Arabella's boyfriend?

Bella saw Thomas running into the forest which made her feel confused and Aaron came back to her.

"You are already part of me, don't stay away from me!" Aaron whispered while kissing something on Bella's body, which in the end he would make Bella by his side.

Bella was even more confused and also felt surprised by Aaron's attitude that changed quickly to her.

"Earlier you asked me to stay away," Bella replied.

"You want that?" asked Aaron looking at Bella who looked down embarrassed and also nervous.

"No..." Bella quickly replied.

Aaron smiled slightly, "go home!"

Bella looked at Aaron, "You're kicking me out?"

"You want to stay here?" Aaron asked back.

"Ah, not me, I have to go," replied Bella who hurried to leave Aaron's house.

"WAIT!" called Aaron and Bella stopped her steps.

"Bring it!" pleaded Aaron pointing to the lunchbox held by Bella.

Bella also gave the food box, "do you want to eat it?"

"If it's good, if not I'll throw it away." Aaron replied.

Bella bit her lower lip, she again felt unsure of the taste of the cake she had made, "I hope it's good. Alright, I'm going." Bella said goodbye.

"What's your name?" asked Aaron.

"Arabella, you can call me Bella." Bella replied.

Aaron nodded and actually went home.

Aaron saw Bella moving away from his house, then used his Mindlink to give a message to his subordinates to keep an eye on Bella.

Bella returned home with a pounding heart. Still remembering the words from Aaron if she had become part of him.

"But, what does that mean?" mumbled Bella, wondering not understanding what Aaron meant.

Bella, who was in her room, heard someone approaching, Bella also looked annoyed, looking at the open door from outside.

"You just got back, where have you been? I'm not sure if you have any friends or even a boyfriend out there!" snickered her sister who was 4 years older than her.

"Since when do you want to know what I'm up to, big sister?" retorted Bella sarcastically.

"Ch, wash my clothes! Haven't I told you since yesterday? I'm still patient not to make mom angry with you, but if you don't do it today, don't you know what will happen?" she exclaimed to Bella who looked upset, the older sister quickly left Bella in her room.

"Can't she do it by herself, why should I do it!" she muttered irritably.

Bella didn't understand why she was always the errand boy in her family, she was the last child who was probably not expected. Her older sister, Rosaline, was always the underdog. Smart, beautiful, even always attracting handsome and rich men, her mother who loved wealth would always defend Rosaline who always gave her luxuries from her lover that Rosaline brought.

But, even so, Arabella still had her father who was always kind to her, even spoiling her. Her father knew that Bella had never been treated fairly by his first wife and daughter, but he couldn't do anything about it either, although he would always advise them. But they were the ones who couldn't change.

It was just that her father couldn't come home every day, he worked in the city center, and would come home once a month.

"I think I should get married quickly, so I can get out of this house. Oh what was I thinking, you idiot! Your college has just started!" muttered Bella blaming herself.

"Tsk, I should have just followed my father to the city," she complained later, regretting not accepting her father's offer to study in the city.

Even though her mother was favoritism towards her, Bella loved her very much, she couldn't leave her mother to live alone in this village. Because her older sister went to the city with her father to work, even though she didn't live together because it was quite far to her work location.

"Did you find them, Thom?" Aaron asked Thomas after being asked to chase after the Rogues who had disturbed Bella.

"Yes, I chased after them and found their base, quite deep in the forest. But, I didn't find Seth there," Thomas explained.

"He couldn't have been hiding with them, Thomas." 

"I know, I've asked someone to keep an eye on them. I'm sure they'll lead us to Seth." 

Aaron nodded in satisfaction, little more than he thought. He would soon find the enemy he was looking for. The werewolf he once trusted, but was now his main enemy.

"What about the woman?" asked Thomas.

"I'll try to take her in, keep her safe, Thomas! I don't want her to be Seth's target!"

"That's good, you don't have to worry, she'll get a special guard. About Gamma, don't you want to find a replacement for that position?"

"I leave that to you, I trust you, Thomas." 

Thomas nodded in understanding, he would try to find a replacement for Gamma, one who was truly loyal to Kap Xhevat.

Aaron is now in his room, for some reason he is now thinking about Bella. Aaron decided to leave the house to walk towards Bella's house in the silence of the night.

Aaron stood not far from Bella's house, his hearing was clear enough to hear what was happening in Bella's house.

Aaron grinned, because it turned out that Bella, his dead mother was not treated well by his mother and older sister.

"You really can't be far from me, Bella."

Inside the house, Bella was being scolded by her mother, because she did not want to obey Rosaline's words who asked her to wash her clothes.

"It's not just washing clothes, why don't you do it, Bella!" 

"Mom, I'm tired, I've been studying all day and I just want to rest, after all, older sisters don't do anything in this house!" 

"Your sister already works in the city, she comes home to rest, Bella."

"Mom, he's not tired, just lazy. Besides, she hasn't been at school since morning, she's been wandering around out there, maybe she's looking for a man, I saw her making cookies that she put in a food box, right, Bella?" said Rosaline, stirring up her mother to get even angrier at Bella.

Her mother was even more angry at Bella, for having the courage to lie, making Bella downcast but not feeling sorry, because Bella did not want to be at home which made her not feel calm, Bella could not fight anymore. 

Rosaline always added to her mother's anger to hate her and again, she did not go to college because she did not have a schedule, she went out to meet Aaron. 

Bella knew she was wrong, but that didn't mean she had to do what her sister wanted, who she thought always wanted to see her suffer.

The sound of knocking on the door made them quiet, Bella quickly went into the room to take advantage of the situation when her mother was about to open the door.

Her mother opened the door and was surprised that a handsome man had come to their house at night.

"Rosaline, is this your boyfriend?" her mother shouted, causing Rosaline to come to the front door.

"Handsome, but I don't know him, mom." 

"Who are you?"

"I'm Arabella's boyfriend." 

Rosaline and her mother looked at each other in disbelief that Bella could attract the handsome and dashing man currently in front of them.
