Ella's POVI sighed. It was yet another confession time. I had thought I didn't have to tell Kevin and could do my investigation in secret without him knowing but it didn't seem like that was possible.I wondered why I didn't want him to know and realized that I was afraid. It was because I was afraid. I was worried he wouldn't want me anymore because I wasn't a pure blooded werewolf of the blood moon pack. I didn't want his affection for me to change and I would like to keep that secret to myself to protect myself.Are you going to lie to him?I frowned at Lucy's question, wondering why she was asking what she already knew the answer to. I wasn't ever going to lie to Kevin even if the truth killed me. I didn't think was that good of a liar anyways.Moreover, I didn't think I could lie to Kevin. He would know that I was lying and find out the truth on his own eventually. Why couldn't I save everyone the drama and come out with the truth?He had known that I was lying back then when I
Kevin's POVI watched with disgust at the corpses of the bastards lying on the ground. They were all dead and didn't think that it was possible for them to die like that. Surprise was etched on the faces of some of them and I was amused.What were they thinking? Ambushing us the way they were. They were ridiculous thinking that they could get an upper hand against us. The first time we had encountered them, we had been surprised by their presence and they had pulled a fast one on us but not anymore. We were prepared for battle and ready to give everything what it took as long as we were able to get home.Immediately we had seen them, we crouched into a fighting position and covered our noses with handkerchiefs which we had gotten ready in case we meet them again. I was super glad I was prepared this time. With the wide berth we had given them at contact and the covers on our noses, they hadn't been able to poison us with silver like before.They had also sustained injuries from the pr
Ella's POVI knew that I had been the one to suggest that we go through this path but as we kept on walking along the unknown path, I found myself wishing that I was right and it led home.I really hoped that I wasn't leading the men to their damnation. I realized a minute ago that I had made a decision as the Luna of the pack and the weight of being a leader and having the lives of these men resting on my shoulders was a huge responsibility that I didn't mind taking a break from even though I had just started.I realized how tensed Kevin must have been as he led us through the mountains and rivers to get us home, knowing that we could survive or die. It must have been a huge burden on him. I preferred being a physician than being a Luna at the moment. It was comforting knowing that I could save others with my skills than knowing I could lead them to their death with a bad decision."It will be fine." Kevin said, slipping his hand into mine.I smiled at him, hoping he was right. I was
Ella's POV"Thank goodness." I breathed as I watched the three men make their way out of the hut and restraining myself from running over to meet them as I sagged with relief.They had been in there for ten minutes but it felt to me like they were there for years. They had dust on their skins and cobwebs tangled all around them but aside those, nothing else seemed to be wrong with them."Report." Kevin said as they got closer to him. "Is there any sign of life?"Liam shook his head. "The place is empty. It doesn't seem like anyone has lived there in months."Kevin looked down, his expression sad. I sighed. He must have hoped that there was someone living here and we could wait for them to get back from wherever they went. Maybe he had told himself that they had gone to farm and we could meet them.I let out another sigh. This was why I didn't want expectations. It hurts like mad when you eventually realize the truth."Let's go. There is nothing here for us." Kevin said. "It's not dark
Kevin's POVBeing a werewolf had times that I might have wanted to be normal though those times were not common. I loved being a werewolf. I loved being a supernatural being. I loved being free of illnesses, loved the feeling as I shifted and heard my bones crunch as they change shape, loved how I felt alive under the light of the full moon, and loved the energy that coursed through my body as I sprinted across the fields as a wolf.I loved it all and at this moment, I was particularly grateful I wasn't a mere human as I traced Ella's scent through the whole land. She was my mate and I wouldn't have missed her scent even if she was lost in thousands of different scents. I had my mark on her and my wolf knew hers, I only had to be close enough to feel her out and I would find her.I doubted that the ones who had taken her knew what we were or they would have tried to erase her scent which they didn't. It wasn't as if I wouldn't be able to sniff her but it wouldn't be as easy as this. I
Kevin's POVElla was still sleeping. She had been sleeping ever since we got here. There was a stack of firewood beneath her and I wondered what they had doing to her before we got there.Four strange creatures walked out of the shadows into where she was and my eyes rounded with shock. I had never seen or read of them before."The fire is out." One of them groaned as they got closer to Ella was.We could hear them perfectly from where we were."She is taking forever to be cooked. I'm hungry." Another groaned.I sighed. Another pack of cannibals? Did they ever finish around here? I understood why the town had been empty. The people hadn't gone for greener pastures. These strange oddly looking cannibals had turned them to nutrients for their own bodies. They wouldn't eat my mate. Their last meal was their last and they didn't know it yet."Let's make another fire and let's make it hotter this time."Not on my watch. I didn't think there was anyone else. They were four of them and as I
Kevin's POVIt had been six hours that we had rescued Ella and yet she was still sleeping. I knew it was due to the stress of fighting off her attackers, getting tied to a tree and inhaling all of the gas oozing out of their skins but I couldn't wait to see her open her eyes.It had been a long day ever since I woke up and I knew I wouldn't get myself in control until I found myself staring into her eyes and drowning in them.I held her hand against my cheek, willing her to wake up. It was getting long and I was missing her already."Give her some time." Liam said as he placed his hand on my shoulder. "She will wake up soon."I glanced at the men surrounding me, their eyes filled with grief and support. I was grateful that I had them with me."Thank you.""Let me get some meat heated on fire so that she can have something to eat when she wakes up." Cephas said and excused himself from the room.Fifteen minutes later, she stirred where she was and gave out a little moan. My heart almos
Ella's POVThe men were done packing in less than fifteen minutes and I was also done with my food. I jumped up to my feet, dusting off my behind as they approached me."Are you done?" Kevin asked."I'm done and ready." I replied.He smiled, moving closer to me and slipped his hand into mine. "Okay. Good. Let's go."We continued on our journey and I was happy when we took a bend and walked away from the land. I breathed in relief, glad that I had left that place behind."If I wasn't convinced that the alpha and the luna are in love with each other, I was convinced today." Loki said. "I didn't think I had ever seen him as distressed as that.""And I do not want to ever see him that way again." Andre sighed."Thanks for praying for my safety." I said to Andre.He was praying for my safety if he didn't want Kevin to be that way as the only reason he would be distressed as he had been at that time was if I was in danger. I didn't want to be in danger anymore as well.He nodded at me, full
