Falling asleep was effortless next to him, his warmth blanketed over me, his earthy scent cocooned me making my body at ease of its own accord while his body held me tight. His breaths drew heavier as he too neared the sweet oblivion of sleep.

I willed my mind to stop racing as I too let sleep become me. How long passed before the sounds of dishes clattering and possibly shattering woke me up I will never know.

Looking over at the alarm click on the oak bedside table, I turned in Elijah arms so I could read the numbers earning a grunt from him as he tried to pull me back to me previous position.

I pulled back however determined to check the time. Shit. 12:38pm I don't usually sleep in but I'm guessing a late night mixed with plenty of alcohol will do that to a person.

Pulling myself the rest of the way from Elijah's grip I sat up on the edge of the bed and attempted to stretch away my tiredness with a yawn but the pounding in my head and the nauseating feeling soon had me leaning and resting my head against the headboard.

Elijah took full advantage of this pulling me back down into his arms wrapped in a cascade of blankets. A few more minutes wouldn't hurt anyone, right?

A few minutes soon turned into an hour before we were once again woken by the loud occupants of the house. "we really do have to get up this time" I sighed giving Elijah's shoulder a nudge when he made no effort to move and get up out of bed.

"no we don't we can stay here forever, come back I'll show you" Elijah pleaded reaching for my arm as I stood up from the warmth of the bed and his body.

"the big bad lazy alpha" I mocked with a devilish smile as I pulled his t-shirt over my head.

He squinted his eyes at me while pouting his big luscious lips that like a sulking child would.

I shook my head as I walked out of the room, down the corridor and into my own room to get dressed.

I chose out some comfy clothes knowing we'd be heading back home later that night, I first pulled on a pair of grey high waist gym pants and a matching grey sports bra.





I quickly sorted my hair and washed my face then finally brushed my teeth twice to try erase the taste of alcohol from my mouth.

Once I was done I headed downstairs, past the living room where I can hear everyone is and make my way to the kitchen to make myself a much needed glass of water.

I stop just out of eyesight by the kitchen doorway when I hear two familiar voices whispering, I was turning around to walk away when I hear what they said.

I quickly but quietly turned back around to continue to listen when I felt arms wrap around me. Stephan. I could tell from his soft and sweet scent.

"what you ease dropping on for?" he whispered into my ear.

I place my finger over my mouth silently telling him to be quiet so I could listen to what the two voices had to say.

"when will you tell them the truth?" leas usually sweet and comforting voice whispered though I found no comfort in it now something was off I could feel it, dread settled in the pit of my stomach.

"I'm not yet ready for that" Laura replied to her.

"you have to tell them sooner or later" lea once again spoke.

"and what?" Laura said a bit louder now with an edge to her voice. "besides it won't do any good to anyone of I tell them that just because I didn't want to stay with Stephan at his house and wanted to stay with Elijah I lied, that the whole story about my mum and dad kicking me out for not choosing my mate is fucking made up!! " she whisper shouted.

My jaw dropped open, then quickly clenched tightly shut, my fist clenched at my sides as my knuckles turned white. I held Tink back who was begging in my head for a piece of Laura but I denied her control, Laura was mine to deal with.

I stomped forward and into the kitchen flinging the door open with a loud bang which echoed through the whole cabin as it bashed off the wall.

Stephan was right behind me. "you lied" we both said in sync the words laced in poison, quiet but dangerous.

Laura's face was painted with surprise. "Stephan" she said softly teaching her hand out for Stephan who flinched away from her touch.

"answer the dam question" I spat taking a step closer to her with a low growl.

Laura hung her head down "I'm sorry" she said in her pretense sweet girl voice but it didn't fool me anymore, I could see exactly who she was.

I turned my gaze to lea ignoring Laura. Lea had her head down avoiding my gaze.

"how could you" Stephan said in a voice laced with disgust.

"I just didn't want to.." Laura tried to defend herself before u cut her off.

