Ella's POVDinner was ready, the house was clean courtesy of my hardworking boys and the boys were happily munching on their rewards. I hoped they wouldn't mess up the whole place tomorrow again as there were a lot to do which we planned to start on tomorrow and I couldn't afford to clean after them every time. I didn't have the time to spare and I was going to get drained."You should eat your food before it gets cold, boys." I warned them."We will." They replied, still munching on their cookies and leaving their food untouched.I sighed, hating that they were going to have to eat their food in its cold state but there was nothing I could do about that. It had been no one's fault that the food had gotten ready at the time they finished tidying up the room. They had been slow with what they were meant to do but it was worth it as the house was in a much better state than it had been when their father and Liam had entered it.I couldn't blame Kevin for giving the boys their treats eve
Ella's POV"We'll be late, boys. Let's hurry." I said as I dressed the boys and exasperated at how they kept playing and delaying me."Where are we going?" Neo asked."We are going to have fun.""Yeah!""Let's go or we will be late.""We won't be late.""We are already late." I told them, exasperated with the banter that we had going on. "I won't have the time to buy the cookies I promised you if we get late.""Don't be mean, mum." They grumbled."I'm not being mean, I'm late." I sighed."Go and dress up, mum. We will be ready before you are." Neo said and they all ushered me out of their room."Where is my other shoe?" I heard Nathan ask as I walked towards my room to get ready and hoped that they were right and would be done before I was ready.I already had my dress ready and I was done in minutes. I was amazed when I walked out of the room and saw the boys already dressed and in the living room chatting with Liam and Kevin."You boys are already ready?" I asked, smiling as I walke
Ella's POVIn three days, we were done searching all the private schools in the neighborhood and it was left for us to search the public schools. I had a huge frown on my face as I left the last private school with the boys and didn't find the girl.I had had a tiny hope bubbling in my heart that we would be able to find her in a private school. After all, why would assassins want to go after a girl who wasn't from a rich family? Not that I was being judgemental but I didn't expect that the young girl with the supposed dramatic ending to her life was going to be an average Joe."Mum, are we going out today as well?" Neo asked as I got them ready."Yes. Let's get ready on time." I replied, pulling Nathan's t-shirt down his head.I had been buying them the cookies they wanted and loved so they had been amiable for the past two days and hadn't been rude to any other principal. Asides that, I had given them a tongue lash and long lecture on their attitude after we had left the office of t
Ella's POV"You shouldn't have done that." I said to the boys as soon as we got home."Mum," he groaned, trying to argue.I raised a finger up at him and shook my head. "Don't give me that, young boy.""He needed a lesson, mum. You can't blame Nathan for giving him what his parents neglected to give him." Neo sighed, looking at me as I was the villain here."Yes, mum." Nick added. "He should be commended as a hero and not you rebuking him like a thug, mum. You saw how the students at the school clapped for Nathan. Why can't you be like that?"I sighed. This wasn't what I was hoping for."You could have been in trouble." I reminded Nathan, staring at him. "Why wouldn't I be mad at you when you could have gotten yourself in trouble?""I'm stronger than he is. I'm a werewolf and know I could have beaten him up." Nathan insisted, a stubborn set to his jaws."Which is why I'm rebuking you." I sighed, settling in on one of the chairs in the living room. "You could have gotten him injured an
Ella's POVI was in a panic all through the day, afraid of what was going to happen at the end of it. I couldn't sit still. I knew Kevin and Liam were also afraid but they didn't have their fears boldly written on their faces like I did. They were masters at pretending to be calm and I didn't think I could ever get to that level that they were in. I just couldn't, no matter how hard I tried to reach it.I should have known this was coming soon when Nathan had flown into a rage and beaten up that boy over his refusal to apologize. I should have prepared for this day if not that I had been distracted with finding the girl as soon as we could.I wondered what kind of mother I was becoming if I was willing to let my kids be a nuisance around here. I was a werewolf mother with werewolf kids living in a mortal world, I shouldn't have forgotten about a day like this."What was wrong with me?" I muttered softly under my breath."Now, you are being too hard on yourself." Kevin said.I glanced
Ella's POVKevin told me everything that happened when I woke up and I sighed. It seemed like living in the human world was going to take on more toil than I had expected. There wasn't how we could stop the boys from yelling the house down next month when the full moon is near unless I was willing to gag their mouths while they shifted and I wasn't ready to do that.I wasn't about to give my boys the trauma they couldn't deal with."What do you think of?" Kevin asked as he walked behind me while I was making dinner.I jumped, smiling as he wrapped his hand around my waist. "Hey! Don't sneak up on me like that.""You know you love it. You can't be playing hard to get now, Ella. We are mated.""Do you have to make me repeat how many times I want you so you know I do? You know I wasn't playing hard to get." I chuckled."Yes. Yes. I want you to keep telling me how much you love me so I can know. I don't know so please tell me.""You are too old to have me stroke your ego." I fired back at
Ella's POVOh! I needed a break. I needed to feel the breeze move past my face. The house wasn't stuffy as the air conditioner was working and the whole apartment was cold but I wanted to be out still. I needed the fresh air on my skin and in my lungs. I wasn't going for a run so I wouldn't be able to get the breeze flying past my hair and flowing fast and hard into my nostrils as I wanted but I was going to take what I wanted for now.I was sure Lucy wouldn't mind as well. She must definitely need the breeze more than I did. She hadn't been out in days so I knew that she was feeling more cooped than I was. I knew what was making me antsy due to the many unsuccessful attempts to find the girl and the time was ticking. We were already here for more than three weeks and this was starting to feel like a fruitless vacation to me. I was starting to think that the red witch had given us the wrong map and had been wrong with either the destination address to where we were going or we had the
Ella's POVOh! The walk was great. I had enjoyed feeling the breath on my face and my bones felt stretched. It was getting late and I didn't want to stay out too late. I had heard a lot of the dangers of staying out late in the human world especially for a lady walking alone in the dark. Even though I knew I could protect myself, I wasn't willing to take the risk of getting attacked. I didn't want to generate the attention that would come if people saw a young lady flipping off an attacker on his back without efforts.I walked back to the house and saw a silhouette hanging around the door. I wondered who that was again. Was today a day for everyone of them to come and check us out? I wondered if I had to consider giving the neighborhood gossip an allowance for the job that I didn't send her that she was doing.I walked faster to the house so I could check out who was at the door."Excuse me?" I asked as I walked behind the person I could tell was a lady now.She turned and I gasped as
