Finley’s pov
I had no experience getting healed before other than by magic. But magic isn’t able to heal that deep, only if you’re a very strong and skilled witch. Which I really wasn’t. But what Zeke could do was amazing, but it took a lot out of both of us. There were a lot of bones that were broken over the last 6 months and some had healed incorrectly. For this to work Zeke had to find the errors, break the bones again and then put everything back together. It hurt like hell and it took a lot of strength out of Zeke. Every time I felt the pain I was brought back to the dungeon, being beaten daily. I knew I couldn’t show my feelings here, I had no right to their pity. The other injuries were easier to heal luckily, but still took some time. In the end it took almost a week to fully heal me.
Elias and I would be going soon, I needed a haircut and Zoey had said she would take me. She wanted to talk to me about Elias and I guess
A bit longer chapter. Hope you like it
Elias’ povWe would leave soon after Zoey and Finley had their hair cuts. I had asked my mother if she could pick out some clothing and other things for Finley, I had no idea what she would need on my travels. I always packed a suit or 2 and some casual wear for myself and brought my toiletries. Whatever else I needed I bought at my location. But from what I’ve seen woman tend to bring a lot more stuff when they travel than men. Zoey would be coming too and one of the senior soldiers of Gamma Omar, to make sure Zoey was doing a good job. First places we were going to were the packs where some of the lawyers lived and meet their Alpha’s. It wasn’t polite to ask for a pack member’s help without discussing it with their Alpha first.Zoey and Finley arrived at the airport while I was already seated on the plane. We were going on a private jet, to ensure Finley’s safety even more. When Zoey walked in her turquoise hair stood out,
Finley’s pov I had made Zoey a promise, a promise to not get involved with Elias again and the only way I knew how was to keep my distance. Since I couldn’t do this physically, I had to try to keep my distance in other ways. Even when we were in the same room I tried as much as possible to not have a conversation with Elias or keep my answers short and polite. I didn’t want to insult Elias by being rude, but keeping my answers short usually stopped Elias from asking further. He probably thought I was still dealing with everything that happened back at Alpha Ivar and honestly I still was. I wish I could talk to him about it, but that would blur the lines between us. I still remember how Elias held my hand after having a nightmare and how could his touch had felt. It had calmed my nerves and send sparks down my body. We had been at the Lotus pack for two days, traveling back and forth between the other neighboring packs. In the morning we had meetings with Rav
Elias’ pov We had to leave to go to the next pack, but Zoey first wanted to talk to me about something. I figured she wanted to discuss finding her Mate, but the conversation actually went very differently. “You need to find help for Finley. The first night we shared a room I was freaking out a bit, hoping she wouldn’t cast a spell in my sleep. But she is way too damaged to try anything. All she did was sleep in a small ball and she would cry and moan in her sleep. I am not even sure if Finley notices, but she is not okay. I know you need to keep her safe, but she needs other types of help too.” I had tried to talk to Finley, but she had kept her distance. I wasn’t sure if she was keeping her distance from me for another reason or because she was in too much pain. “The next pack is a bit larger, perhaps there is someone there Finley can talk to.” I told Zoey hoping I was right. I knew that sometimes talking to a friend was enough, but sometimes you really need profe
Finley’s povThis was the best night’s sleep I have had in forever. I couldn’t even remember what I had dreamed about, which was unusual for me. I usually woke up smelling the dungeon around me and hearing my own screams and moans echo from the walls. Every morning I had to remind myself where I was and that I was safe. But this time I woke up rested and it smelled like nature around me. Was it the therapist I had seen? I doubt it, he was way too curious about why I was in the dungeon in the first place and he wanted me to take a bunch of pills. I know other’s used them, but I was used to taking herbs and I had no idea what was in those pills. Maybe it was the idea that I was allowed to use my magic or that I was going to take to Willa this week. I stretched my arms, my eyes not fully open yet and I felt something hit my hand. It felt rough and I traced my fingers over it, trying to find out what it was. Suddenly I heard someone laugh and my p
Elias’s pov Hearing Finley talk about what Alpha Ivar had done to her made me go insane with guilt. Should I just have killed him when I had the chance? Should I have looked for Finley sooner? I didn’t know if I would be able to handle everything Finley had gone through, she was so strong. Finley’s birthday was coming up soon and two days later the trial would start. I planned to do the trial sooner, but it was so much work trying to get everyone here at the same time. I had to make sure there was a place for every witness, every judge and their security to stay. The trial was open to public, so there were a lot of other people coming as well. Honestly I was so happy I hired Raven, she had been the best investment I have ever made and she makes Zoey very happy. I had hired a lot of people now and sometimes I felt more like a business man than a King. But this was all part of the plan I had envisioned right? I would get to travel the world and find ways to help packs
Finley’s pov I didn’t tell Elias I could hear my wolf the first time I shifted. I wanted to, but we were so busy running and playing and it felt so good to be outside. I never thought about shifting until I came to the Crimson Moon pack. I had always thought I wouldn’t use my wolf and be a witch full time. Perhaps even use a spell to get rid of my wolf. But now having one, I never felt more complete. Diona, my wolf was so calming. Even before I could hear her I had felt her energy all day. Today had been the perfect day. I woke up feeling Diona in my mind and felt more at ease than I’ve had in a long time. Then Elias took me to the city and we had a great time. I promised to keep my distance, but it felt like we were starting to be friends. And Elias had even put money in an account for me each month. I had my own money that I could use whenever I could leave. But why did Elias have to ruin this perfect day by being my mate?! Why didn’t he tell me it was a full
Elias’ pov I should have never left Finley alone. I just needed a moment. Finley avoided me all day yesterday and today we had a lot to do, mom was coming and the trial would start. But my mom just annoyed me. All my parents cared about was that I was keeping Finley safe and they failed to notice how hard it was for both of us to be around each other. I know keeping Finley safe was the most important thing for every werewolf. She could be the end of a prophesied war. But to me Finley was more than just someone to protect. She was my mate and she rejected me. My mom asked “is everything okay? Her wolf is nice, so that means she most likely will side with the wolves if anything happens right?” and it pissed me off. Of course all my mom cared about was that Finley would choose our side if a war ever broke out. I replied “yes mama, she will side with us. Because that is all she is good for right?” and I walked off leaving Finley with Zoey and my mom. When Zoey rus
Finley’s pov My grandmother had always kept her coven hidden from the werewolves by using spells, but I could see through them. I knew Elias and Luna Amber would have a hard time tracking me, but this would be for the best. I should be the one to stop my grandmother, maybe I could convince her before she hurt anyone. I shifted back close to the coven, walking around naked towards my grandmother’s house. I was surrounded by witches and I was too busy stopping grandma to even care about having no clothes on. I walked to my grandmother’s house and opened the door, seeing Alpha Axel and Gamma Omar tied up on the floor in a corner. They had clearly been drugged, because they were barely able to move or talk. But I saw Alpha Axel’s eyes opening. My grandmother faced me and said “Jade you came back”. I replied “My name is Finley and I am not here for you grandma. I am here to get Alpha Axel and his gamma back.” My grandmother looked at in disgust, as if I was pure fi
