It was true. Jay had a plan. He explained everything to Damiano and they send 2 warriors to Boston to watch over Matt and Tina.
Jay insisted I stay with him. I didn’t object considering my relationship with my parents that were on vacay.
Ella agreed on ‘accepting’ Drake. She is to meet him in Starbucks in an hour. We are to drive her there and then wait for her to finish at the caffe down the street.
How does he know this? Well, I written a note and left it in the kitchen where we had the talk hoping he will see it.
She was in her room in Damiano’s house nervous and I am traying to calm her down.
The plan was that Ella ‘accepts’ Drake and then when Matt and Tina are well guarded and safe, she will reject him and Damiano and Jay will come with some of their warriors to kill him. I really hope it works.
Damiano and Jay came to conclusion that there is someone in the pack that let Drake in and is on his side.
Damiano has a pack of almost 900 pack members. And has a big land and great guards guarding the borders. It is impossible to cross them with out permission or someone on your side.
I learned he has 2nd best pack in America even thought it’s only 3th biggest pack.
Drake has been a problem for a long time. Apparently, Ella is his second chance mate. And after he lost the first one, do to rogue attack he lost it and massacred his own pack.
“Why didn’t you tell me?”
“Why didn’t I tell you what?”
“The late night visit?”
I looked down at my hands nervous.
“I was scared that something’s gonna happen to Matt. I thought if you accept him, he would be safe and then I could find a way to fix it. I’m sorry. I should have told you.”
“It’s okay now. But let’s not talk about that anymore. So, you and Jay? Did you do the dirty?”
“What? No. we just slept that’s all. Who do you think I am?”
“Well, he is handsome. And hot. And God those arms.”
Jealousy came to me listening to my best friend talking like that about Jay.
Ella seeing my expression started laughing. Hard.
I throw the pillow at her and we started a pillow fight. That stopped when none of us could breathe due to laughing.
“There’s something I haven’t tell you. About Sam.”
Sam?
“We did it. The night before our midnight adventure.”
“How was it?”
“Good.” She blushed which meant she wasn’t talking the truth.
I raised an eyebrow and she blushed even more.
“Fine it was amazing. It hurt at first but the pain soon left.”
“Were you scared? Before it happened?”
“A little but I don’t regret it.”
“How many times did you do it?”
“2 more times.”
“You wanna know what I walked on in my house on the day after Sam died?” I changed the subject from my best friends’ s*x life.
“What? Don’t tell me your parents doing the dirty.”
“No, they are in Bahamas. At the moment.”
She gave me a questioning look and I explained what my brother and his girlfriend were doing.
“OMG. I feel sorry for you.”
“I can’t look at him the same way ever again. Like ever.”
“Me neither now that you told me. Well let’s change the subject.”
We were interrupted by a knock on the door and in came abuela.
“Oh honey. How are you holding up?”
“Nervous but otherwise I’m ready.”
“That’s my nieta.”
We stood up and followed abuela downstairs where everyone was waiting already. We sat in the car and drove off.
After an hour we came to Starbucks and left Ella there heading to the caffe. Damiano had his warriors guarding in secret so if something happens, we’ll be able to help. And by we, I mean Damiano, Jay and their friends.
The entire time in the caffe abuela was eagerly talking to the boys about their world. She was always a believer that something supernatural is hiding among human kind. And with her stories she also made Ella and I believe the same. But unlike Ella as the years passed by, I believed it less and less.
Ella p.o.v.
I entered the Starbucks where I ordered a latte and sat down on one of the tables. I was nervous and hoped Drake didn’t see the note. But at the same time, I don’t want anything to happen to Matt or his girlfriend because if it did it would somehow be my fault.
While my wolf (Aubrey) was happy that we are accepting our mate. I am not. Damiano thought me how to block her out so she wouldn’t know what was actually happening here and communicate with Drake’s wolf.
It wasn’t even 10 minutes before the bell rang and he stepped in. His eyes landed on me and he started walking towards me. Just before he sat my name was called meaning my coffee was ready. I was about to stand up to go and take it but he went instead of me.
“I’ll take it it’s for my girlfriend sitting by the window.”
How dare he? He kills my boyfriend and expects me to be his girlfriend?
After that he sat down across from me and gave me my coffee. I looked him straight in the eyes.
“I can’t forgive you for what you did. But I am willing to accept you.”
He smiled and I know I should probably feel what a mate should feel but I can’t. every time I look at him, I see Sam laying on his dead bed.
“But.” He frowned at my words. To make the plan work I had to leave on my own where ho couldn’t take advantage of me and mark me and mate me. Because if he does when he dies I there’s a chance I could die too.
“I want to finish high school. And I always wanted to go to college in California. You can come with me but I want to go there and finish it.” I have to talk to him like we actually have a future together.
“And until then I want to live with my parents. They still don’t know and it would be weird if suddenly I move in with my boyfriend. And I don’t want to run away and make them worried.” All this time I was looking him straight in the eyes trying not to show anything.
“This are my conditions. Take it or leave it.”
We stared at each other for a long time. I was getting worried he caught on the lie and will do something.
“Finish high school and college and live with your parents? That’s all?”
I nodded my head and waited to hear his replay.
“Which college?”
“UCLA”
“That’s a good college. When are you leaving?”
“I haven’t even applied yet. And if I am accepted, I would be leaving in the fall.”
“Good.”
“You haven’t answered my question. Do you or do you not agree?”
“Yes. I agree. But after you finish high school you are living with me. And cutting all ties with your friends and family.”
Is he kidding me?
“Are you serious?” I glared at him hoping he’ll say he’s only joking. But he only looks at me serious meaning he is not kidding at all.
I had to give in making it like the truth.
“Fine.”
We spent for about an hour just talking about random stuff. And I will admit if he wouldn’t have killed Sam there’s a chance, I would actually accept him.
But he just had to f**k it up.
Men. I tell you.
