Chapter 45: Elias For An Hour

Before me stands Elias, and without any coherent or congruent thought, I rush him in a hug.

And I squeeze so tight, I fear he'd break apart.

Had he not been built like metal.

I finally force myself to let go, and I pour out my heart.

"Elias, what are you doing here? Darius is just upstairs, he could be back at any minute."

He smiles, and stares at me.

"What did I ever do to deserve such a beautiful mate."

I pause, and flush.

Then I shake my head.

"Elias, this isn't a joking matter, Darius..."

"Follow me." He places his hand on mine, and pulls me off the counter.

I don't know what is going on, but, I don't want to question it.

I follow him through the crowd of dancing wolves, till we reach a different flight of stairs, located on the right of the hall this time.

We head up, and he keeps oace with me, not running up too fast or too slow.
