~ BELLA’S POVI am done letting my emotions take the best of me. I am done feeling sorry for myself. I am done acting like the victim. I am done being weak and stupid. And most importantly I am done shedding tears because of someone undeserving. Last night was different from all the other nights I’ve spent here. I couldn’t sleep, not only because of Austin but because of everything that happened. I would have considered yesterday to be the worst day of my life but with Austin being in my life, I think I will have days worse than that. Speaking of Austin, he didn’t come back to the room last night not that I care but I am just curious why he didn’t. I have a feeling he didn’t come back because he went looking for Matt probably because the punishment he gave me wasn’t enough to cool his stupid aggression. After what Austin did to me last night, I was devastated and wanted to wash off every single part of him that hurt me, so I decided to clean myself up. And while I was in the bathro
I am trying to put two in two together but it’s giving me a hard time and I am losing my mind. I just can’t figure it out, I mean I have already agreed to my thoughts that Samaria is Austin’s ex-girlfriend but what I don’t seem to understand is how Uncle Martin knows about her.The statement he made in Austin’s study room got me even more confused. He confidently said he has known both of us his entire life and that we are birds from the same species. That sentence got me thinking about what he meant by that. I have known Uncle Martin almost my entire life but I have never encountered a time he mentioned someone named Samaria or even introduced me to someone with that name. I feel like I am missing something from this information. There is something I didn’t pay attention to but what? I stand up from the couch where I was sitting earlier, as I pace back and forth. Uncle Martin knows Austin and with how Austin was interacting with him, I can tell that they have known each other for
Jacob and I arrived at the hospital and the receptionist directed me to Layla’s room while Jacob decided to wait for me in the waiting area. "Bella." Layla says once I step my foot into the room. Her voice is soft and calm. A smile spreads across my face and I immediately go to wrap my arms around her. I missed her voice so much. That was all I had been waiting to hear, the sweet melody of her voice."Layla, I missed you so much." I kiss her forehead warping my arms around her again. I never want to let her go out of my arms. I miss hugging her and feeling her warmth. "Where have you been?" She softly asks as she pulls out of the hug. "I was at home but now I’m here." I caress her hair. I know I shouldn’t have left her alone here, she probably got very scared when she woke up and didn’t see anyone familiar around her. "You said you were going to stay with me." She says "I know, but I..." I stop talking when I see tears streaming down her face."What?" I tug her hair away from her
Days passed by like a blur and Layla seemed to be getting better. I get to see her once a week which is not something she is happy about nor I am but at least she’s gradually getting comfortable there not to mention they moved her to another room with a another patient in it who seems to be very nice to her. I’m just glad she’s not totally alone there. Speaking of not being alone, I got my wolf, Kim back. It’s not something I’m very excited about but I’m not gonna lie, I kind of missed her and I feel like things would have been much better for me if I had been able to connect to her anytime I wanted. It’s so peculiar how I don’t have the normal ability all werewolves have; to connect to their wolf. Even though Kim is back, I think she won’t stay for long. Today or next the connection will break. I don’t know what’s wrong with me but I don’t have that unbreakable deep connection with my wolf. On some days I can easily talk and relate to her but on other days, I can’t. Maybe it’s bec
I woke up to a familiar sensation of being crushed, I wriggled and pushed my shoulder backward. Austin slightly shifted his weight off me before he went around and spooned me from behind, breathing deeply into the back of my hair. I groan as his heavy arm draped over me, pinning my arms to my chest as he held my hand tightly, our fingers interlaced, and his leg was slung casually over mine.Austin really needs to work on the way he sleeps. This is the fifth time in a row he’s doing this and it’s really starting to make me uncomfortable. I just don’t understand why he can’t stay on his own side of the bed without turning around to my side. He lets out a soft snore as he breathes heavily into my hair. I roll my eyes in annoyance as the ray of sunlight peeps through the window and flashes directly on my face. The alarm I set last night starts to ring and I immediately reach to grab and turn it off. Am I the only one who sets an alarm but hates the ring sound of it? Probably not. Turin
Filled with curiosity, I asked again "Who is Samaria, Austin?" | pressed further. He lifted his gaze, eyes filled with hatred and aggression. His expression warned me that his next actions would be regrettable."Never fucking say her name again!" He growls making me flinch backwards. My heart beating out of my rib cage, I gulped the heavy lump that formed in my throat. Why is he acting this way? What is wrong with saying her name? "Don’t you dare fucking say that name again!" He repeats as aggression boosts in his eyes. I quickly nod agreeing with him.I don’t know but I feel like she did something to him. Maybe something that still burns his heart. I wait for a second for him to cool down before I speak "Austin and just wanted to-""Shut up!" He thundered cutting me off "Just shut the fuck up!" His eyes darkened in anger as he roared "Do not dare fucking say a word about her."I quickly nod again and don’t say a word as I take in his reaction. I don’t think I should be arguing wi
~ AUSTIN’S POVAs we stepped out of the room, Jacob took me to my study room where he helped me sit on the chair. He opens the cabinet and starts searching every corner of it. "Where is it?" He asks referring to my pills."I don’t know," I shrug. "Where is it Austin? You need them so tell me where it is?" He inquires "I don’t need them. I am fine." I said trying to compose my breathing. I can’t breathe well. "Austin just tell me where it is!" He yells "I-" I exhale trying to keep breathing. "I ca- can’t breathe""Hold on and tell me where the pills are," Panic laced through his voice. I open my mouth to speak but clasp it shut as I become unable to speak. I struggle with my breathing before I finally muster the energy to speak "L- last cabinet by t-the left side," I said. He quickly opened the cabinet, threw out the files inside it, and brought out a pill bottle. He took two pills out of the bottle before handing it to me along with a glass of water. "Take it." He insists.I gro
~ BELLA’S POVJacob is lying to me. I don’t buy any of his claims. It's clear that he is trying to hide something because his story doesn't align with what actually happened. I saw it with my own eyes, and there's no way Austin's wolf could have been out of control. There's got to be something Austin and Jacob are hiding but, what could it be? "We need to dig deeper to find out!" Kim tells me "I know but how? No one is saying anything." I respond "How about the maids?""That’s a total waste of time, nobody is gonna say anything no matter how I try to get them to talk. All of them are under restrictions except…." I trail off when a sudden idea rings in my head. Jacob.I can use Jacob. I mean he knows everything and he seems friendly to me so maybe I can get him to say something. I know he won’t like it but I have no other options right now. "I don’t know about that. I don’t think it’s not a good idea. Jacob will be pissed when he finds out," Kim said "I know but do we have any ot
