Chapter Seven

???'s POV

"Alpha, I heard your sister is officially getting married. I would assume it would be with her mate as her wolf will not allow anyone else." My beta came into my office with a bow.

I sighed and smiled while looking out of the winder at my beautiful pack. "That's brilliant. Mother and father will be really happy in heaven knowing this. Please send a letter to my grandmother letting her know about this news." I exclaimed, turning my chair so I was facing him.

"Also, send a invationto their house and make sure it gets there by morning...their time. And add this in the envelope." I said, taking off the small locket that I had on.

Inside the locket there was two pictures. One of my and my sister, and then one of the two of us with our parents. It was truly a treasure that I held dear to my heart. But I think that if my sister notices the similarities between her the the photo, she might be more willing to come.

My beta bowed again and took the necklace before leaving the office. I m just going to have to sit here and wait, hoping she receives my message.

Luca's POV

I took the envelop from her and read the letter myself. I honestly couldn't believe that the Edwars family was still alive... and how are they royalty? Why does he even want to give us his blessings? How did he find out about it in the first place? Does Elle have something to do with him and if so, how come she never told me?

I looked over at her and watched as she stared at something in the locket. The she showed it to me.

"Look at the pictures. Tell me I'm going crazy and this little girl in them does not look like me." she pleaded amd looked at the picture. I then looked back at Elle and was shocked when I saw the picture and how similar the young girl looked like her.

"I.... I can't. You look a lot like her... only you are a older version...." I stated and she sighed, closing the locket.

"We are going. I want to meet this person and get answers." she looked at me with a straight face. I shook my head.

"No, you are injured." I stated and she took off the bandages that was covering the bit wound. When I looked, there was nothing there... it was like it magically disappeared... "h-how."

"I may not be completely human.... but if this is me in the locket, he must have an answers that I need. He was the one that sent it after all." with that, she took out the IV cords and got off of the bed. "bring me my clothes and sign my discharge papers. if we wanna get there on time then we better get ready to leave.

"Are you sure you want to? I mean... you are pregnant after all and I think it would be best-" she cut me off with a glare, her eyes turning between orange and silver. I was hella confused.

"Are you seriously assuming what would be best for me? Last time I check, you don't fucken get to assume that! I want answers from him so do as I told you." Elle spoke with such authority, commanding. With that voice, she could make anyone submit and that is what scared me.

I knew that something wasn't right with her.... it was like someone else was controlling. Whatever it was, I decided it would be best if I just did what she told me to. I stood up and walked out, I stopped a nurse to have her bring Elle's closed and then went to her doctor to give me the discharge papers. He was hesitant at first, but eventually gave them to me.

Once I filled them out, I went back to her room and looked at her, she was already changed and ready to go.

"Let's go." I said and led her to my car. Once we were both in, I looked at her and I noticed that her eyes were back to brown.

"Why did your eyes look silver and orange earlier?" I questioned and I noticed she tensed up, clearly hoping that I wasn't going to ask.

"Long story."

"I have time."

She looked up at me, "promise you won't interrupt me and stay as open minded as possible?" She asked and I nodded. She closed her eyes and started.

"Okay.... well it started yesterday morning, when I went into the wardrobe. At first, I was kinda sick... after being in the cold rain, but I started to feel better really fast. In the closet, I met Crystal-"

"A imaginary friend?" I asked with a raised eyebrow and she shot me a terrifying glare. I zipped my mouth and let her continue.

"Crystal is me, but not me. You see, I guess I am a werewolf, so in me there are two creatures. Crystal and Elle. Crystal is my wolf. I guess that when I am feeling high emotions, she has the ability to take control, which is the silver eyes you saw... the orange tho, I guess it is when we share control?" She smoked in a questioning tone as if she wasn't sure, "that is why we need to go see Edwards. I have this feeling that he has the answers that I am looking for."

The car stopped in front of the house and she got out, probably to start packing. I took out my phone, and had my people prepare my private jet immediately. I have a extremely bad feeling about this trip.

