Ethan's Point of View

I knew that Sofia felt terrible for lying to Ella. I did as well, but I knew it was for the best. After checking on my parents, I went back to Sof and my room. I was shocked when I saw Charity in the nursery. She was one of the pack members who babysat for some of the others with pups.

"Hello, King Ethan," Charity said

"Hello, Charity. Where is Sofia?" I asked

"Queen Sofia asked me to watch the pups for a while. She said that you would be back soon," Charity said

"Where did she go?" I asked

"I am not sure. She just asked me to sit with them until you came back," Charity said.

"Okay, you can go now," I said

"Okay, good night, King Ethan," Charity said

"Good night," I replied, and she left. I walked over to the nightstand, where a note sat. That started to make me worry. I picked it up and read it.

Ethan,

I know you are not going to like this, but I had to go with Ella. We were wrong for keeping everything from her.

"I love you and our babies."

"Fuck," I said out loud. I looked over at the pups to see that they were still fast asleep.

"Dad, Sof and Ella are gone," I said to my dad through mind link

"What do you mean?" My dad asked

"I think they went to the Vampire Kingdom to find Edward," I said

"Waht? No, this can't be happening. We have to bring them back," My dad said

"I know," I replied

"I will be there soon," My dad said, and we ended the mind link.

My phone started to ring, and I looked at it to see that Sof was calling me. "Sof, what is going on?" I asked

"You know what is going on. I can't keep lying to Ella. She has been dreaming about Edward. I had to tell her the truth. You know I never agreed with you about lying to her."

"So you decided to leave without saying anything?"

"Look, I know I should have told you, but I didn't want you and your parents to try and stop us from leaving. Ella was determined to go regardless, so even if you had stopped her last night, she would have found another way to leave. It's good that I came with her," Sof said, and I sighed. I knew Sof was right. Ella would have found a way to leave. No one would have been able to stop her.

"Where are you right now?"

"We are at a hotel in the human territory. We are a few hours away from the Vampire Kingdom and will be leaving in the morning. I was sure you had figured out where we were going. Don't try to stop us. Ella needs to do this," Sof said

"I won't stop her, but I am not going to let you go there on your own. Some of the werewolves still have a problem with werewolves and also because you are a hybrid," I said

"I know," Sof replied

"I am coming. Wait for me," I said

"Okay, but you better not try to stop Ella from seeing Edward," Sof said

"I won't. I will see you soon, Love," I said, and we ended the call.

"What do you mean, Ella and Sof are on their way to the Vampire Kingdom?" My dad asked. He showed up to my room about ten minutes after I had gotten off the phone with Sof, and I told him what Sof said.

"They are in a hotel for the night and are going to see Edward in the morning," I said

"We can't let that happen. She could become evil because of him," My dad said

"I know you are worried, but we can't interfere."

"What do you mean we can't interfere. That is my daughter," My dad said

"Ella is old enough to make her own decisions, Dad," I said

"I don't care how old she is. She is my daughter, and I am going to protect her from anyone. Even her mate," My dad said, and he started walking

"Where are you going?" I asked

"To see Edward," My dad replied, and I sighed

"I am coming too."

Ella's Point of View

I was so happy when we got out of the old hotel. I was never staying in a place like that again. Sof and I went to get breakfast, and all I could think about was King Edward. I wondered if he was going to be upset that I was there.

"What are you thinking about?" Sof asked

"What if King Edward did this because he didn't want me?"

"Ella, trust me, he wants you. He thinks he is protecting you by staying away," Sof said, but I still had my doubts.

After breakfast, we continued our journey to the Vampire Kingdom. I couldn't stop worrying that King Edward woudl be upset that I had come. Either way, I was going to give him a piece of my mind. I was going to find out the truth today. It had taken all day for us to get to the vampire kingdom. "You know you could have teleported into the kingdom," I told her

"I know, but I thought it would be good to give you some time to think. You know, just in case you changed your mind or something."

"We are almost there," Sof said. I could see a giant fence and men that I knew were vampires guarding the border.

"Hello, we are here," Sof started to say, but she was cut off

"Ella, Sofia, what are you doing here?" I turned around to see Ethan and my dad standing there

"Daddy."

"Don't daddy me, Ella. How could you leave without telling me?"

"You brought him here," Sof said angrily to Ethan

"I couldn't stop him from coming," Ethan replied

"Come on. We are going home," My dad said

"No, I am not going," I said

"You are going on your own, or I will drag you back," My dad said. He was about to grab my arm and move me behind them. This caused pleasurable sparks to go all throughout my body. Also, the most intoxicating smell came to me.

"Don't touch her." The most intoxicating smell came to
