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
Klaus’s POV I narrow my eyes at him. It was the same crap he tried to pull with Ella before. “Speak everything you know about alpha Grey’s problem with my father from the beginning” I alpha-commanded him in a harsh tone. He didn’t fight the command this time, to my surprise. “Once upon a time about twenty five years ago, some stupid low lives half bloods ran away from our pack and took refugee in yours. They claimed they were mistreated brutally by alpha Grey. Alpha Mathew and beta James; your fathers” he looked at me then Joseph indicating that he was referring to my father and Joseph’s father who was also my father’s beta for a very long time. “They decided to intervene and paid alpha Grey a visit in his own territory. They went there to warn him that he should treat all of his pack members with justice and fairness or there will be consequences. Alpha Grey practically told them to go to hell. As they were about to leave the territory, alpha Mathew found his mate there. Your mo
Klaus’s POVIt was like a bucket of ice cold water got dumped on both of us.Joseph and I stared at each other in complete shock before we both mind linked at the same time.“Ella”She was stolen as a baby from here? Whose baby was she? That doesn’t make a lick of sense.Joseph was shaking his head in confusion as he asked Daniel tightly.“What baby?”He grinned at him in complete mockery.“Did you forget that you had a baby after Kate seventeen years ago? I mean I wouldn’t blame you if you totally forgot about her, she died on the same day she was born in of course you would forget her, it was nothing compared to losing a twenty four year old girl, after all”He paused for a few seconds before adding sarcastically.“I’ve got great news for you Joseph. Congrats, she didn’t really die. You’re still a father”I press my arm ag
