CHAPTER 13

Ella POV:

I didn't think about anything. I just kissed him . Just a peck and then

SMAACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The sound of my slap resounded and lasted longer than an average slap. But I just couldn't help it , he was being an idiot. And my hand , OH MY GOD , I think it's gonna fall off. What is his face made of ? Concrete. Ufff it hurt. Growls were heard, one from behind me probably Leo's and from Mason. His growl was more guttural and shook me to my core, But I didn't let it scare me away. Anyway I didn't waste my time and yanked him to me by the front of his shirt. We stood so close , we were fleshed against each other. His eyes were almost black and only a very thin outline of blue could be seen , it was like both the colors were fighting for dominance.

"This is gonna be the last time and I'm not going it say it again. So listen carefully or God help me I'll kill you and cut you to pieces and burn them and throw the ashes in a desert with the wind."

His eyes continued their battle for dominance but his facial features changed to a mixture of amusement and shock, but I was not finished,

" I am a human and I've tried my best to cope up with the new developments in my life. Yes , I call them new developments. But did you seen me running to the woods the first time you revealed to me what you truly were ? Granted that was what I was feeling but I didn't. And after all this time when we are one step closer to understanding what is happening you are running away. I thought you were a leader not a coward. So no, You are not going to take decisions for me , it's my life too. I don't care what you think about it. I am going and if you want you can come".

I released him from my grasp and let out a heavy sigh. I didn't look at him , I just stepped back.

"Let's go."

My head snapped up to meet his face where his eyes returned to their normal color.

" I am not a coward and you are right. You've become a part of us and it does affect your life more than ours. So, let's go. Leo take two more warriors with us. I'll go with Ella to meet Wenda. but we will be the only ones to see her. You guys will have to wait and if anything goes wrong I'll mind link you. "

We went ahead and entered Mason's car. I was not sure how we were going to behave with each other after our explosions. He started the car. The silence was awkward for me. But I kept quiet. I couldn't for the life of me start a conversation and keep it going. But I didn't have to start because Mason did.

"Hey"

Well it is a good way to start so I contributed my part,

"Yess" I guess not my best move (or word)

He chuckled and I looked at him like the fool I am.

"What you laughing at?"

He laughed harder. I can't hold up my tough act if he keeps laughing this happily. It made something in my heart flutter. My lips were slightly raised at the ends.

Finally he was able to cough out some words, it sounded "HAHAHAAA ... Oh myy.... you are..... oohhh ... awkward..... why .hahahahaha earth uuuooohhh fell awkward'

Atleast I think that is what he said.

I was amused but that didn't stop me from smacking the back of his head,

"Stop laughing. Keep your eyes open and on the road."

It took some effort from his part to do this.

"Alright babe. So we are going to meet Wenda."

I was trying hard to keep my cheeks from becoming tomatoes after hearing him call me babe. He looked at me when I didn't give him an answer and smirked when he saw my traitorous cheeks.

"I want you to keep close to me at all times. Don't completely trust a witch ever in your life."

I rolled my eyes when he said the last part and he saw it,

" I am serious Elle, Witches are cunning and can either help you or completely fuck your life."

It must be serious if he swore ,

"Okay "

" Just listen to what they say and don't believe it completely it completely because whatever they say it is our fate and I believe we can change our life according to our wish. And most importantly keep in mind that you are not alone . I'll be with you always ."

"You too should keep that in mind Mase. I am here for you. You can talk to me. If you want us to work out don't overthink and if you do please let me in in on those thoughts of yours, then we can overthink together." I put my fingers on top of his, "Okay".

He looked at me with a fierce emotion that made my heart and stomach do things I literally I cannot describe and smiled the damned dimpled smile of his. I am gone. And I cannot do anything about it. So what am I waiting for right. I laced our fingers and looked at him ,

"I love you Mason. I am completely and utterly in love with you. It's like you said it might seem we are going fast but so what life is too damn short and I am in love with you Mason James Auden."
