The Exiled Alpha

Chapter fourty-four

Me and Elliot haven't been on good speaking terms ever since yesterday's incident. Samantha noticed how we both avoid each other and she came to me in the morning, but I avoided answering her questions by distracting her in every way possible.

My hands tremble as I pack my clothes for tomorrow. Will today be the day I tell them about who I really am? I'll have to talk to Alec about this, it's not only me I'm outing at the sleepover. It's him and our whole pack as well. How will they react when they find out? Will they hate us? Will they be afraid of us? Will they understand and accept us?

So many unanswered questions twist through my mind and they make a headache press against my right eyebrow. I feel tired of all this lying and arguing and not knowing where I stand with my own mate. I'm getting tired of living this life.

I look through the window, the sun still high up in the air. September was coming to an end and the leaves are turning brown on the trees. I could see October taking control of the nature outside of my house and the temperature as well. How ironic it is that I keep listening to Wake me up when September ends by Green Day. Maybe it's because I want to wake up from this nightmare I'm living in.

I can sense someone in front of my door before anything else happens. Looking over to my door, my nostrils are filled with a sweet caramel smell. Elliot is on the other side of my door but I feel how he hesitates to knock on my door. He hasn't spoken to me ever since we met up with Amelia.

I can hear his footsteps now, as he starts to walk away from my door. Anger suddenly fuels my veins and I want to yell at him for being such a coward and not wanting to talk to me. I walk over to my door and swing it open before I even realize what I'm doing. The sound of the door opening makes my mate turn to look over his shoulder.

"You wanted...?" I ask, leaning against the doorframe of my room. Elliot's hazel eyes travel up and down my figure, before they connect with my own crystal blue ones.

"Nova asked me to get you but I remembered you have the sleepover tonight." His voice is low and cold, not a single trace of happiness in it like it used to be. "I just wanted to tell her off." He shrugs his shoulders, finally turning completely towards me. I quickly notice his nose ring is missing and I feel like I'm looking at a totally different person.

Elliot's nose ring is a part of him, a part of his rebellious side. The son who rebelled against his whole family and pack just to be with me. Now he acts cold and like he'd be tired of everything and the missing nose ring just proves my point.

I lean back to look at the wall clock before turning back to my mate.

"I still have time." I answer, which makes Elliot shrug his shoulders again. I follow after him down the hall and down the stairs.

"Nat's offer still stands." I remind him as we come to the bottom of the stairs. Elliot glances over at me again before he walks over to the kitchen. "Don't want to go." His answer is short and it makes me grit my teeth in anger. I wish I could strangle him right now.

When we enter the kitchen I notice the Luna already sitting at our dining table with a cup of hot steaming tea in her hands. But she's not alone. Her youngest son is with her as well, standing by the window and looking outside.

Nova perks up at the sight of me by Elliot's side and her lips curl up in a smile.

"I hope you don't mind the intrusion in your home." She says and I shake my head a little. "You're welcome anytime." I answer, glancing over to Elliot. He breathes in deeply and turns on his heel, to leave the room, but the Luna stops him with just a mere sentence. "Where do you think you're going, exiled Alpha?" The nickname she uses makes Elliot stiffen. He stays in between the doorframe with his back turned to all of us.
