Chapter 108 Caleb’s POV My brain was on overload trying to process the now to the two pasts. Hunter had taken Ella back to our room to make her get some rest while I made my way to my office to get a drink. Nothing was making any sense to me and I waited for Hunter to join me to explain what the hell just happened and tell me where my daughter was. Two drinks in Hunter finally arrives at my office and pours himself something to drink and sits in the chair in front of my desk as he runs his hands down his face like he felt exhausted. “You need to tell me what the hell is going on.” I tell him hoping he has the answers to why my head feels like it does. “Ella tried to take the Moon Witch on by herself.” Hunter tells me. I stood up in anger and downed the rest of my drink. “What was she thinking? She could have got killed.” “But she didn’t. I did.” Hunter says and I looked at him confused because he looked alive and well to me. “What do you mean by you did?” I ask him as I cont
Ella’s POV It was a hot summer day as I sat on the tree swing overlooking a massive lake that lay before me. Hunter and Caleb were taking a swim with our twin pups, Destiny, and Ares. Caleb was right the Moon Goddess blessed us once again. My heart was full again having all our loved ones back with us. Hunter fulfilled his promise of buying the land between the packs and built one of the largest packhouses I have ever seen. It was necessary since we were combining three families and two packs. He even let me pick the sight on where to build and of course I chose to build it overlooking the lake on the property. Hunter was now the King of Alphas and he is respected by all where Caleb was co-Alpha to our packs. Hunter unfortunately had to travel a lot but Caleb was always here to keep me company and I believed that is why our situation works so well. “Luna.” I heard someone call and I turned around to see Kate and Samantha walking towards me or should I say waddling. Samantha and Ka
Ella’s POV As soft white transparent mist rose from the sparkling clear water, and the beautiful morning melody was being sung by the native birds, I sat on the large boulder that overlooked the majestic pond. The crisp autumn air filled my lungs, as a slight chill ran down my body till it reached the tips of my toes. I shivered as I pulled my leather jacket tighter around me trying to stop the cool breeze from penetrating through to my skin that was exposed to the elements. I found myself taking in the beautiful array of colors of the leaves that autumn had graciously provided. I took in a few more deep breaths as I thought about what could possibly happen. No, what hopefully will happen to me today. Today is not just any normal day for me. It actually is one of the biggest most important day of any werewolves’ life. It’s my eighteenth birthday the day I shift into my wolf and finally get to meet her for the first time. Tonight, when the moon is at its highest peak my body will sh
Ella’s POV Slowly I climbed back onto the boulder which felt much warmer than this morning probably due to the sun’s heat beating off its satiny surface throughout the day. I found myself trying to hold back tears that were forming behind my eyelids. Tears that I did not want to spill all day while I was at school in front of all my peers. I felt like all my prayers to the Moon Goddess were for nothing over the last couple of years, and all my dreams of this day being the day just shattered to a million pieces just like my heart was feeling right now. Before I knew it warm liquid poured down my cool cheeks and I no longer could hold them back. I grabbed my chest trying to hold my heart thinking it would stop the emotional heartache I was feeling, but nothing I could do would comfort or stop it. Through blurred eyes I looked out at the pond as soft ripples formed on the surface due to the cool breeze of the evening air. With the sunset the autumn colors were being amplified and th
Ella’s POV The next morning came, and I woke up to the sun beaming through the crack in my purple silk curtains as it shined right into my eyes. I turned onto my side away from the window and pulled my down comforter up around my neck trying to cocoon myself in its warmth. My mind automatically started to go over the events that took place yesterday. One I didn’t find my mate and two my wolf. I grabbed the nearest thing I could get my hands on which was one of my decorative throw pillows and held it over my face in hopes that it would muffle my screams. I know that sounds a bit childish but after the day I had yesterday I thought I deserved that few seconds of release. I started to wonder last night before bed if the Moon Goddess was punishing me for something I did, but I thought long and hard and couldn’t come up with one thing that would cause her to punish me. I also tried to remember all the stories my mother had told me about the white wolves when I was a child. The stories m
Ella’s POV “Spill the beans. Is Chance your mate?” Samantha asked before I could take one step in the direction to our lockers. I almost choked on the air I was breathing into my lungs at Samantha’s question and began to cough. Did Samantha sense something between Chance and I too? The whole “I’ll be seeing you” and the look he gave me as he turned to get one last glance at me before he disappeared was making me have butterflies in my stomach. Not to mention the tingling sensations when he touched me and the getting lost when I looked into his eyes wasn’t enough. After I finally stopped coughing, I replied, “I could only wish.” Because the truth is I desperately did want a mate and Chance would be a perfect mate for me, but I don’t think he is my mate. It was only a partial connection. It was lacking something, but I couldn’t figure out what. Samantha frowned, “That’s too bad. I could have sworn I saw sparks between the two of you. Plus, he’s easy on the eyes.” “Yeah, there are
Ella’s POV The bell rang to the last period, and I grabbed my stuff and raced out of the class. I decided to take my backpack to my last class with me so I could get out of school as fast as I could. I was trying to avoid Chance if I could. It’s funny you know, trying to avoid a guy I’m so attracted to, but I didn’t want to have to have another conversation with him today until I had time to think things over. I found myself thinking about Chance the last couple of periods and what he had said at lunch. The one thing that was getting to me was that his wolf was going crazy when we were together, but my wolf didn’t even make a fight to surface. Knowing what kind of wolf I have within me, one would think that if she wanted out or wanted to express herself, I wouldn’t be able to hold her back. This made me feel confused on whether he was my mate or not because one would think that my wolf would stir if our mate was close. See not only is my mate mine in human form but my mate’s wolf i
Chance’s POV Last period bell rang finally, and I rushed out of the classroom and to my locker. What was I doing? Why was I acting this way? For Goddess’s sake I’m an Alpha to be and here I am rushing so I can get to a she wolf. Ever since this morning when I saved her from getting hit by a car my wolf has been on edge and it’s been hard to concentrate. This morning when I stood there looking at this dreadful high school from across the road wondering how long I would have to deal with this place and entertain my dear uncle’s s demands of me she appeared. I watch her walking towards me on the sidewalk with her head down lost in thought and I wondered to myself what she could be thinking about not to notice me standing in front of her. Every she wolf notices my presence but this girl she couldn’t give a damn that I’m standing here now only feet away but before she reaches me I hear another she wolf yelling a name from across the street. Barely looking up towards the other she wolf s
