Rejected Silent Lone Wolf 103
Ella's POVI ignored the guilt and grief in my heart and continued running, eager to get to the river more than anyone else. Why did this have to happen?I had imagined soaking myself up in a long bath when we get out of the jungle and back to the village and not having to go on another adventure right after we get back with Liam fighting for his life while we worried that we might not make it back on time to him.Damn. We had to make it back to him. We had to. I couldn't think of any other way. I would be devastated if we had to put an end to Liam's life to save him and everyone else. Kevin would be broken and everyone else would be affected as well.Liam had to be saved. He had to make it. He had to. I thought as I continued running, my paws hitting the ground hard as I ran faster than the others.I gasped as I saw a river and shifted back into human form. "Isn't that the river?" I said, pointing at it.The others stopped beside me and shifted back to their human forms."It is a riv

Kevin's POVThis fight was hard on me and it wasn't because I didn't trust Ella. I knew that she could handle herself but that didn't mean I would stop feeling overprotective when it came to her.I wanted to go there and yank her away from the fight but I dared not. Ella would be mad at him and more importantly, I doubted that we would be able to go with the daisies if we interrupted the fight.I couldn't do that. We needed to save Liam and had already wasted so much time. I didn't dare risk Liam's life because I couldn't control my emotions.I knew Ella was going to fight with all that she got because of the love she had for Liam and the guilt that he was lying there for her sake. I had no doubt that she wouldn't stop until she won so I had to trust her that she would. I had to believe in that smile she had given me before sparring with the spirit.She had told me with her eyes to believe in her and that was what I was going to do and wish her luck.I winced as the spirit got a blow

Ella's POV Finally, we were leaving. We were going home. I wasn't going to say that I was going to miss the runaway slaves in this village but I would think of them once in a while. Liam was fully healed and ready to go home. Asides the concoction from the daisies that had helped him, I had also made him some herbal juices that had renewed his strength. I wouldn't be surprised if he started to kick ass of enemies if we ever get into any battle anytime soon. That was how much I believed in the medications I made and how strong Liam was. "Are you all ready to leave?" Kevin asked, looking at our group as his eyes traveled round. I almost snorted at his question but kept it in check. Who wouldn't be ready to leave after all we had been through? I could bet my position that the men had been waiting for this day for a long time. "Yes, Alpha." The men echoed. The people came out to wish us goodbyes and as much as we wanted to act cool about it, tears still dropped from the eyes of some

Ella's POV"Show us your wrists." I said to them when they didn't talk and I was afraid everywhere was going to be a bloodbath soon.They complied and everyone gasped as they saw the marks on their wrists."You should have said something." Avila said beside me, scolding them. "Or show us your wrists if you didn't want to say that you were slaves.""We didn't know who you were and were afraid you might send us back to town if you knew that we were runaway slaves." Someone finally said among them."If you knew that, why did you come here?""We were tired and hungry and couldn't resist coming over here when we heard voices coming from here."I sighed. I didn't know that we were that loud for our voices to echo over the mountains but I guessed it would with the way everyone was talking and bidding one another goodbye then.It was pure luck that the slaves escaped and were walking through the mountains on the day we were leaving or they wouldn't have heard noises coming from here. They wou

Ella's POV"When did you escape?" Rok, the assistant community leader asked the newcomers."Two days ago." The response came."Why?" Rok insisted."The nobles are harassing the women and it's getting too much. We all thought it was peculiar to one household until we realized that they were acting the same way." One of the men in the group stepped forward and said. "They had all gone crazy because they know we don't have much choice because of the slave marks and can't survive in town with it. We eventually snapped and escaped when we heard that they were harassing the kids.""That is sad." I muttered under my breath."It is." Avila replied. I was talking to myself actually but I knew she had overheard because she was close to me. "The thought that they would experience more than they have suffered because of the mark breaks my heart more.""I wish there was a way to clean the mark without having to go to the jungle and risking your life.""Maybe there was." Avila sighed. "We have not

Ella's POVI was frustrated. This was another failure. This would be third attempt at getting the slave mark erased. I had worked on three different potions but none of them had cleaned the mark.What the hell had been used to make that damn slave mark and why was it more concentrated than before? I suspected that it was due to the slaves having the habit of running away recently.Even if we didn't want to get the potion to erase the mark, we had no choice but to do that now if we wanted their skin reaction to go.Avila and I had given the people the medication for their allergic reaction. They would stop scratching for a day and then start again. It was then we realized that what we really had to work on was erasing the slave mark on their wrists if we wanted to save their lives and that was why I was more than frustrated that things weren't going the way I wanted."How is it going?" Avila said as she walked, dressed in a lab overall and covered from head to toe.She had to be that w

Ella's POVThe walk home after we left the villagers was as eventful as a stone dropping in water. It was a silent journey with nothing much to write about. We walked gently and steadily through the field, crossing the rivers when we got there and climbing the mountains.I missed them already but there was nothing I could do about that. It wasn't likely that I was going to see them again. There were times I was amazed at the advanced technology that the people in the utopia town enjoyed and wished I had something like that. It would be nice to have the gadgets they use to communicate so I wouldn't have to miss someone too much, worry about them and without knowing how they were.If I could have that, I could find out how the people were all doing, if they had gotten the freedom they desired, if Avila had succeeded in making more slave mark cleaning potions and if they were blending in back in the society.I could reach out to my angel friend to know how she was doing. She should have

Ella's POV"Here." Kevin said, steering us towards the right. "We go through here."I nodded, walking after him like the others. We were about to get through the second to the last river and afterwards would be almost home. I couldn't wait to get this behind me.My heart started pounding as usual, scared of how the wolves of the blood moon pack were going to treat me when they hadn't exactly been nice to me. My emotions were conflicted and I was worried.Part of me was delighted as always that I was going home and going to see where I had grown up while another part of me was scared it was going to feel nothing like home to me. The blue river pack felt more like home to me. That reminded me of why I had been going home in the first place. I needed to know if my father was really from the blue river pack. I still had those questions to solve and I wasn't going to leave without getting them so yes, I was going home.I had gotten kidnapped because I was on my way home to solve the puzzle
