Elyra's POV

I looked out to the parking lot once more, only to find that he was not there.

"Perhaps he went back into the building," I mumbled under my breath but that did not make any sense to me.

I began making my way back to the hall again when I stopped halfway.

Something did not feel right about this. “If he went back to the building then he was supposed to pass here, there is no other entrance.” I mumbled to myself.

I could not put it into words, but there was a weird feeling that was g

  • The second half he gave me    R knows

    Kaelen's POVI looked at the screen for just a moment too long."We need to talk. I know who sent that picture."My heart plummeted into the freezing water under my feet."Kaelen?" Elyra looked at me. "What's wrong?"I locked my phone and stuffed it in my pocket. "Nothing," I told her. "It's just my lawyer, personal business."Another little white lie, added perfectly to the pile of lies I've told before."You sure?" she asked. "You look really pale.""I'm sure," I told her, pulling my backpack off the bench already. "I've got to go now. Thank you for the practice, though.""Kaelen, wait—"I didn't waste a second. I went straight through the doors of the rink without letting her say anything else, leaving her standing there on the ice, possibly wondering for the umpteenth time what I was doing to her all the time. There was no room for thought right now.---I drove the car and waited a moment before taking my other cell phone from the glove box. I swapped the SIM card and called Rona

  • The second half he gave me    Training begins

    Kaelen's POVI arrived at the rink five minutes before six, and Elyra was there waiting for me, sitting on the bench with her skates only partially tied and tablet set up on her bag."You are actually on time for once," she said, without even bothering to look up."I promised that I would be," I stated, putting my bag down next to hers."Furthermore, you promised to stop being a nuisance about it, but guess what?" She motioned for me to sit down. "I have already pulled the videos of your last four matches."I took a seat. She showed me her tablet and clicked play on the footage from the Ashgrove match."Notice this with your stick," she stated, pausing the video at the very moment when I released the shot. "Count how long it takes for the puck to come off the blade of your stick.""Seems to be alright to me.""It is not," she said, scrolling to another video with the same type of shot. It became quite evident after she put them side by side. I was faster back then."Okay, I must admit

  • The second half he gave me    The curse reveal

    Kaelen's POVI pulled the chair out from the corner of the room and sat myself down beside the bed, but at a bit of a distance. I didn't grab his hand or try to comfort him. Instead, I just waited for him to give me an explanation as to why he'd wanted me."What haven't you told me?" I questioned.My father moved around in the bed, grimacing slightly at his actions. "There's one thing that I left out of my tale regarding the curse," he spoke. "That is, one thing that I left out of your telling due to shame.""Shame about what?"He took a deep breath before continuing. "The curse doesn't only affect the heart of the wolf," he started to speak. "There is something else about the curse that few people who possess this bloodline ever get the chance to experience, let alone live through.""Cut to the chase," I said."If the individual bearing the curse establishes a genuine, reciprocal mating bond prior to the curse taking complete hold of him," he said, "the bond will slow the progress of

  • The second half he gave me    Alaric’s breakdown

    Elyra's POV"Mom, slow down," I said. "What's going on?"Seraphine was crying so hard into the phone that I could hardly understand what she was saying. "Alaric," she cried. "He had a break down. A really bad one, Elyra. It's like he never had one before. He is in the hospital now. He is critical."Suddenly the phone felt heavier and a knot formed in my stomach. "What do you mean 'critical'?""I don't know," she sobbed. "They took him back an hour ago, and I don't know anything. Please, would you come? I don't want to be here by myself.""I'll be there as soon as I can," I told her. "I'm on my way now.""Thank you," she cried, through her tears on the other line. "Thank you, baby."I hung up the phone and turned around to look at Kaelen. He watched me closely from his spot against the wall.“What’s up?” he asked.“It’s your dad,” I said. “Something happened. A really bad thing. He’s in the hospital; his condition is serious. And my mother is there and she needs me.”Kaelen paled immed

  • The second half he gave me    Study session

    Elyra's pov Kaelen took his seat opposite me, but he didn't say anything regarding the presence of Bram."Bram goes to our chemistry class as well," I said, filling the silence with something to talk about. "He wants to study together with us since we all have the same lessons to prepare for the exam.""Sure thing," Kaelen said, even though he clearly wasn't agreeing with his words. He took his notebook out of his bag without even glancing at any of us.Bram leaned back in his seat and fidgeted with his pen. "Thought I better come along, since the captain of the girls' team is kind enough to let me share her notes.""I never said I would share my notes," I said."You definitely will," Bram said with a grin on his face. "You are just too nice not to."I gave him an annoyed look and opened my notebook to the relevant chapter.Until the first twenty minutes or so, we were actually getting something done. We went through the notes concerning the rate of chemical reactions, quizzing each

  • The second half he gave me    The envelope

    Kaelen's pov I stood there on the porch for a moment, holding the envelope, looking around.There wasn't anyone on the driveway. The street behind it was peaceful – there were no cars parked where they didn't belong, there were no people taking their dogs out for a walk, there was nobody standing near the tree pretending that they weren't watching me. There was just the porch light buzzing above me and the envelope in my hands.I entered the house, threw my bag next to the door, took a seat at the kitchen table and only then opened it.There was just one photograph inside, it was printed on regular paper, not glossy, as though someone rushed to print it on the home printer.It was me and Elyra. We were sitting together during the party. The angle was from across the room; the picture was definitely taken without our knowledge. And without having to think about it, I knew exactly when it happened – it was right before Bram approached us and Elyra laughed at my comment about her shot p
