Isabella’s P.O.V.It was one hell of a drive, driving together to the same destination yet in different cars; though I’m not going to deny that I need the space to clear my mind since his presence was over powering my senses to think rationally and I really asked the Moon Goddess to bless whoever thought that leaving my car behind would be a great idea, the distance was much needed before I ended up doing something really stupid and later feel embarrassed about it; my thoughts weren’t really pure when he was standing that close to me.
They never are.
We made it to our pack borders and I stopped to bid adieu, when his car was right beside mine. I rolled down my window just as he did and so I said, “This will be my stop. Drop me a message when you reach HOME” emphasizing on the word Home, to make sure he does it, only when he reaches home. I know I should believe him when he says he doesn’t have a date, but come on; a little bit of jealousy should be expected from me after all he is a fucking Greek God, to cry out loud. He chuckles at my statement and replies, “Yupppp… will do” extending the p a little too much for my liking; I glared at him and started my car, making my way towards my house without any other word.
He is being Sneaky about it, why? And Cheesy as well.
I shut my car’s engine down and run towards the door, it is almost 8 now. When I enter the house, the first thing that leaves my mouth is, “I’m so sorry” which brings everyone’s attention towards me; that’s when I notice not only Rose but Ryan and Matt are here as well. My brothers’ are playing with their toys which are scattered on the carpet in front of the television set, whereas the boys are busy playing call of duty, Rose and my sisters are in the kitchen cooking dinner; on hearing my voice all of their attention turns towards me. My brothers’ come running towards me shouting “Mommy here” “Mommy” “Mommy late”, latching to my legs; I bend down to come face to face with my munchkins as I engulf them in my arms, we are busy in our own bubble when Matt’s phone starts ringing.
All our attentions are diverted towards him; he looks at the wall clock once and is expression changes from shocked to conscious. He picks it up and says, “Hey man. Wassup?”
Did he just say Wassup?
“umhmm okay. I’ll be there in a minute” is what he says next, before getting up and making his way towards Rose. He gestures Ryan with a nod of his head and Ryan whines, “Can’t we go tomorrow?” Matt shakes his head to deny his request and Ryan being the sweet boy that he is, gets up and starts walking towards me. Matt tells Rose something, to which she just nods and even he starts walking towards me. I can’t help but ask, “Where are you’ll going?” Ryan shrugs and walks past me, while I stare at Matt constantly; he finally covers under my gaze and says, “We are going out for dinner with a friend of ours.”
They too? Dinner?
Isn’t it too much of a coincidence, why does it feel that they are going out with Mason? I look at Matt once over analyzing his body posture and trying to figure out what is going on, after a minute he tries to move aside and leave when I raise my hand to block his path as I ask, “While you’re at it, would you mind doing me a favor?” “Yeah sure, what is it? Want me to bring your some food?” he asks. I shake my head with a small smile as I say, “Take my interrogation recordings with you and show them to him.”
“Him?” he asks.
“You suck at acting Matty. I have a feeling that this dinner you are talking about is with Mason, isn’t it?” I ask, on hearing this he turns speechless which confirms my doubts about this so called dinner. I continue with a smile, “Now go. Don’t keep my man waiting and don’t forget show it to him, also answer all his questions. I trust you idiots for providing him with nothing else but the truth.”
He nods at my request, engulfing me in a warm hug and pecks my head before leaving. As he walks out, I remember that I didn’t leave any message for Mason to make him aware that I know about his work related dinner, so I shout at Matt, “Also tell Mason, he dare not forget to drop me a call as soon as he reaches home; don’t forget to emphasize on the word Home Matty.” He acknowledges my words with thumbs up and runs towards the woods, most probably at the spot where I left him. I hear giggles from behind me and turn to look at the person responsible for it, when I see a woman and two girls enjoying my condition; while my brothers are already back at their earlier position.
“That was cute” says Mia.
“Whipped!” mumbles Iris.
“He must have some great package huh, if he turned you into a mushy sucker” is Rose’s stupid comment.
On hearing their comments I cover up my ears and say, “Goodness ladies. There are kids right here.”
“Avoiding the elephant in the room is not going to help Bella darling, I want all the deets” Rose demands.
“Nothing happened. We just slept, that’s all” I reply as I turn around them making my way towards the stairs.
“BORING!!!” shouts Iris.
“Oh please. If I know you, which I do and that’s why I know something happened or was about to happen when you behaved as a Party pooper and destroyed one good chance of getting laid. So now tell me which one was it?” she asks again.
“ROSE” I shout to make her shut herself up, but the blush that’s rising on my cheek betrays me as it does not go unnoticed by her.
“You ruined it, didn’t you bitch?” she asks.
“Mommy, Auntie Rose said a bad word” said a voice from the living area which belonged to none other than Lucas.
This is what I was worried about.
I glare at Rose and she instantly shuts up, holding her ears as she says to him, “Sorry Lucas. I won’t say it again.”
“Mommy put her in a time-out, she is being a bad girl” now this was Theo’s suggestion and on hearing this Rose knew she couldn’t get herself out of it, so she slowly made her way to the corner and sat down facing the wall, without waiting for my word.
