*Isabella's P.O.V.*

I felt like my whole world was spinning out of control. I didn't know what was going on. Not that I ever did know what was going on, but my confusion deepened.

"What?" I asked him. Maybe I misheard him. Maybe I'm delusional. Maybe I was hallucinating right now and slowly came back to reality.

"I'm Kaden." He said cautiously.

Not only was my world spinning out of control but it was crumbling down and trying to crush me and suffocate me to nonexistence. Everything I thought I knew was all wrong. Everything was a lie. My head began to pound, a lump formed in my throat and no matter how many times I tried to swallow it down it came right back, I felt chills yet I started to feel hot.

"Say something, Bella." He persisted.

Just as I was about to open my mouth..."You fool," Stacia said towards Kaden. "I told you if you told her your identity something will happen to you."

"I rather I die then to watch Bella being taken away from me. Besides, if I die, you won't be able to have my pack because it is wolf law to fight the leader for the pack and win or to gain the pack through family in order to be new alpha of the pack." Kaden spat.

"Why thank you for reminding me about that wolf law. We actually can inherit the pack through family. If you're dead, my sons have a better chance. After all, I'm still married to your father," Stacia said smirking while holding up her hand that contained her wedding ring. "Your father is the leader of the pack."

"You fucking whore." Kaden said.

"Call me all the names you want, but soon all creatures of the night will look to me as their queen." She chuckled.

"I knew that there was something familiar about you. Kaden, you shouldn't have told me if it meant risking your life." I said.

"I had to tell you before the battle. I don't know if I'll even make it to the battle. I could already feel something changing in me. But at least you know everything." He explained.

"Not everything. Why did you call yourself 'Jack' and why were you being so nice to me? I thought you hated me."

"I don't hate you. I called myself 'Jack' because remember that 'Jack and Jill' play we were in the sixth grade and you did so bad because you were laughing and playing around the whole time...well, that was the first time I...fell in love...with you."

"So you really meant that? You are in love with me. But you were always a jerk to me and slept around with so many different girls. How does that show that you love me?"

"Because my dad kept telling me that falling for a human is a big mistake. So the only way I thought to stop being in love with you was to be with other girls and pretend that hated you. But when you dated Blair and he tried to rape you...I just lost control. I saved you from him. He drugged you and while you were under the drugs and you're vision was blurred by your tears, I came into that dark alley as a wolf to protect you from him. You passed out so you didn't really get to see who attacked Blair, but it was me. I carried you home but I knew that night was going to haunt you. Especially the claw mark across your shoulders that will always leave a memory of that horrible night. But I was there. I'm always there for you. Even when I won't be physically here holding you're hand or annoying you, I'll be here."

"Please be okay."

"One more thing before we separate. If I die before I see you again, can you tell me one thing? Do you love me? I know it can't break the curse now, but I still want to know. At least if I die, I'll die knowing what could have been."

"I'm so confused. I don't know. It's just that everything that I thought I knew was a lie. And I don't know if I can trust you because this might be another lie, too."

"I understand. Bella, you don't have to say it to me. I don't want you to force yourself into loving me. I know I'm too much of a beast to deserve you. Inside and out, I'm ugly. But I still love you."

"I don't hate you. Please don't give up on me. Show me how I can believe you." The next thing I knew, I saw Kaden leaning in towards me. His eyes began to close. He got closer and closer to me and our lips are inches away from one another.

"Kaden...I can't. " I pushed away. "I'm sorry. I just don't know what to do."

I looked into his eyes and saw hurt in them. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. " He backed away and then he fell to his knees and clutched his chest in pain and began to yell.

"Kaden!" I yelled running towards him, but stopped short when the pack members came in front of me and grabbed me. "Let me go."

I felt flower petals falling from the flower in my hands. "What's going on?" I asked Stacia.

"None of your business. Come on, we've a dress that we are dying to get you into. Take her away." Stacia commanded. The pack members began to drag me away.

"Kaden! I'm sorry!" I yelled. Stacia grabbed the flower out of my hand and threw it down the basement and locked the door. My last glimpse of Kaden was him looking up at me. His eyes were completely black like an alien and blood came out of his nose, eyes, and mouth.

I cried and struggled out of their grip. "Stop. Let me go. You're all killing him."

"I believe you're the one who killed him, Blondie. Now quit you're whining and wear this dress." Stacia throw the dress at me. It was a lace dress that was white and fitted.

My tears continued to fall as I put on my dress.

"There. Don't you look gorgeous. Quit crying. Your boyfriend is dead. But now you get to marry two of the most powerful werewolves out there. Take her to the basement and lock her in there." Stacia gave orders to the two pack members. "Until that knock comes on your door, you are not getting out of here." She smirked at me and throw me back to the small basement I was in before.

I curled into a ball and flashes of Kaden came into my mind. Flashes of him bloody and dead. If I didn't find a way to get out of here, Kaden would be dead and everyone will have to suffer under Sam or Blair's power.
