Chapter Sixteen Julian's POV - My heart hammered against my rib cage at the sight before me , the rogue almost sinking his fangs into Elara's wolf . I jumped right in front of her , unnoticed by the rogue ; my claws dug into its stomach . The rogue let out a deafening cry , his golden fleck of eyes travelling down to Elara behind me as he sprinted , the blood trailing out of him . " Don't chase " . Elara's tiny voice whispered , my gaze darted towards her tear - stricken face . She must have had a shock . I hadn't realized I was growling , my wolf was just on the surface to shift and chase The wage of war between me and the rogue ended so faster than I planned and that was because he had grown weak after taking it all on Damian . It took me every ounce of my self - consciousness to not touch her and carry her to the clinic . Her shoulder is dripping with blood , but her wolf is doing a great job healing her I looked at the cranny of my eyes as she took a slow step toward Damian , who was sitting on the floor , his hands reaching out to Elara . I never had the plan to approach her until I noticed the sudden change in Elara . She stood up with tears rolling down her cheeks , a part of me wanted to clean up the tears in her eyes . Spotting Damian's h hands in midair , he clenched his fist as he made his way to us . We still have a long way to go . As much as he is still present , I will continue to use him to my advantage in changing situations and winning favours . " A smirk crept onto my lips while getting myself to charge and feigned pretence . I interrupted the little interaction between ' Elara and Damian . " I didn't have him saved to flaunt his incomplete victory . " I said between my gritted teeth as a string pulled in me as I saw them exchanging unsaid words impregnated with emotions . " Are you hurt ? How are you feeling ? " Hope you aren't feeling any pain ? " , I narrowed my eyes , my stained palm grazing all over her body to check if she's hurt anywhere else . " I am fine " , her weak voice set a relief in my heart and I heaved a low sigh Not giving it a second thought , I stretched out my toned arms still stained with the rogue blood , placing my ideas on trial , awaiting which Elara would go for " If my theory is right , she will go with me … I thought . The silence built up between us , Silence filled with doubt and curiosity , Damian demeanour evident in hope and anticipation while I wore my calm demeanour , my lips curled into a snarl I noticed Clara's hesitation , but what's the fun if I withdrew my hand I was about to dissolve the eerie silence when I felt a lender , toned fragile skin rapidly slipping into my palm . My snarl morphed into a sly smile , my countenance conspicuous by the impact of the excitement earned from Damian's disappointing and murderous looks " You look okay now , your wolf did a lot of great work healing your wounds " You can go and relax to heal fast and recover " , Igned concern as I emphasized my last words in a sarcastic tone before trailing behind Clara , who had left us on the spot I left Damian's jaws hung in the air , his muscles twitched and indisputably I +25 BONUS " I love this ! " 1 hinted while clucking my tongue into my inner cheeks . " How are you feeling now though ? " " Are you asking because you felt those worries of earlier weren't genuine ? " Elara retorted in a tone slightly laced with a burning rage you accept it nevertheless ? " I countered , wearing my neutral smile She halted her pace , mischievously licking her gaze at me , too intense to sever through my soul , building a sudden silence even at the brink of death , you are still serious , you are e no fun to play with " Let's head to the hospital so you can return to your dorm before an alarm is raised . We will talk tomorrow after your class I declared , averting her gaze to her arms that had some scratches . first Turning away , snubbing my confrontation , we marched to the school clinic where her wound was attended to . Her sudden rise of silence got me worried She had always been engaging except now We were a few minutes to their hostel , where I saw Sabrina wrapped in a shawl , consistently draping her hand over and over across her shoulder , proof of the sudden change in the climate : " You can head back from here and Thanks for …. today ? She asserted , her voice laced with frustration with other emotions I couldn't point out . A knot formed within me as the thought of her growing so intense and attracted to Damian might have a huge effect on my plan Sabrina who had her gazed affixed on the opposite side of the road with the notion that she would be coming from there . Gently tapping her on the shoulder , nudging her to take her leave already . " Huhnm She said without countering my words , so unlike her , she lost control over her reaction . I left immediately after seeing Sabrina burst out of concern about her . I got a message from Dad , I need the news that might have reached him regarding the rogue . Everything is an opportunity that must not be underestimated by him I decided to stop by the firm to pick up a few things when a chill pain suddenly seeped through me , snapping me to the reality that I had unfinished business with Damian even though the blow wa from Caspian I scramble up , spitting the blood out of my mouth from my cut lips through the impact of the punch . I burst into laughter , Caspian reaction to the whole situation was kinda surprising especially when I knew he would rather stay in his lane than get himself into uncertainty . guess this is from your Alpha ? Sarcasm played in my tone "I will take everything but not this " He stated while showing me a blog on it boldly inscribed Two new lecturers fighting over their student and after that was a picture of mine and Elern when I gently tapped her on the shoulder I smuk mischievously while slightly nodding my head in a back - and - forth position . What makes you think I did this ? " Well , with Damian , it's an honour to me and whoever is involved " I winced in pain when another punch sent a shiver through me , not leaving a great impact as before , though " You seemed so concerned , why are you so bothered ? Is this from Damian - or you . I said in my squatting position , my eyes furrowed scrutinizing and observing every of his move and reaction I clapped my hand , the sound echoing through the lawn , colliding with the sudden silence except for the sound - +25 BONUS footsteps as I paced in a circle . My brow knitted , complimenting my slight smirk , exuding my curious state like someone dedicating his time to select his card . " This has nothing to do with Sabrina so the best explanation here is Are you also entangled in this triangle or . " You're carrying your Alpha's order ? " , I quickened a brow at him .
