Chapter 137 : The Silver Eyed Wolf

*Lena*

Elaine took a few steps forward, her jaw flexing as she swallowed.

“Lena, you and I need to talk–”

“Obviously!” I nearly shouted, rounding the table.

I passed Alma, who was standing in the doorway to the kitchen with two plates of chocolate cake, looking more annoyed than confused.

Gideon rose to his feet, glancing at Xander before he motioned for Alma to retreat into the kitchen.

Ianthe gave me a tight-lipped smile as she sidestepped around me and left the room, leaving Elaine and me alone.

Except for Xander, of course, who was standing on the other side of the dining room table looking just as shocked as I was.

“Elaine,” I breathed, my initial shock ebbing away into outright confusion. “What happened?”

Elaine sighed deeply, running her fingers along the top of the couch as she walked toward us. I noticed the faded bruising along her jaw, and the scar along the bridge of her nose as she came into the light of the chandelier above her head.

“I don’t know how to explain what happened to me,” she said, glancing from me to Xander.

“You need to try,” Xander said flatly, righting the chair he’d knocked over in his haste to stand up.

I sat in one of the armchairs, keeping my eyes focused on Elaine, unblinking.

“I heard the two of you met Andromeda,” she said in a whisper, her eyes sparkling with understanding. “I just missed you there. I’d just left–”

“Elaine,” Xander exhaled, tapping his fingers on the dining room table. “What happened? We need to know everything, from the beginning.

“You’re my friend’s twin–”

“I didn’t know about my sister until the war,” she breathed with a pained expression as she sat on the couch, running her hands over her jeans. “I didn’t know. I thought…. It sounds crazy, but I can’t remember a time I wasn’t in Crimson Creek. I was just here one day, and all of these memories I thought I had… of a family, of parents–” She tapered off, shaking her head.

She revealed a pale pink mark in the crook of her elbow, something that looked like a half moon scar. “I was born with it. It’s a witch’s mark. I am a shifter by blood, but somewhere in my family’s line is a witch who passed her powers down, but not everyone has it. Abigail,” she said, tears in her eyes, “she didn’t have it.
