" Kevin, has this happened before to others?"  both he and Josh nodded. I suspected so. It was obvious to see that the accusations where true and members of this coven where overstepping there boundaries.

" I see... I understand that what Drake did was unacceptable and your reaction was what any mated wolf or vampire  would have,  but you must realise that all they want is  a reason to fight. That being said...I swear on my blood that I will personally resolve the problems with this coven " I assured  Josh smiled at me.

" I guess not all blood suckers are bad" he joked and i mocked glared at him Brent and Culten did not find it as funny because they hissed barring there fangs  at him. He had addresses me with what's considered disrespect by not only his words but my lack of title. Not that I would hold it against him since but my guards did.

"Enough!!!" A booming voice full of authority shot out. Josh and Kevin bowed their heads down in submission. Were as Brent and Culten stepped in front of me. They were taller than my 5'7 statutes, I was forced to see threw the gap in between them. I felt my seances heightened and that all too familiar jolt let me know someone's beloved was near. It wasn't until I caught his scent that I realized it was Mine. My beloved was near, this feeling made the six years I've been searching for him feeling like excruciating short compared to the meir minutes I would spend searching now. I closed my eyes as a way to get a better feel of him letting my ears pick up on his hearth beat to let me know how far he was. He was near by. I took a deep breath and the smell of autumn leaves and aged red wine. My two favorite things his scent was strong his hearth beat a beating drum, I knew he was meir feet away. I snapped my eyes open and was met with a pair of Forest green eyes. Only they were not looking at me how i wish they would. Instead of longing and happiness I was met with a blank stare and apprehension.

"We have done nothing wrong" Culten hissed moving to stand directly Infront of me blocking the view of my beloved. that's when I finally snapped out of my trance and  realized i had missed most of the conversation.

"surly you would not hurt me" My gaze once again  locked with those emerald green eyes.  He didn't answer with words. No He broke eye contact looking  away without a hint of hesitation, that was all the answer i needed. It was clear if asked to he would not hesitate to harm me.

" I see" my tone was bitter as i turned my back on them. The realisation of what had just transpired hit me hard.

"Kevin, josh, it was a pleasant surprise to meet you two and as i said before I never forget a kind gesture.... Brent, Culten we take our leave..." I ordered jumping onto the ruff.

"STOP" the authority in his voice was unmistakable. It didn't affect me in the least but I was curious to hear what he had to say.

"Bell?" Brent asked waiting for me to give an order.

"Go ahead my dear friends I will join you shortly."

" but Bell" "It is not up for discussion Culten"  as soon as the cold gentetic  words with a harsh impersonal tone  left my lips I felt bad.

" My apologies " Culten spat out disbelief and irritation coaxing his words as he formally  bowing his head. Brent nudged him forcefully  giving him a warning look as  they both left. I watched as they disappear into the night knowing that they weren't close enough to hear anything yet still lingered within viewing distance ready to protect me of need be.

" I can't be with you...i'm sorry" that was the best he could do. I was disappointed thats all I got. I had waisted six years searching for him for my so called  my beloved.? I should have used thoes six years to find a brideless male it seems.
