I grab onto Colin and let out a gasp when I feel like I may pass out. He gives off a growl and wraps his arms around me in a protective manner.
“There is more sir. I am not sure how many or how it is possible, but he wasn’t alone. We could make out at least six different wolves in close proximity to each other. We followed them until the trail went cold at the human border.” He says as he looks around at all of us, still panting from running so hard.
******2 Months later*******I am in the woods just outside of our pack’s borders near my parents house. I am not in Brandon’s territory either, but on human grounds. This is neutral zone since humans cannot know we are real.The ground is still frozen and it is hard to pick up any scents. I am alone, but I know he is here because he told me to meet him. I tighten my cream colored winter co
"Ellie!"I snap back to reality and look at Luke."What!""You zoned out again. Mr. Arthur is going to give you detention if you don't start paying attention and you know it."
The rest of the week has gone by without anymore nightmares and without getting myself detention. Which I am very proud of myself about.I have been trying to come up with a plan on how to take care of my situation with Shane. Samantha, Colin and Luke are helping, but no one seems concerned with my nightmare. They all think it's just my head making stuff up.Colin had Alpha Lawrence
Samantha and I both find dresses, shoes and accessories, including our masks. I buy an all black mask with rhinestones, beads and feathers. Samantha buys a white mask with lace and pearls. It's a black and white masquerade ball and we are going to look awesome.By the time we are finished it is dark outside and we figure it's time to get the guys. We don't even need to mink link them, we already know where they will be.
Heading down to the training field with Samantha and Amber, we are all talking about the prom this weekend. Today is Monday so it's the girls training day and I have actually come to love it more than Tuesday's, which I always thought was impossible.Logan has really taken the initiative to get these girls interested and motivated. I've seen muscles forming on Samantha. They look amazing on her frame and Luke is definitely noticing. Amber is finally realizing that her attitude can come out through fighting, not just her mouth, and even the cheerleaders have been participating.
"Ellie! Wake up!"Ugh, why does everyone insist on waking me up all the time by either yelling at me or banging on my door. It's so annoying."It's not locked!" I yell at the door.
He kisses my neck, sending me right back into a fog. His hand caresses my thigh before giving it a gentle squeeze and then finds it’s way to my now damp thong. Damn my body and his trance that he’s always had over it. Another strong whiff of his scent and I am finally able to clear my mind. My heart speeds up along with my breaths.
To my relief, there is no sign of him or his guards. As we walk into the bathroom I scan under the stalls to see if anyone else is in here with us.There is only one door closed, but the toilet flushes and the girl who is occupying it comes out and leaves. I hurry over and lock the door behind her and come back to the girls.“Ellie, you’re scaring us. Please tell us what is happening.&rdqu
It’s been five years since the wedding. Five years since Colin and I had our Luna and Alpha ceremony. It was a beautiful day, until it wasn’t. We don’t talk about that day, our pack won’t mention it either.Colin and I don’t celebrate our wedding day. The memories of what took place make it too difficult. Instead, we celebrate on the day that he proposed. That way we don’t have anything that can take away from our happiness.
“What a magnificent wedding and ceremony you two, really, just wonderful to watch. If only your guards would have been alive to see it too.”Shane emerges from the woods with two other wolves, both already shifted while Shane is still in his human form. Colin grabs ahold of me tightly and I search the woods for any sign of our guards or Brandon’s with no luck.“Shane, I suggest
I look at my dad and I am suddenly so nervous. I can’t help my hands from trembling or my heart from speeding. He walks over and kisses my head while rubbing my arms.“You got this, you’re my daughter after all.” He pushes his chest out as far as it will go.I shake my head and roll my eyes at him.
Sipping my mocktail and talking to the girls, I can’t help the smile that won’t go away. Amber, Heather, Samantha and I are in my old room at my parents house. Today is the day I marry Colin and the day we become Luna and Alpha in front of our pack.Josie is also here, she insisted on doing my hair and makeup as a wedding gift to me. It’s so nice to see her and I’m glad she will be here today. I know there is a big possibility that I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for her. She and her mate are also expecting a pup, it’s a little girl.
When we pull into the pack house driveway, Colin and our dad’s are waiting for us. I get out of the car and my dad pulls me in for a big hug.“So I am going to be a grandfather, huh? Do you think it will finally be the boy I always wanted?”I pulled back and punched him, not lightly, in the shoulder.
"Ellie!"I wake up to Colin shaking me. Again. This is the third night this week. Every time I fall asleep, I'm in that nightmare. I wake up in a pool of sweat and I am trembling uncontrollably.Again I grab hold of his face, searching for the reality, hoping that he is real. Then, I grab my stomach and the tears start falling.
"Good morning beautiful.""mmm."I wake up to Colin kissing my neck. I stretch out a little obnoxiously and he smiles into my neck. As I finish my stretch I wrap my arms and legs around him and pull him onto me.
My heart sinks and I frantically search the stalls. When they are all empty I shake my head in confusion and look back to the mirror to make sure I am not seeing things. The message is in fact there, but I am alone.I remember the toilets flushing a couple times so I know that more than one girl had been in here. There are wolves and humans in this bar so it could be any of them.Wit
As we get out of the car at the pack house, Amber heads to her own car and gets a bag out. I know what is inside before she says anything.“How many mason jars did you bring Amber?” I ask her and before she answers I mouth the words she is going to say to Samantha.“Enough.” She says and turns around to smack my arm when Samantha starts laughing at me.
