DRAKE POV

we stood in the grand courtyard, as a formal line of pack officials seeing off Alpha Kael, and a long line of black cars waited, with their engines purring softly. The only sound that was out of place was from Elara, who was clutching her father’s arm, and crying as if he were being shipped off to war, instead of returning back to his own pack.

I turned slightly and caught Andre and Lucas’s eye and saw my thought been reflected perfectly on their faces…. ‘If she wants to go with him so badly, why doesn’t she just get in the car?’

After a lengthy dramatic display of father-daughter affection, Alpha Kael finally pulled Elara off him and led her by the arm over to me. Then he placed her hand firmly on my arm, with his grip a little too tight for comfort.

“Take care of my daughter, Drake,” he said loudly, so that the rest assembly could hear us. “She is my most precious treasure. And remember, if you ever need my help, do not hesitate to call. My warriors are yours.”

    LUCAS POVI stared at the messenger, not believing what I had just heard. “Say that again.”The young wolf looked nervous. “Alpha Drake and Miss Elara, sir. They were seen walking in the gardens together this afternoon. Holding hands. The whole staff is….talking.”My blood turned cold. “You are dismissed.”The boy scurried away. I stood in hallway, my first clenched. Holding hands. After all the trouble she caused. After the venom she had spread about Lillian. Drake was holding her hand.I did not think. I just moved.My feet carried me through the pack house, up the stairs to guest wing. I reached her door knocked hard. Three sharp knocks.The door opened.Elara stood there. She was dressed in a soft blue dress, with her hair down. She looked….gentle. She smiled when she saw me. “Lucas. What a surprise. Come in.”I did not move. “We need to talk.”“Of course,” she said and stepped back. “Please.”I walked in and left the door wide open. She gestured to a chair. “Would you like to si

    LILLIAN POVThe old woman in the hospital bed glared at me. “No! Not there! It hurts there! You young doctors do not know anything!”I inhaled deeply as I tried to calm myself. “Mrs. Gable, the injection has to go in the muscle. This is the best spot. It will be quick.”“You said that last time! Liar! I want another doctor!”I was about to try again when a knock sounded on the ward door. I was so weary from the snapping. “Come in,” I called out, my voice sounding tired.The door opened and Dr. Wanni walked in with a huge smile on her face. “Lillian! They directed me to…..oh.” Her smile vanished as she took in the scene: Mrs Gable’s furious face, my exhausted eyes.Wanni’s expression became serious and professional. “Let me,” she said softly, as she stepped forward.I nodded gratefully and stepped back.Wanni approached the bed and said warmly but in a firm manner. “Mrs. Gable, my name is Dr Wanni. I hear you are giving my colleague a hard time.”“She wants to hurt me!” The old woman i

    ANDRE POVAfter dinner, I found Lillian standing on the balcony. she was looking up at the night sky with a faraway expression on her face. I walked up behind her and kissed her softly on the shoulder. She flinched and turned around. Her eyes were teary.Before she could speak, I held my hands up, silencing her. “I am sorry. For earlier. For getting angry. Do not think about it too much, okay?”She blinked and a single tear rolled down her cheek. I wiped it away with my thumb. Then I leaned in and kissed her softly on her lips. It was a gentle kiss. An apology without words.When I pulled back, I searched her face. “Are we cool now?”She let out a soft, shaky laugh and nodded. “Yes. We are cool.”Just then, Lucas stepped onto the balcony, with a serious look on his face. “We have left Drake alone for too long. We need to get back. Before Elara succeeds with whatever she is planning.” From inside the dining hall, Salome called out loudly, “What is that witch up to now?”Lucas shrugg

    DRAKE POVI stood on the balcony. The same spot where I used to stand with Lillian. It felt like years ago now.I could not get her out of my mind. But I had to. She was not mine.My thoughts jumped to the kiss with Elara. I tried to shake the memory away, with disgust on my face, but it stuck in my mind like glue.The strange thing was, when I thought about it now, the disgust was not as strong. Maybe because Elara hand not been her horrible self lately. But still….could I trust her? Ever?I did not know how long I stood there. Minutes maybe. When I finally moved, I found myself standing outside Elena’s door. Lillian mother’s plant room.Before I could knock, the door opened and Elena was waking back inside, with a huge pair of gardening scissors in her hand.“Alpha Drake,” she said without looking surprised. “Come in. You are letting the good air out.”I stepped inside. The room was warm and smelled of earth and flowers. “I am sorry for intruding.”She waved the scissors at me. “Non

    LILLIAN POVI sat alone in the mansion living room, as I tried desperately not to stare at Andre and Willow, who were talking and laughing about some old memory. Willow’s hands were moving as she spoke, and Andre was smiling, a relaxed smile I had not seen in a while.As I did not want to look jealous, I had to look away.I saw Salome and Lucas out on the balcony. They were having a heated discussion. Salome’s arms were crossed. Lucas was gesturing with his hands and I knew exactly what they were arguing about. Me. Us. Her.I suddenly felt too hot sitting there. I needed to move.So I stood up and walked to the dining area. Lydia was there, arranging dishes.“Need help?” I asked.Lydia smiled at me with a knowing look in her eyes, but she did not say anything. She just handed me some forks and I started to set them around the table.I tried to focus on the silverware. In the plates. But my mind was on Dr. Wanni and Baron. How close they stood. They way they talked. Old friends.“May I

    ANDRE POVLydia hurried off to help set the table for dinner and Lillian went with her, after she gave me a small smile as she left the room. Willow was talking to me in the sitting hall, telling me about her Buisness plans in the city. But my mind was somewhere else.I could see Salome and Lucas out in the balcony, and they were talking in hushed tones. Salome’s arms were crossed, and I knew what that meant.“Willow, please excuse me for a moment,” I said. “Ofcourse,” she said with a kind smile on her face.I walked out to the balcony, and welcomed the cool evening air as it hit my face.As soon as I stepped out, Salome scoffed loudly and Lucas shot her a stern look. “I know what this is about,” I said without any preamble.“Do you?” Salome asked sharply.“Willow is just my friend,” I said, as I desperately tried to keep my voice calm. “She is a good person. You should give her a chance to show you that.”Salome shook her head. “I am not doubting if she is a good person, Andre. Inf
