As much as I would have liked to put my mind at ease after hearing that from Samantha's very own mother, I simply could not bring myself to do so. It was like I was not going to feel any better until this day had passed, until Samantha had shifted and we had nothing to worry about. It was going to be something that was easier said than done, since I had no idea what the time was. It felt like this day was turning into a week, even though I knew that that was not the case. It just felt that way to me. "Well, if there is nothing else that you would like to share with me, then I believe that your reasoning for being here is gone. You can go back to your own home." I made sure that I started to make my way to the front foor once I had finished speaking, so that I would be able to open the door for them without being forced to face any difficulties, or without them sticking around here for longer than I needed them to. But of course, I should have known that it would not be as easy as
I had to admit that that was the last thing that I had been expecting Elijah to tell me. And even though I did not really want to admit it, I knew that it was quite serious. But I didn’t feel like it was a requirement for me to take responsibility for it or to try and iron things out - not when it felt like my head was about to explode, or like someone was trying to rip out my spinal cord. I knew that there were people who would believe me to be nothing short of dramatic, but in all honesty, it was something that I did not care for. The fact of the matter was that I was more than able of distinguishing the intensity of my own feelings and emotions. And if for some reason someone thought themselves to be in a position where they were able to decide whether or not what I was feeling was valid, then I would make sure of the fact that they were held accountable for any decisions that they proved to make. Although, as I was spiralling down this pit of hatred towards no one in particular,
I had to admit that I did find it difficult to leave Samantha alone, because I knew that she needed me. But there was just too much that was going through my mind, too much that I needed to process before I would be able to make an informed decision about what I was going to do next - because that was what needed to happen. Whether I liked it or not, I was going to have to do something about it. I couldn’t just leave this situation to pass until something happened, because that was asking for trouble. It was like I was opening the door to it and serving it on a silver platter. I was on my way to Gwen, but I had reached a point where I was no longer sure whether or not it was going to be a good idea for me to do so. As far as I was concerned, this was a matter that I neededd to handle on my own. But how did I do that when it was a matter that I considered to be a personal one, especially when Gwen had been fulfilling the actual role of being my Beta for the last few months while we ha
Even though I had been sleeping, I was instantly aware of the fact that there was someone who had come into my house. I almost couldn't believe it, I knew that I needed to act fats. There was a chance that whoever was in my house did not mean any harm, but even so, it was a risk that I was not willing to take. I was going to make sure that I was not caught off guard by what was happening. I knew better than to allow that. Luckily for my sake, my house was only one story, meaning that there would be no risk for someone to be hiding from me. After all, I knew my house like the back of my hand. "Gwen?" The moment that I registered that whoever was here with me knew me, the threat level descreased substantially. I did not know why there was someone here, especially not when today was my day off, when I had spent the whole night working in order to deserve this day off. I might not have been on duty in the same way that I initially should have been, but that did not change the fact that
I could tell by the expression on her face, that Gwen was having a hard time with what was going on. I could not help but wonder whether or not she had been sleeping after all, despite the fact that she had been by me mere moments after I had come through the door. But perhaps she had been under the impression that I was an intruder. It would serve as a good explanation for it. “Why would you need a warning?” I decided that I should have started off by telling Gwen the full story of what had happened. It might not have been an ideal, but it would have meant that she would have understood what was going on without leaving me feeling as frustrated as I felt now. “Remember, I called you to find out whether or not you had spoken to Luke? Well, I hadn’t actually phoned you for that, but do you remember?” How could she not remember? After all, I had also roused her out of her sleep when I had phoned her for that, and she had been perfectly capable of reporting what was going on to me. S
Even though I didn’t want to admit it, I knew that Gwen had a point with what she was saying. The only way that I would be able to get to the bottom of this, would be to go to his previous pack, and take matters into my own hands. But I knew that doing that carried a big risk in itself, especially since showing up in another pack was something that could be considered as an attack. But what choice did I have? All that I could hope for, was that I would be able to explain myself. It was as simple as that. “What do you suggest I do?” Considering the fact that Gwen was the one who came up with this solution, I guessed that the best thing for me to do, would be to find out what else she thought of in that moment. I wanted to consider all of the possibilities, and I wanted to make sure that I did not leave a single thing to chance. Especially not when Luke needed to be watched like a hawk. “I suggest that you do not travel by vehicle. You’ll get there faster if you shift, and travel tha
When Alpha Elijah left my house, it was something that I was incredibly grateful for. He might not have understood the urgency regarding the situation, which was something that I considered to be quite difficult to comprehend, since he was the one who had come to me because of this problem in the first place. Surely, he knew that he could not be wasting time, just standing around here when he could already have left. But, I understood why he wanted to go and tell Samantha that he was leaving. We might not have been given any solid indication that the two of them were mates, but the more that I witnessed the two of them together, the more accepting I became that it was the norm. I would be more surprised if the two of them didn't end up being mates, than I would be if they were. I just hoped that Samantha wasn't taking advantage of their bond and using it for her own personal desires. It was something that had crossed my mind earlier, and I had known that it would only be a matter of
I could not deny the fact that my mind was running at a mile a minute, trying to figure out what I was going to say to Samantha, and how exactly I was going to deal with what was going on. I knew that I needed to handle the situation carefully, even though I didn't feel the need to be cautious around her. If I had a choice in the matter, I would have taken her with me. But I knew that doing something like that would only make my trip to her previous pack harder than it was already going to be. For starters, she would slow me down considerably. As I approached my house, I could not help but wonder how Samantha would react to the news that I was going to be leaving. Would she be happy that I was going to be gone for a few days? Or would she feel the same ache in her chest at the prospect of being seperated from me, just as I felt for her? I hoped that it would be the latter of the two options, for I did not think that I would be able to deal well with the fact that she did not even fee
