Chapter 32

**ELLA**
I opened my eyes and took a deep breath. I still have the feeling from his hand piercing my back. I cannot believe he did that. His only goal was to bring Jonathan to his knees so he could beat him.
"Are you ok?" Esmeralda's voice took me out of my thoughts, and I turned to look at her.
"What happened?" I asked her and looked around. I saw Olivia standing on the other side. We were in a cave that I have never seen in my life.
*Aria?*
*I am here*. She answered.
*Thank you, Goddess! How are you?*
*Fine. I was sleeping the whole time.*
"What the hell happened?" I asked both of them. Definitely, my brother killed me in font of everyone and now I am alive in a cave.
"We will explain everything. For now, I am glad you are awake. I was afraid, we were waiting hours for you to wake up."
"Speak now!" I growled.
"The night…" Olivia started but I interrupted her.
"Not you." After all she was the one who kidnapped me.
"Ella, that night, at the garden I heard your conversation with Olivia, and I tried to interfere, but she it hit you before I could get close to you. In a few words, she explained to me her plan and what she had heard about the filter I had given you. I found it good because you were not in danger."
"Are you crazy? Do you have any idea what I went through?" I shouted at her and got up. The place was full of candles that smelled awful, so I walked to the exit. But Esmeralda caught up with me and stopped me.
"Don't go out yet. It's not safe."
"I have to go to Jonathan; he thinks I'm dead."
"He will be ok. For now, we have to catch the others who were helping with your brother."
"It can wait." I told her.
"No, it can't. Now is the time, that everyone thinks you're dead and they're relaxed."
I thought about her words, and I could not say she was wrong. Now is the right time.
"What do you have in mind?" I asked her and went back to sit down.
"I will go back. I have been here since morning and I will talk to Cole, when everything is ready, I will come to pick you up."
"Why can't I go out?"
"You can, but from the moment you leave Jonathan will immediately feel your presence. Do you see these candles? They work like a shield, no one can smell or feel you even if they are close." She told me and I nodded.
"One more question. How did you manage to keep the astral projection for so many days? You said it was only for a few hours." I remember very clearly the instructions she had given me that night in the kitchen.
"I was coming every day. Do not worry about it. Just sit here and wait for me." She told me and I saw her leaving the cave.
I closed my eyes and leaned my head back against the stones. I will never forget his look when he realized exactly what my brother was doing. My Goddess he must be so hurt.
*Aria can you feel him?*
*No, but he must suffer.* I heard her whimpering in my mind.
"Ella." I heard Olivia's voice.
"What do you want?"
"I am sorry about everything. He had my parents. I could not let them die. When I heard about the filter, I knew I had to do something."
"Maybe in the end your plan was better." I admitted.
"But that does not negate the fact that you gave him information for two years. That was why Cole said you were different." It was not a question what I said. Eventually she had a reason for her strange behavior, but I was not here to be able to understand it.
"Yes. I had regrets; I still have." She had started crying loudly and I approached her to hug her.
"It's over now. I am sure you can make a fresh start somewhere else. I'll talk to Jonathan, and I hope he understands."
"Thank you. You have always been so good to me. I do not deserve it."
"Calm down now. You must leave; Esmerelda can be accompanied by someone else. They can't find you."
"I do not want to leave you alone."
"I will be safe. Go, it is still very fresh, and you know that they will not even give you a chance to make excuses."
She nodded in agreement
"Thank you for everything, I will never forget you." She told me before she went out too.
It was not that I had forgiven her for what she did, but a part of my mind can justify her actions. In the end I am alive, and my brother I am betting that he has already been killed.
I do not know how to feel, on the one hand I am sad because he was the only member of the family, I had left but on the other hand I feel relieved that I will not have to worry that someone will chase me in the future.
A familiar scent reached my nose, and I got up to go closer to the exit.
"Shut up!"
"I want my dad." That was my son's voice. With whom is with? Why is he so far from home? Without a second thought I went out and followed the sound of his crying.
Wyatt was in the arms of a man crying and trying to escape.
"Put down my son!" I growled at him and only then he turned his head and I realize he is Alpha George.
"You?" He asked terrified. He obviously thought I was dead too.
"Yes. Now put my son down." I said again.
"Never!" He shouted. "You killed my son. Now it's his turn."
I growled at him in response, already feeling ready to use my powers.
I started to freeze his legs.
"Bitch let me go."
"Not before you give me my son back." I shouted at him. I am not sure if I would freeze Wyatt as I froze his upper body.
*He will be ok.* Aria answered my thoughts.
*How do you know?*
*Just keep going.* She advised me and so I did.
I kept freezing his body higher and higher. I watched him tremble and his lips turn purple from the cold. In the end he could not bear it and let Wyatt fall from his hands.
I quickly ran to him and took him in my arms.
The moment I went to leave George grabbed my hand, but without being able to put force and so I easily escaped from holding him.
He opened his mouth to speak but I did not let him because with a quick movement I cut his throat with my claws.
"How are you, my love?"
"Mum!" The little one was excited to see me, but so was I. I had missed him so much.
I know the plan was to stay in the cave but now that I got out, I decided to go back. So, with Wyatt I started walking in the woods.
*He is so hurt that he has not understood our presence.* Aria informed me.
*I will talk to him because he did not care about our son.*
*Do not argue with him. Show him how much we love him.* Of course, she would do anything for him, but it can be done a few minutes later.
On the way Wyatt fell asleep in my arms, so it took me several hours to arrive. At the border I did not smell anyone, but where did they all disappear? I wondered and moved on. It is like everyone is gone, very strange.
Inside the house I followed Jonathan's scent, as I approached his office, I could hear his screams. He was too busy to even notice me.
I opened the door abruptly and went inside, ten pairs of eyes turned to look at me in shock. But I had mine nailed to his. You could see pure shock on his face. He blinked his eyes several times and opened his mouth to say something but finally closed it again.
"Can you explain to me why I found our son in the forest?" I asked him.
"It was your responsibility to take care of him."
He shook his head and came up to me, reached out and grabbed a tuft of my hair.
"How?" He asked in a low voice.
"I will explain everything to you. I promise. Now I have to put Wyatt for sleep." He nodded his head and followed me outside.
Esmeralda saw us in the hallway
"Why did you come back so early?"
"You knew it?" Jonathan growled behind me.
Esmeralda’s face turned pale.
"Don’t get mad with her, she helped me."
"Did you catch them?" I asked her.
"Yes, we did!" Jonathan answered my question. "I will pay them a visit later. For now, Blake is with them."
I nodded my head and continue my walk for my room.
One hour later and after feeding and showering Wyatt, I put him for sleep in his room.
Jonathan was watching me as predator the whole time, without blinking. Maybe he was thinking that I will disappear as soon as he loses me from his sight.
"Can you tell me what happened? I will go crazy." He told me when we were alone in our room.
"Aren’t you happy?"
"Of course, I am over the moon. I feel like I have a second chance with you. I swear I will never leave your side ever again."
"Show me." I told with with a seduce voice and I leaned forward to kiss him. And let me tell you, he showed me, all night long, he offered me the one orgasm after the other. I was finally where i belong, in his arms.
