Chapter 139

• Dante
• I sat at my desk in my bedroom, turning my cell phone over in my hand. I needed to make the call to Stella's parents. The call that was going to inform them the only Chuks they had left was a complete lunatic. I ran my hand down my face, sighing. It wasn't a conversation I wanted to have, but one I needed to. Lara and Damon would definitely be wondering why I had sent Bella back to them so soon, and without informing them beforehand. I was willing to bet Bella wasn't going to bother herself with the explanations. No, she would want me to be the one in the awkward position.
• I didn't care how the conversation was going to go. I was letting them know, and I was letting them know today. It was already two days since I'd sent Bella away from the pack. I'd been waiting for them to contact me within that time but they haven't. I needed to make the call to clear the air, and I need to make it now. I was done putting Isabel in harm's way. From now on, I would tear anyone apart before they had the chance to even think about hurting her, much less come close to doing so. That last thought fueling me, I dialed Lara's number.
