Chapter 320: SIDE STORIES BOOK 1- ELLA AND DEVON CHAPTER 5

~~

Ella

~~

  I honestly can't believe that I did that. I woke up this morning in Devon's arms. I was well rested, fully healed, and completely satisfied. To think that I could find something like this during this dark time.

Devon was strong, sexy, and very skilled in many ways. He smelled so wonderful. His scent was like apricots and ginger. It was sweet and tart with just a hint of spice, perhaps some cardamom. I think that Devon's scent perfectly matched his personality. He was sweet, but I saw him acting sour toward Alpha Reece, and not to mention he was bad in all the right ways (that's what I will consider his spicy side).

I had hoped to spend all day alone with Devon. I wanted us to get to know everything there was about each other. I knew that he was my mate, my fate, my destiny, I just hope he thought the same way.

We spent the morning with each other. We made french toast together and ate it while curled up on the couch and talking. Following that we showered together and had a round two of the activities from the night before.

Just when we were getting ready to head to Devon's place, so he could get some more clothes, I got a call from Trinity. That seemed to upset Devon a little but he didn't show it too much.

It turns out that a lot had happened the night before and they wanted all of the women that are associated with the Luna to come to the pack house for their safety. I didn't mind going, but Devon was being a little jealous and protective. He didn't know it, but he was already acting like a wolf. I thought that was totally sweet.

Trinity and Alpha Reece wanted me to bring my mom to the house as well. The problem was, she was beside herself with guilt over what happened the night before. She was not in good shape and it was hard for her to leave the house at all right now.

So, since she didn't feel up to driving me to the pack house, Devon offered. He said that he wanted the explanation that I had promised would come from those that were in charge, and he already gathered that I was referring to Trinity and Alpha Reece.

A little while later, after stopping by Devon's for some fresh clothes, we headed to the estate so that we could get me to where I was needed, or wanted however you wanted to look at it.

I saw that Trinity and Alpha Reece were waiting for us when we got out of the car. I didn't wait for Devon to open my door for me, something that I was certain made him a little upset as he was a gentleman and wanted to do that for me. He had done it at his place at least, and when he drove me home last night as well.

I saw that Trinity was looking at me curiously, pure excitement in her eyes.

"Ella?" Trinity called out in a voice that was uneasy but happy at the same time. "I thought your mom was going to bring you."

"She wasn't feeling up to it." I hung my head, remembering how upset my mom had sounded when I spoke to her this morning.

"I was hoping we could have offered her some solace." Trinity was looking sad now, that wasn't my intention when I told her that. "I will send her something to make her feel better." I didn't know what she meant by that, but I was happy that she was thinking about my mom's well being as well.

"Detective Scott, it's a pleasure to see you again, but to what do we owe this pleasure?" Alpha Reece spoke next, a hint of authority in his voice but the rest of it was welcoming and knowing. He must have realized what was happening last night.

Before anyone said anything else Devon walked over to me and wrapped his arm around my waist. This move made him match the way the Alpha was standing, holding Trinity.

"I think that I have a right to be here, do I not?"

"Huh." I heard Trinity gasp. "Ella, does this mean what I think it means?"

"Yes, it does." All I could do was smile. I was happy, even though I knew that it was not the right time for me to be happy I was still ecstatic.

"This is amazing Ella." Trinity ran up to me then and wrapped her arms around my neck. It was a move that shocked everyone: me, Devon, and Alpha Reece. "I'm so happy for you."

"Thank you." I smiled more broadly at the elation that Trinity was feeling for me.

"And I take it that you are the Detective Scott I spoke to on the phone yesterday?" She asked the man who stood dumbfounded next to the two of us. Devon just nodded.

"Ella, how much have you told him?" Alpha Reece asked her, needing to know the extent of what we needed to explain.

"Not much, I was nervous. But he knows we're not….. normal." I was hesitant when I answered him.

"What do you know?" Alpha Reece asked my mate who just raised an eyebrow curiously.

