Bella’s POV

I found Ronan sitting alone on the porch steps, staring out at nothing in particular, a mug of coffee gone cold in his hands.

“You’ve been here for a while " I said, sitting down on the step next to him without asking for permission. The morning air still had the cold from the night and I pulled my sleeves over my hands looking at him closely to see what was making his face look so empty.

“I couldn’t sleep " he said. He didn’t look at me his eyes were on something beyond the trees.

    Bella’s POVI found Ronan sitting alone on the porch steps, staring out at nothing in particular, a mug of coffee gone cold in his hands.“You’ve been here for a while " I said, sitting down on the step next to him without asking for permission. The morning air still had the cold from the night and I pulled my sleeves over my hands looking at him closely to see what was making his face look so empty.“I couldn’t sleep " he said. He didn’t look at me his eyes were on something beyond the trees. "I kept thinking about the letter. About how she has been watching us all this time. Every decision we thought was our own.”“That’s not really what is keeping you awake though is it.”He stayed quiet for a time and when he finally spoke his voice was rough, in a way I don’t hear from him very often."I keep thinking about the mask coming off " he said. "About your face when you realized it was me. I've replayed that moment times than I can count and every single time some part of me still tries

    Draven’s POVThe dog kept barking, sharp and insistent, and I was moving before Bella had fully registered what the sound meant."Stay here " I said and I was already putting on my boots."Draven " I called out to her."Stay please " I told her and I looked into her eyes. I tried to stay calm even though I was getting really worried. "If everything is okay I will be back in five minutes.. If something is wrong I need to know that you are safe inside not standing outside with me where something bad could happen."Draven did not say anything and that told me how tired we both were.Thor was waiting for me at the east fence of the compound. He already had his crossbow with him. I could see that he was really tense like he was ready, for something to happen."There " he said, pointing toward the tree line. "Something moved. It might be an animal. It might be something "We moved slowly carefully all our senses focused on the dark beyond the fence. The dog had stopped making noise which wo

    Bella’s POV“I’m not leaving,” my aunt said, “if that’s what you’re bracing yourself to hear.”I let out a breath that I did not know I was holding.Then what were you preparing me for I asked her.The end of answers she said. She held the teacup tighter in her hands. I meant that I cannot stay here forever hiding behind your walls while you are fighting a war that I helped start a time ago before you were even born. I owe your family more than hiding. I just do not know what that means I should do. I did not want you to think that I would run away again as soon as things got tough.Something in my chest felt better like a weight was lifted off. I felt relieved. I understood her. I looked at her face still noticing all the things that remind me of my mother, who I barely remember. I am still surprised when I see parts of myself in her face even though she is a stranger, to me.“Take whatever time you need to figure it out,” I said.“You’re not required to have every answer today.”She

    Bella’s POVShe looked really thin standing inside the gate with Thors hand still near her arm. He did not trust her enough yet to let her walk freely through the compound. The weeks since she was at the keep had taken a lot out of her. There were circles under her eyes that were not there before and she was really careful about how she moved. It was like she was waiting for something to happen."Bella."That was all I said. I said it like I was not sure if I would get to say it. I walked across the yard before I even thought about it. I stopped a few feet away from her. I was still a little careful around her."You are alive " I said. "They let you go.""They did not let me do anything " she said. She was really tired. She did not even try to smile. "I left the night you did. Once it was quiet and nobody was watching the door I just walked out. I have been learning how to hide for thirty years. It was useful this time."Draven appeared next to me. I could tell he was really tense. "Y

    Bella’s POVWe talked until the fire in Draven’s study burned down to embers, neither of us willing to be the one who left the conversation unfinished."I was thinking out loud because it was not helping me to think about it quietly in my mind " I said. The pressure does not get better if I stay. It probably gets worse the longer she sees the Artificial Intelligence system hold together despite everything she is doing to us.Draven said ". If you leave." His voice was very calm. I could tell it was hard for him to ask the question. "Tell me what you really think will happen if you leave the Artificial Intelligence system " he said.I think some of the pressure eases, at least in front of others. The story changes. Maybe some of the deals come back once it seems like the two of us aren't together anymore for her to focus on as one person. I hated how logical the words felt even as I said them hated the pain of seeing Draven’s face stay calm while something clearly hurt him to hear. ".

    Draven’s POVThe old rogue coalition dissolved on a Tuesday, the message arriving through Frey, terse and final.We are sorry to let you know that the coalition can no longer stay connected to your area because of problems. This choice is not about you personally.I read the message three times feeling the pain of seeing an alliance I had worked two years to create step by step carefully working through every negotiation fall apart because of one message that took less time to write than it did to read. I remembered every meeting it had taken to get their trust at the beginning every offer I made every late night spent showing I was good enough, for an alliance that had never been as strong as I thought it was.Thor stood across the desk from me. Said "This is the sixth one this month". He was clearly frustrated. He was trying to stay calm. We have lost a lot of connections like the people who supply us with things and some of the groups that used to send their kids to us to learn.I

    Bella's POV I have waited patiently for days, waiting for Draven to come and visit me as he promised, but I haven't seen him since then.
