(Acacia)Waking up, I realized that I wasn't at Jeremy's grandparents' house anymore. I was at the very same pack that I ran from. I growled when I saw Dr. Andrew walked in, and he stopped when he heard it. This is the same room I had been given before, just goes to show that you can't trust anyone, no matter how close they are to you. “Why?” I asked, almost on the verge of crying. Dr. Andrew sighed and came to sit on the bed next to me. “I am not saying that you should forgive him. That's the furthest from this. I hate him so much that I wish that I wouldn't have been a part of this. But, there's a war coming up.” Ok, that part got me, so I decided to hear him out. “As you know, the Elders gave Alpha King Elio a timeframe to change or else they will strip him of his title, it doesn't seem to be working in their favor has he hadn't changed at all. But now, he's having withdrawals, and it's making him weak. The Elders had pushed the timeframe for another three months, but even so, w

(Elio) It was difficult to get Acacia to talk to me, to have a decent conversation. Each time I tried to, she would act as if I were the worst thing to ever walk on earth. Well, she's right, but she should know that I was trying to change.At first, I wanted to fake my change, but with Storm currently indisposed, I was free to do what I wanted without him constantly telling me what to do. It's not that I was rejoicing him being dormant. Without my wolf, I was reduced to a mere mortal. It's just that my mind was finally at peace. I did miss my wolf yes, hopefully he will be back soon so that I can try to get him to tone down a bit. “Can you please say something?” I asked Acacia, who was sitting in a chair in the furthest corner of the room. It was too silent, I hated it. She glared at me as if I were disturbing her. She did have a book in her hand, but the way she was staring at the page made me wonder if she was even reading the damn thing. “I'm not here to talk to you, I'm here t

(Elio)Days passed, and Acacia was still giving me the cold shoulder. I don't even know what to do anymore, since all my attempts to get on her good side had failed. I had regained my strength, and now, I decided that it was time for me to call a meeting with the pack members, something that I had never done before. What shocked me even was when Alex handed me a stock of papers and told me that they needed to be sorted out. So, I went against my word not being one of those Alphas who waste their time away in an office, finding myself in said office doing exactly what I said I wouldn't do.I groaned as I sorted out the last file and stored it in the cabinet. I yawned and stretched a bit, feeling tired. But, I had the meeting to attend, so there was no escaping that. I yawned once more and proceeded to rub the sleep away from my eyes. I don't even know where this tiredness came from, I was actually fine this morning, but now it's the afternoon, and I was feeling a bit drained. Once

(Elio) It's the next morning that I called Lara to my office. Nashton was also here since he wanted to make sure that she was alright. As if I were going to hurt her. Acacia and Alex were also present since they wanted to be a part of the interrogation. I could tell that Lara was a bit nervous. She was shifting her weight now and then, I was good at reading people. Even when she was trying hard to keep a straight face, the twitching of her fingers as if she were hitching to fiddle with something was also a big issue here. I smirked as I got ready to ask my questions. “So Lara, you understand why you're here, right?” Lara nodded her head and frowned. “I understand, but this isn't necessary. I haven't done anything wrong.” I didn't miss the scoff that came from Acacia. Looking at her, I could see how she was glaring at Lara. “I'm not accusing you of anything, I'm just going to ask you a couple of questions, and then you're free to go.” Lara nodded her head, so I continued. “Remind

(Acacia) Austin, Jeremy, and I decided to take a walk so that I could get my mind off certain things. I still haven't made my mind up about Elio's situation. It was just too much for me to handle. Every day, he would ask me if I'm ready to give him a chance, and each time, I would refuse. I could tell that my answer had hurt him a lot, but that's his problem, not mine. No amount of hurt that he felt would ever amount to what he inflicted on me.“It's not that simple.” I replied to Jeremy's question. He nodded his head and sighed. “And you don't have any idea what you want to do?” Austin asked, I shrugged my shoulders, wishing that everyone would stop asking me that question. It was already getting rather annoying. “At first, Mesha and I agreed that we won't reject Elio, but we won't be together either. The only bond we share is that of our unborn baby. I won't stop him from being a part of him or her life. But, we can't be together.” I stopped walking, and so did they, wondering ho
