Another chapter because I felt guilty. Hope you like it. So Easton is being a bit of a dick. I'll write a chapter from his pov soon, maybe it will explain some things. Or it will make you hate him more, hahaha. thanks for reading and let me know what you think!
Easton’s pov Shit shit shit. I had never thought I’d see Ela here. Shit. I had been emailing with Ela and it was so nice getting to know her. I could see why the Moon Goddess had chosen her for me. Ela was smart, had drive and a sense of family. She loved swimming like I did and she loved making cakes and other sweet pastries, while I loved eating them. My wolf was so happy Ela had reached out, that he finally talked to me. He had been ignoring me ever since we left the Iron River pack. I was so scared if I saw her again, that I wouldn’t leave. I had given up too much to become a lawyer, I needed to finish law school first and then figure out the rest. At first I thought I would take Alpha Osiris up on his offer, this way Ela could stay close to her family and try to open up a bakery. But then I got an offer for the law firm I am currently working at. They wanted to hire me after I got a diploma. It was everything I had dreamed about. Ela shared that she was having a though time,
Ela’s pov Screw Easton and his stupid job and his pretty face. I don’t need a mate. I just need to focus on my life here in the pack. I focused on baby Ryan, Auntie and my family for the weekend and then went home. Monday at school Talia saw something was off about me. I was easily irritated and I looked a mess. I couldn’t sleep. I was so angry and hurt. “Don’t take this the wrong way, but you don’t look good.” Talia said. I shrugged, “I’ll be fine. I just need to forget all about stupid Easton and focus on other things.” “Why don’t you come over to dinner at my house? Have some girl time?” Talia offered. It sounded nice and it would be a nice distraction from everything. So I accepted. We went to Talia’s house and I met her brother, the video gamer. True to his reputation he was playing a game on the tv, one my brothers also played ‘Trackmania.’ “This is Theo.” Talia said. “Hi, Theo. You should hang out with my brother some time, he loves games just as much as you. “ We sta
Osiris’ pov Things at the Iron River pack have been going well. Cyrus’ farm and shelter is now running smoothly, mostly run by former rogues and one of the new member’s a vet. Cyrus, Oliver and April now live on the farm and run it together. Even Oliver helps feeds the animals. I’ve taken Asher there to see the animals. It’s almost like a petting zoo now. I just hope Lily doesn’t try to convince us to adopt one too. I like animals more when I can give them back. It’s been months that there has been any sign of trouble, but we’re always ready for anything. Jara has made some changes to the training program, based on findings done by her nephew. This way they can make the halfbloods stronger. We’re even thinking about making humans train in close combat too. At least they’ll have a better chance if something happens. “Who are you talking to man?” Santos said annoyed. “I am just thinking about how well everything has been going for the last few months. This pack is becoming stronger
Easton’s pov I had finished law school and started working. I was living my dream, but why didn’t it feel like it? Maybe because I was still low on the food chain. I was working 60 hours a week, sometimes more, doing the paper work and research for the bigger lawyers. It would probably take years before I actually got a case of my own or would co chair in court. Damian’s trial had spoiled me. Given me a taste of what it could be like. Milo had ignored me ever since I last saw Ela. I should have said something, anything. But I gave up. She deserved better, someone to put her first. Maybe I was selfish. I wish Milo was still talking to me. He would get angry and probably tell me that it wasn’t the job, but the fact I was doing it without my mate. Shit. I just wanted to see her. So like a damn stalker I tried to find her on social media. All her profiles were private, but her friend Talia had hers on public. There were a bunch of photos of them together. Just seeing a picture of Ela
Ela’s povWhat the hell?! Why was Easton here? I thought he didn’t want me, I didn’t hear anything from him in months and now he is here!One part of me felt excited, my heart was beating and I wanted to run towards him. But the other part was angry and knew how he had hurt me, how he didn’t want me. “You need him. He’s your mate.” Ati said. She had been very vocal about Troy, so much so that I stopped dating him after three dates. Kissing him felt wrong, I didn’t feel any sparks and I kept picturing Easton. It didn’t help that Ati kept shouting in my head to stop seeing Troy in those moments either. Troy was meant to find his mate and I was meant to either reject Easton or for some miracle, have him in my life. If he earned it, at least. That was something Ati did agree on, Easton had some work to do.I knew Troy was still interested in me, but we agreed before we started dating. If one of us wanted to stop, we’d remain friends. And we have. We were at that pool as friends,
Easton’s pov “It’s really good to see you, but what the fuck happened four weeks ago? That shit was crazy.” Cyrus said when I came by to see him before I started my new job. I wanted to get his advice on everything. Not only the new job, but also Ela. I looked at my feet, “well, I was selfish. Not just towards Ela, but to Milo, my wolf, too. I had kept him inside for a long time and he was getting more and more angry with me ignoring my feelings for Ela. So Alpha Osiris and Luna Lily decided Milo needed some alone time. I spend three days in rogue territory, just being a wolf.” “That must have been fucking crazy after so long? I’m glad no one got hurt.” I nodded, that day still haunted me. “Me too man. Me too. If it wasn’t for Ela there, well. Actually. It was more me, that was going to get hurt. Because I have little to no fight experience and Milo was just going on instinct like a mad man.” “No offence.” I told Milo. He growled, “whatever.” Cyrus than raised both his eyebrow
Ela’s pov I have told my mother everything and she has been very vocal about the whole thing. She was angry at Easton, but she said that him being here was a good sign of progress. Easton has been sending me plants and even a letter last night, it really explained some things. Easton had a real different upbringing them I had apparently, getting handed everything. It had made him spoiled and when he did had to work hard, he focused all his attention on that. Leaving no space for me. Talia said I had to wait at least a week before I replied to him. “Ela, you waited four months for this man. He needs to sweat a bit.” Talia said. She was probably right, but I had already waited so long for him and now that he was here, I would rather try to work things out than play games. I wanted to talk to him or shout at him. Ignoring Easton felt wrong, especially after I said to Milo that I would be there for him. “Maybe Talia isn’t the best person to get advice from, she hasn’t met her mate ye
Easton’s pov It worked! Baking a cake worked! Ela finally replied to one of my messages and she wants to shift and go on a run. Even Milo was proud of me and really excited to see his mate again. I arrived at Prisha and Ishaan’s house and brought gifts. I googled what you should buy when visited Indian people and apparently chocolate and flowers are good, as long as they’re not wrapped in white or black. Ela didn’t seem really excited to see me, but I was just happy she wanted to see me at all. I could work with this. A angry Ela was still better than no Ela at all. I undressed and noticed Ela was starting at me. So she does like me, well at least my body. Now I just needed to get her to like the rest of me. Which will probably be a lot harder. I shifted and waited until Ela was finished shifting before turning around. Milo immediately threw himself on the ground as a way to apologies for his behavior at the pool. He wanted Ela and Ati to know that he wasn’t dangerous. Ati didn’t
