“Here,” Oran passeda picture frwith a picture of all our friends that I
had asked him to take the day before.
“Thanks!” I grinned, safely tucking it into my luggage.
“Bix will be pissed that you left the pack when he was not around,” he
murmured.
“It’s ok. I had already informed him about my departure yesterday when we had
dinner. He knew that I was leaving today,” I explained.
He just nodded and watchedch*ck my luggage one last time. “Ella, I have
something to confess,” he hesitantly opened his mouth.

to take note of his surprised expression from the corner of my eyes.
“So you knew,” he felt embarrassed. “I am sorry for treating you like a tool at
the time. I was mistaken in thinking that Bix loved you and that’s why he could
not accept my love. When in reality it turned out he was protecting you because
you were his cousin. I also very aggressive to you after Willow returned to the
pack. I… I really feel like a shit…”

“It’s okay,” I clasped his hand and locked eyes with him, “I have done some
unforgivable things in my life, that are nowhere close to any of the silly things
that you were responsible for in order to gain your
mate’s attention and love, Oran. At this point in life when I have nothing left to
lose except myself, I have learnt a lot of things from you guys. On
of them is to forgive and move on,” I smiled to lighten the guilt.
He nodded guiltily, givinga hug, “I will miss you. Keep in touch with us,” he
remarked.
“I will,” I smiled, hugging him back happily. We chatted a lot for a long time
before he left.
As soon as I finished checking over the room to make sure I hadn’t missed
anything, Wyatt dashed
fi. in.
“Aunt Ella, I have brought you a farewell gift!” Wyatt excitedly showedthe
sweet berries he was cradling in his chubby little palms.
“Wow! They are my favorite!” I excitedly squatted down to his height and tested
one of them, “They are absolutely delicious. Thank you!” I rubbed his little hand
lovingly. Over the past few days I had a collection of great interactions with
both of the twins thanks to… Walter. Since he was staying at my place the
children would cover to play and that’s how they had grown a little closer
to me. Spending all that twith them, I felt as if I also wanted one for myself
but it was just a crazy thought given my current situation.
“You are welcome, Aunt Ella,” the little guy’s ears turned red at the compliment.
“Please cto visitagain.”

“Of course I will cto visit you. You are so cute after all!” I lovingly pinched
his cheeks, regretting deep in my heart that I had not interacted with these

“Aunt Ella!” That’s when Lori cin with a rose in her hand for me. I gave both
children a hug.
“Are you sure you don’t want to stay a little longer?” Willow stood in the door
frwatching me.
“It’s already too late. I even stayed a week longer than I intended,” I chuckled,
getting up from the fioor and grabbing my luggage. During those days the two of
us had talked a lot and had grown as comfortable with each other as we had
been in the past.
“Okay but have you decided what you are going to do next or where you are
going?” She asked worriedly as we both made our way out of my bedroom to
the living room.
I was silent for a moment before I revealed, “I will go abroad.”
“Are you sure?” Willow was surprised as I expected.
I nodded, “I want a fresh start that is impossible in this country where my past
will continue to haunt me. Thanks to Reuben, no werewolf pack will bother me
but I still can’t bring myself to stay You could say that I am starting a new life,” I
explained.
“Starting a new life? I thought you and Walter were together,” Willow
commented.
When she mentioned Walter, my feet abruptly paused of their own
accord. “We… we are not like that,” I found myself stuttering when I recalled his
ki*ss from days ago. His touch and lips had been so tender on my skin that I had
spent more than one sleepless night since he confessed his impure- intentions
towards me. I had forgotten my pain and sorrow while living with him. He filled
that empty void in my heart but then… “He has disappeared for a couple of days
without a word. He was just staying at my place, that’s all,” I forced a smile,
being careful not to meet Willow’s eye.

After that Willow did not askabout it again but she knew what was going on

It should not affectlike this when I was not a virgin. I had a lot of experience
with men. On top of that we were just a man and woman that had kis*sed and

moment.
Approaching the living room, I hugged Willow for the last time. “Reuben did not
come?” I asked.
“Umm… Reuben wants to speak with you upstairs,” she gestured towards one of
the bedrooms.
“Upstairs?” I thought it was strange but I went upstairs.
Unbeknownst toafter I left, Reuben cout of the kitchen to the living
room and hugged Willow’s waist from the side, watching my vanishing back.
“Did we do that right?” Willow looked at him worriedly.
“Yeah, don’t worry,” he smiled at her concerned face and gently nipped her
nose, “Let’s go.”

