Morning came , Ceasar was the first up. Timothy got up and walked to the fridge.

" morning " , " morning " , " I am really sorry about yesterday,  I hope you're not still mad at Eli " , " it's okay, but next time just tell me before hand " , " noted " Peter walked in.

Timothy gave him water they sat down " we should go " , " you're not still angry are you? " Ceasar asked , " no let's just go " Peter voiced sulking.

Denise walked in " morning " , " Morning " , " feel better? " , " mhhh thanks for yesterday " , " don't mention it " she looked at Peter he was still distant.

As soon  as Elina walked in Ceasar jumped up , Timothy looked back noticing her eyes red.

Ceasar walked to her and turned her around so the others won't see , " uhmm Nise let's give them a minute " Timothy voiced pulling Denise out.

Elina was shaking, Peter looked at Ceasar,  I'll give you two privacy he walked out.

Ceasar lifted her up pressing her body on his and tilted his head " fed " , she did as told her body relaxed and he put her down.

" you can't be like this at the festival " , " I know " , " I'll take care of it but you need to teach your wolf to stop craving " , " okay " he cupped her cheeks.

" I am not mad,  this is to protect you,  if anyone sees you like that you'll be called a wilder and you'll be killed , but I won't let that happen.

You believe in me right? " , she nodded " yes " , he kissed her forehead and hugged her.

" we should leave , we didn't inform anyone where we were going I'll see you this afternoon " she nodded.

They shared one last kiss and then walked out " see you guys this afternoon " Ceasar voiced , they all nodded.

Peter didn't even say goodbye he just walked off , Denise sighed and hugged her legs.

" he's really angry " , " didn't you talk to him? " , " I tried but I ended up shouting at him " , " why? " , " he's calm too calm even when he's angry his calm , it annoyed me I wanted him to shout at me atleast then , I could apologize and I'd know how he feels ".

" you could've still apologized , just because someone doesn't raise they voice at you don't mean they don't know how to express they feelings.

You saw it in his face when he pulled you out,  you saw it when you walked in the kitchen right now,  you saw it now before he left the man is clearly sulking.

I am glad you have someone who loves and respects you softly,  maybe tell him why you need someone to shout ,or be loud about they feelings for you to understand them.

He'll understand,  you need someone to ground you and he will , and I'll get to see my sister being loved correctly ".

" you think he loves me? " , " I bet he cuddled you up all night didn't he? " She nodded , " if that isn't love then what is?.

He was still angry at you but made sure you're still okay , if he wanted he could've just slept on the couch and let you suffer the bond backlash ".

" I just wish he can talk to me " , " why don't you talk to him? Make him understand you and let him teach you how to understand him ".

" he seems like someone who was born with a silver spoon , he said no matter how angry he was at me he'd never raise his voice at me.

I don't think , I can compare " , Timothy lifted her up.

" the Goddess would've never blessed him with you if he thought you couldn't,  if you're so insecure even without trying,  do you want to end up like me then? ".

" brother " , " I am okay really,  the rejection doesn't hurt anymore,  what I am trying to say is , Peter is doing everything right he wants you in his life he just needs you to open up to him so he understands how to love you better " they hugged.

Elina looked at the direction where the guys left , she knew they were still around listening to the conversation.

She cleared her throat,  " we should go " , " okay " they walked back in made the beds cleaned up then returned home.

Elina didn't sneak into the house she walked in by the front , for the first time she was seen by guards , maids and gardner.

She greeted and walked inside , " Lina " Lucia voiced relief brushing over her " morning " taken by surprise she didn't know what to answer.

" uhmm do you want to join us for breakfast? " , " sure " she walked to the dining area and Lucia smiled following her.

" Morning " she said and sat down taking both her father and sister by surprise.

" you now sleep out ? " , " I am sorry , I should've informed you , Timothy wasn't doing so well so I ended up sleeping over , it won't happen again " she voiced not looking at her father.

Collins was surprised at the change of her behavior,  " good Lucia was worried she hardly slept " , " I am sorry to have worried you Lucia " she blurted out taking them by surprise.

They ate " so have you considered Ceasar's proposal? " Collins asked , " I can't share my partner with another , I'll have to find his mate before he does " , " and do what? " ,Elina asked.

" obviously send her away , I won't share Ceasar with no one else " , " but he isn't yours to claim but his mate , isn't it unfair that you get to have him but not her? " She asked not looking at her fuming sister.

" I am the Alpha female,  I will not share my husband with anyone " , " what if I am his mate? " , " what? " She looked at Elia.

" what if I am Ceasar's mate? What then? " , Elia kept quiet.

Elina looked at her father , " Ceasar is my Mate, I know you know what I am and why I am different.

I won't ask for much but I'd like you to stop " she got up.

" thank you for breakfast Lucia it was lovely " as she was about to walk away Elia held her hand putting pressure on it.

" Ceasar is mine you will not take aw..." , " he was never yours " she placed her hand ontop of hers squeezing it " you've taken enough from me and I am tired of letting you have your way.

From today onwards,  I will not live in your shadow and will claim what is mine " Elia screamed in pain her hand red.

Elina let her go " Elina , you will be going away today , you need to be nicer to your sister , stop this at once ".

" father look at me " Collins not once raised his head , " you've never looked at me not once since her passing,  I thought its because you hated me but I know now you just hate that I am the only reminder you have of mother ".

" Lina  sweetheart it's not like t..." Collins put a hand on Lucia's stopping her from saying anything further.

Elina looked between them and walked away , there was clearly more and Lucia knew it too.
