Eliàn;
I kiss my teeth again as images of last night flood my mind.
My hands are in my pockets and my gaze on my feet as Alana and I stroll.
"Are you alright, Master Elian?" She suddenly questions, and I come back to earth.
"Huh?" I reply, and she looks at me with worry in her eyes.
"That sound… It's the seventh time you've made it in the past two minutes." She replies, and I realise she's talking about me kissing my teeth.
"Oh… It's… just an old habit." I lie, and she eyes me suspiciously before turning away from me.
"If… you don't mind me asking, how did things go between you and Alpha Zephan last night?" She questions, and I pause. My legs stop dead in their tracks.
"Please don't… let's… can we not talk about any of the Alphas today?" I reply, and I see worry flash across her face for just a few seconds, before she forces a smile.
"Sure." She says, and we continue our walk in silence.
