Chapter 6
“What are you talking about?” Kevin asked, his eyes widened.
“I know this is so sudden, but I have prepared you for this kind of situation right from the start,” she stared at him.
“You know that isn’t what I am talking about, Bella,” he stared back at her.
“What will happen to us?” he asked. “How do you want me to cope?”
“Kevin-,”
“Don’t tell me you didn’t think about us when you made your decision?”
“Kevin,” she whispered. “I’m so sorry.”
“You have to understand that I don’t have a say in this matter,” she paused. “My hands are tied here.”
“Don’t tell me you don’t have a choice. Everyone does,” Kevin yelled.
“Kevin!” she snapped at him. “If I had a choice, I would choose to stay here, because I can’t bear to leave everything I have built for years.
“But you have to believe me when I tell you I have no choice but to return home.”
“Bella…”
“I can only promise you that once everything is back to normal, I will come back to find you.”
Kevin stood up from his seat, he walked over to her and pull her up.
“You promise?” He placed his hand on the small of her back and pull her closer to his chest.
“I promise,” she smiled at him for just a second, before keeping a serious face.
“You also have to promise me something.”
“Anything,” he smiled at her. “If it is for you, I would do anything.”
“If I take too long to return, promise me you will move on?”
“Is there something you are not telling me?”
“No!” she blurted, and he narrowed his eyes at her.
“I mean… no,” she said in a calm voice. “I don’t know what could happen, but I want you to be prepared for anything.”
She placed a finger on his lip to silence him.
“I give you custody of this hospital. I trust you will take care of it in my absence.”
“Bella,” he croaked.
“I can’t trust anyone else to do the job.”
“How do I know you won’t be coming back?”
“You will know,” was all she said.
He nods his head; his eyes grew wistful as he stared at her small pink lips.
She smiled, knowing the thoughts running through his head. She stood on her toe and place her lip on his. He pulls her closer as he deepens the kiss.

A WEEK LATER
Bella walked out of the terminal of Toronto airport; her phone pressed to her ear as she got into the hired car that was there to pick her up.
“Yes, I am back in Toronto Kevin… I was able to convince them to let you take over until further notice… They promise to always send their specialist to Toronto whenever you need them… Of course, you can call me… I am sorry Kev, I can’t disclose my location for safety reasons, even our calls will be limited but I’ll try to get in touch… I’m sorry I didn’t tell you the whole truth, but yes, I am in danger. It is why I can’t tell you my location even though we are both in the same city…”
The line went dead for a while, and her heart skipped a beat, thinking he hung up on her. She was about to pull the phone away from her ear when his gruff voice filled it.
A smile stretches her lip.
“I promise Kev, I will take care of myself… I love you too.”
She hung up and turn her face to the window side, watching the trees and house whoosh past her. Her mind drifted off to the last time she left her home.
^^^^^^^
“Please mom, don’t chase me out,” tears trickled down her little cheek.
“I didn’t give birth to a nuisance. You wanted to live with the humans, right?” Her mother snapped at her.
“Now is the chance for that, you can go to hell for all I care. I don’t want to see you near my house anymore.”
It felt like a dream to her.
How did things go wrong?
As far as she remembered, werewolves don’t like associating with humans and humans have no idea that they exist. But being the kind of girl she is, she always craves whatever is forbidden to the wolf generation.
Her eyes moved across the crowd, searching for someone. Her frown deepens as her eyes settled on his little form.
She knew at once that he was the one who ratted her out to her parents when she saw the smirk on his lip. Her heart plummets down to her stomach.
She had trusted him with her secret, but he backstabbed her. He made the whole pack hate her for wanting to live with the human. He made her childhood experience a terrible one.
He unleashed the bitch in her, and she spend her teenage and youthful days getting her revenge on him.
Of course, he retaliated. She remembered vividly the accident that cemented their hatred.
“We are here, ma’am,” the taxi driver called back her attention.
She lifts her head to stare at the gigantic building in front of her.
“Thank you,” she whispered as she stretches her card to him.
She got out of the car, and a few minutes later, the driver came out too. He returned the card to her and brought out her bag from the booth.
She thanked him and watched him drive away before turning to look at the building again, which stood in place of the old cottage that used to be her hiding place. Whenever she felt the need to cry and didn’t want to break down in front of her parents or the pack members, she would come here and cry her eyes out.
The memories brought fresh tears to her eyes; her hand tightened on her bag as she awaits the pack member who would come to pick her up. But no one could have prepared her for what happened.
“Look who we have here?”
Her body stiffened, her hand tightened on the bag, and her eyes widened.
That voice! She would recognize it anywhere.
Hi everyone. I am glad you pick up my book to read, if you like it, do add it to your library, vote and leave a comment on it. Thank you.
