Denise snuck out of the house to see Lucian, she was so excited that she carried some fruits with her to the castle.
Lucian already knew it was her before she could knock the door so he opened it immediately.
"Denise" he called surprised to see her, she had a beautiful smile on her face as age stretched out her arm to hug him. Lucian lifted her up hugging her tightly, he locked the door so one could disturb them.
"You are alive" she teased him, Denise knew how desperate she was to see him.
"I almost died" he answered with a soft face melting her heart.
"I am so sorry, this is all my fault" she answered kissing his hands, she blamed herself for the distance between them, it was her uncle who was trying to keep them away and she didn't like it too but she had no choice.
"Is it alright, I can endure this because it is you" he answered seating her down on the bed.
"I brought you some fruits" she stretched and apple to him and he feigned not having hands to touch them.
He wanted her to feed him so he just stare at her asking with his eyes.
"Are you going to ask like a baby now that I am here?" She laughed at every slight act he made just so that he could be treated sweetly.
"Yes" he nodded his head taking a bite from the apple.
"You haven't acted this way before, I have always been the baby and you were the sensitive one.
Did a little separation cause all things?" She questioned.
"Do you know what I think of every night?" He asked, she shook her head in response and he smiled.
"You, it's hard to close my eyes without seeing your face" he let out in a calm tone, his words carried a touch of affection and love in them.
"I do have dreams about you, it is tough being separated from you too.
I have tried talking to Cabello but he just won't listen to me" she replied.
Denise had recently fallen in love with Lucian so it was hard for her to control herself because her love for him with new and genuine.
"I am not going to give up talking to him but I just wish he could give you a chance" she expressed leaning on while he leaned on the bed.
"I won't give up fighting for you.
I will bug him everyday until he realizes that I can't live without you.
He would have no choice than to accept me or he won't have time to breath" Lucian stated.
He had intended on pressurizing Cabello until he saw his intentions for Denise were out of love and he wouldn't dare to harm her.
"Do you think he would ever accept me?" He asked having his doubts.
The constant nightmares he had if Cabello killing Denise only made him feel like he would never forgive him and that was the reason why Cabello killed her. Maybe he wanted to keep her away from him or so he thought.
"Honestly, I don't know.
Cabello has issues with all wolves, if he had a change to change back to being a normal human being then he would take it.
He hates all wolves including himself" she explained.
"How did he become one of us?" He asked.
"He was beaten without consent and since then he had hated himself, he tried to leave with it but it was too hard for him.
Each night he would turn his room upside down and act crazy, one night he almost hurt me, I think that was one of the reasons why he sent me away to find refuge" she answered while he listened carefully.
"Now I wish I could take back what I did to you, I didn't know he went through that.
I feel guilty for turning his niece to a wolf" he said feeling sad.
"It is not your fault, I guess it was my fate to be a wolf too" she answered.
"But..."
"Stop thinking about it" she sealed his lips with a kiss.
"I came here to be with you so let's enjoy this moment" she swiftly changed the topic hovering over him as she initiated him into a deep kiss.

Bella prepared breakfast and invited Alpha Coast and Luther over,
"Good morning Alpha" Luther greeted with a smile on his face.
"Morning Luther" he replied taking his seat, Bella served the food and joined them to eat, they all ate quietly without uttering a word to each other.
After they were done, Bella finally spoke up,
"I wanna go to the Crescent moon pack to visit my family's grave" she said, she had made it a tradition to visit their graves every year but because she was in conflict with Alpha Coast before, she wasn't given a chance to.
"You can't go there alone, it is dangerous" he replied worried for her, he knew that Alpha Nathan would attack her at the first chance he got and couldn't let that happen.
"You can assign someone to protect me and I will also like to go with Luther, I want to introduce him to my family" she said.
Bella had a lot of things she wanted to tell them about what was going on with her life. She also wanted to show them that she got a boy who was just like a little brother to her because he reminded her of Olive.
"Don't you want to introduce me to your parents" he asked.
Ever since she had accepted him as her mate, he hadn't officially met her parents and was jealous that Luther could get the chance to meet them and not him.
"I thought you were busy with work, I don't want to bother you with my problems. I can just go with the men you assign for me" she replied and he frowned instantly. Couldn't she see that he was eager to go with her.
"I cannot let you go alone, I would be worried beyond wits and what if the men I send get killed then what would happen to you.
I cannot lose you too so I am coming with you" he stated.
Luther kept eating as he watch them argue about going or not, all he cared about was to stuff his belly and watch some drama.
"And the pack?" She asked him like the pack would crumble if he wasn't around.
"Why do I get the feeling that you don't want me to see your parents, are you ashamed of me?" He asked.
"No, that's not the issue.
I just don't want to get you off work when you could be needed" she answered.
"I have made the decision to come with you besides I have my Beta to run the pack.
I will get the car ready" he said and left the kitchen grumpily.
Three hours later, they arrived at the Crescent moon pack and stood in front of three grave stone. Bella took a seat on the grass with Luther while Alpha Coast just stood beside them.
"Hi mom, Dad. It's me Bella.
I know it's been a while since I visited you guys and I am sorry for that, honestly a lot has been going on in my life.
After your death I was given to the young man standing behind me as a bride by uncle Nathan, I had thought I could take my revenge for what he did to you but it's turns out he wasn't even the culprit" she said.
