ELIANA. Beneath the canvas of the night sky, Denver’s chest was lightly bathed in an ethereal silvery glow. We laid side by side with my head upon his chest and my fingers circling around the tattoos on his skin.With an arm around my shoulders which fell down my back, Denver pulled me closer to him as if the space wasn’t non-existent between us again. I wasn’t complaining, like I said I wanted nothing more than to remain in his arms. Forever.As his distinct raspberry cologne trickled up my nose, the memories from a few hours earlier came flooding back to me. Denver looked down and an innocent smile curled my lips to hide the carnal thoughts sweeping through my head.“Nothing” I whispered in a light sing-song voice but Denver narrowed his eyes. His hands briskly waved across his face. “Is there something on my face? Is it an insect?” He sat up dramatically and I couldn’t help but burst out into laughter. “I said nothing, relax” I whimmed.“Why are you looking at me then?” He chuckle

ELIANA.I stepped outside onto the balcony, sauntering towards the railings, on which I placed my arms upon. I fixed my eyes into the night sky, wondering how fast the day went by. The news of Denver and I's engagement had already spread around town and we spent the evening having a large feast with his Pack and mine.It was one of the very few times when we weren't thinking about anything really. Most of us were just in the moment, enjoying ourselves.Me especially.Throughout the whole day, I had tried my best to not give a single thought to Jaxon or Sienna or being a Hybrid. I was only human today but then night fell and my thoughts returned back to my head. I couldn't escape them this time so I excused myself from the table to go outside.Here I was, standing with my gaze falling over the Pack grounds. I heaved a deep breath through my lips, taking a sip of the wine in my hands and it was then the doors opened behind me. A part of me instantly thought it was Denver who probably wo

ELIANA.The winds coursed through my hair as I dug my feet into the ground. Strands danced across my face and a stint of anxiety pounded my heart. I folded my hands in a fist, looking ahead at the crowd that had gathered.Every single Pack member, both the Blood Hounds and the members of the Black Mountain Pack were gathered in the massive arena. A ground of about a hundred square feet that was built for only days like this—days of the Alpha Battle. It had only happened once before, my Great Grandfather they told me. He was brave enough to challenge the Skywalkers. Hitler-like Alphas that once ruled the Blood Hounds and that fight that day, even though it was centuries ago was meant to secure the Jacob’s right to the throne and crown. But today, Jaxon had challenged for that rite. Not only that, he had challenged me to a fight. And so here I was.If you asked me how we got here from last night, I’m not sure I’ll be able to tell you but all that mattered was finally, we were doing t

ELIANA."It's okay" Denver whispered. "You're okay." He said.At that moment, I lifted my gaze to my father who stood amongst the Elders as they crept closer to Jaxon on the ground. Then the verdict thundered throughout the arena.“He’s dead!” They announced to an uproar but my heart fell in my stomach. I looked at Denver. “Jaxon is dead” The realization hit me like a wave as tears welled up in my eyes. “You did it” He whispered to me but as soon as they fell down my cheeks, I shook my head.“I killed him” There was a crack in my voice and Denver arched his brows. “Yes, Eliana. Yes you did” He didn’t make it any easier. Because for some reason, while everyone clamored with victory, it was a strange feeling for me. It was guilt and anger. Still anger.After all this while, I thought seeing him dead would fill me with resolve, that it would be the one thing that would make me finally get over every terrible thing that he did to me but he was dead and still, nothing changed. I burst int

DENVER.The machine came on with a wheezing noise as Ivan tore her shirt open.Her skin was pale and cold and still. And I had never seen Eliana that way in my life. I finally took my hands off her but I was still shaking. "Charged to one hundred" Ivan echoed from his lips, holding the machine with his two hands before he pressed it against her chest.In a second, it sent an electric current throughout her body and she jerked forward roughly before falling back down. I bit into my fingertips, pacing around the room nervously. "Come on, Eliana. Come on" I kept repeating beneath my breath as he placed the machine again."One-fifty" He charged it and you could hear the current fill it up. "Two hundred" "Three hundred" He kept jerking her forward but still nothing. "Two hundred and fifty, charged" He placed the machine on her chest again and I shook my head with tears in my eyes. "No" I cried. "No, Eliana. Please no" I muttered. She jerked forward again before falling flat.Then Ivan loo
