Now calmed down as best as possible after that unexpected surprise, William and Ellie sat on opposite sides of the Alpha's now-broken desk. Jengo, on the other hand, was standing on the sidelines, more paying attention to his boyfriend than to the discussion that will be taking place."Okay. You have my attention. If the punishment isn't... Doesn't have anything to do with what happened just now, then what is it?" Ellie asked."Before I get to that, I need to explain myself about one thing. It sort of has to do with your judgement," William said first.Ellie became confused by that little confession. Explain himself about the punishment? How does he mean? It wasn't as though it would be anything out of line, was it? At least, it shouldn't be to him, she supposed."About that... the reason for the punishment you will be receiving is not just because of the false mate bond."Ellie grew even more puzzled by those words. "What are you talking about? Isn't it because you thought I fooled y
Jengo tried hard to not be bothered by what happened earlier. In the end, however, he couldn’t forget it. How was he supposed to forget it? When it was his boyfriend who acted that way, his boyfriend who cried out ‘mate’ at Ellie. Not only that, but the guy called her that after he had rejected her! What was that supposed to mean for him?!‘Are those two truly mates after all?’That was the only viable explanation he could think of. Why else would William act that way towards Ellie? Normally when mates undergo a rejection, they shouldn’t be able to retain that sort of closeness towards one another. Jengo would know; he was Ellie’s mate as well, and rejected her first. He knows what should’ve happened after a rejection occurred between fated mates. And yet, unlike him who was filled with disgust towards her when he saw her after the event, for William? He just jumped on her. Glomped onto her and held her tightly, even cuddling her.No matter how he looked back to that, there was no way
Days passed since that meeting. As the time went by, instead of already getting banished out of the Devorare Pack like she thought, Ellie had instead been meeting with Jen and William in regards to planning out the banishment scene. Well, rather than making 'plans' per say, it was more that they wanted to create a front for the rest of the Devorare wolves. They who believe that Ellie was getting sent to William's office to be questioned about what went on in the Liberal Pack.At times, various high-ranking werewolves were present in the meeting, or were walking right in the middle of it, to see for themselves how the 'interrogation' was going. On the bright side, Ellie was told of what happened to that pack from Jengo- both of what the Devorare Pack saw and from the reports he got prior- and managed to play along with the act as best as she could. However, since it was William and his office she had been going to to be questioned, both the Alpha and his Beta had to be hard on her whil
Ellie stretched her arms as she walked down the roat. Not to say she was content with her new situation, but she was happy enough to be out and about. No longer stuck in a cage, and no longer being held down by any pack 'laws'. 'Banishment is actually a lot nicer than I thought,' she thought. A couple of days passed since her 'exile' from the Devorare Pack. To her relief, the act was taken quite well amongst the Devorare wolves. 'Well' as in they completely bought the little act. She didn't know if it was because of how strong the aura both William and Jengo possessed or if their acting was truly that convincing, but no one went against their decision to have her abandoned into the woods. If anything, they happily chased her out, as any werewolf pack would when exiling their own. Even now as she think back on it, Ellie couldn't believe the plan worked so well on them. While a bit tired out from her escape, to Ellie, the exhausiton was worth it, for she was now a free wolf. 'As much
In the Devorare Pack, things had been normal as can be since Ellie's exile. The werewolves had been continuing with their respective training, lookouts for witches, and for Samantha, caring for the one still-comatose Nelson. As far as the healer could see, there was no improvement in the guy's condition at all. While he was not 'dead', she wasn't sure if he was truly okay per say. Still, she was the healer of the pack; it was her job to ensure the guy wakes soon.While things were as usual for most werewolves, for two..."What do you mean you didn't reject her again?!" Jengo questioned William.The Alpha and Beta werewolves were in the former's office, trying to get some paperwork done. 'Trying' to, for Jengo noticed how distracted his boyfriend seemed for the past couple of days. When he asked him why he was so distracted... he couldn't believe his ears."I mean it as I said it. These past couple of days, my mind has been filled with her, even though I clearly don't want anything to
Elsewhere in the woods, a large pack of wolves rushed on past the trees. Some fairly exhausted as they pushed themselves to keep moving, others far too tired... they were getting far behind their group or tripping on their feet. All in all, they seemed to be suffering as they ran."Keep moving, all of you! Do not dare stop until we find that stray!" Steve ordered his men, rushing on ahead of the grand majority with a couple others. They who looked back and were worried about their people, as opposed to their Beta."Beta Steve, I know how much you want to find Ellie, but you really need to-""To what? Slow down?" Steve interrupted with a snarl. "Never, Raymond! Not when the werewolf I love is suffering because of her!""But look at the state of our people! You know how horrible it's been these days for them. If you keep pushing them like this, they will collapse, and that will not be good for both our group's morale and for what will remain of our pack. Much less for the Alpha."Steve
It had been a couple of days since Albus began to stay over in the Hermit Pack. In these past couple of days, the gypsy had been checking up on Maddie, asking questions about her condition, as well as asked her parents details about both the Wolf Swap Rite and if either Maddie or Ellie had seemed off during the process in any way. Why that guy asked about how they were doing the rite- when they clearly did it as instructed- was beyond Steve's reasoning. However, he did not like how close that man had been acting towards Maddie.Not to say he had been getting jealous of Albus, but these days, seeing the guy spend so much time with Maddie really irked Steve. Even more so with Maddie had clearly been enjoying the outsider's company even more than she did with Steve! More than when they were together before this whole mess began! Almost as though she was mated with- not her assigned Beta- but with this... This highly suspicious non-wolf creature!Steve knew Albus was the reason why Maddie
Ellie was dashing along in the woods, jumping over logs and boulders in her regained wolf form. Words could never begin to describe how happy she was to run on all fours at high speed, feeling the wind blow against her fur, especially as she jumped the long distance. She knew she would've been happier to run in this form again after so long, but to actually experience it? Ellie was ecstatic.'I'm tempted to take a nice, long detour, if it means enjoying this feeling a little longer,' she thought.'That happy to run as a wolf again, aren't we?' Eliza spoke.'Like you wouldn't believe. I missed this so much. I can't wait for lunch to come. I hope I can find some nice squirrels around these parts.'She could hear her wolf hold back a chuckle at her words, almost as though agreeing with her. ‘Still, as much as I don’t want to bring down this happy mood of yours, you still need to remember our priority mission. Finding our way home.’‘I know, Eliza,’ Ellie thought, jumping over another log
