Bella was in the kitchen making Dinner for Alpha Coast while humming a song, ever since they got back together she had been in a better mood since then.
She prepared some spaghetti and meatball and rushed happily to his room.
"Dinner is served" she said placing the food in front of his table.
"What if I don't want this dinner?" He asked back licking his lips at her.
"As much as I want to give in, you have to eat, you haven't eaten all day" she answered moving far away from him so that he won't touch her.
"Fine" he reluctantly agreed and began eating,
"Come, join me" he gestured and she came closer to him.
He grabbed her hand and sat her down on his laps while he fed her some.
The dinner was then over and he lifted her up, placed on the bed and joined her too. Alpha Coast stared at his mark still forming on her neck, it has been two days now and he was eager about what the final result would be.
"By tomorrow your mark will be done" he said to her.
"Really, I have been hoping to see it clearly" she answered touching it.
The mark of her mate was a thing Bella had always wanted, she had wished to flaunt at some point in her life his mark and tomorrow was the day when the mark would fully showed.
"I know, I am eager too" he answered kissing the mark, Bella got so sensitive and a moon escaped her lips.
"I like that" he commented after hearing her Moan.
"Coast, would we always be happy like this?" She asked him in fear.
From the moment they found each other they had been separated and hated each other, at first Selene thought he was the murderer of her family but it turned out he wasn't and then the truth about his past came out and she stayed away from him again, she just wished nothing could come between them because she loved how they were now and wished to stay that way forever.
"I can't guarantee you that nothing won't happen, life itself is full of struggle but what I can promise you is that I won't stop loving you and I will fight for you until my last breath" he stated and she smiled happily.
"It's just that, a lot is going on in our lives and I don't want us to separated from each other again" she stated.
"I won't ever let that happen" Coast promised her, he was more scared than her if she ever left him, his life without her was meaningless and he was certain that he wouldn't survive that much if she wasn't there for him.
She rested her head on his chest having full confidence in him that he would always love her.
The next morning Bella took her bath and rushed to the mirror to check her mark, she found two wolves together howling at the moon on opposite direction.
"It's beautiful" Coast said behind her, he had seen how eager she was when she rushed out of the bathroom.
"Let me see yours" she said and he slightly bent down for her to see. It was the same thing but the male wolf on his was bigger.
"It's a male and a female" she commented after realizing that.
"It's you and I" he corrected her making her know that the wolves represented them.
"Oh, I love it" she blushed instantly.
"So do I" he said and kissed her on the head before going to take a shower.
Bella stepped out of the room to find Elaine in the sparing room, she was staring at the mannequin so hard that Bella couldn't help but say something.
"What are you doing?" She asked startling her.
"Hi Bella,
I thought about training this morning but I don't know where to start from" she answered frustrated.
Elaine knew that one day she would face Alpha James and she didn't want to look like a weakling while challenging him so she thought about training herself.
"Why didn't you ask Arthur to help you" Bella asked concerning her mate.
"Arthur is busy, he got up quite early in the morning" she answered.
"Okay since I am here, I could give you a few pointers" she answered standing behind the mannequin.
"Who are you mad at?" She asked,
"What?"
"Who are you recently mad at?" She asked again.
"Alpha James" Elaine blurted out, she had no one else she wanted to exact her revenge on other than him.
"Good imagine this is Alpha James" Bella suggested and she could see Elaine tense up.
"No, you are not supposed to be scared of him, you should slap him across the face" Bella instructed and Elaine moved over and slapped the mannequin.
She couldn't help but laugh at how fast she reacted.
"Okay now that you have slapped him, how about a punch" she suggested.
Elaine did exactly as she said,
"Much harder" she said and she punched the mannequin again, Bella wasn't satisfied by her punch.
"Are you sure you want your revenge, this was a man who hurt you and made your life miserable, just the thought of his name made you shake but you are here to change that, you are here to fight back" Bella instructed and Elaine went all in for it.
She punched and kicked the mannequin like her life depended on it.
"That's the spirit" Bella commented glad that she was picking up, she took a seat as she watched her kick and punch with each hit much stronger than the previous.
After a while, Elaine was breathless and decided to take a break, she sat beside her and that was when she noticed the mark on Bella's neck.
"The Alpha marked you" she stated in shock.
"Yeah" Bella answered living in the moment.
"Wow, this is beautiful" Elaine exclaimed admiring the wolves.
"I wonder what mine and Arthur's would be" she commented,
"It would be just as beautiful as this" Bella assured her.
"I am glad you and the Alpha got the happiness you both deserved" Elaine stated being among the very people who wished them well after all that they had gone through together.
"Thank you" Bella answered gladly hugging her.
Lucian walked past and she immediately saw him,
"Lucian" she ran to him and Elaine followed her.
"Lucian" she grabbed his hand and turned him to her, when she saw his face, she was completely shocked.
His eyes were red like he hadn't slept for days, he had dark bag under his eyes and he couldn't stop blinking.
"Lucian are you okay?" She asked and he nodded, he couldn't tell her that he wasn't okay and needed his mate back, Denise had refused to talk to him after she was turned into a wolf and he was totally worried.
"You are not okay" she hugged him patting his back.
"Is it because of Denise, have you talked to her?" She's asked but he was silent, from his silence she could tell that Denise has refused talking to him.
"It's alright, she can't stay mad at you forever" she added.
"She can, she claimed she would have been better off dead than be a wolf, this is all my fault" Lucian sulked, this was the first time Bella had seen Lucian this way and it reminded her of Alpha Coast, he used to look like that when they were in conflict.
"She didn't mean it, I know she didn't mean it" Bella answered, she felt sorry for him and the predicament he was in, being with her mate Alpha Coast made her realize that it was hard to live without a mate much more when they are closer to you.
"I don't know what to do anymore, she has refused talking to me" he disclosed to her, he had tried several ways to get to Denise but she wouldn't listen or speak to him either.
"Don't worry, we will talk to her" She replied.
"Really"
"Yeah, just have some sleep and we will talk to her" Bella advised him and he thanked her and obediently went to rest.
"We are leaving in the afternoon, you need to take a shower dear Elaine while I get one of the books about the Sirens, we might need them" Bella instructed and got separated from Elaine.
