“What the fuck happened?!” Elijah stormed inside the room, darting his eyes to Adrian’s before mine.

My hands trembled above my lap. I stared wide-eyed at Adrian not daring to see the look on Elijah nor Veronyka’s face when they saw Adrian on the floor. Groaning in pain.

“What did you do?” Veronyka’s words rang inside my head. Each word was firm as she narrowed her eyes at me.

“I…I’m sorry” I whispered.

“No, you’re not. Look at him!” Veronyka pointed her finger at Adrian who struggled to get up on his feet. Elijah was quick to help him and he managed to get him to stand. However, as soon as he did he shoved Elijah and he stumbled backwards.

My gaze fixed on Adrian’s chest. It was sweating. His breathing slowly increasing its pace, making me feel a twinge of anxiety as I stared at him now. He was gripping his arm while pushing his back hard against the wall. The way he stood in an awkward stance let me know he was rendered a broken knee.

Scrambling out of the bed, I rushed towards where Adrian was and reached my hand out to touch his arm. I flinched back when he abruptly snapped my hands like he’d just slapped a fly that wanted to fet on his face.

He lifted his head, glaring at me with his dark blue eyes. They were a shade darker than Alexander's, and somehow in this moment as I took in his features, I noticed for the first time how different he was from his brother. The murderous look he was giving me. The way his eyes glinted mysteriously as he looked at me. The way his jaw clenched tightly when I advanced a step towards him. All of it seemed to contradict all my first impressions of him the day Alexander took me in this pack.

And for a moment, I thought I’d saw his true colors, right before the corner of his lips arched upwards revealing a sheepish smile.

“Don’t worry about this, I’m okay. I just feel sad…” He mumbled, sighing.

“No you’re not okay, Ian. Let me call the pack doctor for you,” Before Adrian could protest, Veronyka hurriedly rushed towards the door. As soon as she opened the door, she staggered back as three well-muscled men all wearing black leather jackets and black pants stood outside looking like they were just about ready to barge in.

I squinted at the men and one by one, they walked in the room uninvited. It was then that I noticed, they all looked pretty much the same. All having black spiky hair with matching lip piercings on the same spot.

Two maids followed them closely and lowered their heads when they saw Elijah.

“We tried to stop them,” One maid said quickly.

Elijah immediately stepped in front of me, blocking me from the three bulky men who just barged in.

“Who are you and what do you want?” Elijah asked with a firm, yet calm voice.

One of the men peered at me over Elijah’s shoulder, making Elijah let out a low growl.

One of the men then took a step forward before saying, “We are from the Alliance, and we're here for Eleanor Raven of Blue Mountains Pack.”

“Sorry for the intrusion, we just need to ask a few questions concerning the beta.” The man on the left also spoke.

Elijah glanced at me and threw me a meaningful look.

He nodded at the men and said, “Alright. Let’s talk downstairs” The bulky muscled men all exchanged looks before spinning around to the door.

“You go, I’ll stay and wait for the pack doctor with Adrian,” Veronyka says, locking her arm with Adrian’s as she looked over at us.

I saw Elijah smirk mockingly at Veronyka, which earned him a sharp glare.

“So you finally decide to make yourself useful for once, huh?” Elijah grinned at her whilst she rolled her eyes. Before I went downstairs with Elijah I changed into my casual clothes, mindlessly choosing the outfit Alexander picked out for me. As I was in a rush, I didn’t bother looking at the mirror and shoved in every piece of clothing to fit my body.

Without another word, we exited the bed room and sauntered downstairs.

The three men were all sat at the large table in the hall, waiting for us.
