LOGINTRIGGER WARNING: MENTION OF SUICIDEElena POV“Of course I care about you.” I said. “You’re my friend.”“Friend.” He repeated as he walked away, a surprising amount of anger in his voice.“What are you doing?” I called after him but he ignored me and instead started pulling open all the drawers to search for something. Then he started checking every corner of the room, even pulling the curtains apart to check the windows.“Where are you going?” I asked helplessly as his hand rested on the door’s handle. “We’re not done talking.”“Why?” He whirled around so fast that I winced, almost certain he must have pulled a muscle in his neck. “What else is there to talk about? Want me to give you suggestions on the easiest way for you to off yourself? Perhaps you want me to watch you do it?”Inhale.Exhale.“Why are you so angry?” I asked quietly. “I don’t want us to be on bad terms with each other.”“Are you messing with me?” He glared at me. “Do you think that matters to me right now?”“Lucas
TRIGGER WARNING:MENTION OF SUICIDEElena POV“Are you even listening to me?” Lucas’ anxious voice pulled me out of my thoughts. “You aren’t still thinking about letting her go, are you?”“I—““Elena,” his hands moved to my shoulders and held on tightly as if he wished to shake me a few times. “She tried to kill you. Twice.”“I know you think it’s stupid,” I said softly. Despite how forceful he was being, I knew it was only out of concern for me. “But—““It’s not only stupid but incredibly reckless.” He growled. “What if she somehow manages to come after you again? What then?”“Come after me?” I repeated, confused. “How would she be able to do that, with me in the dungeons?”He withdrew his hands from my shoulders and leaned back into his seat, his voice low. “I’ve already managed to convince some of the council members and they’ve agreed to help. Today, when I bring it up at the meeting, they’ll support me in ensuring you come out.” His voice softened. “You won’t have to go back in t
TRIGGER WARNING: MENTION OF SUICIDEElena POV“Can you give it to me when you’re done?” A low voice suddenly sounded right next to my ear.I looked around carefully but there was no one else in the cell with me. “Give what?” I asked, almost certain that I was now hearing things.“I saw your tray. They removed every sharp object you could have used to harm yourself but you aren’t even worried.” The voice continued. “It’s obvious you have something hidden already. Can you pass it to me when you’re done?”Unlike my initial assumption, the voice was real and it was coming from the wall behind me.I tried not to let the worry show in my voice. Was she going to tell Lucas? “Why not use yours?”After a prolonged dry chuckle, the woman’s voice sounded again. “You think everyone’s like you? Some of us have to eat with our bare hands.”I pushed away my surprise at her words and forced my voice to remain calm. “Why do you think I’m planning to hurt myself?”“It sounded that way earlier.” She sa
TRIGGER WARNING: MENTION OF SUICIDE Elena POV Half asleep, I burrowed deeper into the blanket but no matter how much I turned, it never seemed to cover me fully. “Draven,” I called drowsily after a few more seconds, “I’m cold.” When the blanket didn’t magically fix itself around me and no thick arm reached to pull me closer to a warm chest, I opened my eyes, blinking in confusion at the unfamiliar walls around me. Right. My breath caught in my throat as the memories came rushing in, washing away every bit of sleep from my eyes. He’s gone. My hands held on tightly to the blanket. I shouldn’t have opened my eyes. I should have continued sleeping. Maybe then I would have been able to dream of him. In the middle of my daily round of self pity, I heard footsteps. Quickly, I closed my eyes and calmed my breathing before the person could get close enough to see that I wasn’t sleeping. A short while later, the person moved away as if they’d only come to check who I’d been talking to.
Draven POVThe doctor rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly. “Weusuallykeepasparekeyoutside.”“Huh?” I raised an eyebrow at him. “Speak English.”“The intern kept losing the key whenever he took it home.” He said, looking away. “So I started keeping a spare key outside under a potted plant. They must have been watching us for longer than I’d thought for them to have noticed it.”“How careless.” I muttered. “How would you have fought the four of them off alone if Jon and I hadn’t come here today?”“I guess that’s why you’re here then.” He said, smiling broadly. “Consider the bill for your consultation settled.”I shook my head and looked down at Jon, his face was still pale but he looked a bit more relaxed. “What do you need me to do?”***********************“Is there really no way to restore my vision?” I asked the doctor in a low voice. “Even if just for a short while. It’s important.”He was in the middle of slowly shaking his head when an irritated look appeared on his face. He t
Elena POVThe shouts and cries of the pack members faded out from behind me as the warriors hurried me towards… I looked up, the council hall. It hadn’t even been fifteen minutes since I’d last been in the hall and yet within those few short minutes, it felt like everything in my life had changed. Once again.Despite all I’d seen and heard within the last few minutes, despite the confusion that swirled in my mind like vicious fog, my hands didn’t tremble. They were far too busy clutching the sides of my dress.Crash!In the split second between hearing the unmistakeable sound of metal hitting the floor and searching for the source of the noise, a body pushed roughly against mine only to be thrown back out by the encirclement of warriors that immediately grew tighter around me.“What do you think you’re doing?” One of the warriors bellowed at the intruding servant after a quick check at me to ensure I was still in one piece. The servant, hearing the plain anger in his voice promptly d
Elena POV My eyes trailed down to my wrist, my bare wrist. More than a week had passed since the bracelet broke and I hadn’t had any episodes or any pain since then. Which was… a good thing. But I just couldn’t stop thinking about it, what if my powers suddenly flare up out of the blue again? O
Elena POV I closed my eyes weakly as the doctor finished asking questions and left the room. Drip Drip Drip I could hear the liquid as it dropped from the IV bag into the tube and then straight into my veins. “Do you feel better now?” Draven asked softly, his deep voice sending a thrill stra
Elena POV We stared silently at every inch of the wall for several minutes before I spoke, “it’s…bare.” I looked up at Draven, but his face looked as confused as I felt, “did I get it wrong?” He furrowed his brows, his lips straightening into a hard line, “you felt it here right? Try walking pa
Elena POVCassandra turned to me, silent, her chest heaving, but I could see the desperation in her eyes. Liquid gathered in her blue eyes, just short of spilling over.I let out a long breath and stepped in front of her, mustering a small smile to my face as I turned to Alpha Caleb, “is it alright
