Chapter 182: Elena, he’s being mean to me~

(Elena Blackwood’s POV)

She referred to Marcus as cousin, which made me realize that this was the daughter of Victoria Blackwood’s brother. The family connections were becoming clearer now.

I had heard about this branch of the Blackwood family before. Victoria’s brother had mated with someone from a prominent pack in the Southern Territory.

Their daughter would be around Isabella’s age, but clearly had a completely different personality. Where Isabella was calculating and bitter, this girl seemed genuinely warm.

“What’s your name?” I asked, curious about this unexpected ally.

“Lila Lancaster,” she replied with a bright smile. “My father is Victoria Blackwood’s younger brother.” Before I could respond, Lila suddenly grabbed my hand with both of hers. Her enthusiasm was infectious, even if overwhelming.

Marcus noticed Lila holding my hand. He coughed and said sternly, “Lila, don’t be ridiculous.”

Lila immediately hid behind me, acting aggrieved. “Elena, look at him, he’s being mean to me.”

I forced a smile, feeling awkward about being caught in the middle of their family dynamics. “Miss Lancaster, why don’t you stay with your cousin?”

Lila retorted without hesitation, “He doesn’t need me. Where are you going? I’ll go with you.”

I hesitated, searching for an excuse to escape the suffocating atmosphere of the recovery chamber. “I… I’m going to the washroom.”

Lila looked puzzled. “Isn’t there a washroom inside?”

Seeing my hesitation, Lila’s eyes lit up with understanding. “Oh, you’re shy? You’re already a mated pair, what’s there to be shy about?”

Marcus frowned and warned sharply, “Lila.”

Lila pouted like a scolded child. “Yes, yes, yes, I won’t say it anymore!”
