Roman stared at her after she made her decision. At that moment, he regretted everything he'd done. He felt so wronged to have been mated to a human because had she been a wolf or even mixed breed - regardless of how dangerous they are, she would've known that her decision was very unfair to him. But when he thought about it again, if he were in her shoes, he would choose his mother too. " Roman. I know you care about me and I'm sincerely so grateful for your care. I never expected the kindness and the care you showed me. No, I didn't. Instead, I thought I'd always be alone with my mother and that thought seemed so bleak to me. But, with everything going on right now, I think spending time with my mother is the best" she said when she saw how he reacted to her choosing her mother. " Alright. I have no choice but to take you back." He said with great difficulty. As Elora watched him struggle to compose himself, she wondered if it could be possible that what Roman feels for her is a l
The night Elora's mother died was the night everything seemed alarmingly calm. Roman couldn't understand it but that same night he was told that his father stopped searching for Elora and has decided that Roman does not need to prove himself anymore. He demanded to see Roman immediately by the next day. But how could he go? He may not have known Giselle that much but he knew the woman was a morally driven person. He knew she had a heart of gold to have raised a human all by herself even when she was dying. But there was something else he also knew - his father must've killed Giselle. It was too coincidental for Roman to rule his father out of the list of suspects. That night, Roman watched Elora's whole world crumble as she begged her mother to get up. She begged and begged as if she was certain that her mother will hear her but...Roman knew that death had taken the poor girl's mother. He blamed himself for it. If he hadn't let his emotions get in the way, they wouldn't have wasted
Elora successfully avoided those who were looking for her to punish her for assaulting Drew and when she got to the waterfall, she sat by the rock and opened the diary. Her eyes frantically searched for evidence of her mother admitting to sleeping with Alpha Diesel and when she found it...she almost through the book over the cliff. " How could she do this?" Elora asked angrily. She could not understand what her mother was thinking when she was having an affair with a married man! It made no sense to her. The wind blew open a page and she reluctantly read its content; March 12" I have cut off ties with Diesel since he has chosen another woman for himself. I am no longer his best friend, now I'm just a member of his squad. I have been robbed of the love of my life and my mate."As Elora read these words, she felt so bad. Giselle told her that her mate was taken by another but how could that be if Roman claims that Diesel was his mother's mate? Could it be that it was a lie? Is Dies
Roman had just arrived at the school at the time Elora left the school and had learned about her smashing Drew's head with a bat almost immediately. He tried to convince his mother not to punish Elora gruesomely but she wouldn't listen. She was fuming in anger and suddenly she became so unbearable to him. " Roman if you walk out that door when I'm still talking to you-"" - what is it? Huh! What is it that you're saying right now that I should listen to?" He exploded, both his eyes flaming in fury. " What? You want to tell me that it's my fault? That I shouldn't have hidden Elora all because your son got hit on the head? He'll heal for goodness sake what's the big deal?" " The big deal Roman is that a lot of people witnessed a future Alpha being easily fallen by a human girl. Drew has become weak."" Well, that's what happens when you reject your mate. They're supposed to be your other half and the fact that Drew's father already rejected his own mate before was not going to spare
It took a good number of days for those who were attacked at Elora's "funeral" to heal. She was deemed wanted and Alpha Diesel was still finding it hard to believe that a human can control natural wolves. He had heard of things like that but they were seen as myths - even in the world of werewolves. Roman on the other hand had to postpone his leaving. He didn't tell his father why he would not be returning because he knew his father would interfere in the matter. He spent the first three days trying to find Elora but when he didn't see her and he knew his father wouldn't condone his absence any longer, he packed up again and decided to leave. But just like before, as he was putting his things in the trunk of his car, something stopped him from leaving. It was Elora. " What are you doing here in the open?" He asked but Elora silenced him. " Stop talking or people are gonna think you're mad. They can't see me or hear me." She said nonchalantly. " Let's go inside," she said watching
Roman wondered if perhaps he was really the selfish one. He spent so long thinking about it that eventually, he couldn't go back. He needed to see Elora. He needed to explain to her that the unfortunate incidents that followed them being together were beyond his control. He needed to win back her love and trust but he didn't know how he would do that - not when she barely even let him get his point across. That night he felt so defeated that he went to bed but after barely three hours of sleep, he woke up and drove straight to Blue Moon pack. Upon his arrival, the first person he saw was his stepmother. She looked extremely upset to see him but he couldn't care less. All he wanted now was a warm bath and good sleep. He would see his father later. That night he dreamt of something he always wished he and Elora could have but even in that dream, it did not work out. Meanwhile, Elora was still in New Moon pack and while she lay hidden at the waterfall, she thought about what Roman sai
" We are here to see you" Gina responded before she motioned to the mat Elora was lying on, asking if she could sit down. " This place is kind of cozy. It's really nice" she said after Elora let her sit down. She looked around to see that Elora had already made the place her own. She had her clothes neatly hung on a rope she tied to two poles. She had made a little section for bathing and a small fireplace for cooking. " Do you plan on living here? It's kind of uncomfortable don't you think?" Aidan asked. He was still standing and assessing the place. " It's quite the opposite thank you," Elora said giving him a very, " I'm offended" look." Well, what happens if it rains?" Gina asked." Well I go over there in that cave and stay there with the wolves keeping me warm," she said pointing at a small cave just below the waterfall. Since the water doesn't reach it, it was safe for them to stay there. " That's cool," Gina said with a smile and Elora watched her. Her friend had lost a l
The next day, at about 10 o'clock Elora looked over at Aidan's body as they lay on the mat, their clothes thrown over the place. Instantly she felt disgusted at herself. Ever since she got figured out her abilities, she's become cold. She's spent most of her days plotting how she would deal with those who treated her poorly that her heart became too cold. How could she sleep with Aidan? He just likes her a bit but Roman is in love with her and if she is being honest with herself, no matter how dangerous her relationship with Roman is, she cares more for him than anyone else. " Good morning beautiful," Aidan said before he placed a soft kiss on her lips. She looked over at him and found him smiling innocently at her. She shouldn't have slept with him, now she will hurt him with her next words. " Is something wrong Elora? You look upset" Aidan said still kissing her body. " You should go," Elora said, summoning enough courage in her tone so that he would know that she wasn't joking.
