Sorry it's so late!

Chapter 13: A Shock

B.P.O.V

When we left, I decided something.

I didn't know why, but I wanted to have the marriage soon. I wanted all this drama to end.

A.P.O.V

The last thing I expected was Edward to walk through the door as soon as they left.

"Edward-" I choked out. He stood by the door quietly, hands in his pockets, not looking at me.

"I'm not going to kill you." He said. "I want to talk." Finally he met my eyes.

"You're marrying her." He said. It was not a question. He sighed and looked away again.

"I wished… I still had her." He murmured.

"You left her." I spat out. Now I was angry. He continued to not look at me.

"I know. I regret it." He replied.

"Why?" I asked.

"To protect her. To try to stop her from getting killed."

"If you loved her, you wouldn't be able to leave her."

"No, I love her."

"I love her. She is MINE now."

"I know she still loves me." I slammed him against the wall, hissing.

"She does NOT love you."

"She does." I punched him. He growled.

"Don't push me, Alec."

"And if I do?"

"Then I WILL kill you." I let go of him.

"You wouldn't."

"Why?"

"It would hurt Bella too much." He sighed.

"You know her too well."

And then he was gone.

B.P.O.V

Later, after shopping, I went to the bedroom to find Alec. He stood facing away from the door, still with no shirt on.

"Alec?" I whispered. His fists clenched and unclenched.

"You love HIM." He spat.

"What?" I cried. "Who?"

"HIM! EDWARD!" He yelled. I flinched and moved closer to him.

"Don't touch me!" He screamed. I was shocked.

"Alec, of course I love him. He's been in my life a long time. But I love you more."

"I won't share you!"

"You just can't stop loving someone!" I yelled back, angry now. He snarled and pressed me against the wall.

"It's more than that, isn't it?" I asked.

"This is so difficult. Even last night, I still knew that you loved him, that part of you still wished it was HIM you were kissing. HIM who you…" He looked away.

"But Alec!" I cried, my anger melting. "This is stupid. I love you, isn't that enough?"

"No." He spat. "I guess not." I spun around, gripping his shoulders, so now he wqas pressed against the wall. And then I kissed him.

He struggled under my grip, trying to push me away, but I held on and kept my lips firmly pressed to his.

When his struggles stopped, I withdrew, expecting him to forgive me.

"Get away from me!" He yelled, and ran out the room.

After that, I fell to the floor and cried.

After a while I stopped crying and realised that Alec had probably left the castle. I instantly felt the need to follow.

While I ran, I had a chance to think. Why would Alec share all that with me the night before, to only destroy our relationship now? It must be something from before. Something before I met him. But what?

Now I had picked up his scent, and began to follow him. His trail led me out of the castle and down to the forest. I caught the scent o f blood and momentarily left his trail to drain some animals. I needed strength for this, which meant blood.
