Leaving the Alpha

Chapter 13

Chapter 13:

Elena's POV

MY EYES STARTED TO FLUTTER OPEN AS I ROSE MY head. Whoever hit me, I felt like fighting them because that really freaking hurt. I got off of the wet floor and noticed that I was standing inside of a tall ass cage. Ashton, Jordan, and his father all stood around me, squinting their eyes at me. Ashton still looked very hurt however, and no doubt, he had something very special planned for me. I had to say, I somewhat scared. "What the hell are you and Sidmin, witches!? Hunters!? And it's best you answer me, and answer me now!" said Ashton, using a very demanding voice. I didn't say anything, I just looked up to the ceiling.
"Answer him slut!" yelled Jordan.
"I can't answer a question when the answer is so obvious. I'm human, I've always been human. I know all about this other paranormal junk and I have nothing to do with it. All of this started when Sidmin and I were struck by that lightning." I replied.
"You're lying." said Mr. Michaels.
"No...I'm not, but I get the feeling everyone here knows that." I said, phasing through the cage. "Now, can you let me go?" Jordan jumped and turned into a huge, light brown wolf. His teeth shows to me as if he were challenging me. If he was a wolf, did that mean Ashton was one too? "I don't think you want to make Jordan mad," said Ashton. I slowly began turning invisible and jumped up onto the ceiling, walking upside down on it. Everyone looked around in anger. "come out and play!" I heard Jordan say I'm mind. I don't think so, I replied. I jumped to the ground and Jordan's head snapped around and chased towards me. I went through the wooden door in front of me and then into the nearest bathroom.
I turned visible again and then placed my hand on the back of my right thigh and felt something really weird. There was like a keloid there. I raise my pants leg to find a giant cut on the back of my right thigh. As I saw it, I had a flashback of what Starlet had said. "She said she tried to thank the woman but the woman ran away so quickly. She had also accidentally cut the woman on the back of her right thigh with a knife before she was healed because she thought it was a werewolf." It all started to click. Elissa wasn't my mother, she was me, I was her. How was that possible? There was no way I could still be this young if I was alive in 1981.
        The bathroom door busted in and I turned invisible again, jumping over Jordan. I ran down the hallway, stripping out of my clothes until I was completely naked, where no one could see me period. I literally jumped down the flight of stairs and walked towards the front door which was being guarded by a man. Somehow, I became visible again and watched the man's eyes turn yellow. I froze and turned around just as Jordan pounced into the air, about to attack me. I threw my hands in the air, making him fall to the floor in seconds. His wolf body began trembling and then he turned back human. "What'd you do to me witch!?" he asked, getting up weakly. He tried to shift but he couldn't.
"I didn't do anything, please. You guys need to listen to me, I'm not here to hurt anyone. I'm just looking for answers." I replied, looking into the beautiful eyes of Ashton, "I went inside that damn house to save you and bring you back with me because I cared about you." I said, almost in tears. He didn't seem to care about anything I was saying. That's when I took the initiative. I walked up to him and kissed him on the lips. He immediately took dominance and demanded entrances from me. I gave it to him and let his tongue play with mine, but not all of that nasty stuff. He broke this kiss, pecking me on the lips one last time before stepping back. I looked at him as a tear rolled down my eyes. I immediately felt Sidmin's presence beside me, he must've been invisible.
        "Guess you'll never get to take me on that date." I half way smiled. "Let's go Sidmin." He turned visible and teleported us back to the local paper building. Sidmin grabbed my shoulders and asked me, "are you okay?" Was I okay? Of course I wasn't ok, I wanted to die in a whole right now. The guy I wanted, who also wanted me, hates my guts because somehow I'm connected to how his parents died. I wasn't going to tell Sidmin about my new discoveries, not yet. Tyler and Veronica kept that from us for a reason, I needed time to explore what that reason was. I went to the roof of the building and sat there. The wind blew through my hair, and the moonlight waved down to me. It was....refreshing.
        About an hour  passed or me sitting up there and then I heard big feet land on the roof. "Sidmin, if you found a way to fly, you might've made my night a little bit-" I turned around to see a teary eyed Ashton in front of me. I put up a force field around me as we awkwardly looked at each other. "I'm not here to hurt you." he said, almost broken. Right, I thought. He smirked, he must've heard my thoughts. Gosh, I needed to do some reading up on werewolves. "Well...what do you want?" I asked, letting down the field.
        "...you..." he whispered almost to where I couldn't hear him and he ran up and kissed me. This kiss was even better than our first one. He moved his hands to my waist and I placed mine on his shoulders. The way he held me almost made me want to jump onto him and let him make me his. What the hell, what's wrong with you, I thought.
"Nothing is wrong with you...you're absolutely perfect. Come back with me, I can protect you. No one in the pack house will hurt you." said Ashton.
        "I'm not worried about them hurting me...I'm worried about me hurting them. Ashton, I think that I-"
        "You're not like your mother. You are not a cold blooded killer. If it lakes you feel better, we won't go after your mother. I am willing to stop the search for your mother if you just stay with me."
        "Ashton I..." I started, "the people here need me. Everywhere Sidmin and I go, we are plagued with questions more than answers and I don't think him and I should he separated right now when we are trying to figure what the hell is going on." I said.
        "Well. Go out with me tomorrow, let's go for a picnic." said Ashton.
        "I'd like that, but you know there are people who want to kill you all in this place?"
        "We'll just have to be a secret then. Meet me at the park behind the high school."
        Ashton jumped off of the roof and sped up, a smile didn't leave my face. He cared about me. He was willing to stop the search for my mother-wait, I forgot, I was Elissa Aimes. I killed his family. My heart began racing. I should've told him, I should've told him. I think I somewhat...almost...loved him.
