Chilli POVHappy tears roll down my cheeks as I stare at the screen showing me my little pup as she grows inside of me. "Woow..." I gasp with joy, "that's our girl, our baby!" "Yes," Elias purrs still holding my hand and now leaning in close to my face, "our precious," he says with a peck on my wet cheek. "Oh huni, don't cry, look she is fine.""I know, these are happy tears," I tell him turning to look up at his glossy eyes, welling with joy too. As Elias eyes connect with mine, I'm lost in their pure blueness and I can't help but purr, especially when his lip bush mine in a delicate kiss. My eyes close and I feel like I'm in heaven as the kiss intensifies, my purr increases in volume as the tips of our tongues start to dance together between our lips. "So, the baby is okay?" A male voice sounds, interupting our kissing. Elias pulls away to see alpha Maxwell inspecting the screen and image of our child. I feel my cheeks burning with embarrassment as the man obviously just seen us
For the first time in a long time I seem to have an uneventful sleep and for once just rest with no weird or creepy dreams and or nightmares, I wake feeling refreshed. I open my eyes to see the sun beeming in through the window and the duvet cover over me. As I stretch my sore arms out wide I suddenly realise I'm alone and Elias is nowhere to be seen in the room. Slight panic pierces my heart as I don't know where he is, just when the door to the en suite opens to reveal my mate chuckling at me. "Your so cute," he laughs at me, obviously feeling my worry through the bond, I chuck a pillow across the room at him making him laugh out loud even more. "Anyway, how are you feeling?" "Good, but hungry," I reply touching my stomach as it grumbles noisily."Perfect," he smiles at me and I tilte my head slightly to the side, wondering what he means, "because I've ordered us some breakfast.""Oh, I love you," I sigh, feeling emotional for some reason at the mere mention of food and he laughs
With a full belly for the first time in ages, I am content, happy, and well nourished.Ring ring... ring ring... The phone in the room is chiming, Elias and I stare at each other, puzzled at who it could be as it keeps on ringing.Ring ring... ring ring...Elias gets up to answer the call, lifting the hand set to his ear,"Hello?" He asks, "Oh, hello... Yes ... okay ... fine .. yes... of course... yes, thank you." And with that, he returns the receiver to its holder,"Who was it?" "Maxwell," he answers me, turning to face me, "he's asked us to join him downstairs in his office,""Oh?" I ponder,"Yes, to talk about red wolves." I honestly didn't think he would, I know he said he would but I don't really know him or what his word is worth. "Thats if you are up for it?" Elias asks as I lose myself in self thought,"Oh, yes, when?""Right now," "Jezz, wow, okay, lets go," I jump up eagerly. I wonder what he know
"Red wolves are wrote about in our earliest records, the Crane family have always been loyal allies to them from the very beginning. Where others feared them and saw them as unnatural, unholy creatures, the Crane's found the red wolves majestic and a power to be hold. Not something to hate and extinguish but something to save gaurd and protect." Maxwell tells us as I suck on the fruit flavored sweet he gifted me, which seems to be helping greatly. "The bigots and heretics sort to exclude them, label them, shunning them and eventually hunting them down." Maxwell says sadly as if he lived it and saw it first hand. "My ancestors and other families hid them but it was no use, they wanted blood and were determined to spill it. It was near on war, well thats how it was recorded, but from what I've read and the tails I've been told that have been past down the generations, it was more like genocide. The red wolves had no choice but to go into hiding and or suppress their 'talents' to blend
'If we tell him anything about Pauline and what she revealed to us that day, it might lead to him asking more about the circumstances of her death. Which would not be good as I'm the one who killed her, he will do what any alpha would be expected to do and sentence us, me.' I self monologue in my head, until, as if sencing our fear and hesitation to share, Maxwell steps forward to say,"You are save here, you have nothing to fear. No matter what has happened or been done, there will be no harm or judgement to any of you." His words ring with truth and I feel as if he can be trusted. Elias and I share a look,'Elias?' Opening a mind-link, trying to hide my panic and fear, 'what if comes up and he presses the matter? I'll be .... I'll be..''I will let nothing bad happen to you! I promised, remember? I'm here, please don't worry, I won't let anything happen. Okay?' Elias sternly tells me with a protective tone, filled with love,'Okay,' 'Anyway, I have a feel
"The entery goes on to say,'Douglas was digging a little more into the pack and it's goings-on when he heard that the girl didn't get far before the alpha's trackers found her hiding out a few towns over. They followed her and when she was alone chased and cornered her in an alley but somehow she got away and the trackers were brought back to be treated for serious burns. I think that when she was trapped and probably scared out of her mind, her emotions were running wild and especially as she was unable to shift due to the pregnancy, Rosalee burnt them to protect herself. I suspect using a power unbeknowing to her, because if she knew about it I believe she would have used it sooner. Rosalee is very likely a red wolf! Douglas called me last night and told he. He also said we are not the only ones thinking this, as alpha Skinner is outraged and the objective has changed in regard to the girl. The alpha has called in the clang to hunt her down and dispose of the problem she has become
Elias POV It's been several hours since the readings of Maxwell's father's journaling, and I can still feel the pain in Chilli's heart like it is my own. I watch her as Erin goes on about something to us all in this private guest sitting room in the guest wing. It's refreshing to have some time just the four of us and not have to put on a show or pretend to be okay around others. All through dinner she put on a brave face to hide her heartache and numbness as she played with her food, just moving it around on her plate. "Not hungry?" I asked her, to which she just slowly shaked her head no."You need eat Chills, your eating for two now remember?" Erin jests, "Mmmnnn," Chilli grunts as she picks at her chicken pie and mash potatoes. "Are you put off because of this morning after breakfast?" I whisper quietly,"A little," she sighs, so I wrap an arm around her shoulders and squeeze her tight, giving her a kiss on the temple. But now seeing her cur
Outside the East pack house, a figure crouches down in the bushes, watching by the dim light of the moon as another runs silently across the open grass area, keeping low to the ground, trying to stay out of sight. "Did you do it?""Yes, the alarms are disabled.""Good, did you see anyone? Did anyone see you?""No, and no, atleast, I don't think so,""What do you mean, you don't think so?""It's just, there are a few lights on still.""Everyone must be asleep by now, it's like nearly two am or something. Come on, we have orders and a job to do,""I've got the cans, and here's the lighter,""Good, lets go."Elias POV *cough, cough* ... *cough, cough*...The sound and movement of Chilli's body on me, as she coughs, wakes me slightly, pulling me to a half conscious state. *cough, cough* ... *cough, cough*...I rub her back, trying to smoothe her, not wantingher to wake yet, as I squint my eyes open to glance at the time but they are all blurry from just waking up. Blinking a few times
