Chapter 43

I was taken aback when I saw the man Ellie and I met at her great grandfather's house. I was curious how he knew I was here. Did he have a track on me? He was dressed formally, but he did not arrive alone. 

There were other werewolves in suits, some holding guns like soldiers, and the bar was about to turn into a battleground. 

The vampires were in a corner, while the werewolves were also in a corner of the bar. I was in the middle, next to the werewolf bodyguard. 

Both sides had been deafeningly silent. They must have known each other. I'm not sure if they were waiting for someone to speak first, but Richard finally swallowed his pride and broke the silence.

"It's been a while, Connor," he admitted. "I'm curious what drew the Gamma alpha to the bar," Manson added. "It's been a while, Richard and Manson," he responded, "and I'm going to take Adam." "I guess you won't be able to stop me?" he added. 

"Sure, we won't be able to stop you. Just tell your little wolf to leave you alone. "I'm not going to be able to stop myself from killing him," Richard admitted. "I'm guessing he's very special to the park for the gamma alpha to come here himself to get," Manson joked. "Let go, Adam," Connor instructed.

We all turned around and walked out of the bar. There were several cars parked in front of the bar. Connor ordered one of the werewolves standing behind him to open the back seat door while the others entered different cars. Connor 

He walked quickly to the car, opened the door, and found Sir Edward inside. Connor gave the command, "Enter." I entered the car and sat down while the door was closed behind me. Connor slid into the driver's seat.

"Why did you put your life in danger in that place?" Edward inquired. "I just wanted an answer," I explained. "I don't think I'll keep helping if you keep going to them," he replied softly, "I wonder why the park isn't trying to get involved with the vampires." "Ellie hasn't asked for my assistance in a long time, but she's been asking for it lately. You must be very special to her. I haven't seen her like this since her father abandoned her and her mother."

I assumed she was the one who summoned him to assist me back there. I'm curious as to why she never told me about her parents abandoning her. That's a terrible thing for them to do. 

"I would like you not to abandon her; she really likes you," he added. I gave a nod. The door swung open. They'd been parked in front of my house for about 30 minutes. I got out of the car, stood in front of them as they drove away, and then turned to trudge heading back to my house. I'm completely exhausted, I can’t use the front door, I walked to my window so I can scale inside.
