I arrive at the spot, the place where Matt and I are going to meet. We call it our spot because it’s a very special place, It’s where we had our very first date, shared our first kiss and we've spent countless hours here together.

Climbing up the stairs to the rooftop of the tallest tower in town, I quickly glance behind me to make sure no one's following. Even though it's not allowed to come up here, Matt and I always manage to find a way up there to just take in the incredible view.

I open the door to the rooftop and closed it immediately. Scanning my environment, I take off my hat and sunglasses. I had to wear those so no one recognizes me, now that I’m sort of married to the Lycan king, eyes are going to be on me and I can not afford anyone to see me here with Matt or worse let Austin know about it. It’s bad enough we just argued about my dress, I don’t want to have another argument with him.

As I hear the familiar voice call my name from behind, a rush of relief washes over me.

    Using the towel to gently rub my hair, I walk out of the bathroom feeling refreshed. I approach the mirror and as I reach for my hair dryer, my heart skips, and I flinch backward noticing a figure sitting on my couch. I turn around to have a clear view of the person; it’s Austin."What the hell are you doing here?" My voice comes out as more of a squeak than I intend. My hands clench around the soft fabric of my towel, my eyes keep darting down to make sure the towel is securely covering my naked body.Austin is sitting on the couch across the room with a coffee mug in his hand. He looks at me, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly but he didn’t say a word."Hello?" I wave my hand at him "Didn’t you hear me? I asked you why you are here?" I repeat, holding onto the towel tightly.Austin still, doesn’t say a word and he just sits there looking at me with his eyes raking every inch of my body making me even more uncomfortable than I already am. "Are you gonna talk or what?" I inqui

    ~ BELLA’S POV"Matt, I’m telling you it’s really hard," I say through the phone. Matt and I have been on call for over ten minutes and he has been insisting that I meet him but he has no idea how difficult it is to leave the house. "I can’t just be sneaking out all the time. I have to make sure the coaster is clear and no one is watching me." I tell him as I walk and stand by the window. I look through the window to take in the view. The road is shimmering in the heat of the midday sun. The sunlit skyscrapers piercing the hot, blue sky. I look at the guards standing by the gate, there are over five of them, all shirtless, with toned, sun-kissed skin. "It’s really hard to get out of here." I say "Ohh come on, I’m sure no one is watching you right now." Matt says "The sun is shining, and everyone’s eyes are wide open Matt and the guards…" I look at them as I continue to speak "They are everywhere. I can’t sneak right now.""Okay, but what about tonight?" He asks"I don't know," I s

    I roll over the bed with a sleepy moan. I am having a wonderful dream that involves two undressed men, one of them looks like Matt and the other may or may not look like Austin, I don’t want to go deep into details. The men were all over me and I just couldn’t control myself, their bodies were heatedly against mine. I could feel every part of their body on mine. I let out a sleepy groan as I rolled over and lay on my stomach. My face is directly against the bed and a pillow is on top of my head. I have been out all night with Matt and honestly, it’s quite exhausting to sneak out past midnight and come back only a few hours before sunrise. Matt won’t understand how exhausting it is so basically I can not tell him that otherwise, he’s gonna think I’m coming up with a bunch of stupid excuses which clearly I am not. After my conversation on the phone with Matt yesterday, I knew I had to fulfill my promise and meet him today otherwise my relationship with him is gonna be over and I do no

    ~ AUSTIN’S POV"I don’t fucking care what your job is!" I growl at Charles. I am in my office with the so-called almighty pack standing in front of my desk. They seem to be having a lot of issues lately since Jacob isn’t around and unfortunately for me, I am the only one available to fix those issues for them but apparently I can’t easily do that because they seem to have problems with everything which gets me even more frustrated because I can’t stand them and more importantly I hate saying one thing over and over again. "Lycan Austin I just want to say that I-""I don’t fucking care about what you want to say, Charles." I growl cutting him off. As I said I can’t stand them "And for heaven's sake fucking stop talking and just go do the goddam job!" Jacob is the Alpha of his pack and he has some certain responsibilities that make him in charge of some important jobs but since he’s gone for some months, I want Charles, the Beta to take care of it but he seems to be having issues with

    ~BELLA’S POVI arrive at the spot where Matt and I usually meet twenty minutes late. I already know he is going to be very mad at me for making him wait. Another thing about Matt is that he hates it when someone makes him wait, he’d rather make them wait for him instead. After the disturbing conversation I had with Austin the other day about sneaking out of the house. I thought about never sneaking out of the house and meeting Matt but here I am, doing the exact thing I said I won’t. I know it’s pretty dumb of me to come up here and meet Matt but I did a lot of thinking about me coming here. I came up with the conclusion that Matt and I have to take things a little low for Austin to get over his suspicions. I don’t want any of this to be caught by Austin otherwise I’m dead and I’m not ready for that. I don’t know how Matt is gonna react to this but he just has to understand. It’s the best thing to do. We need to create space between us before Austin’s suspicions grow bigger. It’s ba

