Pure of Heart

Elyse

What the fuck is gong on in my life? I stood on the balcony of this place that should have been my home. I heard the door slam behind me, making me jump, I looked and it was just Corbyn. I walked in the room, not ready for this talk.

"I guess Henley told all of you?" I asked as I sat on the bed. He stood there looking at me in a way that was making me feel uncomfortable.

"Yeah, he did, but it would have been nice to hear it from my mate." Okay, he's pissed.

"I ran off, I shifted and ran through the woods. I'm sorry my life just got turned upside down."

"You always run away." He mumbled but I heard and stood up in front of him.

"I'm sorry, what was that?"

"I said, you always run away. As soon as something upsets you, you take off."

"What the actual fuck Corbyn? I ran away once. How are you seriously mad at me?"

"Because I had to hear it from Henley, your majesty. Trouble follows you everywhere you go. Apparently, ever since you were born, you've been nothing but trouble. Do you not understand what this means, princess?" I started balling. He has never yelled at me before, let alone say things like this.

"How could you say that to me! I'm still me, this doesn't change anything and don't call me your majesty." I yelled back at him.

"It changes everything! I almost died, twice, because of you. I put my people in danger to save you and now!" I was sobbing now. "Now, you being a royal means the pack will always be in danger, Hell Elyse, our kids would be in danger every day of their lives."

"I would never let anyone hurt our pack or our children. Why are you saying all this?"

"People are always gunning to kill royals. That's why they lock themselves in places like this." Not even 24 hours in this place and my life was completely fucked.

"I thought you said we could get through anything. You built me a house and just proposed."

"That was a stupid move on my end. I should have waited, then I'd know who you are." I choked on air.

"I'm still me, Elyse, your Kitten. I thought you loved me." He didn't say anything. I stopped breathing. I looked into the crystal blue eyes I love, and they held hate. He hates me. How did this happen? I ran out of the room to Rylie's room. I banged on the door. Henley answered.

"Elyse. What's's...." I fell into his arms trying to breath. I'm having another panic attack. He caught me, picked me up and put me on the bed. Yelling for Rylie. She came running out of the bathroom.

"Shit, she's having a panic attack. Go get the others." She said.

"No, please, not Corbyn." I managed to get out before Rylie put my hand over her heart. She used to do this all the times I'd have a panic attack so I could copy her breathing.

"That's it honey." She rubbed my back. I was calming down when Hen came back with everyone but Corbyn. Ry and Zey knelt in front of me with their hands on my knees. Jace and Kay stood behing them, and Hen was on my other side, rubbing my back.

"Okay, tell us what happened when you're ready." Zey said.

'Aurora? Are you there?' I heard her whimpers getting louder, she was hiding.

'I'm here.'

'Did you try to talk to Danny?' She started to wail.

'He agrees with him. He said that we are a danger, and we will put our pups in danger.' She went back to hiding. They both hate me. Maybe he's right. I looked at all the people I love so much and realized, they are now in danger because of me. I jumped back from their touches and put my back to the wall, pulled up my legs, and hugged them. I need to get away from them before they get hurt because of me.

"Els, what happened?" Rylie looked at me with sadness.

"I'm a danger to every one of you. Because of me, the packs are in danger." I looked at Rylie then Kay. "As long as I'm in your lives, the babies are in danger. I can't let that happen." I got off the bed and walked to the door. I turned around. "If I'm not around, you guys will be safe. I love you all so much. Tell Corbyn I still love him, ever if he doesn't love me anymore." With that I ran, I heard them yelling for me, but I was already on the first floor and out of the door before they could come after me. I took my clothes off behind the tree. I took off my ring and necklace from Corbyn, and the one from Henley. If they come to look for me this is where my scent will end. I told Aurora to mask our scent. I shifted and ran until I could find a way out of here. I won't let any of them get hurt because of me.
