Elias' pov
I was so angry with Liam, but I knew I couldn’t act on those feelings. I wasn’t Jade’s boyfriend or bodyguard, hell I wasn’t even her friend right now. My father said he had handled it, but I really disliked Liam even more now. I had called Zoey to ask what happened, she felt really guilty. Zoey hadn’t even noticed Jade leaving until she got her text. The next day everyone was saying goodbye, I could see my mother was really sad. Everything was changing for her just as much as it was for me. I wasn’t really a part of their group yet, I couldn’t run with them at night like my mom did. I didn’t have any powers yet, plus I hadn’t gone through the experience they had. My stay at the compound had been completely different from theirs. The special wolves always treated me like part of the family though, but I had felt like a fake. But after my birthday I would finally belong. My mother had found some texts on the White Wolf, but nothing too conclusive on what m
Do you think this is the end of Elias?
Jade’s pov If I was going to kill Elias I needed to do it soon. I was sure any longer in this pack I would lose my nerve. I had loved living here, free from the coven. I had loved doing some white magic again, instead of practicing dark magic. And I had made friends, learned new fighting skills and had sex. I felt like a normal teenager, well if a normal teenager secretly had a mission to destroy the whole Wentworth family by killing their prodigal son. I needed to do this for my family, my parents didn’t deserve to die like that. An eye for an eye, I need revenge. I didn’t have much time, so I went to the garden after dinner and got my plants. I had gotten some chicken feet from work and I had convinced the kitchen staff to make apple pie, I needed all the apple seeds I could find to add to my poison. One seed isn’t that poisonous, but a cup full will kill you. Combined with some herbs, that most people had in their kitchen and my blood I was good to go. I mixed ev
Elias pov I woke up in my own bed, thinking I had dreamed the whole thing. I had drank some wine with Jade and suddenly I had felt pain and I couldn’t move. My body still felt really heavy, like I had the worst workout in the world. Every muscle ached and even breathing hurt. I knew it wasn’t a dream, because I could feel Briana lying next to me. She never slept in my room anymore, so it must have been bad. I nudged Briana to move, she was laying on top of my duvet and making it hard for me to move. ‘You’re awake! You’ve been in and out for 3 days!’ Briana said as she gave me a hug. My father came running in after some time, seeing if I really had awakened. He gave me a big hug, with a guilty look on his face. ‘Do you know what happened Elias?’, my father asked. ‘No, I drank some wine and then I started feeling bad. I don’t remember much else, just Jade saying some words and then I woke up here’, I replied. My father sighed ‘I am sorry. It was Jade. Well, that
Jade’s pov I couldn’t believe Elias let me go. I didn’t know why I couldn’t kill him, but I had still tried to poison Elias. That was not something one forgives easily. It hurt when he said he didn’t want to see me ever again, but I understood why. It was hard being around him, I felt guilty to my parents for not killing Elias and guilty to Elias for trying to kill him. And then there was the burning feeling in my back that was as strong as ever. Elias had let me to the forest, he couldn’t help me anymore. I was on my own now. Luckily I knew how to cloak my scent using one of the spell I was taught. I just needed some mud, seeds, grass, leaves and some water. It wasn’t hard to find those in a forest. I ran for a bit until I found a place where I could mix it all together. I made a small bowl in the ground and put everything in the bowl. Calling earth for protection, please hide my direction. Make sure I cannot be found, cloak my scent for an hour round. This s
Jade's pov Sally looked at me and said ‘What are you doing here honey? I have been looking for you and feared you might have joined your parents’. I told her about staying at my grandmother, but didn’t want to say too much. Only the mention of my grandmother made Sally angry. ‘That awful woman! Beatrix couldn’t have your mother, so she used you!’. I looked at her with a confused look. ‘What do you mean?’, I asked. ‘Of course Beatrix didn’t tell you. Your mother was 16 when she came to my pack. She was the daughter of the Beta of Alpha Connor, your other grandfather. My parents were the head omega’s before I took over. We became friends quickly, but it was years before Rose told me the truth. I was the only one that knew, besides your father. She should have never told Alpha Finnegan, your father couldn’t handle it. I think that’s why he helped Lenore. Hoping he could stop it’. Sally stopped, she looked at me and began to laugh. ‘What did you do to your hair?!’
Elias’ pov Both my parents were equally pissed and righteously so. My dad played bad cop and shouted at me. While my mother sat me down and talked to me in a calm voice, clearly good cop. But it worked, I knew they were disappointed. But there wasn’t much they could do to punish me at this point. I was almost 18 and tomorrow I would be King of the werewolves. I would basically be in charge of them, even though I would never say that out loud. I told my mother ‘honestly mama, I am so confused. I barely know her, but for a while I suspected she might be my mate. Her scent drives me crazy and we had our moments together. But most of the time she spent at the packhouse she was really angry with me, for no clear reason. I don’t believe she’s an evil person. You don’t have to worry. I am not delusional, I know it would be ridiculous to still have feelings for someone after they tried to kill you. But I couldn’t let her sit there and be hurt by papa and perhaps killed afte
Elias’ pov My mother had asked me in advance if I wanted to shift with just her or if other people could be present. At the time I didn’t mind having an audience, a lot of people had their first shift in front of others. But now the time was getting closer to my own first shift I was getting anxious. Would it be better to just do this with my parents? I asked my mother ‘mama, do you think it would be better if it was just you and me when I shift?’. She looked at me and saw my nerves and nodded. ‘I know just the place. Let me just tell Axel to let everyone know we will meet them for a run after you’ve shifted’. She seemed to mindlink my father and we walked together to the edge of the forest. My father brought a big t-shirt for my mother to wear and some shorts for me, it would be awful to ruin our nice clothes after wearing them only one night. I stripped and put on the short, as did my mother and we walked into the trees. My parents were holding hands and looking u
Jade's pov Meeting Jacob and learning about the new Alpha had thrown me off a much more important topic. Sally had just shared that I could be part of a prophecy and that my grandmother was a liar. Normally I wouldn’t have believed Sally’s story, but it was too much to make up on the spot. Not to mention the fact that everyone else besides my grandmother had a different story of how my parents were. I always thought my mother stood by my father and agreed with his choices. But it seemed like the decision to support Lenore my father made on his own. I was snapped out of my thought by Sally ‘Finley, are you okay? I know I just revealed a lot to you’. I nodded ‘I just have to wrap my brain around everything. So you’re saying I might be part of a witches prophecy? And that my father was in the wrong to help Lenore?’. Sally was thinking for a while and then answered me ‘You have to make up your own mind about your father. To me an Alpha looks out for their pack, for ever
Elias povIn hindsight it was silly of me to think I would start my job as King right away. I needed time to get used to my powers, I needed to find people around me I could trust and I honestly needed to finish high-school. There were only a few weeks left and I could really use that time to practice with Zane. When I had graduated I could travel around and see all the Alpha’s. Hopefully I could get a good feel of what was necessary for me to do. Perhaps my mother could join me on some of the travels, although I don’t want people to think I need my mommy close all the time. I was the first to admit I was a mommy’s boy, but this was my destiny not hers. I mindlinked my father and told him my plans. My father was happy I wasn’t leaving right away and I took my education seriously. I think he was also secretly happy my mom didn’t start her new job right away, they could finally have some time together without having to protect me.
