Chapter Thirty Four

THANE

I stood before the tiny cottage that had once belonged to Bella. I didn’t know exactly why I was here, yet here I was.

The little cottage, which had been abandoned, was barely holding together; termites had infested the woods, cobwebs filled every corner. I walked into the house.

Dust layered over every piece of furniture and dried leaves littered the floor, this place which had once been full of life, was empty and lifeless. Not much furniture survived the years.

There was a sound from the inner room, and I headed there. The squirrel ran past me; that must have been the source of the noise.

I stared at the couch- rather, what remained of it, that had been the very couch Bella had died on. I remember the pain I had felt waking up to see her lifeless body; at first I had been in denial; it couldn’t possibly happen- I’d thought to myself, but then the pain set in, Bella had become a part of me and a part of my life, with her gone I’d felt oddly incomplete.

I picked up the frame from the ground; I wiped off the dust with the sleeve of my jacket, and there she was in the picture, the girl I had remembered. I placed the picture back on the table before walking out of the cottage.

I strode to the back of the building, the very spot I had buried Bella.

The grave had been dug open.

I returned back to the pack, and of course Isabella had to be the first person I sighted, she conversed with one of my soldiers. I could easily read him. His eyes roamed over her, filled with lust and he wasn’t doing a good job hiding it. He literally devoured her with his gaze, and I made a turn, heading towards them.
