No, Elias is not lying, there isn't more to it than what was told.
I trust and believe Elias with all my heart, he's...my mate.
A light pulls my attention, and I find it to be the totem.
Again, it glows, but, it's light spreads to nothing.
The light becomes incredibly bright, that I have no choice but to shut my eyes.
When it dies down, I open my lids, and with great expectance aching in my heart, I feel a weight lift off of me when I find my expectancy delivered.
"Elias." I say, almost a sob in my voice.
"Abigail." He says with a smile that does all but break my heart.
I rush him in an embrace, wanting to never let go.
"I'm... I'm sorry Elias, I didn't know..."
"Stop it." He says with a soft voice, which does a fije job of alleviating my guilt. "None of what happened was your fault."
I stifle a sniffle, then I let go of Elias.
