Chapter 47: A plan

My body felt so stressed about how my day had kept going. It just keeps getting worse and worse. Gladly a hot shower with the water running and beating down my back always did it for me. I felt like it was the only good thing that was happening within my life now.

I reach for a towel and wrap it around my body drying myself. I headed into my room and got dressed in a simple grey, shorts and a large black blouse.

After I was through, I lay down on my bed, there wasn't anything else to do anyway.

I grab my pillow and cover my head quickly hating how dinner was between me and mom. It was very quiet, too quiet. My mom found out from Dr. Charles about my time at work with the alpha will be ending soon, which means we will have to get back home soon. She wasn't happy about it, not at all, for she knows that she will have to leave Dr. Charles. She didn't want that.

As much as I didn't want her to know about meeting the alpha's evil father, I had to tell her during dinner for her to see why we had to leave. She was surprised yes but not how I had expected her to be.

The alpha's father doesn't know how you look, he only knows me, just keep on doing what you're doing, she said. I was surprised at what she said. It was not what I expected to hear from her knowing that bastard kill her mate, my father.

I expected her to be filled with fear hearing me talk about seeing the bastard and her wanting us to leave immediately, but no., her love for Dr. Charles had seems to block away all of that. All she had on her brain was wanting to stay with him.

I hated it and wasn't satisfied with our conversation during dinner. I wanted to get down deep into the conversation and bring up a hurtful past for her to remember how terrible alpha Eric is and that us staying here was not safe at all.

"Knock, knock," I heard a gentle knock on my door.

I push away the large pillow from my face and sat up knowing who it was.

"Come in," I told my mom.

The door slowly opens, and she enters. She walks over to my bed and sat beside me. We both turn our back to the door.

"I'm sorry if I upset you at dinner today in any way," my mom sadly apologizes to me. "If we have to leave, I'm happy to follow you."

Hearing what my mom said really saddens me. I know deep down she didn't want to come with me. She wanted to stay here with Dr. Charles.

"Mom, you don't have to apologize," I told her as I turn towards her. "It's okay."

My mom nodded sadly. Soon there was silence, there was nothing I could say else to her. I wanted to tell her that she didn't have to come with me, but I know she will come along with me once I'm leaving. Also, I too will have no choice but to leave, that's another agreement I had to make with the alpha. Once he as his ways with me I must leave his land.

"I wish things could have been better for us staying here," I told my mom.

"It can be," my mom answers me. "Why return to the forest when you can stay here?" my mom inquires me.

I lower my head sadly by my mom's idea knowing that it wasn't my choice at all.

If I do decide not to sleep with the alpha, he won't allow me to leave his side and if I do, I will have to leave so anyways you put it making any decision was not good for me.

"Mom I don't like being in the same land knowing that the alpha is my mate," I told her sadly, concealing the truth.

"You can, if you put your mind to it," my mom answers me. "Also, there are plenty of young men here for you to forget him, he as his life with another she-wolf, so you should too."

I gently place my hands over my face, not knowing what to say else to my mom. I was becoming frustrated, for whatever she was saying to me wasn't easy as how she thought it was.

"Elena," I heard Dr. Charles calling my mom.

"Think about choosing in staying here, for the evil alpha doesn't know that you're still alive," my mom told me.

I didn't answer.

"I hope I can know your decision by tomorrow," she again told me as she gently touches me onto my shoulder and went off, closing my bedroom door behind her.

As she did, I fell backward onto my back. I grab the pillow placing it on to face and scream hard.

I was in a tight spot now. I now had two decisions. One I had no choice and the other I didn't want to disappoint my mom, honestly, I didn't.

Suddenly a thought came to mind, and I quickly pull the pillow from my face.

What if I agree not to sleep with alpha since my mom doesn't want us to leave another.

"No," I said softly not happy with that thought. Bad thoughts came to mind as I did, about what if the alpha decides to start hurting me again and two while continuing to work with him, I will be seeing his evil father around which I didn't want.

"Ha...., what I'm I do to?" I said frustratingly.

I sat up immediately as another thought came to mind which seems much better.

"Yes," I said out loud and jumps backward back to the bed. It was a great thought. A plan to allow the alpha to let me stay within his land if I allow him to sleep with me, with that he still will be getting what we want, he and my mom, and I won't be seeing his father at his office anymore, for I won't be working there.

I smile at those thoughts. Soon a bad feeling begins to rush over my entire body. I was now wondering if Mr. Bates will agree to.

"I hope he does?" I said softly as I roll onto my side and curl up going off to sleep.

Tomorrow was going to be another hectic day for me.