"what? You just didn't want me to be with Elijah" I shouted uncaring of the people that could hear as multiple sets of footsteps approached and people gathered but I didn't turn my head from Laura to see who had come.

"you just didn't want to be with me" Stephan said pain clear in his voice.

"what's going on in here?" a voice that right now made my skin crawl filled the room.

I looked over to Elijah who was leaning in the door frame, his hair still messy from bed his voice still deep and cloudy from sleep.

Laura whispered "they know" as she tried to run past me to hide behind Elijah. Realization hit me, I momentarily from pain.

"you knew" I whispered

I quickly reached and tightly gripped Laura arm like a vice making her wince in pain before she reached the security of Elijah. And I once again pushed her behind me.

"since when..?" I asked Elijah my eyes pleading as the stared at him.

Elijah's eyes closed for a second as he let out a long breath before he answered me. "since the day you moved in with Stephan" he said his eyes looking to the floor before looking back up to me.

"you lied to us, you both lied to us" I screamed as I stormed over to Elijah and before I even knew it I was him with a jack hammer of a fist in the face. Again and again I punched him unrelentingly.

He didn't try stop me or defend himself making me all the more angry, my fury didn't ebb not even when I could feel the warmth of blood run down my fist and arm. Both mine and his.

I unclenched my fist mid swing hitting his face with a otherworldly slap which caused his head to thrash and turn making blood splatter from his face and up the walls.

Before I could land another hit a hand stopped me. I swung my fist at the new comer before stopping myself when seeing Stephan.

"not worth it" he whispered to me letting me go.

I took a step back to look around the room which everyone was now in.

"who else knew?" I grated.

The room fell silent. Deadly. Eyes averted to anywhere but me. Even Danielle's and Evans.

"Evan, Danielle tell me you didn't know" I said my voice almost breaking but I refuse to let it out.

"Ryan told me when we got together.. I told Evan, we didn't want to hurt you. We thought it would be better coming from them" Danielle tried to explain herself but I cut her off unwilling to let her finish.

"shut up, you didn't want to hurt me, so instead you say back and watched as I made an idiot of myself... You all did. And you" I turned my gaze back to Elijah though he was pretty unrecognizable through the blood and swelling on his face though I could see it healing right before my eyes. Stupid alpha abilities.

"and you my dear mate, you took me to bed on a lie, you made a mockery of me"

"t-took her to bed? Elijah what is she talking about?" Laura's all too annoying voice screeched.

"really!?" I was facing her in a second.

"that's what you pock up on, do you want to know all the dirty details of how he fucked me, then made love to me.. Again and again?... Hmm?" I took a step closer to her making her take two back but I didn't stop my pursuit as she scrambled backwards until her legs reached the cupboards blocking her in.

" do you want me to tell you all the sweet nothings he whispered in my ear, all the promises he made to me or would you like me to tell you all that he had to say about you and your loveless relationship?" I shouted still slowly making my way to her.

"n-no! It's not loveless he does love me I know it!" she screeched "everything was fine until you" she shouted but instantly cowarded. To late.

My swollen sore hand caught her face with a slap the sound could of shattered glass. "it was you who ruined this" another slap to the other side of her face. "you are the one who chose a yet to be mated partner" another slap. " knowing he'd soon find his destined mate" another slap. " and even then you wouldn't give him up" another slap "even though he never wanted you"

I hit her with a final slap which hit much harder then the rest on her red, swollen and bloodied cheeks that were wet from her endless tears making it look like she'd just walked into a bees nest.

Her knees gave way as she fell to the floor and continued to cry, nobody dared help her as she cuddled into herself whaling and sniffing while she cried.

I turned to walk away when Danielle and lea tried to stop me "you were supposed to be my friends" I told them disappointment evident in my tone.

Stephan squeezed my shoulder before walking out,

I let out a big breath moth bothering to look back at anyone as I walked out the kitchen through the empty hallways and to the large front doors.

