Chapter 197: The Gift That Never Was
(Elena Blackwood’s POV)
I stood there without moving, waiting for Marcus to approach. His golden eyes held a mixture of concern and something else I couldn’t quite identify.
“Why did you come out?” he asked, his voice carrying that familiar Alpha authority even in his weakened
state.
I blinked in surprise. “How did you know where I was?”
Marcus’s gaze fell on my phone, and understanding dawned on me immediately. Of course he would have tracking methods.
“You installed a tracking app,” I stated rather than asked.
He didn’t deny it. His attention shifted to the Moonstone Shopping Bag I carried, curiosity flickering in his
expression.
“What’s in the bag?” he asked directly.
I quickly snatched it away, holding it protectively against my chest. “It’s not for you.”
His eyebrows rose slightly at my defensive reaction. His focus zeroed in on the small box visible through the
bag’s opening.
“Who is it for then?” he pressed, his tone carrying a hint of something that almost sounded like jealousy.
“It’s a gift for my foster brother Adrian Whitmore,” I replied, watching his expression carefully.
Marcus’s jaw tightened almost imperceptibly. “Does your brother even need gifts from you?”
I simply wanted to give it,” I retorted, my voice sharper than intended. “Is that a problem?”
A shadow of regret crossed his features. “I’ve never received a gift from you.”
The words hung between us like an accusation. My chest tightened with old pain and frustration.
“You told me not to bother again,” I challenged, my voice steady despite the emotions churning inside me.
Marcus looked confused. “When did I say that?”
“The first mating anniversary,” I said quietly. “I gave you a hand knitted scarf. You dismissed it with ‘Don’t waste your effort on such things again.”
His face went pale.
“Since then, I haven’t given you anything.”
Marcus’s chest rose and fell rapidly. “I didn’t know you made it yourself.”
