Lucas's POV
Suddenly, a female voice called out to me, insistent, slicing through the quiet of the Shadowcrest corridors and the pull in my chest. "Elias! Wait!"
I turned as my eyes landed on Selene, my grip tightening on the sword Alpha Aldric had just given me, as I felt irritated at her sight, against the sudden jolt in my chest. I watched Selene hurrying toward me, her hair bouncing with each determined step. Her eyes fixed on me with an intensity that made my skin prickle. She stopped just short of me, blocking my path, her chest heaving slightly from the effort of catching up.
"You've been avoiding me," she said, her voice low. Yes she's right. I'd been avoiding her. Her brows furrowed, and she crossed her arms, faking an angry face.
