Screw You,Alpha Elijah!!

Chapter 11

Leah’s POV

I buried my head in tears when his aura made me raise my head up a little, my eyes landed on the handkerchief in his hands, “Here you go..” I hit his hands off and rose to my feet.

“Why didn’t you tell me about his death?”

“You know what Elijah? Your brother Jeremy is better than you, I wish this could be reversed, you should be the one dead and not Jeremy.”

I wiped off my tears but I just couldn’t stop the tears, the news hurt me deeply and I am certain if he was alive, he could have been helpful to look for my kids. I should have known when I came to the town but my head was occupied with finding my kids and my friend.

“I agree with you on this ex-mate, I should be the one dead and not him.”

“I am glad we are now on the same page..”

Thinking about the whole thing, I needed to stay for the sake of Jeremy, I hurt his lover and daughter. I remembered when he told me about them saying I hope I will treat them with love just in case he is not around once I get married to his brother, I need to fulfil that for him as a way to repay his kindness to me.

My stomach made a loud noise, damnn it!!! I could see a smile curving on Elijah’s face, I hate this.

“Food is ready Leah,let’s eat and do not think I am trying to get back with you,I just want you to be better for my brother's sake.”

I scoff, folding my hands, “Do you really think I will want a weakly like you? Come on think again and lastly I have a new mate now so screw you.” I gave the middle finger.

Why is he having that look on his face? Is he jealous or something? No way, he can’t be jealous, he has already moved on before he rejected me as his mate.

“What did you just say?”

“You heard me the first time.” I felt like a boss walking away and leaving him in that state and the first thing I needed to do is to apologise to that kid and then her mom, spend a few days so they see I am getting better and boom I will leave.

Luckily I found Hannah all by herself looking at a particular flower with tears in her eyes, I have a feeling Jeremy planted orchids himself. “You are just as beautiful as this orchid.”

She didn’t mind me at all and I knew I had to try harder if I wanted her to forgive me.

“Hannah,I am sorry,I didn’t mean to sound that way earlier, please forgive me and let’s start all over again.” I meant it this time around with my hands stretched out to her and she held them with her tiny little hands.

“Thank you so much Hannah, so can I get a hug?” She nodded her head and I hugged her, lifting her from the ground. I was really honoured to witness her beautiful smiles. Now I see the beauty of Jeremy in her, she smiles just like her father.

“I see you two are best of friends now?” Hannah's mom joined us and I also apologised to her and finally I was at peace with everyone.

“Just call me Angela.” Hannah mom introduced herself to me since we were starting afresh and letting go of the sad moments earlier.

I walked with them to the dining room for us to eat together since my stomach is so good at embarrassing me.

I felt a bit awkward sitting with Elijah and eating on the same table,my heart won’t stop beating,what is wrong with my heart?

“So are you going to stay with them till you get better?” Cindy voices in my head.

“Yes, I am doing this because Jeremy will want the same.”

“Are you sure you are not doing this to get closer to him?”

“Hell no Cindy, I will never get back with Elijah, I hate him.”

“We both know how hard you are trying to hate him but you know the truth which I can feel because we are one,so stop lying.”

“Cindy, get some sleep.” I stopped talking with her and paid attention to Angela who happens to be a nurse as well.

“Well I checked your vitals, they didn’t come out well, I really have no cure at all for now but I will keep on trying to make sure you get better.”

“Now I am lost,what do you mean?”

“If we don’t treat you properly,I’m afraid you might not make it…” She finally let out the word.

“So the plague will kill me just like everyone else, you know I lost my family to that plague too but you just said there is a cure right?” My voice sounded so weak because I never expected such news. Why do I have to be weak? I am certain if I didn’t have the plague,Elijah would never have rejected me.

“Might be.”

“Then please try harder, I need to live for them.”I wanted to get this false hope from her that she can save me even if personally I have been told that there is no cure.

“I will try and you don’t need to cry.” She hugged me, like how on earth did she know I was about to cry? I couldn’t bear it but I let it out. I really don’t want to die, I need to live for my triplets and my friend. They are the reason for my existence. Moon goddess,please help me.

I returned to the room to get my sleep after a long talk with Hannah and Angela. I took the herbs she prepared for me and climbed my bed. About to sleep, I could feel his presence, I really don’t know why he was looking out for me when he actually ended things with me.

I wonder what kind of nightmare I had, I could hear someone crying all through the night but when I woke up,I found Elijah in my room. What the hell is he doing here? A part of me wants to scream and kick him out but the other part of me wants to touch his handsome face. Oh no,did I just say handsome? Leah snapped out of this thought already. I cleared my throat but his hands already gripped mine that I couldn’t move. Why was he holding my hands and sleeping in an uncomfortable way?

I slowly placed my hands on his hair,so soft and I lost control as if our bond had been awakened. About kissing his cheek,his eyes opened meeting with mine,my heart was about to run out from my body,what do I do?

“I miss you so much….” HUH??? Is he sleep talking? I need to get out of his grip like right now,my heart..my body about to betray me again and that was it, our lips touched and the butterflies in my belly woke up dancing.. oh damn it,what has this demi-god done to me?
