The Ghosts of my Past [Completed]

10. Elijah

-About One year ago-

"Oh my god"
"What? Whats up?!"
"Look there, the guy with the black curly hair, those eyes... He is from... Wel you know my home town. "
"Gosh he is gorgeous, can I have him? Or wait... He is looking at you"
I couldn't help but grin as i looked back at Elijah. I deserved some fun! A few weeks ago i rejected Josh as my mate. It had hurt like hell. Still did but i just couldn't stay there and be a wife to the future beta. He had been pretty clear he wanted me there. No way I was going to start a dance carere in the big city. Wel that sucked for him because I was not going to listen. After about a hunderd fights I decided I was done and told him I rejected him as a mate. He had looked at me like I slapped him in the face. But then he just nodded and rejected me too. My heart broke, not like it would when you really loved somebody. Because I didn't love him. But a huge conection to my heritage and my wolf part broke at that moment.
And after a few weeks of fighting with my parents i decided to leave town early and meet up with my bestie Isabell. And now we were in a club to forget about all that stupid shit.

" I had a huge crush on him in high school, but he had a mate.... She died a few years back". I told Isabell while drinking my drink. I was still looking at him and he was looking at me. "Well go for it! He's hot! You look hot, have some fun! God knows you deserve it after al that stuff you went through."
I smiled, yeah I did! So i put my drink down and walked up to Elijah. His eyes were still fixed on me. I felt confidentin my tight purple dress and black heels. My hair up in a messy bun and silver hoops in my ears.
"Hey there stanger" I said with a smal but flirtatious smile.
He stood there leaning against the wall eyeing me up and down as I stopped in front of him.
"Shouldn't you be with your mate?"
My mood went from sunny to thunderstorm. Honestly! Although I knew he was part of our pack he was hardly around. Even as a kid he was an outsider. When he became of age he disapeared. He wasn't really one to follow the rules! And now he was telling me I should be with my mate?
At first I wanted to scream at him. But on the second hand. I wasn't going to let him ruin my night. And I wanted fun tonight! If he was going to be a wolf and go and tell me what I had to do... I was going to leave him here.
"I rejected my mate honey... But If you are going to go all parental and tell me how that was the worst mistake in my life... join the rest of the pack" I turned around ready to walk away from him. But he grabbed my arm, pulled me closer "Why?" He didn't sound mad or anything. "We were a mach made in Hell" I grinned. I didn't look at him, my back was still turned at him and I could feel his warm breath in my neck.
He turned me towards him again looking me up and down. There was something new in his eyes. No judgement more something like admiration. I kind of liked it. "I wasn't made for pack life" I pushed his arm away slowly. "Or to be a possesive mans wife"
I took a step back. "Care to dance?" I smiled at him and got a crooked smile back as he pushed himself away from the wall.

-Present day-

"Lillith, can we please talk?" Elijah didn't listen to Isabell, he had pushed her aside and stepped into my room.
"Hey! Amber is sleeping you ass..."
"It's okay Isabell, go downstairs... have something to eat... whatever" I was still staring at the ceiling. I didn't want this converstation. I thought I would never have it! Elijah almost never showed up in town. And now... he wanted to talk. And I knew about what. Isabell didn't react imediatly. She stood there for a few seconds, probably giving Elijah the glare of death. She was good at that. But then the door closed and I felt somebody sitting down on the bed. I pushed myself up avoiding to look at Elijah as I put a pillow in my back and leaned against it. My head still hurted like hell but It was better without al those people around. I finaly looked at Elijah only to find him looking at Amber in her crib. Great...

He turned his face to me, were I thought I would find anger I found only sadness in his eyes. I frowned. "Damian... how well do you know the guy?"
Now I was really surprised... No questions about Amber, about anything considereing him knowing this was his daughter. And nothing about me keeping this a secret... but maybe he thought I slept around. I took a deep breath, If he wasn't going to talk about it, neither was I!

"We had a thing back when I had just left town for College" I shrugged. "Didn't end that wel obviously" I didn't look at Elijah, I stared at the wall oposite of my bed covered in old pictures of me and my friends in highschool.
"What means didn't end wel?" He asked and I looked back at Elijah. I didn't like thinking about that time. "He was looking for a she-wolf that would do as he pleased. At first I went allong. But at some point I started to fight back. As you know..." I couldn't help but grin a bit thinking about what I told him when we met a year ago "I am not the girl to do that... He tried to break me... he definetly did but I wasn't giving in. So he got fed up with me... moved on." I wasn't going in to details in how he moved on. He got a good few people I knew to hate the hell out of me. Treat me like I was nothing. But soon enough I met Isabell and Damian just disapeared.
"And now he is here? Why?"
"How should I know!" I couldn't just sit around anymore I had to walk around. I didn't like to admit it but Elijah made me nervous. The way he looked at me. My stomach turned everytime our eyes met.
"It's not me thats for sure... they were talking about it... him and his fucked up mate"
"Yeah, I didn't have the plesure to meet her... what's her name?"
"Summer"
Discust sounded in my voice. How could somebody so messed up have a name like that.
"And wouldn't mind whatever he or she wanted to do with me, I know Damian wouldn't like playing around with me if he didn't have anything on me... but now he does" I felt sick at the idea of Damian and Summer getting their hands on Amber. I looked at her seing she was close to waking up as she started to move around.
"I wish I could just leave but...."
"That would be even more dangerous"
I looked up at Elijah still sitting on the bed. His eyes fixaded on my baby... his baby altough I didn't know if he realised that. The first whimpers sounded of Amber waking up and I walked up to her bending over to get her out of the crib. But as I bended over I yelped in pain. Broken ribs... they sucked!
"You shouldn't do that! Sit down, let me..." I wanted to stop him, really! But he was way faster then me as he took my shoulders genbtly and pushed me back to my bed. I held my breath as he reached in the crib and gently took Amber in his arms. He held her close for just one second and looked at her. A smal smile showed on his face.
At that moment I knew! I just knew he knew she was his. But the smile disapeared as he gave her to me. And he didn't say a word! As he handed her over to me we looked at each other in silence. It was a look of understanding, I knew... he knew but we didn't say a word. Why didn't he say anything? Any other guy would go crazy! But maybe he had his reasons. Maybe he didn't want this baby. But something told me that wasn't true. Maybe my wolf... my wolf liked Elijah, but she knew just as well as me that there was something about him Something dangerous... That was ofcourse why I fell for him in the first place. He was a badboy. Just a different kind then mister Asshole Damian.

"She looks a lot like you" With these words he broke the silence and I couldn't help but smile. "I know... let's hope she doesn't have my temper"
"I like your temper"
Another silence, but this one was a whole different kind. The awkward kind. "I'll go now" He said stepping back and avoiding more eye contact. "I will be close though. If he steps in this house it wil be the last thing he does"
