Elena's pov The day was indeed a stressful one, the last student had just left the classroom after the loud ring of the bell above the class door, and I finally let myself breathe. My desk was a mess, and my feet ached in my shoes. Another nine-hour day. Another stack of bills is waiting for me at home. But at least I got my pay today, will quickly cash it out on my way home.I slipped into the restroom, did a touch up on my sweaty face. Then dash out to make a withdrawal. Bank notes, Coins, it was a small money that made me feel rich because they were mine. My chest rose and fell with an exhausted type of satisfaction. People liked to whisper that I was just a criminal's daughter, a charity case accepted at Lycan Academy. But those gossips did not yield anything. I did that. I worked my ass for this. My sweat.As I folded the money into my worn-out wallet, I thought of Marcus. The thought always came unsought, growing warm in my chest even when I tried to put it out. Marcus Blackt

She was beautiful in a quiet, inaccessible way, but I could smell the starvation she tried so hard to bury.And last night, she let me have a taste of her.The remembrance hit me with the force of a punch, her soft gasp when I kissed her, the way she clawed at me like she had been starving her whole life, the fire that broke free when her cautious disguise broke.
