Bella blinked in shock for a couple of seconds before straightening her posture and realizing that Damon was indeed there, standing in front of her.At first, she was a bit scared but then she narrowed her eyes and snapped, "Are you following me?"Damon already looked pretty agitated. As soon as she asked the question, he spat, "What am I your dog? Following you around? In your fucking dreams!""Bastard." Bella turned her face away and muttered through suppressed breaths while trying to tame down the anger. "What did you just call me?" Damon snapped.Bella turned her face back to meet his gaze but did not answer. Fucking werewolf hearing!

Have you ever experienced sleep paralysis? The feeling that has you feeling like you are falling in a deep black hole, unable to move your limbs and unable to do anything but experience the moments filled with terror and hopelessness and frustration?As Bella stood stock still in her place, this was the exact feeling running through her veins. Her mind had gone numb in those moment, the voice around her fading into the dark depth of stillness, rendering her alone, speechless and in extreme shock. And even though there was a storm of stillness inside her, the sharp claws of pain gashed down at her heart relentlessly.Did he know what she was feeling? Had he done it on purpose?Roman stared at the young woman in front of him. He knew that the girl and his alpha had the bond that can not

Bella rushed towards the washroom as her breaths became uneven and it became harder for her to breathe properly. She was not going to show him that today she had just lost something she did not even know she had inside her heart for him. Even though he had refused to accept her as his mate from day one, she could not believe that he had gotten engaged to someone else in front of her eyes. She felt like he had slapped her without touching her. As tears threatened to fill her eyes, she turned on the tap and splashed the water on her face until the cold had numbed her senses and she could not feel anything. Once she had better control over her breathing, she turned the tap off, patted her face with the tissue, reapplied her lipstick, and came out of the washroom. She had barely stepped outside when a hand shot out and grabbed her arm, pu

"This one is fine." Bella picked up a Samsung mobile from the table, sliding away the apple one back towards the seller, and looked at Roman, "can we go to the college now? I am getting late."Roman paid for the phone and as soon as the set up of it was done, they walked out of the store."Is it necessary for you to drive Bently to drop me off?" Bella hesitated as she looked at the classy ride, "don't you have something like a Swift or any other normal car?"Roman turned his head to look at her, his eyes behind the black shades glowing under the sun, "what do you think my answer is going to be?"Bella rolled her eyes and slid in the passenger seat. Roman was just as frustrating as Damon. A bit less. But almost on the same level.

Bella was sitting outside on the swing placed outside her house caressing the finger which was not swollen because of the tight ring. Her eyes were staring at the moon. Her heart in pain because of the devil who had left to sleep in the guest room upstairs. She was no longer as afraid of him as the thought of her family dying by his hands scared her. She knew he was merciless and that was the only reason that brought tears on her cheek that she wiped away almost instantly. Her gaze turned to Renee who sat right beside her.  "I know about Damon, Bella." Renee finally spoke up in a low tone, "your parents told me everything, and clearly... you are not happy at all." Bella put her hand on Renee's lap in an attempt to find some kind of assurance, "Where can I go, Renee? What should
