---- Gritting his teeth, his elongated canines sank into his lip, blood dripping, his body trembling, hugging himself
on the ground, resisting the shift with all his strength, even if it tore him apart.
"m normal.
Im an elemental.
My mother is an elemental.
| cant be that monster.
Im the Duke...
Im normal," he repeated to himself over and over, over and over, for what felt like an eternity.
Eventually, he managed to suppress the surge of adrenaline and the primal call that had been triggered by the
raw excitement of being next to Rossella.
Elliot squeezed his eyes shut.
He had to stay away from her, just like before.
Could Rossella have something to do with witchcraft? Was she casting something dark on him, enchanting him?
Her father had carried that enchanted pendant.
Elliot had even thought of blackmailing him back by exposing him, but he had far more to lose.
That man had told him he would anonymously send the proof to the palace inspectorthat he had an accomplice

The recording showed his transformation back into a human.
His face was unmistakable.
Finally, he pushed himself up, filthy, drenched in sweat, his body still aching from the aftershocksbut more in
control.
The crisis had passed.
He started walking back, a little lost.
He had run like a lunatic.
---- The moonlight barely pierced through the forest canopy, casting eerie shadows.
A rustling sound up ahead, like footsteps on dried leaves, made him halt cautiously.
Could it be a wild animal? He wondered, ducking behind a bush, trying to stay silent.
His eyes locked onto the dark path between the trees.
The whispers had stopped.
He stayed on high alert, but in the next instant, someone grabbed his shoulder from behindfirmly.
Elliot reacted instantly, throwing himself forward, crashing through the underbrush, rolling into the clearing,
ready to face his attacker.
His pupils narrowed instinctively to see better in the darkness, but his sharp nose quickly told him it was
someone familiar.
Relax, Mr.
Elliot.
Its me, a deep voice cfrom the shadows as Aldos solid figure emerged.
He raised his hands, showing there was no threat, but Elliot sensed another presence and shifted his focus to the
mans back.
Oh, Icwith a friend.
Tomas, cout already.
Theres no danger.
Its the man staying at my house, Aldo called back, and another man, smaller in stature, appeared, watching
Elliot cautiously.
What are you doing out here at this hour? he questioned.
T could ask you the sthing, dont you think? the Duke responded coolly.

Cant you see the state hes in? He probably sprinted through the forest, isnt that right? Aldo raised a brow,
making an insinuation.
Once again, Elliot gave a vague answer.
Well, if he didnt want to mingle with others of his kind, no one could force him.
Still, there was something about this man that commanded respect.
In the hierarchy of their kind, Elliot saw himself as superior, and Aldo was an Alpha.
Aldo suspected he was standing before a lycan.
Tm heading back to the house then...
You can cwith us if youd like.
Were going to check on scrop matters, Aldo suddenly offered, strangely unguarded for someone usually so
cautious.
Aldo, no! | told you this was serious! Why are you inviting him? Tomas protested.
