登入If you last a week.ELARAI barely had time to process the airport and the city before Veil Draven led me to the academy van.The streets of Valerius blurred past, and I realized this was my last chance.I was alone, the life I knew was gone, but I would also return differently. I took in the fresh air of the city and smiled.Sweet place.The academy loomed ahead, white walls cutting into the setting sun, banners with golden tennis rackets waving in the wind.Students milled about outside, stretching, running, tossing balls, or shouting at each other. Everything here smelled of fresh-cut grass and polished wood from the courts.This was it, the place to prove myself. In my last life, I also spent this year training, training back home with Ivy and the rest, but I was too good for them that sometimes brands would pay me to play for them.Veil handed me a clipboard.“First thing, registration. Find your group, get your gear, then orientation. Follow the path, no exceptions.” She was too
ELARAEn Route to ValeriusBefore I could say another word, the lights above Gate 12 flickered red and sirens exploded through the terminal.“Security breach. All passengers step away from the exits.” The boarding scanner shut off and the doors locked automatically.My heart dropped to my stomach.“No… no, no, no…” Why was this happening? This man's hand was still on my shoulder.He didn’t look surprised.Like he knew this would happen, and I seized that opportunity, kicked him in the balls and ran off, leaving my suitcase on the floor.I didn't know where to go and I didn't know who to trust. These strangers were after my life and I needed to escape.Undoubtedly, I didn't need a soothsayer to tell me who they were.I ran. That man was still looking for me. I didn't look back, I just ran.People shoved past me from every direction. Someone crashed into my shoulder and people screamed.The whole terminal had turned into madness and the red lights kept flashing overhead like we were und
ELARAThe VIP terminal doors slid open before I even reached them.I walked in like a queen.Hold on, I am a queen.Adrenaline was running through my body now. I glanced at my wrist. I arrived early.“Name?” The security officer’s voice was calm and professional, but his eyes were sharp.Before, I would have fidgeted and fumbled with my phone, but I just held up my Jetex reservation.“Vance. Elara Vance.”There was an instant recognition. He waved me through without any question or scanning.Vance… What a powerful name, and I would use that name till the end of the world. I promised myself as I walked deeper into the hall.My eyes fell on a man in a tailored suit appearing from the shadows. He stood taller than everyone around, and I just knew who he was.I flashed a smile and majestically walked towards him.I didn't believe Aiden when he said he was responsible. He was probably trying to get me off the matter and take over it, but I wouldn't let him.This was my life and my fight. N
No one owns me.ELARAThe door slammed as he walked away, my phone was still in his hand.“Aiden… wait.”My voice cracked, but he was already gone. All the messages and threats… no, I didn't want him to find out. They warned me and if he read everything…My stomach dropped and I ran.“Aiden!”There was no answer. I heard the front door open and I ran towards it, but before I could get outside, his car engine started and he zoomed off.At this point, I was really confused. I didn't know what to do. Was he going after them? I didn't know, nor did I know who these people were, but one thing I knew was that they could kill him or worse, and it would be my fault.I grabbed the nearest jacket and bolted out. Rainwater still clung to the streets, but his car had already disappeared from my sight.“Damn it…”I walked back into the house. Aria was still sleeping.I took a look at the wall clock and it was already thirty minutes since Aiden told me his doctor was on the way.Why wasn't he here?
Someone always dies.ELARAI ran out of the garden without thinking.The rain got worse, and it crashed down heavily. I was soaked, but I didn't care.With the way I ran, not paying attention to anything, one would think I had lost my mind.Gravel bit into my socks. I wasn't wearing shoes and my breathing was difficult.I didn't know where I was going, but I just ran towards the estate gate.My fingers shook as I pulled out my phone mid-run. I nearly dropped it.Under the rain, I opened the ride app and booked the first car, not even check the price.Pickup was in 2 minutes. It was too long for me and I wanted to run the whole way there.I kept running anyway, splashing through puddles, my hair plastered to my face, making my vision blurred.I tried calling Aria, but she wasn't responding. I was scared for real and knew this was no longer a prank call. It was really eeriee. Fortunately, I saw headlights coming and immediately jumped, flagging it down. I yanked the door open and slid
ELARARUN OR THEY DIEI bolted through the narrow hallway. The key card slipped through my fingers, clattering to the floor, but I didn’t stop. Not even for a breath.I knew I was in trouble. This was my last chance to prove myself to Vance. Even if he hadn’t said it, I knew I was hanging on a thin line and really needed to prove myself to him.The streets outside were empty, washed in the glare of the morning sun.I sprinted, aware that if I missed this flight, I might have missed my opportunity.I stood by the road, trying to flag down a taxi, but it seemed today was a busy day and they were all filled up.I looked back at the hotel and shivered. I had passed out in Aiden's arms and ended up here.I was scared and hoped nothing had happened between us. Once I arrived, the first thing I would do would be to go to the hospital and check myself for any contracted virus or pregnancy. “Airport. Now.” My voice was sharper than I intended. This taxi was empty and the driver glanced at me
Chapter 44 Elara's PovNow, Cassian let go of my hands and ran straight for Seris. I did too, but before I could run a little six steps, Adrian's strong hands shot out and gripped me like a thief who had committed a felony.“Let me go, Adrian. Now, I command you." But he didn't move a step and jus

Chapter 34 Cassian's PovI frowned at Adrian who stood at attention in the room. His voice was steady but his eyes carried something I rarely saw from him, admiration and it wasn't for me, but for my Luna.“Don't you dare Adrian." I said, looking away from him."Alpha, the pharmacy is fully operat
Elara’s Pov Chapter 4 "No." Cassian didn't even look at me when he said it. He just turned back to Seris, his hand resting on her bare shoulder like I had already left the room. "You can't refuse a divorce," I said, my voice steadier than I felt. "Our contract ends in thirty days.” Now he
