With every second that passed, the hand Paul offered became more repulsive to Belinda. She took it because she had no choice, smiling as her stepbrother led her to the dancefloor. The orchestra had begun playing another song, and they joined the other couples in the steps of the dance. Belinda tried to make it through the session by blocking out everything but the music, but Paul made that impossible. "So," The sound of his voice ticked a nerve in her temple. "this is where you went after you left." Despite not being in any mood for a conversation, Belinda kept a straight face as she replied him. "What did you expect?" She asked. "You used violence on me after I refused to throw my life away. I was hardly safe back home." "And you feel safe here?" The question held no emotion, so that the reason behind it couldn't be guessed. Belinda wondered what Paul was driving at, but she quickly decided it couldn't hurt to rub the truth in his face. "I'm under the Lycan's protection,

Running as she struggled to keep her shawl on her shoulders, a blond woman rushed through the hallways of the hospital. She was a pretty woman, but her hair was in a mess, and her rumpled clothes made her look haggard. As she ran, she trembled, the anxiety she was feeling evident all through her body. Pausing at the doorway of a ward, she addressed the two women standing there. "Excuse me, I'm looking for James Fleming. Is he in there?" Her voice came out in gasps, as though she was out of breath, which she likely was. Instantly, Belinda guessed who she was. Considering how worried she appeared, she was most likely one of the family members who had fought for justice after the construction worker's death. Now, she could direct her energy into being grateful he was alive. Curving her lips, Belinda gave her a reassuring smile. "He is." The woman was very disoriented, her pupils which kept darting back and forth plenty proof of that. However, she did manage to bow gratefully at B

Belinda glanced at her phone, after which she glanced back at the sign reading May&Tom's Coffees. The name matched the one specified in the text, so she pushed the door open, entering the shop. It did not take long for her to spot those she'd come for. They waved widely at her from a corner of the café, easily drawing her attention as soon as she walked in. Returning their smiles, Belinda joined them at their table. "We're so sorry we didn't call sooner." Jane was the first to speak, apologizing as Belinda took the empty seat in the circle. "It felt wrong to simply call you on a phone, so we decided to treat you." The woman who had raced through the hallways of the hospital to find her husband, looking haggard and shaken, was completely gone, leaving this Jane that seemed to radiate sunshine. Dressed in a cute floral gown and with her hair properly combed, she appeared even more pretty. Belinda flashed her a kind grin, and assured her that it was okay they'd taken their time to

"What?" The once peaceful atmosphere turned tense as shock coursed through Derek. He frowned, his brain delaying to process what he'd just been told. Staring wide-eyed at Belinda, he waited for her to say something. Anything. God, this was frustrating, Belinda thought, grinding her teeth against each other. How was she supposed to convince a Beta to turn his back on his pack? First of all, she was taking a mighty risk exposing herself to him, but she'd been pushed to by the encounter outside the café. Suffering defeat at Lila's hand had made her realize she needed someone on the inside on her side. She needed to know who was doing what in the Knight family, and when it was happening. Her only link to the Chicago Pack, Lexie, had been severed though, for very obvious reasons. The only other person Belinda had a friendly enough relationship with was Derek, despite their recent fallout. It was either him or no one else. "To be accurate," Belinda chose her words carefully. "I'

Sunlight hit her face, causing her eyelids to flicker open. The first few seconds Belinda spent awake, she wondered where she was and what was happening. Her vision gradually grew clearer, she picked out the white wall and the tiled roof, the classy furniture, and the painting of a meadow hanging on a wall. Okay, she recognized everything... she was in her bedroom at the Lycan's penthouse... but why, in the moon goddess', name did her entire body ache!? She ached in every place imaginable, and her head felt like it could fall off from her neck at any moment. Using her elbows as support, she tried to sit up on the bed, and groaned from the effort. The noise drew the attention of Lexie, who had been looking out the window of the room before then. She turned to a scene that brought tears to her eyes—a scene of Belinda alive and kicking—and immediately smiled. "You're okay. You're really okay." Rushing to the bedside, Lexie fell to her knees and threw her arms around Belinda. She enc
