Elena POV “She’s waking up.” I heard a voice say just as I forced open my eyelids. They felt heavy, like they had been glued shut, and I blinked multiple times to regain focus. When my eyesight finally cleared, it was to find three unlikely faces peering down at me, identical expressions of worry on all of them. “Wh-What’s going on?” I asked, my voice coming out scratchy like sandpaper on glass. My head throbbed painfully as if someone had taken a hammer to it, knocked every part loose and then hurriedly glued it back on, not caring if a few pieces were missing. “Where am I?” “How do you feel?” A voice asked as someone helped me sit up. “Like I’m about to die.” I said, holding my hand to my head as I turned to thank them only to find golden eyes staring intensely at me. Draven. Why was he here? I glanced around the room, taking care not to move too much. My head wasn’t the only thing aching. Even my body felt like it had just been wrung through a washing machine a few th

Elena POV I’d barely closed my eyes for up to two seconds when I suddenly heard heavy thumps pounding on my door. I mumbled angrily under my breath as I threw off my blanket and got up. What was so urgent that it couldn’t wait till morning? I pulled the door open with a frown, but my temper cooled immediately I saw the person standing at the door. “Lucas.” My voice trembled as I held onto the door. “Did something happen? To Carter and Sophia?” “No, Luna, the alpha and Luna of Wind Borne pack are fine, that’s not why I’m here.” He replied. I stifled a yawn, relieved. “Why are you here then?” “Alpha is waiting for you at the training grounds Luna.” He said. “Waiting for me?” I repeated confused and looked at my wrist. It was bare. My old, worn and battered leather watch had been taken away along with the clothes I’d been dressed in when I first got here. “Draven said I start at 5am tomorrow, I haven’t even gotten to sleep yet…” I paused in the middle of my outburst. “What? W

Elena POV I looked around the room full of council members, warriors and Poppy. She had been allowed to attend the marking ceremony on account of being my personal maid. The witch doctor circled a bowl that I strongly suspected was full of alcohol round Draven’s head and mine. Then she dropped the bowl between us and asked us to wipe each other’s hands. Draven did mine first. He held my hands tenderly as if he was afraid I would break and wiped them with the small piece of cloth he’d gotten from the witch doctor. When he was done, I wiped his too, wiping one at a time. Once we finished, the witch doctor took the bowl and disposed of the alcohol within it. Then she brought out a thick red cord from a small makeshift bag tied around her waist and bound our hands tightly with it, a long trail of red cord on the ground connecting us. She pulled on it a few times to check it was secure. “It’s time now Alpha.” She said solemnly and I felt my heart beat in anticipation. This was it, th

Elena POV “I think she’s trying to speak French.” Another muttered, turning to his companion. “Angelo, you’re French aren’t you? Can you understand what she’s saying?” Angelo, a pale man with spiky hair that seemed like it could poke out eyes, looked at me as if he had a bitter taste in his mouth. “What she’s saying isn’t French. Even our dogs speak better French.” The whole room laughed, they laughed at me as I stood there, suddenly feeling too small in my beautiful blue dress. It was a mistake to come here. I should have known. No one would be that nice to me for no reason. I’ve seen it multiple times, it’s happened to me several times and yet I keep falling for it. Stupid, stupid Elena. When will you learn? I must have stood there for an eternity before someone finally spoke above their cruel laughter. “Perhaps you could show us your power Luna?” I thought I heard pity in their voice but I must be wrong. Pity had no place in this crowd of hungry jackals and hyenas

Elena POV “Tell me?” He asked softly, his eyes searching mine. “I can’t help you if I don’t know what’s wrong.” “You can’t help.” I wanted to scream at him. All the while, I’d thought I was playing along to his game, that whenever he decided he was done with me, I could easily leave without looking back. But the only person I’d been fooling, was myself. Only myself. “Elena.” He groaned, his voice sounding like it was miles away. “Talk to me.” I had scorned my mother for waiting so long for a mate that never came back but I realized something in that moment that scared me a lot. I would wait too. If it was Draven I was waiting for. I would wait a thousand, no ten thousand nights if I could. As long as I had breath in my lungs, I would wait. I wouldn’t have a choice in the matter. The hope that he would come back would be the only thing that kept me breathing. I would wither away without even that to hold on to. For the first time in a long time, I grieved for my mother a