Chapter 7_EARLIER_“What news do you have for me?” Lucas asked, his eyes darted over the men in front of him.“Alpha-,” Carlos was saying when he was interrupted.“Don’t tell me you still haven’t caught this female rogue?” he glared at him.“No! I mean yes,” Carlos said.“We tried everything in our power to catch her, but it seems she just disappeared into thin air.”“What do you mean she disappeared?“I mean, we can’t find her anymore; her scent is gone, and her trails are dead. We can’t find anything that would make us know where she is or where to look for her.”“And you didn’t deem it fit to tell me what is going on?”“I am so sorry alpha, we wanted to see if she would show up again, so we didn’t want to give you unconfirmed news.”“When did you notice her trai
Chapter 8The slamming of the door made Lucas know that Iris already left his room, he rubs his hand over his face.His wolf had been acting weird since he woke up, he knew he was grumpy, but he couldn't place his finger on why he is so angry.Everything seems to offend him, he looked down at the speech for the opening of the new hotel and his eyes dimmed."What is wrong with you?" He snapped at his wolf.The stupid mutt snorted and continue with his rampage in his head. He shoves down all the documents on his table and turns away from it.He pulled on a black shirt and walked out of his bedroom, ignoring Cruz who was trying to catch up with him.His hand crossed at his back; he made his way down the spiralling staircase to the fifth floor of the castle.The guards pushed the door open, and he stepped out in a fast stride. The urge to shift surges through him and without waiting to take off his clothes, he starts
Chapter 9"What just happened?" Bella asked herself.She had no explanation except for the fact that everything that had been happening around her is crazy."We can't be mate," she blurted out. "This has to be a mistake.""And why is that?" He asked in an impeccable voice"Because..." She trails off.What excuse did she have aside from the fact that he was her sworn enemy, there was absolutely nothing she could use as an excuse."Because we are sworn, enemies?" Lucas inquired, raising his brows at her and she gasp."I know that already," he glared at her."And oh! Not once since you leave did, I forget what you did, nor will I ever forgive you for it.""Alpha?" Someone called behind him.He turns his head to see Ramos standing behind him, he looked conflicted as if he didn't know what to do at the moment."Why are you here?" He snapped at the man."Luna asked me to bring miss Bella to the pack
Chapter 10Athena stared into space; she couldn't get Bella's word out of her head. She had thought he hated her because she sent him away from the pack.What she didn't know is that he hated her before then._EARLIER_"You didn't know he hated you back then?" Bella had asked."I had no idea, I thought he hated me for sending him away," she exclaimed."I don't know what happened between the two of you, but I know Lucas hated you since he was a little boy.”"Did he tell you why he hated me?" Athena asked."He told me one night and that was the last time he ever mention it."What did he say?" She asked."He was angry because you did not even try to save him from his father's wrath," Bella began."As a young boy that was suffering so much, he wanted to feel loved, and he craved his mother's warmth. But he didn't get any of this from both his parents."And then you would get him dressed, saying swe
Chapter 11“How did she take it?” Landon asked when his wife walked into the house.Reina had tears in her eyes, she had been crying since she went to see Bella.She still remembers all her conversations with her.“What happened Reina, what did you say to each other?” Landon shook his wife who wouldn’t stop crying“What happened Reina!? Why are you crying?” His mind went blank at once, and terrible thoughts run through his mind.“Did something bad happen to her? Is she alright?” He roams her face, and she nods her head negatively.“Talk to me, what did you talk about and why are you crying?”Reina slipped to the ground; she clutches the hem of her dress tighter as her sob rack through her.“You are scaring me,” Landon muttered, he wanted to stop her from crying, but he didn’t even know what caused it.“She hates us,” Re
Chapter 12Bella pulled Elena close to her, engulfing her in her arm, and the two of them cried on each other's shoulder.She couldn't believe Elena will still be alive till today, she had seen first has the terrible thing the rogue did you her and everyone thought she would die.It was not one of the reason why she wanted to be a doctor all along."You are still alive?" Elena cried, and Bella shook her head on her shoulder."I am still alive," she sniffed."I can't believe I was in a coma for two years," she rasped. "I woke up a month after you left, and you can't imagine my surprise when I was told you left."What happened? Why did you leave?""It's a long story," Bella said, as the memories assault her all over."Good thing I have all the time in the world," Elena smiled.Bella pulled away from the hug, and stared at her."I can't believe you survived it," she cooed, her eyes glistening with new tears."I also didn
Chapter 13“What!? How dare she comes here and throw off my order?” Iris bellowed.The maid who had reported to her flinched at her tone, she got her knee in front of her.“Where is she?”The maid stood up from the ground and led Iris to where Bella was taking care of Sarai in the packhouse. A lot of the pack members have gathered there, they were astonished to see someone take care of the slaves.Without knowing it, she captured the heart of many pack members at once, they moved forward to help her with whatever she needed as she cleans up Sarai’s wound.The wound heals up completely after giving her a shot and that seems to baffle the members, they murmured amongst themselves. She smiled to herself secretly.No one understood but this is exactly why she wanted to go to the human lands to learn about their technology. Alpha Colton [ Lucas’s father] did not give chance to civilization when he was st
Chapter 14“Alpha wants to be left alone, he asked you to leave until he summons you,” the guard at the door told Iris.“Did you tell him I am the one requesting an audience with him?” she asked.“I did,” the guard bobbed his head in response.“Go back and tell him it is important I speak to him right now,” she demanded.“He specifically asks not to be disturbed Miss; I don’t want to get him angry.”She was suddenly in his face, looking down at him like a lion would look at his prey.“I will let the guards tear you limb for limb, I will watch with satisfaction as you plead for your life and then set you on fire. But before then,” she paused. “I’ll do you the honour of letting you watch as your family die a gruesome death before I end you.”She stepped back from him, she could see the fear in his eyes and that brought a smile to her f
