I physically feel numb from accepting Eric's rejection but on the bright side on an emotional level, I feel good as well. I don't know what happened or how Eric is feeling after the acceptance of his stupidity. It's not like I care because I don't. Eric already set a boundary between us and I made it clear that it's over. This mate thing is out of my life. I am happy but Eliz is not okay at all.To meditate on the past three days, oh moon goddess tells me all about it again. So many things did happen. Like first on the list, it was me disrespecting other packs of Lunas. Oh, my two sweet enemies who want nothing more than for my head to be on a platter and to be presented in front of them?Second, it was me disrespecting Eric and Aaron. Third, don't forget me to help look for Jea and me moving away from Alcader, and then I have to live with Alpha Aaron Reed. I sometimes wonder what it's like to live with Claire's ex-mate?Lastly, the Alpha's telling me that I'm on the hit list of the
The tears that were overflowing from my eyes a while ago stopped. However, I audibly try to catch my breath. My eyes dart around pulling away from his touch. I didn't understand his words and the way he caress and wipe off my tears. I don't remember meeting him like this but the only time I know he sees me like this was when they left me to die in the hands of the hunters.'Where are we?' I ask Eliz who just woke up and open our link. 'I don't know you tell me,' she said in a sleepy tone then suddenly she screams in alarm through our link. 'Where the hell are we? What did you do with our body?' I look around taking in our surroundings again. I gasp when I am fully aware of my surroundings. Instead of the bedroom, I am actually in the woods. I started to panic and look down at my body. I quickly cover myself with my hands as I am only wearing a flimsy nightgown.I look up at him and then around me. My thoughts keep jumbling. What the hell was I doing out here in the woods? Yet worst
"Freedom!" was one word inside my head ever since the Moonbridge Beta told me that Alpha Reed is out for a week. I excitedly unpack my stuff before heading downstairs. I swear I hate taking steps, especially when it's a three-story packhouse. When I made it to the foyer there was no sight of anyone around so I walk a little bit to the other side and collide with the Beta. "Ouch" I wince complaining to Eliz 'seriously was he the only one in this house.' "Where are you going?" he asks snapping me out of my link with Eliz. "Umm to have a look around," I answer nervously. "I'm sorry Ms' Langford but Alpha's orders. We are not to allow you to go outside," he strictly told me. My brain froze and my jaw drop open. 'Wait a minute!' I try to function my brain and see if he is joking with me. "I'm sorry when you carried my bag, did you see a sticker that says, prisoner"?" he shook his head no. "No, but still you cannot go out," he said not even caring about how I would take his respons
"This is so good," I moan while taking another fork of omelet into my mouth.'Girl can you like take it slow' Eliz groans in my head. 'Seriously if any of the boys pass by and you're still eating like that I will personally request the moon goddess to find me another human,' she threatens me but I ignore her.'I thought you were dead but since I'm hearing your voice I guess you're not' I retort and she doesn't reply which made me smile to myself.Since the Alpha made me go to bed without dinner I woke up early to get ready and make breakfast for myself. Of course, that was after roaming around the foyer for an hour looking for this damn kitchen.'Can you seriously stop now?' said Eliz. Ignoring her I take another mouthful of omelet. "Hmm yum," I tease her. Gosh, teasing her is fun.'Okay not funny anymore Elle. Stop now! I think I'm hearing footsteps' she says. However, I take another one and ignore her. "So yummy," I giggle and turn around to fetch milk from the fridge my mouth still
"We're doomed!" Aaron mumble as he leans forward on his office desk with his hands on both sides holding himself up. Great' I thought and I glance at Eric who is watching outside the window. I could see him frown and he was a little bit angry. I drag my gaze to see the other three sitting there in their seat like statues. Okay, am I going to be in trouble? I ask myself and gulp my saliva nervously. 'Say something,' urges Eliz through our link but I block her out again as I can't focus and don't know how to ease the tension in the room. 'What am I supposed to do? Okay, let me try' I thought and parted my lips to speak."We last saw each other near the Blood Moon pack," I slowly told them the truth and regretted it the moment I hear groans and cussing from the three statues in the room. Aaron frowned at me which made me heave my shoulder and ignore him. "And that was four years ago," Eric replied without looking my way."True, but you're not getting my point here," I interject and all
"Alpha Zeus." Eric shifted and greeted him followed by Aaron. Eliz giggles and fans herself with her paws before we turn to the other side. My eyes hurt and I regret looking at something I am not supposed to see. Something that I avoid seeing between Zeus's legs. 'Ahhhh our poor innocent eyes' I pouted and Eliz laughs in my face. I turn away shutting our eyes. These men thought that my wolf and I must have seen tons of their private parts but the truth is this is the first time we saw the male glory that people talk about. Great! Just Great! I open my eyes again to see if they're still naked and thank the moon goddess some of them are already cover-up. Taking a look around us, we saw one of the pack members handing out clothes. I moved toward her to fetch some clothes. She smiles when saw us. "Hello, sorry you had to see so many naked men around," she said, handing me a pair of shorts and a black t-shirt. "Thank you," I howl in an appreciative tone which made her smile even more.
Two days passed since the unwelcome feeling by Eric and Zeus. Despite not wanting to be around them, unfortunately, I have to and we have been doing the same thing over and over again.We have been digging into information about the hunters and rogues. However, everything seems to be on loose ends. We came with nothing at all. Most of the time I felt like there was no use for me to be there. They may have wanted me to help find Jea but I can't help but think that Jea may not be the reason why I'm here with them.Called it intuition but those feelings are never wrong and I cannot wait for the day the truth came out. This whole thing is making me anxious every day.The opening of the poster by Zeus in front of Eric and Aaron snaps me out of my crazy thoughts. "So they are handing out a reward for those who have info on the werewolves that killed their men. We need to be careful as there will be traitors in here and out there," he warns them before passing the poster around to Lucian, Con
I put a hand to my beating heart while Eliz continues to laugh at me for being too sure with the boys. I ignore her laughter and made my way to the front door of the house. I know Aaron forbids me not to go anywhere without his approval but he is not my Alpha and, I want to take a walk. I almost made it to the door when I collided with an elderly woman. She struggled to balance herself making her fall down. I quickly apologize and help her up. "I am sorry madam." "It's alright dear," she said as tried to reach for the basket on the floor that is filled with a white cloth. "Let me," I said and reached out for it instead. "Wow, it's kind of heavy" I mutter and lift it with my hands. The old madam stretches her back before she politely asks me to hand it over."I can help carry it for you" I suggested because not only did I feel bad for her but she reminded me of my late grandparents. I wasn't joking when I said the basket is heavy."Who are you?" she curiously asks me."Just an unwant
