Kayden’s pov

I walked up to Lena. My heart beat very fast. I wondered what she was doing here anyway.

“What in the world are you doing here? This is a private party,” I said as I gripped her arm and took her to a secluded area.

“I came to see you.”

I frowned, shaking my head. "You should go home. This is not a place for you."

She looked me straight in the eyes. "No, I want to stay. I want to see you."

Before I could say more, footsteps came from behind me. I spun around to see my father and mother walking toward us. Others trailed with them. They all halted and stared.

My father’s eyes slitted. “Who is this girl?” he demanded in a voice that was low but carried weight.

I looked at Mira. She was standing silently near a flower, her face calm but her eyes sharp and paying attention to everything. My mouth suddenly went dry. I was about to speak when Lena took a tiny step forward and said in a clear loud voice,

“I’m Lena and I am Kayden’s girlfriend.”

“Fuck me,” I muttered as I closed m

    Mira’s povI didn’t say anything right away. I lowered my eyes to the ground and looked at my hands. They were shaking slightly."I didn't know my mother would do that," I said softly. "It wasn't planned. I didn't know."Kayden laughed a small laugh again, but it wasn’t a funny one, and there was pain in it. "Yeah, right,” he said. “Sure, Mira. You didn’t know.”I looked at him then. His jaw was set. His eyes were like steel. But I saw the agony inside.“It’s a fact,” I said. “She called me a couple hours ago and spilled it. I had half a mind not to come.”“Could’ve said no,” he said.I sighed. “You know I can’t always say no to her. She’s… she’s still my mother. And I still belong to this pack. To this family. We have to follow rules.”“Yeah?” he said, turning to look at me now. “So that’s it? Follow rules, do what you’re told, marry who they pick?”I looked away.He shook his head. “And what about me?” he said. “Don’t,” I whispered. “Don’t say that.”“I have to know.”“And what abo

    Mira’s povI walked slowly beside Lucas to his car. I could feel the air blowing past me as I felt calm. “You know, I don’t expect to be surprised like that tonight,” he said.I smiled back. “It’s okay. I understand.”“I’m hoping you’re not mad at me or anything. It’s not my fault.”I wasn't. I shook my head.He nodded but still looked unsure. “How about we make this work.”“Look, I don’t feel like dating anyone yet.”Lucas laughed quietly. “So I guess you’re dating your step brother then? That’s… weird.”I frowned, a little hurt at his assumption. “Kayden is just being protective of me. Nothing else. So, don’t worry about that.”Lucas smiled. "Sorry if I sounded rude. I didn't mean that." “I don’t like how you made it look.”He stepped closer. "I really am sorry. We can just date. We don't have to rush. We can see how it goes."I nodded slowly. “Okay.” He smiled big and opened his arms. I felt a little shy but I stepped into his hug. It was warm and a little nice. I pulled back af

    Lucas’s povI walked by the huge gate of our mansion. I was tired but I felt proud. The house looked big with white walls and big glasses on their windows which were sparkling in the heat of sun because it was mid-noon. I went into the living room where my father was sitting on a long brown sofa talking to two men in suits, they were laughing, but as soon as they saw me, they stopped laughing. I bowed down to them with respect.My father looked at me and smiled. “Excuse me, gentlemen.” He said to the men, then he got up. “I need to speak with my son.”They nodded as my father came to me and smiled as we walked to his study.It was small but filled with papers to high piles.Books lined the walls, stacked in such numbers I had never seen before. My father closed the door behind us and faced me.“Well?” he said, his voice urgent. “Have they accepted you?”“Yes, Father,” I said, standing straight. “They voted. I am now officially an elder.”A smile slowly spread across his face. He step

    Mira’s povI stood still.I couldn’t speak, I just looked. Lucas... he was there. Wearing the robe of an elder.An elder’s robe!My heart started pumping. Why was he here? What did he need that for?He turned slowly, and when his eyes found mine, he smiled. A soft smile almost like he had been waiting to see me all day.I felt my face turn red as I tried to calm myself from feeling anything for him.He walked to me and took my hand as he kissed the back of it.Right here! In front of everyone! “Lady Mira,” he said in a calm and smooth voice. “It is good to see you again.”I wanted to say something but my tongue was held back. All I could do was gulp.Kayden in the other hand didn’t seem happy as he stepped forward. His face alive with fury. I found his hands clenched beside him.“What in the world are you doing here Lucas?” Kayden demanded in a sharp, cold voice.Lucas released my hand slowly and glanced at Kayden before his gaze swung back to mine. His expression never wavered. “I

    Kayden’s povThe meeting continued to go on for another hour.The elders spoke most about the schools, the security and the food supplies. “Kayden,” my father said, “you should check the southern border this week.”“Yes, Father,” I said.“Mira will go with you,” my stepmother said.A gasp escaped my mouth as I looked at Mira. She looked at me.We didn't say anything.“Is that alright?” my father asked.“Yes,” I said, quickly. “Fine,” Mira said.“Good,” my stepmother said, smiling. “You guys should make a good team then.”The meeting ended a short time later as no the elders stood and, one by one, bowed before they went away. My stepmother leaned closer to me. “Go and speak with her and bond with your sister,” she whispered.I nodded. If only she knew how corny that sounded.I stood up and I walked over to Mira. She was still sitting down.“Mira,” I said as she looked at me.“Yes?”“I just…” I hesitated. “I just wanted to say hello.”"Hello," she said."Can we talk?" I asked.“Here?
