Chapter 2
Elijah's POV
I was surrounded in darkness, but I can hear people talking. My first thought was to stay as still as possible because my kidnappers have captured me yet again. As soon as I felt someone grab my hands, I started struggling and screaming “let me go, let me go please”. “Alpha, please calm down its me Jake”. I remember that name and voice, it’s the voice of my best friend and beta, but I still refuse to open my eyes because I don’t want to get my hopes up thinking that they didn’t abandon me and have finally found me. He let go of my hand and I felt him touch my face “come on Eli we’ve got you now, can you open your eyes me?” I shut my eyes even tighter and willed the voice to go away, but it didn’t instead my wolf Ruka who have been comatose like for 2year finally made an appearance tonight Come on Elijah open your eyes I can sense our beta.
I trusted my wolf and opened my eyes the first thing I saw was Jakes eyes looking at me with a smile, I tried sitting up to look around, but my body screamed in pain a hand reached out to me but I flinched away the sharp movement made me groan. Jake tried again to help me sit up, but I flinch yet again “don’t touch me!” I hissed. He nodded and stepped back, I managed to sit up while gritting my teeth trying to ignore the burning pain. I looked around and realized that I was in my room; it looks exactly the same as it was 3years ago. My eyes landed on my mum and dad who were standing at the end of my bed looking at me cautiously, mum smiled at me with tears running down her face, “ my baby boy, I cannot believe you are back home.” I just looked at her with a blank face my dad also had tears in his eyes, but he didn’t say anything he just smiled.
I rub my temples as my head starts pounding. “You should rest, we can talk later” my mum said. She reached out to stroke my hair, but I put my hand out to stop her “Don’t touch me” I hissed, She nodded and gave me a sad smile. “How did you guys find me” I asked, looking at everyone. Jake was the first to answer “we have been searching the trail we found you for a while now”. Then my dad finally speaks “I took few war wolves with me to patrol the trail one last time before we move on to another trail, we were about to turn back when we heard someone scream, we started searching around then you scent hit me and I followed it until we found you passed out” his voice cracked, after composing himself he spoke again “I am so sorry it took us…..” I wave my hand at him and cut him off “its fine, you found me, thanks for not giving up” they all smiled at me and I just stared back at them with a blank face all my emotion locked away. I lie back down on the bed and close my eyes, they all left my room after a while, giving me the space I needed to process all this. With a tiny smile and relief the last thing that went through my mind before I let the darkness surround me was that…… I was finally home.
