6. Two Questions
YILEYNA
I quickly turned away, my cheeks burning as I gulped the rest of the coffee down. I felt him move away, so I quickly placed my mug down and stood up, trying not to groan at the ache in my muscles. I slid my arms out of the shirt, holding it firmly as I twisted it around, sliding my arms back in and buttoned it up. I turned back towards him, his arms now spread over the top of the couch as he glared into the fire, his brows creased in concentration.
“Thanks for saving me.” I remarked gratefully, tugging at the sleeves of the shirt and stared down at the ground. I surely must look a sight in these oversize pants and shirt. Now, what do I do?
I sat down on the small couch and pulled my knees up against my chest, feeling exhausted. “You may not have been at their level, but you shouldn’t push yourself to that extent where you cannot even defend yourself, especially somewhere secluded.”
“Hmm, I didn’t think that would happen, I just thought to train… I’m lacking in far more than shifting.” I whispered, very aware of his hand near my head on the back of the couch.
“Are you? Or are you allowing others to dictate that?” He asked, tilting his head as he looked at me, his hair almost glowing a gorgeous copper in the light of the fire from the hearth.
“It’s true though, isn’t it? I’m not strong enough. I’m nearly eighteen, but I haven’t shifted…” I glanced into the flickering flames, frowning. “There’s already talk that I may be stripped of my rank.”
I looked up into his gorgeous eyes waiting for a reaction, anything to tell me what his opinion on that was. He looked away and into the flames for a second before his gaze snapped back to mine.
“Who told you?” He asked, making my stomach sink.
So, he knew. He knew the Alpha wanted to make him Beta, I didn’t know why that hurt as much as it did. What was I expecting? For him to care? For him to come and tell me? “Does it matter?” I replied looking down at my knees, unable to hide the bitterness from my voice. “The Alpha only mentioned it a week or so ago. Nothing is finalised, there’s still time.” Each word was like a punch in the gut. The tears that I had been suppressing seemed to be on the verge of breaking their dam.
Still time…
“If he gives you the title, you will take it, because he is your king.” I said, forcing a smile.
His face remained emotionless as he looked at me. “No one refuses the Alpha.”
Yeah…
I needed to get out of here… I shouldn’t be here, we weren’t friends… just two people who were always by the princess’ side.
“I’m going to head out, thank you.” I whispered, sounding weaker than I was meant to. “Yileyna…”
I stood up, staggering slightly, my legs felt like lead and my entire body was aching from the workout.
“I’m going to head back.” I walked to the door, my eyes on my shoes.
Just like that, the De’Lacor name would vanish.

I gasped almost stumbling, but before I could fall, he slammed me up against the wall. “What are you doing?” I hissed venomously. “Proving my point. You are not leaving this place until you are up to it.” “You can’t keep me here!” “Nikolai and Kyson are out there, are you sure you want to go back in this weather all alone?” “I never knew you cared.” I shot back.
