CHAPTER 32: PURITY HURT HERSELF ADRIAN:Elena and I were walking down the gravel path toward the garage, ready to head out for Alpha Karl’s birthday dinner. Elena was walking right beside me, looking absolutely breathtaking in that midnight-black silk dress, and for a split second, I forgot about the revenge, or my mission to steal their Black Quartz Mine. I actually felt a surge of pride knowing she was going to be on my arm tonight.We hadn't even reached the SUVs when the heavy front doors of the mansion flew open behind us."Alpha Adrian! Alpha, come quick!"I stopped dead in my tracks, my hand still holding Elena's. I turned around to see Anna running down the steps, her face completely pale, screaming at the top of her lungs. She looked totally hysterical, her breath coming in ragged gasps as she sprinted toward us.My brows pulled together into a deep frown. "Anna, calm down. What the hell is wrong with you?""It’s Purity!" Anna cried, tears streaming down her face as she reac

CHAPTER 34: AND WHAT IF I SAY NO?ELENA:To be completely honest, I wasn't really surprised when Adrian said they weren't going for the birthday dinner anymore. Not even a little bit. The second Anna had come screaming about the blood, I already knew what time it was. That had been the exact and only reason Purity hurt herself in the first place. Purity couldn't stand the thought of Adrian and I going out on a fancy date while she was left behind. To her, it was a sign that Adrian was gradually accepting me as her mate and she was gonna lose out.And she wasn't going to let that happen. But It was pathetic, really. She could actually go as far as cutting her own wrist, risking her literal life for something so insignificant as a dinner party just to get some attention.I climbed the grand stairs with my head held high, keeping my face blank until I got into my room and closed the door behind me. The silence of the room felt like I was ostracized, and the exhaustion finally hit me. I t

CHAPTER 36: WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?ELENA:Early the next morning, I got out of bed early and prepared for my new task. I washed up, got dressed and went downstairs where Clement was already waiting for me in the garage. He drove me to the pack clinic and by the time he dropped me off and I walked into the clinic, the sun was barely up, casting long, cold shadows through the hospital windows. I found Purity’s room in the private wing and pushed the door open. She was awake in her hospital bed, propped up slightly by a mountain of white pillows, looking a bit pale but completely alert.I closed the door behind me, stepping closer to the bed, and looked down at her. "How are you doing?" I asked, keeping my voice totally neutral.Purity looked up, giving me a weary nod. "I'm getting better. Thanks, Elena. Honestly, I thought I could be discharged today, but Adrian insisted I stay three more days to make sure no complications arose from the blood loss."I gave a tight nod. "That’

CHAPTER 38: LET ME ASK YOU ONE THINGADRIAN:Elena didn't stop when I called out to her. She didn't even turn her head to look at me. She just kept marching forward, her heels clicking against the linoleum, her back straight as an arrow.I knew she was pissed. She didn't want to come here in the first place until I threatened to tie to a pole outside while it rained. She had looked so horrified when she heard me say that, like I had just passed a death sentence to her. And without further hesitation, she had agreed to come to the clinic and watch Purity.I sighed as I increased my pace and it didn't take me more than ten seconds to close the distance. I reached out, my hand clamping firmly onto her shoulder, and forced her to halt. She spun around, her eyes flashing with a storm of fury that actually made my wolf back down for a second."Don't you ever forget the rules, Elena," I growled, my voice low and menacing. "You are not to ever ignore me or show me this kind of disrespect."Sh

CHAPTER 40: WHY WERE YOU SO DESPERATE TO ESCAPE?ELENA:“Bruce, I think I saw something.”The moment I heard that statement, my heart sank to the bottom of my stomach. Through a tiny hole, I saw one of the scouts, a tall guy with a nasty scar across his brow, stop dead in his tracks just a few feet from my hiding spot. "My pulse went wild, thumping so hard against my ribs I was afraid it was audible. I didn't move a muscle. I squeezed myself deeper into the dark, rotten hollow of the log, pulling my knees tight against my chest and burying my face in the dirt. I could smell the damp earth and the musky scent of decay, and I prayed to the goddess that the thick layer of ivy covering the opening would mask my scent.They were so close. I could hear their heavy boots crunching on the dry leaves, their breathing heavy and rhythmic. They were whispering, scanning the area. I held my breath, letting my lungs burn, forcing my body to become as still as a statue. If they found me, it was ove
