BLAKE

Two weeks had passed, and I hadn’t seen Elena yet. I hated this feeling so much. Lucian went home this weekend, and I disliked he was going to meet her. It was already Sunday afternoon, and he wasn’t even back yet.

All the crap I did to him. Taking Ariana away when he loved her was a low blow. It wasn’t even like that for me. I just needed to find out what she was afraid of. The thought about claiming me shouldn’t even have crossed her mind.

“Really, carry on as if nothing happened. That is your advice,” I spoke to Dad over the hologram as Lucian entered the room with his bag in his hand. My heart settled.

“Blake, the Ancients are afraid.”

“Dad, you were there, for crying out loud.” I spat through clenched teeth.

“We are back in Paegeia, Son. You can turn anytime into the Rubicon.”

“It’s horse-shit,” I said and disconnected the call, chucking my Cammy on the bed and grunted. I rubbed my face hard.

“You changed,” Lucian said.

My gaze flickered to him, and I squinted. “Changed? What makes you fucking say that?”

Lucian’s chuckle escaped through his lips.

“Fucking assholes,” I mumbled.

“She sunk her claws deep into you.”

I huffed. “More pathetic. She doesn’t have claws. You didn’t see her?”

“No, I did. I kept wondering how on earth she’s going to tame you? She looks like she is going to run away any second.”

I laughed. “Yeah, she has that damsel in distress attached to her.”

Lucian’s lips spread as I pulled my hands through my hair. “She mentioned me?”

“Your name has come up.” He opened his bag. My gut flipped at that. “But I got a feeling she didn’t want to speak about you.”

I sighed.

“What happened?”

“She didn’t tell you?”

“Nope, the reason I have a feeling.” He took out clean pressed clothes and put it back in his closet.

“She is angry at me. Which I can’t stand.”

“She is pretty.”

My eyes flickered to him, and I glared at him.

He laughed. “Really? You think I’ll do that to you. I should, but I won’t. For me there are plenty of fishes out there, but I’m afraid that is your whale.”

“She is what she is,” I muttered.

“So what happened?”

“Paegeia happened, that’s what. She hates me because I lied to her. The worst part is that I tried to tell her and then her father interrupted. She is so the opposite of me though.”

He chuckled.

“Is she okay?”

“Yeah, she is struggling with the concept of dragons. Refused to call them what they are. She keeps speaking about beasties.”

“Oh, fuck.”

He laughed. “Don’t worry, we’ll get her there.”

“No, no. You are sitting this one out.” The fear of Elena falling for Lucian turned my gut into many knots. I didn’t like that. It put me on edge and I was already on edge.

“Blake, you are going to need my help. I know you the best.”

I closed my eyes. “I swear if she is going to fall for you, Lu—”

“Relax, she won’t. I got a feeling her heart already belongs to you, she just needs to process.
