Last Chance   Chapter 23
Elena's POV I feel like I weigh a thousand pounds and my head keeps bumping like there's a DJ dropping his latest mix in a busy club in there.I groan out in pain. I hate being sick. Lying in bed with the blankets pulled up to my chin with a large wad of tissues lying next to me covered in snot, classy I know, is not the way I want to be spending my day.I texted Noah that I wasn't coming in today and he sweetly replied by asking if I wanted him to come up here and do what he does best, that being a doctor.Of course, I told him I too was a doctor and that I was perfectly capable of taking care of myself. Though, I lied. When I'm sick I turn into a big baby. I can't function properly and the last thing I want to do is take care of myself. I just don't want him to worry about me when he already has so much on his plate.I also don't want him to care for me when I've been awful to him. I've been doing everything in my power to distance myself from him until I can get my situation fig
Last Chance   Chapter 24
Elena's POV"My life is a little complicated right now and I wish now more than ever that you were here so I could talk to you," I whisper.The light breeze in the air whips my brown locks to the side. The smell of the coming winter lingers in the Seattle air. I grab the sides of my black coat and pull it tighter around me in a futile attempt to keep the cold air from touching my already trembling body.I look at the marble stone and run my fingers along the white, engraved words that read, 'In Loving Memory of Jessica Danvers April 15, 1968 - October 21, 2009, Beloved wife, mother, daughter and friend.'A lone tear drips down the side of my face. If she were here I know she would've told me what to do. Noah hasn't talked to me in weeks. When we work together it's strictly business. I attempt to make friendly conversation or get him to talk about what happened, but it's to only to have him tell me he has to get back to work or he's busy.I miss him. Right now he's treating me like a
Last Chance   Chapter 25
Elena's POV"Noah please talk to me. I'm sorry."I speed up significantly to try and keep up with his long strides. "Noah," I try once more desperately.Finally, after the fourth call he halts his determined steps and slams the clipboard he was holding onto the reception counter with a loud bang. He turns around abruptly. "What Elena? What is it that you could possibly say to me right now?" He barks. I'm taken aback by his sudden outburst, but try to recover quickly."I just want to explain things. That's all." I give him my most desperate look."And why should I allow you to do that?""We've been friends for awhile now Noah and I don't want to lose this friendship. I'm willing to fight for it. You haven't talked to me in weeks and now I just need you to give me the time to explain some things, so it can all make sense," I reason.He pinches the bridge of his nose and clenches his jaw. I can see him on the brink of giving in."I promise you that I'll tell you everything. I hate that
Last Chance   Chapter 26
Pierson's POV"They're going to come after us sooner than what we expect sir," one of my men say to me.My eyes scan the reports my investigator has set before me for the third time. Why does this have to happen now? I'm just getting Elena back into my life.Although, this time I'm not going to cut her out. I can't. It would hurt the both of us too much. I need her in my life, so I'm going to do everything I can to keep her there."How many?" I direct my question to him.His lips set into a thin line hinting that the information that I'm about to hear is not going to be pleasant. "We don't have a specific number sir, but the army is much larger than it was then. Maybe even double in size."I nod my head. "And the leader?""My guys are still working on finding him, but we had no such luck. He and his pack are good. Whenever we have a lead on them it's like they know and throw it off. From what we have gathered they have taken down several more packs around us."I slam a fist on the tab
