figure out what happened to our mothers.  I know I had to leave before your birthday, so I taped your present underneath your vanity.
     
    Always,
    Eli
     
    Jadelyn slowly got off her bed and made her way to her vanity by the window.  After moving the chair out of her way, she crawled underneath the vanity, and sure enough , something was duct taped at the back of the vanity.  Over the years, the tape must have loosened because all it took was one hard pull for the tape to give way.  As she crawled out, she heard her father clearing his voice. 
    “Jadelyn, what are you doing under there?”
    “I read the first letter Eli sent to me and it led me to a present he left right before my thirteenth birthday,” she answered her father as she tore the tape off and opened the jewelry box.  Inside the box was a silver necklace with a starfish charm on it with engraving on the front and back of the starfish.  On the front in light green engraving were both of their initials E & J, turning it around, she saw Best friends with the infinity symbol underneath it.  She kept turning it in her hand, caressing it, staring at it as if it had all the answers to her questions.  She wanted to know why Eli didn’t come back eleven years ago when he turned eighteen.  Why would someone want to take the letters they had written each other?  Jadelyn thought if she could just get the necklace on, then some of the confusion, some of the chaotic emotions she was feeling, would calm inside her.   
    “Dad, can you help put this on .” 
    Her father walked all the way into her room as she turned around and handed the necklace to him.  Baron hooked it onto his daughter’s neck and turned to leave.  He knew she would want her space while she thought things through and when she was ready, she would talk to him.  Eli and her mother were the only shifters she told everything to . It took her longer to open up to everyone else around her, her father included.  Just as he was walking out, he turned back around.  “I will stay with Jake at the private hospital for two more days until it is time for the battle to start and then Ace’s father will take over for me so you guys won’t have to worry about his safety.  Just have fun and meet me at the battle an hour ahead of time.” 
    She wanted to ask her father why Jake was at the private hospital but knew he would just tell her to ask Eli tomorrow. 
    She nodded her head and then her father closed the door.  Jadelyn walked to her bathroom to get ready for bed.  After washing her face and brushing her teeth, she walked back into her bedroom, preparing herself to read the rest of Eli’s letters, when she noticed Ace was now sitting at her vanity while Chelsea was sitting on her bed.
    “So what happened when Eli came over?” Chelsea asked as Jadelyn put her dress in the dry-cleaning basket.
    Jadelyn climbed onto her bed next to Chelsea as she told them everything that happened when Eli stopped by earlier.
    “Can I read the rest of the letters with you?  I want to see what they say,” asked Chelsea. 
    Ace rolled his eyes as he stood up.  “I am going to be in our room while you two do that girly stuff.”  I can’t wait until Eli moves in, Ace thought as he walked out of Jadelyn’s room and down the hall into his and Chelsea’s room.  They moved into the Alpha’s house right after Jadelyn started receiving the gruesome pictures and threats, so they could be there with her in case someone decided to take the threats further.  When they won the Beta Battle, without their second mate, they would move into the Beta house, and learn from his fathers and mother until it was time for them to take over.
    When Ace closed her door, Jadelyn turned to Chelsea before they started to read the letters.  “I am sorry for running off and not talking to you when I realized Eli was my mate.”
    “It’s okay.  I know you like to bottle things up inside until you are ready to let them out,
