The Half Blood Luna 51
Ella’s POV“Good morning Ella, are you awake?”I open my eyes to the sound of alpha Klaus in my head.I check my phone and find it 9:07 a.m.I over slept again. It wasn’t really a big deal since today was Sunday, my only day off from studying and training.After alpha Klaus left last night, I tossed and turned for a long time, but sleep wouldn’t come again.Although my body and my mind were both exhausted, but my mind refused to shut up and stop thinking.I stayed awake until dawn trying to wrap my head around my decision. It wasn’t an easy one. In fact, it was the hardest most unpredictable decision I have ever made so far.There was no guarantee that I will not end up regretting it deeply.Alpha Klaus promised that he will do everything he can to make this work for both of us. When the hell did I become so trusting? Why should I believe that he will keep his promise?The old E

Ella’s POV I was frozen at first. My arms still wrapped around myself. He was a lot taller than me, I barely reached his chest. A few minutes ago he was angry, speaking coldly to me, and now he is hugging me fiercely. Goddess, his personality is so complicated! Despite the fact that I was furious with him, I couldn’t deny that the hug made my whole body tingle. It was the first time I felt something like this when being hugged. I felt my sobs disappear and my body relax, as I leaned my head to his chest and listened to his steady strong heart beat. He didn’t say anything, he just kept embracing me tightly. I loosened my hold around myself, and slowly, uncertainly, started to wrap my arms around his huge body. It almost made me feel like I was hugging an untamed animal that will turn on me any second. I was still doubting him, doubting his true intentions, even doubting my own feelings for him. The hug confused and comforted me at the same time. We stayed like this for a few minu

Ella’s POV I barely manage to get out of the door leading to the basement, before I supported my weight on the door, unable to move any more. I felt like I was struggling to breathe. Alpha Klaus’s hands touch my shoulders as he stands in front of me. “Just breathe, you’re ok, Ella. Just breathe” he says softly. I look at him and whisper breathlessly “What the hell did he mean by that?” He shook his head “I don’t know. But whatever he said was only meant to make you panic. He’s playing with you, don’t let him” Something told me; probably his cold voice, that he really wasn’t playing at all. He was telling the truth. The truth will make me wish I was dead. I take a deep breath and try to compose myself. “Are you okay?” asks alpha Klaus in concern. “Yeah. Let’s just get out of here and check on Sara” I say in a strained voice. As we begin walking towards Joseph and Sara’s place, a question comes to my mind. “Where was Sara shot?” I ask alpha Klaus tensely. “She was shot twice

Ella’s POV A minute of silence fills the place as they both stare at us in shock. I couldn’t help but notice that Sara’s shock was brief, like she was expecting it but not that fast. While Joseph was looking at us both with a hard expression on his face. It made me so nervous. He finally said tightly to me “Do you realize what that means Ella? Klaus needs to have a child from you. Are you sure about this?” “Yes, that is the whole reason we are getting married. We made a deal with each other, I carry his child and after that, we both live our own lives separately. We both do not want a relationship, and the only people who will know the real deal is you two. To the rest of the pack, our marriage is real in every aspect” “Whose idea was this?“ he looks pointedly at alpha Klaus as he carries on in anger “Don’t you think that Ella has been through enough? To put that kind of pressure on her is not fair to her at all, Klaus. Besides, she is still underage” “It was my idea Joseph. I off

Ella’s POV Today is my wedding day. I was looking at myself in the mirror. I was wearing the most breathtaking wedding dress I have ever laid eyes on. As soon as I saw it at the shop, I told Sara that that is my dress. It was the first and only thing I personally chose from the entire wedding. It was an A-line, V neck, open back, just a little puffy, white wedding dress. It had a long tail, shoulder straps, it was mostly made of glittery Tulle, and entirely filled with floral lace appliques of different sizes. I was so in love with the dress, to the extent that I no longer hated the idea of a wedding. My golden hair was styled in a loose, soft curls half updo with soft short curls in the front to frame my face, accessorized by a floral headpiece in the front. It was done by Linda. Sara applied my make up for me consisting of white shimmering eyeshadow, a winged black eye liner, long eyelashes, and a dark pink lipstick. “You chose the perfect dress Ella. You look so beautiful

Ella’s POV I looked at the priest in surprise. You may do what to who now? Sara totally forgot to mention that part. I look at alpha Klaus in uncertainty. He wasn’t surprised at all, unlike me. He leaned closer until I could feel his breath on my face, while I was frozen in place. He kissed me briefly. It took no longer than five seconds, but to me, it felt like a lot more. I felt the time stop. The second his lips touched mine, my heart felt like it wanted to jump out of my chest. His lips were so soft, it surprised me. I was never kissed before in my life. That little very brief kiss felt good, it felt marvelous even. As he broke the kiss and backed off a little, he was looking at me with so much intensity. I felt out of breath, despite the extremely short kiss. I barely registered the loud applause that erupted from the pack over the sound of my loud heart beat. I felt my cheeks turn tomato red after that kiss and the enticing gaze from alpha Klaus. We turn towards the pa

Klaus’s POVI was pretending to play on my phone, all the while I could feel Ella staring at me from across the other sofa.It felt a little awkward to be living in this place with her from now on, after spending a whole year living in this empty house alone.She said good night to me and went inside the bedroom to sleep.I was pretending to be busy with my phone because I didn’t know how to act around her. It kept me from saying a lot of things I wanted to say that would have probably chased her away.I was afraid of admitting my feelings to her, like a coward.It was so ironic. The great, fearless, alpha Klaus is afraid of expressing his feelings towards a girl.But I had a good excuse for not telling her about the true reason behind accepting her offer.I was afraid she wouldn’t feel the same way.I was afraid if I came forward, it would scare her off and drive her away.She told me that she w

Klaus’s POVI woke up around ten in the morning, and found Ella still sleeping.I tried to make as little noise as possible so I don’t wake her as I went into the bathroom and took a quick shower.I didn’t expect her to be awake when I walked out of the bathroom; in only a towel covering my lower body, as my eyes met her sleepy ones. I saw the quickest blush I have ever seen appear on her cheeks as she stared at me with wide shocked eyes.She instantly turned her head away from me in embarrassment.Her reaction was hilarious. Being in a werewolf pack, you’d think she was used to nakedness.I found myself smiling as I said apologetically “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to embarrass you, I’m just not used to sharing the room yet. I will take my clothes with me next time”She didn’t say anything as I disappeared into the closet to get dressed for the day.I wore the usual black