"I know that as soon as I even heard Ella's voice it was like I had found my destiny. I don't know what is different about her from other people, she just told me that she was not like other girls and that she would like to leave the explanation up to you guys."

I could see a smirk spread across my Alpha's face when he heard what Devon had to say. 

"Ella, it seems that you wanted me to blow your new mate's mind." He joked. "Come on in and we will explain everything."

We were welcomed into the Alpha's estate then, and led into a sitting room. There were pitchers of water to drink sitting on the table in between a grouping of small sofas and chairs. Devon and I sat on one together while the Alpha and Luna sat across from us. It was time for the truth to finally be revealed to my mate.

"Devon, you are going to learn a lot of things that you probably won't believe at first. But I want you to know that I am not lying to you at all." Alpha Reece looked at Devon with a serious look as he spoke.

"I will try to be open minded." I could tell that Devon meant that too.

"Good. You will need to keep an open mind if you are to make it through all of this." I saw another smirk on the Alpha's face then before he started to explain it all. "As you said outside, we are not normal. If you ask us if we're human, that's a hard question to answer. We are human most of the time, but other times we're not." 

"What, are you fish the rest of the time?" Devon laughed.

"No, wolves." That was a bombshell that I don't think Devon expected to hear from the Alpha.

"Excuse me?" There was a look of shock on Devon's face as he asked for clarity.

"When we're not human we're wolves. In all sense we're werewolves. But not the Hollywood version."

"What are you saying, werewolves? That's impossible. Full moon, allergic to silver, bite someone and they become like you werewolves."

"I just said it wasn't like the Hollywood version of werewolves. We are children of the Moon Goddess. We shift at will not at the command of the full moon. Silver doesn't affect us. And aside from having an animal counterpart we're pretty much the same as other people."

"Sure you are."

"Well, there are some differences. We're stronger and faster than humans. We can smell and hear better than them as well."

"Well, that makes sense, if you're half dog."

"Devon, be nice." I scolded him.

"Ella, you can't seriously believe all of this? Don't tell me that you drank their kool-aid and became a member of this playboy's cult."

"Um, this playboy is married." Reece sounded offended. "And I have never been a playboy to begin with." 

"I don't care what you are or aren't. What I do know is that you're not a werewolf. They don't exist."

I knew that Devon needed proof, he needed to see this to believe it all. That was when I stood and walked to a more open part of the room. I didn't need to get Devon's attention since his eyes had been on me since the moment I had stood up.

"Devon, I am sorry to do this right in front of you, but I think that you need to see this to believe it."

I didn't strip, that would have been embarrassing to do in front of my Alpha and Luna. What I did do, was will my wolf to come out right there in that room. I had been doing it for years now so it was second nature to me.

One moment I was standing there as the human Ella, and the next I was changing into the much larger wolf version of myself. My brown fur, pointed ears, large paws, all of it. I was my wolf self and the feeling was wonderful, like always.

"E-E-Ella?" Devon seemed to be a little scared but he didn't act like I expected him to. Once he took in the sight of what was standing in front of him he seemed to calm down quite a bit. "So this is real then. This is really real?"

"It's real." Alpha Reece answered for me since I didn't think that Devon would understand my words right now.

Devon rose to his feet and walked over to me. When he was standing right in front of me I nuzzled my head against his palm, encouraging him to touch me. I saw a happy and content look in his eyes when he saw that my eyes were the same color as they were before the shift. He rubbed my wolf head and felt the softness of the fur.

"Can I become a wolf too?" He turned to look at Reece then.

"There are legends that say we can turn humans, but I don't know how to do it. But if I ever find out, I will let you know."

There was sadness in Devon's eyes then but he didn't say anything, he just turned back to look at me. After that he accepted all the explanations that Alpha Reece had to offer him. Once we had told, and showed, Devon everything it was time for us to go up to the room I was going to be staying in so that I could shift back.
