The Alpha & The Ripper

Chapter 14: Memory Lane

Okay, so I may possibly have lied when I said that after my mother died I never cared about anyone. That I completely shut myself out from the world and did nothing but focus on my hunting.

It was true, I did block everyone out. A wall was formed and I only ever just cared about my family, but let's face it, every teenage girl falls in love at least once in there life, right? Even if it comes from a cold blooded and heartless girl who swore she will never let anyone in or let her mother's death die in vane.

No see, I was more stupid and naive at the age of 16 then I was when I was 8 years old. I had met a boy, and I let my guard down. I guess you can say at that time I was feeling lonely. Shawn had just graduated and was focused on college, along with Melissa, leaving me at home alone where there weren't anymore jobs or assignments. Dad was always at work and so I was always home doing the same thing all the time. Either training or watching TV.

I guess what I'm trying to say is something I never wanted to think about ever again because I did get my heart broken. I did, even when my constant promises that I wouldn't, let my guard down. I let myself feel for another, trying to see what it would actually be like to care.

Yes, that's right. I, Elsa Bush, was in love once. I guess the real term for the whole situation was that I was blinded by love really. So blinded that I never saw the truth behind the man who I thought I loved and cared about me. No, I know he did care about me and he possibly really did love me and I guess, despite all the better odds, I loved him as well.

Which I guess is why when I found out about him and his siblings secret... When I found out how completely stupid and naive I really was, I let him and his siblings live. I even help him escape really. What I found out, had nearly broke me to pieces.

I, Elsa Bush, was in love with a werewolf.

The Ripper, was in love with a werewolf.

It's a long and painful story that I thought I finally managed to push so far back that I could forget about it. That it would just go away and I would act like it never happened. That I can just put my wall back up and never in a billion years trust anyone outside my family ever again. I thought it would be ancient history.

Apparently I was wrong.

So, now I found myself getting even more screwed than I already am. Not only do I have to worry about freaking Jayden and this whole mate thing, I have to make sure that Oliver and his damn siblings don't say anything about who I am and how they know me. And I am most definitely not looking forward to seeing... him. Gosh I can't even say his name. I guess it still hurts thinking about what went down between us and I just never wanted or really ever expected to see him again.

"How the hell do you expect me to help you escape? In case you haven't realize, Elsa, but your mated to one of the most feared Alpha's of all time and he is really determined to keep you. After your little escape attempt the other day, I doubt it is going to be that easy to leave this house again," Oliver continues to rant. He has been going on and on, rambling about how he won't be able to pull off trying to get me out of here without him getting caught and killed.

I see where he is coming from, because I know this is going to be hard for him and I know if he where to get caught, Jayden most definitely will kill him. Which leads me to one big question.

"-I don't know if you realize, but Alpha Jayden hates my guts. For what reason, I don't know because I'm freaking awesome and everyone loves me, but Alpha Jayden doesn't like anyone other then his sister, Beta and his mate. Which consider yourself lucky, that's you." He does not stop and I had to butt in right there to get him to finally shut up.
