INICIAR SESIÓN~Elvira~His eyes snapped to mine so fast but he didn't say anything right away until several seconds later…"You should take a shower first, eat, and rest. Let me make you dinner," he said walking towards me.I stepped away from the counter putting space between us as he rolled the sleeves of his shirt up to his elbows…revealing his thick hairy forearms…he turned on the tap to wash his hands under the running water.I swallowed hard forcing my eyes away from his arms to look at his face instead…Seriously, this short stay wouldn't be easy, I can see that now."No, I want to go now. If I take a shower and eat, I may sleep off. I have made her worried enough," I replied, turning my back on him to head for the front door.The tap went off behind me…I noticed my shoes were neatly arranged on the floor right beside the entrance mat... As I bent down to put my feet on them his footsteps walking toward me made me stop and turn around."Aria is dead, Elvira," he said quietly.I looked him up
~Elvira~ I turned back to my dad. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something to stop me, but I shook my head at him before he could speak. "I will be back; let me handle this." "If he touches you or stops you from coming back, call me!" my dad said, his eyes fixed dead on Gabriel. I nodded. "He won't hurt me, at least not physically, but I will call you." "Good!" As I tried to step away into the car he reached out and pulled me back to hug him. "I am going to miss you so much. I wonder why you are his mate. You know you can reject him, right?" my dad asked softly into my ear… before I could reply. A violent growl tore between us…Gabriel dragged me away from my his grip glaring at my dad as he pushed me into the back seat of his car. "My things... I didn't get..." I started, looking back at the estate. He slammed the door shut cutting off my voice. Through the dark tinted glass I heard him call back his men…the warriors lowered their guns and retreated toward the oth
~Elvira~ How did he know about the pup? Had Miranda told him? "You know about my pregnancy? When?!" I demanded glaring at him as my throat tightened. "Dr. Miranda told me when you escaped. Said you were almost losing the pregnancy and you needed medical attention, Elvira. Why did you keep this pregnancy from me? You should have told me the moment you found out! You should have let me know I was going to have a child, to be a father. Why did you hide it from me?" he asked in a small voice…and it broke me. I blinked fast trying to hold back the tears that his questions had brought up…all the hurt..,the pain I was trying so hard to let go of came crashing back to the surface. A teardrop fell down my cheek as I turned my face away forcing myself to look anywhere else but at him. "It doesn't matter anymore, Gabriel." I stepped back shaking my head. "What are you saying? Of course it matters! That's my pup, my heir, the next Alpha of Silverblade, my responsibility! Of cours
~Elvira~ "Dad! Please stop!" I yelled, rushing forward to grab his hands…he turned, staring at me in confusion "Elvira, I can't let you go with him!" he yelled back. "You have to for now. I will be back, I promise. If you don't let me talk to him, he won't leave, and I don't want anyone getting hurt because of this." Magnus shook his head… He thrust his hands forward forcing even more power into the blocking barrier…but beneath my palms, I felt his arms trembling..his strength was giving out fading fast while Bane kept raging furiously on the other side. "Please, Dad, trust me to handle this. He's not going to take me away…even if he does, I will be back soon. Please!" I gripped his hands tighter shaking him until he finally let the magic drop. I watched as the crystal barrier flickered and weakened. "Stand back!" he yelled at the other coven members who were helping him hold the line…they stopped immediately, dropping their hands and pulling their energy back.
~Elvira~ I blinked confused at her words… ‘Who's here?’ ‘Mate!’ she growled. ‘You should go face him. I can't stand him; I'm afraid I will do something ugly,’ she added while I was forced back to my human form… leaving me gasping on the grass. "What? Gabriel's here?" I asked Selene…she was the only person remaining in the clearing with me, she handed me the dress… I noticed her hands trembling... "I think so, because that was a breach warning, and everyone is summoned to be on alert!" she replied looking back at the mansion. I put on the dress fast pulling it over my damp skin…feeling a mix of curiosity and adrenaline…My hands shook as I arrange the dress on my shoulders well. "But how did he know to come here? How did he find this place?" I asked seeing the frown on her face. She shook her head clearing whatever thought was going on in her head, then forced a smile that didn't reach her eyes. "It's Gabriel, Elvira. I'm surprised he hasn't come till now; finding
~Elvira ~ "Do you think it would work?" I asked my father as he walked me down a path at the back of the estate. The path was just a tiny walkway surrounded by tall shrubs and flowers as we walked by, the damp morning soil pressed softly beneath my shoes…dew hung on the leaves, glinting like scattered glass in the sunlight… The sounds of birds chirping in the morning air settled the anxiety in my heart…though the quiet calm felt almost surreal against the storm raging in my head. Last night had been a tough one…the truths about my mother’s relationship with my father, how they lost contact, and my grandmother's hand in it all was a shocking reveal I may never heal from…every single piece of information had felt like salt poured on old wounds I hadn't even known were bleeding… We all ate dinner later in silence, each lost in their own thoughts…For me, I was occupied with how to make sure my stepfather pay…it's the only way my mother's memory can be laid to rest and avenged in my
~Elvira~ As I stepped out of the bathroom then put on my clothes Gabriel bagged into my room, why was he here now? Had he sensed something? I wondered "What went wrong?" he demanded. "I... I don’t know what you mean," I stammered. I tried to look away, terrified that he would see the silver sw
~Elvira~ I walked toward the enrollment desk, my heart beating rapidly out of anticipation, the building was modern with glass walls and shiny floors, and it was full of recruits. There were tall, muscular men in athletic gear from other territories and Silverblade youths looking like they were s
~Elvira~ The walk to the mansion was silent. I kept my eyes down, but noticed high sensory cameras tucked into the oak branches, their red lights blinking. Silverblade had a massive security network. The pack house was a large mansion of marble and white stone, beautiful but intimidating.
~Elvira~ ~Present~ The cell door hissed shut behind me, the locking mechanism echoing down all the way down, after the chill of the cell, I felt completely weak, my muscles trembling, my legs buckled, so I dropped my hands to my knees to keep from fainting. "What do you think you're doing?" a
