Chapter 146 Bella

• I had counted down the seconds until he had walked from the house. Avoiding him in any which way that I could since he had been nasty to me the previous night. I finally felt like I was able to breathe when he walked from the house, and I let Alpha Landon’s cousins know, just as I had been directed to. I just wanted to be safe now. Away from here. Because suddenly, nowhere felt safe. I doubted even my home pack would feel safe…
• Which was why I had chosen to turn to Kai for help and not my own family. My own family were focused on the arrangement they had in place with the Alpha. The money the arrangement symbolized, and what it could do for our pack. I feared that would override any concerns for me. So, seeking assistance from Kai and Alpha Landon seemed like my only option. I just hoped that whatever they had planned worked.
• The cousins, Joe or Joey, and Kent or Ken, maybe Kenny (something like that I believed they were called, but I didn’t want to seem rude and keep asking their names) were being incredibly sweet trying to take care of me. When Alpha Landon had entered the number into my phone, he had simply put it in as guardroom. I assume so if anyone were to check my phone no suspicion would be raised. But, while they were keeping me safe within their home, I knew it would only be a matter of time until my husband-to-be came home to do his usual checks on me, and the moment he realized I was not sitting waiting for him the way he liked, he would be searching… angry I had not followed his orders.
