Ella's POVThe fight was rough. I winced as I got a blow to my mouth and my lips split open but I didn't let go of the bastard I was fighting with. I wouldn't ever do that.I didn't look at my pack mates to wonder how they were doing. I had enough to deal with on my own and I was certain that they weren't having it easy as well.Thankfully, the toxin was wearing off from our system and we were able to fight back and hit harder than we had been for the past twenty minutes.As the rogues had said, the wind had been on our side and we hadn't inhaled much of the silver. It would have been disastrous if we had."Don't let them win." I heard the voice of the rogue group leader, his voice weary and panicky as he yelled commands at his men.He must have sensed that the silver was wearing off and we were getting stronger. I didn't know who the bastard was fighting with but I hoped that he was getting the beating of his life that he deserved.It wasn't Kevin he was fighting with or I would have

Ella's POVIt was time for lunch and we were all gathered around the fire, smoking marshmallows and the fishes we had caught. We weren't sitting near the fireplace because we needed the heat. Even though we slept directly under the stars with nothing over our heads and in the cold, we weren't affected by much. Our bodies naturally produced heat and kept us warm.Not everyone of us had to cook as well but we made a habit of all sitting beside the fire when it was meal times so we could talk and bond more.I chuckled to myself, wondering what the ladies at home who hated me would think if they realized that I had gotten closer to all their mates. They would almost die of a cardiac seizure."What is funny?" Loki who was sitting opposite me was the first to notice.Kevin, sitting beside me, turned towards me and peered into my face and smiled as he noticed the smile on my face. "Is there something on your mind?"I wanted to deny that nothing was funny when Loki had asked me that question

Ella's POVI sighed. It was yet another confession time. I had thought I didn't have to tell Kevin and could do my investigation in secret without him knowing but it didn't seem like that was possible.I wondered why I didn't want him to know and realized that I was afraid. It was because I was afraid. I was worried he wouldn't want me anymore because I wasn't a pure blooded werewolf of the blood moon pack. I didn't want his affection for me to change and I would like to keep that secret to myself to protect myself.Are you going to lie to him?I frowned at Lucy's question, wondering why she was asking what she already knew the answer to. I wasn't ever going to lie to Kevin even if the truth killed me. I didn't think was that good of a liar anyways.Moreover, I didn't think I could lie to Kevin. He would know that I was lying and find out the truth on his own eventually. Why couldn't I save everyone the drama and come out with the truth?He had known that I was lying back then when I

Ella's POVI knew that I had been the one to suggest that we go through this path but as we kept on walking along the unknown path, I found myself wishing that I was right and it led home.I really hoped that I wasn't leading the men to their damnation. I realized a minute ago that I had made a decision as the Luna of the pack and the weight of being a leader and having the lives of these men resting on my shoulders was a huge responsibility that I didn't mind taking a break from even though I had just started.I realized how tensed Kevin must have been as he led us through the mountains and rivers to get us home, knowing that we could survive or die. It must have been a huge burden on him. I preferred being a physician than being a Luna at the moment. It was comforting knowing that I could save others with my skills than knowing I could lead them to their death with a bad decision."It will be fine." Kevin said, slipping his hand into mine.I smiled at him, hoping he was right. I was

Kevin's POVBeing a werewolf had times that I might have wanted to be normal though those times were not common. I loved being a werewolf. I loved being a supernatural being. I loved being free of illnesses, loved the feeling as I shifted and heard my bones crunch as they change shape, loved how I felt alive under the light of the full moon, and loved the energy that coursed through my body as I sprinted across the fields as a wolf.I loved it all and at this moment, I was particularly grateful I wasn't a mere human as I traced Ella's scent through the whole land. She was my mate and I wouldn't have missed her scent even if she was lost in thousands of different scents. I had my mark on her and my wolf knew hers, I only had to be close enough to feel her out and I would find her.I doubted that the ones who had taken her knew what we were or they would have tried to erase her scent which they didn't. It wasn't as if I wouldn't be able to sniff her but it wouldn't be as easy as this. I
