Bella“Bella, I need you to stay in the back of the van.” Aiden doesn’t look at me, his eyes are busy searching the area.“Why?”“You can’t see where we are going or how we get there.”My frown deepens as I stare at him. “You are not making any sense.”“He thinks that you are somehow connected to Christian, that’s why he has been able to find you.” Leighton mumbles.“You are just trying to cover your own ass!” I snap, “And when the truth gets out about you…”“Bella, I can promise you, one hundred percent, I am not Christian’s informant.”“You mean your father's informant!”“He isn’t my father. Maybe by blood, but that is all. He didn’t raise me. He only wants me now because I’m a Hybrid. He thinks that I can be an asset.”I fold my arms up across my chest and turn away from him. “Fine!”Getting back in the van, Aiden flicks on a torch for me so I wouldn’t be in complete darkness when he closes the doors.I tried to follow the route, remembering the directions we were taking. It dawns

BellaI could feel Aiden’s anger, and Jacob, the Hybrid I was training with, used the distraction as a way to throw me off of him.He pinned me to the ground, using his full weight. Almost crushing me and knocking the air out of me. But I had told him not to go easy.“Hey, that’s enough!” Aiden yells. Through the gap under Jacob’s leg, I could just about see Aiden striding towards us. His face wrinkled in annoyance.“I can’t train if you make them stop each time you think I’m losing!” I snap, wrestling against Jacob’s Lycan.“Jacob!” Aiden snapsJacob retreats, looking just as disappointed as I felt. He was the only one here who seemed to be able to train for hours on end and not get bored.“I need to train.” I mutter, glaring at Aiden from the ground.“And we need to talk. You can train again tomorrow.”Sitting up, I notice that Leighton is nowhere to be seen.“Did you have an argument with him?” “No, he is doing some investigating for me.”He pulls me to my feet and starts to walk

BellaLeighton was dragging an unconscious Rogue by his ankle towards us.. Aiden gets out of the car, hurrying towards him as I keep an eye out for the humans that had disappeared into the trees. It would only be a matter of time before the humans found those dead ones. Unless the wolves got to them first.“Why did you bring him here?” I hear Aiden yell“I told you, the twat stabbed me.”“Stabbed?” I was curious and join them. “Stabbed with what?”“Some sort of syringe.” Leighton points to his neckOn his neck was a small red pin pick. Like the one I had been left with after Becca jabbed me.“So I knocked him out. And brought him in for questioning.”“But you linked me?” I mutter“I hoped to get back here before you left.”“She means you were jabbed and you can still link us.” Aiden frowns as he checks Leightons jab wound.“You think he tried to inject me with the same stuff?”“We both know that Hybrids don’t always react in the same way as the others. Maybe it didn’t work on you.”“

Bella“Let me get this straight. You want to go to your father’s land. Where Christian has full control and who knows how many Rogues to help him?”“And possibly people from my fathers pack who have joined him.” He mutters as if that made it sound any better.We had pulled into a car park as I needed some air.I loop around the car as Aiden tries to explain to me his idea.“I thought that us running away, was what you wanted. To keep me safe, that’s what you kept saying and now, you want us to wander straight into the lion’s den, with him!” I point to Connor.“He won’t expect it.”“Of course he will. He has your family as prisoners. Danica probaby told him everything, so of course he will expect you to come!” I shake my head and look at Connor who Leighton was currently carrying. “You want to risk his life too?”I felt immensely protective of Connor. It was hard to explain. He was just a baby. My baby brother. I didn’t want him to experience any type of life that I have had. In some w

Bella“You let her leave.” I whisper from my spot on the floor. Every inch of me burned. It was different from being in heat. This felt like I had walked through fire. Like I had just stood in the flames as they licked my body. I couldn’t move. I didn’t want to move. The tiled floor was cold and it eased the burning.“Someone needs to tell that bastard.” Aiden snaps as he crouches by me. His hand grazes my face and his brow wrinkles into a frown. I had seen that look before. Not since we were mated, but I had seen it. The look that said he was disgusted with me.“They didn’t shift.” I mutter. “Christian and Myra, they didn’t shift.”“It doesn’t matter.” He rises up, looking around at the mess.But it did. Why didn’t they? They could have fought back. Aiden and Leighton were in chains. Why didn’t they fight back?“Can you stand?” Aiden asks, he sounded hollow.I glance at Leighton. Connor was asleep, curled into him with his head resting on Leightons shoulder. At least I had saved him
