You!” Her eyes widen as she gasps, I push off the ground and slowly climb to my feet never taking my gaze off her, she trembles under the pressure of my stare. “Go home, go back to your daddy and take your brothers with you.” Fresh tears roll down her cheeks.
“You don’t mean that!” She argues but it’s futile.

Chapter thirty-seven
One Month Later
Belle
Isipmylavendertea as I gaze out over the landscape below us, it is such a cliché, but Alexander lives in a castle. He told me this place has been passed down through the generations and will one day be mine, the thing is I don’t want it. Alex has been great at helping me try to control my visions, I don’t sleepwalk or black out completely now. He says that once the transition is complete the pain will lessen, my human brain can’t the force of my visions. The bonus about becoming a vampire is that my visions won’t kill me. It’s weird being here with him but I won’t lie, I am beyond grateful for his help. I have never felt in control of mygiftbefore, and within just a few weeks with him I can now navigate through them without passing out for hours. I’m still learning, but honestly for the first time in my life, I have hope.
There is only one thing I want right now, unfortunately that can’t happen. Thoughts of him plague my mind daily––hourly––if I’m being honest. I miss him so much it hurts, the last time we saw each other was at Sky’s burial. He and Callie agreed that she should be laid to rest where both their families are buried. He carried her casket but refused to speak, he stayed at the very back of the crowd and once it was over, he was already gone. We all learned that it was Davina that set up the attack on her Island, Creed is livid and out for blood because he now knows, his bio mom was the one who allowed Jess to be taken. Jess and Meg were distraught to learn that Davina is the reason that Kane and Shelley are dead, A shiver runs down my spine at the thought of this woman.
I haven’t heard from him or seen him since the funeral. Jess, Cole, Creed and even Callie checks in with me regularly. Last I heard from Jess was that Zeke returned in the middle of the night taking half of Cairo’s pack with him but wouldn’t give them any details concerning his whereabouts. Jess told me Creed is taking Davina’s betrayal hard, Cole and Callie have stayed back with them until Davina is found, their whole pack is on lockdown.
I visited my father before we left for Romania, I expected him to be angry that I was leaving and choosing this way of life, but he wasn’t. He told me that he would love me no matter what, and that he will always support my decision. I didn’t have the energy to get into any deep conversation about my upbringing and him not telling me about Alexander so we left it. We both know we will have to speak about it one day but until then we just deal with awkward elephant in the room.
“It’s getting cold Belle.” I peer over my shoulder and smile at Hunter.
“I want to feel everything before I can’t anymore.” In two days’ time, Alex and I will visit the hospital and do what needs to be done. An elderly man wishes to die, due to being diagnosed with a brain tumor which is terminal, but the doctors forbid it, when Alex approached him about our situation the man eagerly agreed and eventhankedus. My stomach is tied up in knots, but with Cairo MIA at the moment, I’m all our baby has, and I have to survive. Hunter drops down beside me and not a second later Blake and Cass are joining us. We sit here in silence as we watch the sunset.
“Thank you guys.”
“For what?”
“For dropping everything and coming here with me, Blake. I know it’s hard for you guys to be away from the pack and I just want you to know, I’m so grateful.” I’m so emotional these days, thanks to my hormones; I brush away the stray tear and ignore my asshole brother’s laughter.
“We would follow you anywhere sister––.”
“Gabrielle!” The four of us are on our feet and spinning around at the panicked tone of Alexanders voice, he rushes toward us and hands me a phone. I look at it for a second before grabbing it and placing it against my ear while I hold Alex’s gaze.
“Hello?”
“It’s me.” My legs nearly give out, Cass wraps his arm around my waist to hold me up.
“C-Cairo, where are you?”
“I’m coming beauty but right now you all need to run!” My eyes widen and Alex keeps darting his gaze around. If he is worried, then something is up, not much rattles this man’s cage, I mean he’s an original vampire and stronger than anyone I know.
“Why? Cairo, what’s going on?”
“She took Sky’s power.”
“How? Sky…died with her power.” I hold my breath thinking that my reminding him of her death will anger him.
“Sky’s body went missing three days after the funeral, a…friend spotted Davina crossing the border from Serbia into Romania. I’ll explain everything when I get to you, but right now you have to listen to Alex and run––.” I don’t get a chance to reply, a loud bang sounds out and the ground beneath us begins to shake. The phone tumbles from my hand, Cass plucks me off my feet so I’m bride style in his arms.
“She’s here, you all have to run. I’ll hold her off for as long as I can.” Tears gather in my eyes as I look at Alex.
“Come with us, we can––.” He cuts me off.
