Chapter 4 Chapter 4

Eliana's Point of View

“How dare you take that from your sister? You are a disgrace,” My father screamed

“I am so sorry, Father. I didn’t mean to drink the last of the juice. I was just thirsty,” I cried as my dad whipped my back with a belt over and over again. I could feel the blood dripping down my back

“You think you deserve to drink any of the juice? You don’t. Not after the way you killed your mother. I won't let you hurt my precious daughter. You are nothing but a freak,” My dad screamed

“I am sorry.”

“You should be. You know what. I think you need to spend some time in the basement,” My dad said

“No, please, father. I am sorry. I promise I won’t do it again,” I cried as my dad dragged me to the basement.

“You will stay here for two days. This will teach you about being greedy,” My dad said, and he opened the door and threw me down the stairs

“No!” I looked around and saw that I was in my room. It was just a nightmare. I could feel the sweat all over me.

"It was just a dream," I said to myself, and then I got up and went to my bathroom. After that, I decided to get some water from the kitchen. I left my room and headed down to the kitchen. I went to the cabinet to get a cup, and I jumped in shock when I heard someone speak

“Looking for something?” I turned around to see a tall guy standing there.

“Oh, I was looking for a cup,” I said

“They are in the cabinet to your left.”

“I looked in the cabinet to get a glass cup, but I couldn’t reach it. I tried to get on my tippy toes, but it was still too high. Suddenly, I felt someone's presence behind me. I looked over to see that he was standing so close to me.

That was when I realized he was very handsome. He had short blond hair and ocean blue eyes. He wasn’t wearing a shirt, so I could see how muscular he was. He was the most handsome man I had ever seen in my life

“Do you like what you see?” I looked up into his eyes to see that he had a smirk on his face. I was sure I was as red as a tomato. He had caught me checking him out. That was so embarrassing

“What? No,” I said, and he chuckled before reaching up and getting a glass out of the cabinet. “Here you go.” I took the glass from him without a word and filled it with water.

“A thank you would be nice. I did do you a favor, you know.”

“I didn’t ask you to, but thank you, I guess,” I replied. I looked up to see that he was staring into my eyes. I was sure he thought I looked like a freak, just like everyone else thought

“Go ahead and ask me what you want to ask,” I said

“What do you think I am going to ask you?” He asked as he stared into my eyes

“If I am wearing contacts and highlights. No, I am not. Yes, my eyes are purple, and my hair is black with purple highlights. No, I don’t know why I was born this way,” I said

“I wasn’t going to ask you that, but thanks for the information,” he replied. We were just staring at each other. For some reason, I couldn’t look away. It was like I was in a trance. It seemed like he couldn’t look away either.

“Killian,” I heard Ashley say, taking me out of my trance

“Oh, there you are. I was wondering where you went. Oh, you met Eliana.”

So he was Killian the Alpha Prince. I moved back a little so that I wasn’t that close to him. His eyes stayed on mine

“Yes, I did,” Prince Killian said

“Well, if you would excuse me. I am going to go back to my room,” I said, and I turned to leave

“It’s nice to meet you, Eliana,” Prince Killian said. The way he said my name caused a chill to go through me.

“You too,” I replied, and then I left. When I got to my room, I took a deep breath. For some reason, my heart was pounding fast. I knew it was because of Prince Killian. Why did I let him get to me? It had to be because he was hot. I had heard about how hot he was, but I didn't know he was that hot. I had never seen a guy as good looking as him and his body.... I shook my head. I knew I shouldn't be thinking about him like that. He had a thing with Ashley and a lot of other females. He was a Playboy. Even if he wasn't, there was no way he would look my way. I was not his type.

As I lay in bed I couldn't stop thinking about Prince Killian. He was so handsome and he had the most beautiful ocean blue eyes I had ever seen. Shivers went through my body when he looked at me. It made me upset that I let him affect me that way. I knew I needed to get it together.

I tried to go to sleep but I knew sleep wasn't coming anytime soon. Not with my nightmares and Prince Killian's face in my head.

I tried to get those things out of my head by thinking about school starting in the morning. That was one thing I was excited and also a little afraid of. I was happy that I was finally at Enchanted Academy. I honestly never thought I would ever be able to go there. Hopefully everything would go well. I wondered if Prince Killian was going to be in my class

"Oh, why did my thoughts go to him?" I asked myself

I needed to get it together...
