Bella's

P.O.V

I don't know why but my phone had been continuously ringing for the last hour. I remember very well one hundredth and one time that finally broke my patience. I angrily extended my hand over the side I read the name, both of my eyes popped open and I sat up in bed. I pressed both hands to my mouth My phone that was still ringing cut off in front of me with a blink. I checked my call history, not only h Victoria. At the speed of a panther, I picked up the phone.

"Hello Bella, why haven't you picked up the phone?" Victoria asked worriedly.

"Sorry, I had a headache last night, I fell asleep after taking a painkiller. That's why I didn't wake up in for me in the canteen. I did not want her to miss the first class because of me.

the alarm on my phone off and shamelessly going back to sleep after that. I felt as if my phone had rung a hundred times in the last hour, but it was the where I kept my phone, keeping my eyes closed the whole time. Cracking just one eye open, I tried to see who was calling me over and over again. As soon as t I could not scream. It was past eight in the morning and due to my laziness I had not gone to my part time job this morning. I had lost out on my money! but Victoria, David and Leo had also called me. I do not understand why they were all calling me in this manner? My phone rang again, this time it was

orning and I will be late for school. Please tell Lily not to wait for me and attend class," I replied. I knew that Lily was calling me because she must be waiting

I knew today was not Saturday or Sunday.

er my eyes shot open and I sat up on the bed. ed everything up.

on the way?" Victoria asked, I was panicking as I looked at the clock.

"What are you talking about, Bella? There is no school today," Victoria clarified, her words confused m "What do you mean that there is no school today?" I asked, yawning and closing my eyes as I lay back "I mean that there is no school today because we had to go on the trip," Victoria replied and upon hea "WHAT!!!" I shouted in shock as I totally forgot about it. I smacked my forehead worriedly as I really ha "Yes, we are all waiting for you. There is only five minutes left before the bus leaves. Where are you? A I remember very well that David had said that the bus would leave at eight in the morning and it was had to stay for me they would be late. I could hear the chatter of the other students in the backgroun "Forgive me, but I think you guys have to go without me. I forgot all about it and everything else due t "Never mind Bella, I will talk to other teachers about this and they will agree to wait for half an hour. "Yes, of course we are all waiting for you," I heard David's voice in the background, probably everyone "Yes Bella, please come quickly. I need a friend to talk to as there are too many annoying people arou "Actually this is not the case. I will not be able to reach the school in half an hour as I have not packed...aggage nor am I ready. I have not even taken a bath. Even if I tried to get ready as soon as possible, it would take me about 1 hour to get there and I know that the other teachers will not agree to this. That would also cause problems for the students as well and I do not want to hinder their fun. So you guys go ahead without me, if we get the chance again, we will all go together in future," I advised, trying to calmly and modestly explain my point to Victoria. She was silent for a few seconds, she must have been looking at the other's faces because I also felt they had all gone silent to hear me.

e minutes short of eight. The way to the school from here was half an hour and I knew that I would not be able to reach the school on time and if everyone all sounded super happy.

eadache. I only just got up when you called," I honestly replied. It was embarrassing that they were already there while my a*s was still in bed.

not leave you. Come quickly, we will go together," Victoria assured. anding around Victoria listening in.

'Lily begged and I heard a growl. It must have been Leo. I smiled to hear them bickering.

"If this is your wish then it's okay, but it has broken everyone's heart," Victoria informed me, she sounded sad.

"I am really sorry Victoria, but please try to understand I do not want to be the cause of ruining your fun. Please go and enjoy it. Let's meet up after you come back in two days," I suggested in an apology tone, she said okay. Lily's P.O.V

"What's wrong? Is she not coming?" I asked Victoria who was putting her phone back in her pocket.

"No, she is not coming," Victoria replied, looking sad. I was also upset. I really wanted to enjoy my time with Bella. We only work even on weekends, this was going to be a good time for us to relax and have fun.

"It's okay guys. Now we cannot do anything. It's Luna's decision," David acknowledged, but then I noticed something.

"Where is Asher?" I asked, looking at the place where he had been standing for the last hour looking at the path blankly as if he had been waiting for someone. Everyone was looking for him, but only one person, Leo, was watching my face with his narrowed eyes. "What?" I asked him.

"Didn't I say don't look at any other male? How many times do I have to repeat it? You do not even have any idea of how I have to control myself not to teach you a good lesson for this," Leo growled, I just rolled my eyes at him. He was again going to give me another one of his mate lessons.

"I chose to ignore you," I stressed, walking away from there and heading towards the bus, but he was following me closely.

"Why ignore me? Who did you call an annoying person back there?" He asked, knowing very well that he was that annoying person. I stopped abruptly which caused him to bump into me.

"You... you are the annoying person," I replied that was when I noticed a p*****t smile on his lips. I blinked my eyes in panic. He should feel insulted but instead he was licking his lips as his chest touched mine. I retreated immediately in panic, but he did not let me get far.

