تسجيل الدخولBrielle POV.That hit a nerve. Renee let out a furious yelp and lunged forward, clearly intending to claw at Heza's face. But before she could make contact, a firm hand clamped down on Renee's shoulder, stopping her mid-lunge."Renee," a calm, clear voice cut through the commotion, instantly silencing the crowd and freezing everyone in place. "That is enough."I looked up, my heart leaping into my throat. Standing there, impossibly, was Elvie. Her posture was regal, her expression composed, but her eyes held a steely glint as she held Renee firmly. She was dressed impeccably, as always, radiating an air of undeniable authority that commanded attention. Behind her, her own guards stood at attention.Renee visibly flinched, her anger deflating under Elvie's steady gaze. "E
Brielle POV."Are you sure you don't need another one, Brielle?" Heza asked, holding up a bright pink glitter pen. "This one matches your notebook perfectly!"I chuckled, shaking my head. "Heza, I think I have enough pens to last me until graduation. And I'm pretty sure Elion would disown me if I came home with any more glitter."We were at the mall, enjoying a much-needed break from the quiet of the pack house and the heavy thoughts of last night. School was starting soon, and we needed to stock up on supplies. It felt good to just be normal teenagers for a bit, laughing and browsing through colorful stationery.We finally made our way to the checkout counter, a basket full of notebooks, highlighters, and a ridiculously cute cat-shaped stapler that Heza insisted I neede
Elion POV.The morning sun was harsh, but nothing compared to the heat radiating off my body as I stood in the center of the training grounds. The air was thick with tension, and every pack member present knew better than to make a sound."Again," I ordered, my voice like grinding stones.Kael was on his hands and knees, sweat dripping from his forehead, his breathing ragged. He had already run fifty laps around the territory perimeter at dawn, and now he was doing push-ups until his arms shook. But he didn't stop. He didn't complain. He didn't even ask for mercy.Good.He knew he deserved this. He knew he had failed. He had let an Alpha touch what was under his protection. He had been weak when he needed to be strong.
Brielle POV."Hmm… why were you at the restaurant tonight? You didn’t tell me you were going there."A slow, cunning sneer curled at the corner of his lips. His eyes glinted with a mixture of amusement and possessiveness as he shifted in his seat, crossing his arms over his chest."Please," he said, his voice low and sharp, dripping with meaning. "Do you really think I could have stayed cooped up in that big empty house while you were out there, having dinner with my own Beta? Do you think I would just sit and wait, wondering who you were with, what you were doing, or if someone else was looking at you like you were something they could take?"He leaned closer, his gaze burning into mine."I couldn’t do it.
Brielle POV.Hahaha!The sound filled the car, light and musical, completely contrasting the heavy tension in the air. I covered my mouth with my hand, but I couldn't stop.Elion froze. He blinked, his rant cutting off mid-sentence. He turned his head slowly to look at me, his expression shifting from murderous rage to pure confusion, and then to utter disbelief."You... you are laughing?" he asked, his voice still rough but now laced with shock. "Brielle! This is not funny! I am serious! He disrespected you! He disrespected me!""I know, I know..." I giggled, wiping a tear of amusement from the corner of my eye. "But you... you look so cute when you are jealous like this."
Brielle POVThe sound of my voice seemed to snap him out of his bloodlust slightly. He looked down at me, his expression softening instantly, his hands coming up to hold me tightly against him, as if he was afraid I would vanish if he let go."Alright," he murmured, his voice rough but gentle. "We're leaving. Right now."Elion didn't say another word. He pulled me close, his arm wrapping firmly around my waist, and led me out of the restaurant. Every eye in the room followed us, terrified whispers following in our wake, but Elion didn't care. He walked with his head high, radiating power, daring anyone to stop us.But just before we reached the exit, Kael stepped forward, blocking our path slightly, his face twisted in a mixture of anger, shame, and heartbreak.
