The Ancient Packs Bride

Episode 4

Hearing the water start to run Gloria took the opportunity to apply some ointment to the bruises, she smiled as she helped me up "okay I just need to apply it to your back" I nodded as I sighed at the coldness of the ointment. The bathroom door opened before Gloria was finished, I tried to pull my jumper down without Ollie seeing my battered skin "oh I'm sorry, I thought you were done" I didn't turn round when I muttered out "thank you, yes we're finished now so we will be on our way" standing up I limped over to the door. Gloria aided me until I heard Ollie grunt out "do you always pretend like everything is okay?" I stopped frozen to the spot "everything is okay, I don't want to get you into trouble with the Alpha" he chuckled "he can't do anything to me".

Spinning round I came face to face with a head spinning vision, Ollie was only wearing a towel round his waist, his light brown hair looked darker because of the water that was dripping down his chest and onto his 6 pack which was well defined. Rising my eyes back up to meet his aqua blue eyes, it was then that I realised I had been staring "Eliza?" Turning back round to Gloria I whispered "let's go, we have to get dinner started" she nodded and followed me out. Reaching the kitchen, I grabbed a bottle of water when Gloria stated "my dear stop pushing yourself, you need to rest" closing my eyes I ignored the pain when I snapped back "I can rest when I'm dead and if they have anything to do with it, it will be soon" looking at my hands on the counter Gloria didn't say anything else.

Preparing the dinner Gloria was cooking while I sat chopping and mixing the ingredients together, before it was finished my father stormed into the room pushing me to the ground. Gasping for air as I hit my ribs hard all I could hear was him yelling at me but all my concentration was going into ignoring the pain, that's when I heard "YOU UNGRATEFUL b***h, WE GIVE YOU A ROOF OVER YOUR HEAD AND YOU GIVE US NOTHING BUT TROUBLE" everything went black. I couldn't see or feel anything the only thought going through my head was "am I dead?", I could hear talking there was yelling and screaming but there was one person who kept calling my name.

As much as I tried I couldn't open my eyes, someone was sat next to me holding my hand. I could feel someone next to me when I heard a deep voice "son, how is she?" No answer the voice croaked out "we will have to go soon we can't stay here" my hand was released when a familiar voice snapped back "I'm not leaving her here", the other voice answered back "she is not who you are promised too" the familiar voice muttered out "I know but I don't want some rich spoilt princess, she's real and I can't leave her here to suffer even more" there was a sigh then a door shut. My hand was grabbed again when he whispered "Eliza please wake up soon" I then felt something warm on my hand, I don't know who this person is but I tried again to open my eyes or to talk.

My energy was draining, there was a beeping noise that was speeding up until a bright light flashed in my eyes. Jumping up, my heart was racing as my eyes adjusted to the new light I looked round the room. A gentle voice reached my ears "Eliza?" Looking towards the voice I tilted my head "yes, who are you?" I could see this man’s face dropped as he stated "Eliza, it's me Ollie" he took a step closer and I moved away "where's my father and mother?" I could see that he was pained by my actions but he pushed past it "who are your parents? I will go and get them" shaking my head "no, where's Gloria?" He sighed "she's downstairs waiting for me to tell her your awake" I nodded before I tried to get up out of the bed.

Losing all of my strength from my legs I started to fall towards the ground when a pair of strong arms wrapped round my waist holding me up in place, hot breath reached my ear followed by a husky whisper "be careful, you will hurt yourself". My breath hitched as I looked up towards the handsome stranger, he placed me back on the bed as he smiled "I will go and get Gloria, wait here". I didn't say anything, I didn't want to get in trouble. Watching him leave the room, as soon as the door was closed I tried to get my strength up to be able to stand but the best I could do is holding onto the bed walking round to the other side. Walking towards the window I could see the moon which always seems to calm me down no matter the circumstances, staring up at the moon I didn't hear anything.

Lost in my little world until a click reached my ears, ignoring it I could imagine who it was that's when the confirmation that I needed came like a ton of bricks "You Have Him Wrapped Round Your Little Finger, Your A Slut" closing my eyes trying to transport to my happy place which isn't here anymore. That is until the owner of the voice grabbed my hair yanking me back and throwing me to the floor, hitting my head against something hard I hissed in pain. Looking up to the culprit smirking at me, I felt the blood drain from my face "daddy please don't do this" his face became fierce from anger as he yelled "DON'T CALL ME THAT, I'M NOT YOUR FATHER" my tears were ready to fall that until he started to kick me with so much force i actually heard something snap inside me.

Screaming out in pain, I held my right arm. Balled up on the floor I kept screaming, he tried to stop me but I wouldn't stop until I felt safe. The door swung open and I could see my father go to the people at the door when two figures ran over to me, one was Gloria as she touched my arm I screamed out in pain. Gloria's face dropped and I could see the anger on her face, the other figure was the man from earlier I think his name was Ollie. He helped me up and back onto the bed when we both heard "Get Out Of Here Now" we looked towards the voice, it held so much venom I went to say something but my father beat me to it "don't speak to me like that, I'm your Alpha, show respect" Gloria's canines lengthened when I said "grandmother, don't".

Gloria turned to me with shock in her eyes, walking over to the bed she joined my side when Ollie stood up "excuse me Alpha, Eliza needs rest" my father nodded but not before shouting at me "SHE IS NOT FAMILY REMEMBER THAT" taking Gloria's hands I whispered "your more like family to me than anyone else" Gloria smiled kissing my head when Ollie interrupted "Gloria, you could get into serious trouble for speaking to your Alpha like that" Gloria tutted out "I only have one Alpha and he isn't it" she looked back at me and I shook my head "no, he is your Alpha Gloria" she sighed out "well I can't stay here now". That's when I spoke my thoughts "maybe you could come with me" they both looked at me with questioning looks "that will be the bargain, I will go if you can come with me".
