Who?”
“Don’t take me for a fool Alpha Sebastian, how is she feeling now?”
“She is getting better”
“Pleasing to know”
“I heard you wanted to end our relationship”
“You heard right”
“You can’t do that Ellie, you know I love you!”
“Didn’t you also heard, I found my mate?” She raised an eyebrow at him
“I know you never cared about your mate Ellie, you wanted us to be together even though you knew we had a mate out there somewhere”
“My bad, but you stood me up and guessed who came running to my rescue? My mate” She said fisting her hands on the table “Thanks to you I met my mate and we are together now”
“You are not marked yet, Ellie you can’t possibly be thinking of going to him, it shows he does not care about you, Alpha Ezra does not deserve you, he is darkness and you are not”
Helen was getting angry that someone was insulting their mate “Enough Sebastian” Ellie warned
“You know its true Ellie, don’t turn blind eyes to the truth”
“Enough Sebastian!” Ellie yelled banging her hands on the table “I won’t be responsible for my next action if you don’t talking about my mate like that”
“This is not the Ellie I know of, what has he done to you?” Sebastian said standing up
Not to feel intimidated, Ellie stood up too “Good, you don’t know me at all, if you are done talking, you can leave” She pointed to the door
“Really? You are sending me out?” He looked surprised
“I am just tired of dealing with you right now” Ellie said looking at the person she once loved and adored
“I will leave for now but I’ll be back, think this through very well Ellie” He told her, held her gaze for some time before leaving.
Ellie collapsed in her chair while Dora and Loris rushed in, Ellie gave her friends a weak smile, her energy was drained already.
“Are you okay Ellie?” Loris asked
Ellie was tired of hearing that question and lying each time she was asked that question, before she could answer, Lucas entered.
“There is a messenger from the Crimson pack”
“WHAT?” Ellie yelled not believing her ears “From Crimson pack?”
“Yes Alpha” Lucas answered indifferently
“Where is the messenger?”
“In the waiting room with Steven”
“I… will be out” Ellie said
Lucas bowed and left to inform the messenger his Alpha will be out in no time.
“Why is today going this way?” Ellie asked no one in particular
“We are here with you, all the Way” Dora said
Ellie looked at her friends and smiled, she stood up “How do I look?”
“Bold”
“Super awesomely cool” Dora said with a big smile
Ellie smiled “Catch you ladies later” She said and left her office to face the unknown messenger.
“She’s strong for her age” Dora who was two years older than Ellie and Loris said
“You make her look old, we are only 21” Loris reminded Dora who shrugged
“She would need all the strength she can gather for the world unknown out there”
Loris frowned at Dora “You have started, you have that look again”
“What look?”
“You know the look”
“I don’t” Dora faced Loris
“Stop it, aww creepy” Loris made her escape with Dora laughing at her.
Ellie could smell the stranger scent, she knew he has not let his guard down yet, she wondered why her mate sent someone to her, was he pulling out of their deal? Is he rejecting her? “Helen what do you think?” She asked her wolf aloud
“I don’t know, we’ll find out soon enough” Helen replied, her voice a bit unstable
Ellie took a deep calming breath as she entered the waiting room, she was a bit amazed at the person in front of her, he was tall, handsome even with the scowl on his face, well built in the right places, he has a powerful aurora about him. He must be Alpha Ezra Beta or Gemma. When he saw Ellie he bowed a little, a sign of respect.
“Why are you here?” Ellie concluded not to beat around the bush this time
“Alpha Ezra wants you to take your position immediately” He also went straight to his message
“My position?” Ellie was confused
“To be his Luna”
Silence
“Who are you?” She needs to buy some time for hers to recollect her thoughts
“Ryder Toms, Beta of the Crimson pack”
She was right, he was a Beta, now back to the mean business “I need some time”
“I was told to inform you that you don’t need any” Ryder said
Lucas growled and Ryder's nose went up ready for a challenge, Ellie motioned for Lucas to calm down. Ellie walked closer to Ryder “Then tell your Alpha, if he wants me that badly to take my position as his Luna, he should come deliver his message himself if not, I'm not moving an inch from where I am”.
