Ours (II)

Elena's POV:

Dean straightened, watching me with a lazy smirk that only made my skin crawl more. "There she is," he said softly, his tone almost admiring. "The little wolf who's captured our heart."

I shook my head, my voice shaky but defiant. "I'm not yours. I'm Kane's."

His smirk widened. "Sweetheart, you still don't get it, do you? I am Kane. Just the parts he's too afraid to embrace."

"You're nothing like him," I shot back, my voice firm despite the terror pounding in my chest.

"Oh, but I am," he said, tilting his head as if considering me. "We share the same soul, the same memories, the same instincts. The only difference is I don't shackle myself to those silly little notions of morality."

His words were calculated, each one designed to unsettle me.

I glared at him, my pulse racing. "Get the hell off me!" I snarled, struggling against his grip.