Alpha Coast now understood why she didn't want him to come, she was going to tell them the story about how they met and it wasn't a beautiful story.
I will still keep my word and take revenge on Alpha Nathan for what he did to you guys, I have never forgotten how you were brutally killed and I would do the same to him until he realize that he messed with the wrong person.
How is Olive doing, I miss him every single day, I miss the little fights we have and I wished we still had time to be together in this world.
I would like to introduce to you someone I found, he reminds of you and gives me comfort" she said.
She held luther's hand and smiled.
"This is Luther, he is a bit shy like you but when you get to know him more he is adorable" She said and then looked up to Alpha Coast, he had no expression on his face so she wondered what he was thinking.
"Mom, Dad, I would like to officially introduce to you my mate, Alpha Coast. He is the reason why I can still feel happiness in this world and continue living right after you guys were taken from me.
Even though I hated him before, I still lived for him and now that I love him dearly, I am still living for him" she said.
A smile crept on Alpha Coast face when he heard that, Bella looked at him and couldn't help but smile too.
It was true that she lived all because of him, When her family died, she wanted so much to kill her self to end her life until she was brought to him, it was then she decided to make it a decision of hers to make him pay for what he did to his family before she could finally join them or start a new life. But then when she found out the whole truth, she also wanted to continue living so that she could enjoy his love and care.
"Hi Mr and Mrs Isaiah, I may not have been given a chance to meet all the family but I was opportune to meet your lovely daughter who so turned out to be my mate. I promise to take care of her until I give out my last breath" she stated and she held his hand touched by his statement. She grabbed Luther and they got up on their feet, she leaned on Alpha Coast as they maintained a minute of silence for him.
Meanwhile while Alpha Nathan was in his office when he heard a knock on the door,
"Come in" he stated.
"Alpha, your niece is here" a guard said to him.
"What?" Alpha Nathan yelled, he wouldn't believe that Bella would dare step her leg in his pack, the last time they had talked she had told him that she would kill him with her bare hands.
"Is she alone?" He asked,
He could already picture that Alpha Coast must be with her because he had never let her out of his sight as far as he could recall.
"No, she came with Alpha Coast and a little boy" the guard uttered according to what he had seen.
"A Little boy" Alpha Reid pondered on that, was he referring to her little brother Olive.
He shook his head not believing that, he couldn't believe that a boy he had ripped into two would miraculously come back to life.
"Are you sure you saw no one else than them three" he asked,
Alpha Nathan had already pictured in his head what he would do next. He didn't want to miss such an opportunity like that.
"Yes Alpha" the guard replied.
"Assembly All our finest warriors, we are going to attack them" he stated.
The guard in front of him was shocked,
"We are going to attack Alpha Coast" he said in more of a doubtable question.
He had heard stories of Alpha Coast and how he was the strongest Alpha that ever lived, no one had ever attacked him and lived to talk about it. He was so powerful that just his name could make an ordinary guard like him shiver.
"Yes, do you have a problem with that?" Alpha Nathan asked him,
"I just don't think that is a good idea, he might destroy our men in no time and be left without a scratch and your niece, I heard that she killed hundreds of wolves in a second.
I wouldn't want to mess with them" he stated in fear of what might happen to them if they dared to attack Alpha Coast and Bella.
"Are you telling me what to do, I said assembly the men and match them towards where yju saw them.
If I miss them then I will punish you for that" He ordered add the guard no choice than to do as he said. He assembled all the finest men in front of the pack house and informed him that they were ready. Alpha Nathan stepped out and joined them as they matched towards them.
Alpha Coast and Bella were about to leave when they got surrounded by a dozen guards.
"We meet again Alpha Coast" Alpha Nathan said trying not to look scared in front of Alpha Coast.
"What is this meaning of this, isn't it enough that you had killed my parents yet you won't allow them Rest In Peace" Bella lashed out furious, she had come there to visit her parents graveyard yet Alpha Nathan brought war to their resting place.
"You had warned me claiming you were going to lay waste to my pack the next time you came, where is the warriors you claim to have.
Did they abandon you Alpha Coast because they are afraid of me" Alpha Nathan completely ignored Bella, his fight was with her mate because he considered him as a potential threat.
"Do you think bringing this men with you will scare me, my words haven't changed and I will still lay waste to your pack.
Bringing your men to fight me is useless, you should have reserved them for the actual attack but since they are here I will do you the favour of killing them all" Alpha Coast threatened and he could see a number of his men shiver in fear from his statement.
"You are just making empty threats as you used to" Alpha Nathan replied but his hands were shaking in fear.
"Am I" he moved closer to him and Alpha Nathan moved back by impulse.
"Who is this?" He asked referring to Luther, he could clearly the resemblance he had to his nephew Olive and for a minute he thought he was seeing a ghost.
"None of your business" Bella answered him furious.
"That is no way to talk to your uncle who had taken good care of you.
Be more respectful to me Bella, I am still the only family you have" he demanded.
"And soon you will die by my hands" she reverted back at him in a snap.
"You have a minute to take your men back or I will kill them all of them and not one of them will remain, then I will break both your legs and allow you crawl back to the pack house" he threatened him making his voice hoarser than before, it sent a shiver down Alpha Nathan's body from such words.
"You,
You,
You can't do anything" he reverted back after a few stutter.
"Bella cover the kid's eyes" Alpha Coast ordered, he didn't want Luther to see him tear the men into shreds.
