Elara’s POV
“I hate you too!”
The words came out of me so fast before I could pull it back and continue to endure like I always did.
My chest was pounding so hard as tears streamed down my cheeks. I haven't felt such a tight squeeze on my chest as bad and as painful since mum and dad passed away, every breath I took I wished they actually stopped.
“Thank you for saving me today,” I said hoarsely, turning away to leave. But before I could take another step, his hand grip on me so tight…..pulling me back so suddenly that my chest collided hard against his.
That familiar scent, warm, clean, and heartbreakingly peaceful scent wrapped around me, stirring emotions I didn’t want to feel.
“I said don’t touch me, Alric!” I yelled, glaring up at him.
A rumble of thunder split through the sky
