Bella’s POV
How am I going to get out of here. I don’t know anyone in Tennessee. I’m lost in my thoughts when two girls walk in the room. One is a women in her 40s with black hair and blue eyes just like Blake. The other is about 16 or so years old with black hair and brown eyes. Which I’m guessing is Blake’s sister.
“Hello Dear, I’m Rose. I am Blake’s mother” the older women says.
“And I’m Britney, I’m Blake’s sister” says the younger one.
“Why are you sitting in the corner deer? Is something wrong ?”
“Umm..well, this morning I woke up in my room, excited about my 18th birthday and moving out on Saturday to walk downstairs and find out Iv been offered up as part of a peace treaty. With no say about my life or what I want.”
“Wait you were not informed before today?” His mom says with a worried tone.
“No I was not.” I state with anger
“Well this has been in plan for several years deer. Let’s move past it and go shopping.” Rose says with a smile.
“We need to get some clothes and a dress for the party” Britney squealed.
“Wait!!! years and my uncle didn’t tell me anything. I mean seriously. Well if my uncle would have told me I could of informed you before the treaty had been signed that I found my mate on Monday so I can’t be Blake’s mate!” I say the last part with a firm tone.
“It’s to late deer. The treaty has been signed and you will be Blake’s mate. There is no point fighting it deer. Blake is so happy that you are going to be his mate. He has been carrying a picture of you around for years.”
This information is so confusing to me. I have a stupid headache forming. I put my hands on my forehead and take a few deep breaths.
“Come on deer” Blake’s mom picks me up and drags me out of the room.
We walk down the hall and down the stairs and out the front door to the car waiting.
“Wait mom, where are you 3 going?” I hear Blake yell.
“Shopping Deer. Bella’s has no clothes, no female products and no hygiene supplies.”
“Just keep a eye on her please mom, you too Britney.” He says in a stern tone.
“Bye Bella” he says before kissing my forehead.
I need to act along with this so I can find a way out. I give him a small smile as I climb in the car.
We arrive at the mall and I get d**g into every store possible. Blake’s mom and sister must love shopping. I have way to many clothes and shoes and 90% of them are not my style at all. At least they bought me a new phone. I will text Damien later when I can find a safe way to leave.
It’s been 4 days since I arrived in Tennessee. I have been trying to act like I’m happy and not a flight risk. Sleeping in the same bed doesn’t bother me because he has been respectful in his touching. But he likes to kiss me and hold me. I need to get out.
I finally text Damien. Got I miss him so much.
-I am safe but in 10 days he will be doing to blood bonding ritual with me. Apparently this has been planned for years. I am going to find a way to escape. Don’t worry.
I need to convince Britney to take me shopping so I can get away. There is a big forest behind the mall.
“Hey Britney, would you like to go shopping? I need to find a dress for the ritual next week?” I ask in my nicest voice”
“Yes!!!” She squealed
Finally after hours of shopping we stop at the food court. This is my chance.
“I’m going to stop by the bathroom. Get me a Chick-Fil-A sandwich with a sweet tea” I say with a smile.
I head off in the direction of the bathroom and make a quick exit out the back doors. I head off into the forest by the mall. I just need to find a place to hide and I will contact Damien.
I use my magic to Cloak myself and hide in a hallowed out tree and cry.
Damien POV
It’s been 4 days since I last saw and spoke to Bella. I’m always on edge and the slightest thing brings the demon out.
“We will get her back son” my dad says to me.
We got an invite to the blood retrial. Not knowing that I am her mate and my father doing work with Brian Cult. It will give us an easy way in. Suddenly my phone dings and I am so excited when I see the message.
-I am safe but in 10 days he will be doing to blood bonding ritual with me. Apparently this has been planned for years. I am going to find a way to escape. Don’t worry.
I go running into my dads office.
“Dad, dad she text me. She’s alright. She says this has been planned for years!”
“Calm down son. We will get her back.”
My eyes are black and I have to leave the office before I destroy it. My father is on the phone arranging alleys to help.
Don’t worry baby girl we are coming for you.