Who could have thought Ottio was from the Gray pack? And to even think that the pack, Alpha Asher pack kidnapped Ella and they were waiting and getting ready for a battle? What was he thinking of? Was the other pack joining force with his pack? Was that why he wanted a battle?“So that was your pack?” Lucas asked Ottio“Yes”“Anf what was your position in the pack before you went rogue?” Emmett asked OttioOttio stared at him while he answered “The former Alpha son” He said“What?” Dora asked “You were the son of Alpha Wills?”“Yes, and Asher is my brother” Ottio said“That is hard to believe, we never heard of you nor see you anywhere around while growing up” Loris said, clearly not believing a word coming from Otti
Ella picked a gown and placed it on her body to see if it would fit her, she dropped it instantly with the killer look Loris was giving to her, no touching of goods that Emmett bought for her.“Do I look like a doctor now?” Loris smiled at Ella playfully“Oh! Come on”“Did you eat something that upset your stomach?”“Not that I can think of” Ella said, looking around the room for something she can eat, the room almost looked bared of food but Ella trust Loris, she must have something somewhere, Ella took a deep breath to fish out the hidden food and her sense of smell led her to the table beside the window and she saw a wrapped package, with the smell Ella knee it was a sandwich, she took it and unwrapped it, she took a bite and swallowed looking at Loris's direction, Loris knew it was helped to fight for her pr
Ella rushed outside and made her way to the yard that was located beside the cells. She met Dora on her way and without word after greetings they made their way to the yard together. Ella hoped nothing was amiss just yet. Ottio was seated in a chair his two hands chained to the chair he was sitting in, his waist were bruised and have different painful colors. He looked around and saw the lady she kidnapped, she saw the witch also, she was standing beside someone he knew to be a Beta who was standing protectively beside her and he got the message already. Mate! He saw Joan that looks like she will passed out anytime she was held back by two other ladies. He looked at Alpha Ezra who looked cruel, the Alpha visited his cell that morning with his mate's phones and play a recorded call for him to identify the caller. But he was silent and did not answer the Alpha's question. It was like they were going to kill him but there numbes was not complete because Alpha Ella was not
Joan sighed and turned to the others to hear from them also “So what do you guys think?” “I don’t really go with the plan of releasing him, I don’t think I can stand being in a room with him, or what do you plan to do with him after releasing him?’ Ella asked “Well, if you guys will accept him, and Alpha Ella will allow, I would love for him to join the pack” Joan said The room went quiet and they all tried to comprehend what Joan just said, it was Tina that reacted first, she hissed, her expression deadly, Joan looked at Ella she looked dumbfounded, Sophia looked shocked, Loris's mouth was still hanging wide opened while Alpha Ellie didn’t look bothered, it was just as she was expecting. “You must be out of your mind!” “Are you crazy?” “What the hell?” Tina, Ella and Sophia reacted the same time, Joan jumped to her feet at alert, in case she needs to make a run for it. “Calm down you lot” Joan yelled to be heard “Okay, I don’t want him dead!” “So you want a rogue to live amon
Ellie leaned closer to him, her face serious as she responded to what he said, she had to really hold herself in to be frank and yet sincere she had just few minutes here with him and she gave other things that needs her attention but she won’t tell him that, she checked her wristwatch then looked up at him. “How do we trust you? You are a rogue that kidnapped members of their pack, treated them badly, having plans of rapping them to produce pubs from them for your small pack” She paused “Why should they forgive you and set you loose? Isn’t that suicidal?” Ottio knew she was being mean on purpose but it was making him annoyed “I wanted to take revenge, no one should be happy when others are suffering for what was not their fault, and been lied to” Her said “Who lied to you?” She asked He went silent “If you really need my help you will open your mouth and talk to me” She made it known to him rudely “Will you really help me?” He asked “I will not tell you things now and never wak
Before Ellie could say a word the line went dead, she looked up frustrated at her mate, and he banged his fist on the table in anger, he stood up and turned his back on her. She knew he was still angry with her and she does not know how to calm him down. She have no idea of what to even say to him, so she kept quiet and walked to the bed to have her seat. Ezra started pacing the floor, his wolf was getting worked up and the atmosphere in the room was getting tensed. He finally turned on her.“You should have kept him on the line long enough for me to track his call” He told her“It does not look like he would have waited for that long evening if I kept talking, he controls the conversation” She said with a shake of her head“You could have kept him talking, you are a lady for Pete’s sake” He said“What do you me
