"You can never be half the man Darius is. The only monster in this story is you Liam, not Darius!" Bella retorted."Aahh!" Liam let out a barbaric scream and the popping of bones filled the air.Before I could make a split-second decision, he started running toward Bella and the time slowed. I threw

Bella's POV"My sons were murdered in cold blood by Liam and when I told the pack that he did it, they tagged me as the crazy one. Do you think they will believe you?" Her voice rang in the almost empty room we sat in.I looked at my father and he nodded, giving me the support and comfort I needed.
