5 Years Later
“Jacob we’ll be okay.” I sighed for the hundredth time.
aded. I groaned and slammed my suitcase close.
“Ariana, you guys need to be careful. Please babe.” He
“Jacob I’ll see you soon.” I laughed before hanging up
- up. I threw
my cell onto my bed before jumping into the shower. I quickly washed my hair and body before stepping out. I wrapped my blue robe around I my body before stepping out. I pulled on my black bra and matching panties before stepping out into the long hall.
I walked into the yellow painted door and smiled. My little angels were running around the room pulling on their clothes. “Need help?” I smiled walking further into the room. “Mommy! I can’t tie this
AUG Joey frowned pointing at his black vans.
“Aria, you’re so loud.” Quin groaned stepping into the room. Quin was my bestfriend and roommate. After my parents got remarried for their 25th anniversary I decided my Angels and I had to move.
Of course my parents refused and left Jackson’s loft to me. It got so lonely I decided to rent out the guest room to my bestfriend.
“Nini can you help me?” Zoey begged motioning to her closet. Quin grinned and rushed inside. Sleep long forgotten. One thing about Quin was that she was a fashion fanatic. That explained why all four of our closets were filled.
“Come here baby.” I smiled. Joey wobbled over to me rubbing his bright green eyes. One thing he got from me. The rest was from his dad. He was the exact replica of him. I admit it hurt sometimes to see him, but I know my baby would never be as heartless as ‘him‘.
“Done.” I yelled kissing his forehead before standing up. “Come on we need to get some breakfast before we leave.” I said quickly doing a side braid for Zoey. “Come on Zoey baby.” I grabbed her hand as Quin grabbed Joey. I quickly made all three of them Pancakes, eggs, sausage and strawberry smoothies for Joey and Quin and a Chocolate smoothie for Zoey.
One thing about Zoey was that she was obsessed with chocolate, which wasn’t always a good thing. “Mind keeping an eye on them while I change?” I asked Quin. She shook her head before stuffing eggs into her mouth. I laughed and walked off to my room.
I rushed over to my ringing phone slamming my knee on the bed post. “Oh! Pooo!” I yelled. I could hear someone laugh on the phone. “Hi Jackson.” I laughed rolling my eyes. “What’d you hit this time Aria?” He chuckled. I frowned and rubbed my knee. “Nothing.” I mumbled. His laugh boomed through the speaker making me chuckle.
“Are you calling to make sure we’re okay too?” I frowned raising my eyebrow, even if he couldn’t see. I could hear him clear his throat before giving me a very unconvincing no.
“We’re fine. Quin is coming with us. Alpha Heath is three states away. We have a clear get away.” I said confidently. “I’m just worried hon.” He sighed. Immediately I felt bad. Jackson lost his daughter when she was only ten. When he saw me his father instincts kicked in. That’s why he went against ‘him‘. “I promise we will be fine. I’ll call you if we run into any trouble okay.”
“Okay.” He sighed. We quickly said our goodbyes and I rushed to my closest to pull out an outfit. I pulled on my black shorts, a cream sleeveless blouse and iny black studded heels. I threw my hair up in a messy bun before grabbing my purse and luggage. I pulled the suitcases to the front door before going to Zoeys and Joeys room. I grabbed Zoey’s pink suitcase and Joey’s black suitcase putting them next to mine.
“Quin! Zoey! Joey!” I yelled opening the door. Right away they all ran to the front door. “Ready?” I breathed. I was nervous, more than nervous. What if we didn’t make it? We had to right?
“Yes!” Zoey squealed jumping on the balls of her feet. “Are we going to see Uncle Jake!” Joey yelled pulling on my hand. “Yes we are.” I laughed kissing the top of his head. He grinned before running out the door to the awaiting cab. “Here’s your bar mommy.” Zoey’s soft voice said. I grinned down at my daughter before pulling her into my arms. “Thank you baby.” I said taking the Clif bar from her hand. I smiled at the cab driver that put our suitcases in the trunk before getting in the back with a jumping Joey, while Quin got in the front.
Two hours later we we’re finally seated in the plane going back to my home town. I could finally breathe knowing Alpha Heath wouldn’t find us there. I sighed remembering how I got into this mess.
It was a year ago. I was picking up my babies from daycare when I ran into him. He was picking up his sister Marie. Marie was such a lovely little girl. She was Zoey’s bestfriend at the time. So of course I thought he was a good guy. But I was so wrong.
He claimed me as his, even if I wasn’t his mate. He wanted me and he said he was going to have me if it was the last thing he did. He became obsessed and stalked me everywhere I went. I was scared for myself and for my kids!
That’s when I met Quin. She was Marie’s older sister and Heaths little sister. She immediately told her parents what he was doing and they demanded that he let me go and he did. Until they made him Alpha three months ago. He became psychotic. He would go into my work and threaten any man who came within three feet of me.

When Quin told me he left for Alm!
Mariah finally convinced me to leave. She made me realise Heath was more of a danger than Caleb. So here I am, on a four hour plane ride back home.
“Mommy I’m scared.” Zoey whimpered snapping me out of my daze. Her eyes were wide as she looked out the window. We were slowly going up, New York was becoming smaller and smaller. I turned to Joey and saw him clenching his fist. He never did like showing his fear. “Don’t look baby.” I said pulling her head into my chest, doing the same to Joey.
Quin smiled at me before slipping on her earphones. Before I knew it we all fell asleep.
