Chapter 30: Final decision
Pov Helena
I open my eyes being welcomed by the sun shining through the window. I rub my hands over my eyes and sit up. Flashes from last night run through my head and I can't help but smile stupidly.
I sigh happily and get up walking into the bathroom with my clothes under my arm. I place my clothes onto the sink and look into the mirror. I blink rapidly looking at myself. I can't believe how I look. For once I don't look like I lack sleep. My eyes are bright and my skin glows, all impurity's gone. I look healthy.
I touch my skin to be sure it's real. I guess this has to do with the mate bond. My eyes drift down my neck where small purple bruises are shown. I bite my lip as I trace the hickeys down to my shoulder, remembering how it felt to feel his kisses on my skin.
I shake my head as I feel a familiar tingling between my legs. I shake my pj's off, stepping into the shower setting it immediately on cold.
The cold water doesn't help cool me down at all as the cool feeling reminds me of yesterday. I put my head back against the tiles. How am I gonna face Eros without blushing furiously? Or being weird. One look at each other and his members will know exactly the ins and outs of the matter.
I don't want his pack members to know yet. Not because I'm scared but because they need time and me too actually. It's hard suddenly becoming a ruler of a pack that you first hated. I know for certain some, and with some I mean literally the whole damn pack, will not be pleasant with the news of me becoming their Luna.
Believe me I'm trying my best here, I want to earn their trust and my intentions are true but I'll guess time will have to heal everything.
I think back to Eros, to how happy he was yesterday as I finally gave him a chance. I smile again, feeling happy.
It's strange feeling this way. I've never felt this giddy before, not even with Andrew. Yeah of course I loved Andrew and liked to be with him but the feeling Eros gives me is so much stronger.
Even thinking about him makes me all tingly. I close my eyes letting the water run over my body.
After a few minutes I step out of the shower, drying myself off and then putting on my underwear and basic tee and jeans. I put my short hair into a low bun and walk back into my room. I put on a pair of random shoes and then walk downstairs to go have breakfast.
The guard at my door has been taken away as they start to trust me more. Well at least Eros does.
I suddenly bump into someone. I look up and see Luke. "Hi Luke, how are you?" It's been awhile since I've seen him and now as I'm looking at him I can't help noticing how he looks like a lost puppy. "Hey, what's a matter?" I place my hand on his arm, feeling worried.
"I can't help but to feel so guilty Helena. I've put you into this situation and I know you don't wanna be here." I blink taking in his words before softly smiling at him.
"I don't blame you Luke, and about not wanting to be here, let's just say things have changed." He frowns at me. "I found out Eros is my mate." I look at his reaction and see surprise before he softly smiles too.
"Are you accepting him?"
I nod my head softly. "I guess, I mean, there is no denying the feelings we feel towards each other, of course the mate bond is to blame for that but other than that I think I actually love him." He gives me a big smile, wrapping his arms around me in a tight hug.
"That's amazing." He holds me close to him before pulling away. "But what about Andrew?" My smile falters a bit.
"Still figuring it out. I think I'm gonna go to him today. He needs to know I'm not coming back anymore and I need to break up with him. He deserves someone better than me, someone who isn't involved in all this." I gesture with my hands around us.
"Your decisions normally suck but I must say this is a good one." I make a fake hurt face, placing my hand over my chest and he laughs at me. He then grabs my hand leading me downstairs to the dining room.
I was sitting next to the head of the table with Luke next to me. Some of the members gave us like every morning a strange look. But I must say that the number of ugly looks we get has decreased day by day. Some even come talk to me sometimes and I thing that that is a huge leap forwards.
I hear footsteps and look up seeing Eros in a black shirt and black jeans approaching the table. Immediately my heart beats faster seeing my mate. He looks over to my giving me a smirk that speaks for itself. I lower my eyes feeling my face heat up.
"Good morning Lena, did you sleep well?" Is the first thing he says to me the moment he's seated. His eyes are taunting and I can't help but smile foolishly.
"I did sleep well, and you?" He takes a sip of water, looking seductively over the edge of his glass.
"Never slept better."
His members start talking to each other, breaking the silence.
I slowly eat a piece of roasted bread with jam before telling Eros the decision I have made about Andrew.
"I'm going to Richmond hill today." I say, searching his face for his reaction. He blinks, all playfulness disappearing.
"And why's that?" His eyebrows knit together and he puts his elbows on the table leaning over to me.
I place my hands on my lap. "I need to talk to Andrew."
He shakes his head. "Can't you do that over the phone?" I see his jealousy taking over.
"No, because I need to tell him it's over into his face, I won't do it over the phone." My own playfulness disappears too, my stubbornness taking its place.
He licks his bottom lip, his demeanour changing slightly. "And you will go today?"
"Yes, the sooner the better and I won't take no for an answer." I feel the looks of his members peer into the side of my face as our conversation changes.
After a long silence and just us staring into each other's eyes he finally nods giving in. I smile softly, proud of my little victory.
After dinner I grabbed my phone and all other stuff I need and ask Luke for his car keys. He gives it to me easily, wishing me luck and just when I'm about to walk out the door Eros grabs my arm.
"Be safe okay?" I smile at him.
"And with 'be safe' you mean 'come back soon'," he gives me a smile off his own. "I know you."
I want to walk to the car but before I can he pulls me back pulling me in for a soft kiss, making the tingles run over my lips. When he lets go of me I'm already feeling breathless.
I walk to the car getting in and starting the engine. I look one last time over to where Eros stands before reversing the car and getting back on the road. It's gonna be a 30 minute drive, I'll hope this will be enough time to think about what I'm gonna say to Andrew when I get there.
