Chapter 69
I fell asleep so easily that night surrounded by my mates' scent. It was soothing and something that I could definitely get used to. It wasn't something that I was used to. Even though our relationship had progressed so much, this was something completely different. Even just being wrapped up in their arms felt different than before. It felt better than before. And I didn't know that was even possible.
When I woke up the next morning Alpha Robert, Luna Holly, Dean and Sienna were all there, outside of our room that David had obviously unlocked with his key and I was feeling a little weird right now with all of them outside looking in on us.
I was fully clothes and everything so I didn't have to worry about that, but I reached down to grab the blanket and I pulled it up to cover me but as soon as I moved the twins held onto me even tighter. I guess to stop me from leaving.
"Wake up." I whispered.
"I don't want to." Nathan mumbled.
"Everyone is here." I whispered.
"Who is everyone?" Tristan asked. And that's when they all walked into the room and the twins still didn't open their eyes. I honestly don't think they cared at all.
"I wanted to congratulate you on a successful shift last night, Ella." Dean said.
That got the twins attention and they both opened their eyes and sat up slightly. They were both looking at him like they wanted to punch him, but Dean didn't seem bothered by it.
And just then I saw Celie standing behind Dean.
"Celie." I said.
"Hello sweetheart." She said. And I wanted to lean forward to give her a hug but the twins wouldn't let go of me.
I knew they were overprotective when Dean was around because he always had an ulterior motive, but Celie wasn't like that.
"Guys. She's here because I shifted. I'm sure she needs something from me." I said.
"Well, yeah. I do need some blood samples." Celie said.
"She just shifted last night and it didn't go well. Now you want to stick her full of needles?" Tristan growled.
"Hey, don't growl at Celie. If you want to growl at someone, growl at Dean." I said.
"Hey." Dean said. But I just looked at him and shrugged my shoulders. I didn't care. He knew how I felt about him. I'd made that clear. But Celie had always been there for me. And I knew that this was going to happen.
They were all waiting for me to shift because they wanted to lift this damn curse. So it was my responsibility to give it to her.
"I can bring the stuff in here if you like so you don't have to go anywhere." Celie said.
"Yeah. So that." Tristan said. And Nathan laid back down, but he kept his arm tightly around my waist.
"They never were morning people." Luna Holly said. And I chuckled.
“Tell me about it. But we did have a really big night.” I said. And they nodded. Alpha Robert stood forward after that.
“Sara told us about the witch. You killed her." Alpha Robert said.
"Yes, sir." I said. And he smiled at me when I thought he was going to be mad that
I brought a witch here that almost killed us all.
"No one ever kills anything on their first shift. Let alone a person. You really are more than I thought you were." He said.
"Thank you sir." I said.
When Celie came back I had to move to the side of the bed so Tristan sat up leaning back against the bed and I was sitting right next to him while Celie started drawing blood from my arm.
I was sitting up near his headboard of the bed so he was able to rub my back while Celie was drawing the blood and he was watching everything she was doing.
"How much are you taking?" Tristan asked.
"I need to run a lot of tests." Celie said.
"I don't care. You don't need to take that much. You're gonna make her sick." Tristan said.
"It's alright Tristan. We knew this is what was going to happen." I said.
"What are you talking about?" Nathan asked.
"Well, this is why I'm here. I'm the white wolf. It's kind of my duty to do this, isn't it?" I asked.
"Get that fucking needle out of her arm now. You've got enough blood for now." Nathan demanded getting off his bed.
"What are you doing?" I asked. But Celie didn't argue. She took the needle out of my arm and I looked at Tristan who looked just as pissed as Nathan and Nathan kicked everyone out of the room and locked the door again.
He grabbed the chair that Celie was sitting on and he pulled it right up in front of
me.
I was looking at them both really confused.noveldrama
"Do you think that we're only with you so that you can break the curse?" Nathan asked.
"That's why you sought me out in the first place." I said.
"Yeah. That was back then when we just met. And you didn't know that you were
a wolf. But do you actually believe that now?" Nathan asked.
"No. I mean, I know that you guys want to be with me. But it's also my responsibility to help with the curse. I know that. I'm fine with it." I said.
"We're not. If you think that we just want you here because of the curse. If you think that we're using you to break the curse, then we're not doing it. We're not going to break the fucking curse." Tristan said. And I looked at him a little dumbfounded. I didn't know what to say to that.
"We love you Ella. We have never said that to anyone before. None of those little whores that we knew before we met you. We've never said it to anyone. But we said it to you. We've told you more than once that we love you. And that's never going to change. If you think you are being used at any time to break this curse, from our family, or from the Heartstone pack, then you are going to tell us and it ends. We'll put a stop to it. No one is using you for anything." Nathan insisted.
I had never heard Nathan talk so passionately about anything before. He was so determined that I didn't feel like I was being used because of who I was that he was willing to live with this curse just to spare my feelings. That is not something that I was expecting.
So I nodded my head and he leaned forward and kissed me, while Tristan had his arms around me from the side.
