Chapter 25


    "I don''t hate him; I''m just scared of him, or more urately, I''m scared of what he''ll do and who he''ll


    hurt to keep me with him," I tried to exin, gaining more control over my body by the second.


    "He''s been searching for you his whole life, you know. Taylor and I found each other the moment we


    shifted and were able to detect our mate. Elias, being an Alpha, was starting to lose hope that he even


    had a mate, or that you were even alive. He''s 27 years old. Normally, if one of us doesn''t find their


    mate by 25, especially an Alpha, they pick a stand-in mate. They choose someone to be with to keep


    from going mad from loneliness," Minnie exin. That had me curious.


    "Elias didn''t choose a stand-in?" I asked a little hopefully. Minnie hesitated, which gave me my answer.


    "He did, actually. Her name is Kendra. You''ve probably even seen her a few times. You have to


    understand, as an Alpha; Elias had more pressure on him to have a mate. He needed a Luna. He


    chose her. She''s headstrong and beautiful, but then again, so are you. But at the end of the day, you''re


    his mate. He loves you," she tried to reassure me. I tried to push down the feeling of jealousy bubbling


    up, but it was too strong. I felt angry. I saw dots swimming in my vision before everything went ck.

    I barely remember those two weeks. All I remember was the unbearable heat, ice baths, and Minnie


    trying to force-feed me. I was probably permanently winkled from all the ice baths. Finally, it ended. The


    heat was gone.


    I woke feeling sore and groggy. All I could remember was the burn coursing through my veins.


    "There you are. Feeling better?" Minnie asked me. I groaned and nodded as I held my head. I was


    probably dehydrated. I had a pounding headache. Minnie must have been thinking the same thing


    because she handed me a bottle of water. I gratefully chugged it.


    "Where are we?" I asked confused. It urred to me that I didn''t actually know where we were.


    "Far away from the house on the boarder of the pack''snd," she answered. "If you''re ready, the car is


    packed up," she offered. I nodded and stood slowly. I noticed I was sore and exhausted. My whole


    body felt like I’d just run a marathon. She helped me to the car before we drove away. My fuzzy brain


    didn''t remember it taking so long to get to the cabin, but it was a good two-hour drive back to the


    house. I walked in feeling tired and drained. I knew I didn''t owe him anything but I felt like I needed to


    see Elias. At first, I ignored them, then my body acted on its own. I was confused myself. I pushed


    open the door to his office without knocking and froze. Elias was kissing on some girl''s neck. She


    giggled in hisp. When I walked in, they both froze.
