His Rejected Mate

Chapter 13

Ella's POV

Remo’s POV

"She had a walk around the gardens." Colt reported to me about Ella's whereabouts.

"Good." I dismissed him relaxing on my chair and looking at the files on my desk.

"Remo." Christian looked distressed, which was unusual for him.

"What?" I asked on edge, my wolf alarmed at my beta's look.

"We have new information." He said handing me some papers.

I instantly opened them and read what was there. My blood ran cold as I looked at the pictures.

I knew this man even from his hands, because they were the only things I always saw.

I growled and stood up. I knew that he would be back, but I didn't know he had the guts to be back so early. It had been a while, and we were searching for him, but it looks like he was preparing for us.

I know what this man is capable of, so does Chris and Maddox.

Us three have lived what no one else did.

Maddox stormed inside the room with the same fücking hunting eyes he always looks at us with.

“I heard.” He snapped but kept his calm like always.

“We will kill him.” Chis said looking at the both of us as if waiting for our approval.

As if we wouldn’t approve. I have plans for this man and I can’t wait to put my hands on him.

Few years ago.

The same laugh we always hear haunted these cold walls. I waited for his appearance ready to kill him. My body was still frail and unready but I was willing to do everything to get us three out of this fücking shït hole.

Chris and Maddox relied on me, and I can’t let them down.

Suddenly a high level of wolfsbane was poured on us in our cells. We stayed calm, we didn’t scream, we didn’t cower, but we were in intense pain.

I couldn’t see anymore as my vision started to black out, and I felt like pealing my skin from the pain it was causing me.

He laughed to hear our screams so we made sure not to utter a single word or sound.

Back to the present.

It’s just that now, I have a weakness.

Fück.

He will try to attack us while going for Ella. I will rip his head from his body if he comes close to her.

I can barely anything, but she is still fragile.

“Chris, I want you to train Ella.” I said.

“What! That’s not my job.” He rolled his eyes looking at me waiting to tell him that it’s a joke.

“I trust you with her and she needs to be trained.” I replied looking at the pictures again clenching my fists.

“Fine.” Chris replied shrugging.

“We need to strengthen the security around the pack. I want more troops in the east side of the territory.” I said and they both nodded.

“Harsh days are coming.” We all smirked waiting the thrill of the action.

Of the killing.

We are waiting for him to come to us so we can finish him once and for all. So that we can avenge our younger selves.

Ella’s POV

"It's boring you know." I said.

"What is?"

"Being a Luna. I have nothing to do." I rolled my eyes.

"You are wrong Luna. You have many duties, it's just that you are not ready yet." He said and I raised an eyebrow.

"What gives?"

"I didn't mean to say that you are weak Luna. The king is worried for your safety. He doesn't say it or show it, but I've lived my entire life with him and I know him very well."

I looked away and didn't say anything, because what he is saying is unbelievable. I mean yeah he is gentle with me a little when we are alone, but he still scares me. I won't forget that he is a cold hearted killer.

"Remember Luna, everything is an act around here."

I smiled and nodded as we made our way back to the castle.

It’s a habit of ours now. To have walks around the gardens.

Colt and I can talk and I feel more comfortable around him. He is like a brother that can hear everything I say nodding and encouraging me.

It just feels like I belong here, like this is my place from the beginning.

I still fear that one day Remo would find a more suitable mate for him.

A stronger one. A smarter one.

A mate that won’t embarrass him and he has every right to that.

I am a wolfless she wolf. The irony makes me want to laugh and cry at the same time.

When will I be enough ?
