ANNABELLA’S POV
” How about we have lunch?”
” What do you think Bella?” I pulled my gaze from the window with less interest.” We are planning to have lunch on our way, do you want to join us? This restaurant is owned by Caleb,” Dalia said proudly, and I immediately shook my head, not interested.” I don’t feel like having anything.”
” Are you okay?” Caleb asked, even though his voice was a bit cold but the words blended very well with it. ” What are you saying? She replied, and I immediately sensed her jealousy. What a child’s play! I went back to staring out the window.
It has been a long since I came out, but I wasn’t feeling any happiness.
It was Sage’s idea I ride with Caleb because the driver who brought me was his driver and he had something to take care of.
The car took a turn and halted in front of a fancy building.
‘ Humans.’ Eve’s bored voice made me roll my eyes. I wasn’t sure what I was thinking when I took Callicious’ offer seriously, but it wouldn’t hurt to know what was going on. I felt like everyone was hiding something from me, especially Madeline.
Roman better have a good reason to send me here; if not, I wouldn’t forgive him.
” We will head in first but if you change your mind.” Dalia stepped out of the car and hooked her arm around Caleb, and I couldn’t help but scoff. Caleb wasn’t into her.
I didn’t have my phone with me to help me kill time; everything about my life had suddenly turned upside down. I suddenly thought of Kelly, I wondered how many times she might have called me.
It was very frustrating.
I stepped out of the car to go use the washroom, but I saw someone heading to the other shop, and she looked very much like Juliet. She was walking with an unfamiliar man.
What was Juliet doing around here? Wasn’t she in the pack? I wasn’t sure if it was her or not, so I decided to follow her. The crowd pulling in and out of the building was frustrating, but thank God I didn’t miss the scent I felt was familiar.
I lost her when I was finally out of the crowd. Where the hell did she go? I started from left to right, back and front. Or maybe it wasn’t Juliet? I wasn’t sure even though her scent was a bit different from the usual.
I finally gave up and turned to leave. When I got to the car, Caleb and Dalia were already there and waiting for me. ” You should have told us you didn’t want to eat with us.” I effortlessly ignored her comment. ” Keeping us waiting is very rude of you.” She whispered angrily under her throat. ” Dalia,” Caleb warned.
” Who the hell is she to keep us waiting?” It seemed she didn’t get the warning in his voice. ” Because of her, you didn’t let me eat my food and instead ordered a takeout. How can I be comfortable with that?”
Caleb stopped the car and picked up his phone. ” Can you drop Dalia for me?”
” Sean will pick you up.” without a protest, Dalia angrily stamped on the ground with her high heels.
” Come to the front.” He said, and I wondered what was going on, but I didn’t say anything and jumped on the front seat. I heard Dalia growl as the car took off.
” Where are we going?” I hope he wasn’t passing me over because I didn’t have the energy to be moving from places.
” Get off.” Why was he this cold and bossy? Sometimes I feel like Caleb was a bit similar to Roman. When I found out they weren’t actual siblings I thought it was wired.” He is waiting for you in there.” I turned my head, trying to understand what he meant. ” We don’t have the whole day.” He spoke as if irritated by my action, not as if I cared about his anger.
Dalia was the only female who could tolerate an arrogant, cold asshole like him.” I never asked for a drive around the city, nor did I request any favor from you.” I raised a brow at him.
” Get in the car then?” He said, and just when I turned to pull the door open, I saw Roman standing at the entrance of the building.
His piercing dark blue eyes staring at me, my hand squeezed the hard metal of the car door.
‘ mate ‘ Eve announced.
I had no idea how long I had been gripping the poor thing but when I finally calmed down and decided to take a step forward.
I saw Juliet coming out of the building with a smile. She was wearing the same red dress I thought I saw on her a few minutes ago.
With my eyes burning with tears, I sat in the car and shut the door.
My thumb kept rubbing on the huge diamond sitting on the ring; I was too irritated to even think straight. Did we bump into them by accident or ….
I turned my head to look at Caleb, who was focused on driving us back safely. Did he bring me here so I could see for myself?
” What are you thinking?” I didn’t think he cared enough to know how I was feeling, so I just ignored him.
After three weeks of not seeing him, the first time I set my eyes on him he was with that bitch.
I wiped the tears off my face, and I immediately asked Caleb to stop the car. I was in so much pain. Why would Roman do this to me?
I hate him for cheating and sending me away from the pack. If he wanted me out of his pack so much, why didn’t he tell it to my face?
” Bella, I think ….”
” You should go pick Dalia up; I will be fine,” I told him before stepping out of the car. I have been living in the demon territory for weeks, I didn’t want to live there anymore.
I have my wolf now, going rogue was the only option.
I crossed the road, and before I could climb the next road when I felt a sudden dizziness.
