Chapter: Chapter 32Epilogue Ariana Belle Two Years Later Since the fight, the pack has become stronger. It took months for us to regain our strength. We all lost loved ones. Our family. We grieved, we wept, and we became a pack filled with anger. But we overcame it. Slowly, but we did. It's strange to think that a couple years back I wanted to get away from my pack. I couldn't dream of leaving this town, my people. My family, that seemed to pop up in every direction. Like my baby doll Sunny. She's such a strong little pup. It took her almost a year to open up to Caleb and me. It was heartbreaking seeing her shy away from us, from everybody. Pack members who had known Peter, had came to visit Sunny. But that only made her pull herself farther into her shell. She wouldn't come out of her room. Unless Joey assured everybody was gone. Only then would she go out to eat, bathe, and play. Only with Joey. And then slowly she let in Zoey and Natalia. And then one night she crawled into our bed and be

Chapter: Chapter 31Ariana Belle Blood coated the cement, intoxicating the air around us. Blood from Heath's pack - from my own. All of this because of Heath's obsession. Looking around the mess of blood, injured wolves - I spotted my mate on the other side. Fighting the man who had told us that the plane was under attack. Caleb's grey t-shirt was now smeared with blood and ripped showing off his tanned stomach. Tiny pale pink scratches were visible as he fought Heath's pack. He was quick, even in human form. "Ariana!" Snapping my gaze away from my mate, I swiftly moved away from the attacker. Making him slip and crash onto the floor. "You bitch." He growled jumping to his feet. Rolling my eyes I caught Henry's glare. "How's the bite?" I smirked making sure my bloodied fangs were out to view. I could see him shiver in fear as he glanced down at his bite. It was already spreading up his arm - heading to his heart. A vampire bite to a wolf was deadly. I could only imagine how Heath was dealing.

Chapter: Chapter 30Third Person The morning light had began to fade throughout the Crimson territory when they caught the scent. The same scent they had chased like dogs for a month. Alpha Heath. He had been there and he was close. Adrian had been the one to catch his scent, and without a second thought mind linked Caleb. 'We caught his scent.' He could feel his alpha's anger through their link and shuddered at the thought of being in the receiving end of his fury. 'Where are Ariana and the twins' Adrian froze in fear before dashing through the woods, pushing his paws to their full extent. How could he have forgotten that his Luna had left the pack house. His heart thumped uncomfortably and he prayed that the security she had taken was enough to protect them. 'Adrian...' the growl echoed through his mind made him stumble on his paws and cower down in submission. 'I'm on my way to her Alpha' Caleb didn't have to say anything to Adrian. He already knew that if the Luna and the twins were in a

Chapter: Chapter 29Ariana Belle "Heath..." My arms tightened against the twins. Wishing, praying that he wouldn't set his wicked eyes on them. They stood there silent, already feeling the tension and fear. What do I do? Looking around the room there were only two exits. One, Heath was currently blocking with his body. His broad shoulders took up most of the space and his arms of course didn't help the situation. And the second was behind me, leading into the woods. What the hell am I going to do! "My beautiful mate." He chuckled his eyes brightening as he looked my body up and down. Finally resting his gaze on my neck. "Good you have not been marked. I would have killed that pup." He grinned opening his arms to me. Flinching at his words I pushed the twins farther behind me. "Heath wh-what are you doing here? Your family is worried sick about you?" I tried to sound normal only raising my brows in question. His arms flopped back down to his sides and he began walking in farther. "They are n

Chapter: Chapter 28Ariana Belle Silence. It surrounded us like smoke. Suffocating me I hugged him tighter hoping that he would respond but I got nothing, nothing but the suffocating silence. "Caleb ..." "Please tell me you rejected him."Squeezing my eyes shut I clung tighter onto him. Praying to the moon goddess that he wouldn't hate me. "Fuck! No... no ... this isn't happening." He hissed unwrapping my hold on him. Turning his back to me he pulled on his locks and let out a yell. "I'm sorry ... please stop ... I'm sorry!" I cried as his fists began to plummet the bookshelf causing all the books to tumble down. Rushing over to him I pulled his fist down and stood in front of him. Squirming with fear as his black eyes glared down into my own. "Please Caleb..." I whimpered keeping his gaze locked as I cautiously edged closer to him. I had no idea what I was begging for. For him to calm down, not to hurt himself. To forgive me. To forgive Jacob. Not to reject me. That he wouldn't hate me fo

Chapter: Chapter 27Ariana Belle My lips burned, my cold finger tips kept running over my bottom lip as I walked back to the pack house. My feet stumbling over rocks and branches on the ground. And my mind kept running back to that kiss. The feeling it held. Out of all the things I could feel through it, love was the most prominent. And it scared me. 'Don't be an idiot Ariana. We have our mate who we love.' I know I do love Caleb. I replied to my wolf calming her from her outburst. 'So why are you thinking of that pathetic lower class dog.' She growled. Anger swelled in my chest as she talked ill of Jake. No matter what I knew Jacob, and I knew he was better than half the Alphas out there. He's a beta for goodness sake! Don't Rose. I growled back quickening my steps like if I could outrun my mind, my wolf, and my feelings. 'You forget we are the same person, the same wolf, and I can see how much you are thinking of him Ariana!' Shaking my head I burst into a sprint, not caring if branches c
