Eliane POV
An annoying sound infiltrated my perfectly peaceful sleep. You know the sensation of floating in a very comfortable position in your sleep and then the sound of the alarm ruining the mood. I sat up blinking while searching for my phone to turn off the alarm.
When my hands didn't find it on the nightstand or under my pillow, I looked around the room until I found my bag on the desk. I stood up and dragged my feet toward the bag, It didn't take long to find the phone. I grabbed it and walked to the bathroom.
While I was done doing my business, I tried to unlock the phone but the screen remained black. It took me a couple of seconds to remember that I had turned it off yesterday. Little by little, yesterday's events came back to me clearing my drowsy head.
Maya POVWe resumed our breakfast after checking Eliane's results. I was so proud of her, everything was the result of her own dedication and perseverance. Alex was looking at her with a new light, I guess he just realized how lucky he is to have her as a mate. He can add 'smart' too to the 'beautiful with golden heart' package.I was glad Alex was her mate. He was a nice boy, patient and very sweet to her. I can't wait for her birthday when she's supposed to recognize him as her mate. I'm not sure How it works exactly, Eliane talked about a certain pull and a kind of electricity or was it a shiver when mates touch.I hope it goes well that day. I don't know what are the consequences of accepting him and I don't care as long as she's happy. I know for sure that in the
Eliane POVI looked around me not finding the right words to describe how I felt. The decorated area by the oak tree was beautiful and cozy, everything looked magical. I could tell how much time and effort they spent on decorating this place, they did it for me. Even the swing's ropes were wrapped with Christmas lights.As I sat down on one of the cushions, my eyes took in the decoration of the table. The wildflowers and candles were a perfect touch, they were scattered randomly around the table in small glass bowls. Few floor lanterns were by the tree trunk."Do you like it?" Alexia asked a bit hesitant sitting next to me"I love it!! Thank you" I hugged her and she exhaled relieved by my answer, "Did you do it by yo
Maya POVThe whole graduation party thing was a nice gesture toward Eliane, simple and touching at the same time. I knew she'd like it and appreciate this first experience. After all, it has always been just the two of us. What I didn't expect was Eliane's reaction toward them, she was opening up to them and letting her walls down little by little. I don't think she's even aware of it.I watched her relaxed interaction with the kids. She was leaning slightly toward Alex who never left her side. His eyes were always on her, making sure she was comfortable and didn't need anything. He would hand her water before she could ask him. Alexia, too, was very attentive. At first, it seemed kind of weird how she was taking some notes on her phone but when she mentioned throwing Eliane's birthday party It made sense.
Eliane POVI couldn't sleep, no matter how much I tried I just couldn't. When my mind wasn't replaying today's events, my heart was almost exploding with excitement and anticipation for tomorrow's date. My first date ever, I still can't believe he asked me out. Well, technically I'm the one who asked him first but he's the one in charge of the date. I can't wait to see what he prepared.I had tomorrow's clothes ready. I already washed my hair, moisturized my body and applied a night face mask on. I'll ask Maya to do my hair in the morning, I didn't decide on a hairdo yet but I'm sure she'll help me figure it out.Sometime in the middle of the night, I crept into Maya's bed. She was too tired to notice me at first but soon she wrapped her arm around my waist and pulled
Maya PovI usually don't dwell much on dreams and their meaning, but the one I had last night was a bit depressing. I always knew that my time with Eliane would come to an end sooner or later and I sincerely thought that it's Ok as long as she's happy. But Lately and after meeting Alex, I would occasionally feel sad.Rain's words had a different impact than the one he intended for them. I was not one of them. I knew that much and I never wanted or wished to be part of their pack. I don't even plan to stay here. It's just that now I keep hearing the same exact words said by Eliane's voice and it hurts, it hurts a lot.I was as happy and excited as she was over this date but as she walked away I was reminded of how she walked away from me in my dream. I wandered is every
Eliane POVThe game Alex came up with was kind of funny, it was a reverse version of twenty questions. He gave the answer and I had to figure out the question. When he told me the rules I was so sure that I could win but with every attempt to answer I found out how hard it actually is."Twenty-one" He said smugly and I frowned. It could be anything, his birth date, the number of fights he got into, or the number of girls he dated. The late possibility got me in a bad mood and I unconsciously glared at him, "Wow, no, it has nothing to do with girls" he said putting his hands up in a defense mode, 'was I that easy to read'."How many fights I got into?" I asked knowing very well that I'm wrong."HAHA, almost."He paused for dramatic effect, "It's the number of bones I've broken so far""How was I supposed to know it and why would you keep a record of your broken bones?""Not me, Luc is the one keeping it since he's the
Maya POVAs expected Eric called me at Four Am sharp, requesting a video call. Luckily he gave me time to get my coffee first. I guess he could tell I needed it from the sound of my voice or maybe cause I didn't answer his call the first two times, who knows?Last night, more like few hours ago, I took all my work-related stuff to the living room. I didn't want to risk waking up Eliane this early. After getting my coffee along with some snacks and fruits, I sat down on the floor leaning back on the sofa. I put on my headset and called Eric back."Morning sunshine" His voice was too loud making me flinch"Morning idiot" I adjusted the volume while taking
Eliane POVI stood in front of the open fridge lost in my thoughts. My mind was already a mess from this early morning. Moving around used to feel like an adventure but this, leaving for a couple of weeks feels scary. Like I'm going to miss or lose something important if I leave.But now Maya is on a lunch date with Beta Rain. What does it mean? Are they for real? Is this why she said that we'll definitely come back here when her work is done. If it's the case, I don't even know how I should feel about it. Can I even be happy for her? I hated myself for thinking this way, I have to be happy if she's really seeing him, but still...Suggesting to leave me behind while she's working thousands of miles away and going on a date with Beta Rain felt as if she's moving on with