Last Chance   Chapter 27
Pierson's POVI look him up and down sizing him up. He gives me a half smile in which I don't exchange for one of my own. "You're all grown up Pierson and from what I've heard you're on your way to becoming a great Alpha," he voices in a pleasing tone.I don't say anything. I know Elena wants to work on rebuilding a relationship with him, but every time I look at him I imagine what he must've done to her at her ripe age of fifteen.It hurts to picture her curled in a ball avoiding a fist flying her way, or her lying in bed crying her eyes out, or worst of all her trying to nurse her wounds because this cruel person wouldn't allow her to see a real doctor.But what hurts the most is that he reminds me that I wasn't there when she needed me. All that time I wanted to protect her from harm, but she was facing the real harm each day in her own household behind closed doors.It also didn't help that I had broke her heart. If I would've known I would've done things differently, but I can't
Last Chance   Chapter 28
Elena's POVPierson's eyes are practically bulging out of his head and he seems to be looking everywhere but at me.Did he...did he just tell me he loved me?Oh my gosh. He loves me. I look at his face and he looks almost scared. I've never seen him like this before. Usually he has this overpowering confidence that emits from him each time you're in his presence, so seeing him like this is completely new to me."I...I'm sorry if it's too soon. If you don't feel the same I g...get it. I know you still have issues you still need to resolve with Noah, but I won't take it back. Just know that I do and...yeah," he stutters adorably. My face breaks out into huge grin. You know the one that if kept too long it'll make your cheeks hurt. I jump at him and wrap my arms around his neck. He's completely stiff and unmoving with his eyes looking like they'll pop out of his sockets once again. "I love you too Pierson," I whisper softly into his ear and those words couldn't be any more true. I ne
Last Chance   Chapter 29
Elena's POVI open my eyes and glance at the clock on the bedside table before closing my eyes once again."Good morning," comes a gruff voice next to me.My eyes shoot back open and I look to my side and see Pierson staring at me. At the sight of him the memories of last night come flooding back to my mind.A slow smile creeps onto my face. I glance down and see the mark he had created on me last night that now symbolizes our bond to one another.I turn to my side to face him. "Good morning," I softly reply back to him."How are you?""I'm good. Great actually," I say. Last night was amazing. It's something I'll never forget. Now that we have mated it's kinda odd, this new connection, I feel to him. It's not a bad one. It feels soothing, strong, and unbreakable.My wolf feels at ease and I can feel her presence more than I ever have in my entire life. Pierson smiles at me and grabs my hand before intertwining our fingers together. He places a soft kiss on the back of it and rests i

Elena's POVLaying on the bathroom floor, feeling nothingI'm overwhelmed and insecure, give me something I could take to ease my mind slowlyJust have a drink and you'll feel bet...I stop my, what I know to be, horrendous singing and look to the bathroom door. The sound of feet shuffling just outside of it has me wondering who it may be. I smile and hurry to finish the last strand of hair I was just straightening. The sound continues. What could Pierson possibly be doing? I unplug the straightener and give myself one more once over in the mirror and open the door that leads into my bedroom.The lights are all switched off and the curtains closed. I can hardly see anything. I don't remeber having it this dark before I headed into the bathroom."Pierson," I call.No one answers, so I make my way to the light switch near the door.As the tip of my fingers touch the little white object I am hurled back with a firm hand being placed over my mouth that muffles my automatic scream.

