“Bella! We need to go, now!” Dagon hissed. He pulled her up, as another knock hit the door.
“What’s going on?” Bella asked as she flinched when the door made a cracking sound.
“Someone has found us, and I’m pretty sure they aren’t here for a friendly chat.” He stated, as he gave her the dress, before he headed over and opened the window.
“We gotta jump,” he stated, while he reached out to her.
Bella’s head was in disarray, so she couldn’t really comprehend what was going on.
“You trust me, don’t you?” Dagon asked, and Bella immediately nodded her head, and ran over to him.
But just as she took his hand, the door was kicked in, and four shadows appeared, though before she had a chance to see who it was, Dagon pulled her towards him.
As he hit the ground, he caught her in the air, before he put her down and both of them ran to the car and drove off as fast as they could.
“Shít! I forgot my phone, I can’t find the way without that, we have to get a new one so..” Dagon started as he paused when he looked in the mirror.
“Fück, they’re following us, hold tight!” Dagon hissed, before he hit the gas pedal.
Bella could see two cars behind theirs. One of them drove directly into the back of the car, but Dagon pressed harder on it, and after some time he shook them off.
“I think they are gone,” Bella spoke, but he still didn’t slow down.
“I’m sorry, but we can’t go to the pack, at least not yet,” he stated, as he glanced shortly at her.
“Then where are we going?” She asked.
You will see, I know a place,” he spoke.

“Uncle James, you can’t keep holding your hand over her - not after this! You saw what she did. It’s not right when she’s put the whole pack in danger, and Armaros too!” Connor growled as he was about to throw a bench.
“Enough! I have heard what you had to say, but you have to learn to control your anger, for Moon Godess’ sake! She is Alpha Chase’s daughter, one of my most trusted friends, and they are like family to me, and don’t forget her mother saved everyone’s life back when you were just a pup in diapers.” James growled at him.
“Does that make her a Saint! No, she is a traitor to this pack..” but suddenly Armaros grabbed hold of him, which took him off guard.
“So, what are you suggesting?” Armaros hissed, as he narrowed his eyes.
“Armaros, don’t get involved!” James spoke harshly, but Armaros narrowed his eyes.
“He called my mate a traitor and trying to get her punished. I wanna know what he is planning, so I can make sure to pay him back,” he snarled, but he immediately let go, which made Connor fall to the ground when he heard Stella’s voice.
“Armaros!” She called as he turned around, and saw her smile at him, in a way she hadn’t done for so long, which made him at first think that he was dreaming. ‘Cause it couldn’t possibly be him she was smiling at.
“Stella?” He replied, while taking a hesitant step toward her, as she nodded.
“I’ve got my memories back,” she revealed, as he ran over to her and pulled her in for a kiss that lasted longer than it ever had before.
Like everything just disappeared around them and a lightwave suddenly evaporated from her.
[Stella’s POV]
Armaros took a hold on my cheeks, as he observed me, he had a look on his face that told me, that he still was unable to figure out whether it was real or not.
“You can’t imagine how much I’ve missed you, babygirl,” he confessed, as he kissed me once again.
“But how did you manage to get your memories back?” He questioned, while he observed me.
I wasn’t sure what to say, ‘cause I didn’t wanna lie to him, but I also promised Ezra not to tell anyone about him helping me.
Though before I got a chance to say anything, James caught our attention.
“It’s great to see you got your memories back, but I gotta ask you why you helped them?” He asked me, while Connor huffed.
“Shouldn’t you bring her in for questioning, she is probably working with them!” He barked, while Xander, in the meanwhile, had shown up.
“I don’t think so, I was there at first, and she didn’t want me to give over the keys, but I did, so I rather wanna know what exactly happened after?” He added, while I looked to the ground.
“It’s hard to explain, but they threatened to hurt all of you, so I.. I didn’t want anyone to get hurt because of me,” I murmured, while Armaros proceeded to lift my chin.
“You have to stop playing martyr all the time, I can protect you, okay?” Armaros clarified, as he looked at me seriously.
“I know, I’m sorry, my wolf has been pestering me about the same thing ever since, but it’s just hard to do,” I confessed.
“I know it is babygirl, but just have faith in me. I’ll do anything for you,”
He stated, as a sad chuckle left my lips.
“That’s what scares me,” I replied, which only made him slightly confused.
“Everything, means you would even risk your life, and I don’t wanna lose you,” I mumbled, as I felt tears were at their breaking point.
