Elaine

A pleasant warmth washed over my entire body.

Then I awoke enveloped in a violet mist that smelled of vanilla—an unusual combination, but one that my amnesiac mind was already beginning to associate with salvation.

Then the memories came flooding back to me.

The effect of the fairy nectar still weighed on my eyelids like tiny lead weights, but that stabbing pain—the flash that had split my skull in the forest clearing—had vanished completely. In its place was a strange lethargy, a sensat

    ElaineNight fell over the mansion with a silence that seemed to amplify my thoughts. After the kiss on the balcony, Arsel had become more cautious, as if he feared that a single sudden movement might shatter the fragile peace we had built. But my curiosity, fueled by the stories Selene and Tris had told me about the nature of his kind, was stronger than my fear.“Arsel,” I called out as he finished lighting the fireplace in my room. The light from the flames danced across his face, highlighting his angular, hard features. “I want to see the wolf. I really do.”He stood motionless, the poker still in his hand.He turned slowly, and I saw a mixture of surprise and warning in his gaze.“Elina, he’s… primal. His instincts are rawer than mine, if that’s even possible. I’m afraid his size or energy might overwhelm you after what you went through in

    ElaineA pleasant warmth washed over my entire body.Then I awoke enveloped in a violet mist that smelled of vanilla—an unusual combination, but one that my amnesiac mind was already beginning to associate with salvation.Then the memories came flooding back to me.The effect of the fairy nectar still weighed on my eyelids like tiny lead weights, but that stabbing pain—the flash that had split my skull in the forest clearing—had vanished completely. In its place was a strange lethargy, a sensation of weightlessness that made me feel as if my bones were made of cotton and my mind were a room freshly painted white: empty of memories, yet in absolute peace.The first thing I saw was not the carved ceiling of my room, but a hand.A huge hand, with prominent knuckles and slightly tanned skin, resting on the edge of my mattress with such obvious tension that it looked as if at any moment it would break the bed’s wood.I followed the arm with my eyes, up a bicep straining against the fabric

    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
