Chapter 23: A penny For Your Dream

Elena's POV:

I had no choice but to scoot as far as possible from the window, sliding over to the opposite end of the seat just to keep some distance from the annoyingly smug alpha who, according to the moon goddess, was somehow my mate. Him? Really? What was she thinking?!

I focused my gaze out the window, watching my entire life—my home, my pack, my family—slowly disappear as we drove further away.

But then there was movement on the seat beside me. Curiosity won out, so I glanced over… and nearly stopped breathing.

Kane had moved closer. Like, way closer. That infuriatingly handsome face, with that perfectly messy hair and those piercing eyes, was now only inches away. My heart lurched, and my body decided it was time for a complete betrayal, hormones kicking into overdrive. His hand landed gently on my thigh, and I swear, it was like his touch set off an electric pulse through my entire body.