    I finished making Austin his morning coffee. He usually has coffee every morning after gym so I decided to make the coffee for him today. I figured if I want Austin’s suspicions to halt and get him to trust me, I have to be doing things for him which is why I decided to make coffee for him. I mean, what else can I do for an ungrateful person other than make him his regular coffee?I serve the coffee in his regular mug and I head to his study room. I know he’s there because that’s where he is every single morning. Austin has a basic daily routine that he follows like there are some kind of rules and regulations. Speaking of rules, now I see why he set rules around here, he has his own so he thinks everyone should do too. Approaching the study room, I opened the door and was welcomed with absolutely no one. I keep the coffee on the table and take a look around the room. It’s very spacious and cast with a dazzling crystal chandelier. At the center of the room is a mahogany desk and plus

    "You mind if I join you miss?" I ask the lady watering the plants. She is a blonde, she is dressed in the servant's outfit; a white shirt and black skirts, and she appears to be in her late thirties. She turns to look at me with a bright smile on her face, she says "I don’t mind you joining me but I don’t think Lycan Austin will be happy when he sees you working with me." Her voice is sweet and innocent "He’s never happy so it won’t be the first time," I say"I don’t know," She shrugs, with a slight trace of concern in her voice. "I don’t want to upset him.""You don’t have to worry about that, he is always upset and even if he gets more upset, I don’t care," I say walking towards her. I seriously don’t care about anything Austin does or says. He is an asshole. I can’t believe I tried to be nice to him by making a cup of coffee for him but in return, he just acted shitty like he always does. He’s such a bitch!"Are you sure you want to help me? I don’t want to get you or me in troub

    ~ AUSTIN’S POVI didn’t stop running, I kept going until I was deep into the forest, my lungs burning from being deprived of oxygen. But somehow It didn’t make me feel any better, it didn’t feel the way I wanted it to, instead, it felt like nothing which got me angry because my mind was still fixed on one thing and I am just lashing out of my breath to get over with it. My wolf, Dragon is furious just as I am. I knew I had to rush out of the house otherwise Dragon would destroy everything. I barely can control my anger, but when it comes to Dragon, I completely lose control. Dragon is much more furious than I ever can be, he is in me yet he controls me. My wolf carried us farther into the woods, and I allowed myself to sink into the furthest depths of his mind. My head was still racing with what had just happened, I wanted to turn everything off for just a few moments. I couldn't handle it.Hours and hours passed, and I didn’t get any peace of mind. I was losing my mind. I thought o

    Hi guys👋 I know most of you didn’t expect the book to end this way, most of you wanted Jacob to be back but sadly it didn’t happen. However the last chapter ended with a cliffhanger so there may or may not be a “book two” it all depends on what the platform wants. I hope they accept “book 2” because I have so many uncovered secrets to tell and of course, I have a character that I will love to bring back. Anyways, please support me by recommending the book, commenting, voting, and reviewing it. The more support I get, the more the chances of the “book 2”being accepted sooner. I had a lovely time writing this book and now that it’s over, I couldn’t be any more excited to write the “book 2” of it. Thank you so much, everyone, have a lovely holiday and new year. P.S.

    ~ AUSTIN’S POV Just like every single night, this scene keeps playing over and over in my head; a nightmare. It's etched in there, haunting me like the sound of a thunderstorm that won't let up. I can see it vividly, like a movie playing in my head. Jacob, he's there, begging for mercy. His voice and pleads are dancing in my ears, echoing and lingering. I wish I could do something to help him, I wish I could rush in and save him, hold him close, and tell him that everything's gonna be alright. But I'm stuck. It's like I'm frozen in time, unable to change what will happen no matter how much I try. I can see the killer attacking Jacob, he isn’t saying anything but his silence scares me. I watch him take slow steps closer to Jacob like a lion ready to prey. Though I can’t see his face, I can tell that he is dangerously aggressive. From his moves to his body to the shape bloody axe he is holding; it all screams danger and death. My heart immediately starts to race a mile a minute as

    "Layla, are you done getting ready?" I ask, stepping out of my room. "Yes and I'm right here," she replies with her cute little voice, peeking out from the corner. I turn to look at her, and my eyes light up with delight at her appearance. "Wow, you look absolutely stunning!" I exclaim, unable to hide my admiration. "Thanks, Bell! I really love this dress. It's definitely the best Christmas gift ever," she says, her face beaming with joy as I wrap my arms around her. As we pull away, I can't help but smile. "Oh, silly girl!" I cup her face "The dress is just a present, not your actual Christmas gift. That's waiting for you under the tree." "Really? Can I open it now?" she asks eagerly, her excitement palpable. "No, sweetheart. We have to wait until after dinner," I reply, trying to contain her impatience. "Okay," she says, though her tone hints at her eagerness to tear into the presents. She's always like this when it comes to Christmas gifts. As we descend the stairs, I feel L

