Hi! So sorry for mxing the names up last chapter. I'd thought it be fun if everyone in that family had a name starting with t, but then it confused me hahaha. Ela's trainer is called Troy. Theo is the younger brother. I changed it back, but you might not see it unless you delete the book and than re-add the book to your library. from this point on I will make sure to pay attention. I also wrote Ishaan as Ishaad a few times. But it's Ishaan. My youngest had a rash because of having a fever and has woken up every hour or so for the last few days, so that makes it harder for me to notice these small errors. thank you for letting me know when I make a mistake.
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
Lily’s pov I was way more invested in Ela and Easton than was healthy. At least that was what Osiris said. To think, I was once a girl that didn’t want to meet her mate. And now, now I loved seeing love. It was like my personal soap opera, happening in front of me. I didn’t know Ela or Easton well enough to intervene, but Easton did live in the packhouse right now. I also saw Easton a lot, Osiris wanted me to be there for some of the pack meetings. He was coming up with a type of law book. But I did have a reason to see Easton today, I wanted to ask him what we could do about Damian. Damian was still locked up in the dungeon, although he could come out to work at Cyrus’ farm. But I felt bad for him, for Kane. It had been more than six months. “Is that the love thing again?” Arya joked, “you just want Kane and Damian to be together?” Part of it maybe, but mostly it was that Damian was working really hard. Seeing a therapist, doing everything without complaining or asking for mercy.
Ela’s pov “Ela! Please come over tonight.” Talia’s voice rang through my mind. O how she loved to use that mindlink. Ever since she got her wolf two weeks ago, she’s been mindlinking everyone nonstop. Talia had a big birthday party and I brought Easton with me. He and Troy did have a talk, which almost turned into a fight, but Talia saved the day by threatening to call Gamma Jara over. She used her niece every chance she had. Both Troy and Easton were scared of Gamma Jara, so it did help. Talia was so excited, now that she had her wolf she could finally start training under Gamma Jara, just like her brother Troy. “I actually have plans with Easton.” I said, mindlinking her back. I had been busy studying and Easton was hard at work, but he always made time for me. We would call or spend the evening together. Spending the night together, hadn’t happened yet. It was difficult, I was still living at home and the last time I came home after spending the night, my parents weren’t happy
Easton’s pov I had been working hard the last two days, trying to help Alpha Osiris and Luna Lily share their new plan for this pack. It was a cool idea, but they wanted impute from Alpha Edward and Samira too. Samira was a tough woman. I spend three days with her after Milo lost control and she was really pissed at me. Saying I should have been taking care of my wolf better. She can be really scary and I don’t want to be on her bad side. I have heard about Alpha Edward and saw him briefly during the trial. I actually saw the moment Alpha Edward and Samira met and I knew these few days would be awkward. I don’t think they saw me, but when Alpha Edward shook her hand he quickly pulled away. Samira then started to laugh, “don’t worry. I have no interest in another one.” I wasn’t sure what it meant, but it was strange. During the last two days Samira and Alpha Edward had either fought or ignored each other. They sat as far away as possible from each other and the whole thing was maki
