After donating enough blood for Brandon, I was overwhelmed. His parents are stealthily looking at me. They would like to talk to me but they don't dare . As soon as the blood was ready, the doctors returned to the room and began preparing Brandon for the transfusion.
"Do you still need me or can I leave?" I asked before retiring.
"Where are you going?" Michael jumped up in a panic.
"Exactly where I came from. If my presence is no longer needed, I will retire." I said and got up from my chair to get out of this place faster.
Seeing Brandon on the verge of death was not as comforting as I thought. Damn bond mate! As soon as he recovers, I will accept the rejection. I will return especially to break this last connection I have with the Golden Moon pack wich is the mate bond with the future alfa.
"Luna, Alpha Brandon still needs you. Your mere presence near him will help his wolf to recover. Can't you stay?" the doctor asks slightly confused.
"I'am not the luna of this pack. I don't want to hear anything about it or I'm leaving right now! I'm nothing for this pack like I've always been!"
"Elle, calm down" I hear Thalia behind me.
"There's nothing to calm down, luna. If you didn't need me to help your son today, I wouldn't stand in front of you. I just want you to leave me alone. That's all I ask from you." and I walk away from them on the other side of the room.
"Elle, sis ..." says Michael softly. How I longed to hear him speak to me gently ...
"No more sis ... You are not my brother anymore. I am alone in this world. Leave me alone."
"Kevin ..." I hear Thalia , "Do you think iti is safe to leave them alone?"
I burst out laughing.
"You can rest easy , luna. Your son will be safe. What do you think I'll do to him? Will I beat him in front of the pack? Will I humiliate him in front of everyone or will I rape him in front of my friends? Go away and leave me alone, or I will go and you will take care of alfa Brandon by yourself."
Luna Thalia begins to cry as Alpha Taylor leaves the room without saying a word.
"Leave, Michael! I don't want to see you."
Left alone in the living room, I approach to the bed where Brandon is lying. He's so pale ... Brandon Taylor in his normal days is like a god down to earth. He's a gorgeous man. Blond hair, blue eyes, fleshy lips, two delicious dimples in the middle of the cheeks ... The gods were generous when they looked at him. He's Brad Pitt from werewolf world. He is 6.7 feet tall and has an athletic physique. A few tattoos pierce his arms making him look like a viking. I look at him and I feel like I'm going crazy.
With a trembling hand, I touch the tattoos on his left hand. I feel hypnotized by them. There are thorns surrounded by roses. The drawing climbs on the cloth to the shoulder and then descends slightly on the back and chest. It's a great drawing. I follow it lightly with my fingers feeling tingling as I walk my finger over the tattoo. Something is written between thorns and roses near the heart. A name. "My Forever Elle".
I put my hand to my mouth and sigh. What the f**k is this? Is this a bad joke?
"He did the tattoo about two months after you left." I hear Jake Sullivan knocking on the door.
"Why would he do that?" I asked irritably. "Did he have fun on my birthday and wanted to be a day to remember?"
"That's what you're going to ask him, Elle, if you want an answer." Jake says shyly.
"What's your nose doing?" I ask him ironically. "I see I haven't moved it far enough away."
Jake starts laughing. " You are a badass warrior, Madame! It was the punch of my life, I don't think I've ever been hit harder."
"You escaped easily, Jake! You were lucky I didn't have the strength I have now," I say, almost laughing.
"I'm sorry, Elle."
Jake and Michael visited Brandon every day and I had to endure their broken and embarrassed looks. I'm already starting to get annoyed.
Luna Thalia checks her son daily to see if I did anything to him Maybe I should cut his c**k and stuff it down his throat.
I bet luna would have something to remember. Alpha Kevin Taylor comes in every day and asks me if I need anythig. I do not need anything. That's what I tell him every day, but he doesn't seem to hear me because he brings me change of clothes and food every day. I can't say I'm not happy but I really don't need anything.
I stayed in the hospital with Brandon for two weeks. Fortunately, Brandon's hospital room has a private bathroom and a comfortable sofa that I could rest on.
To see him every day for two weeks, to see the one who hurt me so much and because of which I reached the peak of despair it's an calvary.
"Wake up, Brandon!" I say softly in his ear.
"Elle ..." I hear him say in a hoarse voice and I jump as if I were sitting on hot coals, scared of him. "water...please"
I immediately took a glass of water and helped him swallow a few mouthfuls of water.
Brandon looks at me in shock.
"Elle?" he asks me shocked, "Have I died and am I in heaven?"
"You're as alive as you can be. I'm going to call the doctor." I say to him.
"Elle... wait ..." he says trying to reach out to hold my hand but I hear him screaming in pain.
"Stay there quietly, the doctor will come to see you immediately," I tell him and leave the room.
I called the doctor and then left the hospital. I think I'll leave it to the other time to accept the rejection. I need to get out of here. After two weeks of sitting next to him, of regularly donating blood for him, after two weeks of caring for him almost non-stop, I feel exhausted and lost. Damn it! I can't reject him today. My heart doesn't let me do it.
I want to leave this place.
I left the hospital walking down the street under the watchful eyes of the pack members. Everyone knows what happened on the battlefield and with the rogues attack. Some smile at me, others shake their heads with respect. I ignore them all. It's time to dump the pack and move on. I walked for tens of minutes until I left the pack house aria and entered the forest.
Transformed into a wolf, I let Athena choose where we are going from now on. I'm not afraid of any harm with her near me. With her, I know that nothing can touch me.
Arriving at the border of the pack without looking back, I said the words that I avoided saying in the last 4 months.
"I Elle Parker, the beta female of the Golden Moon pack, break all ties with this pack and free myself from any oath of allegiance ever made. I'm a free werewolf from today on!"
May my new life begin!
