Ellie practically froze when William asked that of her. She much rather not remember any more of her time in the Hermit Pack, especially not any of the good times. Remembering those will make her remember how she was betrayed. Nay... Remember when she realized she was being tricked and used all this time. She highly doubt William would even try to understand her life, even though he did save her from execution."If you're not ready to talk about your past, you don't need to force yourself to say anything," the Alpha said, much to her puzzlement. "Don't think I've forgotten about how I had to save you from death. Guess you went through even worse shit than I thought if you're this hesitant in talking about your past with them. Your face did, when you talked about your family."Ellie thought William wouldn't get any more confusing or surprising, but seeing how thoughtful he was of her? Even if it may be some scheme to get close to his pup, she didn't think the guy would ever go to this
As soon as they were done with their meal, William and Ellie returned to the pack, with the Alpha seeing the girl back to her house."Thanks again for letting me out on that hunt," Ellie thanked."Don't mention it. I just don't want you to get stuffy and give birth to an unhealthy baby," William told her.'Because the sooner I give birth to a strong, healthy baby, the better it will be for you and Jen...' Ellie solemnly thought in understanding, feeling a little hurt from the reminder."Yeah... Well, good night." Without another word, she entered her house to retire for the night.Upon seeing her enter with that false smile on her face, William did not know why, but he felt the need to reach out and stop her. It did not take long for the Alpha to realize that this must be what his wolf was actually feeling. A feeling that proved to be dangerous for him, for if a werewolf's wolf was to ever feel strongly about something to the point that the werewolf's body was to take unintentional ac
More time passed since that day. As the days passed, William had been making more visits to Ellie, as well as bringing her out of her house every once in a while at night. Each time the pair interacted- each time the guy did something to move her heart, make her feel as though she could trust him- Ellie kept having to remind herself that everything that Alpha does... They are not because he truly wanted to be close to her as a person; he wanted to get close to her to be close to their pup. To his pup... Each time she had to remind herself that, Ellie kept feeling a small twinge in her chest, as she unconsciously rubbed her womb where her baby rests.Another thing Ellie noticed about William was his scent. Though faint, her werewolf nose detected another familiar scent on the Alpha. It did not take long for her to realize who that other scent belongs to, when she looked out the window one afternoon and saw William and Jengo together. While the pair did not do anything intimate at the t
William arrived at Samantha's place, where he found the healer working away with some medicine in her office. "Samantha."Upon hearing his call, Samantha turned and was more than happy to see him, rather than surprised. "Oh, Alpha! I am so glad you're here! Please, have a seat."Taken aback by those words, William walked over to her and sat in a seat opposite of her. "Why so happy to see me here?""Well, I know you've been seeing Ellie lately, and you know I have been seeing her on a weekly or semi-weekly basis to see how she and the fetus are doing," she began already setting some slight alarms in WIlliam's head."Get to the point."At those words, the smile Samantha had on her face left, replaced by a conflicted expression. "With the baby starting to show in the middle of her second trimester- and I don't mean any disrespect to you or Beta Jen- but to ensure a smoother growth for it, you will have to spend more time with Ellie."William raised a brow at what his healer was suggestin
"Are you serious, William?" Jen asked.After half an hour of searching, William found his boyfriend in his personal training area, doing some exercises to relieve him of some stress pented up in him. The Alpha reluctantly asked his Beta to join him in his house, confusing Jen as well as made him concerned by how the request was made. Once they entered William's home, Jen's confusion has been cleared upon being given certain news. News... that made him feel perturbed."I'm afraid so," William confirmed. "Samantha told me it's to ensure the pup will be born as it should. I really want to think she's joking about it, but...""She's a healer," Jen interrupted. "She takes pride in her job, and would never make a joke about anything that concerns her patients. That includes pregnant women, and their unborn child.""Yeah..." William did not know what else to say after that. As he thought, Jen was incredibly saddened by the news- disappointed, even. "Jen... I'm so sorry.""Why are you apologi
In Ellie's house, Ellie was getting a checkup by Samantha, and was soon to be done with it. If the pregnant woman would be honest, though she knew what she told William earlier and what he told to her in response, she did not think the guy would actually send the healer here. Thankfully, with her condition, it was easy to come up with an excuse for having her here."Hmm... Everything seems fine to me," Samantha said, looking over Ellie's examination. "You said you felt a little strange earlier, but what about now? Still feel something off? You told me you didn't feel anything while I was examining you.""Well..." Ellie was feeling something... in her stomach area. She didn't know if she was really feeling her child in her move or if it was something else entirely, but considering how Samantha didn't say anything as she was examining her stomach area, she didn't know if she should say anything or not.Samantha noticed the hesitance in Ellie's expression and placed a comforting hand on
Night has come in the Devorare Pack. After spending the afternoon with Jen, William walked on to Ellie's place, far from looking forward to what he will be doing for the next four months. He had thought spending time with Jen would help him relax from the idea, but now that he was nearing his destination... his dismay returned.'Four months... I have to deal with that damn mutt for the next. Four. Months...' he thought, letting out an annoyed sigh. 'One hour... I really HOPE I can be away from her for at least one hour a day. Be with Jen in that time to fight against the mate bond, prevent it from growing any more than it already has.''Even though your pup needs you now, you have the nerve to even think this?' Liam judged, increasing William's irritation.'You again? I don't know if I told you before, but you're really turning into a true thorn on my side here,' the werewolf thought with a low growl.'I'm not being a thorn; you're the one who keeps denying the mate bond. How much lon
William was sleeping peacefully throughout the night, when he heard some strange sound. Waking up, he looked around, finding himself in an unfamiliar environment.'Where the hell-? Oh, that's right... I'm now sleeping at Ellie's,' he remembered, running a hand across his face. He heard more of the sound that woke up and turned to the source, which was nothing than Ellie, lying on her side in bed, twitching and breathing funny.The Alpha walked into her room with a raised brow, wondering what the noise was about. Once he got close enough, he was puzzled to see her crying in her sleep, as well as realized that her funny breathing was nothing more than her grunting.He became worried for the female werewolf and shook her awake. "Ellie. Hey, Ellie. Wake up," he called.Ellie jolted up with a light gasp, panting slightly. "O-Oh... It's just a dream..." she muttered, lightly rubbing her eyes."You want to talk about it?" William asked.It seems Ellie was still half-asleep when she woke, for
