Ella’s POV
I 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

Ella’s POV As I laid in my bed, closed my eyes, and tried to sleep, I realized that alpha Klaus was occupying a big part of my mind. Although my muscles were screaming in pain after the intense training session with Linda and all I wanted was to sleep, I found myself thinking about him. He was in a very bad position, stuck between two horrible options only for him to choose the pack over his own happiness. It showed how much he really cared about his pack, cared enough to sacrifice his life for them. I was so angry. Angry at him and angry for him. Angry at him because he still looks at me and sees a murderer’s daughter and not Ella. He always made me feel responsible for what happened although I had nothing to do with it. Angry for him because no one deserves to marry a woman he doesn’t love and be forced to have sex with her just so she could become pregnant. Even the woman he chooses will be unhappy too. He will never let her in, never let her sooth him or heal him. Never be intim

Klaus’s POV I started my day with an intense training session. I needed to pour out every ounce of frustration bottled up inside me. It’s been two weeks since I agreed to find a wife. Two weeks since my life just became a little more unbearable than it already was. I was a mess. I drank myself to sleep every night, because if I didn’t, I would stay up all night drowning in my misery. I haven’t found a woman willing to ruin her life for me yet. I haven’t even looked. Joseph and Sara suggested that they look for someone on my behalf, but I turned them down strictly. No one else needs to suffer. I know they were heart broken for me, but they were also missing their daughter so hard. They were just better at dealing with their grief than me. I hit the shower after I am done, put on casual clothes consisting of skinny dark jeans, and a black t shirt, and head out of my quarters. There was still about three hours till the ceremony started. I didn’t

Klaus’s POVShe was totally shocked by my appearance in her room. It also wasn’t helping that I was basically glaring at her.I tried to soften my features a little as I said “Joseph told me you’re not coming to the ceremony, but judging from what I just saw, I guess you changed your mind”She shook her head and said in a determined tone “No I am not going to it. Jake just wanted to teach me how to dance”“Why?” I asked in confusion.“Why what?” she asked back.She wasn’t sure if I was asking her why she wasn’t going or why Jake was giving her dancing lessons when he was supposed to be tutoring her. I found myself asking her the latter while I should have asked her the former.“Why was he teaching you how to dance if you’re not going?”She smiled mysteriously as she said “I don’t know, he came up with the idea, I guess he

Ella’s POV I was still standing where I was after the alpha left. His last words made something melt inside my heart. No one ever wished me a happy birthday before. He was the first one. It may be such a trivial thing to be so thrilled about, but to me it meant a lot. I was unable to believe that I offered myself to him. I was supposed to do that if he never found one, not right now. I have no idea why I opened my mouth. I was half expecting him to snap at me in disgust for offering such a thing, I was also half expecting him to take me up on my offer. But he surprised me and did neither. ‘Thank you for thinking about me, when I’ve done nothing to deserve such kindness from you. I don’t deserve your sacrifice for me Ella’ I can’t believe those words came out of him. He showed me a different side of him today. A side that really saw me as just Ella, and not my father’s daughter. It showed how much his struggle was real. How much he was fighting that struggle and that rage inside him
