Chapter 2 Hard To Stay Away

Elijah's POV

Six months ago, I found my mate, when I did, I felt as if my heart and soul was ripped from me all at the same time. She was bitten by several demons, changing her into right in of my eyes and there was nothing that about it. The day that I found her, King Demetri and RI kicked the shit out of me till I was bloody and beaten down. King RI told me, "You don't need you upsetting your mom and sister or anyone else." As harsh as I thought it was at the time, I could see where he was coming from. I was pissed, ready to blow up at anything and anyone in my path. I was told to stay away from her, till everyone figures out how to get her alone and separated away from the rest of the demons, so they use the White Light Cure on her. So, far, we haven't been able to get her alone; her own family was told to stay away from her. When we got back to the pack house that night, Luc called her dad, Montgomery. He took leave from work and they have all been here ever since.

Palmyra, that's my mate's name and what a beautiful name it is. She was on winter vacation when she went missing. She left her college dorm and was driving home, when her car broke down on the side of the road. She made the mistake by accepting help from the wrong person. She had a friend with her, Violet, that was going home with Palmyra for the break. Violet happened to be a werewolf, Palmyra didn't know, but their help turned out to a demon, several of them actually; Violet knew. She tried to warn Palmyra, tried sending them away. But, the demon wasn't having any of that. When Violet shifted to protect Palmyra, she was shot in the head with a silver bullet. The girls were recording their trip on a camcorder, joking around, acting goofy; normal things that two young twenty year old do.

When they were attacked, the camcorder was dropped to the ground, but still able to pick everything up. Montgomery, his family and several of his friends and coworkers that came with him that first day, have all been transformed to either werewolves, hounds od God or a combo of both, making them hybrids. There were a few times, that she came up to the boarder, each time with tears in her eyes. After a few minutes, her demon would kick in and taunt us, tempting us to join her side .Both times, Montgomery and I had to be held back from going towards her. He wanted his daughter, I wanted my mate. Her visits have been getting more and more frequent, she always has others demons with her, making it impossible to safely capture her. It keeps getting harder and harder for me to stay away. A few times, I've been found at the boarder; waiting for her show up. It seemed as if I would never have her.