“How do you think I feel when you keep putting yourself in harms way?” He replied.
“I almost lost you several times because you keep jumping into dangerous situations. To save others, you have to stop that!” he pleaded.

Dagon drove all day, not once giving Bella any clue of where they were going.
She drifted off a couple of times, and he only stopped a few times to get them something to eat and drink, and when Bella needed to use the bathroom or fill the gas tank.
As they finally arrived at the destination, Bella couldn’t help but wonder why he drove all this way, just to stop at some club.
“Why are we here?” Bella asked him, as he glanced at her for a moment, but he still didn’t reply to the question.
“I need you not to make a sound unless it’s me who speaks to you, or if I ask you to, okay?” Dagon told her, as he stepped out of the car, while Bella quickly followed him.
“Okay,” she answered, as she was letting him lead her towards the big doors, where a security guard was looking at them, as they came towards him. She clinged to Dagon’s arm, as he stopped next to the security guard.
“Dagon! What’s up man? Long time, no see, is it two years now?” He greeted.
“Not much, and yeah, it is, I need to speak with Ifrit, is he around tonight?” Dagon asked as he shook his hand, and the guy snickered.
“When is he not here? He is in the VIP lounge as always, just head in.” He stated, as he stepped aside and let them in to the club, while he looked Bella up and down for a moment before moving on to the next in line.
In the club there were countless people, who were kissing, dancing, and drinking, some even seemed like they were having sèx against the walls. Bella had never been to a place like that before, and seeing girls in such little clothes and acting like that, was new to her.
She glanced at Dagon, who didn’t seem the least affected by his surroundings, and she knew it probably was because he had been at these kinds of places plenty of times before.
She was sure he felt her uneasiness because he suddenly pulled her closer.
“I got you, don’t worry little wolf,” he whispered in her ear, as he left a kiss on her neck. But then he suddenly pushed her against the wall and kissed her lips roughly.
It surprised her, but she kinda liked how he took control.
“What was that for?” Bella asked as he pulled just a few inches away from her lips.
“People tend to get suspicious and bold in these kinds of places, so I had to show you are with me. Just to make sure none of these pricks are gonna try anything,” he replied as he glanced in the direction of a group of men who were lurking at them.
“I could just tell them off,” Bella replied, as Dagon shook his head.
“I’m sorry, little wolf, but they probably won’t care whether you're consenting or not.. It’s demons we’re talking about here.. I don’t trust them,” he added in a husky voice, as he left a trail of kisses down her neck, making her feel so hot down below, that she almost couldn’t control herself..
“Let’s continue moving,” he then spoke, pulling Bella out of the trance-like state he put her in.
She glanced a last time towards the group of demons that had been staring at them from the bar, who had already moved their attention elsewhere, while Dagon headed towards the stairs, pulling her along.
Dagon continued to lead her towards a door at the top of the stairs, and as he opened it, they walked directly in to a lounge where a man was sitting on a couch with a woman on his lap.
She was kissing and touching him everywhere, while his eyes were fixed on a group of three women and one man who were standing there in only their underwear.
Two of the women were dancing around to the music, while the man and one of the women were touching and kissing each other.
“Ifrit!” Dagon called out to the man on the sofa, making him draw his gaze toward them.
He proceeded to whisper something to the girl, that made her move away, as he told them all to leave, which they did pretty quickly.
“Dagon! Nice to see you, little brother, what brings you here?” Ifrit asked with a chuckle, as he gave Dagon a slap on the shoulder.
Ifrit had dark messy hair, and like Dagon, he was pretty muscular, which was visible because of his unbuttoned shirt, and seemed to be in his early thirties. His attention immediately diverted to Bella, leaving no time for Dagon to answer his first question, before he already continued with a new one.
”..and you have company I see. Who is this pretty thing? She looks fine,” He asked with a mischievous smile, as he reached a hand to her face, but Dagon grabbed it, making him look confused at Dagon.
“I can assure you, she is fine, but I don’t need you to touch her!” Dagon warned him, before letting go of his wrist, as Ifrit raised his eyebrows.
“I didn’t think you would ever be the jealous type, you have never minded sharing in the past. What changed? Or maybe I should say who changed you?” He grinned, as Bella clinged tighter to Dagon, as his predator-like eyes made her feel sick to her stomach.
“I don’t know, perhaps I have finally grown up, and I don’t like you making my girl feel uncomfortable, so keep your hands off.” Dagon stated coldly, as he placed an arm close around her.
