My parents stepped out of the car, accompanied by four warriors, all them whom I recognized. The whole energy shifted and in my head, it looked like they were moving in slow motion. Their smiles were big and bright as they hugged Aiden and his parents. It was odd how everyone could pretend to be this happy when in fact, nobody wanted this. Nobody was genuinely happy but they all looked like they had won the lottery. They didn't even know each other, they just fixed their children up and should just back off. But my brother's words kept playing in my head, how they were coming up with a plan and that gave me hope. It gave me hope that this might actually end and I would be free of everyone. Aiden, my parents and all the people who had been making choices for me since the day I was born. I took a deep breath and repeated Edmund's words in my head. ”Oh, sweetheart!” My mom gushed and came over to hug me. ”How we’ve missed you. Your brothers really wished they could be here but unfor
The tension in the room was rising. Not just from Clark, Aidens father, but also Marie and Aiden himself. They were all watching my parents, straightening their backs and readying themselves.”What did you say?” My dad asked and stood straight. Clark was bigger, broader shoulders and form but my dad was an asshole with a big ego so he wouldn't back down.”I said-” Clark said and stepped around the table, got up closer to my father and stared him dead in the eye. ”-It’s time for you to leave. Gabriella is now a part of our family and our pack. She is this packs Luna and nobody, reagldeless of whether or not they are blood, will treat her with disrespect. Therefor, I'm asking you kindly, to leave.”My mother slowly stood from her seat and took a stance next to my dad. ”I think maybe we’ve taken a bad turn here, why don't we speak with Gabby in private and afterwards we will be on our way home,” Mom said and placed her hand on dads arm. They turned their heads and looked at me. Me an
His eyes grew darker, black almost and something ominous swirled inside of them.”Who did that to you?” He asked slowly, with a calculated and soft voice but there was a noticeable edge to it. One that said not to lie or defy him right now. ”No one, I walked intro a door,” I said an shrugged a shoulder. ”I’m clumsy,””Gabirella,” he said and leaned closer.”Who hit you?” His voice sent shivers down my spine, it was low and dark. My eyes flickered to his lips for a mere second before I looked back up into his eyes. Why did he even care?”Who would hit me?” I asked and looked at him, awaiting to see if he had a clue of what I had endured for all my life. He let me go, just like he was pulling himself away.”I came to apologize,” he what?”I shouldn't have gone behind your back like that with your parents, I'm sorry.” ”Why did you?” I asked him. He shrugged a shoulder nonchalantly and placed his hands in his pockets. ”I wanted to know more about your past and who raised you, I wante
’Can you meet?’ I stared at the screen and nervously chewed on my fingernail while waiting for a reply. She probably wasn't even awake.’On my way’ relief washed over me when she answered and I got dressed and walked outside. Cassy drove up and picked me up. We walked around the dark and quiet town before sitting down on a bench and I told her about my brothers plan.”So, you’re really leaving?” She asked and I heard the sadness in her voice, she wasn't trying to mask it.”I can't stay, my life isn't my own and it hasn't been, ever. I need to take it back,” I said.”I understand, do you know when?””No, they said they’d call once they had a plan but I don't know when that’s gonna be,” she nodded her head and grabbed my hand. ”You deserve to live a life of your own choosing so whatever you need, I'll help you,” she said and smiled.We went back to the house and me and Cassy were in the gaming room watching movies until the sun rose. During one of the movies we had both fallen asleep
I walked over and locked the doors, making sure that nobody would be able to enter. When I went back to Cassy she had a confused look on her face and she was awkwardly turning in the chair. ”When my parents realized that they hadn't birthed the perfect daughter, they tried to create one by any means necessary,” I said and removed my cardigan. ”They wouldn't tell me what to do and what not to do when I was a child because, well, as you saw they aren't normal. Instead, whenever i stepped over the line or I did anything un-lady like they would try and show what happens to girls who aren't the mold of perfection…” I removed my long sleeved shirt and placed it on top of my cardigan. ”…they would try and instill in me these habits and ways of life and their way of doing that…” I pulled my tank top over my head and tossed it aside. Cassy gasped and she hadn't even seen a fraction of my fathers art. I turned around, showing of my back for the first time in my life. ”…was beating it int
Nick’s hand was reached out in front of Aiden and the tension rose around us. It thickened for each sedond that Aiden didn't grab it. Aidens eyes were narrowed but he looked relaxed. His chest was puffed out, his shoulders rolled back and he looked down at Nick’s hand, seemingly analyzing the situation and the words Nick had just said. ”We are.” He said and shook his hand. I released a visible breath and y shoulders sunk. My brothers grinned and Edmund started jumping around. He grabbed my shoulders and guided me away. ”Tell us everything, how’s it been?” Edmund asked and brought me over to a stub where we sat down and talked. Nick patted Aiden’s shoulder and the two walked off, I had no idea where to but I'm guessing to talk about something that the rest of us weren't allowed to hear. Obviously. I told them about how it had been living here, obviously leaving out all of the bad parts, so it wasn't a long story. I didn't want to tell them about Sam and Cole or the girls that made
~Unknown POV~ Aiden and Gabby were away so I knew that I had the entire day to do what I had to, without any getting suspicious. ”Have you seen her?” I asked Cole and he sighed. ”Are you really gonna do this?” ”Do you want her to stay?” I asked him and crossed my arms over my chest. He scoffed. ”She’s in town, at the old library.” I knocked on the door and it swung open slowly with a loud shriek. ”Step in,” Her voice was raspy and deep. ”I need you to do something.” I said and walked up to her. It was completely still around us but suddenly books started flying out of their shelves and the dust gathered around us. ”I do nothing for you with that attitude you bring. Get out.” She said. ”Just listen, I need you to contact someone,” I gave her the name and she looked up at me with that wrinkled old face. ”Why?” ”The Luna, she needs to go.” ”Is that so,” ”Yes, she’s not good for the pack so just do as I say.” ”You’re jealous of her and the bond that is being created betw
Cassy wasn't at breakfast and she wasn't answering my texts or calls so I went over to her house to make sure she was fine. I drove up to her house and parked the car. I hadn't seen it before but it was darling and much bigger than I had expected. It was a quaint two-story house with a front side porch and a back yard that was fenced in. I knocked on the door and her father, I assumed, opened up. ”Hi there, how can I help you?” He asked with a bright smile. ”Hi, sir, I'm Gabby, a friend of Cassy’s. I was wondering if she’s here,” ”Gabby? Oh dear, you’re the Luna, where are my manners-” he became a little stressed and reached out his hand, opening the door fully and inviting me in. ”-it’s a pleasure to meet you. Please, come in,” he said and shook my hand. ”Oh no that’s okay, I'm just looking for Cassy,” I said. ”She’s at work, she will be back in about an hour but please, come in, I'll make us some coffee.” I couldn't just turn around and leave, he looked so hopeful standing t
