Elara;
“Elara!!” Alpha Arthur calls out to me. His forehead is a bit knotted in confusion as he stares right at me. His face looks like the face of a man who has been hit by a thunderstorm.
Well, that has been his facial expression since I woke up and met everyone gathered in the living room. I couldn’t tell what their total conversation was all about, but I understood the part I heard. Chloe had ordered the death of one of the Elders.
I might not be used to the affairs of our pack, but I knew Chloe’s action was a big taboo. A Luna doesn’t hold such a right, unless her Alpha is dead. When I walked into them in the living room, Alpha Arthur already had this thunderstorm look written all over his face, so I bet there was more to what was going on.
Chloe must have committed more crimes than anyone could have imagined. That’s my thought.
My reason for requesting that I join Alpha Arthur down to my Father’s home was because I wanted to see my Father. I was desperate.
After the crazy event that I witnessed back at the Blue Moon Pack – Nova’s death. How it sent a big blow to her family and they were unable to recover from it, the only person I could think of was my Father. He was my only blood-related family.
How will he react or feel if he hears the news of my death? How did he feel when I was stoned by the pack members and almost lost my life? I wanted to see him and get my answers. Cause at the end, family is family.
There is always this unexpected bond between families that even if they think they hate and don’t care about themselves so fucking much, they will eventually feel hurt if anything happens to anyone.
Father and I might not have the best relationship, or our connection died after the death of Mother. But I know something for sure. He will never let any hurt come to me unless he is in the dark. He actually doesn’t know the exact truth of what is happening.
Seeing him and speaking with him is my major priority right now.
“You are that little girl years back,” Alpha Arthur’s voice makes me flinch a bit, bringing back my attention.
“What little girl?”
“The one who always came to the garden with her mother.”
“Yes. Why?” How did Alpha Arthur even know about that information? Did I speak to him about it?
“I’m happy that I found you again after many years, Elara,” his eyes blinked. I notice the tears that fill his eyes but he immediately blinks them away.
“Happy for what….?” The ringing of his phone suddenly cuts me off. He pulls the phone out of his pocket, and his face tightens in anger.
“I will be back. Let me take this,” and with that, Alpha Arthur adjusted to a corner, leaving me standing in confusion. What was he trying to say? I don’t understand what he meant by ‘I found you again after many years’
I hope he’s not mistaken me for someone else.
“Alpha!!” Gamma Ralph rushes in. “Where is Alpha Arthur?” He questions me the moment his eyes find me.
Pointing in a direction, “Over there. But he’s on a call right now. I think the call is very important. What’s going on?”
“An informant is here to see Alpha Arthur. He has information about Chloe and her parents. Where to find them.”
“What do you mean by her parents? Did they also commit a crime? I thought Alpha Arthur was just searching for Chloe.” Why is Father involved in this? What did I miss?
Raising a brow as I stare right at Gamma Ralph, “Besides, who is this informant? Let him in.” Giving my order, my hands wrap over my chest. I know I’m not permitted to give orders but I need to see who this person is. This person must be someone closer to the family.
Gamma Ralph steps out and immediately returns. “Here he is,” he moves out of the way revealing the last person I’d expected to see.
Gideon!!!
What the fuck is he doing here? And why is he the one who wants to rat on my family?
“Elara, it’s been a while. I’m glad to see you once again,” he slowly moves closer to me.
My surprised gaze sizes him from his forehead down to his toes, and back to his forehead. He looks very different from who he used to be. He was dressed in a dark blue almost faded shirt. His black pants look like ones he has worn for a long time.
It’s also faded.
His black pair of shoes. I don’t want to speak about them. They look the most miserable. The lower leathers are already breaking and I can tell he has been constantly wearing them. His hair also looks messy like that of a street Rogue.
His skin looks dry and withers, causing his handsomeness to vanish. At this point, one might mistake him for one of the madmen on the street.
What happened to him?
“Why are you here, Gideon?” My nose scrunches in disgust.
“To see Alpha Arthur. I have useful information for him, but I’m more grateful that I met you also,” his dry lips drags in a smile, revealing some brown teeth. Disgusting.
“Why? Why do you want to see me?” My hands wrapped around my chest, tightened. Seems this loose dick still doesn’t have an idea that I caught him cheating on me.
“To say sorry, Elara.”
“Sorry for what?” Brow raised, staring at him.
“I cheated on you, Elara, with your sister, Chloe. I neglected you and treated you badly,” he pinches his thighs, dragging his pants upward before going down on one knee. “I know words can not explain how sorry I am about my stupid actions, but I’m grateful that the Goddess dealt with me in her own ways…
My life is already a mess, and nothing good will come out of me again. But still, Elara. I want to seek your forgiveness. Aside from cheating on you, I also plotted with Chloe to rat you out to Alpha Arthur. We thought he was gonna take your life. Fuck!!” He lowers his head, trying to hide the tears that just wells up in his eyes.
I saw the regret written all over his face, and trust me, if he were to turn back the hands of time, he wouldn’t act stupid again. Thank Goddess for carrying out my revenge on Gideon in the best way ever. This is better than what I had planned to do to him.
Clearing my throat inwardly, “Saying sorry to me won’t change a thing. I had gotten over you, and all thanks to you, I got to meet the best man ever. Trust me, I’m grateful you decided to hurt me. Sometimes, there are things you need to go through to get the best life has in stock for you. And what you did to me, was one of them.
I hold nothing against you, Gideon. You are forgiven.” My lips twist to the side in a smile.
Things I fucking love to see.
“Who is this, Elara?” Alpha Arthur walks closer to us. His eyes scan Gideon’s body.
“My ex-fiance. He’s also an informant,” I respond. And oh, that part of Gideon rating my family out is something I just forgot to ask him. I need to know his reason for doing this. But not in front of Alpha Arthur.
Alpha Arthur fixes his hands in his pockets, his head slightly tilts, “What information do you have?” His gaze is solely fixed on Gideon.
“I know where you can find….”
“Stand to your feet and speak,” Alpha Arthur orders, and Gideon stands to his feet.
“I know where you can find Luna Chloe and her parents. I can take everyone there.”
“How solid is your information?”
“Very solid, Alpha. I personally traced them down to the location.”
Alpha Arthur sends his gaze to Gamma Ralph, “Take him to the car, and have everyone wait for me.”
“Noted, Alpha,” Gamma Ralph pulls Gideon by the arm and leads him out.
Alpha Arthur suddenly turns to look at me, “It was Bronson who called me. He said Malicia told him the truth about Veronica’s death. Chloe killed Veronica and framed Malicia.”
My hand flies to my mouth in shock. My eyes are wide open.
Chloe!! Why would she do that to Malicia? What harm has Malicia ever done to her? Oh, Mother Goddess, please protect us from the evil ones.
“Did Beta Bronson say anything about Malicia’s health? How is she right now, and where is she?” I ask, but I’m grateful she is alive.
“I didn’t get to ask him all that, Elara. But I know she is in Alpha Blade’s Pack.” Alpha Arthur steps forward in me, his palms resting on my shoulders. “Elara, I don’t want you to join us in going after your family. I don’t want you to break down once again,” he softly sighs.
I get his concern, but this time, it’s something different. I want to watch Chloe get captured and I’m ready to play a major role in this.
“Alpha Arthur, don’t worry about me. I’m fine. I also want to see things for myself, and please don’t stop me,” my eyes dart back and forth as I gaze at his face.
“If this is what you truly want, then let’s go,” Alpha Arthur grants me permission, and my heart dances in excitement.
