Chapter 10 Alexander

• Alexander
• I hold Elena’s hand as I lead her back to the reception area where Lucian and Vaughn are waiting for us, her hand tiny compared to mine. Elena doesn’t say a thing. She stares at the ground and lets me pull her along, her eyes red from the tears she’s obviously holding back. I expected her to fight me when I told her she’s coming home with me, but surprisingly, she followed me obediently.
• Part of me is ashamed of how I treated her. How unreasonable I was, and how very much out of control I felt when I saw her sitting there, that defiant look on her face. She has no idea what she almost got herself into, no matter how much she may have tried to convince herself otherwise.
