Chapter 4
ELLA
As time passes i'm sitting on the bed, reading a book but out of nowhere i heard howlings and i run to my window to see what is happening. Many wolfs are running in the forest and women with their children are coming inside the packhouse. Oh my Godness, we are under attack.
Let's go out there.
You bet we are.
"Ella! We are under attack!" Mia screamed as she enter my room but she stop when she saw me ready to jump out of the window.
"What are you doing?"
"I will go to help them."
"They don't need your help. Come with me."
"Mia, i can't stand here and do nothing. I have been trained for this kind of situation."
"Me too but I will not let you go out there and Jonathan said to stay here."
I'm wasting valuable time with this conversation and i can barely hold my wolf who wants to help her mate. Mia tries to catch my hand but before she can even get near me i jump out. When i turn up my head to see her i told her with a low voice "sorry".
I start to run to the same path i saw the wolfs running before. Few minutes later i can hear growls and barks and as soon as I'm near enough to watch the scene i climb on one tree. I can't shift but i can help them with a bit of ice. As i sit on the tree can see dead bodies everywhere and i'm sure that we are winning. I spot Jonathan's wolf fighting with three wolfs at the same time, he hasn't even a scratch and i'm admiring his fighting skills. I snap out of this when i saw one wolf coming from behind him and i focus my power on him. The rogue fell to the ground right next to him white like snow. Jonathan stops the fight to look at him but gives the advantage to the remaining rogues to attack him. I immediately froze both of them before they can bite him. He seem to be in shock and i can't blame him, he tries to sniff the air probably to caught my sense but he can't. Soon enough he continues with the fight and I with the others who are trying to attack some warriors. I look around to find their leader but i don't think any of them is their Alpha.
Within the following minutes the battle was over and i can see Jonathan shifting back to his human form in all his naked glory. Oh my Goddess, i turned my gaze not wanting to see him, he is lucky that i can't go down there right now to give him a piece of my mind. I'm sure all the she-wolfs are drooling over him and that pissed me.
I remain on the tree waiting for the battlefield to empty. I hear him bark orders to everyone and after bones to crack. I turn my head as I am sure he is shifting again and I saw him start walking out there with his head up sniffing the air and looking around. As he passes from the tree i was sitting he stop and i hold my breath. I can hear my heart beating loudly and i pray to moon Godness to not listen to it too. After the longest minute of my life he continues to walk away and i can finally breathe normally again.
This was close My wolf said
Yes. I feel bad knowing that he was searching for us
It would help if you told him.
Don't start! Let's go!
I jump down and i start to walk back home looking around to avoid the warriors who are running all over the territory. But, unfortunately, my luck didn't last long, and before i could reach the house the black wolf jump in front of me. I stop where i was standing and i look him in his eyes. He seems pissed and he starts to growl.
"Are you going to attack me?" I said with my eyebrow up.
My question seems to piss him more, he shifts and comes to stand in front of me.
"What the fuck you were doing at the forest?" He shouts but all i am doing is to looking him. The truth is that i don't have a good answer for him.
"I asked you a question."
"I was for a walk." I said and i can feel his hot breath on my face. His scent drives me crazy and my wolf is super exciting to have our mate so close.
"Who are you trying to convince?"
"No one."
"You were for a walk? The same time we had an attack? And you want me to believe you?"
"I didn't do anything wrong." I tried to defend myself.
His eyes are black and his body is tense, he definitely looks scary but not for me. I'm not afraid and i will not step back, it doesn't matter if he knows the truth or not about me.
"Can i go now?" I asked.
I turned to leave but he reached out to catch me, i dodge his hand before he touches me.
"Don't try to touch me ever again!" I screamed and i take my opportunity to run in the house.
As i enter my room i find Mia there.
"Oh moon Goddess, you are ok!"
"Did you have any doubts about it?"
"Don't joke about it Ella. I was worrying when Blake returned and you didn't."
"You have to stop worrying about me Mia."
"I can't help it, you are my best friend." She says and she comes to hug me.
We sit on the bed and i ask her
"Do you know anything about the attack?"
"Not much but Blake told me that they manage to take two of them down at the dungeon so we will learn soon."
"Ok. Where is Olivia?" Now that i think about her i haven't seen her all night.
"She was at the infirmity to keep an eye on them. I have to go help Blake." She said and she stand up ready to leave.
"Ok, go. I will try to sleep."
"You know that you will never sleep in peace without him." She winked and i throw her a pillow which she caught it.
"I love you too!" She said and she left the room laughing.
The following morning, when I walk into the dining room, everyone seems fine, and I was glad no one was injured. Mia waved her hand to me so i walk over there to sit with her. I'm thinking from now on to avoid all the meals and eat in my room. All this time i can feel his eyes on me, probably he is pissed with my behavior yesterday but i can't blame him if i were in his petition i would think the worst.
Suddenly the worst pain of my life hit all over my body and i scream in agony. My whole body is on fire and i can barely breathe. Mia next to me is asking what is wrong but i can't find my voice to answer her.
"She has a fever." She told everyone and she helps me to stand up. One more wave of pain hit me and i feel my knees give up but before i fell to the ground someone caught me.
"Call the doctor." It is the last thing I hear before darkness overtake me.