"Yeah I am annoying so what? Are you going to punish me?" He asked with another perverted smile, looking at my breasts. I pushed him away before I blushed. I swiftly strode towards Victoria and the safety she provided. I heard him laugh as I clenched my palms. I let him play with me again! Why the hell was I blushing?!

Bella's P.O.V

I cut the call and laid down on the bed again. I really had done wrong by everyone. I should have paid attention to the time, but maybe fate also did not want me to go into the woods. Breathing sadly I got up from the bed and grabbed my towel then entered the bathroom. The cold water of the shower slid off my body as I closed my eyes. I wish I could also go to the forest and learn how it feels when your feet touch the soil and grass there. How it smells. I also wanted to discover what it feels like to be in the heart of nature. Slowly opening my eyes and watching the water drops carefully, out of nowhere I felt as if someone was in my house, maybe even my bedroom. I heard a sound, I immediately turned off the shower and tried to listen again, but I could not hear any noises. Perhaps it was just my own confusion as I had locked the door and no one had come to my house. I turned the shower back on, after about ten minutes I wrapped the towel around my body and came out of the bathroom. As I entered the room, the scent of sage and citrus entered my nose causing a scream to come out of my mouth as soon as I found Asher sitting on my bed.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!! IN MY HOUSE!!!" I yelled at him in anger and fear. This meant that the sound that I had heard was not my imagination. Like a thief he entered my house and was lounging on my bed! Why the hell was he roaming his hand on my blanket as if he wanted to eat it?

"You have taken special care of your figure," Asher commented, looking up and down at my body that was only concealed beneath a small towel. Scared of him in this situation, I held the towel tightly as I had no idea what to do. The only positive thing was that I hadn't followed my usual daily routine and just threw the towel from my body as soon as I walked out of the bathroom. Otherwise, I would be standing naked in front of his eyes. Ignoring his shameless question about my body I glared at him. "I asked you what are you doing in my house?!" I snapped, repeating my question and gritting my teeth in anger. He got up from the bed and stood by the table. He was looking so tall and huge in my one room house. Today I felt how truly small this house was. "What do you think?" Asher asked, raising a brow as he walked towards me like I was his prey. I backed up, all while holding the towel around my body which would have been nothing for him to snatch away leaving me naked.

"I do not know." I replied in fear as he caged me between his arms, my back touched the wall, now I really had nowhere to run. I noticed as his eyes travelled from my eyes, to lips, and then to my wet chest that was heaving up and down rapidly due to his close proximity. I bet he could hear my heartbeat.

"Why don't you know, when you are the one who forced me to come here?" He muttered in a cold tone, with seductive eyes that confused me. The two together did not match up.

"What? I forced you to come here? Have you lost your mind?" I asked, doing nothing to hide my irritation.

"Yes, you are the one who forced me to come here with your disobedience." He responded as his voice grew even colder and he began to look angry. "What do you mean by disobedience?" I asked, perplexed.

"Yesterday I said that you would go on the trip, in spite of that, you did not appear at the bus pick up in violation of what I said. Why the hell could I not see your soul? Is that not disobedience? By doing this you have hurt my pride, you left me no other choice but to come here to check where your soul is," Asher answered. After listening to him, I made a strange face, placed my hand lightly on his chest and pushed him back slowly.

"You could not see my soul there because my soul was present here with me and sleeping!" I exclaimed, going to my wardrobe and started pulling my clothes out. I turned back to find his eyes were checking me out.

"As far as it is a matter of hurting your pride and the matter of violating your order, I have nothing to do with that. If your purpose in coming here was over making sure that I did not hurt your self-respect or pride again, please leave my house," I told him. He was shooting daggers toward my side with his angry eyes. I did not pay attention to him and entered the bathroom with my clothes. I slammed the door behind me, leaning my body against the bathroom door.

"Oh my God! What the hell is happening to me?" I shouted in my mind. Why am I feeling so hot again? Was it all happening because of him? Yes! He was the reason. Whenever he was close to me or looked at me with those blue eyes then I felt like this. Now these feelings were increasing day by day, I thought as I removed the towel from my body. I once again stood under the shower to cool the heat in my body with cold water. I had to do something. I should not go near him. After about fifteen minutes with great difficulty, I was able to do so. As soon as I came out of the bathroom, I saw him again. Despite how much I had insulted him, he was still shamelessly sitting on my bed waiting for me.

"You changed clothes in the bathroom?" Asher asked. I could plainly read the disappointment on his face that I changed there. Why did he feel that I would change my clothes in front of him, so that I can give him a good view?

"I remember very well that I asked you to leave my house. What are you still doing in my house?" I asked him not bothering to answer his question as I took a few steps in anger. He got up from the bed and suddenly touched my hair. I saw him sniffing too, my eyes widened to see him doing this. A low growl escaped from his lips, I noticed that his eyes were shining.

