Chapter ten

Eli's POV

Thalia sat on my lap talking to her dad over the phone. As she talked, she twirled her hair around her index finger. I was so mesmerized by her twirling that I didn't realize she was holding the phone out towards me. I grab the phone smiling and press it to my ear.

"Hello?" I ask.

"Eli Crypt? So great to talk to you, son. Okay, down to business. If you hurt my daughter in anyway, I will send her brothers after you. If you force her to do something before she's ready, I will send her brothers. You listen to her like your life depends on it. You treat her like a queen and never hit her. If you hit her I will come after you myself. Are we clear?" Her dad, Owen I think, ask. "Yes sir. Crystal clear." I say shaking slightly out of fear. "Good, now let me speak to my daughter again." Owen says before I hand the phone back to Thalia.

She talks for awhile more with him before saying goodbye. She hangs up the phone and turns towards me. "So, when are we going home? To your pack, I mean." She asks. "As soon as your ready to go, we'll go." I say brushing my thumb across her cheek. "How about tomorrow morning. Oh, wait! We can't stay here, it wouldn't be right to do that to Joey." Thalia explains.

At the little runts name I growl. He really makes my blood boil. Of course he found her first, but I will love her more and I will protect her like my life is on the line. "Eli, you have to face the fact that, even though, I'm yours, I was his at one point. I can't stay here and be with you." She explains. I take three deep breaths before I nod my head. "I stayed at a hotel a mile or two away from here. We could stay there tonight and head home tomorrow." I propose. "Okay, thats a good deal. I just have to say bye to some people first." Thalia says getting of my lap. I nod my head and go with her outside Joey's office door. I releasse her hand and go to wait in the living room. I sit on the couch when her brother and his mate, Levina, walk in. THey're laughing about something he said but stop abruptly when they see me.

"So your the bastard that stole my brothers mate. Well guess what? She will always love him no matter what you two do together. A peice of her will always yern for him." Levina says poking me in the chest. I blink at her confused. "Who's your brother again?" I ask confused. "Joey Barnes... You might know him as your mates first mate? Or the person you stole Thalia from?" Levina says pushing me off the couch before sitting down crossing her arms at me lying on the floor.

"Sorry Eli. She gets protective of her family and friends." Trent says helping me up. "Apparently I'm not a friend." I say sarcastically. "No duh, dimwit." Levina mumbles. Trent starts laughing but it dies down quickly. Trent bites his lip and rubs the back of his neck.

Thalia comes into the room breaking the awkward silence around us. "Hey Trent. We're heading out now, so can I get a hug?" Thalia asks walking over to him. He opens his arms and hugs her as I bite back a growl. I hear Thalia giggle quietly and get confused. "Your cute when your possessive." Thalia says giggling again. She faces me and smiles as I feel my cheeks heat up in embarrassment.

"Your really leaving. There's nothing I can do to make you stay? Nothing at all?" Trent asks Thalia almost pleadingly. "Sorry but my pack needs there luna. Plus, there's someone who wants to meet you, Thalia." I explain. "Who wants to meet me?" Thalia asks me looking at me confused. "Surprise." I say smirking at her.

"No! No way in hell am I getting on that!" Thalia says crossing her arms. "It's just a motorcycle Thalia. And it's your mate driving, I would never intentionally hurt you. Plus we have no other way to my pack." I say. "I'm still not getting on it Eli. My brother almost died because he crashed his motorcycle. I don't wanna die Eli." Thalia says shuttering slightly. I take her hand in mine and rub gently circles on her hand. "I won't let you die, ever! If you died I would have no will to live anymore." I say looking down at her with tears blurring my vision.

"Fine, I'll get on the bike. But if you so much as swerve a little I will scream and jump off." Thalia says taking the helmet in my hand and putting it on. I laughed and put mine on as well. I swing my leg over and sit as Thalia reluctantly swings her leg over.

"Okay, I'm ready."