Last Chance   Epilogue
5 years later...Elena's POV"Ok I think that's everything for me," I say.I slam my suitcase shut and slap my hands together to rid the imaginary dust from my hands.I then place them on my hips and smile at the view that's in front of me."Honey what are you doing?" I laugh.A small giggle comes from the other suitcase and two big green eyes peek out through a thin opening.I move closer to the suitcase and the giggles grow louder. I lift the top up and scream, "Peek a boo!"The child jumps out of the suitcase and lands on her back laughing at what she finds to be hilarious.I can't help but join her. Her laughter is too contangious.As our laughter begins to die down the door to mine and Pierson's bedroom opens. The sight that comes before me takes my breath away just like it always has and for what I feel always will.My husband slash mate stands before us in all his glory. His dark hair is tousled and his green eyes sparkle spectacularly. He crosses his arms over his broad chest g
Last Chance   Chapter 35
Elena's POV I look over my work and nod in approval at my handy work. I just finished bandaging the last wound from the fight."Thank you so much Elena," the pack member says as he hops off the medical bed. "No problem," I say. He then walks off to the rest of the pack. I look around and admire all the members that Noah and I have been taking care of, that risked their lives in today's fight. These loyal men and women have a special place in my heart. They are my new family and I couldn't be happier.A strong hand rests on my shoulder and turns me around. I am met with Noah's soft brown eyes. He gives me a small smile in which I return.I then pull him to me and hug him. He's tense at first before he relaxes and returns it.When we release each other he speaks."Elena, I'm so glad you're okay. I was so worried about you."My heart warms at his words. "Thanks Noah. I'm glad you made it out ok as well. I don't know what I would do if I didn't see your smile everyday when I entered the

Pierson's POV Joe continues to walk my way, but he soon stops a good twenty feet away from the spot where I currenly stand. Coward.His expression is morphed into satisfaction and his eyes gleam with glory. He makes me want to go over there and punch his face in. "Well Pierson, how are you my boy?" His voice is smooth and taunting as the words fall through his mouth. I grit my teeth not saying a word. He just wants a reaction out of me.He smirks. "I'm not one to dance around the point, so let's get straight to it." His eyes turn into slits and his lips form into a smirk."You seem to be in a bind right now and I want nothing more than to help you," he muses sarcastically."Where's Elena?" I don't care how bad of a situation I am in. My mate may be suffering right now and that's my first priority. The corners of his lips lift up further into a smile. "Why my daughter is just fine and dandy.""For now that is," he adds cryptically.At that my blood runs cold. I'm gonna kill him. Mar
Last Chance   Chapter 33
Elena's POV "Make sure you stay low," I whisper.Rachel nods and ducks further down. Since I stitched her up she seems a little more fired up.She's still extremely feeble and I know there's no way she'll be able to shift into her wolf if need be. Especially since that powder could still very well be in her body and making its way through her system at a rapid rate.Let's just hope we both can get out of here unscathed before the effects get any stronger.I move along the length of the wall listening to any movements or voices near by. So far, we have moved down from the third floor and now are trying to find the way out of the second floor.Wherever we are, is massive. Doors upon doors line the hallway and every time we turn a corner a new hallway appears. Considering the fact, that we have no idea where we are or how to get out of here, I think were doing pretty well. We've managed to avoid running into anybody, so that's a win in our books."They'll be here soon, so be ready," som
Last Chance   Chapter 32
Pierson's POV "Get everybody in the meeting room now," I bark at one of my strategists as I hussle down the stairs.I walk quickly and push through the tall wooden door that leads to the room.A few people are already here. They were probably discussing some things before I barged in.I pace the front of the room and wait impatiently for my team. A few flood in at what seems to me a tantalizing slow pace. It makes me grow more irritable."Pierson what's going on?" Jake asks as he sets foot into the room. He moves to stand in front of me.I look to him and brace myself for the scene that will probably take place once I tell him about the girls. I know how he is. He becomes irrational and doesn't listen to anybody when he's mad or upset."Rachel and Elena are gone Jake," I start.His expression morphs into confusion clearly not getting the problem."Ok. Where did they go?"I sigh heavily. Come on Jake. "They were taken. Most likely by the rogues," I answer calmly.His face pales consid
Last Chance   Chapter 31
Pierson's POVI look at my phone for the hundredth time in the past hour.When I see that there's still no reply I can't help but get a little worried. I've texted Elena a few times and it's uncommon of her not reply in the hour within it being sent.I look at my watch resting on my left wrist and scrunch my face together when I see that it has been triple the amount of time it usually takes her to reply. I wish she would just send me a quick text. I know she may be busy working, but I can't help the unsettling feeling in the pit of my stomach.Something has been feeling off all day.I need to cut things shorter than usual. "Ok, let's call it a day," I call.At once the sparring stops and my men in their tired and sweaty state move their eyes to my position.We've been training for a few hours now, so I know they are grateful for the early departure.I check my phone again and start to move towards the direction of the house. Before I get too far I see jake huddled by a tree looking
