Eliose:
I had imagined this moment a hundred different ways…
If Brandon ever found me, I thought it would end with chains. Or a blade. Or a body dragged back to be made an example of.
I never imagined wolves would stand between me and my own kind.
I never imagined that those that I found myself living to kill were the ones who would keep me alive. And not because they wanted to hurt me, no, they were doing it to keep me safe. Genuinely keep me safe.
When the doors shut behind him, the silence felt louder than his voice had been. My pulse was still racing. I could feel it in my throat, in my wrists, in the hollow space beneath my ribs.
He had come for me, and he was going to take me to kill me.
And I had almost believed Marcel called him.
That was the worst part.
For a split seco
