The beta's

Elijah 

Most nights I stare at the sky and wonder how my life would have turned out if I was human.

Tonight is one of those nights.

My alpha is AWOL.

There is a vampire in the pack.

A rival that I have no clue about.

Most times, I always have an idea of what is going on.

Gabriel has kept me in the dark and all I carry is confusion.

Leo--the man he told me to bring home is also in the main house. He is here and I don't know why.

A knock on my door gets me out of my thoughts. Olivia walks in without waiting for a reply.

Are you still brooding, Elijah?" Olivia asks, her voice carrying a hint of amusement. She's one of the few people who can walk into my private quarters without an invitation, and I don't mind. We've known each other for years, and she's become a trusted confidante.

I lean back in my chair, my eyes never leaving the night sky beyond my window. "Just thinking, Liv."
