Chapter 6: Chapter 6

Elena.

It was several weeks later and I was already starting to think the the Damien’s had forgotten about the marriage and possibly Scott had given them a valid reason to call off the wedding.

Just then my happiness was cut short when mum came announcing to me that the arrangements and preparations for the wedding has been finalized . Probably this was the reason why Elijah had deserted me , he hadn’t reached out to me .

This was exactly how my life would be after the marriage, nobody wanted to be so close to their husbands wife, this is how lonely my life would turn out to be.

I recalled all the incidents in the past with Scott, him transforming and later trying to hit me and the manner at which he spoke to me.

With all of this, it was evident that falling in love with him was out of the question , I can’t do it , it won’t work. We already had our plans laid out but I wasn’t sure of how I was going to be treated seeing how much he despised me and even my parents.

I used to think I was a laughing stock before; now, seems to me like I am about to uncover the true meaning of shame .I stormed out of the shop angrily, I couldn’t breathe, it felt like my organs were cramping up , I was still , looking everywhere, it felt like I was somewhere else.

I glanced around , closing my ears and trying to shut myself away from the world, people were clustering around me and just like that i transformed fully into my wolf . I took one more look at my mother before running away deep into the woods.

The deeper I went into the woods , I realized someone was following me, I kept praying deeper, I had a bit of fear in me but after all I was a Gamma , anything that could puke come close to me now would be shred to pieces , I kept my pace trying to act courageous.

The steps grew louder and the image was getting clearer jute visible, it looked like a human but the speed was magnificent , I turned around and readied my claws , he halted immediately , shinning his fangs at me .

I don’t want to harm you , but you shouldn’t be here, this is a territory for Vampires , the Locke woods clan . If you are found here, you will be shredded to pieces.

I still didn’t believe him as he came closer to me , I moved backward before finally shifting back to my human form. I started to cry in front of this unknown immortal.

He didn’t say a word but offered to take me to his hide out in the woods where I’ll be safe from both humans, werewolf and most especially Vampires.

We stayed there and I was having fun but it was already three days gone and my parents were sick worried about me, back in our territory , a search party had already been sent out and my mother wouldn’t stop blaming herself.

Luna Sandra had made sure that Scott was apprehended as a possible suspect , why does she hate him so much and why was that her first instinct.

I returned to the colony and everywhere was quiet, I walked in to find my mother crying about how Alpha Damien had threatened to varnish them from the pack within the space on one week.

I was beginning to see Alpha Damien’s true colors , one who I feared and dreaded was nothing but a wicked man , he would do whatever he could to get me that which he thought was his . Now I see the resemblance between him and his son Scott.

I ran to my mother and held her in my hands, I’m sorry mum , I didn’t mean to put you through all this stress and heart churns , I’m back now , I’m back .

My father hurried the the Alphas mansion to inform everyone that I was back well and safe .

I could only imagine how much Scott would hate me and what Elijah would even think of me right now. Hearing what Luna Sandra had done to Scott made me even a bit more scared of Scott , I wasn’t sure I could face him .

I never imagined such would happen , but I was so happy I had a bit of time for myself , away from all the arrangements and unhappiness that filled the air.

I’m happy no one was hurt , but I was particularly in a very good mood today .I knew about the war between the Vampire and the Werewolves but I didn’t mind . This mysterious young lad I had just met made me feel butterflies even more than I had never imagined .

He made me feel comfortable and I was happy for the first time in a long time , it is so unbelievable how things happen , could this be fate ?

But nobody can find out I went to the woods, they can’t know about the mysterious Vampire I had bumped into who had seemed to save my life.

He had refused to even tell me his name , so that is left a mystery, I couldn’t tell anyone the truth about my disappearance in the past three days.

I lied, I lied to everyone including my parents , this was the perfect time to chop in the incident of the guys in the tuxedo only that it was a different location and a different day entirely, it wasn’t even a lie . It was just a mere upgrade of the truth to suit mother circumstances at hand.

Of course I couldn’t tell anyone that the soon to be mate of Scott Damien brook was in the woods meddling with a Vampire totally breaking the laws of a Gamma , we were trained to fight werewolves and keep our people safe, we were taught about their tricks , their looks , their smell and most importantly how to kill them.

I had my training just incase the mysterious young boy had other plans, even while with him , i was always on guard because I was a true Gamma and that cannot be taken away from me .

I was interested in knowing if Elijah had stoped by with all the drama was going on. I decided to ask my mum .

Mum, did Elijah come looking for me and how many times did he come ?

“He went on a trip to join Devon and some girl name Judith”

My face turned red and, I imagined them having a lot of fun without me, Elijah had totally left me to my fate.

Did they decide to go on that vacation without me? Why will Elijah do this at the time I needed him the most? He was supposed to look for a way to get me out of this mess, that’s what friends do right, isn’t it?

Instead, he decided to travel at this time . My heart was in shambles . Silent tears streamed down my face.

“It was rumored that Luna Sandra forced him to go on that journey to avoid him being entangled in this outrageous situation of ours.” She said, not that it helped or even made me feel any better.
