Bella let out a scream at seeing who stood in front of her. Her knees wobbled and her whole body trembled in fear.

Lucas furrowed his brows "What's wrong, doll?" He reached out to touch her but she flinched away. "Don't touch me. Please don't hurt me."

"What?" Lucas whispered before realization hit his face. "They told you." He whispered and set his gaze on the floor.

"Why are you here? Leave, please." Bella whispered, wanting to get away from the rapist. Lucas shook his head. "Bella, doll, look I was drunk and she was dirty dancing on the dance floor with some mutt and then she told me she wants to complete the mating process but then she changed her mind I couldn't stop mys-" Bella interrupted his rambling.

"You don't have to tell me all of that. You are nobody to me and I am nobody to you. Now will you please leave." She gestured her hand towards the door without making eye contact.

"Bella. Are you afraid of me?" He whispered looking at her face, gaze set on the floor and body stiff.

"Oh, doll." He came over to her and hugged her. Her body went rigid. "What are you doing? Step back!" She snapped but he only hugged her tighter.

She couldn't deny the body heat and the size of his body are inviting and feel safe, but she wanted to, she wanted to so badly.

"Why are werewolves so warm." She mumbled and Lucas let out a hearty laugh. "I'm not a werewolf anymore, doll." Realization hit her and she stepped back from him, her body started trembling again.

"Bella." His eyes softened. "Fine, I'll go, but not before I explain myself to you." He looked determined as he sat on her bed and patted the spot next to him.

Bella hesitantly sat on the bed, scooting far away from him. He cleared his throat "Maria was my mate. She loved making me jealous and she knew I had royal blood in me, I was very possessive of her. One night, she went to a club and I followed her, I saw her dirty dancing with some guy on the dance floor and my wolf went rigid." He cleared his throat when his voice broke.

"He took over and wanted to complete the mating process, I had already marked her the first week we met. I was still straining him from forcing her into it, but she said she was ready. Minutes later, my wolf had full control over my body and he couldn't stop himself. We were both naked on a bed when she said we had to stop. My wolf didn't listen and went on further, raping her." His voice was strangled and his face looked pained.

Bella didn't know what to think. She didn't know much about werewolves but she has been living with a few of them, and as much as she learned was they have serious anger issues and have trouble controlling their wolves, also are very possessive and easily triggered.

She thought it over. He said he really didn't want to do it, but his wolf made him. "Atlas said you said you were drunk when you were brought to the council." He shook his head.

"It is true. I drank several bottles of strong alcohol and my human form was a bit tipsy, that's why I wasn't able to contain my wolf for long." Bella didn't know if she should trust him.

The door suddenly slammed open and Atlas entered with a growl with his eyes flashing red.

His body was shaking and his gaze was set on Lucas. He smirked "Adios, brother." With that he left with a gush of wind behind him.

Bella gaped "I thought you said he was human!" Atlas eyes were now a dark blue, not their usual pearl color, snd his posture was still rigid, his hands clenched into tight fist, his jaw ticking as he growled. "He's a vampire." Bella was stunned.

"That exists too?" Atlas nodded. "Atlas fucking James! Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

"Because there are no vampires in America, Bella. They have the Asian territory and most of Europe. Lucas married the vampire princess and is now a part of the royal vampire family, meaning we cannot ban him from entering out territory."

"He's married! To a vampire! Just tell me witches exist and I'll faint right here." Atlas laughed, his mate wiped away all his fury in a sweep. "No, there are not. But from now on you will be sleeping in my room. I can't have him coming near you again. I'll kill him and killing him without permission means war." Bella nodded, a little creeped out and undeniably attracted to seeing Atlas every morning when she opens her eyes.
