Gabriela
My blood is practically boiling as I traipse down the hall, my mind spinning from Elijah's words.
Even now, I can't deny the draw I feel to him in his presence, but despite that deep, twisting feeling, I know it isn't the same as it once was.
Memories flash in my brain of that fateful night. The night this bond snapped into place, the night Elijah first came to me. The night he took me over and over again.
That night, it had all seemed endless, perfect. Like nothing and no one could touch us.
How wrong I'd been.
"Gabriela..." Raya's voice pulls me from my thoughts, and I stop dead in my tracks.
I look up, seeing her familiar face, and the pain comes back. All of it.
I barely open my mouth before she is in front of me, pulling me into her arms.
"Raya..." I mean to speak so
