Elaine

The day dragged on.

After Arsel left, I had some time to myself, so I just focused on studying the journaling guide and filled in a few entries. At that moment, I realized I was a very good writer; my handwriting was neat and well-formed.

That could only mean that, in one way or another, I’d had a decent upbringing, as well as order and structure. And I had no idea how I knew it, but something inside me felt that my upbringing wasn’t so simple.

I decided to let my memory drift on its own

    ArselI saw Elina lift her face toward me, her eyes sparkling in the golden light of the sunset filtering through the immense willow trees in the clearing. She was so beautiful, so ethereal and vulnerable, that my heart skipped a beat.When she stood slightly on tiptoe, closing the small distance between us, my brain shut down. The kiss was not the result of a conscious thought on either of our parts. It was pure instinct, an irresistible gravitational force that pulled us toward each other.Our lips met.Just the delicate pressure of her lips against mine, but the explosion of sensations inside me was monumental, a cataclysm that shook the foundations of my soul. It was sweet, incredibly tender, and, above all, profoundly right.My wolf howled with victory and relief in my mind.She is ours, Leo said firmly.And the recognition of that was clear.It was as if every cell in my body had been searching for that specific touch, that texture, that breath, since the day I was born. My hand

    ElaineThat same afternoon, the atmosphere in the mansion was thick with anticipation for Amelie’s imminent arrival. People truly seemed to love and respect her, so the Omegas didn’t hesitate to prepare a special room for her, and Beth spoke with Selene about the foods the sorceress loved most.Witnessing everyone’s affection for her brought a lump to my throat.Not because people loved her, but because I felt overwhelmed by the idea of meeting her because she could very well bring back my dreaded memories.You have to be strong; you can’t break down right now, I thought like a mantra.And I repeated it over and over.And I figured my nervousness was radiating into the air, because after lunch, Arsel showed up in my room. He wasn’t wearing his formal Alpha clothes anymore but dark pants and a linen shirt open at the collar, giving him a wonderfully down-to-earth and wild look. I stifled a gasp at seeing him so comfortable, and he handed me a bag of new clothes.“Get changed,” Arsel or

    ElaineThe morning dawned shrouded in a silvery mist that tangled among the tops of the immense, centuries-old pine trees, giving the mansion a dreamlike, almost melancholic air, and I wondered if that had to do with my mood or with the fact that there was something else going on.I sighed and took a bath, then got dressed and realized that the wardrobe they had prepared for me was already running low. That made my cheeks flush, but it was something I would deal with later.One step at a time, I thought calmly, though with embarrassment.I didn’t like to be a bother or to owe anyone anything; it was something my body and mind undoubtedly recognized.That’s why I was restless, especially because I had to tell Selene or Arsel what was going on.However, I went downstairs and didn’t see anyone; I just frowned when I heard the noise coming from outside. I peeked out at the entrance, which was usually quiet at that hour, and realized the place was buzzing with subdued activity.Everyone wa

    ElaineMate.The word had been floating in my mind like a leaf caught in a whirlpool.I didn’t know why, but I had a feeling it was crucial information.During that tea in the Winter Garden, when Tris said it, Selene had visibly paled, and that was a sign of something important.I knew nothing about my past, but if there was one thing I was learning about myself, it was that I didn’t let go of hunches easily.The fact that the conversation had gone from A to Z so quickly was a sign. In the blink of an eye, we were talking about vampires, sorcerers, and supernatural politics, leaving me with a doubt that gnawed at me from the inside.That night, curiosity turned into an urgent need.A deathly silence enveloped the mansion, interrupted solely by the wind's murmur against the windows. I knew Arsel was in his office. I’d seen the sliver of light seeping beneath his heavy mahogany door.I walked barefoot down the hallway, feeling the cold of the floor beneath my feet.I was nobody.I had n

    ElaineWe walked through the mall with everyone’s eyes on us.My body was tense, but I stayed calm as Selene explained that this mall was one of the first businesses Alfa Arsel had launched when he was just a 15-year-old teenager.The fact completely surprised me, but it was a clear insight into the person I was dealing with. It just meant that Arsel wasn’t just cunning; he was also shrewd and visionary from a young age.I found that fact completely fascinating.“Come on, we have to go around the edge; the Winter Garden is behind the mall, but you enter through the side,” Tris explained, and that surprised me.“The Winter Garden?” I asked, very confused.Selene laughed.“Yes, it’s another business my son runs,” Selene said. “It was his idea, along with his younger sisters. I think you’re going to like it.”We walked toward an entrance at the end of the mall, and when I looked closely at where we were going, I was fascinated.The Winter Garden was spectacular.It was a huge glass dome

    ElaineArsel left and left me alone.Whatever was going on, he felt it had nothing to do with me, so I didn’t press the issue and stayed among the rose bushes a little longer, until I finally went back to my room, washed up, and got into bed.I didn’t have the strength or the desire to go out for dinner; my social energy was completely drained.I took many deep breaths, and—I didn’t know how or why—I remembered a breathing exercise that could help me sleep. In my memory, a warm, calm voice guided me through the process.It was the 4-7-8 breathing technique.It involved inhaling through the nose for 4 seconds, holding the breath for 7 seconds, and exhaling noisily through the mouth for 8 seconds. The cycle was to be repeated about 4 more times. The goal was to calm the nervous system, reduce anxiety, and fall asleep.That’s what I did, and I slept peacefully.When I woke up, I found myself in a completely unfamiliar place. A bitter sensation crept up my back and coiled around my neck;
