CHAPTER FIVE: TWISTED LIES AND NEW TRUTH

Ella is so devastated as she runs through the woods totally heartbroken . Her emotions were all clouded. She was feeling betrayal, anger and heartbreak all at the same time. Her heart pounding in her chest like it's about to pop out. She knew that she and Theo were done for life. She couldn't go back to him, not after discovering that he was the cause of her dilemma. He brought pain to her. But she couldn't help but Remember the love they share. For crying out loud she is his mate, her wolf ory had told her about it. Of all people to break her heart this way and it was Theo. She sat under the tree crying her eyes out, wishing that she would just wake up from this bad dream.

How could the moon goddess do this to her, mating her to the very man that brought doom to her. The more she cried, the more she found it hard to breathe. At this very point life meant nothing to her anymore. She has lost everything, like everything. She could see it in Theo's eyes that he was genuinely sorry but she couldn't still bring herself to forgive him and she may never forgive him.

As she was lost in her thoughts, she heard the sound of broken tree branches-- like someone walking towards her side. She thought it was Theo chasing after her but it was ---- Ben??

"Hi beautiful", said Ben pretending to care

"What do you want from me?

Why did you follow me" Said Ella

"After finding out the truth like this, I couldn't just bear to see you go off on your own. Obviously you are hurt , hurt by your own mate, it must be very very sad and heart wrenching.

So I say that you should come with me considering the fact that you have no where to go and you have no one. It's pretty dangerous out here you know, so what do u say"

Ella couldn't think straight. He was saying the truth, she had no one and no where to go. She didn't feel right about it but anything to help her recover from this shock and heartbreak.

" I'll come with you", she replied sobbing

Immediately she accepted Ben was instantly happy like it was one big deal. She didn't seem to understand. She didn't trust Ben but at this point he was her best shot at surviving.

Theo is sitted on the floor and all that could be heard is silence and sobs. Theo's heart is so broken and enraged. His wolf was stirred with anger. Broken at the fact that his mate has vanished and is in the arms of Ben and angry at the fact that Ben has succeeded in his plans.

He is reminded how he watched her leave but couldn't stop her, maybe he didn't stop her because he felt he deserves it. He should have told her.

" How did I let things get this bad", he soliloquized

" I should have told her sooner maybe just maybe I may had had a better chance of explaining to her properly. I feel very stupid"

Now that he knows that Ella is with Ben he can only pray to the moon goddess to keep her safe and save her from Ben's lies and deceit.

They had arrived at Ben's pack, The Blood worm pack. Immediately she stepped in , she looked around,she couldn't feel the warmth, light and love like when she entered Theo's pack.

" I guess I have to adapt now ", she said

" welcome Alpha Ben, I see you brought a guest with you today ", a man standing in the shadow said

" Yes Leo, I did. Meet Ella Theo's doom", Ben introduced

Finally the man stepped out. He was Alpha Leo.

Ella was surprised at the intro. Why is she called Theo's doom.

" I see, please take her in and make her feel at home, then come down let's discuss", said Leo

Few minutes later, Ben is down

" Do you think she will corporate with us", asked Leo

" At this point she is filled with vengeance towards Leo for terminating her pack, so I'm positive she will", replied Ben happily

" well that good, she's the pawn to which we bring Theo down", Leo said while they both laugh.

After some few minutes of discussion, Ben got up and left.

"Yes Ben that's right. Do all the dirty work for me. You think I'm working with you , only time will tell. Conquer everyone for me while I wait patiently to conquer you by poisoning you . " Leo says while grinning wickedly.

Ella is lying down on her bed. In as much as she's heartbroken, she couldn't help but think that she might have walked straight into a trap. She couldn't understand what was going on. She couldn't understand why Ben wants to ruin Theo and who Alpha Leo is . Thinking all about this made her sob even harder. She was trapped.

Theo is still in the shadow blaming himself. His beta Ken came in to deliver a message

" Alpha, we made a shocking discovery about the day Ben's mate die"

"Go on", Theo urged

"She was stabbed by someone wearing a green vest. It didn't seem like an accident, it was totally intentional ", ken disclosed

" really ", Theo expresses shock

I remember that someone had informed me that Ben had sent for me to come to the garden and meet it. It was almost like whoever did it was trying to set me up", Theo said

"Yes Alpha, whoever did this must be no ordinary person." , ken further added

" Wait, did you say the person that stabbed her was wearing a green vest?",Theo ask curiously

"Yes Alpha, a green vest with an eagle embroidered in the crest", ken replied

" The only person that I remember from that day that was wearing green vest embroidered with eagle in the crest on it was no other person than---- Alpha Leo" .
