“A lot, but nothing will happen to you, you have my word.”
That irked me off. It was the last I could take. “Stop giving me your word as you clearly suck at keeping it!” I turned around and walked away as my eyes pricked again. These stupid tears.
“Elena, come on!”
“I have to go. Micha is waiting for me. I’ll speak to you later,” I yelled at him without looking back.
Thank heaven he didn’t follow me. I was early in the Parthenon Dome and waited for Micha.
BLAKE
Elena disappeared through the door,and I went back to my room. She looked hot, as her tights hugged a rounder ass and more sculpted legs. She was still pissed off, and didn’t even hug me properly.
Lucian stood by his dresser and gelled his hair. “And?”
“I found her?”
“Why the long face then?”
“She is still upset.” I pulled my hands through my hair. “I think you are right. She does not know that I’m the Rubicon.”
“I told you that. She speaks about the Rubicon all the time but whenever I bring up you, she changes the subject like that.” He snapped his fingers.
My eyebrows knitted. “How can she not know that I’m the Rubicon?”
“You said her father asked you in the beginning—”
“Yeah, but there is the fucking internet. You want to tell me she never searched for the guy inside the Rubicon? She is still not comfortable with the word dragon.”
Lucian laughed. “I told you she calls them beasties.”
“It sounded so wrong the way she spoke about my dragon form.”
“You want me to tell her?”
“No, I’ll find a way. If she can stop running away from me.”
I laughed and told Lucian everything that she said. I almost blew it and told her then but realized fast that she didn’t know that I was the Rubicon. It was good to see her again, but she was furious at the fact that I have so many enemies.
“She’ll get used to it.”
“She is going to hate me even more if she discovers I’m the Rubicon.”
“Hey, worry about that when the time comes.”
I nodded.
We went down for breakfast and Chef heated my plate and handed it to me. I ate in silence until Tabitha plopped down at the table in front of me.
“So she is here?”
“Yes, she’s here. Stay away from her, Tabitha. If you treasure my friendship, you will watch what you say in front of her and to her. Best not to even speak to her at all.”
“It’s so unfair. Five months ago she was a nobody and now she is ruling your entire world.”
“She is what she is to me, so back the hell off.”
