LOGINBianca's Point of ViewThe last few days have been... peaceful.It feels strange to even think that.For the first time in what feels like forever, my phone hasn't rung with Damon's name flashing across the screen.No threats.No impossible demands.Nothing.I know it won't last.Sooner or later he'll respond to the latest alliance proposal Derek sent over, and everything will start again.But for now...I allow myself to enjoy the silence.Things between Scott and I have gotten better too.Ever since our date, everything just feels... easier.We laugh more.We spend more time together.The awkwardness between us has slowly started disappearing, replaced by something that feels comfortable.Natural.Like we are finally getting to know each other instead of trying to make up for lost time.This morning, I woke up before both Scott and Ethan.Instead of climbing back into bed, I quietly made my way into the kitchen.It wasn't anything fancy.Just scrambled eggs, bacon, toast, fresh frui
Bianca's Point of ViewI stare at myself in the mirror for what has to be the tenth time in the last five minutes.My stomach is in knots.Tonight is my first date with Scott.Even just thinking those words makes my heart race.I smooth my hands down the front of my dress before letting out a long breath."You know..."Emma says from behind me."If you keep staring at yourself like that, you're going to convince yourself something is wrong when there isn't."I glance at her through the mirror.She is sitting on the edge of my bed with Ethan happily bouncing on her lap."I just..."I sigh."I'm nervous."Emma smiles knowingly."I know."She says."It's completely normal."I bite my lip."What if it's awkward?"I ask."What if I say something stupid?"Emma laughs softly."Then Scott will probably say something equally stupid."I can't help smiling."He isn't expecting perfection, Bianca."She continues."He just wants to spend time with you."I look back at the mirror."I know..."I mur
Bianca’s Point of ViewWhile I was making my way to his office, Scott had apparently printed out the list of demands Derek sent over.The laptop is open in front of us, and the alliance proposal sits on the screen.For a second neither of us says anything and I just stare at the papers.At Damon's demands.At the latest reminder that no matter how far away I am from him, he still somehow manages to make my life difficult.Scott picks up the top page."You ready?"He asks. I let out a slow breath and nod my head."As ready as I'll ever be."I murmur."Wait."I say, Scott looks over at me."What?"He asks just as I am pulling out my phone."The list my brother sent me."I say and Scott nods his head."Good idea. Let's compare them."He says and I nod before I quickly open my messages and find the document Damon sent me.A few seconds later I place my phone down next to the papers.Scott leans closer and together we begin reading through both lists.Almost immediately we notice something
Bianca's Point of View I am sitting on the floor in Ethan's nursery, watching him happily chew on one of his toys, when my phone suddenly begins to ring. My stomach immediately drops. There is only one person who calls me. Slowly, I reach for my phone and even though I knew it was him, the moment I see Damon's name on the screen, my chest tightens. For a second, I consider letting it go to voicemail, but I can't. Not if I want to keep my mother, Emily, and Daniel safe. Taking a slow breath, I answer the call. "Hello?" "Finally." My brother snaps and my grip tightens around the phone. "I was busy with Ethan." I say quietly and Damon lets out an annoyed sigh. "Well, maybe if you spent less time playing house and more time doing what I asked, we wouldn't have a problem." He snaps again. My jaw tightens and I glance down at Ethan. He is still happily kicking his little legs, completely unaware of the conversation. Good. I never want him hearing voices like D
Scott’s Point of View For a few seconds after Bianca leaves, I just stand there, completely frozen, then slowly, a small smile pulls at my lips. I don’t even try to stop it. I lift my hand and touch my cheek where she kissed me. It was barely anything, just a small kiss, but somehow, it feels like everything, because for the first time since she came back into my life, Bianca showed me affection without hesitation. Without fear. Without overthinking it. She just did it, and then she ran away because she realized what she did. I let out a quiet laugh. That is definitely something she would do. I make my way back to my desk, and sit down, still smiling.Maybe to everyone else it would seem like nothing, but to me? It’s progress. It means she is starting to believe that maybe we can actually do this. The thought makes something in my chest loosen. I know we still have a long way to go. I am still hurt and there are definitely still things we need to talk about, but today was di
Bianca’s Point of ViewI don’t stop walking until I am halfway down the hallway.Actually, I don’t stop walking until I am pretty sure Scott can’t see me anymore.My face is burning, my heart is beating way too fast and my mind keeps replaying the exact same moment over and over again.Me standing there, looking at him, going up on my tiptoes, and kissing his cheek.What was I thinking?I press my lips together, shaking my head as I try to calm myself down.It wasn’t even a big deal.It was just a kiss on his cheek.People do that all the time.I let out a quiet sigh as I continue walking.Scott probably thinks I’m ridiculous.Or maybe he thinks I didn’t mean it.Which is somehow worse.Because I did mean it.I just didn’t think about it before I did it.And that somehow makes it even more embarrassing.I finally reach the library and push the door open.Immediately, I hear Ethan’s laughter.My entire mood softens.No matter what is happening, he always manages to make everything feel
Bianca’s Point of View I don’t know what I expected when I knocked on Sienna’s door. Maybe anger. Maybe disappointment. Maybe for her to look at me the way everyone else has been looking at me since the truth came out, but she didn’t. She was guarded, yes. I could see the hurt in her eyes, and
Bianca’s Point of View She closes the door behind us, and for a moment, we just stand there, staring at each other, the silence between us awkward and heavy.“Would you like something to drink?”She finally asks, breaking the tension.I give her a faint, grateful smile.“Water would be nice. Thank
Scott's Point of ViewAfter leaving Bianca and Ethan, I find myself wandering around the pack grounds for a while.My mind is still a mess.Nothing feels real.A few days ago I thought my mate was gone forever and now she's here and not only that, but we have a son.I rub a hand over my face and le
Scott’s Point of ViewMorning comes faster than I thought and I tiredly slip out of bed.After my phone call with Emma I thought my mind would settle down a little, but it didn't... Not really...I kept wondering if he would like me, or what it would be like to hold my son...My son... God... I sti
