Creed turned around and looked back at the water. “Instead of turning away from me, why don’t you tell me what’s really bothering you.” I stared at his back and waited for him to turn around to face me. “What do you mean? You know why I’m upset.” “No, I don’t. I know you’re lying to yourself. You’re not really mad at Dawson or me. We agreed not to keep any more secrets from each other, but you’re hiding something. I can feel it.” “All I’m trying to do is protect my mate.” Creed shook his head as he finally turned around to face me. “Creed, I appreciate the effort, but I don’t need any more bodyguards. I can take care of myself and if I need it, I have plenty of back up. What I need is someone that will stand beside me and let me figure my life out.” I stood up and walked closer to him. I need to make sure I have his full attention. “I’ve been protected my whole life. I need to experience things. I’ve also known forever that this mark has a meaning. It’s time to figure out what it

I looked around at the mirrors surrounding me. I’m alone. Always alone to be the only witness of the destruction that I know will play in these mirrors. I stared at my reflection, and my heart started racing as I thought of the last show I watched in those mirrors. If my family is getting attacked, I need to figure out who’s behind it. Who are the blurred images?I waited for what felt like an eternity. My image finally started blurring, but it’s not my family that’s reflecting back at me this time. It’s Creed, bloody and bruised. He screamed as the chains that held him rattled. The mirrors surrounding him played images of burning buildings and people running. I can hear their screams, their innocent. Just as fast as they came, the images vanished. They were replaced by a battle, but I don’t recognize anyone. The image of a black wolf is positioned above the battle in the mirror. An image of a vampire was on the mirror next to it. I can hear screams of pain and heartbreak as I watc

“Where are you guys,” I linked Ryker as soon as my class ended.“Me and Ezra are in our room, Drake will be back soon.”“OK, I’m on my way.” The boys have a nice suite in Raven Hall. They live together, but all three of them have their own rooms, and they have a small kitchen and living room in between their bedrooms.Luckily, I made it to their room on the third floor without running into Creed. Ryker had the door propped open for me.“What happened? You don’t usually just drop in to see us.”“Nothing really happened, but I do need to talk to you guys. I had another dream last night, but this time I talked to the Moon Goddess.” I sat my book bag on the floor and sat down on the couch.Ryker and Ezra both sat down across from me.“What did she say?” Ryker asked.I went through the whole story with them, including what Reese said in class. I noticed Ryker kept rubbing his thumb under his chin, which is something he does when he’s nervous. On top of that, the two of them kept glancing a

Dawson must have noticed how annoyed I was. After we walked into my room, he wrapped his arm around me and turned me to face him.“Hey, are you sure your OK,” Dawson watched my expression as I hesitated.“Yah, I’m fine. Rowen lost control of his wolf when he first got here. I didn't expect it, and it shook me up a little, but I handled it.”I watched Dawson’s expression change as he noticed my arm. He put his hand under my elbow and lifted my arm up for a better view.“Is he responsible for this?”I nodded, “yes, his wolf was in control, and I was trying to throw him out. He wouldn’t let go of my arm when I started fighting him. This is the result. I’m not worried about it. By tomorrow it will be healed.”I watched Dawson’s expression as he examined my arm and looked back up at me. I can’t tell if he’s concerned or pissed.“Bella, I know I said I would rather share you than not have you at all, but I don’t like this. I don’t think you should be around him at all, at least not alone. H

“Come with me. There’s something I want to show you.” Creed continued staring into my eyes as he tucked a piece of my hair behind my ears. He’s trying to distract me, and it’s working. I blinked my eyes and looked away to pull myself out of the trance I fall into every time I look into his eyes. I looked around at everyone, “what’s it going to be? Do you agree to leave him alone for a while?”I watched as the boys all looked at each other. “Whatever you’re planning you might as well say out loud.”Ryker smirked, “I get what you’re saying, Bella. I’ll make a deal with you. If you go with Creed and just let us have a chat with Rowen, I promise we won’t kill him. That’s the best I can do. I want to see for myself what kind of control issues he has.”I thought about it for a minute. I know the boys are trying to investigate all three of my mates undetected and this could help. Besides, I’ll be with the one that I’m most worried about. The boys won’t kill him. It’s not their style. Creed
