Elias’ pov
I had slept horribly after that kiss with Jade. It wasn’t the kiss that had caused my nightmare, but her words. She said I had caused her great pain. I had felt guilty for years, knowing my dad Brian had died because of me and that so many others had lost their lives when I was taken. Twice. I was only five then. I knew logically that it wasn’t my fault, but deep down the guilt of their death still bothered me at times. My mom had calmed me down as always and when I woke up I went to get some breakfast with my sister and Zoey. Zoey was always early here, her parents needed to do some work in the shop before they opened. I heard Jade come in, but I didn’t know how to act. If she hated me I could just ignore her until she left, but if she actually liked me. Even a tiny bit, I wanted to be with Jade in every way possible. Just one kiss made my knees go weak and I graved more of her. Briana snapped me out of my thoughts and asked me to look at Jade. Jade look

Jade's pov I have no idea why I grabbed Elias' hand. I just saw pure panic on his face and it didn’t matter how much I hated him. I felt pity for Elias in that moment, he looked so scared. The only thing I could think of was grab his hand, it was almost instinctively. Elias didn't need to tell me what caused his panic attack, I wouldn’t share my fears with anyone. I was really surprised when Elias was so open about his past. He barely knew me and had already shared something so vulnerable and personal with me. It was clear that I knew very little about the future King. My grandmother had told me he was responsible for my parents death and that the power that came with being King would corrupt Elias and all the werewolves. My grandmother was afraid the werewolves would end the truce between witches and werewolves. I was protecting both my heritages by stopping Elias from becoming King. When I said 'it will all be over soon', I had meant something different than Elias

Elias’ povThat Lisa really didn’t take no for an answer. I couldn’t even remember what I liked about her in the first place. After I shut the door behind me I took a shower, to calm my nerves. There were other things to worry about. I was realising I had tried to keep some of my memories and fears down, but being around Jade made it all come back. My mom had scheduled another appointment with my childhood doctor, hopefully that would help. Doctor Olivia was not one for beating around the bush, she always saw through my bullshit and knew what to say to me. I was always grateful that my father had found her for me. Some things you shouldn’t deal with alone. Maybe she could help me figure out the best way to deal with Jade as well, cause my approach only seemed to repel her.The next day Zoey was there at breakfast and I shared what had had with Lisa. ‘Okay, she’s crazy. But some of this is your fault, you know you should have broke things off with her much sooner

Elias’ povI didn’t get a chance to talk with Jade all day, I would try to find some time after seeing Doctor Olivia. Her office was near the school, so I drove there. Our session went great. As always Doctor Olivia had some great insights. ‘It’s normal to be triggered more easily when you’re under stress. Just take time for yourself, meditate or work out. Whatever helps you relax. Didn’t you used to love gardening? The next few months will ask a lot of you, not to mention once you become King. You won’t be able to help others if you don’t take care of yourself first’ Olivia said. I had also told the doctor about Jade. ‘She is really sending mixed messages. Perhaps wait until she’s figured out to pursue her further. But remember to keep your boundaries intact, there is no need for her to insult you. You need to surround yourself with people that support you, not try to tear you down’. She was right as always. I hadn’t done any gardening in a while, but I remember how it

Jade’s pov I was almost regretting choosing Liam over Elias. He was an awful tutor, he had no patience, was very arrogant and patronizing. By the end of the afternoon I had learned some werewolf history and more about Elias. I thought everyone loved Elias, but Liam really disliked Elias. Liam was complaining about how he was always in Elias’ shadow even if Liam scored higher on most tests. How he thought Elias would make a bad King, because he needed his mother to save him all the time. ‘Did you know he was kidnapped and almost killed twice? Nobody survives that and comes out normal. He acts so perfect, but I know he goes to therapy. I don’t want a King with mental issues’ Liam said. I laughed ‘okay I don’t like Elias at all. But I disagree. If he had lived the perfect life he would be incapable of the kind of empathy he has now’. Liam rolled his eyes ‘sure you dislike Elias. You’re just like the rest of them’. I sighed ‘let’s agree to disagree. Let’s just

Elias pov So Jade was from the Sage Mountain pack. When you arrive at our pack you get a series of interviews to see if you’re not a threat. I wonder how that part slipped through. I mean she was only four at the time, she didn’t have anything to do with my kidnapping or with my grandmothers betrayal. But I would have liked to know this in advance. The adults at the table were still quiet, while Jade sat there with a stoic look on her face. Did she truly not know how much that pack had cost us? Aah fuck it, if no one else was going to ask I would. ‘Were your parents killed during the attack?’ I asked Jade. My father looked at me with surprise, he was usually the one to ask the questions. ‘My father was killed during the attack, but my mother committed suicide after. I found her in the bathroom’, the last part she said quietly so the kids at the table couldn’t hear. I instantly felt guilty, if it wasn’t for me none of this would have happened. ‘Why did you come here

Jade’s pov I don’t know if I just made the biggest mistake ever, but honestly spending the night with Elias had been one of the best moment of my life. I didn’t have to think about my parents, the coven or my mission. I was just there, in the moment feeling all sorts of pleasure I can’t even describe. I just wanted to pretend for one night and give in, I had to spend my childhood working and doing what my grandmother wanted and I deserved one night off, right? When we took a shower together I was so distracted that I forgot about my tattoo’s. They weren’t actually tattoo’s, but markings made by spells. They were runes, to help me keep focused. One was a binding curse, that was binding me to my grandmother. I had promised to complete my mission in under a month, the rune would light up is she wanted me to contact her. It wouldn’t be a pleasant feeling though, something that added even more pressure. The other were runes for protection, enlightenment, magic and power.

Elias pov It hadn’t been hard avoiding Jade this week, I had been so busy with school and the conference. In the morning I drove myself and Briana to school and after school I did my homework or attended one of the meetings. It always felt like a family reunion seeing the special wolves, but it also brought back a lot of memories for everyone. Today we would talk at the school together for the younger kids, who might not know what happened 12 years ago. Growing up in this pack was great, but it wasn’t a good representation of the world. There were still a lot of places where you had to fit a certain mold to belong, where Omega’s were still treated as less than other wolves and where woman had little to no rights. Being different was celebrated at the Crimson Moon pack, I mean our Luna was a special wolf. But it hadn’t always been like this, when I first got to the Crimson Moon pack there was even a group trying to stop my father from making changes. I was glad Brian

Jade’s pov What kind of propaganda were they telling these kids? They were just lies to make Alpha Axel seem like the best Alpha around instead of the ruthless killer he was. And the way Dawn talked about our old pack my skin crawl. Lenore sounded horrible though, but my father must have had a reason to work with her. Dawn said it had to do with wanting power. If only they knew who was walking amongst them. All that talking about your feelings was nonsense too, I don’t’ talk about my anger or grieve. I use it. I left the auditorium and headed to the city closest to Crimson Moon Pack. I had to buy some last minute ingredients, I didn’t want to wait another 2 weeks for my spell anymore. I would wait until the conference was over and then end this whole charade. My poison hemlock hadn’t grown that tall yet, luckily every part of the plant was poisonous so I would have just enough. I needed to add my blood, this would ensure I was bound to the spell when it would
