Peter woke up looking for Ceasar , Celeste found him asking around and pulled him away.
" the Alpha is sleeping " , " his not in his room " , " I didn't say he was , why are you shouting? " , " where is he? ".
Celeste leaded him up to Elina's room and opened the door , they were fast asleep wrapped in each other's arms.
" you've got to be fucking with me ! " Peter shouted , Ceasar jumped up " shhhh " , " Ceasar what the actual fuck !" , " if you're not going to shut it , get out " Elina voiced still asleep.
Ceasar got up and walked to Peter , " did she j..." , " she's the Alpha female , she's also my Mate and the girl that saved me " , Peter held onto his head feeling dizzy he sat down.
" your father will kill us both , I mean her sister will do worse , Ceasar let's go home " , " I can't she needs me " Peter sighed getting up walking up and down the room.
" we we can host the , the annual festival this year that way she can attend " , " I won't " , " Princess this is good for you , training with others will increase your pace " , " I don't need that , no one can outrun me " she said getting up.
Her phone rang and she answered it taking a protein bar with.
" convince her to go , we can't stay , long William said people have been asking where you were " , " okay ".
Elina walked back ate her food as they all looked at her " just say it " , " please go " , " fine but get out of my room Elia should be back from training and Lucia will be here to ask me to go to lunch.
I can't imagine what she thinks when she couldn't find both of you in your rooms ".
She got up , "leave at the back she's already here ".
" who? " there was a knock on the door , Celeste hurriedly leaded them out of the room.
She opened the door " please come down for lunch " , " mhhh " she said then closed the door.
Celeste walked back and they walked out. Elia , Collins, Lucia , Peter and Ceasar were already in they seats.
She walked in and sat down " I heard you hit your sister " Collins voiced , Elina didn't answer " apologize immediately tell her you regret it " , " I don't regret it , she had no business touching me when I told her not to " , " Elina apologize " , " no ".
She turned looking at her father and he froze looking at her " what's wrong with your eyes? " , Celeste walked in with eyedrops , " she just woke up because she was out this morning she forgot her eyedrops" she said giving it to her.
" if you're done with family arguments, I wanted to suggest something , my pack will be hosting the annual festival this year.
Because of what's happening with Alphas and stuff , everyone knows my pack is the safest ".
" that's good " , " I'll go " Elia said , " I am also going " Elina voiced , " sweetheart you're sick " , " am I? " She asked cutting her meat.
" what do you mean? " , " I mean how would you know if I am sick or not? It was today when you found out that I take walks outside.
Till today none of you had ever bothered to eat with me or care for what I do.
Suddenly you bring me out here , to eat with you in pretence".
" Elina ! " , " what father? Am I lying? What's my favorite color? What's my favorite meal? What dessert do I like?
Are those difficult let me ask you this instead, what color is my bedroom? you wouldn't know , would you?, because you've never stepped foot in there since I was 9.
You people disgust me , just being around you makes my skin crawl " she got up.
" and you stop pretending you're something that you're not you'll be embarrassed and stripped of your position because of your stupidity "she walked out.
It was quiet, " why did you abandon her? " Ceasar asked , " I didn't after her mother passed Elina got worse , I hired Celeste to take care of her.
I was so busy and met alot of people because I didn't want her sick , I avoided going to her or I'd reach when she was asleep.
When Lucia and I got married, I didn't tell her , she found out through maids after that things just got busy , I d.."
" that's all excuses , this is not some stranger this is your child you had every chance to see her but you didn't.
You hid her in here whilst you all lived your best as a family out there , you made her feel unwanted so she didn't push.
Today you brought her out here because you want to portray perfection but you're still not taking her feelings in consideration".
" you know no.." , " oh shut it Elia , if you were her how would you feel? Instead of trying to push what you're not , it will help you to get to know your sister instead " , " what are you talking about? " , " you're no Alpha " he got up.
" I'll be leaving tomorrow, Alpha Collins instead of trying to make excuses fix your relationship with your child instead before it's too late ".
He walked out , Peter got up " thank you for lunch " he said and walked out.
" what did he mean I am not an Alpha? " Elia asked , " it's nothing it's cause he can't sense you that's all " Collins answered not looking at his daughter.
Elia got up and walked out as well. Elina didn't come back , Ceasar was worried.
He looked for Celeste it was now late at night and Elina still wasn't back , " where is she? " , " she should be with her friends " , " friends? " , " yes she will be back before 8 , she never misses her med..." Elina walked in.
" where were you ? " , " I was with Timothy, why? " , " a guy? " , " I don't think any sane person would name a girl child Timothy " she said walking past him.
But he grabbed her arm pulling her back , his eyes jet black " you were with a guy all this time? " his voice was deep and rusky, she looked up at him " Timothy is a friend and I'd appreciate it if you stopped putting pressure with your hand you're hurting me ".
" what did you do with him? That you can't do with me? " , " Ceasar, let go " she yanked her arm but he didn't let go.
Peter walked to them " Azir you're hurting her " , he finally let go of her " I am sorry Azir is very possessive , you should be careful he doesn't like not being recognized " , " what do you mean? " , " right now you called him Ceasar and that pissed him off more ".
Azir was breathing in and out heavily, Elina took his hand in hers " Timothy is Elia's mate he had just found out that she was getting married , I had to be there for him he's my friend.
I've known him since I was 11 , there is nothing but friendship between us " Elina explained.
He closed his eyes and pulled her closed taking a wif of her scent.
" I am sorry I hurt you " Ceasar voiced , his voice relaxed.
" can I go up now? " He just nodded and let her go.
She walked up with Celeste, Peter looked at Ceasar.
" you shouldn't have let him hurt her " , " I lost control " , " work on it , atleast she took it good and didn't anger you further " , " right " , " I am assuming you'll be sleeping in her room today? " , " mhhh if she let me " , " she has no choice you two imprinted on each other.
And tomorrow? What will you do? How will you leave her? Both of you won't make it, Azir wanted to rip her head off cause she was with a friend ".
" I'll think of something " he said and walked up.
Celeste walked out of the room , he entered.
