The tension in the room was rising. Not just from Clark, Aidens father, but also Marie and Aiden himself. They were all watching my parents, straightening their backs and readying themselves.”What did you say?” My dad asked and stood straight. Clark was bigger, broader shoulders and form but my dad was an asshole with a big ego so he wouldn't back down.”I said-” Clark said and stepped around the table, got up closer to my father and stared him dead in the eye. ”-It’s time for you to leave. Gabriella is now a part of our family and our pack. She is this packs Luna and nobody, reagldeless of whether or not they are blood, will treat her with disrespect. Therefor, I'm asking you kindly, to leave.”My mother slowly stood from her seat and took a stance next to my dad. ”I think maybe we’ve taken a bad turn here, why don't we speak with Gabby in private and afterwards we will be on our way home,” Mom said and placed her hand on dads arm. They turned their heads and looked at me. Me an

’Can you meet?’ I stared at the screen and nervously chewed on my fingernail while waiting for a reply. She probably wasn't even awake.’On my way’ relief washed over me when she answered and I got dressed and walked outside. Cassy drove up and picked me up. We walked around the dark and quiet town before sitting down on a bench and I told her about my brothers plan.”So, you’re really leaving?” She asked and I heard the sadness in her voice, she wasn't trying to mask it.”I can't stay, my life isn't my own and it hasn't been, ever. I need to take it back,” I said.”I understand, do you know when?””No, they said they’d call once they had a plan but I don't know when that’s gonna be,” she nodded her head and grabbed my hand. ”You deserve to live a life of your own choosing so whatever you need, I'll help you,” she said and smiled.We went back to the house and me and Cassy were in the gaming room watching movies until the sun rose. During one of the movies we had both fallen asleep

Nick’s hand was reached out in front of Aiden and the tension rose around us. It thickened for each sedond that Aiden didn't grab it. Aidens eyes were narrowed but he looked relaxed. His chest was puffed out, his shoulders rolled back and he looked down at Nick’s hand, seemingly analyzing the situation and the words Nick had just said. ”We are.” He said and shook his hand. I released a visible breath and y shoulders sunk. My brothers grinned and Edmund started jumping around. He grabbed my shoulders and guided me away. ”Tell us everything, how’s it been?” Edmund asked and brought me over to a stub where we sat down and talked. Nick patted Aiden’s shoulder and the two walked off, I had no idea where to but I'm guessing to talk about something that the rest of us weren't allowed to hear. Obviously. I told them about how it had been living here, obviously leaving out all of the bad parts, so it wasn't a long story. I didn't want to tell them about Sam and Cole or the girls that made

Cassy wasn't at breakfast and she wasn't answering my texts or calls so I went over to her house to make sure she was fine. I drove up to her house and parked the car. I hadn't seen it before but it was darling and much bigger than I had expected. It was a quaint two-story house with a front side porch and a back yard that was fenced in. I knocked on the door and her father, I assumed, opened up. ”Hi there, how can I help you?” He asked with a bright smile. ”Hi, sir, I'm Gabby, a friend of Cassy’s. I was wondering if she’s here,” ”Gabby? Oh dear, you’re the Luna, where are my manners-” he became a little stressed and reached out his hand, opening the door fully and inviting me in. ”-it’s a pleasure to meet you. Please, come in,” he said and shook my hand. ”Oh no that’s okay, I'm just looking for Cassy,” I said. ”She’s at work, she will be back in about an hour but please, come in, I'll make us some coffee.” I couldn't just turn around and leave, he looked so hopeful standing t

I was up in the room and with a shaky hand I picked up my phone and dialed. ”Hey!” ”The plan, walk me through it, what do I have to do?” ”Gabby, is everything alright?” ”Just get me out of here!” I threw clothes into my bags, closing them up and cramming down whatever I could as fast as I could. The door opened and my head jerked up, terrified to see Aidenw aalking in but it was Cassy who ran inside. ”Cassy, I'm sorry but I can’t-” She started pulling my clothes out and pushing them down in my bags. She went into the bathroom and grabbed all of my products. ”You’re leaving this fucking place.” She spat and closed all the bags. We put them by the door and she huffed a breath and looked at me. ”You don't deserve this, all the pain you've been through, you deserve none of it.” She said. ”When will they be here?” She asked. ”In twenty minutes.” I said and looked at the clock. ”I’ll take two of the bags downstairs, do you need anything else?” I looked around the room. ”There
