ELIANAWe stepped through the grand entrance, and I felt a rush of nervousness mixed with a dash of trepidation. The building loomed before us, its high ceilings and ornate details a testament to its age and elegance. As we walked in, the sound of murmured conversations and soft music filled the air, creating a sense of anticipation. I glanced around, taking in the sophisticated atmosphere, and couldn't help but wonder what kind of event this was. Axel's presence beside me was reassuring, even with his twist of attitude, but I still felt a thrill of uncertainty. What would we find inside? Who would we meet? And what was the purpose of this mysterious gathering? My curiosity was piqued, my eyes scanning the room for clues. The air was thick with the scent of fine perfume and the soft glow of candelabras cast a warm light over the assembled guests. I felt a sense of being transported to a different world, one where elegance and refinement reigned supreme. As we made our way deeper in

ELIANA"I am not done with you," he said, his voice low and even, without a hint of anger or frustration. Yet, the words themselves carried a sense of finality, a warning that this conversation was far from over. He didn't raise his voice, but the calmness of his tone only made me feel more uneasy. As he spoke, his gaze roamed over me, from head to toe, with an intensity that made my skin prickle. It was as if he was taking stock of every detail about me, every curve and contour, every aspect of my appearance. I felt exposed, like I was standing in front of him without any defenses. The scrutiny was unnerving, and I shifted uncomfortably, trying to break free from his grip. But he held tight, his fingers still wrapped around my arm, a gentle but firm reminder that he wasn't letting me go anywhere. "I want us to talk," he added, his eyes locking onto mine once more. The words were simple, but the way he said them, the way he looked at me, made it clear that this wasn't a request. It w

ELIANAAs I walked out of the restroom, I could sense Gabriel's gaze following me, his eyes lingering on me even though I wasn't looking directly at him. I could almost picture the smug, annoying smile spreading across his face, a familiar and infuriating sight."You spent so much time, I was almost getting worried," Axel said to me as I returned to the event center, his voice tinged with concern.I bit back a smile, hearing that he'd expressed worry about me. Maybe I was reading too much into it, but I couldn't shake the feeling that it meant more than it seemed. The thought lingered.I hated how little words of his made me feel - like a flutter in my chest, a warmth that spread through my veins, and a sense of being seen that I'd never experienced before. It was as if he had this uncanny ability to tap into emotions I thought I'd long buried, emotions I'd never even acknowledged to myself. Those few words, casually spoken, somehow managed to unravel me, leaving me feeling exposed

ELIANA"My mind was racing with possibilities, consumed by the endless what-ifs. What could Vivian be hiding? What did Axel know that I didn't? The more I thought about it, the more my thoughts spiralled out of control. I felt like I was stuck in a maze with no exit, every door I opened leading to more questions. The worst part was the feeling of being in the dark, like I was the only one who didn't know what was going on. It seemed like everyone else was in on some secret, and I was just a pawn in their game. The thought sent a chill down my spine. Was I being manipulated?"He's in a discussion with the elders of the pack," she said, but even I could tell it was a lie. The words sounded rehearsed, lacking the sincerity that would have made them believable. I studied her face, searching for any hint of truth, but her eyes darted around the room, avoiding mine. The look on Axel's face said he wasn't buying it either. His eyes had narrowed, his brow furrowed in skepticism. He seemed to
