Chapter 5

MIA

I'm sitting with Blake and the rest of the pack in the dining room for breakfast. All of them talk about what turned these rogues into ice yesterday, i know well who did it but I'm trying my best to show my surprise. I notice that Jonathan doesn't participate in the discussion and he look sad, after all, he lost the opportunity to meet his mate.

As soon as i saw Ella entering the room i waved my hand to her and she comes over to sit us. I know that she feels uncomfortable sitting close to him, but she manages to get away without anyone noticing it. You can see how much her eyes are tired because of the sleepless nights, she is so stubborn, and she can't understand that she needs her mate. I feel so lucky with Blake and I'm trying to show him how much i love him with every chance i can.

I'm in the middle of a conversation with Blake when i hear Ella screaming and i turn to see her. She looks to be in pain.

"What's wrong?" I asked her but she doesn't answer me. I put my hand on her forehead to check on her. Oh my Goddess she is on fire.

"She has a fever." I told everyone and i help her stand up, but she scream once more and start to fall to the ground. Blake came and caught her.

"Call the doctor." Cole shoot.

"NO!" I screamed "I will take care of her. Blake let's take her in her room."

He picks her up in bridal style and walks up to her room.

"Thanks baby, you can go now." I told him when he lay her on her bed.

" Are you sure?"

"Yes, i need to take off her clothes."

He nod his head in agreement and he gave me a quick kiss on the lips before he goes out.

I turn to Ella, who is sweaty and i start to take off her shirt after i take a towel from the bathroom to wipe it.

"Mia.." i hear her low voice.

"Oh my Goddess you are awake."

"It's so hot."

"I know, come, i will help you take a bath." I took her hand to help her stand up and she leaned on me as we walk into the bathroom. She took off the rest of her clothes and i turn on the cold water. She sits down in the tub and she leans back her head.

"Thank you, Mia"

"I was worrying. It's your heat?"

"I don't know, it's too early for this. What happened earlier?"

"I don't know, Blake helped me bring you here and Cole wanted a doctor but i denied."

"Good."

"Are you feeling better?"

"Yes but still sore."

"I will go out for a minute to say to them that you are ok." I told her and Ella nod her head. As i walk out Blake is standing there with Jonathan by his side.

"My office now." Jonathan told us.

ELLA

I'm still in the tub with my eyes close. The cold water feels nice on my skin. i try to talk to my wolf but she doesn't respond, maybe she is still recovering, i will give her some time. For a minute i was afraid that everyone learned about me but Mia took good care of the situation, now i have to think of something to tell them because they will ask what the hell happened and to be honest i don't know what i will say to them. After a while, Mia didn't return and I start to worry about her. I get up and i walk back to my room to put some clothes on. I take a final look in the mirror and i get out. I walk down to search for her but i find Olivia who came running to hug me.

"I'm so happy that you are better."

"Thank you, i don't know what happened."

"You must go to do a check-up."

"I will. Do you know where Mia is?"

"She is with Blake in Jonathan's office."

I thank her and i make way up there. I want to make sure that everything is ok, but as soon as i reach his door i hear his voice.

"She is a traitor." Jonathan shout.

I can't believe it, he maked me furious and i open the door without knocking.

"Am i a traitor?"

"What the fuck are you doing here?"

"I'm here because i heard your bullshits." I yelled back.

"Watch your tone."

"Or what?"

"Don't test me. The only reason you are still alive is that you are Mia's best friend."

"You can't yell at her. If you have something to tell,I'm listening."

"Ella, it's ok." Mia said to me.

"No! It's not ok. Come on Alpha, do you best."

I know very well that i pass his limits long ago but i will never bow don't to him, I'm Alpha too and most important, I'm his mate.

He doesn't know that

You decide to wake up?

"Blake, lock up her in the cells."

"You will regret this."

"Are you threatening me?" Now his eyes are black and his voice is deep, I'm sure his wolf was taken control.

"Just tell him the truth!!" Mia screamed and i look at her shocked, i can't believe she told me that.

"I don't want you to go there. Please, it's ok. We will protect you don't be afraid."

"What is she talking you about?" Jonathan asked, and i look down for the first time. I didn't want him to know this way. Mia is crying beside me but Blake don't comfort her, he is still in shock. His mate has a secret after all, who like secrets? I'm not sure if Jonathan will forgive me but at least i will try to explain myself.

"ANSWER!"

I look up into his eyes and i can feel my tears coming out but i try to hold them back.

"I'm sorry." I told him and i took off my necklace. Immediately his eyes seem even darker, i can see how much furious he is.

"GET OUT." He yells and I obey because it's pointless to explain, i have to wait for him to calm down first. When I closed the door behind me, I heard glasses breaking and Mia came out too still crying.

"I'm sorry.. please.. don't be mad, i didn't want him to lock you up." I turned to her,

"I'm not mad with you but i want to be alone. Both of us have to give explanations to our mates."

"I know, they are both furious."

" I can hear that, but don't worry I'm sure Blake will forgive you." I told her and i continue my walking. I didn't want to deal with anyone, i ignored all the people who are looking at me, now that they can sense my wolf they are curious about me but i don't give a fuck right now.

I got out of there and i shift, ignoring my clothes completely and i start to run, the only thing i wanted is to be alone.

He is mad

I know

Is he going to reject us?

I don't know Aria.

I continue running for hours until i was out of breath, i look around and I'm not sure where i am and it's already night.

Nice we are lost My wolf commented.

We can sleep out here. I'm sure he won't want to see us anytime soon.

My wolf whine but she agree with me, so i start to search for somewhere safe to sleep.

I laid down in my wolf form to keep me warm.

Do you believe that he is thinking about us?

Yes. he is thinking about how to kill us. I mess with her but she got pissed and she block our link.

I stay on alert because i don't even know if i'm in the pack territory anymore. It's dangerous but i don't care it's peaceful and the moon is breath taking. I made a mess and i don't even know how to deal with it. I'm thinking about my mum and dad and how in love they were until their last day. They had eyes only for each other. When i was a kid i was dreaming about a mate who will love me and respect me no matter what.

After a while, i can hear someone coming in my direction and the most mouthwatering scent hit my nose.

It's him. He came for us. My wolf told me and at the same time is jumping like a pup.

I didn't bother to stand up and soon enough i saw his wolf coming over. As soon as he spot me he seem to relax and he closes the gap between us. Our eyes never break contact but it is not a challenging way, i can see that he is not mad anymore. To my surprise, he lay down right next to me and his eyes scan my body, when he made sure that I'm ok he rest his head on top of my neck. I know that with this move he show me that he is here to protect me. No words are necessary now, i welcome his warmth and his protection without moving an inch. Like that, with any of us changing position, i fell to the most peaceful sleep i ever had.
