Eliana POV Early the next morning, before the sun was fully up, Eliana stood in her small basement room.She looked around at the cold stone walls and the thin mattress. There was almost nothing here that belonged to her. The pack gave her the few worn dresses she wore, and she had no money or valuable things.Her eyes fell on a small wooden box sitting on the table.It was the only thing she truly owned. The former Alpha—Silas's father—had given it to her on her twelfth birthday back when she still lived upstairs. He had handed her a beautiful hairpin with a crest carved into it, telling her it was the only thing left from the parents she could no longer remember.Eliana opened the lid and looked inside. Alongside the hairpin lay a small polished river stone Silas had given her when they were children - long before he became Alpha and rejected her, a picture of herself, Alpha Marcus and Silas, the hairpin the alpha had given to her on her thirteenth birthday and told her it belonged

Valerius POV The car door clicked shut, blocking out the cold morning air of the Moonstone territory.Valerius sat back into the soft leather seat as the engine started up.

Eliana's POV He had taken off his heavy dark coat, wearing only a plain black shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows. He looked big and strong in the small room. In his hand, he carried a wooden tray with a clean white cloth. Steam rose from a teapot and a covered plate.The moment Eliana saw his face, her heart jumped into her throat. The picture of him coming close to kiss her in the dream flashed right in front of her eyes, and her cheeks turned hot all over again.She quickly looked down at the soft blanket, unable to look him in the eye.Valerius stopped near the door, looking at her sitting up in the big bed. He saw how she moved back slightly, her hands holding the blanket tightly, and the red blush spreading over her face and neck.He pulled his eyebrows together a little bit, looking worried.
