Kevin's POVI was back in Oscar Nelson's courtroom again but this time, it wasn't because I was in the trouble. I was out talking with Liam when a guard had come to tell me that the alpha would like to see me.I had left with Liam and the moment I met Ella in the room, I could guess what this was about."Good day, Oscar Nelson." I greeted as I walked into the room."Welcome, Alpha Kevin. You should sit." He said, pointing to a seat. "Your beta should also sit."Ella was already seated and I smiled at her as I sat beside her. Liam sat at my other side, leaving me in the middle."I heard you called for me." I said, eager to know what this was all about and get it over with."I called for you."The plague was over and all the infected patients had been healed. If he had called us to thank us for what had happened and what Ella had done in regards to finding the cure, I hoped he could get on with it quickly and let us be done. I had already planned on going home in the next two days thoug
Kevin's POVThe party was a blast. I was having fun. I was surprised when I saw Luke at the party but I wasn't too surprised. After all, he was Oscar Nelson's son and he wouldn't have been allowed to stay indoors while everyone in the land was having fun.I didn't care about his presence but I would appreciate it if he stopped glaring at me. I wasn't his problem so he should stop acting like I was it.If he couldn't enjoy the party, then he should be gracious enough to leave and go back to his room. He didn't have to be here. He could have just stayed in his room and stopped ruining the mood here. If his glares were any effective, everywhere around here would be ice cold.I flashed Luke a chill smile and chuckled to myself when he narrowed his eyes at me and glowered. I could tell he wanted to bash my head in but couldn't as his father was watching him just as he had his eyes on me. That would have been fun to watch, hoping he would lose his cool and be grounded to laugh.I would be h
Liam's POV"It's time for us to leave." Kevin said to Zeke who had been embracing his daughter for an eternity and seemed like he was going to be there with her in his arms for another century if he wasn't pulled away from her."I know." He groaned. "I just can't seem to let go of Ella yet.""You can follow us." Damien suggested. "After all, we are going to your house.""I wish I could but I have a meeting with Oscar Nelson." Zeke replied.Kevin cleared his throat. The soldiers who were going to escort us to Zeke's house were already here thirty minutes ago and the time was already getting wasted. We had to hurry if we wanted to get home before dusk.I glanced at the faces of the soldiers but they looked impassive because of their training I knew they must be feeling as impatient as we were.I itched to get home though I wasn't eager to live the drama that was bound to follow. I could already see Maya acting out and going crazy if she saw Ella with us, but that wouldn't stop me. I had
Ella's POVWe were home.I didn't know how I felt as I had a rush of different emotions floating in me. I had thought about this homecoming a lot, how I was going to feel and how I was going to react when I get home but now that I was here, I couldn't understand how I felt.I felt at peace that I was home finally after years of being away. I felt lonely since I had no friends who would be happy to see me. I felt scared about how they would act towards me. I felt insecure and wondered if I was going to be comfortable here. I was afraid of the future here. Heck, I was afraid of what my future here would be. I didn't want to think too much about how I felt but what was going to happen but I found myself thinking of it as we drew closer to home.I felt Kevin's hand slip into mine and I smiled as I turned to him."What are you thinking?""I am wondering how the people will react to me. You know they never liked me."He sighed, a painful expression flitting across his face. "They will learn
Ella's POV"How do I look?" I asked, standing before the mirror and turning in front of Kevin."You look amazing." Kevin replied. "This is the fourth dress you've worn today, Ella."He sounded exasperated but I couldn't blame him. He was right. I had been changing my outfit since as I was nervous of the what was going to happen today. He was wrong though. This wasn't the fourth dress I'd worn today. This was the tenth dress I had worn today as I had tried other dresses before he walked into my bedroom."Tenth." I confessed.His eyes widened in shock at my confession. "Tenth? Why?""I want to impress your father."He sighed. "You don't have to do that, Ella. I'm sure dad wouldn't mind about what you wear.""Are you sure?" I asked, feeling nervous. I was afraid that he was saying that so I could leave on time as we were getting late. It remained only an hour before we had to see his father.He moved closer to me, pulling me into his arms and folded his hand around my waist. "You are bea
Ella's POVNo matter how much I felt like I belonged here, there was always going to be a glitch and Maya was it. She was the oddity in the bliss I felt in my heart at the moment and the ruin of my happy ending.I sighed as I walked past her, wondering how long I was going to avoid her. I was grateful we didn't have to meet much but there was no how I wouldn't run into her. An instance was today when I was taking a stroll across the street to stretch my limbs. I hissed at the sight of her, wishing I had taken the stroll in my house if I had known that I would run into her.I shook my head at the thought the moment I had it. I couldn't keep running from her and avoiding her. We were bound to come close one day and the earlier we had this confrontation, the better for us.Moreover, I was the Luna of the pack and it was high time that I began to act like one. This land was as much as mine as it was Kevin's and it didn't make sense that I have to let her make me feel insecure about it. If
Ella's POVI was preparing for bed that same night when I heard a knock on the door. I frowned as I got up from the bed and walked towards the door, wondering who it was. Kevin had gone with the soldiers manning the border to strengthen the security.He had left before daybreak and I hadn't seen him today and wasn't expecting him. He wasn't expected to be here tonight. I wondered who else was at the door as I couldn't think of anyone that could be at the door but curiosity wouldn't let me stay in my room I had sent Amanda to bed earlier and there wasn't anyone else I could think of.I gasped as I opened the door and saw Kevin standing right there. My second gasp was swallowed in his throat as he pulled me forward, kissing my lips in a passionate lip lock. He moved in, closed the door behind him and kept on kissing me.I breathed when he finally let go of me. "I wasn't expecting you tonight.""I haven't seen you today." He breathed, leading me towards the bed and pulled me on his laps
Ella's POVI looked around the clinic and sighed, stretching my limbs. It had been a productive day and I was relieved that there were no more patients in the clinic.Starting the business had been a good idea and I was overjoyed everyday, knowing I had something more to contribute to the pack than a regular Luna.Kevin was coming home this evening and I was excited about seeing him. My body still throbbed and I fondly remembered how he had made love to me days ago. It had been sweet and passionate at the same time that it had brought tears to my ears. It still brought tears to my eyes at the thought of it and I blinked back the impending tears.I decided to take a walk in the garden I had cultivated behind the clinic to keep myself busy since there was no one there. It was getting late as well and I didn't think anyone would come. I locked up the clinic and walked towards the garden.It didn't take long before I realized that I wasn't alone. I heard Kevin's name and decided not to gi
