Elena
I run to the house after slamming the door hard. I’m crying and I shouldn’t be. I did the right thing, and now I have to make them feel the pain I went through.
The house is a little dark. I hide in a corner at the hallway crying, so no one would hear me. It hurts. It hurts badly to be detached from your mates.
“My Poor Elena…” Ava comes from behind hugging me. I didn’t smell her presence coming, maybe I was too indulged in the pain. I saw Ryan’s blue eyes. It was so full of regrets. It was obvious that the rejection broke him and the entire Quads.
“Ava, I just broke the bond between us.” I take my hands off my eyes. I wrap them around her shoulder to hug her as I let out all the waterworks on her shoulder.
“You will be fine. We will be fine, Elena.” She rubs my back softly. I take my head up to stare at her. She looks so exhausted and there are black spots below her eyes. It is obvious she hasn’t been sleeping. She’s been watching over Diana desperately. She desperately wants her to rise up from that bed.
“We will.” I wipe the tears from my eyes and focus on her instead. I can take care of myself. I don’t know about Ava because she looks like she might break down anytime soon.
I’ve been with Ava, waiting patiently for Diana to get up. Since Ferry refused to tell us how Diana got raped by Mr. French, she has refused to leave Diana alone. When I go home and return, I still meet her in Diana’s room, watching over her, cleaning her. Well, the doctor has been taking good care of her. He predicted they were some drugs the fake doctor was giving to her which was making her condition worse.
He took out the chemicals in her, and begin to give her new drugs that would make her wake up sooner. She’s a werewolf, after all. She won’t die as long as those toxic chemicals were out of her.
“Ava, you look sick. Could you retire for tonight and let me take over?” I ask as I see some circles in her eyes. She’s been crying a lot and lacks of rest.
“You need to be home, Elena. Avera is pregnant, do you remember? She needs you more now that she’s so heavy.” She explains the obvious, which I had tried to deny. I have to be home frequently now because she’s so heavy and it takes a lot of time to get things done by herself.
I sigh because I’m in dilemma. The two of them need me. I wish I had someone that can help. I stay quiet for a while thinking about the situation. What if I beg mom to make Ella come back? After all, we are almost done with school.
Or maybe I shouldn’t ask mom. I can just call Ella to come right away, when mom sees her, I will explain that I really need her. I explain to myself, without saying a word to Ava.
I can only stay with one person tonight and I think Ava needs me more. “Ava, I get your point. But I’m sorry, you have to retire. You need to rest, go to your room, have a bath and sleep. I will be watching after her till dawn, okay?” I try to convince her but she still argues. I start pushing her to her room.
“Hey Elena, I can do-” she continues to argue when I shut the door behind me. I wait for some seconds behind the door but there wasn’t any fight in her anymore.
Once I realized she has given up the fight, I sigh out a deep breath. I fall to the ground, leaning my back on the door. Helpless, maybe lonely or sad or happy. I don’t know which one I feel. There used to be Mr. Hero in all the books that I’ve read, and in my story. I don’t know if it would be different and truthfully, if you ask me, I wish to have my own Mr. Hero.
The place is quiet and it’s late. I let silence take over, but the more I sit in the silence, the more I want to cry. Everything hurts. I rub my hands on my chest. I’m not the only one feeling the pain or loneliness. Isabella too. We want out mates but we are bold and strong anyway.
I push my knees against my chest. I wouldn’t be doing my heart any favor if I fight the tears back. I have to let them out to feel okay. I begin to cry and the entire atmosphere was filled with my broken voice.
I wipe my tears after letting everything out. My aim to punish the Quad’s dad; I have a way to make them all pay. I reassure myself and tell myself that I am strong. I can pull through without anybody’s help and I deserve every good thing. Maybe the Quads weren’t what I deserve to have, even if they were my mates.
I get on my feet, amble into Diana’s room and shut the door close. I grab a chair and set beside her until I have forty winks.
The vibration on my phone wakes me up. I usually don’t get calls in the morning except for Ava, Ella or my mom. But now, it can’t be any of them this early. My eyes are still close and I’m fucking sleepy, but the sound keeps on buzzing. With my head still on the bed, I slowly search for the phone with my hands.
My eyes flutter as I check who the caller is. It’s an unknown number, I pick it up just to see because I’m being skeptical about it.
Hello?” I ask. It’s silent on the other end.
“Hello, am I speaking with Elena Deloris?” the voice is loud and it’s a male voice. By the tone I can tell he is huge.
I sit upright to understand what is going on. “Sure, it’s me. Any problem?” I ask, my ear beating as the blood flows rapidly.
“You gave a report and it wasn’t completed. Can you come back here and finish what you started?” He demands. I arch my brow trying to comprehend.
“You mean the report about a culprit and the victim of a rape crime?” I ask to be sure.
“Yes, that one ma’am. Come over here and finish it. We need to handle the case.” he says then hang up. I’m speechless as I blink a couple of times. I don’t know what just happened.
They didn’t want me to continue because that bastard is so influential that he could pay them off. What suddenly happened that they need to handle the case and hear me out? My mouth hangs open.
I jump in joy and realize I’m in Diana’s room. Her eyes are still closed. The news brought joy to me. I will seek justice for you, Diana. I can’t fail her. I have to expose who the Quad’s father is to the public. He has to pay for his sins.
