Bella’s POVThe sun is up and I’m more than a little sore. I’m in Stone’s room. I look around and it’s like a time capsule. His parents never changed a thing. I turn over to maybe wake him up with a kiss, but the bed is empty.I grip the sheets as panic sets in. I mated with him more than once unprotected. We fucked like I was in heat, he left me again.That piece of shit! Erik will never forgive me. I mean, he might forgive me for one lust fueled fuck, but I’m used, pathetic, dirty. I lost my mate and the love of my life. I can’t run a pack! I can’t even run my own life.I lay back, ready to sink into my shame; when the door opens, and I scent Stone. I sit up and he has a food tray and my bag. Now, I will look like a slut and an idiot.“Good morning, my love,” Stone smiles. “Breakfast, your clothes, and your phone.”“So, everyone knows?” I ask.“Erik knows. He and I talked, made peace, we agreed to let you tell your family and everyone. He is leaving hopefully with no one seeing him.

Stone’s POVWhen the plane hits the tarmac, Bella holds me back while everyone else deplanes.“What is it baby?” I ask as she straddle me.“Why didn’t you tell me any of that?” She asks, settling on my lap.“You had me blocked on everything,” I tell her honestly.“You could have told Slate, or the guys,” she tells me, holding my shirt.I bite my lip not wanting to tell her. But as we look into each other’s eyes, she understands.“You were afraid it was one of them?” I see tears about to fall, so I lean up and kiss her pulling her close.“Baby, I cleared them for the most part. But keeping you safe is the only thing I care about. So, I played it close to the vest. It was actually one of TJ’s guys. I didn’t even get the chance to deal with him, TJ did it,” I tell her, and she pulls me close to kiss me.“Thank you for keeping me safe,” she tells me.“It's the reason I breathe,” I tell her, going back in for another kiss.“Oh, hell to the no,” Raymond says as he enters the plane.“Ray, he

Bella’s POVOnce Stone hangs up the phone, I know I have one chance before Ahab hops the boat, sailing away.“Raymond, tell Jack to call Safehaven for our pack. Tristian is going to come straight for me or Lesley, maybe both. He clearly has a new backer,” I order, and I hold on to Stone’s arms. “Stone, we need to get Tellie and Slate to call Safehaven here too. Tristian has a plan and it's to separate us. Let’s not give him the chance.”Stone is shaking with anger, but nods.We pull Tellie and Slate off the dance floor along with the other Alphas in attendance. Including Erik.“I got a call from the FBI, Tristian escaped with the help of 50 or so wolves,” Stone explains.“Slate, we called Safehaven at Bazin, I suggest everyone does the same,” Bella says.“Bella, you are not safe,” Erik says.“I know, I’m flying back to Bazin to meet him head on with Stone,” I hold Stone’s hand and feel him pulling away slightly. “He and I will do what we should have done five years ago. We will work as

Bella’s POV“You okay,” Stone asks me as soon as we are alone.The sun is up now, and we all ate breakfast as a pack, before we all head to bed.“I’m exhausted,” I tell him as I drag myself to the shower.“I am too, but I was thinking about what the goddess said about you carrying the next generation of Conroy Alpha,” Stone chases me to bathroom.I giggle as we shower together. We make love in the shower, before crashing into bed.Justin- Alpha.Me- In mindlink, you can call me Bella.Justin- I was speaking to Alpha Stone.Stone- Sleeping.Justin- Your parents are here with Bella’s.Stone- Sleeping naked.Justin- My favorite way to sleep too. Do you want me to put them in an Alpha suite.Me- Yes. We will be up in a few minutes.Stone- Why the hell are you awake, man?Justin- Father of two, under three, I’ll sleep next decade.I laugh and feel Stone pulling me closer.“Do we have to get up?” Stone moans into my neck.“Yes, your parents are here,” I snuggle into him.“I don’t care. I wan

Bella’s POV“YES, STONE,” I smile and squeal as he puts the ring on my finger. We kiss and I hear cheers and squeals.I look around as the lights dim to see everyone is here. My parents, his parents, my grandparents, my great-granddad’s, my sister, my friends, my cousins, my Aunt and Uncles. Everyone is here.Stone takes my hand and we greet our guests before we all go inside. “OH!” I gasp. The inside of the villa is covered in flowers, candles, lights, a DJ, food, everything for a hell of a party. “Its your engagement party,” Lesley tells me handing me a glass. A photographer goes around and takes photos. I am looking around at everyone and the room. It’s perfect. We dance, sing, laugh, eat, drink repeat for hours.. “Did I do well?” Stone asks as we drive back home. “You kept your promise?” I reach over and run my hand through his hair. We make it home and spend the rest of our night making love until we collapse.“Its 4:30,” Ryan sings from out door. “Go away or I will get ou
