His mate the lycan

Chapter 9: Meeting the beta

Elisabeth POV:

The next week I have dinner with Hanna and David every night. Hanna introduced me to playing video games and how to play them. I am hooked, it's so fun and addictive you forget the time easily. So I set an alarm to not forget the time. When I am not gaming I watch movies or rest in my bed. I try to regain some energy and gain some weight. Eating is slowly improving the small portions they serve. I managed to eat all of it. It feels great that I am improving. During dinner time I often sit next to Hanna. When I didn't sit next to David I saw several times a sliver of hurt flash through his eyes. It lasts a second or two and then it's gone. We make a lot of small talk. I know they are taking it slow and I appreciate it. I came to know them little by little. But during the day I wonder why he is hurting. Does he want me badly to sit next to him? Or is it something else? No Lis you need to let it go. I can't attach myself to them how badly I want to. Then leaving is very hard and I want to leave. To seek the silver moon pack and see if there is something left. I don't want to tell them what happened to me. I don't want to relive it. I feel the tears well up in my eyes. I don't want to cry, I want to be strong. I sighted and wiped my tears away. I go down stairs for lunch. I got to the kitchen and found my lunch in the refrigerator. The cooking lady leaves my breakfast and lunch there every time. I go to the living room to eat. I like the fireplace in that room. It's so cozy and can brighten my day. I set up a small fire and began to eat my lunch. Then David walks in "hi Lizzy '' he said. Lizzy is his nickname for me. I don't mind at all because my adoptive parents called me like that. Maybe it sounds strange. It makes me feel safe and secure like I belong here if he calls me Lizzy. "Hi David, what are you doing here? Don't you have work to do?" I ask him. He is always busy with his work for the pack. "I take a break, it's a lot. Sometimes I need a break from all of it. And I actually wanted to talk to you. You are here for four weeks now and I wonder if you are ready to meet someone else? I promise he is a good guy. He is my beta and I want you to meet him" he said. I think for five minutes and absent mindedly eat a piece of bread. Am I ready to meet some new people? Can I trust them? Of course you can trust them. If not David would not introduce him first, Sterre said. It is not that you marry that guy on your first meeting. Maybe on your second meeting she said. I rolled my eyes at her and laughed a bit. She is right and he trusts him so why not. I am ready to meet some new people anyway. "Okay I will meet him. When will I meet your beta?" I ask after some time. He sighed relieved "Thank you Lizzy you will meet him tomorrow. If that is okay with you." I nod at him and he goes further " I have a meeting and then I will find you and introduce you two. Beta Liam is excited to finally meet you". I just shrug at him and go further with my lunch. He stays and is just on his phone. After my lunch I go and rest. I am very tired although I haven't done much. Unfortunately I am still recovering otherwise I would have been running in the woods a long time ago. I miss the wood and want to run in it. My wolf agreed with me. When I am better I will go for a run everyday I promise.

Then the next day I woke up nervously. I hope he really likes me. But it also complicated things. Don't worry Liz and don't overthink things. You will see how it goes and you can always leave. They don't own you, remember that and you can trust them Sterre said. After breakfast I go to the entertainment room and play some games. Middle in my game David walks in the room. I pause my game and focus on him. " Hi Elisabeth I thought I could find you here. Hanna, have you hooked on gaming" he laughed. I smiled at him "jes she has and I don't mind I like gaming". Then I noticed a guy behind him. He has brown hair and brown eyes. I think he is 6ft tall and he looks buff. "Elisabeth, this is my best friend and beta Liam. Liam this is Elisabeth'' he introduced us together. Liam reached out his hand and I took it. "Nice to meet you Elisabeth" Liam said to me. "Nice to meet you too Liam". "What are you playing?" He asked. "I play a racing game. It's very fun to play. I play lots of different games. If you have any suggestions on what I must try let me know." I said to him with a smile. "I will let you know when I think of one," Liam said. "Can we join you in your game?" David asked me. "Jess of course here have the other controller, '' I said. We played the whole afternoon. David got us some lunch, snacks and some drinks. It was very fun and I came to know Liam. I didn't know that David could be this relaxed and fun. During my time here he was tense and cautious. Like he needed to be careful around me. Liam on the other hand is very fun and relaxed. He is funny and kind of handsome. But he is not my type. I think he would make a great friend. I think he is trustworthy. In the next few days I became friends with Hanna, Liam and even David. We had so much fun. I was relaxed and I knew that nothing was gonna happen to me. I was safe here and that feels great. I told you, you can trust them, my wolf Sterre said in my head. I rolled my eyes at her. I know you are right and I am wrong, I admitted to her. But I still had my doubts and wanted to leave to seek the silver moon pack. That night I had a nightmare. I was in the village and all was happy and peaceful. Then the rouges invaded the village. They chased me into the woods. Then they catched me. My nightmare jumped to a house where I was a captive. All the beatings and psychological abuse I had to overcome I relived it in that dream. I woke up screaming and breathed havely. I cried as the door swung open and I saw David standing there. He walked to me and he hugged me immediately. "Ssshh it's okay you are safe" he repeatedly said to me. After half an hour I was still crying but I was calmer than before. He said nothing and just held me. That was exactly what was needed. It was nice and comforting. "What was your nightmare about? If you don't want to tell me that is okay. It's up to you princess" he said. I trusted him, it was a strange feeling but I trusted him. So I told him about my nightmare. When he left I just layed in bed. He was so nice to us. Jes Star but I have a feeling that I need to leave before it's too late. I want to go alone and if I don't leave now I won't do it. So tomorrow we leave to seek the silver moon pack. I know you don't want to leave me either but I have to do it. If we are stopped then it's a sign and I won't do it again. If not we go there and see for ourselves what happened. Maybe we will return to this pack but I am not sure. I don't want to reveal my secrets. What happened at the dark moon and my past at the silver moon pack. I am not ready yet. Sterre just sighed and nodded her head in understanding. Okay I am with you but for the clearance I hope we are stopped and I want to tell them everything
