Ellie could tell her wolf was very serious about what she was saying but where is the fun accepting without whining her wolf when she can now.
“Try me next month” Helen threatened
“Come, you need to sit down” Ezra told Ellie leading her back to the car, Ellie followed her with no words, she entered the back seat and sat down, resting back in her chair as she replayed the whole day and conversation with Loris.
She felt hurt as if something was hitting a hammer on her heart, she wondered how Emmett would have been feeling now.
‘‘Do you think they are safe?” She dared to ask Ezra, her face cast down her feet
“Seeing as, they were not killed instantly, I think they do not plan on killing them” Ezra said
“And why was that?” Ellie wondered aloud
No ans
Ellie watched Hattie tie the pieces of clothes together rubbed it and blew air on it, she held it like it burn with the tip of her fingers and waves it in the sky. Hattie shivered as she dropped her hand. She looked straight at Ezra with hot eyes, Ellie moved back, but Ezra must have gotten used to it. Hattie eyes were on fire. “Dark magic, I smell dark magic, they don’t want to be found” Hattie said with a strange voice “What is to be done?” Ezra asked “Hattie what is to be done?” Ezra asked again like it was necessary to repeat his question for a reason unknown to Ellie “I can only help break the barrier, only God can help” Hattie said “We can’t do much today again” Ezra said “We can set out the search tomorrow morning early enough, we are all tired as it looks now” He looked at Ellie for confirmation. Ellie would have loved to continue the search, who knows if because of their decision to rest the ladies were harm or killed, she knew Ezra was right with his suggestion, he was
The footsteps got closer and the ladies stopped talking and tried to listen, trying to stay invisible in the darkness if possible. The smell came first before the presence of their kidnappers, they smell like the cell and much more worse, Rogues! One of them brought out a set of keys and opened the cell door.“Just one of them, boss will be interrogating them after the other” One of the kidnappers said“Of course, I know, do you think I’m dumb?” The other ask with a snarl“Stop snarling at me fool, you stink” The first one said“Shut up will you, and get one of them” The stinky one saidThe first opened the door, and used his hand to search for the ladies “Put on the light now will you”Stinky put on a torch, it must be from his phone and the ladies she
Joan cleaned her mouth once again, she knew what was coming if she does not answer him, her head was still ringing from the previous hit.“Am not, none of us are elite wolf, the elite wolf are few and they are not dumb as like we are to walk unprotected” She said and prayed her voice sounded strong and convincing.He studied her for some time, Rod came walking in, the boss signaled to him and he went to pull Joan up by her hair “Take her to the room and make her talk” The boss said“Yes boss” Rod said“I just told you the truth, nothing more is to be told, you need to believe me” She yelled “Damn you all” Rod started dragging her away “Please, don’t harm me, please” She cried after Rod as he pulled her away by her hair.“God, what do you think they are doi
Ellie couldn’t be more grateful to her trusted mother and friends, she watch them going about the kitchen working, trying to get things ready for those traveling and going for the search, Dora raised her head and saw Ellie at the door, that hot her mother and Andy's attention as they all turned to her. She saw the disapproving look on her mother as Mrs Black went round the kitchen counter to meet Ellie at the door. “What are you doing up?” Mrs Black asked with a frown at Ellie “I….” She trailed off “You need your sleep, cause you won’t be getting much during the search” Mrs Black said “I am not going” Ellie informed thank and Dora dropped a spoon back on the counter, she walked to stand beside Mrs Black “What do you mean you are not going? A are you going to leave the ladies in the hands of their kidnappers? And Loris?” Dora asked in confusion and denial. “Calm down Dora and let her talk” Andy told Dora from where she was standing “Go ahead then” Dora motioned to Ellie to speak
Hattie spoke some more with Lilly over the phone, and Ellie just held herself back from collecting the phone and asking Hattie questions, she knew that the other lady will not appreciate that. And from the way Hattie was speaking, they were all fine and might not have gotten a clue to lead them to the ladies.“Can I talk to my Daddy?” Lilly asked Hattie“He is busy now Lilly”“Pretty please?” Lilly pouted holding the phone tightly“Lilly..”“Please”“Fine, but only if he is totally free okay?” Hattie saidThere was silence on the phone for some time, Ellie held her breath and finally released it when she heard his voice.“Lilly dear old lady” His voice was light“I’m not old,
