What's Wrong With Her? [COMPLETED]

THIRTY-ONE

THIRTY-ONE

[Elle's POV]

"Alex attacked me."

My mouth drops open.

"I had to do my best to protect Elle," he motions over to me, "I tried to keep Elle away from him, but he hurt her wrist and arm too, look,"

Alex groaned loudly as he goes to say something, but his face is pushed into the carpet.

"He slashed her, with the knife he had" he explains,

I am too shocked to even say anything.

"He must be dealt with appropriately," my dad says loudly, so that everyone could hear, "Mate or not, he hurt his already ill mate and tried to attack me,"

I finally managed to find the courage to speak, "He's lying"

Everyone looks over to me.

"He's lying," I repeat, "He attacked Alex. I tried to help, and dad cut me with the knife when he tried to attack me,"

"Elle," Caleb said sympathetically,

"No," I shouted, "Don't do that. I know what happened." I looked around frantically, "I know what happened,"

My dad looked at me, "Elle, you hit your head, you're ill, you don't remember what happened,"

I shake my head, "You," I feel tears prick my eyes, "You're a liar."

I go to lunge for him but am stopped quickly as two strong arms wrap around me.

"Her mate has obviously brainwashed her into thinking we are the bad guys," I hear my dad state as I thrash around, "Take her away, we'll deal with her later once we've dealt with the Alpha here,"

I scream loudly as I feel myself being taken away, "No!" I continue to scream and shout, "Alex!"

I can hear Alex faintly shouting my name and see him being dragged up off the ground.

Over my screams and all the commotion, I hear a voice boom across the room, "Wait! Stop a minute!"

Everyone stops, quiet. It was Caleb, he used his Alpha voice.

Whoever was holding me lets go. I see Caleb holding the knife in the corner of the room, he asks; "This is the knife dad?"

Dad nods, "Yes the knife that Alex attacked us with,"

Caleb nods and spins the knife between his two hands, "So you're saying, that this knife, Alex got from, somewhere, and attacked you when you came in to speak to him?"

Dad looks sceptically, "He must have taken it from the house he was being held captive at?"

"But Elle was with Alex that whole time," Caleb looked over at me, "Right?"

I nodded.

"He obviously got the knife before finding Elle and kept it hidden," my dad states, "Caleb, come on, where are you going with this?"

"I just find it odd," he states, walking slowly over to my dad, "How, if this is Alex's knife, how it looks exactly the same as the one grandad used to have, the same engravings, and his name."

Everyone is quiet.

"It's grandads?" I hear Ethan ask,

"Yeah look," Caleb hands the knife to Ethan.

Ethan inspects it, "T. Miller," he says quietly, "Grandad's initial," he looks up and back at Caleb,

"Exactly," Caleb looks over at dad, "I've seen grandad use this knife, so I know it's his. So, care to explain dad?"

I see my dad's eyes flick around the room.

Then suddenly, it was like everything happened in slow motion. Dad growled loudly and I watched as his shifts into his wolf, his clothes shredding into a million pieces and falling onto the floor.

He lunges for Alex, but members of his pack are quick to react and tackle him from the side. He falls to the floor and growls loudly; his eyes are black and he's breathing loudly. You can tell he's angry.

I hear more growling and see more wolves appear. They all move slowly and stand in front of Alex to protect him. There is so many wolves there I can't even see Alex anymore.

"Elle, we should go," I hear someone say quietly from next to me,

"Not without Alex," I reply, tears filling my eyes. I couldn't believe that my pack were protecting Alex, after everything that had happened.

My dad lets out another growl, and looks between the wolves standing there, but nothing happens. He lets out a smaller growl at the wolf who is stood slightly in front of the others, who I'm sure is Caleb, I just can't tell. The wolf counteracts with a growl.

I see my dad take a step back and rushes towards the door.

I feel myself being pulled out of the way and feel the rush of air as he runs past me.

The wolf which I thought was Caleb lets out a small growl and nods towards the door, suddenly more wolves are running past me and, in the direction that my dad went.

It was quiet. Silent. So silent you could hear a pin being dropped.

There were only three wolves left in the room now, which I assumed to be my brothers.

"Hang on," I hear a voice say from behind me.

I turn to see Noah turn and run into the room a couple of rooms down. He returns a couple of minutes later with a couple pairs of clothes.

"They want you to turn around," he says to me.

I turn and hear them all shifting back. "All done," I hear one of them say and I turn back.

They were all stood in the middle of the room, back in human form with joggers and tops on.

"Elle," Caleb said,

I shook my head, "You believed him," I stated and looked at them all, "You all believed him,"

Aiden went to speak but I cut him off.

"I don't want to hear it. Just because of what you'd been told about Alex, you believed what dad had said. I think you should all leave Alex and I alone right now," I stated, walking over and sitting on the bed,

"Elle, you need someone to look at your arm," Ethan stated, as he started to walk over to me,

"I'll deal with it," I hissed, stopping him in his tracks, as I put my other hand over it to try and stop the bleeding,

My brother's and Noah slowly trickled out of the room, only leaving Alex and me.

I looked up at Alex, I felt tears fill my eyes and start to fall down my face.

Alex quickly came over and sat next to me on the bed, he put his arm around me and pulled me in close to him, his ran his fingers through my hair.

"I've lost them all, all of them," I said through my tears,

Alex shushed me quietly, "Don't be silly," he said, "They will never leave you Elle, they were just brainwashed by your dad, like you were,"

I shake my head in his chest and wrap my arms around him, "I feel so stupid."