Later, when I entered the room looking for Reuben, I froze in place when the
person in front of him was not Reuben but…
“Ella…” Alpha Adam calledlovingly.
I felt my emotions fiuctuate all over the place when I saw his face after so long.
He looked so messed up that he could have easily been mistaken for a
homeless person.
“Why are you here?” My voice was barely above the whisper.
“I requested this favor of Reuben,” he gently placed a hand on my head. It felt
so warm that it maderealize that I had been wrong all along. Not everyone
had left me. There had always been one person that was watching out for me
even though I had told him that I hated him and did not want anything to do
with him. He put his ego aside and had been living in Emerald Bright just to be
close to me. “Ella, I know you hate me, and don’t wish to seeever again but I
just wanted to see you this one last time, my girl.” The guilt of his crimes
againstand my ignorance had broken his heart. He looked like someone
that had given up the will to live. My heart grew heavier as my eyes watered.
“Dad is… I mean… I am really sorry for being such a horrible father to you. I
destroyed your life with my own two hands. I deserve your hate but you do have
a bright future ahead. So I want to make sure you don’t get discouraged.
Everyone makes mistakes, there are only a few people that are willing to accept
them and seek redemption. You are one of those precious gems, Ella,” he
smiled, k*issing my forehead. “Go and find your happiness, my girl.”
Listening to him, I broke down into tears and could not stop myself from
hugging him. “You too, I don’t want you to feel guilty. I forgive you.”
He could not stop his tears either as he huggedtightly but no words came
from his mouth. I pulled away from him and wiped at his tears. “I don’t want to
be sad right now. If you wantto move one then please move on with your
life too,” I requested. requested.
He nodded, his eyes red and teary. I held his hand and looked deep into his
eyes, “I am not leaving you. I am just going to do something that will secure my
future. One day, I will return and then we will live together,” I stated, surprising
him.
“Are you sure? You will chto dad… I mean you will return to me?”
I nodded with a smile, “Yes, I will be back soon so wait forin this house. Stay
safe and be happy.”
His lifeless face and eyes beamed with hope. Something that I craved to see.
Stlater, I walked out of my house with Alpha Adam. I had already called
a taxi that was waiting forin front of the house. Reuben, Willow, and Oran
stood by the taxi waiting for me, their lips spread in wide smiles to see the two
of us together.
“Don’t forget to dropa message once in a while,” Willow remarked, hugging
me. I nodded.
“This hug is from Bix and I,” Oran gave a big hug. I giggled.
Reuben and I did not hug each other. “Take care,” he remarked, as we shook
hands.
“Thanks,” I smiled, then gave one last hug to Alpha Adam before I got into the
taxi.

As the taxi began to pull away, I could not help but look back at everyone. I was
so thankful to the Goddess that I had so many beautiful people in my life.
Especially… my father. I smiled at him, waving goodbye.
He was surprised and immediately waved in return but this this face was
filled with happiness rather than tears.
I wiped my tears away and calmed my emotions as the taxi finally exited the
Emerald Bright territory. Now my path was set for the airport. I looked out of the
window the entire way, unable to shake the feeling that something was missing.
I didn’t even realize forty minutes had passed when the taxi halted at the
airport.
I got out,once I stood outside the airport with my luggage, I finally realized that I
didn’t really want to go. I felt lonely…
“I am not late, am I?” A familiar voice entered my ears. Surprised, I immediately
looked over to find Walter standing there with his luggage.
“Why are you here?” My eyes were wide and my heart was beating faster.
“Is it not obvious?” he drew closer then pulledinto his chest. “We are going
together.”
“Together?” I gasped, my voice barely above the whisper.
“Yes, after all lovers live together, right?” He touched my cheek, his eyes filled
with emotion when he confessed, “I love you, Ella. Do you love this hunter that
can’t live without you?”
My heart drummed rapidly in my ch*st out of shock as the world around us
seemed to disappear. “I am a werewolf and you are a hunter,” I whispered.
“We are just lovers,” he whispered back, leaning closer to my face.
“People will not accept us,” I felt my breathing becerratic with our
proximity.

I held my breath but failed to get my heartbeat under control. My wolf appeared
in my eyes to see the man that truly loved me. I tore my eyes away from him
and started walking away with luggage.
Walter’s expression morphed into one of rejection. I stopped on my tracks,
glancing back at him. “You are not coming? I thought you wantedto come
with you?”
His face brightened as he ran over to hug me. “You naughty girl. You were
teasing me!”
I giggled, hugging him back, “You deserve it.”
