Chapter 26: Chapter 26

Stones may rot but words will never be as people will always talk.

Shutting the door behind me I put a hand to my beating heart while Eliz still laughs at me for being too sure with the boys.

I know I'm still not allowed to roam around still IĀ  wanted to take a walk. I was almost to the door when I collided with an elderly woman. She struggled to balance herself making her fall down.

I quickly apologize and help her up, she went for the basket filled with white cloth I reached out for it. "Wow, it's kind of heavy" she stretches her back then asks me to hand it over.

"I can help carry it for you"

"Who are you"

"just an unwanted visitor of Alpha Aaron" I gleam at her hoping she would agree.

She thought for a minute "okay but are you sure"

"yes I am" she sighs "very well you need to take it to the pack hospital."

She gave me the location and went there straight away.

"Excuse me, Carrie call me are those?"

All eyes were set on me, then goes the whisperings. We could detect some holding on tight to their mate's arms once they saw no mark on my neck.

Nodding my head I handed the nurse the basket "oh dear would you tend one of our warriors"

"umm I don't know" too late she grabbed me by the hand and lead me into a ward with wounded male warriors. She shows me the basic steps then I tended one of the werewolf warriors' wounds, patching up his arm.

A heel sound click on the tile "umm I'm sorry who are you?" I turn to a blonde female in her Victoria's Secret dress and her Chanel 5 perfume filling the air.

"Apologies Armenia she's the guest at Alpha's place"

The nurse from before came back in and the blond female quickly drags her by the arm outside leaving me there. I look down to the warrior sleeping in peace then around the peering eyes of the patients and their families. I smile then walk towards the door to get out of there I heard the female's voice at the door.

"You better not let the whore touch him. Didn't you know that she's the one from Cascarade who sleeps around with the unmated wolves? Don't let those filthy hands on him again. You better watch out for your mate too"

I made myself known to them the nurse eyes widen

"are you done" she glared at me everyone in the hallway murmur

"Have you seen me sleep with them" she didn't say anything.

"Exactly next time get your fact straight"

I pump into her shoulder and went back to the packhouse. I was to step into the kitchen when I heard voices again

"oh my god, so she's the one, no wonder why she's not mated," I peek to find the lady that I help earlier chatting with her group of friends. "It was right of Eric to mate Claire, she would make a horrible mate. The werewolves race knows all about it"

I could feel my eyes hot with liquid ready to pour down. Turning around Aaron's face was filled with fury, he was ready to blow my ears for going against his rules.

"Are you okay?"

His expressions soften when he saw my face.

Holding it within without breaking down "I think so" and I walk out of the door.

I sat down on the chair in his empty office my head slowly lay on the table. My emotions running high, I want to disappear now. I heard voices coming through the door then laughter.

My hand drew circles on the table not bothering the unwelcome guests who stood before me.

"I guess we shall see each other again" Eric shook his hand "Elle" he turn to me "Elle" I don't respond standing up I walk past them and made my way out of the packhouse.

I heard someone calling my name again I just continue to walk. This was like a cemetery there were graves here. I walk past it and made it to the other side.

Laying down on the ground "I miss my parents" they were my only sanity in this world. "How many times do we have to stand up and only to be thrown down again. I miss them, what's our purpose again for living" I started to sniff "you haven't lived your life yet Elle" Eliz reminds me. "It's never the end for us, and don't even care what they say" she tries to soothe me.

I pull my legs up and bury my head between my knees. Someone sat beside me, I peer aside finding Aaron sitting down. My brain is almost wrecking from the thought of Aaron closer to me. I wasn't expecting him to be here. Yeah, I don't expect Eric at all to be here for me too.

"I know why you're here" he speaks and I just sat there. "When Claire never gave me a second chance people look at me with pity and they started talking" he looks with pain as he continues to speak "I'm sorry for my pack's behavior today" he continues to speak.

"You should never let them get to your head" he sigh. "People will always talk believe me and it will die down," I felt his warm hand on my shoulder.

I turn up and saw him smile a bit making me smile a little

"you know Alpha you should smile often" I got up from the ground

"It definitely suits you" that I walk back to the packhouse.

Hope you enjoy reading this one
