Chapter 30

Selena pov

When I got home yesterday booth Zoey and Jessie were already home, safe and sound.

I could relax a bit but now we have another problem. They have figured out I wasn't dead and found

me. How much they know I have no idea but since I felt the scent outside our land I know they have

been here and looked at the front where our warehouse is. None of our warriors have picked up

anything strange and we have to be extra cautious.

I can't have them find our pack.

I had to call my boss today and say I would be working from home. Saying I had a bad headache

and wouldn't be able to answer my phone. They could email me if they wanted to reach me. I will

have to come up with something. If they have found where I work, then I can't go back.

I am deep in my thoughts when Jessie comes walking into my office.

"1 have sent out some men to look for the king's people.” she says

" That's s good we need to know where they are all the time”

“What are you going to do about work?"

"1 don't know yet, I need to figure something out” I pinch the bridge of my nose, feeling frustrated

over this whole situation. Why do they have to come here and ruin everything good I have going

on?

It's clear I need to break the bond, then he would leave me alone.

"1 need to speak with Emma. Mindlink when they have any news" She nods and walk out the door. I

know where Emma is at this hour of the day and It would feel nice with a walk. I head out of my

office and make my way to our herbal garden, I like to go there, it's always peaceful.

I find her standing in the middle picking some herbs.

" knew I would find you here”

“Yes I am not hard to find,” she says with a chuckle.

“Let me guess you want to know If I have any suggestions on how you can get rid of your sexy

mate. But since he is obviously looking for you he might have a change of heart” she says

" Or he just wants to pester my life and lock me up in a room. Mark me so he gets stronger and

never let me out again” I sarcastically say

" And that would stop you?” she says and look at me.

" No but the bond would. If he marks me and does not accept my rejection the bond would make

me go into heat and I wouldn't be able to resist him forever. It wouldn't be me but the bond craving

him. I hate him for what he has done. I want to have a say in the one I will spend the rest of my life

with. ”

"1 hear you. And I know what he has done to you and your family. It wasn't right and you have all

the right to be mad at him. But maybe he has changed” she says and goes back to picking herbs.

"1 don't care if he has changed, I hate him for all the things he has done and I will never accept him

as my mate” she sighs. I hear what she is saying but there is no way I can ever forgive him for what

he has done to me. Losing my family, shifting alone, kicking me out of my home with nothing.

Tossing me without even giving me a chance and I had to survive out here.

Never in my life will I ever accept him as my mate.

" Alright I'll talk to Sari and see if she has any idea how to get rid of that bond”

" This is a mess, I can't go back to work when I don’t know if they have found out where I work and

there is no way I can work from home forever,” I say

" Let's hope Sari has an idea!"

I find the mindlink open up it's Jessie

" The kings me are in the woods where you run into, we have found out where they are staying and

we have a close watch on them”

" That's fine keep a tab on them and let me know what happens.” I close the mindlink.

" Any news?” Emma ask

" Yes they have found them, they are looking in the woods I ran into! Just what I hoped they would.

There is something I have been wanting to ask you for a long time

"1 have been wondering when the question would come! Let's go to the kitchen first and grab a cup

of coffee. I will be needing it for this conversation

* alright” 1 am used to her somehow knowing what I will ask before I ask the question and when she

wants to grab some coffee first I don't argue with her.

We head into the kitchen and make some coffee she brings out a cake from the refrigerator and

cuts some slices. We take the cake and the coffee and walk out to the patio. It s a beautiful day and

warm. We take a seat and enjoy the sun for a little while.

Just sitting there is silence before she starts the conversation

"let's hear your question,” she says.

" After everything that happened to you how come you can still think good of men?”

I know she was badly beaten and raped by numerous men before I found her and she was tossed

away from the man she loved because he found his mate leaving her pregnant and alone. Booth

Emma and her daughter Ella were traumatized by their experiences

Ella has a harder time trusting people and especially men. We are very careful with whoever we

introduce to her and when we built the school in our pack we had to keep the teachers only women

until there was one man she trusted and could relax with. Now there are two women and one man

educator at our school.
