This week has been a rough one, but hopefully we can get some answers tonight. The boys have been helping our dads locate the Blood Moon Pack. We’re hoping to find Abby, so Ezra can explain the situation. If she is meant for him, she should understand and forgive him.I’m hoping we can get more information at the meeting. I’m nervous for Ezra, and to find out what’s going on with Creed. I need to know that he’s OK and not lying in a ditch somewhere.“Bella, let’s go. It’s a meeting not the prom,” my dad yelled up the stairs.I took one last look in the mirror before heading downstairs to meet the boys. The butterflies in my stomach are driving me crazy. Calm down Bella, you’re just there to listen. I keep telling myself. The drive to the convention center was quick. Dad gave me the run-down on how these meetings usually work on the drive. The Alpha’s all sit at their designated tables with their Beta and Gamma’s behind them, and the heirs sit in the last row along the wall. Whoever c
I didn’t mean to say that out loud. I looked at my dad, and he just ran his hand over his face.“Is this your girl gamma?” Rowen’s dad said.“Yes, she’s my oldest.”Rowen’s dad looked back at me, “I thought you were a wolf. What are you?”“My genetics are my business. The important thing is, I didn’t kill the vampires?”I noticed Cyrus had a smirk on his face, yep, he knows who I am.“Why didn’t you kill them? We don’t need to worry about blood suckers. If they attack you, take them out.”“No disrespect sir, but I don’t think you have a right to tell me how to act. If that’s the way you think, then you’re not any better than the fallen dragon king.”“You don’t know who you’re talking to, little girl.”My dad stood up to defend me, but I jumped up and grabbed his arm.“Let me handle this,” I linked him.He glared at Rowen’s dad for a minute but nodded to me and sat back down.“I know exactly who I’m talking to. If you think that I should have killed the vampires, then I should have kil
None of us said a word as we walked out to the car. My dad looks like he’s a mix of proud and concerned. Yeah, there’s a long lecture coming my way, but it was so worth it. I can’t read the look on Uncle Kain’s face, but Uncle Gavin looks proud. Even if he is trying to hide his smirk.As soon as our car doors shut, I had four sets of eyes on me.“What the hell were you thinking,” my dad yelled.“Are you completely crazy,” Ryker added.“That was awesome. Did you see the look on their faces?” Ezra smiled wide until my dad and Ryker stared him down. Drake just ran his hand through his hair and shook his head. “Don’t be mad at me, someone had to tell them how stupid they're acting. They act like it’s normal to hate each other, just because of the species you were born as. You have all these Alphas and kings in the same room acting tough, but nobody has the guts to call them out on their crap.”“There’s a reason for that, Bella. I don’t want you to think I’m mad about you standing up for
OMG not again, “RYKER STOP! Ezra, do something, don’t just stand there!” I slammed my body into my brother’s side, knocking him off the guy he was hitting. “I said get off of him Ryker, you’re going to kill him.”The guy jumped up and started running as soon as Ryker fell to his side.“Great, there goes my date for tonight. What the heck is wrong with you, he didn’t do anything to you.” I crossed my arms and stared Ryker down.“He’s not right for you, he’s too weak.”“That’s not your decision, it’s mine. What would make you think that you have any control over my life? You’re my little brother, remember jerk face.”“And you,” I pointed at Ezra, “Why didn’t you stop him?”“Sorry Bell, but I agree with him. That weak little shrimp wasn’t taking you out anywhere. He would have tried something.”“Stop calling me that, and maybe I wanted him to.” I crossed my arms and squinted my eyes at them.“Both of you are ridiculous and unbearable. I can’t wait to get out of here.”Ryker started laugh
I personally think this mark is nothing but a curse. I’m never going to even find out what this mark means if they never let me leave the pack. If by chance, I am meant for some prophecy, I want the opportunity to fulfill it. I know I’m meant for more than just picking up random odd jobs around the pack. I’m meant for something bigger. I can feel it.I rolled my eyes as I listened to my parents. Maybe I’m just getting my hopes up, and he isn’t going to give in this time. I don’t understand why he thinks I’m so helpless. He has seen the damage I can do.I looked out my window and smiled as I saw my uncle Gavin, Aunt Violet, and my cousins walking over. I forgot the rest of my family was coming over for dinner tonight.This could work in my favor. I’m super close to my Aunt Violet. She always takes my side and Uncle Gavin always has a plan. He’s ready for anything. Now I just need to get my Uncle Kain and Aunt Siah on my side. Aka Alpha and Luna. They’re a little harder because they a
After dinner, I sat in my room and cried for what felt like forever. When I look back on that day, I can’t help but laugh. I should have relaxed and trusted the boys more.All three of them got into Moonlight just like we knew they would, but it’s OK. I’ve had several talks with them throughout the summer, and they agreed to give me my space. I guess they are growing up, they agreed not to rat me out to mom and dad for everything I do. They even agreed not to interfere with my dating. As long as I give them enough information to report back to dad. We need to make them think the boys are doing their job. Ryker is a good brother. It’s just hard to admit that my little brother is constantly watching over me. I should be taking care of him, not the other way around.I spent a lot of time with my family this summer, and my parents drilled safety precautions into my head. I don’t know why they are so worried. I get it. I won’t use my powers or tell anyone what I can do. I have the scent
I followed Creed’s eyes and tried to assess the situation. There are 6 guys that I can see. Three are standing by the driver’s side of his truck, and 3 are standing on the sidewalk in front of it. I scanned the parking lot again and noticed a few other people that were trying to act casual, but you can tell their nervous. I looked back up at Creed, “look I’m not sure what’s going on or what kind of trouble you’re in, but I’m just trying to get to college without any problems.”“He looked down at me and smiled, “and you will. That’s why I’m leaving. I’ll apologize now for what you’re about to see, and I'll formally make it up to you when we both get to Moonlight. Please just trust me. This isn’t as bad as it looks. They have it coming. Stay in here until I drive away, and you will be safe.” He tilted his head up to scan the parking lot one more time.“Oh, and Bella, I’m looking forward to college now more than ever,” he winked and flashed me a big smile before he turned to walk toward
We made it back to my car safely and headed out of town as fast as we could. Now that we’re back out on the open highway, it should be smooth sailing from here. I glanced over at Creed and hid my smile. He looks like he’s in pain sitting shot gun in my little Hyundai Electra. He’s so big his knees are hitting the dash with his seat all the way back. “You know if you want me to drive I can,” Creed gave me a pleading look. I smiled, “I’m good. That little break was just what I needed to get my energy back.” “You call that a break,” he let out a small laugh. “Well, minus all the fighting, yah.” I grinned. I couldn’t explain it to him, but that fight put a spark back into me that I hadn’t been able to find in a while. I’m dirty, and I need a good shower, but I also feel more alive than I have in a long time. We drove in silence for a couple of hours before looking for a hotel. I couldn’t stop wondering what he thought of me, or what kind of trouble he was in. This isn’t how I ex
