Last Chance Chapter 21
Can't I catch a break? Isn't there already enough things going on in my life right now? I don't need any more drama.My father looks me over up and down as I stand there."You look much different than the last time I saw you," he muses."Why are you here?" I don't care what I look like. I don't want to make small talk with this monster.He looks taken aback by my response. When he recovers he answers. "I came to see you, of course. To see what you've been up to all these years. It looks like you're doing quite well," he says as he gestures to my office.I narrow my eyes at him. "Well you came and saw. You can leave now," I say monotone.He wants to see what I've been up to! Well he could've googled my name instead of showing up here. He hasn't tried to contact me since I left.I'm sure he didn't even care that I left that day.I turn to the side and hold a hand out signalling for him to leave.He walks my way."Elena, I came here to make amends for what I've done," he sighs.Make am
Last Chance Chapter 22
Elena's POVDeep breath in. Deep breath out. Repeat.Ok Elena, you got this.I straighten my back and hold my head high as I push the door open to the small cafe I told my father to meet me at. It has taken me two weeks to gather the courage I needed to meet with him.I've come alone like I said I would and didn't take Pierson up on his offer. I decided I needed to do this by myself.In the distance I can see my father at a round, wooden table looking up every few seconds. Most likely awaiting my arrival. When he turns my way we make eye contact and my stomach churns unpleasantly. I quickly look away and walk towards him. When I'm close enough he stands from the table. We awkwardly stand in front of each other not knowing how to greet one another."Hi," he says. I return his greeting before deciding on just taking a seat. He follows suit."You look beautiful Elena," he offers."Thanks," I mutter. "I ordered you a vanilla cappuccino. I know how much you love it." He points to the mu
Last Chance Chapter 23
Elena's POV I feel like I weigh a thousand pounds and my head keeps bumping like there's a DJ dropping his latest mix in a busy club in there.I groan out in pain. I hate being sick. Lying in bed with the blankets pulled up to my chin with a large wad of tissues lying next to me covered in snot, classy I know, is not the way I want to be spending my day.I texted Noah that I wasn't coming in today and he sweetly replied by asking if I wanted him to come up here and do what he does best, that being a doctor.Of course, I told him I too was a doctor and that I was perfectly capable of taking care of myself. Though, I lied. When I'm sick I turn into a big baby. I can't function properly and the last thing I want to do is take care of myself. I just don't want him to worry about me when he already has so much on his plate.I also don't want him to care for me when I've been awful to him. I've been doing everything in my power to distance myself from him until I can get my situation fig
Last Chance Chapter 24
Elena's POV"My life is a little complicated right now and I wish now more than ever that you were here so I could talk to you," I whisper.The light breeze in the air whips my brown locks to the side. The smell of the coming winter lingers in the Seattle air. I grab the sides of my black coat and pull it tighter around me in a futile attempt to keep the cold air from touching my already trembling body.I look at the marble stone and run my fingers along the white, engraved words that read, 'In Loving Memory of Jessica Danvers April 15, 1968 - October 21, 2009, Beloved wife, mother, daughter and friend.'A lone tear drips down the side of my face. If she were here I know she would've told me what to do. Noah hasn't talked to me in weeks. When we work together it's strictly business. I attempt to make friendly conversation or get him to talk about what happened, but it's to only to have him tell me he has to get back to work or he's busy.I miss him. Right now he's treating me like a
Last Chance Chapter 25
Elena's POV"Noah please talk to me. I'm sorry."I speed up significantly to try and keep up with his long strides. "Noah," I try once more desperately.Finally, after the fourth call he halts his determined steps and slams the clipboard he was holding onto the reception counter with a loud bang. He turns around abruptly. "What Elena? What is it that you could possibly say to me right now?" He barks. I'm taken aback by his sudden outburst, but try to recover quickly."I just want to explain things. That's all." I give him my most desperate look."And why should I allow you to do that?""We've been friends for awhile now Noah and I don't want to lose this friendship. I'm willing to fight for it. You haven't talked to me in weeks and now I just need you to give me the time to explain some things, so it can all make sense," I reason.He pinches the bridge of his nose and clenches his jaw. I can see him on the brink of giving in."I promise you that I'll tell you everything. I hate that
Last Chance Chapter 26
Pierson's POV"They're going to come after us sooner than what we expect sir," one of my men say to me.My eyes scan the reports my investigator has set before me for the third time. Why does this have to happen now? I'm just getting Elena back into my life.Although, this time I'm not going to cut her out. I can't. It would hurt the both of us too much. I need her in my life, so I'm going to do everything I can to keep her there."How many?" I direct my question to him.His lips set into a thin line hinting that the information that I'm about to hear is not going to be pleasant. "We don't have a specific number sir, but the army is much larger than it was then. Maybe even double in size."I nod my head. "And the leader?""My guys are still working on finding him, but we had no such luck. He and his pack are good. Whenever we have a lead on them it's like they know and throw it off. From what we have gathered they have taken down several more packs around us."I slam a fist on the tab
Last Chance Chapter 27
Pierson's POVI look him up and down sizing him up. He gives me a half smile in which I don't exchange for one of my own. "You're all grown up Pierson and from what I've heard you're on your way to becoming a great Alpha," he voices in a pleasing tone.I don't say anything. I know Elena wants to work on rebuilding a relationship with him, but every time I look at him I imagine what he must've done to her at her ripe age of fifteen.It hurts to picture her curled in a ball avoiding a fist flying her way, or her lying in bed crying her eyes out, or worst of all her trying to nurse her wounds because this cruel person wouldn't allow her to see a real doctor.But what hurts the most is that he reminds me that I wasn't there when she needed me. All that time I wanted to protect her from harm, but she was facing the real harm each day in her own household behind closed doors.It also didn't help that I had broke her heart. If I would've known I would've done things differently, but I can't
Last Chance Chapter 28
Elena's POVPierson's eyes are practically bulging out of his head and he seems to be looking everywhere but at me.Did he...did he just tell me he loved me?Oh my gosh. He loves me. I look at his face and he looks almost scared. I've never seen him like this before. Usually he has this overpowering confidence that emits from him each time you're in his presence, so seeing him like this is completely new to me."I...I'm sorry if it's too soon. If you don't feel the same I g...get it. I know you still have issues you still need to resolve with Noah, but I won't take it back. Just know that I do and...yeah," he stutters adorably. My face breaks out into huge grin. You know the one that if kept too long it'll make your cheeks hurt. I jump at him and wrap my arms around his neck. He's completely stiff and unmoving with his eyes looking like they'll pop out of his sockets once again. "I love you too Pierson," I whisper softly into his ear and those words couldn't be any more true. I ne
