He spoke softly, and I tried not to shiver. Elijah was a different kind of handsome. While Callahan was all rugged, muscular, and brawny. Elijah gave me the boy next door vibe.

He always made an effort to talk to me, to make me feel comfortable, and made me laugh. I felt I had found a new friend in him. That was a nice start, considering the change of my plans.

Now, I was more keen on finding my wolf and learning how to completely transform without passing out.

Elijah wiped the sauce off my lips but he did not let go of me. His hand kept caressing my face, and I tried hard not to blush.

My eyelids fluttered as the pad of his thumb kept brushing over my skin, making me feel a slight tingle.

“You….you are handsome too, Elijah,” I said, and he came closer to me, standing directly in front of me.

“I have been told so.” He said with a grin, making me chuckle again. I could not remember the last time I had felt so happy and stress free.

Elijah and Drusilla were very nice to me and so were the other maids and servants. I could not form any opinion about Matteo because he was mostly busy with work.

And then there was the Lycan King who felt like a mysterious puzzle to me.

“Hey, where are you lost?” Elijah whispered, and I shook my head.

“Nothing”

I smiled and was about to say something when a sharp voice reached my ears.

“Elijah!!”

I looked behind Elijah to see none other than King Callahan walking towards us. Elijah sprang away from me as if we had been caught doing something scandalous, and I stepped away from him, too.

Callahan was walking towards us with fast strides, and he was exuding both power and annoyance.

“ood morning, King” Elijah bowed to him while I kept staring stupidly at him.

King Callahan did not pay me attention, as his eyes were fixed on his garma. Realizing that I should greet him too, I promptly lowered my head and muttered,

“Good morning, King”

Callahan did not reply to me. Forget replying, he did not even
