Mason’s P.O.V.What the hell just happened?
“Your stupid self is what just happened doofus” was Alastair’s reply.
Great. Here we go again with the taunts.
“Then stop behaving like an asshole towards her.”
I ignored him and looked at the girl in front of me. She was still smiling at me. I gave her a small smile and declined her attempts towards me by saying, “I’m with her.”
She gave me a seductive smile, inching closer towards me, to close for my liking and said, “Looks like you WERE with her. She made that very clear, that you aren’t anymore. So it won’t harm.”
She is clearly not getting the point, is she?
“Listen here bitch. I’m going to say this once. Leave before I make you regret it” I said gritting my teeth.
She still didn’t move away instead she moved closer to my ear and whispered, “I’d love to see what all you could do to me for disobeying you” ending it with a smirk of her own.
I pushed her away from me and shouted, “You are disgusting” before throwing away some money on the table and making my way outside. When I reached outside, Bella was nowhere to be seen. Where did she go? What happened that made her angry?
Women are confusing.
“And you are a dick” growled Alastair.
“What the hell is your problem?” I barked back at him.
“Are you kidding me?” was his lame ass reply.
“Seriously I’m lost here. Care to elaborate?” I retorted.
“You convinced her to eat breakfast with you and then when you actually got your chance to get close to her; you blew it up” yelled Alastair.
“I didn’t do anything” I shouted back.
“Oh you did enough” was his comment which was laced with sarcasm.
“Will you just tell me what happened?” I asked, this time tired of our bickering.
“You ignored her man.”
“I did no such thing.”
“Sure. Whatever you say” was his reply as he started walking away.
“Just tell me what’s wrong, so I could fix it” I begged.
“I don’t think you’ll be able to fix this one.”
I was tired of having a debate with Alastair, but I knew I need him right now. Only he could help me with this, since he can contact Bella’s wolf and convince her to forgive me. SO I said something that is a rare thing to come out from my mouth, “PLEASE.”
Desperate times lead to desperate measures.
I think it worked because I heard Alastair sighing before he said “You went to the diner with her. How many times did you actually speak to her?”
No reply from me.
“How many times did you call her with those cute nicknames you usually use?”
No reply again.
“How many times did you respond to that waitress?”
Quite a few times.
“How many times did you let that waitress know that Bella was someone special to you?”
None.
“How many times did you actually smile at the waitress, irrespective of Bella sitting right in front of you?”
A few times I guess.
“Do you still need me to give you a reason for why she is pissed?”
SILENCE
“Speak up asshole” Alastair shouted at me, furious at my silence.
“SHIT. She thinks I was flirting with the waitress.”
“She doesn’t have to think that, because clearly you were flirting with that waitress” was his sarcastic reply.
“No I wasn’t” I replied, acting appalled by his comment. He just rolled his eyes at me as if mocking me at my denial.
How is that possible for a wolf to do it?
When I think about it for a second, I do feel guilty for it. Knowingly or unknowingly, but it was the truth that I was flirting with that girl even when my mate was sitting right in front of me. For my defense, I can say that I didn’t do it on purpose or intentionally. I was just being nice to her and maybe the girl took it as a signal that I am interested in her; which I’m most certainly am not. Who would be a fool enough to ignore Bella for some bitch?
Most probably YOU.
Moving my thoughts back to Bella, I need to explain this to her. I take my phone and try calling her, but it’s of no use; since it’s switched off. Damn woman. Who the hell switches their phone off, when you know people might be worried about you?
“You’re the one to talk?” Alastair passes his snide comment.
I am too busy trying to think of a way to contact her, when I feel an arm slide on my shoulder. I turn around to see who it is. Let me tell you, I wasn’t shocked even for a second when I saw who it was. It was none other than the waitress who was serving us food. I shrugged her hands off my arm and started walking towards the campus. Just as I’m about to step away from the pavement, she pulls me away and latches her arms around my neck, slowly leaning forward while staring at my lips. I place my hands on her arms about to push her away and the exact minute I see Bella rolling out of the campus in her car. Our eyes meet for a second before her eyes drift to the bitch that has latched herself on me and a tear slips from her eyes. She looks pissed and heartbroken at the same time. I call out her name to stop her from moving, but it’s too late when she speeds off to somewhere. Just as I turn towards the bitch to give her a piece of my mind, I see another familiar car rolling out and none other than Ryan is sitting in it. He looks between me and the bitch for a few times before turning away with a look of disgust on his face. That is the exact moment I realize what is about to happen.
That’s when I realize, I’m SCREWED.
Ryan’s P.O.V.I was in the parking lot of our college when I saw Bella running towards her car, eyes glazed with unshed tears. I didn’t realize when my legs turned in her direction and I started running towards her, but she was lost in her own thoughts to even notice me. She took a seat in her car and started backing her car out. I called her name out a few times, yet no response. Why is she crying? Matt told that she was going to have breakfast with Mason. What happened to upset her so much? Who could have bee….
MASON
I swear to the Moon Goddess, if he made her cry I am going to make him pay for every tear she sheds. With that thought in my mind, I make my way towards my car and start it in order to follow Bella. She was already upset, now all thanks to her mate she is angry.
Not a great combination at all.
I am a few meters away from her, as she pulls her car outside the campus gate and slows down a little looking at her side. What is she looking at? Soon she accelerates the car and speed of towards God knows where. When I reach the campus gate, I turn towards the side where Bella was looking earlier and the sight that meets my eyes pisses me to no end.
Mason is standing there with a bitch, whose hands are wrapped around his neck. The bitch is staring at him as if she could eat him up in the exact moment, without any shame and regret. I seethe at Mason’s shocked face, he seriously is an asshole. How could he do this to Bella? He picked that piece of shit, instead of Bella? Like seriously, for real?
