Kevin's POVThe meeting had ended and I watched as the men dispersed out of the room towards their various homes. I sighed as I looked around and noticed that Liam had stepped out of the room.I frowned harder as I stepped out of the meeting room, looking for him. Something was definitely wrong with him even if I hadn't noticed at all during the meeting. It was customary for the alpha and the beta to walk home after a meeting so they could talk of how it went, the reports and what they had to do next but Liam was boycotting custom and leaving before me. That could only mean one thing. He was trying to avoid me. I wondered why that was and what could have happened that made him that way.Was he avoiding me because he hadn't been able to think of an excuse to keep Ella away from the witches on my behalf and was ashamed of telling me that?I felt like smiling in amusement as I wondered if that was truly the case. He could have waited for me and would have found out the truth. I would hav

Ella's POV"Mummy!"I could swear that my heart stopped working at that time when I heard Nathan scream. I ran forward to where he was, afraid he had hit his leg against a stone and was bleeding. I made them walk in front of me and I walked behind them so I could better protect them but that also meant that they would be the first to be exposed to the dangers of the road but I felt that was better than having them kidnapped behind me and spending the entire journey looking for them or fighting for them. I couldn't afford to waste time. I had to do what was here to do on time and go back home.I got to where he was, squatted by his side and heaved a sigh of relief. He wasn't hurt or bleeding. He was perfectly okay asides from the tears running down his face and I pulled him into an embrace to calm him down. The others could start crying as well and I didn't need that distraction at the moment. Tugging three crying kids wasn't part of the plan."What is the problem, baby?" I asked him.

Ella's POV"Master, someone is here to see you." Jennie said as we got closer to the house.The boys looked around as we walked closer to the house and I couldn't blame them. The house was built in a different manner than the houses back at home. I would have looked around as well if I wasn't an adult and better at hiding my curiosity."Who are they?"I heard a voice ask from inside the house. I was surprised at how young the voice sounded. I had assumed that the witch Kevin had traded his life to was an old witch. She had to be old and getting closer to her grave for her to have coveted someone else's life span. That was what I thought until I heard her voice. I didn't want to assume and wondered if the face of the witch was as young as the voice. It was possible that she was an old witch using spells to keep her voice young whereas her face was old."I didn't ask who she is but I found her looking for you. She is right here so you can ask her who she is and what she wants to see you

Ella's POVI frowned at her words. Was that why she had gasped? It was expected that the boys were going to get mated one day, why did have to be surprised about that."Is that why you gasped?""Their mate is about to die. She will die soon if you don't act fast."Wait! I tried to understand her. She? Why was she talking as if it was one person? Did she see the mate of only one of them? I wondered whose mate that was. Or did she mean that the mates of all of them were about to die soon? I remembered that she had said mate earlier instead of mates and was more confused."Whose mate did you see?""The mate of the three of them. She is going to die soon."I gasped at her repetition as I understood what she said. I couldn't believe that I had heard her right. "Do you mean one mate?"She nodded. "Yes. The three of them have the same mate." She clarified."How come?" I asked, mostly to myself.She shrugged. "I don't make the fates. I only see them or alter them to suit my purpose."I couldn

Kevin's POV"Are you ready?" Liam asked me as he stood before me.I nodded as I rose from my chair, looking at the desk in my study. I had done everything that I needed to do. I had cleared my duties up to the next one month and I wouldn't be missed much if I wasn't around for that long. I didn't plan to stay absent for that long though. I hoped to find Ella as soon as possible and bring Ella back home. I was going to drag her if I had to. She didn't have to worry about my ten years. I had thought it through and didn't feel bad when I had given it up. She didn't have to feel sorry for my sake."Let's go." I said to Liam.I met Andre at the door. He was about to come into the study and bowed as he saw me. "I came to check if you were still around.""I'm just about to leave.""Have a safe trip, my lord." He said."Take good care of the men." I told him in response.I didn't tell anyone that the Luna had traveled off from the pack without my permission but instead told them that we had b

Kevin's POVWalking out with a hiss and without another word to Elizabeth, I made my way past her door knowing Liam was hot on my heels. I didn't have to turn around to check that out.I heard Elizabeth murmuring something about rude couples and them leaving without saying goodbye but I didn't care. If she was referring to me and Ella leaving her without saying goodbye to us after what she had done which she thought she had done as a favour to us, then she deserved it. She more than deserved it.I felt proud of Ella but at the same time I was worried about her. I hoped she hadn't gone too far for me to catch up to her. I hoped she was safe with the kids. I hoped she wasn't tired and deciding to rest at a place not safe for them. I had a map in my study detailing how to go to the human world from our lands and that which led there from the south is the most dangerous path and farther.The closest path is that from the Utopia town and that was why they had a mixture of humans, the ones

Kevin's POV"Ella! Ella! Wait up!" I shouted her name.She should have turned at the first call. She was a werewolf with heightened hearing and shouldn't have difficulties hearing her name when called especially when I was calling her at that distance. She should have heard me as I wasn't far to her. Not answering at the first time she was called could only mean one thing. She was distracted and was lost in her thoughts.Did she always have to make me panic? I sighed as I continued running. A distracted person on a dangerous path such as this was as good as prey for the wild and strange creatures here, an easily killed prey at that.The kids didn't hear me call as well but I didn't blame them for that. They were still young and their senses weren't as heightened as their mother's would be. Moreover, I knew without a doubt that they would be tired already with exhaustion from the long walk that they had been dealing with. That was also another disaster in the making. A tired wolf would
Rejected Silent Lone Wolf 202
Ella's POVI was surprised to see Kevin though I wasn't too surprised that he was around. I didn't have to think much of it to know why he was there.One, Kevin couldn't live much without me. He was obsessed with me and I didn't mind that. I was surprised that he had last this long without me. I had even expected him to follow me immediately he saw my letter. I had expected him to meet me at the red witch's house so it wasn't much of a surprise that he was here.Two, Kevin loved his kids too much for him to let them be alone in an unfamiliar place without being there.Three, Kevin was a curious man and he couldn't have stayed at home without knowing how I planned to get the ten years back for him. He would have driven himself crazy, playing a lot of scenarios in his head.Four,...I was distracted when I felt him behind me, his breath lightly tickling my neck. I smiled as I turned to him, placing my hands on his as he wrapped them around my stomach."What are you thinking of?" He smil
