Charlie and Ella 1
Ella POV:
It was hard enough, leaving my family and my friends, but knowing that I would be without the protection of my alpha and solely relying on the man that I loved, I felt slightly bare.
Never in my life did I imagine leaving my land. I remembered visiting his from when we first brought Luna home, but staying there living there as his Luna. I thought I’d never entered my mind because it was too prestigious for me to even think.
I held onto his hand tightly as we rounded the corner to enter his land. It was still very beautiful. I wasn’t accustomed to the heat, but it still seemed to appear even close to winter.
None of them would except me they expected a full-blooded alpha for their Luna. They expected somebody who could take down armies with a snap of her finger. I had seen the power of my own Luna. The only way she had been taken out was when she had just given birth, and even then she still succeeded and slicing three men twice her size into bits
What would they think of me? My shoulders went in a little bit and I slid down in my seat.
He told me that people would love me and be overjoyed that he had brought somebody home, but we both knew it was a lie.
Even in the car, the air was stiff. His mother glanced at me from time to time from the front seat.
I know she loved her children, but she also was traditional. She thought that he was out of my league and she wasn’t wrong. An entirely foolish endeavor, but I couldn’t help myself as terrified as I was, I was even more terrified of the thought of living a life without him.
Their beta announced us and car people came up smiling and cheering. I know that they had heard the news that was safe and sound and that the war was finally over. They still cared for her so much even though she had now moved on to her new pack.
This pack was very different from mine. There were no mountains to protect us. It was wide and open with cliffs on the far side. They had groves of trees with peaches and oranges and the fields were in the middle.
They didn’t have a center keep and their training center was much larger. Their houses were far grander than ours and their people adorned in fine clothes.
A woman walked up to me and held out her hand to lead me towards the alpha's house.
“ no no that’s not necessary, she’ll be staying with Carlisle,” his mother interfered.
The beta’s husband looked over with a questioning day at me. I was assuming that was Carlisle and he had no idea that I was staying with him.
“She’s my intended. She stays where I am,” Charlie put a protective arm around me.
I heard gasps and whispers. The cheering and smiles faltered for a moment. They could smell it on me, a wolf with no strong blood in her had no pace besides the golden prince.
“Eva that’s enough!” The alpha grabbed his wife and whispered.
From what my Luna had told me, her parents never argued so I saw the discerning glares come my way at this disruption to their happy world.
I felt as if I was covered, and the omen dropped at the doorstep, waiting to ruin everything that they held dear.
The Luna spun on her heel and marched off her house with a huff.
“Come let’s get you settled in,” Charlie held my hand and gave me a kind smile.
I still didn’t believe him that this would all work out and that we could survive the time between our findings and all the issues that would be brought up in between.
We have been inseparable since the time of our victory. In that bubble, it felt like anything was possible, but we had been splashed upon the beach of cold reality, and I was shivering in the mess.
I tried not to get to me as I walked behind him. I remembered that Luna told me all I had to do and they would be OK. I know she grew up here and I know that they all adored her. She had no doubt that they would accept me.
He guided me over to a guestroom. I remember it from when my alpha had passed out. It was a very nice house, with polished marble, wrought iron, a crystal chandelier.
I felt my throat close up a little little bit. We were humble where I came from. We didn’t do the extravagance to show our power. We just held it.
I straightened my back reminded of the ideals had been raised with, I was strong, and I had already survived a lot. I wouldn’t let anything take him from me.
He helped me unpack my clothes, and we sat there and silence for a little while both trying to figure out the right words to say. We wanted to make it through this, but it wouldn’t be easy.
“She’ll warm up eventually,” he attempted to comfort me, with a blatant lie that made me raise my eyebrows.
“Tell that to Grayson,” I countered.
He chuckled at that and came over, hugging me from behind. “ she’ll have to, we both know what can happen life’s too short. I don’t wanna miss a second of what could be,” he nuzzled into me a little bit.
On the outside, he put on the front of being a capable young man, but on the inside, just as my Luna had predicted he was very romantic.
“ promise me that you’ll stand by me no matter what they say,” I begged him spinning in his arms to face him.
“Of course,” he swore to me. “And don’t go running from the fight it’ll be a challenge, but I need you by my side,”
I leaned up on my tippy toes and gave him a quick kiss. As much as I wanted to stay here with him forever, I knew eventually we’d have to open the doors to my room.
His mother wanted a celebratory dinner tonight with all of the officials of the pack. Their elders and their council would be here except for Theo, of course.
I felt so bad for having to leave his brother in that state, but I had no doubt that he would return. We would have one more ally.
He left me to go and get ready for dinner and I sat down stealing myself for what was to come. Eva would throw everything at me, I had no doubt. She loved her children and she wanted what was best for them even if she didn’t know what that was.
She was his mother, and I wanted to have a good relationship with her, but after the way she had treated Alpha, I couldn’t hide the fact that she had been soured in my eyes.
I wouldn’t let her and wouldn’t go down without a fight. I decided to prepare for battle and put on armor that I could manage. Sadly, this was dinner so I couldn’t bring any actual weapons.
Still, a girl could dream…
