Chapter 35

For the next five minutes we are silent by the fireplace as we take our first shot, the alcohol burning as it goes down.

"So, I heard about the dinner party and the drama that followed...quite the story," Elijah begins as I nod, knowing with where this is going Im going to need another shot. I pour myself another and take it quickly, Elijah amused by all of this. He's lucky he's not a piece of the drama. "How the King put Alpha Steve in the dungeons and will be trailed tomorrow. So weird, how he cares so much for your rejection."

"Believe me, I don't understand it either," I comment, getting to my feet as Elijah leans back in his seat. "He's just so confusing. Besides, now the issue of my parent's death is thrust into all of this and both of them say something else. Hell, Steven told me two different sides of how they died!"

Elijah takes my small outburst as the time to pour me another shot, only this time making the glass full. "Sounds miserable."
