LOGIN~Elvira~That meant he would attend this party, he would walk through the doors of this very Packmansion, stand side-by-side with his Alpha. He would be here. The man who had ruined my life.My breath hitched in my throat. I have to hide, I can't let him see me, not until I was ready to face him for my revenge. He had to pay for Carson. He had to pay for my mum’s death. But not yet. Not when I was still just a trainee now."When is the event taking place?" I asked Aria, my voice sounded tight and strained."What event?" Uncle Silas asked, walking back over to our side of the counter, wiping a bead of sweat from his forehead."The annual pack events," Aria replied, looking up at him.Uncle Silas looked at me, his dark eyes calculating. "In three weeks' time."Three weeks.I nodded slowly, my panic receded, replaced by determination, I will be done with my warrior training by then. The final competition was next week. If I succeeded, if I passed the trials, I would have officiall
~Elvira~ "Elvira!" Uncle Silas called as he wiped his hands on his white apron and immediately grabbed a ceramic plate. "Sit, sit! child."I didn't argue. He practically dragged me to a stool at the island counter, sliding a mountain of eggs, bacon, and toasted bread in front of me before I even had time to fully sit down."Thank you," I mumbled around my first bite, groaning at how good it tasted.Aria abandoned her herbs and leaned against the counter opposite me, her eyes gleaming with a mixture of concern and curiosity. "So," she began, dropping her voice to a whisper. "Are we going to talk about what happened last night?"I paused, chewing slowly. "What do you mean?""The whole pack is whispering, Elvira," Aria said, her eyes wide. "The guards said the Alpha lost his mind. They're saying he lost control of his wolf because he thought you were gone. People are starting to realize that it seems there is way more to your relationship than anyone thought."I kept my eyes glue
~Elvira~I paced my room as the memory of Gabriel's harsh voice kept ringing through my mind, my chest was heaving as if I had just run ten miles through the Silverblade woods. My blood was boiling. I clenched my fist tighter trying to hold back my anger, the way he had just treated me…looking at me with those cold, distant eyes after almost ripping the packhouse apart because he thought I was in danger, made my head spin. He had poured his heart out to me, bared his deepest traumas, and yet, the second I stepped out of line, he shoved me away like I was nothing more than a rogue trespasser."Shit, I feel so hot," I muttered to the empty room, wiping a bead of sweat from my forehead. The anger I was feeling was burning me up from the inside out. "I just need to chill. Just for a second."The moment the words left my lips, the heat in the body vanished, it was like it had been sucked out of me, my breath caught in my throat as a shiver ripped down my spine. The hairs on my arms s
~Gabriel~ I tore out of the security building, bathed in rage. I ran through the hallways of the pack mansion. Pack members threw themselves against the walls when they saw me, they covered their necks and bowed their heads. I ignored them all. I didn't care about looking like a rational leader. I only cared about finding the dark road outside. I only cared about the emptiness in my chest and my concern about Elvira. I reached the entrance, guarded by two elite warriors. They dropped to their knees the second I stepped into the light. "Open the doors," my voice came out as a snarl, "Alpha, Beta Cole ordered a lockdown.." one guard started to say, his hands visibly shaking. I lunged forward, grabbed table resting in the wall, hurled it at the wall in anger. The wood exploded into splinters, I stood watching the wreckage, my chest heaving. The wolf inside me was thrashing, desperate to break out fully and tear the forest apart until we found her. I was losin
~Gabriel~ The moment the sun dipped below the tree line, an unease settled deep in my chest. Bane was restless… I stood by the window in my office, watching the dark shadows stretch across the training grounds. The packhouse was usually loud at this hour, filled with the sounds of returning patrols and dinner preparations. But all I could focus on was the deafening silence in my own mind. I couldn't feel Elvira like I normally do since after her attack. After her near death experience I made sure to be conscious of her presence in my mind at all times. Earlier this evening, I had walked past the kitchen expecting to see her sitting there with her friends. When she wasn't there, I checked the training fields. Empty. I asked the guards at the west wing. Where is she? Bane growled, pacing violently in the back of my mind. His claws scraped against my mental walls, making my head pound. ‘Her scent is fading from the borders. Find her!’ I dragged a hand down my face, tr
~Elvira~ After a full day's training with warrior trainees the next day, my body finally gave out. I woke up with fire in my joints. Every muscle in my arms and legs screamed in protest when I tried to sit up. The adrenaline and zeal of the past few days was gone, leaving behind a deep aching fatigue. I had to tell Rhys after training that our evening session would be cancelled, I couldn't even throw a single punch if my life depended on it. After a quick shower when I got home I dragged myself down to the kitchen, hoping for quiet time and food, anything at this point that can rebuild my energy. I found Lisa sitting at the table, Silas was just busy moving around preparing for night dinner for the pack members who lived in the pack Mansion. “Hey I greeted Lisa, “What are you doing here?” I asked her as I looked around. She was just sitting alone watching the kitchen staff run around as Silas barked at the junior cooks. "You look terrible," Lisa chimed, offering a
~Elvira ~ Gabriel walked in, his presence immediately pulling the oxygen from the room. He looked impeccable, but there was a darkness under his eyes that hadn’t been there yesterday. Behind him was Cole, his Beta and best friend, who was busy checking something on a digital tablet. Gabrie
~ Elvira~ I was bored in my room, i wanted to watch the stars or get some fresh air so I slipped out, going through the door that separated the Alpha’s wing from the main gallery. The pack house was completely quiet, except for the low hum of the heating vents, i headed toward the balcony at th
~Elvira Sefa’s eyes flickered toward the door as the shadow of the guard passed across the glass windows. My heart pulse fastened, and I could feel the heat in my blood starting to react to the danger. If he called them in, I would not be able to explain why a servant was having a private se
~Elvira~ The rest of the morning passed by quickly. Every time I moved my wrist, I expected to hear the wooden beads shatter. I kept my hand in the cold dishwater as much as possible, trying to numb the heat that was pulsing steadily from my skin. By the time Silas dismissed me, my nerves wer
