When we got backnto the house I shifted and got dressed. I told Cain what happened and kept him calm. He agreed with my punishment for Cole but he said Bella womt be happy. I knew she wouldn't but Cole cant be trusted right now.

Bella walked up to me and stopped me. "You cant do this." She said. Tears fulled her eyes but I had to be strong.

"Im sorry Bella. Cole isn't trust worthy. It has to be this way." I said.

"No." Bella said.

"Bella. Elara is right. We did trust him and look at Elara. She was hurt by his pack members. He lead them to her. We cant trust him after that." Cain said. Bella got angry and growled as Cain lead me inside. Jaxon escorted Cole to the dungeon.

"Why do you hate him? He told me he never laid a hand on you." Bella said. I froze.

Cole did do something. I had the scar to prove it. He was forced tk whip me because Luke would watch him. But Cole did something he wanted and I hated it. I walked to Bella and she was really mad. I lifted my sweater and showed her the scars. Claws that dug into my skin. So deep I lost a lot of blood. Bella looked shocked when she saw that and I heard Cain growl.

"Cole raped me too. This was the result of me fighting back." I said. I saw the disappointment in her eyes. She growled and went after Cole. Cain looked at the scars and held back his growl. "Im fine."

"Two men laid their hands ln you and one of them is here. Im gonna..."

"Do nothing. Let Bella decide." I said. We walked back intk the house and I was exhausted. Cain informed me that all the hunters were cleared out. I was glad.

Bella's pov

I went down to the dungeon and Jaxon locked Cole's cell. I walked up to cell and banged on the bars. "You fucked Ela!" I yelled. My wold Crystal was hurt. She stayed silent but I could feel her anger.

Cole looked at me with fear. "Bella. I didnt mean to." He said.

"Dont fucking lie to me. You hurt an innocent girl. You lied to her and me. You were gonna take her away." I said. Tears streaming down my face. Cole reached to whip them away but I moved out of his reach.

"Bella. Im sorry." He said. Was he sorry? Was he really? I stared at him deciding if I should believe him or not.

What do you think Crystal? I asked. She was silent.

"Reject him." She said. I thought of doing it from the start but I wanted to give him a chance. Crystal was so happy when we found him but after what happened and what we found out, we saw he was an evil man.

Are you sure? I asked her. Rejection was a painful process. It could kill us. "Bella. I love you. Please help me." Cole said. Crystal almost believed him.

"No you dont." I said. Cole's facial expression changed. His eyes turned black and he seemed angry.

"Let me out you bitch." He said. I rook a step back. Elara was right.

"Do it." Crystal growled. Cole gave a wicked smirk but he didnt know what I was going to do.

"I, Bella Silverstone, reject you Cole Anderson as my mate. We wont be bonded together from this day forth. We are nor free ro live our separate lives." I said. Cole looked shocked. I walked out of the dungeon and Jaxon followed. I tried to ignore the pain but it was ro much.

I almost fell but Jaxon caught me. He licked me up bridal style and took me to my room. "Your going to be alrigjt Bells. Im here for you." He said. I held onto him. The bond broke and it felt like everything was on fire. It hurt.

Jaxkn was quiet. I looked at him and saw he was talking to someone through the link. Then in seconds, Elara and Cain walked into my room. They all sat with me as I cried frkm the pain. Elara held me tight. She didn't know how this felt but she has been through worse. "Its going to be okay Bells. Im sorry things turned out this way." She said.

I could hear how sad she was. She was sad for me. "You were right. That blood cove pack are monsters. He used me to try and get you." I said. Elara rocked me back and forth like a baby. It was soothing. She hummed a song that sounded familiar. Then she started singing.

What doesnt kill you makes you stronger

Stand a little taller

Doesn't mean Im lonely when Im alone

What doesnt kill makes fighter

Footsteps even louder

Doesn't mean Im over

Cause your gone

She sang the song like it was a lullaby. Her voice was so beautiful. It would make anyone go crazy. People would want to hear her sing all the time. What made her sing that song will stay unknown. She sang the chorus again but the boys sang with her. Its been years since I heard the two of them sing and it made me smile.

"Bella. What should we do with Cole? Its your desicion." Elara said. Cain and Jaxon agreed with her.

"You dont you have to answer now. Het some rest and tell us in the morning." Cain said. He kissed me kn the forehead and he left with Elara. Jaxon was about to leave but I grabbed his hand.

"Stay please." I said. He smiled and layed next to me. Jaxon always made me feel safe. He held me close and I like this.

"Bella. Are you sure you want me here?" He asked. I looked at him and he looked worried. He always worried about me when I was sad.

I gave him a small smile. "Yes. I want you here." I said and snuggled him. I knew he smirked and he held me tight. I closed my eyes and let sleep take over.
