Lilly hugged Ellie tight round the neck, Ellie felt her heart melt at the tender touch of Lilly’s fingers on her cheeks. Ellie was just so touched by the little gesture.“Thank you so much Lilly, it is one of the best gift I’ve ever received, I love it” Ellie said emotionally, her pain was lo g forgotten. It was as if, Lilly was the cure she had been waiting for.Ellie carried her to the bed and sat her down on it, she looked at Ezra and muttered a thank you to him, he acknowledged her with a nod, he walked to his desk and resumed work, leaving the ladies alone.“I miss your pretty little face around here” Ellie told Lilly as she gently laid her drawing on the table beside the bed, she would have the picture framed and hung on her walls. “How has school been?”“Fine” Lilly shrugged
Ellie and her friends went to her own personal room to respect Ezra’s privacy, Dora and Loris brought popcorn while Gift brought cookies, they all had some after Lilly won them each in scribble, they later settled to watch a movie, Lilly was so happy to have them around her, she fell asleep in between the movie. Ellie knew the little girl would have been with Hattie if not.“Lilly should be going home now” Gift said after some hours, she checked the clock in the room, she knew Hattie would come for the child or send the Alpha to get her.“Shouldn’t she be staying here?” Dora asked Ellie“What?” Ellie asked confused“If she is the adopted daughter of Alpha Ezra, then you are her mother, you should be looking after her” Dora said“I…I don’t know about that”
The heat that rushed through Ellie’s body was so much she almost slipped, but the force with which she was pushed aside made her hit the ground hard and she passed out.Ezra ran at the unmated ones that approached his mate, he snarled at them with so much authority that they bowed in respect. Someone in the background was crying, it must have been Lilly, shouting and all that, all Ezra could focus on was stopping the unmated ones from getting to his mate.“Get her out of here” He yelled to anyoneLoris and Dora rushed to obey his command, they carried Ellie out of the room to the hospital wing.“Ellie” Cried Lilly, Hattie’s held her back or she would have followed the ladies“Shhh, she is okay” Hattie told Lilly, trying to calm her down“I want Ellie, she is hurt” Lilly cr
Ezra patiently watch as his mate woke up, she sighed as if she was in deep thought, she opened both eyes but closed them immediately with a curse.“Who wants to blind me?” She asked covering her eyes with her hands “Someone should close the curtains please”Ezra did not say a word nor did he stood up to do as she said. “Why does my room smell like.” She paused “Am I in the hospital?” She asked looking around, she looked at the other side before where Ezra was sitting, she stared and stared at him, then at her surroundings with her head raised up, when she was hundred percent sure she was in the hospital she fell back on the bed with a sigh.“Why do I keep on ending up here?” She asked no one in particular, she turned to him with accusing look, she sat upright on the bed and fixed him with a look “Since the day I me
Ellie walked out and saw Lucas waving her over, she walked to meet him, he was typing on his phone and when he saw she was close he kept the phone and focused his attention on her. “Where are we having the meeting?” She asked him “Alpha Ezra's office” He answered “Okay” Lucas led the way to the office Ezra and his Beta Emmett was there already, Lucas opened the door for Ellie and she walked in, avoided looking at Ezra, she had her seat that Lucas pulled out for her. Lucas took his seat too and Ezra opened the meeting, Ellie felt the pain in her head and forced her eyes closed from the impact, it was like someone hacked her brain memory. Ezra felt the pain his mate felt slightly, he looked at her and saw her eyes closed. He wondered what she was on about again. “Ellie…” The voice was so faint but Ellie knew who it belonged to “Loris?” Ellie asked through the mind link, but it was not there again, Ellie's phone rang and it shocked her, jerking her in her seat, reaching for it in
Ellie could tell her wolf was very serious about what she was saying but where is the fun accepting without whining her wolf when she can now.“Try me next month” Helen threatened“Come, you need to sit down” Ezra told Ellie leading her back to the car, Ellie followed her with no words, she entered the back seat and sat down, resting back in her chair as she replayed the whole day and conversation with Loris.She felt hurt as if something was hitting a hammer on her heart, she wondered how Emmett would have been feeling now.‘‘Do you think they are safe?” She dared to ask Ezra, her face cast down her feet“Seeing as, they were not killed instantly, I think they do not plan on killing them” Ezra said“And why was that?” Ellie wondered aloudNo ans
Ellie watched Hattie tie the pieces of clothes together rubbed it and blew air on it, she held it like it burn with the tip of her fingers and waves it in the sky. Hattie shivered as she dropped her hand. She looked straight at Ezra with hot eyes, Ellie moved back, but Ezra must have gotten used to it. Hattie eyes were on fire. “Dark magic, I smell dark magic, they don’t want to be found” Hattie said with a strange voice “What is to be done?” Ezra asked “Hattie what is to be done?” Ezra asked again like it was necessary to repeat his question for a reason unknown to Ellie “I can only help break the barrier, only God can help” Hattie said “We can’t do much today again” Ezra said “We can set out the search tomorrow morning early enough, we are all tired as it looks now” He looked at Ellie for confirmation. Ellie would have loved to continue the search, who knows if because of their decision to rest the ladies were harm or killed, she knew Ezra was right with his suggestion, he was
The footsteps got closer and the ladies stopped talking and tried to listen, trying to stay invisible in the darkness if possible. The smell came first before the presence of their kidnappers, they smell like the cell and much more worse, Rogues! One of them brought out a set of keys and opened the cell door.“Just one of them, boss will be interrogating them after the other” One of the kidnappers said“Of course, I know, do you think I’m dumb?” The other ask with a snarl“Stop snarling at me fool, you stink” The first one said“Shut up will you, and get one of them” The stinky one saidThe first opened the door, and used his hand to search for the ladies “Put on the light now will you”Stinky put on a torch, it must be from his phone and the ladies she
