Ella’s POV
He looked exactly the same as the last time I saw him in my old pack. Same cold smile, same disgusted look. The only difference was that he was wearing a suit to blend in with the guests.
“You little girl, are so lucky. You keep surviving. You survived alpha Grey and beta Sam back when you were their slave. You survived alpha Klaus after he figured out who your father was. You survived a god damn knife to your chest!” he said in wonder as he approached me slowly.
I take small steps back to keep him from initiating a fight.
Not yet, I said to myself. I need him to keep talking as much as possible. Because once the fight begins, I won’t last long. I need to keep buying time long enough for Joseph to find Sara.
I tried to keep my voice steady as I said to him “Why are you so keen on killing me? I don’t understand. I told you that I don’t know anything other than what I already said. Why go to all th

Klaus’s POV I climb the stairs three at a time, trying to reach the roof before Ella dies. When she told me where she was, I heard the agony in her voice. She was hurt real bad I could almost feel it. I begged her to keep fighting until I reached her. The last time I begged someone, was when I begged Kate to stay with me while I was holding her dead body in my arms. I was terrified out of my mind that history was about to repeat itself with Sara and Ella. At least one of them was safe now, thank goodness. I race towards the roof in blinding speed while the thought of losing Ella almost tears me apart. I can’t handle it. She can’t die, she can’t. I reach the roof and bust the door off its hinges. My eyes find them instantly. She was trying to run away from him but he got a hold of her hair and yanked her back towards him. The second he heard me, he turned around with Ella. She was trapped, his arm around her neck, while his other arm was on the top of her head. He was holding her

Klaus’s POV I burn a hole through the floor as I pace back and forth in front of the room Ella was being treated in. Something was wrong with Sara, but Joseph wouldn’t tell me anything until we were face to face. I was repeating the same prayer over and over again. Please, goddess let her be okay, I cannot bear to lose someone else. “Klaus” Joseph said as he reached for me. “What happened? Tell me that she’s okay. Tell me that she’s alive, please Joseph” I pleaded while holding him tightly. “She’s alive. She’s still in surgery, the doctors didn’t finish yet. But she will live my son. She will be fine. We just have to wait” he said in assurance. “What happened? You told me she was fine” “You needed to save Ella, I didn’t want you to be distracted and waste time on explaining what happened. How is Ella?” he asks in concern. “She’s injured, I don’t know the extent though, they just took her inside. She had a deep wound on the side of her head and probably a broken arm, these were

Ella’s POV I’m stuck on the roof with that man. I was on the ground, bleeding and whimpering in pain, while he looks down on me with disgust and repulsion. “Are you still waiting for someone to come save you, little girl?” he asks in a mocking tone. I look at him in hatred and keep my mouth shut. Someone will come, someone will save me. He crouches and leans closer to my face as he whispers with a smile “No one cares about you Ella. Do you want me to prove it to you? Let’s stay here until the sun comes down. That is a solid thirty minutes. No one will come through those doors. Not even if we stay all night” I grit my teeth and try to grab him, but he stands up and backs away from me. He leans against the cement structure, by the door, with his hands in his pocket as he whistles an annoying tone. I stay huddled on the ground repeating to myself over and over. someone will come, someone will save me. Darkness ascends and nothing happens, no one comes. He laughs an evil loud la

Ella’s POV I gasped as I looked at him in surprise. Did I hear him right? He just asked me to marry him, didn’t he? I stare at him with my mouth open like an idiot, unable to form any response. It was just too damn unexpected. He clears his throat and says “If you haven’t changed your mind about your offer, I’d like to take you up on it. You can totally say no. I will not hold it against you” “What made you change your mind?” I asked before giving him my answer. He lets go of my hand and turns his head from me as if he doesn’t want me to see his expression, and stares at the window for a while. “I realized that you were right, you are the perfect person for this. You understand that I don’t really want to be intimate, that I am only doing this because of my duty to the pack. I will not find anyone willing to do this, to be married to me but not really. Just on paper, and just in front of the pack. You get it, while no one else will” he said firmly. A lump formed in my throat at

Ella’s POV“Good morning Ella, are you awake?”I open my eyes to the sound of alpha Klaus in my head.I check my phone and find it 9:07 a.m.I over slept again. It wasn’t really a big deal since today was Sunday, my only day off from studying and training.After alpha Klaus left last night, I tossed and turned for a long time, but sleep wouldn’t come again.Although my body and my mind were both exhausted, but my mind refused to shut up and stop thinking.I stayed awake until dawn trying to wrap my head around my decision. It wasn’t an easy one. In fact, it was the hardest most unpredictable decision I have ever made so far.There was no guarantee that I will not end up regretting it deeply.Alpha Klaus promised that he will do everything he can to make this work for both of us. When the hell did I become so trusting? Why should I believe that he will keep his promise?The old E

Ella’s POV I was frozen at first. My arms still wrapped around myself. He was a lot taller than me, I barely reached his chest. A few minutes ago he was angry, speaking coldly to me, and now he is hugging me fiercely. Goddess, his personality is so complicated! Despite the fact that I was furious with him, I couldn’t deny that the hug made my whole body tingle. It was the first time I felt something like this when being hugged. I felt my sobs disappear and my body relax, as I leaned my head to his chest and listened to his steady strong heart beat. He didn’t say anything, he just kept embracing me tightly. I loosened my hold around myself, and slowly, uncertainly, started to wrap my arms around his huge body. It almost made me feel like I was hugging an untamed animal that will turn on me any second. I was still doubting him, doubting his true intentions, even doubting my own feelings for him. The hug confused and comforted me at the same time. We stayed like this for a few minu

Ella’s POV I barely manage to get out of the door leading to the basement, before I supported my weight on the door, unable to move any more. I felt like I was struggling to breathe. Alpha Klaus’s hands touch my shoulders as he stands in front of me. “Just breathe, you’re ok, Ella. Just breathe” he says softly. I look at him and whisper breathlessly “What the hell did he mean by that?” He shook his head “I don’t know. But whatever he said was only meant to make you panic. He’s playing with you, don’t let him” Something told me; probably his cold voice, that he really wasn’t playing at all. He was telling the truth. The truth will make me wish I was dead. I take a deep breath and try to compose myself. “Are you okay?” asks alpha Klaus in concern. “Yeah. Let’s just get out of here and check on Sara” I say in a strained voice. As we begin walking towards Joseph and Sara’s place, a question comes to my mind. “Where was Sara shot?” I ask alpha Klaus tensely. “She was shot twice

Ella’s POV A minute of silence fills the place as they both stare at us in shock. I couldn’t help but notice that Sara’s shock was brief, like she was expecting it but not that fast. While Joseph was looking at us both with a hard expression on his face. It made me so nervous. He finally said tightly to me “Do you realize what that means Ella? Klaus needs to have a child from you. Are you sure about this?” “Yes, that is the whole reason we are getting married. We made a deal with each other, I carry his child and after that, we both live our own lives separately. We both do not want a relationship, and the only people who will know the real deal is you two. To the rest of the pack, our marriage is real in every aspect” “Whose idea was this?“ he looks pointedly at alpha Klaus as he carries on in anger “Don’t you think that Ella has been through enough? To put that kind of pressure on her is not fair to her at all, Klaus. Besides, she is still underage” “It was my idea Joseph. I off