I grabbed the door handle to get out of the cabin when I felt a hand in my arm, the once amazing sparks now felt like torture.

Elijah turned me so I was facing him, his face now completely back to normal except for the now dried blood but even most of that was now gone and had been wiped away by his t-shirt.

I puffed my cheeks trying to keep myself from crying and hold myself together, I would not cry here not in front of him.

"why?" I asked him while searching his eyes praying there was an explanation.

"she was scared" he explained enlightingmy anger all over again as I swung my fist hitting his freshly healed nose again. He showed no sign of pain so I did it Again, he still wouldn't budge so once again I found myself punching him over and over unable to stop.

"I love you" I told him between punches unstoppable tears slipped from my eyes, down my cheek and dripped off my face. So much for not crying.

I took a deep breath, resting my forehead against his tough chest trying to comfort in the contact and sounds of his heart steady beats.

But it wasn't comforting, it was painful as if each beat made a mockery of me.

"I love you, I really do" I whispered my voice breaking ever so slightly.

"but I'm tired of loving you" I told him raising my head off his chest. "loving you is the most exhausting thing I've ever done" I told him looking directly into his big brown eyes.

"so I won't do it anymore" I said before leaving the cabin not letting him reply.

I ran towards the woods following Stephan's scent, I was fast as I knew Elijah was trying to follow me but once his presence ebbed away I let my pace slow.

When I found Stephan he had his head on a tree a broken expression on his face.

He stood up straight when he scented me and pulled me into his chest hugging me showing me he truly understood my pain right now, he might be the only one in the world that does.

" he knew" I said my voice muffled by his shirt that I openly cried into no longer trying to hold back the tears the poured down my face.

"she lied" he said against my head hurt seeping through him. " we'll be okay, you'll be OK" he whispered

"no" I shook my head stepping back from him.

"yes you will be Trin-" Stephan didn't get chance to finish.

"no I won't be, I think I broke my hand on his stupid face" I said holding up my inured hand making Stephan laugh.

"se joking already" he said laughing making me too laugh.

We left in a rental car, a long quiet ride but none of us felt like talking and thats okay.

Instead of going to Stephan's place we decided to crash at mine.

"I'm so tired" Stephan said plopping head down onto my sofa while I grabbed some ice for my swollen hand.

I sat besides a closed eyed Stephan as the sun rising outside peeked through the gap in my not fully drawn curtains. But my heart was still low. I ached.

We both soon drifting off to sleep together unknowingly on the sofa too tired to make the journey up to the bed.

I woke up to the sound of Stephan squirting whipped cream into his mouth stating from the can.

"you're vile" I said while getting up and snatching the whip cream can from his hand and squirting some into my own mouth.

I sat on top of the island in the kitchen continuing to eat the whipped cream whilst Stephan searched the cupboards and fridge for any actual food.

"you won't find anything in there" I tried to tell him but he of course didn't listen and continued to search.

"dam it I left my phone at the cabin" he said smacking down his pockets.

"me too" I groaned but was interrupted by a loud pounding knock on the front door.

I scrunched my eyebrows together as I slipped off the island and went to open the door.

My eyes went wide at the sight in front of me.

My mother... Dragging a certain alpha Elijah by the ear with a stern and serious expression painted on her face.

"who is it little wolfie" Stephan's voice called from behind me as he peered at the door.

My mum looked at Stephan and then to me then Elijah then back at me once again.

I could feel the blood draining from my face, as I suddenly felt heavy on my feet. My mum gave me the mum look. The one all mums have that tells you one thing for sure:

"you've got some serious explaining to do young lady" my mum said in a stern voice.

And so I did, while the boys were in the living room doing goddess knows what but I'm sure they're having plenty fun.

I was in the kitchen explaining everything to my mum. everything.

"what?" she exasperated.

"uh.. You want me to explain it all again?" I asked raising my eyebrow at her.

