Homewrecker//Scott McCall {DISCONTINUED}

Chapter 11: Future's Past

Elliot has been avoiding her friends as much as she possibly could the past week, only talking to them for school. But, of course, she had to meet with Scott after school if she wanted to finish their science project.

She was lost in her thoughts, sitting with her legs crossed on her bed. She was so out of her head she jumped when her aunt knocked on the door, not noticing her walk in. Yes, her aunt, uncles and father were now living with her. It seemed easier and more convenient than having them stay at some grubby hotel.

"A penny for your thoughts?" Will asked as she crossed her arms over her chest, leaning against the doorway. She could tell her niece was troubled and had an idea of what about, but she wanted Elliot to admit it on her own. Elliot sighed.

"Scott will be here any minute," Elliot voiced, her tone on edge and kind of nervous. Will gave her a look, walking into the room and sitting across from her niece, crossing her legs and taking Elliot's hands in hers.

"Talk to me," she smiled comfortingly. Elliot couldn't help but smile. Her aunt always seemed to get her, more than what she remembered her mother could. Her mother and father were so much alike in the way of not wanting to get to close, where as her Uncle Sam and Aunt Will were very compassionate and were always there for her.

"I just don't understand how I'm supposed to go about this. We have more important things to go about and my biggest worry is that I'm an alpha's mate?" Elliot looked down at her lap, "What's wrong with me?" she groaned in annoyance, pulling her hands from her aunt and tugging at her hair. Will sighed.

"Nothing is wrong with you, sweetheart. I know this is hard to understand, but it will all fall into place soon enough. You just have to give it time."

Elliot still didn't looked convinced. Will decided to try a different approach, though she wasn't going to tell her niece what it was.

"Did I tell you about how I met your uncle?" she asked. Elliot looked up at her aunt and nodded.

"Yeah. You guys met working the same case." Will shook her head.

"That's when I met your parents. I met your uncle a few months prior, a couple states over at a bar."

Elliot scrunched her face in confusion, "You just met him randomly at a bar then coincidentally meet him again on the same case a few months later? That doesn't happen. Not to us."

Will smiled, "Exactly. It was the bond that pulled me to work that case. It was a small one, hardly relevant and with nothing to go on, but I kept thinking I just had to go to it."

Elliot sighed, "What does this have to do with Scott?"

Will gave her a look, "What I'm getting at it, the sooner you accept your feelings for Scott, the sooner this bond will be on you."

Elliot's eyes widened as she blushed furiously, scoffing, "Excuse me?!"

Will smiled as she got up from the bed, walking to the door.

"By the way, Scott had been here for the last five minutes downstairs with your father. He'll be joining us for dinner."

With that, Will left her shocked niece in her room, heading back to her husband who was in their room reading a book.

Sam looked opver the book and smiled, setting it down on the small table beside the chair he was in.
