Morphine: Drugged is the New Paradise

Chapter 7 Eli

Eli's POV

I never ran so hard in my life. I returned to my human form when I got on my front porch. I stumbled through the front door. I was clinging to the wall to wall, trying to make it to my father's study. Jewel was playing with her dolls on the floor.

"Brubby, what's wrong?" She asked.

I was gasping for air, and pounding on the walls with my fists. My knees finally gave out and I collapsed onto the floor.

"Daddy! Brubby's hurt!" She screamed, and my father came out of the study. He didn't look worried at all.

"Can't you stand?" He asked, in a nonchalant  tone of voice.

"If I could stand...father...I would."

"What's wrong?"

"My mate...I...I...did something very wrong." I said, gasping for air.

"Let's talk in the study." He said, and he turned to walk back in, "Oh that's right you can't stand." He came over to me, and I put my arm over his shoulder. He helped walk me into his study. "Jewel, close daddy's door." 

She got up and closed the door once we were in. I sat down in the chair in front of his desk. I was still trying to breath. My father sat down like this was not any of his concern, but he was going to talk to me because that would be the parent thing to do.

"Now from the beginning." He said.

"I can't do it...I can't do it." I said, breathlessly.

"Can't do what exactly?"

"Marry Gloria."

"And why is that?"

"I bonded with my mate."

"Oh!"

Now I got the old man's attention!

"Let me ask you something Eli." My father began, "Do you wish to be exiled from your pack?"

"So you're going to tell me to ignore what my body wants?" I asked. 

"Yes, if you want to be Alpha."

"Father, why can't I just marry my mate?"

"Do you really want to lose your land that has been ours for generations? You are that willing to throw it all away for some bitch?"

"That bitch is my mate!" I snarled.

"You will marry Gloria."

"Or what?"

'Not only will I exile from this pack, but I will mark your body of exile, and every other wolf will exile you too. You will be exiled from everyone of your kind." My father threatened, "You are not Alpha yet, my son, and you still have a lot to learn. As of right now I suggest you follow your Alpha's orders."

"It will never work between Gloria and I."

"Who says?"

"Nature."

"That's nonsense. I have never found 'my mate'."

"Mom wasn't your-"

"No, she wasn't. She was from another pack, just like Gloria. The same reason why your mother and I got married. That was so many years ago, I don't know if any one remembers. You couldn't tell because we all accept each other as one pack." My father explained, "My father never really explained the whole mate thing to me. Who knows maybe she's still out there."

"If females never find their mate, they will forever be lonely. Every guy she will try to be with wont work out, because eventually the male will find his mate and leave her. Don't you see? I finished the bond, Ariel will die. Hell, I'll die." I remarked.
