Morphine: Drugged is the New Paradise

Chapter 28 Ariel

Author's Note: Attention readers, the sequel of Morphine, Ecstasy: You Make Me Feel Good, will be uploaded before the ending of Morphine.  That's the reason why I haven't kept up on recent uploads because I wanted to work on the sequel. I am just so excited about it, that I want to post it before the ending of the first one, but I didn't want any confusion. Thank you for reading, voting, and commenting. I am really glad on how this story is turning out and that I had many reads and fans. Thanks again! Please keep reading the story and check out the sequel as well.

Ariel's POV

"I'm sorry, Eli." I whispered, as I put my hand onto his shoulder. "Come on, let's go to bed."

We laid down on Eli's bed. I curled up next to him. Why was it that we still couldn't be together? He said that he could go a week with out it, and it was up to me if we wanted to get married. If we got married and Eli wasn't clean it sounds a 'fuck you' to my parents and I didn't want that. 

I turned over to see Eli still wide a wake, "I'm sorry, did I wake you?"

"No, I couldn't sleep." I confessed.

"Me either, because I know you are going to tell me that you don't want to get married." Eli said.

"Eli."

"Hold on, I wasn't finished. I know that's what you are going to say to me, and I understand why that is going to be your choice, but that doesn't mean that I am going to like it." He remarked.

"Oh, Eli, what are we going to do?" I asked, as I held onto him.

"I don't know, dear." He whispered, "I just wish I could quit it."

"So I guess, we are not going to see my parents tomorrow." I huffed.

"It's up to you." He murmured.

"I am not going against my parents' wishes."

"Then I will take that as a 'no'." He mumbled.

"What am I supposed to say, Eli?" I asked, harshly. "I don't want my marriage to be a 'fuck you' to them."

"Then we will never get married." Eli snapped, "I tried. I really tried to quit, I did. What am I supposed to do? You should be lucky that I am of Alpha blood because a normal werewolf wouldn't be able to get to where I am at."

"Oh yeah, I am the luckiest girl in the world." I huffed.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Eli asked, with his voice raising.

"I can't be with the man I love because my parents won't let us get married until he gets clean and he will never get clean. " I barked.

"You love me?" He asked, calmly.

"Of course, I still love you, Eli. I waited for you to return." I murmured, softly as I nuzzled his neck. 

"You believe me, don't you." He asked, "Do you believe that I really tried to get clean?"

"Yes, Eli, I believe you."

"I want to marry you, Ariel, and I have to know if you feel the same way." He remarked, "I have to know if you want me too."

"I want to marry you, Eli." I whispered, "I always wanted to be with you."

"Please say that you will be with wife, and tell your parents that I am clean. If you do this I promise that I will work every hard to officially become clean for you and your parents." 

"I am not going to lie to them." I said, "But we are still going to see them tomorrow and let them know that you are back."

"Okay, I can live with that." He yawned, "For some reason, I am getting sleepy now. I must feel better."
