The Loss of her Mate. Ella's Story

Chapter 7. Ella

Ella 2006

In the last four years, I have not taken on any new children. The last one still her in Kyle he is only nine now, but they were able to locate his Father last year who has been visiting and doing all requirements needed to gain custody he never even knew about Kyle. His name is Jack, he is married with two children who are 5 and 3. 

I look out from my seat on the porch, Kyle is still at school, so I am enjoying my Morning. When john’s car pulls up. He says something to a small child in the back seat. When he got out he comes to the Porch.

“Morning miss Ella. I know you have not taken in any new children in a while, and I know that you are thinking about retiring. But that little girl is special.” 

I look at the girl. “What makes her special Jhon?” He looks around and whispers so softly that if I was not a wolf I would never have heard it. 

“She is a Pup.” my eyes shoot up. 

“Bring her in” He moves to the car and retrieves a very scared five-year olf pup. Who holds his hand. She is in an oversized hoody with the hood pulled all the way up. And looking at the ground. She is holding a small Silver stuffed wolf. 

“Elizabeth, this is Miss Ella, She is a good person, you're going to stay with her for a little while.” I crouch down.

“Hi, Elizabeth, why don't you come in.” She just nods her head. I grab her hand and lead them in 

“Have a seat in the Kitchen John, I am going to show her to her room.” I walk up the stairs.

“Elizabeth this is your room” I open the door, she looks up causing her hood to fall down. Her hair is liquid silver in color. I gasp and her eyes move to me they are the exact same color as her hair. She gets tears and pulls her hood up and runs to the bed. “Elizabeth I am going to go talk to John I will be back in just a few ok.” She doesn't say anything. Just cry's more.

I make it back to the kitchen. “John, She has Silver Hair and Eye’s” 

“I know Miss Ella, Did her wolf talk to you?”

“How can her wolf talk to me she is what five?”

He nods his head “According to her Wolf yes, her parents died two years ago in an accident. She was almost adopted recently, they were not good parents.”

“Are you saying her wolf spoke to You that is not possible?”

“I told you She is Special. I did not know who else to bring her to Ella, you're the only Wolf I know the only one I trust with her, I don't know why but, Zack and I both wish to protect this pup.” 

“I feel it to Ella, I love all the kids but this pup needs us she is special” Willow agrees. 

“Of course she can stay, Kyle’s dad should be getting custody in the next week or so. I want it known she is the only one I will be taking you and I both know that a Pup can be unpredictable.” He nods his head. 

“I am just going to get her bag.” It only takes him a few minutes while I start some cookie batter. He leaves shortly after I sign all the forms needed. And gives me all documentation. “Why dos she not have a last name?” 

“When she was found she did not have one and when the adoption fell thew she still did not have one.”

“Start the forms to have my last name,” I say as he walks out the door. Not long after the cookies are now done.

I plate a couple and grab a glass of milk walking into her room she is still crying. I pick her up and place her in my lap. For a second her eye’s become a darker Silver. And I can smell the scent of a wolf for a split second. His eyes return tears still pouring from her eyes. After many sweet words, she finally says. 

“Ca… Call, Me…. Beth.” I nod my head. 

“Ok Beth.

Once she is calmed down. I lay her down for a nap and go to make dinner. Standing at the sink my wonders to the first time I cooked for Jack.

FlashBack 1974

“Tonight Is the Night,” I say giggling to Katie. “We have known we are mates for several months, I think it is the time right?” I say rambling. All Katie does is laugh.

“I don't know why you have waited four months, it's not like you did not always have a crush on him you know.” 

“Not everyone mates their fist night Kate.” I stick my tongue out at her. “Ok I got to go, I am going to his house to cook diner and do something special.” She laughs again.

In no time I make my way to his small cabin. I use the Key he gave me. I place all the stuff I need to make him Stake, mashed potatoes, and green beans, with homemade biscuits. I hope I can do this I am not much of a cook, the cook always does the cooking. 

In no time I have managed to burn the stakes, the mashed toes are both hard and soft. “How is this even posable” I growl out. 

“Smoke” I hear willow say in my head, s**t s**t. I open the oven to burnt biscuits. I can stop the tears that come down just as the front door slams open.

“Bella, Why is there so much smoke. Bella honey why are you on the floor, what is with the tears”

“I tired….. To Make…. You and nice diner” I try to get out between hiccups.

He chuckles. “Go take a shower. I will get this all cleaned up and make you dinner.” He kisses my cheek and sends me to his room to shower.

End of flashback.

I am brought out of my thought by the school Bus dropping off Kyle.

“I miss them.” Willow whimpers.
