Can't I catch a break? Isn't there already enough things going on in my life right now? I don't need any more drama.My father looks me over up and down as I stand there."You look much different than the last time I saw you," he muses."Why are you here?" I don't care what I look like. I don't want to make small talk with this monster.He looks taken aback by my response. When he recovers he answers. "I came to see you, of course. To see what you've been up to all these years. It looks like you're doing quite well," he says as he gestures to my office.I narrow my eyes at him. "Well you came and saw. You can leave now," I say monotone.He wants to see what I've been up to! Well he could've googled my name instead of showing up here. He hasn't tried to contact me since I left.I'm sure he didn't even care that I left that day.I turn to the side and hold a hand out signalling for him to leave.He walks my way."Elena, I came here to make amends for what I've done," he sighs.Make am

Elena's POV I feel like I weigh a thousand pounds and my head keeps bumping like there's a DJ dropping his latest mix in a busy club in there.I groan out in pain. I hate being sick. Lying in bed with the blankets pulled up to my chin with a large wad of tissues lying next to me covered in snot, classy I know, is not the way I want to be spending my day.I texted Noah that I wasn't coming in today and he sweetly replied by asking if I wanted him to come up here and do what he does best, that being a doctor.Of course, I told him I too was a doctor and that I was perfectly capable of taking care of myself. Though, I lied. When I'm sick I turn into a big baby. I can't function properly and the last thing I want to do is take care of myself. I just don't want him to worry about me when he already has so much on his plate.I also don't want him to care for me when I've been awful to him. I've been doing everything in my power to distance myself from him until I can get my situation fig

Elena's POV"Noah please talk to me. I'm sorry."I speed up significantly to try and keep up with his long strides. "Noah," I try once more desperately.Finally, after the fourth call he halts his determined steps and slams the clipboard he was holding onto the reception counter with a loud bang. He turns around abruptly. "What Elena? What is it that you could possibly say to me right now?" He barks. I'm taken aback by his sudden outburst, but try to recover quickly."I just want to explain things. That's all." I give him my most desperate look."And why should I allow you to do that?""We've been friends for awhile now Noah and I don't want to lose this friendship. I'm willing to fight for it. You haven't talked to me in weeks and now I just need you to give me the time to explain some things, so it can all make sense," I reason.He pinches the bridge of his nose and clenches his jaw. I can see him on the brink of giving in."I promise you that I'll tell you everything. I hate that

Pierson's POVI look him up and down sizing him up. He gives me a half smile in which I don't exchange for one of my own. "You're all grown up Pierson and from what I've heard you're on your way to becoming a great Alpha," he voices in a pleasing tone.I don't say anything. I know Elena wants to work on rebuilding a relationship with him, but every time I look at him I imagine what he must've done to her at her ripe age of fifteen.It hurts to picture her curled in a ball avoiding a fist flying her way, or her lying in bed crying her eyes out, or worst of all her trying to nurse her wounds because this cruel person wouldn't allow her to see a real doctor.But what hurts the most is that he reminds me that I wasn't there when she needed me. All that time I wanted to protect her from harm, but she was facing the real harm each day in her own household behind closed doors.It also didn't help that I had broke her heart. If I would've known I would've done things differently, but I can't

Elena's POVI open my eyes and glance at the clock on the bedside table before closing my eyes once again."Good morning," comes a gruff voice next to me.My eyes shoot back open and I look to my side and see Pierson staring at me. At the sight of him the memories of last night come flooding back to my mind.A slow smile creeps onto my face. I glance down and see the mark he had created on me last night that now symbolizes our bond to one another.I turn to my side to face him. "Good morning," I softly reply back to him."How are you?""I'm good. Great actually," I say. Last night was amazing. It's something I'll never forget. Now that we have mated it's kinda odd, this new connection, I feel to him. It's not a bad one. It feels soothing, strong, and unbreakable.My wolf feels at ease and I can feel her presence more than I ever have in my entire life. Pierson smiles at me and grabs my hand before intertwining our fingers together. He places a soft kiss on the back of it and rests i
