Mag-log inElena POV A chill went through my spine as his words settled in my mind. Not safe. What did that mean? Was someone coming after me? “Tell me everything.” Draven said, holding onto my shoulders. The look in his eyes was serious. He was really worried about this. So I told him everything. “You got into an accident?” He asked, looking me up and down and turning me sideways. I didn’t miss the low breath he let out in relief on seeing me unharmed. I grimaced as I discreetly checked his expression, the car had looked expensive. “Yeah, but it was a minor one, no damage at all except for maybe a few scratches on the car.” But he didn’t mention anything more about the car. “Did you get his contact information or something?” “The driver did.” I said slowly, the chill in my spine had moved to my stomach. “Why, what’s wrong?” He started pacing the passageway again. “The fake news report you watched is enough to be concerned about, but the timing of you suddenly running into him is a bit
Draven POV“We’ve really had such a great time here Alpha Draven.” Cassandra said with a smile, twirling the glass of champagne in her hand. She turned to her brother who stood at her side.“Don’t you agree Caleb?”“I’m sure Alpha Draven hasn’t had a moment of peace ever since you darkened his doorsteps Cassandra.” He scolded, but I could see the fondness in his eyes as he looked down at her. “You should be glad he indulged you.”Cassandra bit her lip to suppress a laugh and gave a little curtsy. “Thank you for indulging me Alpha Draven.”Strangely, the action reminded me of Elena. Maybe it was the way she said one thing while clearly meaning another. Or it was the way her blonde hair framed her face as she slightly lowered her head.I wondered if she was comfortable at the estate.I’d ensured my phone was always fully charged and on me at every moment but she hadn’t called even once.I even went as far as contacting the guards at the estate to know if she had gotten the phone and note
Elena POV Click Click Click Somehow, despite the noise from the music, the talking, the laughing and the murmurs of greeting once people caught sight of me, the sound of my shoes clicking on the elegantly tiled floor still stood out to my ears. The crowd parted neatly allowing me to pass through without any hindrances. I beelined straight to the tall man in a long brown coat and his hair slicked back into a ponytail, who had his back turned to me. Straight to where he was currently chatting with Alpha Caleb and his sister, Cassandra. She truly looked like a lotus flower, unstained by mud in her custom white dress. Draven stiffened and turned halfway through a sentence, the smile dying on his lips as his eyes rapidly searched the room. I felt the air freeze the moment our eyes met, I knew the moment his confusion turned into anger. I shouldn’t have come here. Muttering something that looked like a curse under his breath, he gave away his glass to a passing server and stalk
Elena POV I jerked forwards as our car crashed with the bumper of the one in front of us and we came to a stop. Thankfully, I’d been wearing my seatbelt or else I might have been sporting a very nasty bruise on my head right now. The driver cursed and went out to check the damage. The owner of the car we had hit and his passenger also came out to check the damage. They both held onto selfie sticks with phones attached to them. Obviously they hadn’t been paying attention to the road and that had been the cause of the accident. They exchanged contact information with our driver but I noticed that the owner of the other car kept trying to peek into our car. With a flash of recognition on his face, he immediately swept past the driver and rushed to the back door. “Luna! Luna!” He yelled excitedly, turning his phone to face me. “I’m such a huge fan of yours, please say hi to the camera.” I hadn’t ever encountered this kind of situation before so I was hesitant. I turned to the head
Elena POV I stood stock still in the living room and stared blankly at the tv for a long time, long past when the reporter moved to another piece of news. But I couldn’t hear anything past the roaring in my ears. Draven. My Draven. With shaky hands, I finally dialed that number and held the phone to my ear only to hear a cold mechanical voice: “The person you’re calling cannot be reached at this time.” No. I had to do something, anything. I raced to my room and back downstairs after throwing on the first pair of shoes I could find. I didn’t even know what color it was. At the door, I was stopped by a guard with a scowl on his face. Their leader. Everyone else accommodated me when I had tried to talk to them, everyone except him. All day, everyday, he walked around with a frown on his face like someone owed him money. “Where do you wish to go Luna?” He asked, polite but unnervingly firm. “I’ll send someone to get whatever you want immediately.” I mustered a bright smile. “I j
Elena POV I stared blankly at the phone I held tightly in my left hand. I’d found it on the dressing table that morning. Draven had left it behind with a note: “Call me immediately, if something happens.” If something happens. I smiled bitterly. What could possibly happen to me here in this fortress? I’d spent three weeks stuck here, alone, while he attended and organized parties. ‘He’s probably forgotten all about you.’ Something dark and cruel whispered in my head. He’s probably over whatever little infatuation he had for you, now that he’s back among his own kind. The rich, elite, powerful. I’d seen on the news his appearances with the Alpha King who had come to visit. Alpha King Caleb. How he smiled so easily at them, at the woman who had come along with Caleb. His younger sister, the media had announced. Alpha King Caleb was a handsome man, but he paled in comparison to his sister. She was lovely in that way that implied she was untouched by the darkness of the
