Chapter 28

**ELLA**

When I began to regain consciousness, the first thing I realized was the pain in the back of my head. I slowly opened my eyes, and it was dark I could not understand the room I was in. The smell of mold and blood hit my nose and made me groan.
I pressed my hands down to the ground and tried to get up, to sit in a sitting position and pressed my head back against the wall because I was too dizzy.
The memories of my meeting with Olivia came to my mind; my friend betrayed me, hit me on the head and brought me Goddess knows where. I wonder how long I have not had my senses; I cannot understand if it is day or night since there is no window to see outside. Another thing I realized is that Aria is nowhere to be found, no matter how much I try to communicate with her, I do not even feel her presence. I caught on the back of my head and my hair is wet from the blood, and since I do not have my wolf, it has not healed at all. I wonder what they have done to me, and I feel so weak; I cannot use my strength either.
I feel that my eyes heavy and I lie down again on the ground, and I let the darkness swallow me once again with my last thought being my family. Have they realized that I am missing, they have started looking for me?
I felt a pain in the abdomen, and it made me fold.
"Wake up, we didn't bring you here to sleep."
I opened my eyes and saw a man standing next to me. His face was not clearly visible because of the light coming from behind him. But by smell I could understand that he is rogue. He pulled me by the hair and lifted my head higher.
"Welcome to hell." He told me and left my hair.
He left the room locking the door behind him. My belly hurts a lot, it will leave a mark.
I do not know how much time has passed, maybe hours, I completely lost my sense of time in here when the door opened suddenly.
My eyes took a few seconds to get used to the light. Then I saw him the one I wanted to look for on my own from the beginning. His crooked smile showed how much he enjoyed the situation I was in.
"We meet again. How are you, sister?" he said and approached me.
I did not answer him, but I kept looking him in the eyes.
"You have nothing to say? I won, Ella, although it took me some time, I won."
"What do you want from me?" I screamed. "Wasn't it enough that you killed our whole pack? Your own family?"
"They took that they deserved. But do not waste our time for the past. Now that you are here, we will do remarkable things together."
"You're crazy if you think I'm going to collaborate with you," I yelled at him, and he smiled.
"We will work together sooner or later." He turned to leave but stopped at the door and looked at me over his shoulder.
"You have to feel lucky. That night if I had found you, I would have killed you. But now I have other plans for you." He said and closed the door.

I cannot believe that I am here, in front of him completely helpless. Suddenly the filter given to me by Esmeralda came to my mind, I searched my pocket but did not find it. I must have fallen, nice, now without even Aria or the filter I am completely at his mercy. I hope Jonathan manages to find me quickly. My Goddess at least keep him and my child safe.
I started rubbing my arms, it was quite cold, and water was dripping from some places. The floor is damp, and my clothes are wet, so it did not help at all. I closed my eyes and memories came to my mind

**Flashback**

"Damian, look!" I told him as I saw him coming towards me.
"Look, do you like it?" I asked him when I showed him the frozen rose, I had made. He knelt beside me and started stroking my head.
"'It's beautiful."
In my eyes he was my hero. Every time a child made fun of me for my appearance, he would step in and support me. He was the only person other than Mia who did not feel uncomfortable with who I am. I could easily use my powers in front of them and they always enjoyed it.
"Dad said he would start training me tomorrow." I told him excitedly.
"That's good. You will become extraordinarily strong. " I hugged him, but he started tickling me and I was screaming and trying to escape from his hands but in vain. My stomach was starting to ache from the laughter when he finally let me breathe.
"At some point I will finally beat you." I tried to say when I calmed down.
"You wish." he said and started tickling me again.
This is how the days when I was a child passed, they were the best days of my life.

**End**

Tears came to my eyes, and I wiped them with the back of my hand. My childhood with him was so good. He was so my knight. He loved me and was always by my side. One day when I went to his room to talk to him, I did not find him, and I started looking inside the house for him. Until I heard my father talking to my mother in his office

**Flashback**
"Please. Do not do that." My mother was begging him, and I could understand from her voice she was crying.
"No way. He does not deserve to be here. I gave him endless opportunities but that was the drop that overflowed the glass. " His voice was stern. I stayed behind the door and listened to him anxiously. At first, I could not understand who they were talking about.
"Please, he is still young. I'm sure he regretted it."
"My love, you were there when the doctor made his diagnosis. Damian cannot be among us, he is dangerous for everyone."
My mom was crying non-stop, and I heard him sighed.
"Do not cry, you are tearing my heart. I will send people with him to make sure he is well. "But if he was able to send his partner to the hospital, I cannot imagine what he would do to others."
My brother, my hero, is gone. He almost killed his mate. A mate that I did not even know. I want to see him, to talk to him, to understand what happened. That day I lost him forever.

**End**

I lay down and closed my eyes trying to fall asleep having all these images. How from a happy family, we became like this? And now in here without any help and without knowing what he has in mind to do with me. My dad made mistakes, he did not have to chase him, he had to help him. But I also did not help him, he was always by my side, and I left him at the mercy of his illness. We all let him become the monster he is now.
The voices I heard in the corridor took me out of my thoughts. But without Aria I am just a person without the ability to hear or smell better. I got up by force and walked slowly to the door where I put my ear so I could listen.
"I told you, you were not allowed to go there." A man shouted.
"She has to eat for more than a day. She is weak." That was Olivia's voice. The more I listen to her, the more I want to start shouting about her betrayal.
"The boss gave the order."
"I don't care what your boss say."
"I really want to hear you tell him."
"He knows it."
"Then what do you want here?" He asked her. Now their speech is calmer.
"You know the reason. They already know that I was behind everything. My head almost exploded from Jonathan's voice the first day. Now I no longer belong to their pack. I have nowhere to go."
I couldn't hear anything else. They left from the corridor. I leaned my back against the wall next to the door and sat down.
At least now I know he is looking for me. I wish I knew where I was, I wish I could communicate with him and tell him my location. I am sure he is worried.
I was unconscious for a day, but even now my head is heavy. I lay down and closed my eyes trying to sleep. In my dreams, I am not in pain, and I am with them, happy. I am away from this hell. I know I have to be strong but right now I feel like I'm losing hope.
