An alpha is only as strong as his Luna and can only run the pack properly as long as she is safely beside him, but what happens when she seems so far gone? When he is sent to find her but it feels as if he’s chasing a ghost? After all, Ella was taken far from the pack to avoid her fate of being Luna. _____ "Please, Ella," Jake practically cried, his heart in his words as he held her hands so tightly it were as if he thought she would disappear right in front of him. "Come home with me, you'll have our- your pack again. You won't be alone anymore." His inner wolf howled in pain as his practically begged her to leave with him, before her he never had to beg anyone for anything- but he'd do anything just to have her safe beside him. Ella shook her head, tears teasing her waterline as she softly grinned at him; using her thumbs to brush his knuckles affectionately. "I'm sorry, but my parents-" She replied, her tone mousy as their eye c****t broke. "I feel as if I'm betraying them if I do... I can't, Jake." ________
