35. Not like others
“I’m fine, really.” Ethan says
He’s lying on the sofa, arm wrapped in a bandage and
changed out of the blood drenched clothes into loose,
frilly dress shirt and trousers.
The worst of his injuries have already been treated by
a witch who’s staying here on the Alpha’s Supreme’s
instructions.
“For the last time,” I give him a look “How did this
happen?”
Ethan drags a hand down his face “Another team tried
to ambush us.”
I nod, feeling absurd that I’m not surprised. Well, what
can I say? Anything is possible in this bloody game.
“We barely overpowered them,” Tyler shakes his head
“Reaching the check point must’ve been perfect timing
then,” Luke eyes Ethan’s bandaged arm
Ethan huffs out a laugh, either ignoring Luke’s ruthless
gaze or not caring about it “A miracle, really.”
“Not so much when you have to dress like a lunatic.”
Tyler tugs at his clothes moodily
My eyes stay on Ethan, worry tugs at my heart. He’s
always been so good to me, I cant help but feel my
heart soften for him.
Unthinking, I gently put my hand on his arm “Does it
still hurt?”
Ethan’s eyes slide to mine, he smiles his usual polite
smile “You offend me. I’m an Alpha, Elise. I can handle
a little pain.”
He stole my line. I smile.
“Alright then,” I stand up and fix my clothes “Time for
me to explore this place. See you later?”
“I look forward to it,” Ethan nods
Something warm closes around my hand, causing
tingles to spread over my skin. My head snaps to Luke
as he puts my hand in the crook of his arm.
“I’m coming with you,” he says
I try to stop my heart from beating so fast. It doesn’t
slow down, the darn thing!
“Okay,” I say, breathless for some reason
What the hell, Elise?! Get a grip! There must be a
reason behind this, something related to the Hunt.
Maybe Luke wants to see if its safe?
Luke guides me out of the sitting room and through
the wide hallways, the high walls adorned with
portraits and coats of arms.
“Where are we going?” I ask “And how do you even
know where' to go?”
“While you were busy dressing up, I took a round of
this tower.” Luke says as we go down the stairs “It’s
secure for the time being, at least.” Don't forget to leave a Comment
