Human Mates

Chapter 27

Eleanor's P.O.V.

As I collapsed on the floor, I held where my heart was.

The room disappeared as Serena appeared again. "Dear child, it is your time to go." She said. "B-But-" I started but never got to finish.

"It is time you go." Serena said with a stern voice. "I-I don't want to go." I said, confidently but still stuttered.

"Death can happen any time, some are unexpected, some are predicted and some are expected," Serena explained, "yours was expected."

"I never got to say a proper goodbye." I said, wiping my tears. "Is there anything, anything you can do to at least let me say goodbye?" I begged.

She looked at me with hard eyes before softening, "There is something I can do child, but once you have said your goodbye, your death would only be worse."

"I don't care. Make my death more painful, I'll do anything to say goodbye." I said. "As you wish." Serena waved her hand before I was in the pack house.

I saw Serena next to me, glowing more than usual. I heard feet thundering down the stairs and I saw everyone, including my parents.

Ashton was the first one to hug me, then I was tackled into a big hug. I saw Addison walk up to me and slapped me.

"We were worried about you!" She cried before hugging me. "H-How you are here?" Addison said, "We th-thought you..."

I smiled and looked over my shoulder. "She did." I said, pointing to her. As if they didn't see her in the room, all the werewolves' eyes popped out.

"The Moon Goddess." I heard someone say. "That is me." Serena said.

They all bowed their heads, including my dad. "We are here for a reason, child." Serena said.

They all looked at me curiously, I sighed, "About me dying-" I got caught off by Ashton's growl but I still continued, "It's true."

"I'm supposed to be dead-" Another growl, "But I begged Serena to at least say goodbye."

"Oh, my baby girl!" I heard my mom say. She ran up to me and hugged me. 

She let go of me and took a look of my appearance, She smiled before speaking again, "You've grown up a beautiful woman."

My dad walked up and hugged me also, "Sorry we were late." He said. I was ripped out of my dad's hold and was engulfed in Ashton's hold.

"You're not leaving me again." He growled. "Ashton, child, it it her time to go." Serena said, reaching for me.

He growled at her and put me behind him. I saw Serena looked startled. Ashton growled again, "I don't care if you're the creator of us, she's my mate and she's staying with me."

I heard Addison speak, "If you are the creator of werewolves, wouldn't you want you children, or whatever you call them, happy?"

"I am the creator of werewolves, but if I do change the rules this one time, the werewolves will always ask for their first mates, that's why second mates exist." Serena explained.

"Ashton, you have a second chance of happiness. You do not have to sulk about Eleanor." Serena said.

"I don't want a second mate. I want Eleanor." He growled. "If she dies, I die along."

"Child, it is not your time." Serena said sternly. "If my mate dies, it is sure as hell my time to die." Ashton said.

I saw Elliot nodded his head at Ashton before Blake and Terry helped me away from Serena. "You are getting irritating." I heard Serena say before we entered the backyard. 

"What about the rest of the people?" I asked, as Terry entered a password in a trap door. "They'll come in the other entrance. In mean time we need to hurry up."

I climbed down the ladder and the lights opened one by one. I saw a sofa, with a T.V., basically a house down here.

I heard the trap down shut and then a spinning thing spun. Terry and Blake came into sight before sitting down on the couch. "Ashton told us to wait here, the others will arrive soon."

I heard another door slam open, "Talk about the devil." I hear Blake mumbled.

Addison, Roxy, Skylar, Rae, Ryan, Colton, and Jerry entered.

"Ellie!" I heard Colton said. I smiled and picked up Colton. "Where have you been?" He asked. "Somewhere." I said.

He pouted but laid his head on my shoulder. I saw Addison walk up to me, "You have a lot of explanation to do."

I laughed nervously, "I guess I do."

After explaining, questions were fired at me. "Wait, what do you mean, your death more painful than it already is? Or whatever you said?" Addison asked.

"I don't know exactly what she meant, but I'm pretty sure it's not going to be painless." I sighed.

"We won't let The Moon Goddess take you." Addison said, determination is her eyes.

When the doors opened, we were expected to see Ashton, Elliot and my parents, but there stood one person, Serena.

"Eleanor, it is time." She said. I shook my head, but stopped mid-way. Something in her voice is commanding I follow her. My body wanted to follow, but my head didn't.

"Eleanor." She said, like scolding a little kid.

I stood up, and slowly walked to her. I wanted to go back, but I couldn't. I had no control of my body. What about Ashton? My legs slowed down. What about my parents? My legs slowed even more. What about my friends? My legs came to a stop.

I was steps away from Serena, not enough to grab me although. "Come here child." Serena said. My legs stepped forward before Serena touched me. 

It was bright, before everything was dark.

"Eleanor!" I heard people shout. "Stop!"

More shouts and protests were being said aloud, but I was already walking to the other side.

Short chapter, yes I know, but an early update! :D

I am afraid to say that this is the last chapter, but I will be posting a epilogue sometime next week.

So, bear with me!
