Chapter 173 173
But the elders finally agreed with us.
As for Eric he is awaiting he execution that will be in two days. I thought mother would be upset but when we talked to her she agreed with us. Titan and Valen would carry out the order I could not bring myself to do it.
Titan had finally demanded a tour of the human population in dungeon two. We had well over a hundred human locked up who had stumbled into our territory we could not risk them telling others where we were. Titan had gone back to the cottage saying he had a headache. I went and knocked on Ella's door.
"Who is it?" She asked.
"It's me Calvin, love," I said. I heard the door unlock. For the past month she pretty much stayed in her room unless she was with Celestia, Raven or me.
"Are you coming in or just going to stand there?" Ella asked. I went in and she relocked the door.
"Ella, what are you afraid of?" I asked her.
"I don't know, maybe someone coming in here and kidnapping me again.!" She said sarcastically.
"Ella, we have been over this a hundred times, no one is going to come and take you." I tried to reassure her, but she would not listen.
"Calvin, until Eric is dead and burned, He could get out. He could convince a guard to help him. He will run but he will take me or kill me to make you suffer." She said almost in tears. I wrapped my arms around her.
"I came to see if you wanted to go to the waterfall for a picnic?" I asked her.
"I don't know?" Ella said conflicted.
"We can go swimming if you want the place I want to take you I never got to show you last time. The water is so warm and soothing." I told her.
"Who else is coming?" She asked.
"Who ever you want to come," I told her.
"I want Lilly and Celestia to come but I want to be alone with you too just to talk. She quickly added. I chuckled.
"You need to decide, my love" I said.
"Why does your sister not like me?" She asked.
"Why do you think she does not like you?" I asked.
"I have asked her to do stuff just the two of us and she said she is always busy. But then I see here ten minutes later go to coffee with someone else. So in answer to your question, I guess It will just be you and me because Celestia is hanging out with her other friends." Ella said. Then sat down on her bed.
I did not know how to handle this teenage girl stuff. I linked my mother.
"Mother, Ella is having some real issues that I have no idea how to deal with them." I told her in our link
"Are you with her now?" She asked. I explained everything to her. She said she was coming and closed the link. I sat down in one of the chairs.
"Mother is coming to chat with you Ella. I will stay until she gets here, I have been asked to go see Titan." I told her. I know it was a lie but I was going to go and talk to Titan about how to deal with this. Maybe even Raven may have some words of advise for me.
"What about going swimming?" Ella asked.
"We will go after I finish with Titan I promise." I said. Mother knocked on the door and I got up and let her in.
"Calvin you go talk to Titan while I have a chat with my daughter-in- law her." Mother said. I kissed Ella on the forehead and left.
I made my way down to Titan's cabin he and Raven were sitting outside on the porch, Titan already had a beer cracked for me.
"Thanks," I said then sat on the step with my head down not saying anything.
"I remember being that age but I had grown up a lot faster I had already been a rouge for a year. But I do remember how I felt about Clare and how I felt she turned her back on me. Right now, she has just gone through a lot. She was almost killed, then she was kidnapped. Celestia is being a normal teen making friends. If Ella will not come out of her room is Celestia suppose not go on with her life. As for Lilly, she is very busy she is trying hard to prove to you she can be a good Beta. But Ella see's it as rejection." Raven told me.
"How do you know all this?" I asked her.
"While you were getting your mother to talk to Ella, Ella linked me the whole story." Raven said.
"Honesty I don't know how to deal with it." I said.
"You don't you did exactly what you should have done, Calvin. She is going to get her wolf before she is eighteen. If I'm right she will get her first heat right after. You need to prepare yourself for that," Raven said.
"How do you know?" I asked her.
"I just do Calvin and you best be wise to listen to me. Ask Titan if I have ever been wrong." She said. I looked at Titan; I did not need to ask he expression said it all.
"You know Calvin I think she will feel safer after I have executed Eric for his crimes then she will know he us not coming back to get her." Titan told me.
"I agree with you on that. I hope she stops locking herself away in that room. Maybe I should send her back to live with her parents." I said.
"You should talk to Ella about that Calvin. She might take it as your rejecting her now that she has accepted you are mates " Raven said.
"I'm dammed if I do and dammed if I don't, maybe Eric was right maybe she is to young for me." I said. The next thing I know I'm flat on my face on the ground with Titan standing over me.
"You want to say that again Calvin?" Titan asked. I was pissed at him. I stood up and got in his face.
"Eric was right, she is to young and immature to be my mate." I said. Titan punched me in the face and broke my nose.
"Want to try again?" He said.
"Fuck Titan you broke my nose." I yelled. His bodyguards stood there snickering.
"The Goddess gave you Ella as your mate for a reason, Calvin you dare try and reject her and I will Alpha Challenge you on the spot. " Titan said.
"It is my choice not yours." I told him. I was not going to reject her but where did he get off coming at me like that.