“Your girl, huh? She must be quite a catch if she can keep you in place, little brother, ‘cause you never believed in labels before, but I guess every man has his weakness, even you,” he scoffed, as he finally turned back to the table to pick up his cigarettes, making Bella sigh in relief.
“Guess so.. I know, it’s kinda short notice, but we need a place to crash for a while. You see we have a complicated issue with our necks.” Dagon spoke, as Ifrit turned back around, while taking a hit of his smoke.
“Why? Didn’t you have Armaros? Why don’t you ask him?”
“Like I said, it’s complicated,” Dagon spoke, which only piqued Ifrit’s curiosity.
“Why? Because she’s a werewolf? Or is it something else?” Ifrit spoke, making Bella’s face turn white, which Ifrit immediately caught up in.
“Hey, I’m not judging, I’m actually quite fond of your kind, your kind is what I like to call; a real animal in bed,” he grinned as he winked at Bella.
“Yeah, I’m sorry if I made you feel like you should fear him hurting you, but the only thing you should fear is the thing between his legs – he fücks everything that moves on two legs.” Dagon stated as he rolled his eyes.
“And four!” Ifrit added, with a smirk.
“But it’s not my fault you're only indulging with half the fun.” He continued with a small shrug.
“I just don’t have any interest in that kinda thing,” Dagon spoke, making Bella look at him with curiosity in her eyes.
“You mean you “do” men too?” Bella asked.
“Of course, I like my women, but men spice things up, you know..” he replied, with a shrug.
“But I knew something was off when I couldn’t reach my monthly delivery of fresh meat from Moloch..” Ifrit continued to change the subject.
“Though, when I heard rumors about Armaros keeping some werewolf, I was sure it had to be a mistake.. I never met anyone hating werewolves like him before, so he keeping one for personal reasons. That was one hell of a story, but it seems it wasn’t that far-fetched..”
“Yeah, I’d love to fill you in, so if you could just help us out I would appreciate it,” Dagon dismissed, as Ifrit placed the cigarette butt in the ashtray on the table.
“Oh, I would love to help you, baby brother, but as you know.. Nothing comes for free in this world, so I need something for my generosity,” he stated with a shrug, as he looked at Bella, making Dagon put his arm in front of her.
Relax, I’m not going to fück her – unless that’s what she wants – you know I never fück anyone without consent, I’m not doing that kinda shít.. All I ask is a small thing in return for my hospitality..”
“What?” Dagon asked as he narrowed his eyes.
“A kiss, I wanna have a taste of what my dear brother has,” he grinned.
“f**k no! I won’t ask that of her.” But then Bella grabbed hold of his hand.
“It’s okay, I.. I can do that.” Bella interrupted, making Dagon tense.
“Are you sure? You don’t have to do it if you don’t want to,” Dagon assured.
“It’s fine, and it’s just one small kiss right, nothing big,” Bella replied.
“Right, nothing big, see, she gets it!” Ifrit chipped, making Dagon glare at him.
“Just shut the fück up!” He growled, before he looked at Bella and reluctantly let go of her hand as she stepped closer to Ifrit.
“It’s just one kiss, nothing more,” Bella stated out loud to Ifrit, who just smiled and nodded.
“I know,” he replied as he leaned towards her.
But when Bella leaned in and placed a kiss on his lips, he immediately deepened it, by taking a hold on both sides of her head, as he pushed his tongue forward.
When she couldn’t get free, she decided to bite him, which finally made him let go.
She quickly took the chance to move away from him, while Dagon proceeded to pull her closer to him.
“Ouch! You have real valiance, huh, I like that,” he stated with a chuckle, as he licked the blood from his lips.
“Pérvert!” Bella snapped, as Dagon gave her a hug and kept his arm placed on her shoulder.
“We had a deal, so where are we gonna stay?” Dagon asked, clearly irritated with his brother.
“Right, a deal is a deal, come with me..” he responded, before he headed to a backdoor, and opened it for them.
“After you!” He snickered, as he saw Bella glaring at him.
He followed them to an area where no one else was in sight, before he stopped in front of a door.
“Here we are! You can borrow this room as long as you like.
The bathroom is just down the hall next to my room, so feel free to drop by, if you need anything,” Ifrit stated, clearly aimed at Bella.
But she just ignored him, when she walked past him, and continued turning her back to him.
“We got it, just get out!” Dagon snapped.
“Right, I'll see you later, Brother!” He quipped, before closing the door behind him.
