Chapter 22

I woke up in the den that I had seen in my memory. Everything looked the same as it had back then. I was lying on top of the bed, a blond hair man was sitting beside me, holding my wrist, and Edward, Alice and Jasper were at the foot of the bed watching me.

I immediately yanked my wrist away from the stranger, glaring at him. He held up his hands, showing that me that he meant me no harm.

"Bella," Edward said motioning towards the man. "This is Carlisle, our healer. He was just examining you, making sure that you were okay."

As soon as my eyes landed on Edward, all I felt was anger. I wanted to hurt him. I had a son and he had hidden it from me. He had kept my child from me. Before I knew what I was even doing, I leap from the bed, snarling, ready to rip Edward to shreds.

Jasper was quick on his feet. He dove in front of Edward, pushing him out the way and taking the brunt of my claws. I managed to slash him several times before Edward and Carlisle restrained me.

"What's wrong with her?" Alice shrieked as I roared and growled, struggling to get free of their hold.

"It's the pull of the moon," Edward answered. "It's her first full moon since she's woken. She doesn't remember how to control rage or fight against her primal instincts."

"Can't you do something?"

"Just go Alice," Jasper yelled. "Go to my den. To the left, three doors down. Stay there. I'll come for you when we have this under control."

Jasper and Edward then switched places, which only made my anger worse. The mere sight of Edward made me that mad I was like a wild animal, snapping, growling and snarling.

I guess I was a wild animal.

"Listen," Edward began. "I know that you are angry with me and I know I should have told you about our son, but I knew the full moon was coming. I couldn't risk telling you about him when I didn't know how you would react or what kind of control you would have during the moon. I wasn't willing to put Edmund at risk."

"I want to see him," I snarled.

"No," Edward replied, which only made me struggle even more. "Not when you're like this."

"You have no right to keep my son away from me."

"I have every right," he growled, his eyes glowing blue. "I am your Alpha, your mate and you will listen to me. You will calm down right now before I send someone to fetch the restraints. Do you hear me?"

My knees weakened and I fell down to the floor, kneeling in front of Edward. It was like an invisible force was pinning me down.

I hated it.

I hated that he this control over me.

I softly snarled, letting him know that I wasn't pleased as I struggled against the weight that held me in place.
