Semua Bab Alpha Loren: Bab 281 - Bab 290

Ella stayed in the hospital for another week. She took the pills every day and as promised, they took away her negative emotions but also everything else too. She no longer needed my hugs or any kind of comfort and she lost interest entirely in talking to me or even seeing me. It seemed Luca could no longer entertain her and most of her time was spent either asleep or staring vacantly at the wall. Whilst there were no more tears or nightmares,  a smile rarely graced her lips either and even less often a laugh.

 Leo's POV I could feel myself drifting out of sleep. I don't know what brought me to. Whether she made a noise or if it was just pure instinct but thank the Goddesses I did.

Two months later... It was a sunny Sunday morning. The sun shone into the library and there was a gentle breeze through the open windows as I sat on the carpet playing with Stefano and Zacharias. Leo was out working but Max sat on the other side of the room with the twins on his lap reading to them as we listening to the crashing of Cato, Mathias, Silas and Lili playing in one of their bedrooms.

 The second I was sure Andrea and the gun were far enough away, I woke Leo up. "What's the matter, Ells?" he asked. "You look like you've seen a ghost. And why are you shaking?"

 Leo's POV Two days later Luca and I were stood in the streets of Seattle.