The next day, after a very long ride on the jet, we have finally made it to London. I made reservations for a room when we were flying so we will have more time to rest. We will be able to rest for the whole entire day, and then leave tomorrow morning to go and meet up with the person that was supposed to pick us up.

When we got into our hotel suit, Elle dropped her luggage and landed on the couch with a sigh.

"Does this suit have to different rooms?" She asked and I shook my head.

"No. It has a kitchen, living room and bedroom. I did my best to have my PA look for a hotel that had a suit with multiple rooms, but none did. Unfortunately, for you, we will be sleeping in the same bed." I smirked and she rolled her eyes.

"I would much rather sleep on the ground." she said and i chuckled.

"We will see about that after you see my gorgeous, perfectly toned body." I replied and flexed my biceps.

"Yea, yea, whatever." She sat ups dn fixed her hair. "I am going to go and get some ice cream, need anything?" she asked and I shook my head.

Elle nodded and left the room. I sighed and decided lay fully on the couch. I turned on the television and watched the news before my phone started to ring. I didn't look at the caller's ID before I lazily answered it and put it on speaker.

"Luca Russo, is there anything you need?"

"Is that a way to speak to your mother?" the person in the phone asked and I quickly checked the caller's ID. I took the phone off of speaker and placed it to my ear.

"Mother, why are you calling?" I asked.

"That is still not how you speak to your mother over the phone but I will let it go for now." my mother spoke and I rolled my eyes. "Anyways, I am calling about your fiancee. I told your grandmother about her and your grandmother would like to meet her tomorrow."

"Sorry, cannot do. I am out of the country, on my way to met someone from the Edwards family." I said casually and I heard a glass break on the other side.

"The Edwards? Why are you going to meet them? Are you two doing a business deal without my knowledge? What is going on?"

"Yesterday we received a letter from him and he wanted to bless me and my future wife before out wedding." I shrugged casually.

"What! Why would he do this? The Edwards is noting but a selfish family. Only caring about themselves. Whatever you do, try to stay as far away from him as possible. You never know what can happen with that family.... not just that, but don't listen to a word he says. He will get to brainwash you into believing in what he says" my mother warned and I narrowed my eyebrows.

"What are you talking about? have you met the Edwards before? Does our families not have a good history with each other? How come I was never informed, and only told that everyone in the family is dead?" I threw endless questions at my mother, but after that last one, the line went dead.

I tossed my phone back on the table and laid back down on the couch, closing my eyes with a sigh. My mother is definitely hiding something. Not just that, but I was still processing what Elle told me yesterday. I surely do hope that seeing this Edwards person will give me answers, this was really, really stressful and I am just about ready to get this done and over with.

I woke up and looked at the time, it was almost dinner time. When I sat up on the couch, I had a massive headache, but noticed Elle sitting in front of the couch, watching Disney movies. She had a tube of ice cream in her lap as she ate tube combs treat with a table spoon. I don't think she noticed that I woke up because when I moved to sit beside her, she jumped.

She looked at me with a smile and offered me a spoon of ice cream. I chuckled and went to go and lick it off of the spoon, she shoved the spoon in her mouth.

My jaw dropped as I looked at her in shock, she took the spoon out of her mouth and stuck her tough out at me. I rolled my eyes at her silliness.

Soon after, she dropped her spoon and placed both hand on her head. "Brain freeze!" She yelled and ran off into the kitchen. I watched her and laughed.

"That's what you get for teasing me like that!" I shouted at her as a smile played on my face. I noticed that she shot me a glare as she drank a cup of water.

She came back soon after and finished off her ice cream.

"There is dinner in the fridge that you could heat up. I already ate when you were asleep... didn't want to wake you up." She said.

"Did you cook it?" I asked and she shook her head.

"Room service."

"Of course."

After I ate, we sat in the living room for a bit in out pajamas and talked until I noticed that she was struggling keeping her eyes opened.

"Come on." I said as I took her hand and lead her to the room.

I laid down on the bed and patted the spot beside me. She shook her head and took a pillow and blanket. She took the pillow and laid it on the floor beside the bed, and laid down before covering herself with the blanket... on the ground.

I still couldn't believe that she would actually do that.
