Chapter 32
Elias didn't come around and I didn't know if I was upset or grateful about that. I got to meet the other
children I missed last time. It was dark before Elias came to get me. I said goodbye to the kids before I
left with Elias. We were both quiet the whole way back. Neither of us said anything until I was back in
my room. I stood next to my bed and crossed my arms. I knew he wasn't going to leave without saying Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
something first.
"I don't like it when you walk away from me," he said, breaking the silence.
"Then don't piss me off," I said, crossing my arms again. I sighed and stood. "I'm going to bed so you
can leave now," I said quietly.
"Don't be upset with me, please. My wolf doesn't like it," he said. I scoffed and rolled my eyes.
"You're so bipolar! One minute you're giving orders and the next, you're... I don't know. You know how I
feel about Kendra and my feelings towards her are validated. Why would you keep her around after
everything? You know how I feel about her," I asked, irritated.
"Nova..." Elias started.
"You know what, goodnight Elias," I said turning away from him.
"Goodnight, Novalyn," he sighed and left, closing the door behind him. Great, he used my whole name.
I sighed and tried to push away my feelings of hurt and betrayal. I hated this. I hated fighting with him. I
changed and got in the bed. I shut my eyes tight and prayed for sleep.

The next morning, Elias was already gone when I woke up. Darius took his place. I clicked mindlessly
through the TV channels in the living room. Minnie came down and joined me after a while. I only
sighed and leaned my hand against my head. Darius went to get something to eat, leaving me with
Minnie.
"Don't take it personally," Minnie tried to comfort me. I only rolled my eyes and ran my hand through my
copper red hair.
"How could I not?" I muttered. Of course, she heard me anyway.
"What's this; girl's day?" Kendra asked, coming into the living room.
"Hardly," I sneered at her. She ignored me and turned her attention to Minnie.
"Are we still on for later?" she asked. Minnie stood.
"Oh shoot, I forgot to tell the babysitter. I'll be right back," Minnie said. And now I was alone with the
devil herself.
"Luna," she sneered at me.
"What is your problem? Besides not being able to keep your legs closed," I asked her sarcastically as I
stood to face her. She was taller than me, but I wasn't going to let her intimidate me.
"My problem is you. Everything was fine until you showed up and ruined it. The only reason he cares
about you is because you're his mate. If you weren't, he would be with me," she glared at me. I smirked
back at her.
"But I am his mate... so where does that leave you?" I asked rhetorically.
"Apparently, still in his bed," she smirked back.
"I want you gone," I glared at her.
"Likewise," she smirked before she attacked me. At the moment, it didn't register to me that she was a
werewolf as well until she overpowered me. She tackled me to the ground and punched me in the face.
I tried to push her off of me but it was no use. Her supernaturally long and sharp nails extended and
scratched over my shoulder and collarbone as her other nails aimed for my throat.
"Luna!" Darius said as Kendra was pulled off of me. I felt the blood pooling out of my wounds as I just
laid there. My eye began to throb and swell. "Luna, are you okay?" Darius asked. I released a breath
before I closed my eyes.
"I'll go get the pack doctor," Darius said in a panic.
"No... Don't bother. If she wants him, she can have him. I won't be a problem anymore," I said
defeatedly. I heard a whimpering before a wolf licked my hand. I guess Darius shifted into his wolf.
Maybe this would make things easier for Elias if I just disappeared. I relaxed and didn't fight
unconsciousness when it came for me.
