The Half Blood Luna 26
Ella’s POV Joseph and I hang out in my room for almost an hour. We speak about trivial things, and I feel like he is walking on eggshells around me. Trying not to talk about anything that would bring up my abuse or my father. “Beta, you don’t have to hang out with me the whole time. You must have a ton of work to do” I said shyly. “Actually, I really don’t have anything to do, believe it or not. Klaus has more than one beta, although I’d like to think of myself as the head beta. So I delegate my work to them. I’ve been working my ass off for the past seventeen years, it’s their turn now” he said before giving me a wink. “You have been a beta for seventeen years? So you are not just alpha Klaus’s beta?” I ask in curiosity. “No, I was alpha Matthew’s beta as well. I took over the beta position after my father; who was his beta, died of a heart attack” “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to ask you such private questions” “Ok we need to set a ground rule between us” he said seriously. His s

Klaus’s POV“So that’s everything that happened at the new pack, I am sure Joseph gave you the full version already. Particularly the part where I was a complete asshole to Ella from the moment I saw her in the woods that first night” I said to my mother in law Sara.She gave me a disapproving look that I am too familiar with. Sara practically raised me after my mom passed away when I was 5 years old. She has been a wonderful mother to me. She was very passionate and kind towards me. She never made me feel the loss of my birth mother.“Well, I am sure Joseph said everything that needed to be said, probably even more. But I find myself unable to understand how you could do all those things to that innocent girl Klaus. Regardless of what has been done to her before you took over the pack, that punishment should have never happened in the first place. And the alpha commands! That was down right sadistic. What the hell has gotten into y

Klaus’s POV“Klaus, have you been listening to me for the past ten minutes or have I been talking to myself?” Joseph waves his hand in front of my face, pulling me out of my recently constant distraction, Ella.She has been occupying a big part of my mind for quite sometime now; ever since the first time I saw her, and I can’t seem to stop thinking about her. She was the first person to have that effect on me after Kate. And that was freaking the shit out of me. I didn’t want to end up having feelings for her. Falling for another woman after my mate was out of the question for me. You only get one true mate in your lifetime. One true love. If that person is gone, a part of you will go with her and nothing will ever be able to replace that part.Yet, where the hell did the part of me that kept thinking about Ella come from? Was it just guilt that brought that part on or was it something else?I sighed in frustration, ran my ha
The Half Blood Luna 29
Ella’s POV The first thing I felt was warmth. Warmth seeped into my whole body covering me from the inside out. It wasn’t the usual warmth that comes from being covered with a blanket. It was a warmth that promised safety and protection. My eyes were still closed, so I didn’t know the source of that amazing feeling that I have never felt before. But I didn’t want it to go away, even if it was just a dream. I kept my eyes closed and focused on my surroundings. Half my body was laying on top of someone as I felt my head rise and fall as if it was laying on someone’s chest. A hand was gently stroking my hair. My left hand was clutching a piece of fabric very tightly. For a second, I remembered the same kind of warmth I felt when Joseph touched my hand at the hospital. However, the feminine perfume I smelled right now confirmed that it wasn’t Joseph I was holding onto so tightly. It was a woman. But who was it? I had no idea. It was probably just a dream. I was never held like this befo

Ella’s POV “Ella look…” Sara started to speak, but I couldn’t let her finish. This one, she cannot convince me to accept, no matter what she says. “Even if he was the last person available to train me, it’s still gonna be a no, I’d rather give up training altogether than accept his help” I said barely controlling my anger. “Ella, he regrets everything he did and said to you, he just wants your forgiveness in anyway you can give it. I know you have your doubts about him and I can’t say that you are not right to think that way, he gave you every reason to. But, he is also the son I raised for the past twenty years after losing his mother at the age of five, and that makes me able to tell when he deeply regrets something. I am telling you the truth, please believe me” said Sara carefully. He regretted nothing. It was all a trick. How could they not see that? The fact that she raised him surprised me a little, but it didn’t convince me entirely, mothers c

Ella’s POVI was biting my nails hard as I dreaded the meeting I had with Joseph and alpha Klaus at three. My lunch sat at my dining table untouched as I did not have the appetite to eat.I watched the clock get closer to three and felt myself getting closer to a massive panic attack. I kept trying to breath in and out like Sara taught me to do whenever I felt myself losing my grip on my feelings. It wasn’t working very well. I kept trying to convince myself that I had nothing to be panicked about. It was just a meeting, and Joseph is going to be there with me the whole time. That wasn’t working very well either.A sudden sharp pain pulled me out of my anxiety attack. One of the nails I was biting so hard into was bleeding and throbbing in pain.“Dammit. Get it together Ella” I whispered to myself angrily.I got up from the sofa and went to the bathroom to splash some cold water on my face. I dried my face then pulled

Ella’s POV Joseph took one look at us; me pinned against the wall, shaking, breathing hard and trapped by alpha Klaus whose anger could be felt from a mile away, and was standing next to me in an instant. “Klaus, let her go” ordered Joseph warily. I was trapped in his eyes, I couldn’t look away from them. The hurt I saw in them made me feel guilty for saying what I said. I wasn’t expecting him to be affected that much by it. Comparing him to alpha Grey and telling him that he was worse than him was wrong. Alpha Grey was still the worst person on the planet earth. But, I wanted to hurt him so much that I had no control over what came out of my mouth. I felt like I needed to apologize to him, for the last part at least. But I couldn’t open my mouth. He kept staring at me for a few seconds before turning around and going back to where he was standing before, near the window. He gave us his back, but I could still see how tense he was from his rigid form. “Are you ok, Ella?” asked Jos

Klaus’s POV “Is there something else we need to talk about? I need to go punch the shit out of something” I said in irritation to Joseph after Ella left us alone in his office. My blood was still boiling from everything Ella said to me before Joseph entered the office. For someone who is scared shitless at the sight of me, she sure had a hell of a lot of nerves to speak that boldly to me without fearing the consequences. While I saw the fear in her eyes when I pinned her against the wall, the anger in them was far greater. I would never let anyone speak to me the way she just spoke to me without punishing them severely. No one even dares to speak to me in that way. Hell, I wanted to punish her so badly but barely held myself. Reminding myself that she has been through hell. Also, most of what she said was completely true and I deserved most of it. But for her to say I was worse than that bastard Grey tipped me off the edge. I wanted to show her just how diffe
