“They are here to get Stella and be their hostage!” Tyros came from getting information from the sentinels. “Why is my father not here?” Brandon asked his friend, “He knew that you would save Stella from them.” Tyros answered. Sky appeared and looked at Tyros, “What if he didn’t save them? My sister and her best friend are inside of that damn house.” Sky told them, which made Brandon look at him.
“Can you just wait? We are still thinking of a proper way to save them.” Brandon told him, and Sky smirked at Brandon. “Then think faster!” Sky answered, and Tyros immediately went between them. “We don’t have time for that, guys!” Tyros said and looked around.
“They are already aware of our presence now!” Tyros told them, “Is there any door at the back?” Sky asked Brandon.
Brandon was thinking if there was a door at the back of their house, but he couldn’t remember anything. “You are the owner of the damn house, Brandon!” Sky told him, and Brandon remained quiet. “Can you just stay silent for a while?” Brandon asked him, and Tyros stopped them again from quarrelling.
“We need to help each other to make—
Tyros couldn’t finish what he was saying when Brandon shifted into his wolf form and attacked his house. Sky followed him, and Tyros didn’t have a choice but to follow them.
A battle between the three of them against the rogues started. Stella saw how Brandon attacked the rogue in front of her. It was her sign to protect herself, “Help me!” Flora told her.
They removed the rope that was on their body, and Stella immediately shifted into her wolf form. She was helping them to fight the rogues while Flora went outside the house.
The battle took a long time, and the last rogues were killed by Brandon, “Hey! That’s enough!” Tyros stopped Brandon right away when he tried to attack the rogue again. “He is still breathing!” Brandon said and glared at Tyros. “We need one of them to be alive!” Tyros told him, which made Brandon stop hurting the rogue again.
“Fine!” Brandon said and looked for Stella. He was looking inside their house and saw Stella talking to Sky. “He did that?” Stella asked Sky and didn’t notice Brandon’s presence near them. “I guess your assumption is right!” Sky told her, and Stella nodded her head. “I knew it!” Stella answered and smiled at Sky. “Are you not mad at him?” Sky asked him, “Why will she be mad at me?” They stopped talking when Brandon talked to them.
“I will look for Flora!” Sky told her, and Stella nodded her head. “I will talk to her after we fix this mess.” Stella said and smiled at Sky. “I will! Bye!” Sky answered and walked away. Stella looked at Brandon and saw some cuts he had from the battle. “I will clean your cuts!” Stella told him and went to her room.
She was looking for her first aid kit when Brandon appeared in her room. “We should move now!” Brandon told her, which made Stella look at him. “Everything is a mess here!” Alpha Raven appeared and looked at them.
“I’m sorry!” Brandon apologised to his father, and Alpha Raven patted his shoulder. “You can stay in the mansion for a while!” Alpha Raven told him and looked at Stella. “Are you going to come with us?” Alpha Raven added while looking at Stella. “If Brandon wants me to stay with him then I will come with you!” Stella answered, and they looked at Brandon.
Brandon just looked at Stella and didn’t say anything, “We will talk about it first!” He answered and looked at his father. “It is your decision now, Brandon!” Alpha Raven whispered to Brandon and tapped his shoulder.
Alpha Raven left the house, and Brandon looked at Stella. “Are we going to stay there?” Stella asked him, and Brandon didn’t say anything. “Can you stay in your house for a while?” Brandon asked her, which made Stella freeze.
There was silence between them until Stella nodded her head, “Of course! I will just get my things!” Stella answered and started walking into her room. She was putting all her things inside her luggage when Brandon knocked on the door.
She hesitated to open it but she didn’t have a choice but to entertain him. She stood up from sitting on her bed and went to the door. “You want to grab some dinner first? I will cook!” Brandon told her as soon as she opened the door. “Nah! I’m fine!” She answered and tried to close the door but Brandon spoke again.
“Are you sure? You are rejecting my best offer!” Brandon told her, which made Stella look at him seriously. “I don’t have the appetite to eat because of what happened earlier!” Stella answered and closed the door.
Brandon couldn’t force her anymore and just watched her close the door. He remembered the reason why the rogues kidnapped Stella, and he was the reason. He went to the kitchen and looked at the ingredients he bought, “I guess I will not use you for today!” He said while looking at the ingredients.
Their house was a mess so they needed to leave so they could fix the house. After Stella got all her things, she got out of her room and saw Brandon in the living room.
“I will drive for you-
“Sky will pick me up!” Stella didn’t let Brandon finish what he was saying and walked towards the main door. She was carrying all her luggage when a car stopped in front of her.
Brandon saw how Sky helped Stella with her luggage, he just watched them leave. “I’m fvcked up!” He told himself as soon as the car left.
Tyros appeared and saw his friend looking away, “Are you okay?” He asked Brandon. “Yep!” Brandon answered and they went inside the house. “Are you going to cook?” Tyros asked him when he saw the ingredients on the table.
