Ella’s POV
I was biting my nails hard as I dreaded the meeting I had with Joseph and alpha Klaus at three. My lunch sat at my dining table untouched as I did not have the appetite to eat.
I watched the clock get closer to three and felt myself getting closer to a massive panic attack. I kept trying to breath in and out like Sara taught me to do whenever I felt myself losing my grip on my feelings. It wasn’t working very well. I kept trying to convince myself that I had nothing to be panicked about. It was just a meeting, and Joseph is going to be there with me the whole time. That wasn’t working very well either.
A sudden sharp pain pulled me out of my anxiety attack. One of the nails I was biting so hard into was bleeding and throbbing in pain.
“Dammit. Get it together Ella” I whispered to myself angrily.
I got up from the sofa and went to the bathroom to splash some cold water on my face. I dried my face then pulled

Ella’s POV Joseph took one look at us; me pinned against the wall, shaking, breathing hard and trapped by alpha Klaus whose anger could be felt from a mile away, and was standing next to me in an instant. “Klaus, let her go” ordered Joseph warily. I was trapped in his eyes, I couldn’t look away from them. The hurt I saw in them made me feel guilty for saying what I said. I wasn’t expecting him to be affected that much by it. Comparing him to alpha Grey and telling him that he was worse than him was wrong. Alpha Grey was still the worst person on the planet earth. But, I wanted to hurt him so much that I had no control over what came out of my mouth. I felt like I needed to apologize to him, for the last part at least. But I couldn’t open my mouth. He kept staring at me for a few seconds before turning around and going back to where he was standing before, near the window. He gave us his back, but I could still see how tense he was from his rigid form. “Are you ok, Ella?” asked Jos

Klaus’s POV “Is there something else we need to talk about? I need to go punch the shit out of something” I said in irritation to Joseph after Ella left us alone in his office. My blood was still boiling from everything Ella said to me before Joseph entered the office. For someone who is scared shitless at the sight of me, she sure had a hell of a lot of nerves to speak that boldly to me without fearing the consequences. While I saw the fear in her eyes when I pinned her against the wall, the anger in them was far greater. I would never let anyone speak to me the way she just spoke to me without punishing them severely. No one even dares to speak to me in that way. Hell, I wanted to punish her so badly but barely held myself. Reminding myself that she has been through hell. Also, most of what she said was completely true and I deserved most of it. But for her to say I was worse than that bastard Grey tipped me off the edge. I wanted to show her just how diffe

Ella’s POV My mind was still stuck in that confrontation I had with the alpha, while waiting for my instructor to arrive. What the hell was I thinking to speak to him that way? Never have I imagined saying those things to him like that. Especially the last part. He did not deserve that last part. He wasn’t worse than alpha Grey. Not yet. I contemplated going to him and apologizing for the way I spoke. I was so out of line. I was still surprised that he just let me go without any sort of discipline. I made up my mind. As much as I wanted to never see him again, I needed to apologize. Otherwise, I will keep eating myself up every time I think about him. As soon as my practice is over, I will go to his office, and if I didn’t find him, I will go to his room. I wanted this over with tonight or I will never be able to sleep from the guilt I felt. Suddenly, the door opens, pulling me out of my deep thoughts about the alpha. I was standing in the middle of the room when the door opened. W

Ella’s POVI woke up in the middle of the night and put my hand over my mouth to keep myself from screaming in terror. I was having a nightmare as usual.This time it was the mysterious guy who tried to kill me at the old pack. He was haunting my dreams every night now.I leaned over the bed and drank some water from the cup on the night stand.I sighed in frustration. Sleep was long gone now for me. I was so tired but I know I’ll never be able to go back to sleep now.It had been a long emotionally difficult day. My earlier panic attack took a lot of strength from me.Sara came to check on me half an hour after I returned to my room. Apparently alpha Klaus told her what happened in the training room and asked her to check on me. We sat together until dinner. I told her about everything that happened in Joseph’s office and then after with the training instructor. She listened to everything I said attentively.She was

Ella’s POV Jake says curiously “I didn’t know you had a guardian” “I didn’t. Linda just started today. She and Stephanie will be taking shifts” I said while taking the seat opposite from him. “Is everything ok?” he asks in concern. I exchange looks with Linda. Should I tell him? Well, since we are going to see each other almost everyday, he kinda deserves an explanation. “Don’t worry it’s just a precaution. I was attacked by someone at my old pack, and we haven’t been able to identify him yet” I said nonchalantly, trying not to make a deal out of it so they don’t catch how much it actually terrifies me. He paused for a second to process what I said “Well, you don’t have to worry while I’m here, I can take whatever comes through that door” I heard Linda snort from the sofa. Jake turns around slowly and looks at her. “Something funny?” he asks with raised eyebrows. “You don’t need to protect her while I’m here” she answered in a cocky tone. “That’s what I’m saying. You don’t ne

Klaus’s POV “I introduced Ella to Linda and Stephanie. Linda is currently staying with her. They will also be responsible for her training” said Joseph. “That’s great. They are perfect for the job, good choice Joseph” I told him. A little weight seemed to lift from my chest. Now, I am certain that no harm will ever come to her. I was still thrilled that she accepted my apology and was on the verge of forgiving me for the pain I have caused her. I still wasn’t sure if forgiving me will mean that she still wants nothing to do with me. I wanted to ask her about this in the corridor before we went our separate ways. But I was afraid of her answer, so I kept my mouth shut and let things go the way they are meant to. I looked nervously at the time on my phone. I was sitting in my office waiting for my meeting with the pack elders. The pack elders are men who are basically very old. Anyone who becomes 100 years old, can instan

Ella’s POV Linda and I were heading down to training, while talking about how we are going to divide our training session. I open the door to training room number one and walk inside before realizing that it was already occupied. I was about to turn around and leave, when I noticed who was in the room. It was alpha Klaus. He was too focused on hitting the punching bag, he did not notice us at all. I was only seeing his side, so his expression wasn’t very clear to me, but the way he was hitting the bag radiated anger, not just anger, rage. I looked at the bag and saw blood dripping down from it. Shit! He was hurting himself again. What got him so mad like this? I should have turned around and left him alone. It was none of my business, he was none of my business. I was nothing to him, and he was nothing to me. We weren’t even friends. So why was my heart breaking for him with every swing? Why did I want to take all his pain away? The Ella who hated him so much for what he did to he

Ella’s POV I took a deep breath, adjusted the look on my face, and knocked on the door. “Come in” said Joseph. I opened the door and closed it behind me. They were sitting in the living room. I could feel them trying to adjust their features, so as not to let me notice their sadness. I went over to Joseph and hugged him lightly, then sat next to Sara and hugged her too. It became sort of a habit to hug each other every day, probably because they know how much I yearn for a loving family touch. “How was your day Ella?” asked Joseph with a smile. Even though they were sad for alpha Klaus, it didn’t stop them from caring for me too. It made my heart warmer, just knowing that they really came to care for me too. “It was good. I started training with Linda today. She said I had a long way ahead of me, apparently I am too skinny and lack muscles completely. So she has me doing laps, lifting weights, and doing lots of strength training. It made me a little sad that we weren’t starting r
