Previously on Bella's Secret
" I will stand next to you, but I will not fight for you. As much as I love you, she is not my family" Everyone else gasped but I understood and nodded. As I went and stood next to Edward, Garret and Kim followed me up on to the porch never letting go of each other. We all stood on the porch just looking at each other and honestly its getting kind of awkward.
"Uh why don't we move this inside so Garret and his uh friend can get to know Nessie" Esme spoke up, I still hate that nickname but Im getting used to it. With this we all headed inside and into the living room. Kate tried repeatedly to talk to Garret but every time she went to take a step near him Kim glared, her glares always have the promise of death in them. Each time this happened Garret chuckled and leaned down and kissed Kim's neck the spot where it was quiet obvious he had marked her. They don't believe in fated mates, they both believe you choose your mate and you work at your relationship. Honestly I envy them.
Kim POV (Starts right after the phone call with Bella)
I slammed my phone on the table shattering it but honestly, I could care less at the moment. I'm so fucking pissed off how dare she call me up for help after everything she's pulled! How dare she ask me to fight my father! I felt his arms wrap around my naked waist holding me to him.
"My love it'll be ok" I spun around and glared my teeth lengthening as the tiger fought its way to the front. I wasn't angry at my husband just well everything else.
"How will it be ok Garret I know you heard that phone call. You know everything she has pulled. How the fuck will this be ok? I'm so sick of being used by her ever since she moved there. After this I'm fucking done, when we see my dad during this we will finally tell him were married and everything I miss him so much!" I could feel the tears streaming down my face Garret just wrapped me back up in his arms and stroked my hair as he calmed me down. We stood there like that for several minutes until he pulled back from me.
"Let's get dressed and go get you something to eat, then well pack and head out. It should take us the full two days to get to Forks"
I sighed but nodded and pulled myself from his arms and headed upstairs. It took us about 2 hours to get dressed and pack, it easily could have taken about 2 minutes but we were both dragging our feet. Once we were finally packed we loaded our bags into the equinox. For some reason I couldn't force myself into the car, Garret I guessed sensed something was up, and walked over to me placing his hand on my shoulder. I sighed and leaned into him causing him to wrap his arms around my waist and just hold me
"What's wrong little tiger? I smiled to most this would be an insult as tigers are considered dangerous but when he calls me that it causes my heart to melt.
"Nothing, just I have a really bad feeling about going into this. (I turned around in his arms making him look at me) I can't fight my dad I can finally see him now after his bitch of a wife threw me out due to my heritage. How is it fucking fair that a human gets to see my dad before I do and live?" At this point, I was on the verge of tears. Garret just hugged me letting me know that no matter what I am loved. After a minute he kissed the top of my head
"Come on the sooner we get this over with the sooner we can come home and keep trying for a little one" He pulled away and looked down at me (Yes he towers over me at 6'5 to my 5'3) He just stared at me for a second then pulled me in a searing kiss, his tongue swept across the lip asking for entrance which I've never denied him so why start now. He tasted like gunpowder and thunder the taste of war his taste alone caused me to groan, which made him chuckle and pull away with a kiss to my nose.
"As much as I would love to continue this my tiger, we both know we won't stop" I just groaned and went to the car loading up. I have a secret that I have yet to tell Garret, one I'm really surprised he hasn't noticed yet. Oh well, this will make telling him that much more fun. Garret put the car in drive and we headed off from Texas to Washington. God, I hate the northern states their so rainy and dreary I love the sun, I'm so glad we have plenty of land so my husband can join me in the sun without terrifying the humans. We were on the road for about 2 hours when I finally decided to get some sleep I doubt I'll be able to sleep once we arrive. I felt Garret shaking me awake, sitting up and looking around I noticed the familiar green and gray of Washington. Groaning I readjusted myself in the seat, rubbed my eyes and pulled my hair up into a ponytail.
"How long did I sleep?"
"About 40 hours. We have about 30 minutes before we get to the Cullen house."
"Dammit, babe why did you let me sleep that long?" Garret just chuckled "you were so peaceful and it allowed me to learn something new" I raised my eyebrow at him and his cheekiness
"Oh, really what did you learn?" He pulled over the car and just looked at me
"How long have you known" He was serious but I could tell he was trying not to smile, trying and failing I might add, I just laughed
"About a week I was wondering when you would hear it" Garret leaned over the console and stole a kiss once full of love and promises of more fun later. I cranked up the radio and just sat back until we turned down the driveway. As we pulled up to the house there were several people on the porch waiting on us and even more standing in the yard in the tree line. The smell though is what got to me I actually gagged.
"God, what is that smell?" Garret crinkled his nose
"I have no idea, but it smells like it's been here a while and might be here permanently" I just groaned. Finally gathering the courage to get out we opened the door and stepped out of the car and faced what I assumed to be the Cullen family. I kept my eyes on the hybrid child. I get it I'm a hybrid too but she smells off like her scent is part wet dog, part human, and the sugary sweet of vampires, well those that are not my husband anyways. The blond male spoke first
"A Garret my old friend thank you for coming" before Garret could respond one of the blonde girls from the forest gasped causing everyone to look at her. I knew something was up when she wouldn't stop staring at my husband.
"Are you ok Kate?" Another blonde asked lthough I guess she was more of a strawberry blonde
"He's my mate" This Kate responded. I locked my muscles down before I killed this bitch. Garret spoke up behind me
"Uh do I get a vote because I don't believe in mates, I'm already happily married, have been for about 3 years now" Before anyone could respond Bella made her way down the steps and hugged Garret
"Hello, Brother I can't thank you enough for coming" Whatever he responded he did it so quietly even I couldn't hear him. Bella pulled back and glanced at him until she nodded. I figured this was as good a time as any to speak up as Garret stepped back and wrapped his arms around my waist resting his hands on my stomach. Nodding my chin towards the girl I asked
"Is that her?" Bella nodded I didn't respond or move for another few minutes still studying this child, I really don't trust the man holding her or the child. With this realization, I turned my eyes back to the girl that is supposed to be my best friend almost my sister.
"I will stand next to you, but I will not fight for you. As much as I love you, she is not my family" Bella nodded she knows how I think but everyone else gasped and looked disgusted with me. The one who spoke earlier had a look on his face kinda like he was studying something under a microscope. He's going to try and change Garret's mind to fight with them, I can feel it in my bones. Bella turned and headed towards the child and the man holding her a man I will never associate with as I know what he did to her truly. Following behind we made it up onto the porch where we stood with everyone else until I guess it got awkward for the caramel-haired vampire.
"Uh, why don't we move this inside so Garret and his uh friend can get to know Nessie" I glared when she called me his friend I'm his wife bitch. We followed them into the house where Garret leaned up against the banister of the stairs with me leaning against his chest his hand settling on my stomach again. The Kate bitch kept trying to get near my Garret. Each step she took towards him I glared at her, which would cause Garret to chuckle and kiss my mark on my neck. As we watched the group interact I couldn't help but feel really pissed off. The blonde warrior looked up at me in worry. I just grinned and mouthed "Sorry Major" he became extremely still, obviously not expecting someone they think is human to know who he is. The blonde that spoke outside finally decided to come say hello
"Garret my friend would you mind speaking with me in my study for a few minutes, I have some things I wish to discuss with you" I looked up at Garret and he bent down and gave me a swift kiss
"I'll be right back babe try not to embarrass them too badly" He smirked. I just giggled
"Go catch up with your friend I think I'm going to go outside and get some fresh air" He nodded and he and the other one headed up the stairs. I glanced around then headed out the door.