She shook her head at me her face serious once again. "no.. No please don't" she said taking a deep breath

"people like you and me dear, we're not.. We're not special, never have been never will be and when life gives you a good strong mate like that you take it by the horns and hold on tight and if the silly boy knew what was good for him he wouldn't rebuke you" she said stroking my cheek, my mother sure did have a way with words but she meant well she always did.

She then quickly took my arm dragging me behind her as she walked into the living room to where the boys we're sat silently looking away from one another on opposite sides of the sofa.

"so you've been living with this boy" my mum stated more than asked while gesturing to Stephan with a point of her head. He nodded at her with a smile in return.

The look on my mums face made me think she could fain in that second.

"darling do you mind going to his house where Laura is?" my mum asked Stephan while pointing at Elijah.

Stephan looked like he could vomit at the mere though of seeing Laura now he was the one who looked like he could faint, but one look at my mums face which wore a smile that promises a lot of pain and screamed 'I'm pissed off'.

Instead of disagreeing or arguing Stephan nodded and said "of course" with a smile that was obviously forced and painful for him.

He stood up from his seat on the sofa without so much as looking in Elijah's direction.

He walks to the front door with me following behind to show him out. "good luck" he says to me with a sympathetic look back at me as he walks out of the house.

"you too" I say back to him but it was more to myself as u close the front door behind him with a sigh.

When I turned back around I noticed my mum had been watching us.

"you two" she said in a dominant voice as if she wasn't addressing an alpha as she stood with her hands on her hips ever the sassy woman in charge.

"do you know how special having a mate is?" though her voice wasn't raised her anger was pulsing from them.

She was pacing in front of us as I sat on the other side of the sofa that Stephan had just left. I could feel the pain in her words though her expression showed none.

" I can't believe how you kids nowadays try and defy the bond... You should of known better trinity, did the stories of me and your dad teach you nothing!" she said and she seemed a bit taken aback by her own words.

A lump formed in the back of my throat as I lowered my head no longer wanting to look at my mother knowing disappointment stated back at me.

" mum it's complicated" I tried to explain to her but she didn't give me the chance to.

"don't mum it's complicated me young lady" she said tutting at me as she grabbed something from the bookshelf behind her.

She walked over towards us on the sofa hands behind her back as she stared down at us both "hands" she demanded of us both holding out one of her own.

We both held out one of our hand and placed it in her awaiting one expecting a smack on the wrist like a small child would revive for misbehaving.

Instead we were greeted with the metallic snapping sound of.. Cuffs.

I looked down at my left wrist which was now sure enough joined to Elijah's right one with metal handcuffs.

I could feel the cold metal on my skin so cold it felt like it burned, no it did burn it stung and felt hot and cold at the same time as it pressed tightly against my skin.

"silver cuffs" my mum said happily as she looked at our connected wrists. "works like a charm" she said as she gleefully clapped her hands together before she quickly skipped out the house ignoring my calls after her.

"mum you can't leave us like this" I shout and jump up from the sofa to try chase her but Elijah's lack of movement made fly back and land on my bum as the cuff pulled tight against my wrist making me wince.

This can not be happening, what kind of crazy woman hand cuffs her own daughter to the very man who tormented her endlessly.

My mother who was never home was now making my life a living hell. My mother was never home.. The thought turned in my head for a second before realization hit.

There was really few reasons she returned, and it was now October 20th meaning the ball was in 5 days.

The ball was a charity event out pack held every year to raise money for orphaned pups, it was a mandatory event for our lack everyone attended meaning Elijah's parents would too be in town.

These past few months had been so hectic I hadn't realized we were already fastly approaching the ball which every year I was selected to preform at, the ball consisted of 2 nights the 25th and the 26th where 4 people preformed there own music.

This year I hadn't organized anything not my songs or my gowns which some woman could easily go through 5 in just one of the nights.

Just another thing Elijah had messed up for me and now I can't get away from him.
