Chapter 19

Angela's POV

I had to get away. I have to be dreaming, there's no way fate would fuck me over like that.

'I know what their kind has done to us in the past but this particular hunter hasnt done anything to us, we should give her a chance.'

'I know that Ruby but...I just...can't. I can't be mated to a fucking hunter. Whether this one is innocent or not, I don't care. This isn't right! Her fucking ancestors killed our sister! I refuse to accept her as our mate.'

'You know as well as I that she can't control who her ancestors were or what they did. You can't blame her for something that happened in the past, escpecially since she wasn't even born yet. I think you should give her chance. Or at the very least try to get to know her first. You don't need to jump into a relatioship right away.'

'No, I'll be civil but that's it. I won't interact with her unless I have to. She may be my mate but that doesn't mean I have to be with her.'

'*sigh* You are over 2,000 years old and have seen many try to fight the bond with their mate and you know it never ends well. Either they eventually give in or they die and you will be no different. For our sake and our mates, please just give her a chance.'

As much as I want to ignore what she's saying, I can't. She's right. I won't be able to fight this no matter how much I wish I could. I know that breaking the bond is out of the question too. That also leads to death. It really seems like I have no other choice but to except her. Who knows, maybe this'll help me let go of the past.

*sigh* I think I'm gonna go for a run and clear my head a bit.

Bella's POV

After the surprising events that had transpired at Angela's house everybody decided it was best to go home. Ben decided to go after Angela to make sure she's okay. I made him promise to call me as soon as he finds her.

In the meantime though, Alice and I want some alone time. Which is why I decided that I would take her out on a date tonight instead of tomorrow night. At the moment we're at my house watching tv and cuddling.

I mean, I have no idea what we're gonna do because I haven't had a moment to think about it, let alone plan it.

Should we do the classic movie and dinner? Romantic picnic and walk through the woods. No, both of those involve eating food and I don't want to put her through that. Dammit! I need to think of something.

'I think I have an idea.' Tala suddenly interjects scaring the absolute shit out of me. She was quiet for so fucking long I almost forgot she was there. Alice glances at me with a question in her eyes and I shake my head, signaling that it's nothing.

'Give a girl a fucking heart attack wontcha'

'Sorry'

'No you're not.'

I hear her chuckle, 'No, I'm not'

'Asshole'

'You know it'

I sigh and decide to get us back on track. 'What was that date idea?'

'You sure you want to hear it? I am an asshole after all.' I can hear the amusement in her voice.

I groan in exasperation, 'Tala!'

More chuckles from the asshole, 'Alright alright. Why don't you and her go on a hunt together? Takes care of that food issue.'

"Holy shit, that's perfect!" I can feel a wide smile on my face

"What's perfect?" Alice's voice startles me and I realize I said that out loud and My face heats up in a blush.

"Nothing" I say a little too fast.

"Rigggghhht" She says drawing out the word, amusement in her voice and eyes.

'God, I really need to get a handle on that.' How am I ever gonna keep a secret and surprise Alice if I keep accidentally thinking out loud. I'm a lousy liar.

'Sounds like a you problem'

'For fucks sake Tala!'

I decide to ignore her and I start to mentally plan out the date and the more I think about it, The more giddy I become.

I can't wait.

A/N: Another short chapter after a very long unintentional hiatus. I'm very sorry about that. This writer's block just keeps coming back stronger each time. I really wasn't sure how to continue from the last chapter. But I finally got it. Please leave me a review, tell me what you think and hopefully I'll have another chapter up soon:)
