Sixty One.

Aiden The hate and the anger made me feel like I did when Ivy died all those years ago. An empty hole had been created in my heart. I tear through the house, looking for my father and my mother. There were no signs of them anywhere. I knew my father was dead. I felt the shift of power. But mum, there was every chance she was still alive. Would Linc really have let someone kill a pregnant woman? He had adored my mum. Leighton is in the kitchen alone. “Where’s Bella?” I ask, looking around the room. “She left.” He doesn’t quite meet my gaze. “What do you mean, she left?” “She took Connor and left.” “When?” “About an hour ago, when you were stomping around the house." “Why didn’t you stop her? I asked you to keep her safe.” “Safe from them or from you?” He mutters, glaring at me. “What the hell is that supposed to mean?” “She’s right, isn’t she? She has to be, she can sense what you are feeling.” “Leighton?” I snap “You blame her for what has happened.” “What? No I don’t.

Sixty Two.

Bella“Why did you burn them?” Amanda asks as I concentrate on the road.I wasn’t a driver and the last thing I needed to do was kill us all. Especially as the rain appeared to be getting heavier by the second.“It’s what the King does.” I mutter as the car slides around the corner. I hadn't thought about it. After the attack it just seemed like the logical thing to do. Burn the evidence.“Your Wolf is massive.”“I know.”“Why?”“I don’t know. I wasn’t even sure if I could shift.”"But you did and there were so many of them.""I know, I was there." The Rogues had just kept coming. One after another, attacking us from all angles. I was exhausted, but I couldn't stop.“I miss being able to shift.” she muttersI would probably have said the same if it had been taken away from me completely. Yet, somehow, the drug never had a lasting effect. And I still didn't know why.“Does he have a name?” I mutter as she keeps her child clutched to her chest.“No, I’ve been too scared to name him, j

Sixty Three.

Aiden“What do you mean by ‘he’s there’? Who?” I demand“That’s all she said.” Leighton mutters. “Where is ‘there’?” I shouldn’t have to ask him to give me all the information.“I don’t know. She didn’t say anything else. And she won’t answer me.”Whatever it was, it didn’t feel like she was scared. There wasn’t an ounce of panic in our bond. But it still frustrated me how she thought she could handle everything on her own. She didn't have to anymore.“Do you think she is talking about Linc? She’s never met the guy. How would she know it’s even him?”He stares straight at me, cocking an eyebrow. “Because he is the one responsible for all of this! What other man could it be? Cedric is dead, Christian is dead. Her father is dead. It’s kinda obvious who it is.”“Right.” I mutter in annoyance. “Just go and get one of the cars. I have to find her.”He shakes his head at me and hurries away, back into the forest.‘Bella?’ I try linking her again. She was still closed off, refusing to talk

Sixty Four.

BellaI don’t know how long I was asleep before I wake to find Aiden staring at me. His arm draped over my waist, his fingers slowly circling my skin just above my hip. He was warm and comforting, it overrode the anger I had towards him and I hated it. Why would the Moon Goddess create such a bond? Why would she make women feel the need to be safely wrapped in a man’s arms? Like we were unable to defend ourselves?“What are you doing?” I whisper with frustration in the dark bedroom. I was well aware Connor was asleep nearby and didn’t want to wake him.“You were….”“Don’t do that. Don’t blame my nightmares. Don’t use them as an excuse.”I lift his arm off of my waist and slide out from underneath it. Tiptoeing across the room. I check on Connor. He was still fast asleep but he was in a different outfit to what I had put him to bed in.“I was trying to say that you have been asleep for almost forty eight hours.” Aiden whispers.“What?” I was so confused. “Forty eight hours?” It didn’t

Sixty Five.

Aiden.Her golden orbs lock onto mine. Her lips press tightly together as she stares at me. The longer she stares without saying anything, the more it makes me feel uncomfortable. Maybe I had pushed it too far this time.As usual, her emotions seem to be all over the place. Never hanging on to one long enough for me to know how she felt.It took me long enough to realise that she had spent her childhood, bottling up every emotion she felt. Never truly being allowed to experience something because she would be punished for it. The result was her not being able to deal with certain situations.I needed her to talk to me.She glances down at my hand curled around her wrist. She doesn’t tug it away like she had been doing.Slowly, her eyebrows knit together until she is scowling. “Let go.”“Not until you talk to me!”She twists her arm, trying to escape my grip. My hand wasn’t gripping her tight enough to cause any burns, but it also wasn’t loose enough for her to easily get away.“I’ve s

Sixty Six.