That’s what you get for talking nasty in front of them.
Mason’s P.O.V.“Dude she told me to tell you not to forget to call her once you reach HOME” said Matthew as soon as he arrived near my car. Instantly a smile rose on my face and I heard Matt cough, “Whipped!”
She knows!
I nodded at his statement as well as the comment while they settled in the car. We were going to a diner that Matt suggested. It was a 15 minutes ride, which was filled with silence; none of use talked, I guess I wasn’t the only one who had something on his mind.
As soon as we reached there, Ryan walked towards a table that was located at the far end of the diner; we followed him and got settled, as a boy somewhere around the age of 16 or 17 came to take our orders. Once we were done with the orders, Matt cleared his throat which directed my attention towards him; he gulped once as if to wet his dry throat and said, “Bella told me to show you her interrogation videos and because she trusts you, so do we. That is the only reason to show you this and after watching these, you can ask me whatever you want to. She made me promise her that I’ll answer all your questions truthfully and I don’t break my promises, at least not the ones made to her and Rose” he paused, taking a tablet out of his pocket and clicking on the screen a few times, then slowly moving it towards me, he continued, “Here it is, I don’t think you need to hear it, watching it will be more than enough to answer your questions about who is Bella, but still if you still want to hear it than plug in these” passing me the earphones as he suggested, “and then listen.”
On the screen was a guy, who was tied up to the chair with silver chains and Matthew was sitting in front of him with his arms folded, as a few men stood behind the culprit. The first thing that caught my eye was the date, it was yesterday night around 9, that was the time when I texted her. Without playing it, I asked, “This has yesterday’s date on it, is he the Rogue you were talking about?”
He nodded, not satisfied with his nod, I asked again, “What did he do?”
Matt looked at me, pain evident in his eyes as he said, “He raped an eight year old girl” without even realizing I asked, “Why?” anger laced in my question, disgusted about the guy who was inhuman enough to rape a little girl. Matt looked at me and said, “Because she is black.”
“What?” I shouted back at his answer, gaining attention from a few other people around us; mumbling a sorry I turned my attention back to the screen as I asked, “Where is he now?”
“Dead” replied Matt, I couldn’t help but ask, “She did it?”
“Yes.”
I was proud of her, she knew how to deal with people who did such hideous crimes, who were the real Monsters; yet she thought she was a monster. Without wasting any more time, I clicked the play button on the screen, plugging the earphones and focusing my attention towards the scene before me.
“So let’s begin. Shall we?” she asked the guy who was in chains; he was not scared of her at all.
“Do you have a name?” is my first question to which the bastard smiles and replies with, “You don’t scare me PRINCESS.”
How dare he call my girl, Princess!
I can see her smirk at him as she asks again, “Name?”
“The name’s David” he answers this time, the smile is still plastered to his face.
“Next question, WHY?” she asks.
He grins evilly at her question and answers, “It’s what she was made for.”
What the fuck does he mean by that?
The man standing behind the culprit is quite tensed, but I’m too focused on my woman to care about him right now.
“Care to elaborate?” she questions back.
He smirks back at her, the nerve this asshole has.
He gestures towards the man who is standing behind him, the one who was tensed a few minutes earlier and says, “They are born to be our slaves PRINCESS.”
He is lucky, he died or else I would have given him a piece of my mind now.
After a few seconds of silence, he chuckles and “BLACK” is all he says.
I can sense the disgust in her words when she asks, “You raped the kid because she is a Black Female?” He smiles at her words and say, “That’s right PRINCESS.”
She is not your Princess, douche bag.
I see her walking towards him as she bends to his height, tilting his face to look him in the eye, “You’re going to regret this” she says with an evil smile.
“Who is going to make me regret it PRINCESS? You?” he says and starts laughing menacingly. She starts laughing louder than him and slowly his voice dies down and he looks at her with a horrified expression.
Basic Human Psychology, that’s my girl.
“You think my Alpha is stupid? Why would he leave you with me, if he thought I was incapable of teaching you a fucking lesson?” she barks at him.
I hear him say, “I’m not scared of you PRINCESS.”
“You will be” is all she says. Turning her attention towards the men standing behind the guy, she says, “Get him out of this chair and tie his hands to the hook.” Both of them start to unchain his hands and legs from the silver restraints. As they are busy removing his chains, he speaks again, “I seriously think you should call your Daddy for this deed PRINCESS. Doesn’t look like your cup of tea.”
Bella smirks at him, just as one of her men is tying his hands back to hook them up, she says, “NAKED.” All three guys tense on hearing that word and her warrior looks up at her for confirmation. She looks at him and roars back, “I said NAKED.”
Looking at the guy’s horrified expression she says, “And yes. You’re right. It’s not my cup of Tea. I’d prefer calling it more like my shot of Whiskey” with a smirk of her own; continuing it with “As for the comment about calling my Daddy. By the time I’m done with you, you’ll know that I’m much worse than my Daddy could ever be.”
As I continued to watch further on, I realized that it was just the beginning.
