Elias’ povWe would leave soon after Zoey and Finley had their hair cuts. I had asked my mother if she could pick out some clothing and other things for Finley, I had no idea what she would need on my travels. I always packed a suit or 2 and some casual wear for myself and brought my toiletries. Whatever else I needed I bought at my location. But from what I’ve seen woman tend to bring a lot more stuff when they travel than men. Zoey would be coming too and one of the senior soldiers of Gamma Omar, to make sure Zoey was doing a good job. First places we were going to were the packs where some of the lawyers lived and meet their Alpha’s. It wasn’t polite to ask for a pack member’s help without discussing it with their Alpha first.Zoey and Finley arrived at the airport while I was already seated on the plane. We were going on a private jet, to ensure Finley’s safety even more. When Zoey walked in her turquoise hair stood out,

Elias’ pov We had to leave to go to the next pack, but Zoey first wanted to talk to me about something. I figured she wanted to discuss finding her Mate, but the conversation actually went very differently. “You need to find help for Finley. The first night we shared a room I was freaking out a bit, hoping she wouldn’t cast a spell in my sleep. But she is way too damaged to try anything. All she did was sleep in a small ball and she would cry and moan in her sleep. I am not even sure if Finley notices, but she is not okay. I know you need to keep her safe, but she needs other types of help too.” I had tried to talk to Finley, but she had kept her distance. I wasn’t sure if she was keeping her distance from me for another reason or because she was in too much pain. “The next pack is a bit larger, perhaps there is someone there Finley can talk to.” I told Zoey hoping I was right. I knew that sometimes talking to a friend was enough, but sometimes you really need profe

Elias’s pov Hearing Finley talk about what Alpha Ivar had done to her made me go insane with guilt. Should I just have killed him when I had the chance? Should I have looked for Finley sooner? I didn’t know if I would be able to handle everything Finley had gone through, she was so strong. Finley’s birthday was coming up soon and two days later the trial would start. I planned to do the trial sooner, but it was so much work trying to get everyone here at the same time. I had to make sure there was a place for every witness, every judge and their security to stay. The trial was open to public, so there were a lot of other people coming as well. Honestly I was so happy I hired Raven, she had been the best investment I have ever made and she makes Zoey very happy. I had hired a lot of people now and sometimes I felt more like a business man than a King. But this was all part of the plan I had envisioned right? I would get to travel the world and find ways to help packs

Elias’ pov I should have never left Finley alone. I just needed a moment. Finley avoided me all day yesterday and today we had a lot to do, mom was coming and the trial would start. But my mom just annoyed me. All my parents cared about was that I was keeping Finley safe and they failed to notice how hard it was for both of us to be around each other. I know keeping Finley safe was the most important thing for every werewolf. She could be the end of a prophesied war.  But to me Finley was more than just someone to protect. She was my mate and she rejected me. My mom asked “is everything okay? Her wolf is nice, so that means she most likely will side with the wolves if anything happens right?” and it pissed me off. Of course all my mom cared about was that Finley would choose our side if a war ever broke out. I replied “yes mama, she will side with us. Because that is all she is good for right?” and I walked off leaving Finley with Zoey and my mom. When Zoey rus

Elias’ pov Finley was still unconsciousness in my arms and there was no way the witches would believe the word of a wolf. For all they knew I had killed Finley and Beatrix. No one made a move yet, but I could see they didn’t trust a word I had said. One of the witches came forward and said “if you truly care about Finley you need to let us heal her.” I didn’t know if I could trust them with Finley, she was as much wolf as she was witch. But we had to start somewhere, Finley was raised here. They wouldn’t harm her right? “We have to try. If they can help Finley heal. We have to try.” Zane said. I walked towards the witch and asked “where do you want her?”, she pointed to one of the houses and I walked in and placed Finley on the sofa in the living room. Every step I took towards the house I was followed by the stares of witches and they would be one step behind me, to make sure I didn’t try anything. I sat down next to the couch and asked “please help her.” The witch
