Chapter 0063
Silver's POV
By the time I returned home, I was a hallow mess. I had no idea what just happened. I couldn't believe that Elliot hung up on me after he yelled at me for taking advantage of him. Tears burned in my eyes, and I wrapped my arms around my body like I was desperately trying to hold myself together.
What was wrong with me?
How could I let things go so far last night? I should have known better than to have sex with him. Then again, he made it difficult to resist. He was in so much control, I would never be able to say no to him and his Alpha power.
Just when I thought we were going to be okay, the rug was ripped out from under my feet.
"Luna," Beta Leo said later in the evening as he walked into the front parlor. "A notice came for you."
I frowned and took it from him. It was addressed to both me and Elliot. I ripped open the sealing and uncovered the letter within the paper.
My mouth nearly fell open at the invitation on the paper. My heart leaped into my throat. Could this be real? Because of my success at the Pandora Bloom auction, I was invited to interview on the Merida Ryder show. That was only one of the most famous talk shows in the world; it was broadcast worldwide and only the most famous people were allowed to interview with her.
I've heard in the past that Elliot has interviewed with her, though I have never seen it before. The letter was addressed to both Elliot and me; Merida wanted us both to be on the show?
My heart slowly fell deep into my stomach, and I could feel my smile falter as I thought about it.
"Luna, is everything okay?" Beta Leo asked. I completely forgot that he was right there, and I jumped at the sound of his voice.
I turned to look at him and forced a smile in his direction, nodding slowly.
"Yeah," I lied. "I just need to make a call."
He looked unsure, but he nodded and stepped away to give me privacy. I grabbed my phone and immediately called Rebecca. She would know what to do.
"Hey, girl," she said immediately. "What's up?"
"I have a problem," I started to say right away.
She went quiet for a moment.
"What's going on?" she asked.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
"Well, I have an interview with Merida Ryder on her talk show," I started to explain. I was cut off by Rebeca's shrieking. I pulled the phone away from my ear when she started shrieking and I sighed. I should have known Rebecca would react that way; she was a huge fan of Merida Ryder.
Taking in a deep breath I said, "I'm not finished, Rebecca."
"Sorry, but this is huge. Why would say that's a problem? It's a huge honor, Silver!! Is it because of the auction? I knew you would wow them! Take that, Stella!"
I rolled my eyes, but I couldn't help the smile on my lips. She was right; this was a huge honor.
"That's not the problem," I told her, lowering my tone. "The problem is she wants me to attend the interview with Elliot."
Rebecca was quiet for a moment before she said, "So? I thought things were going well for you and Elliot."
I sighed.
"They are," I told her. "Or at least they were..."
I could practically hear her frown on the other end of the phone.
"They were?" She finally asked, catching onto what I was saying. "They aren't anymore?"
I shook my head, but then remembered she couldn't see me. I closed my eyes and sat on the nearby couch. I was so drained and confused after the events today, that I wasn't even sure how to explain what had happened with Elliot. I wasn't even sure what had happened to him. Leo was somewhere in this palace and I'm sure he probably found out what he was drugged with by now. I made a mental note to ask him about it later.
"What exactly happened, Silver? Rebecca asked after it was clear I wasn't going to say anything more.
"Something kind of happened last night," I confessed. She waited patiently for me to continue. "He went to an Alpha meeting at the Water Grove Hotel and Restaurant, and he was drugged."
She sucked in a sharp breath immediately.
"What?" She gasped.
"Yeah," I told her. "Beta Leo called me to have me help out so I went there, and we brought him to a hotel thinking it would be better than dragging him all the way home. Once I got him there, he was kind of all over me. Like he couldn't get enough of me..."
