Chapter 11

Elena’s Pov

Oliver stood looking at me and the old lady in surprise. I was not only standing up to him but I stood my ground.

He looked at Ana with a glare “Who are you? And why are you on my land?”

Ana walked to a chair, taking a seat, “Young warlord, who I am is not necessary but who are you and why is your fate tied to hers?”

Oliver looked at me, then back to Ana “So…..why is my fate tied to hers?” He asked with a tone of sarcasm.

“That’s not for me to say but know that she is someone who you would need by your side,” Ana told Oliver, he stood up in anger and glared at Ana.

“Elena, you have two minutes to say your goodbye, meet me outside, and let’s go or else I will come in and drag you back,” Oliver said and stormed off from the house.

I exhaled, knowing that I had to go back, I turned to face Ana, she had a smile on her face and I instantly felt bad. For the first time in my life, I found someone who treated me like a human and helped me without anything in return.

I held her hands as tears swelled up in my eyes “Why don’t you follow us back to town? It is much better there and you can get a lot of help from me and others. I know you can do things yourself but your body needs to rest sometimes.”

She used her shaky hands to wipe the tears rolling down my eyes “You don’t have to worry about me. I will be fine, plus I can’t seem to leave this little cabin, it’s part of me now.”

I hugged her, pain shooting out of my eyes in the form of tears.

“Shh, child it's alright.” She patted my back to comfort me.

“I’m going to come visit you every chance I get, okay?” I said to her and she nodded with a smile.

“Now go before the big wolf will bring down my cabin!” She said and I chuckled at her joke. I turned to leave as she waved at me. I glanced back one last time and before I left, I heard her say “I will always be here!”

A tear dropped in my eyes as I came out of the cabin. I saw Oliver standing there with three other guards and the one who talked with me when I was in the infirmary.

Oliver turned to look at me with a smile, instead of seeing someone who loved me I saw someone I hated.

“Are you set?” He asked and I pushed past him with no words. I got into the car, sitting at the extreme. The trip started and the further we got away from the cabin the more eyes flowed down my eyes.

I stared at the window all through the ride back and I eventually fell asleep.

*******

Hours later, I felt someone trying to lift me and I opened my eyes to see Oliver and I was being lifted by him.

“Drop me down, I can walk,” I told him coldly

“But you were asleep.” He said to me

“Drop me!” I repeated. He stared into my eyes for a while before he proceeded to drop me down. I quickly arranged myself and my clothes and walked into the pack house, fully ignoring him.

I walked to my room and slammed the door shut, as I lay on the bed. The events of everything that happened since I met him flowed back.

“Ahhhhhh…..I hate him so much!” I yelled out. Just then the door pushed open and the one person I never wanted to see stepped in.

“What are you doing here? Please leave.” I said to him and his face fell.

“Elena, can we talk?” He said in a soft tone.

I threw my face away, refusing to even look at him “No, so please leave my room. I want to take my bath and rest. Today had been a hectic day.”

He sighed “I know you are angry but you ran away from the pack. You went missing for over two weeks and you were injured. For crying out loud, I thought you were……dead!”

I paused, looking at him but remembering why I ran away in the first place, I got angry.

“You caused it. I was running away from the pain you caused. I don’t know why you changed your mind but please, leave me alone. I will always be rejected by you and that’s all” My voice is firm, eyes staring straight at him.

I pointed at the door “Please leave!” I said to him. His shoulders dropped in sadness, his eyes filled with guilt but what I felt was anger and pain.

“Fine, I will leave but I won’t stop trying to get it right with you,” Oliver said, he then turned to leave. The door shut behind him and all my guards came crashing down.

I cried so hard that I had no more tears to pour out. The pain I had to feel alone, was the worst thing I had ever experienced. My chest aches so badly that I couldn’t breathe any longer as I prayed for the moon goddess to put me out of my misery.

I sat on the floor crying for about an hour before I got up and walked into the shower. I took my bath, washed my hair, and washed out the dirt from my body.

I changed my clothes for nightwear and I went straight to bed without any food as I had no appetite to eat.

Third pov

A girl wearing a silver gown stared into the moonlight. She radiates power and strength. She inhaled the air around her and stared up into space.

Someone appeared behind her, her eyes moved to that side acknowledging the person’s presence.

“So…..is she back?” the girl asked

“Yes Luna….she is.”

Her hands clenched into a fist and her eyes squinting anger, “I guess our work was not yet done.”
