You shoot Alex
She went back home feeling so worried and down. She wanted to call Maya, but she couldn’t. She couldn’t afford to go back into Alex’s life. If she truly had started having feelings for him, she wanted them to stop and disappear.
She knocked on the door, but stopped knocking when she saw that the door was slightly opened. “Mom. Mom, where are you?” She walked into the sitting room and switched on the light, but gasped in fear at what she saw.
“Sam?! What… are you doing here? How did you find me here?” She asked. She was surprised to see him sitting in the dark living room with his legs crossed.
Sam smiled before standing up. “What type of question is that? Have you forgotten I know you live here?” He took a step forward, but Ellie felt creepy. She remembered that she had once told him that she wouldn’t live in her house again and that she lives and works with Alex Warren. How and why he came to her house was something she did not understand.
“But I told you I wouldn’t live here again,” Ellie said.
“It looks like that’s a lie,” he replied with a smile. Ellie kept walking back as he was coming closer to her. “Where are you coming from?” He suddenly stopped and asked.
Ellie looked at him with disbelief. “Where am I coming? Why would you be asking me that type of question?” Ellie asked back instead of answering him. She found his questions and behavior weird; even how he was looking at her was weird. “I think you should go home now; I’m pretty busy.” She said, only to find him smirking.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
“You went to check on him, right? But it was unlucky; you didn’t even get to see him,” he said, shaking his head in pity.
Ellie froze in shock. “How did you know? Were you monitoring me?” She wanted to doubt it was Sam with the way he was talking.
“Is that even what matters now?” He asked, going back to where he was sitting before. “It’s a pity he’s still alive. How could I have missed such a target?” He looked up to Ellie and smiled. “You know what? I targeted his heart.
She waited for some minutes to digest his words. Sweat ran out of her forehead. Her heart started beating faster. “What… did you say? You shot Alex?” She asked, but she did not get any reply.
He was just smiling on the couch. She suddenly dashed towards him and pulled him away by grabbing his shirt. “What nonsense are you telling me? How dare you! How dare you hurt him?! What did he do to you?! She screamed at him, but Sam just kept smiling.
She did not know when she suddenly raised her hand and slapped him.
“Calm down. I wouldn’t want to anger the great white wolf.”
She removed her hand from his shirt slowly. “White… wolf? Where did you hear that from?”
“Seeing you act like this because of him is so surprising. Have you forgotten he’s responsible for your parent’s death?”
Ellie was still surprised at how he knew all this information, but she did not think before saying, “He knows nothing about it.”
“He knows nothing about it.” Sam scoffed. “How can you even say that? Those people are something worse than evil. What do we do to them? Tell me, Ellie. They treat us as nothing but sin. They don’t even want us because they think we’re forbidden,” Sam screamed.
Ellie knew that he was not who she thought he was. “Who are you? You’re not human.”
“Yes, you’re right. I’m not human; I’m just like you, Ellie.” As soon as he said those words, his eyeballs changed to blue. “You must be wondering how. But it’s all true. The people you know as my parents are not my real parents. I was adopted; technically, I was saved.” He smiled with pain.
Ellie could not say a word; she hadn’t recovered from her shock when Sam started talking again. “My parents were also innocent, like your parents. They did nothing wrong, but because of a stupid rule from the bluemoon pack. They were killed. And you tell me Alex knows nothing about it.”
Ellie remembered that her mom had told her that it was Alex’s pack that brought up the rule, and the remaining pack all agreed to it. But how Sam is a half-wolf is something she still doesn’t understand.
“At a very young age, I witnessed my parents die in front of my eyes. And since then, I have made a promise to take revenge. Not until I realized my young next-door neighbor was the fated mate of the next alpha of the bluemoon pack.”
“So you approached me and made friends because of that?” She asked. She knew he was in pain, but she was angry that he did that to her.
“Yes,” she heard him reply. She had always loved him, and she thought that he would also love her back one day. She was even happy when he told her she liked him, but hearing all this from him suddenly created a big gap between them.
Sam had been monitoring her ever since he knew she was Alex’s fated mate. He even searched for her parents, and he knew she was half human for a long time. “Even though we’re the same, It still doesn’t change the fact that you’re lucky. At least you have white wolf blood in you. I’m just a weak wolf whose eyes can only change,” Sam said.
He had been planning to use Ellie against Alex ever since he knew they’d known each other, and now was the perfect time. He removed a bottle from his pocket and dropped it on the table. “Take this revenge for your parents and every other dead half-human they’ve killed. Do this to give yourself peace, Ellie.” He said before walking out of the room.
Ellie could not move from where she was. She sniffed as she remembered how her parents had died. Even though she doesn’t know who killed her parents, she couldn’t deny the fact that someone from the Bluemoon Pack knows about it.
She gulped her spit before walking towards the table; she knew that the bottle contained poison. She picked up the dark bottle and quickly put it inside her pocket when she heard the sound of the door.
“Ellie. Where is Sam?” Louise asked as she dropped the bags on the table.
“Where did you go?” Ellie asked instead of answering her mother’s question.
“I went to the market to get something.” She said, She noticed how dull she looked. “Are you okay?”
“I’m fine,” Ellie replied, before going into her room.
