"What's your name"
I ask him as he pulls his hand back to look at the small white scar.
"Derick"
"Derick"
bella repeats out loud, slowly saying it like she's tasting it for the first time. jesus steps forward
"we must go"
"when can i see her?"
"12 tomorrow but you must use the front gate and be prepared to be searched"
He nods smiling at Bella, he holds her face in his hands
"My Bella"
He whispers resting his head against hers then he places a gentle kiss on her lips
"I'll see you tomorrow, thank you for your kindness, I will abide by your laws I promise"
He kisses her again then steps back to Jesus who smiles at me and Carter and waves to Adlai, she waves back grinning at him then they disappear.
"Bella?"
Luca calls, she turns glaring at him
"What!"
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry"
He pleads with her
"Save it until I cool down"
I put my arms out and everyone touches them and I transport us back home, Adlai jumps out of geralds arms and runs to Bella.
"I forgive him, and I hope he makes you happy"
Bellas face softens considerably as she kneels in front of her
"And that is why you are one of my most favourite people in the world, that means so much to me so thank you"
Adlai hugs her then pulls back and runs to the wolves who are waiting patiently for her, she was kinder then I was.
"Thank you for stepping in for him"
I growl shaking my head
"No bella I did it for you, not him and to stop an all out war between the family. I don't trust him and I don't want him here but I'm doing this for you. He has one chance and one chance alone and if he fucks up I will severe your connection and kill him and if he so much as thinks of hurting my daughter again he's dead, Do you understand me?"
I tell her sharply, annoyed that I even had to explain myself to her.
"And while you live here, you will live under our rules. No coming in drunk or bringing people over, no skimpy outfits, no being a bitch, no flirting with other peoples mates"
Carter warns her with his finger out, she looks guilty but she nods
"Thank you, I promise I'll behave better from now on"
"And you also need to help mum in the kitchen if she wants the help"
I add and she smiles pulling me into a hug, I hug her back then I step back as she walks past us and towards her parents. Carter pulls me towards the office, closing the door after us
"I know why you did it but I don't know where you got the strength to do it"
He whispers groaning as he rubs his temples
"Adlai gave me strength enough to do it, she loves this family and she deserves a life with no war. If I didn't do that she would end up in the middle of a family war with us in the center of it and nobody needs that"
He pulls me against his chest kissing my forehead
"Well your strength amazes me, come see the wolf pups. You can choose the ones you like"
He pulls me toward the desk and down on his knee then he pulls up the pictures, I couldn't think of a better distraction than looking at wolf pups.

Bellas POV
I lay there tapping my fingers as all the mistakes in my life flooded through my brain. Simple things like stupid stuff I said in a situation or listening to the wrong person when asking for advice. For example penny is my best friend, she's a little out there but we always have fun.
so when I told her I had a huge crush on Gerald she said
'girl, Adlai ain't even real family, why give a shit about her? You have at least 10 years of possible fun with Gerald so sitting around moping won't do anything for ya'
So I followed her advice even to the point of just hanging out with Adlai to get to Gerald, the trickiest bit was doing it without carter catching on to my plan. Thankfully I'm good at hiding my thoughts from him plus he tries to block most thoughts out now so it was easier than I thought.
I even pretended I hated Abby so I could come live with them and that didn't go so well, Gerald basically shot me down at every opportunity then ignored me and was rude to me as well.
But then I met Derek and I don't give a crap what anyone says, I don't care what he's done in the past, he is mine now and I'm not giving him up, I may have been a dick up to this point but I'm just biding my time until I can run of into the sunset with him.
I always thought of myself as a good person but I honestly can't be bothered anymore. I'm sick of being alone, I'm sick of thinking about other people first. I'm sick of being the only one left on my own, even penny has a mate, not that they are struggling because she has issues that he just can't understand but still she has him and I have a witch who everyone hates. But he is mine and I'm walking out that damn door and I'm taking what I deserve.
I shake myself off and fluff up my hair, making sure my makeup is on point. I wore black skinny leather pants, a white crop top and my leather jacket. I was ready to meet him and I was so looking forward to it.
I open the door of my room and freeze, Carter and Carly were both standing there with faces like stone. They looked like they wanted to rip me apart.
"She's not real family?"
Carly spits the words at me like venom, her eyes nearly pop from her head.
"That's what penny said"
I say, pissed at myself for not being more careful
"Oh so you take advice from her? If Adlai ain't real family either is penny. She's adopted to, so is Carter, so was Baylee and caden. Fuck you! You want your witch so bad I'm done. Pack your shit and get out. I don't want to see your face around her ever again. And take your witch with you"
She points to my door, I glare at her and turn on my heels and I throw everything back into my bag and close the lid. I had most of it packed anyway so I yank it out of the room and up the stairs. Jaxon is standing right at the top beside lucy.
"I'm really disappointed in you"
He tells me shaking his head and walking off, I growl
"You know what, fuck you all"
I rant pulling my case out the door just as derek approaches the house he frowns
"Hey what's wrong?"
"We are leaving"
