My Fated Alpha's Cruel Game (Elena and Marcus) novel Chapter 60

Chapter 60: Chapter 60 First Day Dynamics

Elena’s POV

"Hi." She said softly.

"Fun night?" I asked with a grin, unable to hide my amusement.

"Yeah. I guess you could say that." She replied, her voice carrying a hint of satisfaction.

"Well, I suppose that’s what matters most, right?" I pressed, genuinely curious about her evening.

"I suppose so. I’ll catch up with you later." She said, making her way down the stairs toward the residential section of the territory.

I simply shook my head and took another sip of my coffee, watching her retreating figure with mild interest.

When the time came to leave for school, Gage emerged from the house, his expression determined in a way that immediately put me on guard.

"Where exactly are you planning to go?" I asked, noting the car keys dangling from his fingers.

"I’m driving you to school." He stated matter-of-factly.

"What? That’s completely unnecessary. I’m perfectly capable of walking there myself. I know exactly where it is." I protested, not wanting to feel like a burden.

"I’m well aware of that fact. And it’s admirable that you want to maintain your independence. However, it would take you over an hour to walk that distance, and you can’t shift in your current condition. So we’re taking the car." He said firmly, leaving no room for argument.

Realizing that resistance would be futile, I followed him down the stairs. We climbed into his sleek red sports car, and he expertly maneuvered us away from the territory before turning onto another road that ran parallel to the border.

The drive continued for several more minutes until we finally pulled up outside an impressive campus that looked more like an elite university than a typical school.

"I’ll be here to collect you when classes are finished." He announced.

"Gage, that’s really not necessary. I can manage the walk back on my own. I’m not helpless." I insisted, trying to maintain some semblance of independence.

"Fine. But make absolutely certain that Damien understands you declined my offer of transportation." He said with a knowing look.

"I will definitely make sure he’s fully informed of that decision." I replied, understanding the underlying message.

When I stepped inside the campus grounds, I was genuinely taken aback by what I encountered. The exterior had been impressive enough, appearing both glamorous and expensive, but the interior resembled something straight out of an elite human Ivy League institution.

Everything was crafted from rich, dark mahogany, with intricate wolf sculptures adorning the ends of the banisters that led up the grand staircases. Elaborate wood carvings depicting various wolf scenes decorated nearly every available surface, creating an atmosphere that was both sophisticated and distinctly supernatural.

"Elena." Someone called out cheerfully. I turned around to find Leo approaching me, one of the guys Chloe had introduced me to during my earlier visit.
