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 herself
Her 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.

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
Joan fell back on her seat, powerless and drained, she glared at the boss wishing there was something she could do to harm him, at first she thought he was a good but messed up individual but apparently he is not, he is just cruel, and bad and she pitied him. He could have been a good friend or a leader if he was not that messed up.“I hate you, you are not worth loving” Joan told the boss“I said that is enough Joan” Loris told her friend who was breathing heavily, she was past annoyed at this stage and the boss was past angry“You have no right to judge me, you had everything given to you when you demanded for it, you never had to struggle to get what you wanted, but people like us are hopeless, cast away because of the sins of our parents, do we really had to been at the receiving end of this?” The boss asked“No,
Lucas had to use his spare torchlight and his wolf seeing ability to know where he was going to, he entered a cell and could immediately smell blood stench and wolfsbane.“Stop there” A cold voice told himHe directed his touch light to the direction where the voice came from and light was shown back to him, he saw the one holding Tina with a knife under her throat. Tina had to rely on her captive’s leg to remain kneeling so she won’t fall over.“Release her” Lucas told the one holding Tina captive“You should not be telling me what to do, I am the one in power here” Yales informed LucasLucas knew he was right, he had to be real careful with this one, he was a smart one. “Why don’t we fight as real men eh?”Yales laughed at that “Do you think I will fall for that?”“Show your strength through that, not with knife on her throat, I am sure you were taught more than that pup” Lucas said, now he have to use anger to get what he wants“What did you just call me?”“You mean, a PUP?” Lucas
Ellie could not take it any longer as she sat there doing nothing, Dora could not even allow her concentrate as she still stood by the window, Mrs Black had tried to beg Dora to leave the window but she persisted to stand there and keep watch. Andy had even asked Ellie to convince Dora to leave her post but Ellie knowing who her friend really is did not even bother standing up. Once Dora is determined the way she is right now, even the moon goodness can not change her mind.The Whales got there some hours back, as Ellie ordered Andy to show them the pack hospital wing. Ellie knew Lilly was in the play room for the pack children, she stood up and walked up to Dora.“They are not here yet” Dora said worried“Calm down, Dora, Lucas said they will be here soon” Ellie told her friend putting a hand on her shoulders “One thing I know for sure is that they
Ellie shrugged at Lola’s threat, not minding much about that, she turned the blade making Lola scream out knowing who should be making the threat in the situation they are. “How useful your hand will be” She shook her head in pity thinking about it “Where are you from, which pack gave birth to such a heartless monster as yourself?” “Your pack!” Lola spit at the table “You don’t even know the name of my pack” Ellie pointed out, she knew Lola will not say anything just like that. Her phone rang and she answered the call “Yes Dora?” “Loris is awake and asking for you” Dora said from the other side of the line “I am on my way” Ellie informed her and the line went dead, she removed the blade from Lola's hand with no mercy, the other lady cried in pain When Lola could speak she opened her mouth “I see the ladies are recovering, too bad I could not do as I pleased with them” “I will finish the job on you, you just wait for it, though you have no where to go, I will be back for you” El
Sebastian looked from one lady to another, they both had the same look on their face like he was the intruder, well he was the intruder here, but he won’t allow them to make him the bad guy. Loris is his friend, she should make the choice of seeing him or not. “I am here for Loris and I will love to see her, let her be the one to turn me away, not you two, don’t you think so too?” He asked them, looking from one to the other. Dora turned to Ellie for her to actually turn Sebastian away so they can carry on with their activity. But Ellie was silent as she thought hard. She stepped aside and Dora grabbed her hands. “What? You are giving him the chance to go inside? Really Ellie? You are allowing him in? Why? He shouldn’t be here in the first place, he should leave, I do t want to see him” “Calm down Dora, he is not here to see us but to see Loris, I guess the final say should be left with her, if she says no, then we can turn him away” “I am still here ladies” Sebastian reminded the
She was not the only one shocked by her words, she gave them a shrugged instead to back her nonsense. She avoided looking at Ezra and she shut the mind link so he won’t ask her any embarrassing question while she was trying to keep cool with Hattie in the room. Hattie turned to Ezra like he should see reasons to what she was about to say. “How can that be possible? You two do not even like e together not to mention sharing a room together” Hattie pointed out with a mean look plastered on her fortunately still pretty face. “That is why am moving into my mate’s chamber” Ellie’s said with a too sweet smile at both Hattie and Ezra, who looks like he was enjoying what was going on. “What?” Hattie could not believe her ears, she looked from Ezra to Ellie “I am ready to do everything to make Lilly comfort, I love her that much, I am not going to stop her from visiting you or spending days with you, she knows you as her grandmother and I have no plans on changing that” Ellie said. “Ezra?
The following morning when Ellie woke up, she was alone on bed, she wondered if Ezra even came back to the room to sleep, or was he avoiding her? The last time they spoke, he did not sound like someone that would avoid her. She got dressed for training, she still had some few minutes left to do so before the training will start before her. So she made her way out of the room and to the training ground, Gift and Loris met her right at the gate leading to the inner court of the training ground where they would be using to train.“You are awake” Gift greeted her with a bow “We were on our way to come wake you up and get you ready for training” Gift explained why she met them there“I don’t need you two to get me dressed for training, and did you have to come here first then come back for me?” Ellie questioned“Blame that
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