“Yeah, but she didn’t want to eat here!” Brandon answered, “Who? Daisha?” Tyros asked him again, which made Brandon look at Tyros. “Stella, dude!” Branon answered him and glared at him seriously. “Chill! You have a complicated life so I made a mistake!” Tyros answered and raised both his hands.
Brandon still cooked for dinner because Tyros wanted to eat with him. It was already midnight when Tyros decided to leave, and Brandon was left alone. He was looking at Stella’s room, and it felt empty for him. He took a deep breath and shook her head.
“Are you going to lock yourself inside your room again?” Remus asked his daughter while knocking on the door. “I already told you that I am not hungry!” Stella yelled from her room and didn’t try to open the door. “Alpha Raven told me that this would be just a temporary separation.” Remus told his daughter again, and that’s when Daisha appeared.
“Let her rest, Dad!” Daisha told her father, and Remus gave up on forcing Stella to come out of her room.
The next day came, and Stella couldn’t sleep well. She went out of her room and found herself alone. “I have time to cook!” She told herself and went to the kitchen. She opened the fridge and saw nothing.
“What kind of house is this?” Stella whispered to herself and decided to buy some groceries. She got her ball cap and left their house.
Stella went to the nearest grocery store and got a cart. While she was looking around, a familiar figure stopped beside her. “I know that I can find you here!” Brandon said while looking at her. “Well, your guess is right!” Stella answered and walked away.
“I will help you!” Brandon told her, and she immediately shook her head. “Nah! I don’t need your help!” Stella answered and looked for the supplies that she would use. “Why are you playing hard to get at me?” Brandon asked her, which made Stella stop walking. “Am I?” Stella also asked him back.
“Okay, I will leave you alone!” Brandon told her, and Stella just nodded her head. After getting all she needed, she went to the cashier to pay for it. She was carrying all the bags until she reached their home.
As she expected, no one was home and she would move freely because she was alone. She started cooking and after a couple of minutes, she finished what she was cooking. She ate alone, and that was not new for her.
She did the chores and went inside her room. She took a bath and decided to visit Flora to hang out with her.
“Where are you staying right now?” Flora asked her as soon as Stella reached their house. “I went back to our house!” Stella answered and sat on the couch. “How about Brandon?” Flora asked her again, “I don’t know! I didn’t ask him!” Stella answered, and Flora nodded her head.
They were in the living room talking about what happened that day, “Sky told me that you are their main target!” Flora said while looking at Stella. “Me? Why me? I don’t know them.” Stella was confused by what Flora told her. “It is because you are Brandon’s mate.” Flora answered, which made Stella smirk.
“I am his mate but I am not the one he loves.” Stella answered and smiled at Flora. They were talking about Daisha and Brandon when Sky came inside the house. “Oh! You are here!” Sky greeted her, and Stella smiled at him.
“I find it boring whenever I am alone.” Stella answered, and Sky nodded his head. “Do you want to go on a road trip?” Sky asked her, “Of course!” Flora answered. “How about you, Stella?” Sky asked her again. “Let’s go!” Stella answered and smiled at Sky.
Stella thought that she was lucky to have Flora and Sky beside her. Sky was outside and heating the engine of his car. Stella got out of the house and went to Sky, “Do you want to forget?” Sky asked her as soon as she appeared beside him. “Not at all!” Stella answered and tapped Sky’s car.
When Flora got out of the house, they went inside the car and Brandon started driving. “Where are we going?” Flora asked her brother, “Do you have a place in mind that you want to go to?” Sky told them, and they both looked at Stella. “I just want to leave here!” Stella answered, and Sky nodded his head.
Daisha went inside their house and saw Brandon talking to her father. “Did Stella message you?” Remus asked his daughter as soon as she entered the house. “No, why?” Daisha asked her father, “Brandon is looking for Stella but she is not here!” Remus answered, and Daisha looked at Brandon.
“Maybe she went to Flora’s place!” Daisha answered, and Brandon nodded his head. “I will check her there.” Brandon said and stood up from the couch.
Daisha watched him leave without saying anything to her, “What’s wrong with him?” She whispered to herself.
Brandon was walking towards Flora’s place when he saw Tyros from there. “They are not there!” Tyros told him. “Where are they?” Brandon asked him immediately.
“Flora told me that they were going on a road trip.” Tyros answered, which made Brandon shake his head in disbelief. “I need to talk to her!” Brandon said and looked at Tyros seriously. “Why don’t you call her?” Tyros asked him again, “I don’t have her number!” Brandon answered.
“Oh! You are such a poor thing! Maybe they will go home tomorrow.” Tyros told him and patted his shoulder. Brandon was thinking about how he should reach out to Stella. His father wanted dinner with Stella but she was not around.
Brandon went home, and his father was in the living room. “Where is Stella?” Alpha Raven asked him, “She’s not there!” Brandon answered. “Why didn’t you know her exact whereabouts? Are you not getting along with her?” Alpha Raven asked him again, which made Brandon freeze.
