Hidden Secrets

Chapter 40 - Revelations

Elektra's pov:

Two days passed in absolute boredom. My days were spent in and around the cabin while my father was always out. Where he went all day and what he did in his absence I will never know... We met only at lunch and dinner without mentioning anything. I started to feel very frustrated. I couldn't be locked away anymore. I wanted to get back to my pack and take on my responsibilities. When I expressed my thoughts, father always managed to reassure me by telling me that it would all be over soon.

I really don't know how he's going to do it. He is a fugitive, everyone in the country is after him, a large bounty is on his head, yet he is sure that everything will be fine and he will continue his life just like that. I'm starting to think he's completely crazy.

-"Father what are you doing all day?" I wondered.

-"I have a lot to take care of..." he said sternly.

-"Can I help somehow?" I asked.

-"No" he said sternly and stood up abruptly.

-"Father, wait" I said while standing up.

-"What?" he said and turned to me looking angry.

-"I want to do something. I just can't stay here all day doing nothing" I said frustrated.

-"What do you want to do?" he asked coldly.

-"I want to go back to the pack" I said decisively.

-"Jordan is there" he said sternly.

-"How long will I be here?" I asked frustrated. I'm sick of this bullshit. I wasn't willing to put up with this situation any longer. My father is out of his mind if he thinks I'm going to stay here while Jordan runs my pack.

-"As long as needed" he said coldly, turned and left.

What was that? Why was he acting so hostile? What did I do to him? It's clear that for some inexplicable reason he doesn't want me back in our pack, but why?

Although I called for him he never turned back. He left the cabin and after he shifted to his wolf he headed to the woods. I was left alone once again filled with tons of questions.

Night came very quickly with me spending the whole evening out wandering around picking fruit and nuts. Father hadn't come back yet so I ate some fruit to fill my empty stomach. It was eleven at night when I decided not to wait for him any longer and eat my dinner. I finished my food and after washing the dishes I headed to my bedroom and lay down on my bed. I didn't feel sleepy, but waiting for my father in bed was more comfortable than sitting in the chair.

Hours passed and around midnight I finally fell asleep. I woke up the next day, but father was nowhere to be found. I got up, put on my clothes and went to the kitchen to make coffee and eat something. I made some cookies yesterday and wanted to try them. Being here for so many days I managed to awaken the cook in me.

I literally spent the whole day without doing anything important. I was fed up with the whole situation. I decided to go for a run. Frosty was worried too. I went to my wolf giving her full control and headed for the forest. I spent my whole day wandering in the forest. I walked enjoying the view, the dense vegetation, the sun and the trees. It was a lovely spring day. Flowers were blooming everywhere and birds were chirping as they flew from tree to tree.

As the sun was setting I decided to head back to the cabin as I was unfamiliar with the woods here and didn't know what was lurking in the dark. After half an hour I arrived outside the hut, changed back to my human form and went inside. When I entered the hut, I was surprised to see the place turned upside down.
