Stronger by Ang Chris

Chapter 111

Ella POV:

The world can change so instantly. Sometimes we’re so sure of where we’re heading and the goddess places her finger into our lives turning everything upside down.

I never would have assumed that night that Grayson defending me from that man would have brought us here. He had done his duty as my alpha and I was grateful I was ready to lay down my life for his wife in repayment and now here

we are.

The pack was cold after the lunas kidnapping. We had already been shocked by the events but we didn’t have her spirit to take us upward. She hadn’t been here long but she’d made an impact and was now our heart. Without her the Alpha was obsessive and calculating. He didn’t stop and smile for the children training and he didn’t joke with his council anymore. The elder Luna was not her usual sly self instead she was quite and and composed.

We should be prosperous at a time like this a strong alpha and a resilient Luna had given us an heir. We should be celebrating day and night.

Sometimes it was hard not to blame myself. To not ask if I should have just let it happen so none of this would have occurred. Another woman stolen all because I caught a Sigma’s eye.

And then there are other times when my heart catches in my throat and I swear I’d let it all happen again to be near him.

That only leaves me feeling more guilty.

After everything I had no right to fawn over a man far above me and after the pain I caused on his family. It doesn’t matter if he feels the same and it doesn’t matter that she would tell me it wasn’t my fault.

Even though I feel my whole body relax around him I can’t cross that line. It wasn’t my place. I had a duty to my pack as a warrior, I had a duty to my Luna to help bring her home and in her stead help watch over the heir. I would not cause anymore problems no matter what.

“G–good morning,” his voice hit my ear and I spun hitting my back firmly against the wall. “Sorry,” he held his hands up. “I didn’t, I shouldn’t have snuck up on you like that,”

I smiled softly at his bumbling nature I didn’t know how an heir to such a noble pack became this way around me but

I had to admit I was just as bad as he was.

“It’s–I’m, that’s okay,” I chuckled my arms folding behind my back and I swung on my tip toes.

“I saw you sparring with Elizebeth yesterday you are a skilled warrior,” he complimented me his cheeks flushing.

“Your sister is to thank for that I rarely ever got vested before the Luna came and after I hardly ever ended a match standing,” i shrugged as I reminded him of his sister his eyes saddened.

“She’s unstoppable, I’m sure she hadn’t just given birth she’d have snapped him in two,” his features darkened further

and I held myself back from reaching out for him.
