Recap: I pressed my lips against his.

~~Aria's POV~~

He wrapped his arms around my tiny waist due to me having 3 granola bars a day while I was with the rouges. I pulled away Dereck looked at me and smiled.

"Are you okay", I said

"Yeah", Dereck said.

He looked at the clock and sighed.

"What", I said.

"I have to go to work but my sister went to get her daughter, Bella, and you guys are going to hang out", Dereck said.

"Okay, baby I'll be fine", I said.

"Okay I'll be back around 6", he said and left.

This gave me sometime to explore our room. There's a bathroom, 2 walk-in closets, a bedroom, and a living room. There was a knock on the door.

"Come in", I said.

In walked the same girl from when Dereck went crazy and a bubbly little probably 6 year old girl.

"Hi, I'm Claire. I was in here when my brother went a little crazy", she said and smiled.

"I'm Aria", I said. "I'm your brother's mate. Who are you", I said squatting down so I was level with her.

"I'm Bella. I'm this many", she said holding up 5 fingers.

"Hi Bella, its nice to meet you", I said.

"Hi Arry", Bella said.

I shook her hand.

"Mommy can we go swimming", Bella said jumping up and down.

"Yes, Bella are you going to ask Aria first",Claire said.

"Arry, you want to go swimming with us", Bella said.

"Sure, but I don't have anything to wear", I said.

"You look my size., so you can wear one of mine", Claire said.

Bella grabbed my hand and pulled me out of mine and Dereck's room and to a door that in silver writing says Beta and Delta.

"You're the Delta", I said.

"Yeah, my mate Ryan is the Beta. You're the Luna and Dereck is the Alpha", Claire said opening the door.

It was similar to mine and Dereck's room. But they had an extra door which was Bella's room because she walked in there. Claire walked into a closet and walked out with bikini with white dots on a blue background.

"Here you go",  Claire said handing me the bathing suit.

"Thanks", I said and walked into the bathroom and change.

I quickly change and looked at my back in the mirror. I sighed. Claire appeared in the mirror.

"Is this what Dereck got mad about", she said.

I nodded.

"They whipped me everyday for 9 months. These are the spots he hit everyday", I explained.  "My werewolf healing helped a lot. They also only gave me 3 granola bars a day."

She hugged me.

"Mommy, I'm ready", we heard Bella say.

"Okay sweetie", Claire said.

We walked out and saw Bella in a cute little green swimsuit. I quickly turned around because I forgot the cover up Claire gave me. I turned around and Bella was right there.

"Arry what's wrong with your back. Was that from the bad wolves", Bella said.

I looked at Claire and she nodded and then I sighed.

"Bella, I'm going to tell you something that might scare you okay", I said as I picked her up and sat on the bed with her facing me.

She nodded.

"The bad wolves that your daddy and uncle fought, and the othef pack that saved me, used this long thing called a whip and hit me with it. I was only 15 and no 15 year old should have gone through but I did. But I'm fine now thanks to your uncle and daddy", I said and she hugged me and squeezed me and cried.

"Let's go swimming", I said and Bella looked up and smiled.

"Yeah", Bella said.

We headed out back. The pool was hge. Bella jumped in. Claire and me laughed. We both went to the stairs and walked in. It stung a little. We were probably in there for 2 and a half hours when I went to check the time. It was 4:45. Then I heard something I didn't want to.

"Well, well, well, look who I found", Hunter, one of the rouges, said.

Claire was next to me and Bella was behind her. Then 4 wolves emerged from the bushes. I didn't know what else to do.

"Dereck", I yelled.

~~Dereck's POV~~

I was waking back to mine and Aria's room. The meeting ended early. I walked pass the back door when I heard.

"Dereck", Aria yelled.

I ran outside and saw a guy and 4 wolves. The guy was holding Aria.

Ryan, Nick, Paul, and Steve, get out here-I mind linked them.

They got out there and we headed over to the pool area. When we got there only Bella was there.

"Bella come to daddy", Ryan said.

She ran to Ryan.

"They took mommy and Arry", she cried.

"Its okay, we'll get them back", I said.

Ryan took Bella to his sister and then met us back outside. We shifted and went to find Aria and Claire.

~~Aria's POV~~

Hunter took me and Claire.

"Sit", he said and pushed me to the ground next to Claire.

Our hands were tied in front of us. Then a deep growl echoed through the woods.

"Dereck", I said.

Claire smiled to when 4 wolves appeared.

~~Dereck's POV~~

I walked behind the tree Claire and Aria were in front of. They were about 10 feet from the tree. I put my hands over their mouths.

"It's me, just stay quiet", I said.

They nodded and I walked in front of them and untied their hands.

"Go, I'm right behind you", I said.

They shifted and headed back to the pack house. I followed them. Then I got tackled to the ground. It was one of the rouges.

"Hunter", Aria yelled.

That must be the rouge. The rouge tried to bite my neck. I kicked him off. Then the rouge bite my leg. I let out a yelp and was now limping. The rouge was walking around me. Then a wolf grabbed the neck of the rouge. It went limp. The wolf looked at me and I could tell it was Aria. Black dots started to dot my vision. I shifted back as the world went black.
