The Mated Four

Hexed

Jace P.O.V.

That's it, I've fucking had it up to here.

It's been WEEKS  since that incident with Ella that I wish to forget and just as I thought that she'd be closer to us- she disappoints us with her distant mate act again. Why won't she just give in? what is SO terrible about us that she won't even think about accepting us, why must she keep denying us?

I'm not mad- just tired of her not being with me. 

Maybe it has something to do with the war also exhausting me mentally- it's been going on for weeks. We appear to be on the winning side of it but- still, fuck why?

Our warriors' forces have been slimming- and not at a pace that I'd like. We plan to soon launch an invasive attack into their territory, and I can't fucking wait to get those fuckers back for what they did to my Ellie.

My mate was not able to speak for days and it still hurts her when she does. A normal wolf would've healed by now but Ella's genes are especially Omega and she doesn't heal easily- she shouldn't have to go through pain like that. I missed hearing her voice and it felt like an eternity before I could find relief in the fact that she'd be alright. 

I'd been up for what feels like years even though I get plenty of sleep- I never get to relax. Especially now that one of us tries to stay with Ellie when there is an attack, and Grey has to constantly fight even on my behalf; so does she- who I don't want to think about right now.

Even after spell-proofing our lands with the help of elders we still can't bear to even think about leaving Ella undefended. Another day another battle eh?

Grey is so fucking exhausted too, fighting on my behalf too. He's constantly getting injuries and seeing his comrades- the same people he grew up with dying to protect the rest. He comes to us every night hurt and exhausted, he tried so hard to keep a happy façade but it still shows- to us at least. He's gotta be the strong Alpha at the end of the day but we can see the light fading away from him slowly and it kills not to be able to put an end to it.

Those fucking Howlers and Banes still keep using witches against us and it almost makes me want to screw integrity and get some witches for us too- but I know that Grey's too virtuous for that. They keep hexing our warriors and it is a bitch- the pain is unbearable- evident by the screams of our best warriors.

I was currently in the infirmary where Ella was helping the injured and hexed warriors- I almost wanted her not to see it but I can't be selfish and shield her from it all.

"Beta Jaceth- another wave coming in", said a warrior guarding the infirmary.

Just great more of us hurt and aching.

"Send them in", I replied, wanting this day to end already- so much pent-up tension just waiting for me to sleep it off.

They came in warriors, helping each other, carrying each other, tending to each other, trying to save each other's lives. The sharp scent of blood entered my nose along with the pained cries of some. 

I saw Ella with a pup who's Mom was currently hexed and crying in pain just across the hall from them. The poor thing look terrified- hearing his Mom like that would traumatize the poor boy for so long.

Then I smelled her- Cami

why is she here? is she hurt? 

I began looking in-crowd for her frantically and then I saw her. She looked- fine? is she okay then? She looked exhausted not hurt.

"Cami- hey", I called out to her, to which she just tried to pass me a smile and went away.

WHAT? is it something I did? why did she ignore me just now?
