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
Ella's POVI kept wondering if I got Gabby's home address right as I had never had a reason to come to this part of the street. Asides, from going to supermarkets and schools to find the little girl, I didn't go out much. Our house was closer to the road so I only had to walk a bit to the road to find a cab. I never had to come down here.I hoped that we weren't going to get ourselves lost and waste too much time finding the house as we were already late. I realized a few minutes later that I didn't have to bother my head with worry as we found the house just as we walked down the street. Her house screamed her name and her personality I smiled as we walked towards it, certain that I making a mistake.I knocked gently on the door and waited. I could hear soft music streaming through the door and the voices of guests so I didn't have to wonder if we were at the right place again. I knew with a certainty that didn't need to be challenged even though she hadn't opened the door yet.The d
Ella's POVMelody stood before us and curtsied gracefully like the princess that she looked like. "Thank you for attending my party." She said even before her mother said anything about who we were to her.Her voice was just like her name; melodious and it sounded like angels were singing solemnly right where I was. I wondered how she would sound like if she was singing.I wasn't a witch but I could sense why the red witch wanted to protect this girl and decided we had to be the one to do it. If the ones who wanted to hurt her was from our world, it wasn't a surprise why they would want her. There was a certain glow around her that would excited the evil people in our world. Even though I wasn't a witch or wizard, I could tell at first glance that she was different.It wasn't about her voice, her manners or her beautiful face, it was her essence. She was pure and evil was always attracted to her kind.I loved the girl immediately and I vowed at that moment that I was going to do every
Kevin's POVI could hear everything Ella was discussing with Gabby from where I was. To an outsider, Liam and I looked like we were having fun sipping juice and watching the kids have fun but what we were actually doing was far from it. We were being detectives the way Ella was.It wouldn't be easy for Ella to quiz Gabby and ask her the name of the school her daughter attended if we were there. It would be awkward so we had to leave so Gabby could be fooled into thinking that she was having a harmless woman to woman chitchat with Ella instead of feeling like she was being interrogated by a family.I knew that Ella was going to ask about Melody's school the moment she had the opportunity to and she didn't disappoint me. I smiled as I listened to the women talk, knowing Liam was also doing the same."Dad!" Neo chuckled as he ran towards me, breaking into my concentration.Damn, I hadn't gotten to know the school Melody attended. I wasn't bothered too much about that as I knew I would ge
Ella's POVI took in a breath of the fresh air with more delight than I intended it to be. We were finally going home and it was a delight. It wasn't like the boys had consented to go home. If left to their wishes, we would all have had to sleep over at Gabby's house but nature had plans for them. I would have loved to blow nature a kiss if it had formed.An hour later, the boys and Melody had all fallen asleep while still watching TV and we had to pick them one after the other, carrying them out on our backs. They hadn't stirred as we picked them off the chair and carried them on our backs. I wanted to laugh at them, amused at how deeply they slept. The excitement of the day had finally hit them and it had hit them hard.We had thanked Gabby for her hospitality and she had thanked us for honoring her invite to the party. We had apologized on behalf of the boys for making her stay so late but she had told us not to bother that we didn't have to apologize for what her daughter was also
Ella's POVThe boys were back at Gabby's house. They had asked to spend the evening with Melody two days after the party and I had willingly agreed. I had my own reasons for wanting to go to Gabby's house and was glad the boys brought up the offer before me. I needed an excuse to be with Gabby and the boys always came in handy but they would see through me and know I was up to something if I asked them to go to Gabby's house first.I had been forced to take them out yesterday so it wouldn't be known that I had lied the next time they were around Melody and Gabby."Nathan. Neo. Nick." Melody screeched as she opened the door and saw them. "It's so good to see you again.""You too, Melody." The boys said.The kids took their time embracing one another while I stood there watching them. Moments later, Melody glanced up and bowed her head to me with a smile."Thanks for letting them visit, Mrs. Allen." She said.I smiled at her, feeling the need to run my hands through her hair but refrain
