Forgotten

Chapter fourteen

Chapter fourteen

I woke up next to Eli the next day to see him dead asleep. I slip out of his grasp and into the bathroom. I turn on the shower and get in.

After ten minuets I here the bathroom door open and call out, "Don't even think about it Eli."

"Oh, come on! Please!" Eli pleads with me. "Nope. Besides, I'm done." I say steeping out of the shower. I wrap a towel around myself and push past Eli into our room. I go into our closet and dry off before getting changed into my shorts and tank top. I walk out with my hair still in a towel.

Eli is no longer in the room so I dry my hair and put it into a messy bun. I walk down the hall and into the living room. I spot him outside skipping stones on the lake. I walk outside and wrap my arms around him from behind.

"Thought you'd never show up." Eli says, turning his head to look at me. "Eli, I think we should-" I'm cut off when Eli pushes me behind him. I can't see around him but can smell it's another werewolf.

"What. Do. You. Want?" Eli asks angrily. "Thalia. That's what I want. I want my mate back scruffy little runt!" I'd recognize that voice anywhere... Joey.

"Well you can't have her. She's mine now, can't you smell her scent?" Eli asks. I hear sniffing and freeze. It was a while before I heard Joey growl.

I run in front of Eli and narrowly miss a punch Joey had thrown. "Why him?! He did kill your father!" Joey screams at me. "My dad is alive, Joey. And what happened to you?" I had finally taken a look at him, and let me tell you he looked horrible. His brown hair had grown but had been cut off in chunks so it covered his eyes in some places and in others it was reaching halfway down his forehead. His eyes were bloodshot and had black bags under them. His clothes were ripped and you could see red festering wounds on his torso.

A rough laugh came from Joey. "Me? Well I've been looking for you. Also I've been looking for the little runt that killed my parents and sister." Joey says starting to laugh at the end. "But who do you care. Your life is perfect! You got your dad back and I guess that made you forget about your brothers. Trent has been locked in his room crying because his mate is dead. Tried to kill himself even. And what have you been doing? Mating with the jerk that ruined my life!" Joey shouts pushing me out of his way.

I stumble to the ground and fall on a rock, my shoulder connecting with it. I can feel my skin break open and I start bleeding. I grab my shoulder and look up at Eli and Joey. Eli has Joey's arms pined behind his back.

I try to get up but only achieve to whimper in pain when I put pressure on my arm. Eli's head snaps to me and he looks me up and down. He sees the blood on my shoulder, I'm assuming, and runs over, letting go of Joey.

He walks over to me crouching to look at my arm. I see Joey stalking towards us and push myself up, stepping in front of Eli.

"If you want me, then here I am." I say poking Joey's chest. He smiles arrogantly t me but shakes his head.

"Not yet." He says turning and walking away from us.

"We have to get you shoulder cleaned then we should head home. I don't want another encounter with him." Eli says wrapping his arm around my waist as we walk inside. We head to the bathroom and clean my wound. After cleaning it Eli places a bandage over it and pecks me on the lips.

I pack our bags as he makes lunch, surprisingly. Once done packing I out them in the truck and come back inside to our room. I take my phone out and dial Trent's number.

"Hello?" Trent's tired voice says.

"Hey Trent." I whisper.

"Thalia? Where have you been? Haven't you gotten any of my messages?" Trent asks in a hurry.

"Um, no? What do you want?" I ask.

"Don't trust Joey. He went insane when you left. Ranting about destroying Eli's pack and making you his. He even thinks Levina and his parents are dead." Trent finishes.

"Really?"

"Yeah. Kyle and Kenny are helping their dad run the pack because Levina said no."

"How are Kenny and Kyle. Oh, and do I have a new niece yet?"

"Isadora is doing fine. She went into labour yesterday and from what I've heard it's a healthy boy named Anthony River Soles. He looks exactly like Riley did when he was little."

"I'm so happy for them. I'll have to call them some time and congratulate them. Oh, and Trent."

"Yeah?"

"Can you keep an eye on Joey. See if he's planning something on Eli's pack...my pack?"

"Sure. I'll talk to you later sis. Bye." Trent says before hanging up.

"You finally admitted it. It is your pack." Eli says coming up behind me. I jump out of my skin when he talks and glare angrily at him.

"Well it is, isn't it?"

"Of course it is. Now let's go eat." Eli says leading me to the dinning table.

After lunch we got in the car and started driving home. I staring out the window thinking when I had an epiphany.

"Did you know about the prophecy?" I ask. Eli looks at me out of the corner of his eyes.

"Yeah, I did." He responds looking back at the road.

"Why are you called the enemy? You don't really seem that bad. Scratch that, you're not bad at all." I say grabbing his hand.

"Because the person who wrote it thought I had killed your father."

"Yeah why did you do that?"

"That is a complicated topic, but I'll try my best to explain."

Sorry for the really long wait. I was in the hospital for a really long time and couldn't write. And then my best friend almost died so my life has been very stressful.

I'll try not to be to long with next chapter because I'll be done school in about 6-10 days!