Finally, Hattie was able to break through the barrier, she turned to Emmett and nodded that she had been able to break through, she motioned for them all to gather around which they did in no time.“It will be dangerous from here on, I sense traps and magical hindrance from this path, you all need to be careful and watch where you step on, it is very important” Hattie said looking at them all “The most important magic potion I’m smelling in the air is hatred and conflict, the wrong step or decision can turn us against each other and we will do their work for them”“What? How?” Paula askedHattie took her precious time to answer “We can end up killing ourselves before we get to their main hideout”Everyone looked at themselves and said nothing, Ezra nodded “What else do we need to know?” He aske
Ellie followed her father and they walked out of the building to the garden, the silence was peaceful and Ellie found comfort in her father's presence. They got to the place where there was chairs and tables under the shed, they both stood behind a chair.“Have your seat child” Mr Black said pointing to her seat“Aren’t you sleepy dad?” Ellie asked feeling wide awake herselfHer father said nothing just studied her for some times, he had his seat knowing she would do the same, Ellie had no choice but to have her seat, she picked at her nails, under the bright light. It looked as if it was still day time. No one said a word for some time, they both sat down.Ellie looked up at her father who was already looking at her, she smiled at him and he didn’t smile back nor frown, his face was neutral and set in his permanent expression.&n
It took some time for it to register in Joan’s head so she only had a few seconds to jump to her feet.“He is not taking me anywhere!” Shouted Joan, jumping on her feet but Yales was quick to hold her down, she trashed in his hands, her gown not making it easy for her to break free from him. He used the white veil to choke her throat.“Let her go!” Loris cried standing up but she felt dizzy so she had to sit back on her chair, her eyes suddenly felt heavy as she tries to keep it open.Joan was finding it hard to breath from the tight clothes round her neck, she was losing herself when the tight clothes was finally pulled off her neck and she sucked in air, lot of it that she started coughing, she held her neck which still hurt. She did not even look up at her attacker, she had to keep her breathing balanced first before she can display her madness for them, if the
Who could have thought Ottio was from the Gray pack? And to even think that the pack, Alpha Asher pack kidnapped Ella and they were waiting and getting ready for a battle? What was he thinking of? Was the other pack joining force with his pack? Was that why he wanted a battle?“So that was your pack?” Lucas asked Ottio“Yes”“Anf what was your position in the pack before you went rogue?” Emmett asked OttioOttio stared at him while he answered “The former Alpha son” He said“What?” Dora asked “You were the son of Alpha Wills?”“Yes, and Asher is my brother” Ottio said“That is hard to believe, we never heard of you nor see you anywhere around while growing up” Loris said, clearly not believing a word coming from Otti
Ella picked a gown and placed it on her body to see if it would fit her, she dropped it instantly with the killer look Loris was giving to her, no touching of goods that Emmett bought for her.“Do I look like a doctor now?” Loris smiled at Ella playfully“Oh! Come on”“Did you eat something that upset your stomach?”“Not that I can think of” Ella said, looking around the room for something she can eat, the room almost looked bared of food but Ella trust Loris, she must have something somewhere, Ella took a deep breath to fish out the hidden food and her sense of smell led her to the table beside the window and she saw a wrapped package, with the smell Ella knee it was a sandwich, she took it and unwrapped it, she took a bite and swallowed looking at Loris's direction, Loris knew it was helped to fight for her pr
Ella rushed outside and made her way to the yard that was located beside the cells. She met Dora on her way and without word after greetings they made their way to the yard together. Ella hoped nothing was amiss just yet. Ottio was seated in a chair his two hands chained to the chair he was sitting in, his waist were bruised and have different painful colors. He looked around and saw the lady she kidnapped, she saw the witch also, she was standing beside someone he knew to be a Beta who was standing protectively beside her and he got the message already. Mate! He saw Joan that looks like she will passed out anytime she was held back by two other ladies. He looked at Alpha Ezra who looked cruel, the Alpha visited his cell that morning with his mate's phones and play a recorded call for him to identify the caller. But he was silent and did not answer the Alpha's question. It was like they were going to kill him but there numbes was not complete because Alpha Ella was not
