Chapter 3: Aftermath

I sat there for at least an hour before she began to stir. When she woke up all the way, she looked around, when she saw me she screamed. Once she realized it was me she stopped screaming but began bawling instead. She curled herself up in a ball and began to shake.

"Ella, you should take a shower or bath and wash it away, wash him away." I informed her speaking softly. She nodded and slowly got up.

"How di-i-i-id  you find me-e-e-e?" 

"I'll tell you after you get cleaned up." Again she nodded and left the room. I wandered out to her kitchen and threw some food together while she was bathing. I brought the food up and knocked on her door, she opened it hesitantly, then let me in. I handed her a plate and i began eating, she pushed her food around. Her hazel eyes were brimming with tears, her black hair hanging loosely on her shoulders. She looked lost, devastated, and she reminded me of me.

"What do you remember?" I said grabbing her plate and putting it on my empty one, then set it on her desk that was behind me.

"I was walking to gym, he stopped me, he said he wanted to introduce me as the Luna this weekend. He wanted to go over the details. He brought me to his thinking spot, where his friends were waiting." She took a deep shaky breath before continuing. "He said they were there because they are his beta and gamma. I believed him." She began to bawl again.

"Ella, he knows how to manipulate the truth, it is not your fault." I assured her.

She calmed down a bit before continuing, "They grabbed me and pushed me against the tree, he ripped open my pants and tore my underwear before grabbing himself. He forced himself in me." She began sobbing "H-h-h-he br-r-r-a-a-a-gged about ho-o-o-ow, i di-i-i-dn't fight!" Her shoulders were shaking and the sobs tore through her. "The-e-e-en the bla-a-a-ck wolf showed u-u-u-u-up and sa-a-a-aved me."

"WHAT?" We both jumped at the booming voice. A man was seething in her door way. His black hair was a mess, his Hazel eyes, screamed murder. His chiseled face was red with rage. His look said bad to the bone. Black skinny jeans with a chain, combat boots that matched mine, tight black beater showing off his muscles and tattoos. I stood and faced him, my soft expression, turned hard.

"Calm down!" I snapped at him "Your going to set her off." He faced me, finally seeing me there. I was in my fighting position, hands behind my back, feet shoulder width apart. He nodded and took deep breaths to calm himself down. His large hands were gripping the door frame so hard they were white, he slowly stood at his full height which had to be six foot one, but i didn't let that intimidate me, should I need to Ira and I could no doubt kick his ass. He cautiously walked into the room and made his way to Ella. I let him pass, now that he had calmed down.

"Ella, who was it?" He said softly with a murderous rage.

"I can't tell you yet, Olly," she whimpered "You will kill him, and in turn kill yourself."

"She is right, you can't kill him....yet" I said yet with a smirk.

"Who are you?" he raised and eyebrow and looked me dead in the eye.

"That stupid bastard's worst nightmare, but you can call me Finn." He nodded at me, then turned back to Ella. He grabbed her hand and kissed it.

"Is there anything I can get you, El?"

"No, but Finn, you never answered my question." 

I sighed and sat on the foot of her bed, "When you didn't show up to gym, i was worried, what was worse i saw, he and the goon squad weren't there either, I knew what was happening." A lump began to form in my throat. "Ella, when he said he was your mate, i didn't believe him for a second, i even followed you last night." I took a few deep breaths, and continued, "A few years back we "Dated", when i denied him he told me i was a bet, he had to get in my pants or pay up to the other two. Olly is it? do you mind getting me some water?"

"It's Oliver, and sure." He got up, grabbing our plates, and when he was gone i kept going.

"The next day I was walking home and was grabbed from behind. They held me up against a tree, and he... he... well you know what he did. He threatened my sister if I told a soul." Ella looked at me like i had three heads

"Why didn't you warn me?" She said softly

"Why do you think I watched you all day? Why did i leave the gym? How would you have reacted? You would have called me a liar, you would have thought i was jealous of your relationship. Ella I have been planning to kill him since the day i turned fifteen." With each word i felt myself getting worked up.

"You're right, I would've done all those things, I'm sorry Finn." She looked down at her hands, i saw the shame and guilt cross her face. When she met my eyes tears were rolling down her face again.

"You and William are the only people who know Ella, you can't tell a soul."

"Why you're fifteenth birthday?"

"It happened four days before my birthday, I was holed up in my room, I didn't leave my bed, I did't eat. Ella, my dad had to breakdown my door, i was starving myself to death. Someone grabbed me and i freaked out, when they put me down i ran into the forest. I stayed there for hours contemplating my life, and I decided i didn't want to give him that power over me, so i trained and i became the badass I am now. "

"Wow."

"Wow what?" Oliver said when he came back in. He handed me the water and i thanked him and drank it.

"Finn, can beat a werewolf in a fight, even though she is human." Ella said, "I honestly thought you and the guy the other day rigged the match, but damn." She giggled. Oliver smiled when her heard her giggle.

Ira, should we train her?

(Yes we should.)

Can i tell her about you

(You can tell her about us at training tomorrow.)

That sounds perfect

(Alright ask, you have been silent for too long.)

"So what do you say Ella? do you wanna train with me starting tomorrow?" She looked at me shocked I was asking, then she smiled.

"I would love to Finn."

"Perfect, well I have to go home, training starts after classes, I'll meet you here then take you to the spot in the woods I train at.You should also train with the rouges."

"Okay, goodnight Finn, and thank you for bringing me home."

"Don't thank me for that Ella, I shouldn't have had to." With that i got up and left bringing the empty cup with me and leaving it in their sink. I walked out the door, but before I got off the lawn i heard someone calling my name.

"Finn!" It was Oliver, I turned back to face him.

"What's up?"

"Thank you, for offering to train her. You're alright for a pack human."

"Don't thank me, i think its a stupid rule that woman shouldn't train, If anything we need it more than men. I'm being a descent human."

"I know you are, which is rare, for all species." He flashed me a smile

"Well I gotta go, maybe I'll see you tomorrow." With that i waved then, turned and left, when i was far enough away i shifted and ran home. 

...............A week Later....................

Ella and I have been training everyday after classes, I told her they didn't know about Ira and we had to keep it that way. She finally made it back to school after a few days, Mark did too, but he was missing a limb. Alpha has delayed Chris taking the mantel of Alpha until graduation, he also had guards everywhere around the school. Everyday at lunch Ella, William and I would bring the warriors snacks and sandwiches, my dad has approved of our friendship, and insists they come over for dinner on my birthday day. 

Ella and her wolf Delilah have made a lot of progress, Ira is also happy to finally have another wolf friend. Oliver had to leave for work, so with dad and moms permission i have been staying with Ella. I told them she was threatened and she was afraid to stay alone. In two days I turn eighteen and i can finally set my plan to kill Chris into motion.
