Chapter thirteen – Ellie
Paul started pushing Marcus into the forest and told me to go inside. I was about to close the door when I saw Marcus turn into a big grey wolf. I sighed. This was not good.
I waited hours for Paul to come back but he didn't. I wasn't worried, Paul was a big boy he could take care of himself. I was more worried about Marcus. He didn't believe in the legends and now he is turning into a wolf.
I sat in the living room waiting for Paul or someone to come back and tell me Marcus was alright.
After another ten minutes of waiting, I walked out. I locked the door and walked into the forest. I couldn't see or hear anything. I sighed and walked to Emily's house. That's where the pack seemed to go. Maybe it was because of the food Emily cooked – they were so good – that kind of made sense why Emily cooked all that food.
I stopped outside the house and knocked on the door. I waited until – finally – Sam answered. He looked at me with a questioning look, I barged past him, which was really hard, and walked into the kitchen.
I saw Paul sitting at the kitchen table, laughing with everyone including Marcus. I walked over to Paul and slapped him. But I probably hurt myself more. My pain felt like my whole went numb.
I let out a scream and turned to glare at Paul. "You are an idiot!" I screamed. My hand was hurting so much. I was cradling my hand to my chest. The tears fell out of my eye. "You could of came back and told me Marcus was alright! I was worried sick!" I turned to look at Marcus. "And you could of came and told me you were fine! I was left at home on my own, thinking the worst!" I yelled.
Emily came into the kitchen and looked at everyone. "What is all the shouting about? It woke up Ashleigh." she said.
I turned to look at her. "Who in the freaking world is Ashleigh?" I shouted.
I heard Sam growl but Paul growled at him. Just then Brady walked in and looked at the scene ahead of him. He looked at me and smiled, but then noticed my hand which was still in a lot of pain. He rushed over to me. "What happened?" he asked.
I felt kind of calm with him there, but I knew it was just the imprint. "I slapped Paul." I mumbled.
"Why?" Brady asked.
"Because he is the biggest IDIOT!" I said.
"Ellie, calm down." Emily said.
I breathed in and out, trying to calm myself down. But I couldn't help it; my hand was in so much pain.
Just then a young girl walked over to Emily. Her brown hair was in a ponytail and she rubbed her big brown eyes. "Em, what's going on?" she asked.
"Don't worry." Emily said, resting her hand on the girls shoulder. "Ellie this is Ashleigh."
I nodded. The girl looked too sweet. Marcus looked at Ashleigh and his eyes filled with love.
Did he…? On a child?
I looked at Brady and he nodded.
Gross! He imprinted on a child. His soul mate was a child.
Brady grabbed my hand and examined it. "It's just bruised." he said, kissing it.
I felt my face go red and pulled my hand back. "I'll put it in a bandage." Emily said.
She grabbed a bandage and wrapped it around my hand. "Come on Ellie, lets go home." Paul said.
I turned and glared at him. "Are you sure you want to come home? Or am I going to have to go home on my own?" I snapped.
He rolled his eyes. "Your attitude is getting tiring now."
"I don't care. Are you going to answer me?" I asked.
"I am sure I want to go home." he sighed.
"Wow, that's a first." I snarled.
"What's wrong with you?" Paul growled.
I rolled my eyes. "Marcus, next time let me know whether you are okay or not!" I said before walking out.
"I'll see you later Rach." he said.
I could hear Paul's footsteps behind me. "Why didn't you come back?" I asked.
"Why should I? I am an adult, I can look after myself." he snapped.
I stopped. The tears fell out of my eyes. "Because we never have time for each other now. And I miss you." I mumbled.
Paul turned to look at me. "Coco, I'm busy and so are you. How about we spend Saturday together. Just you and I."
I smiled at him and nodded.
This was perfect. No Cain.