Joan sighed and turned to the others to hear from them also “So what do you guys think?” “I don’t really go with the plan of releasing him, I don’t think I can stand being in a room with him, or what do you plan to do with him after releasing him?’ Ella asked “Well, if you guys will accept him, and Alpha Ella will allow, I would love for him to join the pack” Joan said The room went quiet and they all tried to comprehend what Joan just said, it was Tina that reacted first, she hissed, her expression deadly, Joan looked at Ella she looked dumbfounded, Sophia looked shocked, Loris's mouth was still hanging wide opened while Alpha Ellie didn’t look bothered, it was just as she was expecting. “You must be out of your mind!” “Are you crazy?” “What the hell?” Tina, Ella and Sophia reacted the same time, Joan jumped to her feet at alert, in case she needs to make a run for it. “Calm down you lot” Joan yelled to be heard “Okay, I don’t want him dead!” “So you want a rogue to live amon
Ellie leaned closer to him, her face serious as she responded to what he said, she had to really hold herself in to be frank and yet sincere she had just few minutes here with him and she gave other things that needs her attention but she won’t tell him that, she checked her wristwatch then looked up at him. “How do we trust you? You are a rogue that kidnapped members of their pack, treated them badly, having plans of rapping them to produce pubs from them for your small pack” She paused “Why should they forgive you and set you loose? Isn’t that suicidal?” Ottio knew she was being mean on purpose but it was making him annoyed “I wanted to take revenge, no one should be happy when others are suffering for what was not their fault, and been lied to” Her said “Who lied to you?” She asked He went silent “If you really need my help you will open your mouth and talk to me” She made it known to him rudely “Will you really help me?” He asked “I will not tell you things now and never wak
Before Ellie could say a word the line went dead, she looked up frustrated at her mate, and he banged his fist on the table in anger, he stood up and turned his back on her. She knew he was still angry with her and she does not know how to calm him down. She have no idea of what to even say to him, so she kept quiet and walked to the bed to have her seat. Ezra started pacing the floor, his wolf was getting worked up and the atmosphere in the room was getting tensed. He finally turned on her.“You should have kept him on the line long enough for me to track his call” He told her“It does not look like he would have waited for that long evening if I kept talking, he controls the conversation” She said with a shake of her head“You could have kept him talking, you are a lady for Pete’s sake” He said“What do you me
Ellie bought herself back to the present, she gave Lilly a tug towards her as the child was feeling sleepy already “So how are you Crystal?” She asked making Lilly comfortable on her laps.“I am fine, thank you” Crystal said as she folded her arms on her chest, she sat and rest her back at the back of her chair.Ellie nodded and faced Lucas “We need to talk later, maybe tomorrow after the training, I have to go back to the Crimson pack this night” She told Lucas and he nodded in acknowledgement.Ellie stood up with Lilly deeply asleep now in her arms “Inform Gift about our departure when she comes around, I will retire now”“Yes Alpha” Lucas bowed his head a little“Leaving already?” Asked Loris as she walked in, followed by Dora and Gift from the direction of the kit
Ellie tucked the child in covering her with the blanket. She opened the book and started reading, few minutes into the first chapter, Lilly fell asleep fast, Ellie smiled at the child, she gave her forehead a kiss and made sure she was comfortable in bed.Ellie stood up and closed the book, she returned it to the table then went to take her own bath, she relaxed, allowing the water to calm her down. Her head was cooled off. She dried herself and went to the closet, she arranged the few things belonging to Lilly beside her side of the closet, she then picked her night wearing and packed her hair up in a ponytail before joining Lilly in bed, she turned off the light but left the bedside lamp, she felt Lilly turning in bed, the child drew closer to her and settled down in deep sleep.The next morning, Ellie woke up on time to get ready for the day, she went to the bathroom to do her daily routine, from
Ellie must say she was not expecting a friendly well come from any of the Crimson pack members. But Madam Jane just proved her wrong now, she felt at peace with the older lady. Jane was waiting for her response Ellie realized. So she won’t seems rude, she had to say something.“Thanks… thank you” Ellie said and her stomach took that time to growl like an animal, Ellie blushed in embarrassment while Jane only laughed.“Why don’t we ate?” Jane asked as she pulled Ellie further into the kitchen and to a similar table “I have some cakes here, Ezra, honey, go bring her something to drink” Jane was quick commanding and she was not someone you can say no to easily, you need to have a strong heart to reject her if necessary.“You look skinny girl, you have not been eating properly” Jane commented, she cut the cake and ser