BellaI find myself just staring at the mug of hot chocolate. I had placed it on the desk in the bedroom and sat in the chair, staring at it, like it was going to explode at any moment. It was a simple gesture on his behalf, but one that means alot to me. It smelt like him. There’s a soft knock on the door. When I don’t respond, the handle starts to turn and the door creaks open.Amanda smiles at me. “I just wanted to check that you were okay after everything.”“He didn’t come, if that’s what you are asking?”She places a hand on her chest. “Thank the Goddess for that!”She steps further into the room and quietly closes the door. Her brown eyes scan the room as if she is waiting for someone to jump out on her.“Did you ever meet him?” I ask. She didn't talk about her time in the dungeons, but then neither did I.“Linc? No. I saw the inside of the dungeons and the inside of a small room. I was then moved to a house, full of other pregnant women. We never got to see the man behind it a

Sixty Seven.

AidenBella takes a moment to process what I had said. We both knew I was right. If she was going to kill me, she would have already tried, regardless of the request Linc had made. She wouldn’t have killed me because someone else wanted me dead, it would have been because she wanted me dead.She puffs out her cheeks “Maybe you are right.”‘You once told me that you would kill me in my sleep. Yet I will happily lay next to you, knowing full well that you won’t.’ I mutter through mind link‘So I have to talk to you this way all the time now?’‘Not all the time, just about the stuff we don’t want Amanda hearing.’Her head bobs up and down ‘I can do that.’She continues to study me. Her mind was still chaotic and as usual impossible to read. I wondered sometimes if she was like that so no one could get into her head. Always thinking, always planning. The times it was quietest was when she slept against my chest. But she rarely had what I would consider happy memories.“I’m still annoyed.”

Sixty Eight.

BellaDanica keeps talking through her tears. Blabbering on about how she is sorry as she rocks my brother in her arms.Aiden keeps her talking, though she was starting to slip. Information leaking through the gaps as she is no longer able to keep up with her own lies.“Were you told to say that?” I ask as I keep my eyes firmly on my brother. He was relaxed in her grip. It made sense, she was his mother. But her finger tips are pure white. Holding onto him like he was going to be taken from her at any second or that he was some kind of prized possession. “No, I had to tell you. You have been so kind to me, both of you, Leighton too.”“Why did you wait so long?” Aiden demands. “Why didn’t you come clean before?”She looks down at Connor, kissing the top of his head. She rests her cheek on him, closing her eyes as she sways side to side.“You’ve known me for a long time, Bella.”“What the hell are you talking about?”Her blue eyes go to Aiden, “You too. You just didn’t know me other th

Sixty Nine.

Bella“Pain?” I mutter. “Haven’t you caused him enough pain, you killed his sister, you killed his father. You hold his mother hostage.”His dark eyes bore into mine. His deathly smell felt like it was sucking my soul from me.“It’s not enough, Bella. Oh no, it's not nearly enough.”Not enough, how could it be not enough?“You said you killed your mate!” I splutter "It wasn't Aiden."“That is correct. She was the first love of my life. Intriguing and frustrating. I killed her to protect Lilah. We have discussed this.”“What does that have to do with Aiden? If you are the one who killed her.”“I never said it has anything to do with my first love.”Glancing back at Aiden, I was desperate for him to wake up. Neither of them were telling me the truth but I needed to know what it was that Aiden did. What could it have been for Linc to take revenge like this?“He didn’t kill your mate, but he killed someone you loved. Someone close to you.”“And the little Wolf figures it out!” He smiles a

Seventy.

AidenHer golden eyes shine bright as she gazes back at me. All this time, she had kept fighting. Trying to overcome the odds. Even when things were rough, she tried something else. Yet, now she seemed prepared to give up, like she had decided dying was the only option. It wasn’t like her and if I couldn’t scent our bond, I would have been sure a Shifter was standing in front of me, not the Bella I know.“You have your Wolf. He doesn’t know what your Wolf looks like.” I try, hoping that she would find the fight she usually had.She slowly nods but doesn’t speak. Rising to her feet, she heads to the door. “I’m going to check on Connor.”“Sure, I will check on Theo.”She scowls. “Theo isn’t here.”“What are you talking about? Are you trying to say he got up and walked away?” I smile, trying to break the tension.She looks down and blicks a few times,“Um, he took Theo. Theo is his son.”“I thought….”“We all thought that Christian was the father, because that's what Aman…Danica told us.
