As the days, weeks, months and years passed by, the pain of rejection was still ever so present. It's been exactly 15 years to the date since Caleb broke my heart and I've been miserable. Every day is hard to pretend that everything is okay. I didn't want to worry my parents or the pack with my problems. I'm so stupid to continue to hope that he will regret his decision and come back and beg me to forgive him and I know that part of me, the stupid part of me, will forgive him the second he opens his mouth but there's also the rational part of me that will not give in. That, like my Dad, make him work for my forgiveness and maybe on day I'll forgive him. Princeton is turning 19 in three months and it's crazy to think that he's also graduating high school. My little boy was no longer little, he was his own person, with dreams, hopes and desires."You're thinking to much again mama" A voice scolded and I chuckled looking over my shoulder to see Princeton with his arms crossed over his ch
"Do you have everything?" Adam asked as he and Alexa ,who has been his wife of 10 years,walked out of the house we shared with their 3 year old daughter and 8 year old son. Erick and Damon would be meeting us at the airport"Yeah. I just need to get Bailey from Bree's house" I said and they nodded. Bailey is my 2 year old, adopted daughter. I had stumble upon her on my 31st birthday when I was walking home from a long shift at the station. It was in midwinter and as I walked down the street to my apartment I heard a baby's wails. I paused to listen to the sound and when it came back, I walked over to a pile of rubbish where I found her wrapped in a thin blanket, her skin turning blue. She was still had her umbilical cord attached letting me know she was just born. I took my jacket off even though it was freezing and covered her up."Call an ambulance" I yelled entering back into the station, everyone surrounded me and a police office walked over to me who had a certificate as an MT
The sound of beeping woke me from my sleep and I slowly opened my eyes only to be greeted by bright lights. I felt a weight on hand and looked down to see a man sleeping his face facing the other way so I didn't know who it was which had me panicking. The loud beeping beside my head picked up and that woke the stranger up. He jumped his feet and looked down at me with wide eyes. "Lucas" he murmured, tears gathering in his eyes and I felt my breath hitch as realization hit. Caleb.The door to my room busted open and in rushed Dr Mel with a nurse trailing behind her "You're awake" she said with a smile and I nodded not taking my eyes off of Caleb who stood back and watched "How you feeling?" She questioned and I swallowed the lump in my throats before answering"Good" she nodded and asked other questions before leaving the room "Hey" Caleb murmured as he walked over to sit back on the chair and I just stared at him. He's changed so much in the past 17 years. His eyes were dull, his
Would it be considered creepy if I said that I staid in Lucas's room and watched him sleep? I mean I've done it before when he was in the hospital but it would only be for a few minutes but not like this. I had staid the night in his room watching him sleep. I couldn't bring myself to sleep as I was afraid that something would happen to him if I did."You're staring again" Lucas' voice said breaking me out of my thoughts "Sorry" I murmured and he looked at me with a raised brow "What's bothering you Caleb?" He asked "Nothing just have a lot on my mind that's all" I answered and he nodded. A knock on the door cut him off before he could say anything else and he groaned"Who is it?" He called "Bella," was the answer and I looked at Lucas who sighed rubbing his face "Talk to her, make amends I'm going to go check on Bailey" I said and he nodded. With that said, I leaned over and placed a kiss on his forehead before walking over to the door and opened before stepping to the side to l
To say I was nervous about going on this date with Caleb would be an understatement. I didn't know what to wear or what to even say during dinner. This was the most nerve wracking thing I've ever done in my life. Goddess I sound like a teenager girl going on her first date. In my case it would be my first date I haven't dated ever. But damnit I wasn't a teenage girl I was freaking 30 years old. "You do know that you have a good thirty minutes to finish getting ready before he comes and gets you right?" A voice said making me turn around and come face to face with Papa and I sighed "I know. I don't even know what to wear" I huffed making him chuckle before walking into my room"Did he tell you where he was taking you? Or how to dress at least?" He questioned and I nodded "He didn't really say where he was taking me al he aka sea to dress formally yet casual" I answered and he hummed. He went through my clothes before grabbing a pair of black dress pants and a white button up shirt"
It's been four days since I took Lucas out in a date and he hasn't called or texted me since. I was confused. I thought we were on the right path or fixing our relationship. I called him but it always went to voice mail. "What's with the long face?" Bree asked as she walked over to me with her five month old son on her hip "Nothing just really confused" I replied and she raised a brow"About what?" She asked "Remember the guy that I was telling you about back in London?" I asked and she nodded "The one you used to bully when you were kids?" She replied with a question and I nodded "what about him?""I took him on a date a few days ago and I actually thought we were making progress. I mean we've been talking again since I came back" I sighed running my fingers through my hair and she nodded and waited for me to continue"And now it's like I don't even exist. I've been calling and texting him to see if he would like to go to a movie or go see his favorite band next week but they go
What the fuck just happened? He had no reason to be angry at me when he never called me or texted me after our date four days ago. I stood in the front of yard watching as he drove away and fumed. Fucking asshole. I knew he was the same bastard from 17 years ago. I just wanted to know why he never called or messaged me and this is how he treats me? Fuck him. "What's with the frown?" A voice asked making me jump and I looked over to see Papa and Dad walking over with frowns and raised brows "Caleb" I grumbled and papa nodded "What he do this time?" Dad asked "He was being an asshole. I just wanted to ask him why he never called or messaged me. Today was the first time I saw him after our date four days ago" I said and he nodded "And did you get an answer?" Papa quizzed but I shook my head "No, he said that and I quote 'get my shit together to call him' what's that supposed to mean?" I asked with a huff and they shared looks making me frown. They knew what was wrong."Have you ev
When I got the call about Lucas being injured I didn't think twice and drove to the pack house to make sure he was okay and when I saw him sleeping with his left leg bandaged my heart sank. I knew Razor was bad news but never said anything since Lucas always defended him even when we were younger. He always stood up for him from other kids that bullied Razor. I wanted to kill the son of a birch when I heard he was the one who had attacked Lucas but I knew that if I did, Lucas would never forgive me and then I found out that Alpha Dimitri had him locked in the cellar awaiting punishment. "Stop thinking about that" I turned around to see Lucas standing there with his arms wrapped around his waist as the wind blew his hair around. The salty ocean water wafted through the air as the cruise ship sailed the waters. We've been on this cruise for three days and I've tried so hard to forget about the attack in Lucas but it was impossible. He complains about his leg hurting whenever he's on hi