    ~ BELLA’S POVThose weeks seemed to pass by in a blur, and little by little, I felt my heart and soul healing. The pain and confusion I once felt about why Samaria tried to hurt me started to fade away. It finally clicked in my mind that she did it because she wanted to be with Austin. I can understand her perspective, but I can't help but think that her approach was completely wrong and unacceptable.If she had just talked to me, she would have known that my heart never throbbed for Austin. He's always been just a friend to me, nothing more than that. It's frustrating to think that if she had followed the right path, she could have had Austin without causing all this unnecessary pain. But alas, she didn't realize it.A lot has changed in the past few weeks, and I've noticed some interesting things. Layla has been doing so much better lately. She's not spending all her time sleeping anymore, which is a huge relief. And as for Austin, he seems to be a lot happier overall. But there are

    Samaria stood in front of me, her eyes fixed on mine, waiting for a response. I tried to meet her gaze, but something held me back. Was it because I still had feelings for her, or was it just my own anxiety getting in the way?"I don't love you anymore," I say, looking into her eyes. It's hard to believe I actually said it, but strangely, I don't feel as anxious as I thought I would. It's like my heart knows it's the truth and it feels liberating to finally be honest."No!" she shakes her head, refusing to accept it. "You're lying to me. I can't believe this.""You have to leave now. I don't have time for this," I inform her, trying to be firm."No, you can't just tell me to leave, Austin. You need me," she insists."I don't need you," I reply, my tone resolute."Yes, you do. You need me," she repeats, holding on to hope."The door is that way, please," I point towards the exit, choosing to ignore her plea."I can't leave, especially when you need me," she says."For the love of God,

    ~ AUSTIN’S POVSamaria is definitely behind this. She has to be the one who tried to drug Bella, it only makes sense that way because she was the only one present there and she had the pill bottle with her. I am not so sure of this but I find it very much believable that she can do something of such. She’s done a similar thing in the past so I won’t be that much surprised if she tried to do it again. I have been constantly thinking about this and I want to let it slide but at the same time, I can’t. It’s hard to let go of a matter that is more of a life-and-death situation. Samaria must have been fully aware of the purpose and effects of the medication to intentionally use it on Bella.Leaning against the chair, I try to reason it, all pieces of this situation tell me how badly Samaria is behind this. I mean, first, she gets extremely upset at Bella for no particular reason and then suddenly she tries to get to know her better…. I knew something was off the moment Bella told me that

    ~ AUSTIN’S POVI have done a lot of thinking and I believe this is best for me. I just have to do it no matter how hard it is or how much it’s going to hurt me. I know this is going to be extremely tough but I believe I can handle it. I have dealt with so many tough things and even though I know that this won’t be easy, I believe I can do it. I have spent years being in constant pain, just trying to strive and be myself. I think that everything will be fine if I just go back to Samaria. She has always been the one my heart desires and maybe, just maybe her words are true and she wants to be back together. I know it's a long shot and I've said in the past that I don't want to be with her, but the truth is, my heart yearns for her. Every part of me is calling out her name, and all I can think about is spending the rest of my life with her.I thought of letting her go and just be with Bella but what if Bella doesn’t want to be with me? What if she wants to be with someone else? I mean B

    ~ AUSTIN’S POVI'm feeling super overwhelmed with all these thoughts and emotions flooding my brain. It's like my mind is running a marathon, going a mile a minute! And the craziest part is that I can't seem to control my own thoughts. It's like they have a mind of their own, trying to take over the little space in my head.And it only gets more confusing and complicated because, for some reason, Jacob keeps popping into my head, and that's so out of the blue because I usually never think about him. I try my best to keep him out of my mind to avoid getting hurt, but it's like he's on repeat in my thoughts and I can't hit the pause button. It's driving me nuts. I wish I had a magic trick to make those thoughts disappear, but unfortunately, I'm still figuring it out myself.It's been a tough week for me, and I didn't make it to the cemetery to meet Jacob because of all these negative thoughts clouding my mind. It's so strange how my thoughts keep circling back to Jacob, even though I ca

I really need to put an end to this madness so Bella and I can have the perfect peace we deserve.I am pretty sure that I sound like a bad sister but trust me, I’m not the bad sister, Bella is. She is the one who is trying to take my man away from me. She is the one that trying to impose hateful comments about me on Austin. She is the one that ruined my life and now, I am going to make her feel the same. The only difference is that it won’t hurt as much as it did to me. I've got my plan intact in mind to ensure Bella rests in perfect peace before Austin returns home. After doing some research, I discovered that taking that large amount of pills would lead to death, but it takes time for them to take effect.