"Maybe you will also remember that I told you that I had come here to pick you up. I have packed everything that you will need. Let's go." Asher responded as he grabbed my arm. I saw that there was a bag near my bed which he was going to take with us out of the house in his other hand. Where is he taking me

"Wait! Does this mean that you went through my wardrobe and packed my clothes?" I asked in panic.

"Yes of course," He stated, making my eyes widen in shock.

"HOW DARE YOU TOUCH MY CLOTHES WITHOUT MY PERMISSION!!" I shouted at him as he opened the car door for me.

"Why do I feel like you are feeling shy because I saw your..." He commented with an evil smirk not bothering to even complete his words. My face turned crimson as I understood that he was implying about my bra and panties.

"YOU p*****t!" I screamed at him, while trying once again to go back to my hom. But he just pushed me inside the car and closed the door so that I couldn't run away. I tried to open it, only to find out that he had already locked it.

"What the!" I mumbled in frustration. As I was still trying to open it, he had already taken his seat beside me in the driver's seat and began to drive.

"Let me go," I sternly said to him.

"Sit quietly," He ordered, totally ignoring me and focusing on the road. Half an hour had passed and all my attempts had failed. I kept screaming at him, but he just paid no attention to me. I also asked him where he was taking me as this was not the way to the trip area. We had come out of the city into the forest and this road was completely deserted.

"YOU CAN'T KIDNAP ME LIKE THIS!!" I yelled in frustration. He swiftly pulled the car onto the side of the road and undid his seat belt. I saw him coming closer to me, in fear I was sliding back on the seat, but I had nowhere to go.

"What are you doing? Don't come close to me." I argued, putting my hand on his chest my body was growing feverish.

"Do you know what?" He inquired in a husky tone, not even allowing me to blink my eyes. I was so mesmerized by his handsome face.

"This is not k********g. If I decide to kidnap you then no one will be able to find you ever," He cautioned, looking straight into my eyes as I shivered at his words.

"Then what will you do to me?" I asked, even though I knew it was a stupid question, but what the hell would he do to me after he k********g me?

"Do you really want to know?" Asher answered a question with a question while chewing his bottom lip. He moved closer to me just like that with evil intentions. It was at that moment that I noticed there were some packets on the back seat. I was so petrified at seeing those packets that I immediately pushed him back. Taking advantage of the opportunity, I opened the car door and escaped.

I was so nervous that I ran straight into the forest as there was forest surrounding the area. I could not believe that I saw condoms in his car. Did he bring me out to this deserted forest with this intention? I was checking behind me from time to time while running. I could not believe that after the incident that happened to me in Lily's house that day, that I had willingly trusted another man so easily. From that day onwards I had started believing in him, but after seeing the condom, all my faith was lost. It had been ten minutes since I started running, I should be far enough away. Now the issue was that I had no idea where I was. Where had he brought me? As I stopped to take a breather, I felt two big hands sliding down my waist. I screamed in panic as I closed my eyes. "Why the hell are you running away from me?" I heard Asher's angry tone, opening my eyes. How had I ever thought that I could run away from him? He was an Alpha, the most powerful type of werewolf in the world, he could smell me even if I was miles away. I tried to push him away in fear.

"What do you want from me?" I asked, hardly able to hold back my tears, making sure they did not flow down my cheeks. Hearing this from me he looked deep into my eyes, I felt if he was thinking about something.

"If I tell you what I want from you will you give me?" He wondered, touching his chest to mine, I felt his arousal fill the air. Shaking my head in dismay and not wanting to think about what he wanted from me, tears fell from my eyes. "Please let me go. I will not give you anything. Why did you bring me here?" I questioned him as his fingers softly wiped my cheeks.

"Stop it. Didn't I say don't act like a frightened kitten in front of me? I know what you are thinking. David, Leo and I have our own cars, but we use each other's cars all the time. David used my car two weeks ago and those condoms are his. He throws them anywhere he wants. Do you understand?" Asher explained, his words soothed me while he touched my cheeks softly. "Breath." He said as I was finally able to take a deep breath.

"Why did you bring me here?" I asked, holding myself together and trying to believe him.

"Come with me." He urged, taking me even deeper into the woods. My hands were still shaking as I was looking around to this unknown place. I was again trusting him and following him as well. He was not letting go of my hand, but as we crossed a big tree I stopped to view the scene in front of me.

"What is this all about?" I mumbled with disbelief. We were near a beautiful waterfall and there were also decorations strung up between two big trees. Under the tree there was a decorated table where a cake was located. I walked over to it and saw that my name was written on it.

"What is this all about?" I wondered as I was the only one that knew today was my birthday. I never celebrated it after my mother was killed.

"From now on, we are going to start celebrating your birthday Bella. Together," Asher promised, pulling me closer to him.

"How did you know?" I inquired, for the first time I saw a real smile on his face.

"Nothing can be hidden from me." Asher proclaimed as tears came out of my eyes. This was the first time someone was with me on my birthday. He wiped my tears away again and leaned down as his lips touched mine. "Happy birthday Bella," He whispered between kisses.
