Beautiful enough to kill

"You look beautiful."

Evander tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and stepped back to look at her again. She smiled.

"I can't believe you're going out like this. Someone may kidnap you or...or..you know."

She laughed, humorlessly. The only one who's dangerous here is me.

"Stop, its okay. I will be back really soon."

 She had received a text earlier and the men she had asked for were already at their rendezvous point.

"Are you sure you don't want me to come along?"

 His hands were on both her shoulders. As usual, he was wearing white from head to toe, with his silver ring and blonde hair.

 "I will be okay."

He nodded, not quite letting her go. She moved away, putting some distance between them, then turned to the bed to get her phone. She stood straight as he hugged her from behind.

"I don't know why, but I have a bad feeling about this."

Her heart was beating wildly in her chest, as she knew he wasn't wrong. He just didn’t know that she was the problem.

 "I don't want to let you go anywhere."

He was burying his nose in her neck now, sniffing. Lifting up his head a bit, he traced his nose up her neck, to her ear. "I love you, Bella." He whispered.

"Please be safe for me. I wasn't joking about you being my delta. I love you."

His eyes were closed, just holding her, savoring it.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Pathetic."

She closed her eyes. Her wolf was at it again.

 " he doesn't know what's coming."

Her wolf said and withdrew, leaving her, standing, feeling his warmth, hearing him tell her he loves her.

 "U hmm....Evander, I better go so I can come back early, right?"

She turned, to meet his eyes and they were filled with tears. He was just looking at her.

 "Evander...I’m not going out to die"

"Take care of yourself."

He said simply. She could see he was too sad to argue, and she wondered how he would look like when she brought back her soldiers to destroy his pack. He cupped her face, bringing her back to reality. He leaned in closer, till they could feel each others soft breaths, before slowly, while looking into her green eyes with his tear filled silver ones, he kissed her. The kiss was one that spoke more that he had ever told her, spoke in more ways that she had ever known. She closed her eyes just as she saw his close, tears rolling down his cheek.

"Stay safe, please."

He said after she broke the kiss. He was looking at her, then wiped his tears and smiled.

"Let me do your shoe laces for you."

He bent to his knee and tied them, then patted the top of her feet. Hugging her again, he held her arms to see her off outside, where she would be completing the rest of the journey on her own, solely for his doom.

"Where is she going to? And why do you look like that?"

 Alec was by his side, and so was Jake.

"I really love her, Alec."

"What about your mate?"

 Jake said, before Alec could reply.

 "I want Bella."

He said again, still staring off into the distance where she had left.

 "I don’t like her. She isn't what she claims to be."

 Evander looked at him for a moment.

"I know. She is beautiful enough to kill...I love her, and she will have to break this heart to pieces first. Although each piece will carry a reflection of her, it just might help."

He left them, standing there.

"Don't badmouth her in front of him. You know he never was this emotionally attached to anyone apart from his parents....and brother. Now that he has none of them, he found her. At least, be considerate and let him love her."

 Jake said with a sort of finality in his tone, and left Alec brooding.

          The powerful delta of the terrorist pack, split moon stood, with her red cape around her neck, flowing down to the ground behind her. She had left all conscience, all love when she stepped out of the pack. The only thing she couldn't get out of her mind was Evander. The way he smiled at her, the way he talked to her, the way he took care of her, the way he hugged her, the way he kissed her. It wasn't her first or second, hell it wasn't even in the first 100. But not was the only one that spiked her humanity, her emotions. So she hated it. She cleaned her lips and stood in front of the men she had brought, with full authority.

"our target is full moon."

 She said and ignored the murmurs and gasps. She had expected it.

" we will walk in on them in two hours. Get ready. We are going to conquer..."

 She let her voice trail off as the men completed her sentence.

"No matter what!"

 She nodded.

 "Now train, down to the last minute."

She sat on a nearby log and watched them, but soon her mind was with Evander. The way he had repeatedly told her he loved her. Would he still be wearing white when she attacks? How will he look at her? Will he cry the way he has this morning, not caring about the man stereotype?

"I love you, Bella...."

She shook her head. She had to get him out. Standing up, she called their attention.

"You can slay anyone in your way, except their alpha. He is mine."

She held up a picture of him, one she had taken that morning, before he woke up. They echoed understanding, before going back to train.

Evander was standing by the balcony of his office, staring at the sky. He closed his eyes a bit, before opening them. This time, his eyes came wide, his breath hitching. Bella.

"Its been two hours. Let's match."

It was a short distance to cover and once they stood in front of full moon, she held her sword up, and said in her loudest voice.

"ATTACK!"
