I could tell that he was being genuine with his statement.Ezra and Alvize were by the door as the man was leaving, giving us our privacy to talk, and I couldn’t help but dread the conversation that was to come. Especially now that I knew that he would be asking me about my pack and who they were.It was something that I kept for myself for a reason. The last thing that I wanted or needed was trouble for them, but judging by the fact that Alvize knew of this, I knew that he wouldn’t drop the topic if the whole world paid

Elena:I stood in front of the front door of Ezra’s house, wondering whether or not I should go inside after what happened between Lia and I.It was a windy day, and the trees that were in front of the house swayed a little. But despite the wind, it was hot, and I couldn’t help but frown as clouds formed before they disappeared again. The whole sky was off, and that was something that I didn’t understand. The last thing that I wanted or needed right now was to face the woman after the issue that happened between the two of us, and needless to say, the woman knew for fact that I didn’t want to talk to her. I didn’t know about her husband, but knowing that I could see her was something that I didn’t want to deal with.“Elena, no one is going to do anything to offend you.” Alvize said, noticing that I stopped and didn’t follow him toward the door. It was already open, but I didn’t find myself wanting to go inside. But I knew that if Alvize brought me here, then whatever facts that I was

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

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