He has some really bad taste in woman.
I speed up my car, driving right behind Bella. She doesn’t take the turn that leads to our pack house, so that strikes my option of her going back home. If she isn’t going home then where is she going? My question is answered when I see her taking a right turn at a particular junction, driving towards a muddy road. I know exactly where she is going.
Our Cabin.
But why would she come here? Alone? We come here in a group of five. Have been coming here since the age of 12, no one comes here alone. I spot her parking her car in the parking shed; as she slowly makes her way towards the door. She takes out her bunch of keys and inserts the key which belonged to the cabin’s lock. It opens up within a second. Without even waiting for a second, she walks inside and slams the door shut. I park my car a little away from the house and start walking towards the house.
I’m almost at the back of the house, when I see her from the kitchen window. She removes the tub of Ice cream from the freezer and packet of potato wafers from the overhead cabinet and makes her way towards the living area. She is going to stuff herself with junk food, this is not good. I take my phone out and call a pizza place and order 2 large pizza stuffed with cheese, corn and jalapenos; informing the place to deliver as soon as possible and make my way inside.
When I enter inside, I’m met with total silence. No one would guess someone was inside, especially that someone being Bella. She was loud, wherever she maybe, it was easy to spot her because of her cheerful and always looking for trouble attitude. She wasn’t the friendliest of person to be known but she wasn’t exactly the bitchy type either. She would talk to anyone who comes to her with a beautiful smile on her face but never went to someone else to talk herself first. She wasn’t comfortable with the idea of being close to other people except us.
I guessed she must be in the movie room; it was the room which consisted of triple sized king bed, customized for that room so that all five of us could fit in it and still have space left over. We all had our personal rooms with an entertainment room which was in the basement; it was loaded with loads of games. The movie room was on the first floor with 3 other bedrooms, whereas the ground level consisted of living area, a small kitchen and two bedrooms. The sub ground level was entertainment level with a bar located at one end of the room. The front yard consisted of deck region and lawn area which had recliners spread across it, to relax on and enjoy the beautiful lake view. The lawn had a barbeque zone with a large wooden dining table and benches on either side.
In all, the house was pretty much beautiful and equipped. The reason I thought she might be in the movie room is because she loved that large bed. She always said that it let her spread her wings wide enough and still left space for more. I made my way towards the kitchen, opening the fridge I took the large packet of fries. Taking a tray I poured the whole packet out, sprinkling some oil on it with some salt; I put it inside the oven and set the timer for 20 minutes. Once I’m sure done with the snack department, I make my way upstairs.
Slowly peeking inside the room, I see Bella sprawled on the bed, on her stomach with a pillow tucked under her head and her arms folded over her head. I clear my throat; she moves a little to sound clear and says, “Go away Ry.” I smile at her stupidity and say, “You know I can’t do that.” She moves her hand towards the headboard and I already know what she is about to do. I duck down just as a pillow comes my way.
I pick the pillow and jump on the bed beside her, settling the pillow below my head and lay on it. She moves her face in the opposite direction to avoid looking at me and I let her. I caress her head with my hand, slowly massaging her scalp and feel her relax a bit. I know this calms her down, sometimes even makes her fall asleep. After a few minutes of doing the same, I sense her slow breathing, notifying me that she is already asleep. If I know her well, which I do; I know she will be waking up in less than 30 minutes. It’s always been like that, her thoughts go wild and keep running through her mind to make it really hard for her to have a peaceful sleep.
I check her one more time, before picking up the empty ice cream carton and leaving the room. I make my way downstairs and throw the box in the garbage bin. Setting my ass down on the couch in the living room, I take my phone out to inform others about our location. I don’t really know if they saw that we both were missing from college, but I do know that at some point of the day, Rose might.
And my doubts are confirmed when I have a few missed calls from none other than Rose accompanied by a few messages as well.
Rose: Why aren’t you in class?
Rose: Rachel told me she saw you leaving?
Rose: And why is Mason searching for Bella?
Rose: Do you know where Bells is?
Rose: Are you with her?
Rose: Is she okay?
Rose: RYAN MONTGOMERY. YOU BETTER REPLY TO MY TEXTS, UNLESS AND UNTIL YOU WANT ME TO RELEASE AN ORDER OF SHOOT AT SIGHT FOR YOU.
Rose: CALL ME BACK THIS INSTANT.
God. This woman is so impatient. The time difference between some texts is not even 10 seconds. Who does she think I’m, a texting Superhero? I reply her back before she starts throwing banter and makes Matt go crazy.
Me: I saw Bella leaving, so I followed her. She is at the CABIN, sleeping right now. I’m with her and I think that you should come here after college. MASON IS AN ASSHOLE. Do not tell him or that prick Caleb about Bella’s whereabouts. Call me once you’re done with classes.
A few minutes pass by; I’m slowly drifting to sleep when my phone starts ringing. I look at the caller’s name and shake my head at her desperation. Picking up the call the first thing I hear is, “I’m on my way.”
“Whoa... What did I tell you? Come after you’re done with college” I remind her.
“Shut it Ry. You know I won’t be able to focus anyway. It’s a total waste of time, if I spend it over here. SO I’M COMING” she shouts back.
“Geez woman. Calm your tits. No need to shout.”
She grumbles something under her breath which I can’t make out, so I continue, “Stop grumbling you mountain giant and listen to me. I need you get us food. Everything you can get your hands on.”
“Already on it. Bye” and disconnects the call.
I have a total of three women in my life; one being my mother, second being Bella and the third being Rose. And let me tell you, all are a total pain in my ass.
