Just Ella

Joining The Pack

Ella's POV

Seeing Lorain and Clay so happy was making my smile appear out of nowhere in surpise but also pleasure. They had never been this happy and it was all because of my amazing mate. Even looking at him now I felt a strong pull and a proud feeling for him to be mine. He has made it clear that he likes me but he doesnt know who I am or what I have done. But what can I do. I f I refuse him he could throw me back to that pack and probably toss out the kids too which I couldnt allow now that they look so happy. 

"Come on Ella! Come see the cookies." Lorain screamed pulling my hand. Nate rushed to my side but I put my hand up to him. Yes, I ached and every part of my body hurt, but that was no excuse to disappoint the kids. I took a deep breath as they got off the bed and Nate took my hand but I snatched it away. I didnt always need help, I was stronger then that and he needed to know that . I ignored his hurt face and swung my legs round to the side of the bed taking a deep breath before putting weight on them. 

I wanted to cry out as I let my power wash over my body feeling the breeze on my legs. Only Nate knew how gross I looked and I didnt want anyone else to know. It took its toll on me but I used my power and even got to my feet. I felt my legs wobble and Nate put his arm around me tightly, I sighed knowing he wasnt going to let go. Lorain and Clay looked at me looking sad at my weak state and I almost saw a few tears. I put on a genuine smile and laughed a little. "Your cookies have shock my body with excitement" I excused it as they laughed and ran out the room. 

Suddenly I realised that we werent alone in the room. Meg and Charlie was staring at the ground tryingt o not intrude but the other women was gleeming at me with a bright smile. I felt awkward at her stare and wondered if she was on drugs or something. I looked down and felt my legs give out more as Nate let me put more pressure on him. I felt my breathing get more heavy as I bowed my head at the women. "Ma'am, I am Ella. I am sorry to intrude in your home....." I started silently and slowly waiting for her to yell but all she did rush forward and grab my hand making my eyes dart to hers in fear. My breathing got less heavy as I looked into her eyes,

They were so gently and loving I wondered if I was dreaming. "Oh, please dear, this is your home to now my soon to be daughter in law" My heart rate picked up as I realised what was happening. Was that the deal? I have to marry her son to keep living here? Could I even do that? I admit I am already feeling something for Nate but I am not that ready. I think he had the same idea.

" Mum, stop scaring her" He nearly yelled at the women as my breaths got shallow. I felt a pang in my chest and my legs gave up completely. I felt the fire rush all over my body feeling the familiar feeling of  Kanes power. I clentched my teeth together to not scream as the pain got worse. Nate laid me down on the bed almost screaming if I was alright. I squeezed my eyes tight and waited for it too stop. But it didnt. It got worse and worse and I felt my bullet wounds start to open as Nate called out someones name. 

Seconds later I heard some else enter the room and a pair of hands hold my face. I let out my small sobs knowing my tears were obvious.Suddenly the pain stopped though and everything was clear. My hearing was increased so I heard all the shouting of if I was alright and Nates soothing words. I sat up on the bed and put my head between my knees enjoying Nates soothing words and touch that was making my sobs slow down. I hadnt opened my eyes yet and didnt want to knowing I would have to face everyone. 

My breaths calmed down in seconds and as I smelt Lorains and Clays smell I knew I had to get it together. I wiped my tears away and lifted my head and eyes to my surroundings. Meg was crying to Charlies shoulder and Nates mother was watching me almost scared. Nate was sitting by my side with a arm around me calming me down slowly but surely. After a few moments my tears dried up and I leant into Nates shoulder, trying to match his heartbeat.
