Sure, she made <em>a lot<\/em> of people unhappy but her best friend Jacob had been right; she had to stop making other people happy and think of herself for once. Becoming a vampire was nice and all, a long lasting life, but what good would that have done if she was in a loveless relationship? Edward was obsessed with her, it hadn\u2019t been love.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She happily took the bank card from Jasper with Edward\u2019s money on it and ran as far as she could. The first plane out of Seattle took her to Paris &#8211; of all places &#8211; but she didn\u2019t care. Bella was going to have fun and do everything that she hadn\u2019t been able to do while she had been with Edward; be a real teenager for one, making the best of her last two remaining teenage years.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She found a hotel near the Champs-Elys\u00e9es and dumped her suitcase before going back out again to the nearest restaurant and bar. Night had already fallen but the streets were still busy with people and it felt great to be part of the mass. Her high school French got her some French fries with a steak bigger than her hand and a flute of Champagne. Oh yes, celebrating her freedom with a nice glass of bubbly was certainly pleasurable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She knew she had to feel terrible about it all; Rene\u00e9 had been really happy and excited for Bella and even Charlie, who took some time to warm up to the idea that his baby girl was going to be married before she was twenty years old, had been happy in his own way. A lot of money had been spent on the wedding &#8211; but then again, the Cullens were comfortable enough to deal with the blow &#8211; and she had humiliated Edward in front of his family and friends.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bella was well aware that she could have gotten out sooner. Jacob had been nagging her for months, he had been against her involvement with Edward from the beginning. Jasper had warned her that this wasn\u2019t a good idea and even Rosalie forgot to be a bitch towards Bella one day and told her that she wished that Bella wouldn\u2019t go through this as it\u2019d ruin her life.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She had polished off three glasses by the time dessert came round and since the bar area looked quite entertaining, she paid for her meal and continued to drink at the bar. It was the best way to spend her first night, well, her second night, of freedom since she couldn\u2019t get hammered on the plane.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a great pub down the street with much better alcohol.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bella looked up from where the voice came from and acknowledged the tall boy standing a few seats away from her. \u201cYour English is good.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBecause I\u2019m American,\u201d he snorted as he sat down and ordered his drink. \u201cBest thing about Europe is is that you can drink when you\u2019re 18.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYep,\u201d she replied, popping the \u2018p\u2019 and took another sip of her beverage. He looked kinda hot, at least he looked like a normal human being with normal human complexion. She wasn\u2019t really in the mood for talking, really. All she wanted was to get so drunk, she had to roll back to her hotel room to sleep off the alcohol and maybe repeat it again tomorrow. She didn\u2019t have to do anything anymore, she could do whatever the hell she wanted. Hell, she could even be so bold as to ask the boy if he wanted to fuck. Yes. She could. Did she dare? Sure, why not? \u201cWanna hook up?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The boy almost spat out his drink and looked at her in shock. \u201cAre you serious?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYes. Do I look like I\u2019m joking?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou look drunk,\u201d he pointed out. \u201cI don\u2019t do drunk girls.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not <em>that<\/em> drunk, I still know what I\u2019m doing. Come on, I\u2019m celebrating my freedom here,\u201d she said as she drained her glass. \u201cAre you seriously turning down a willing fuck?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWell\u2026 I\u2019m not really into that kind of thing right now, but good luck on celebrating your freedom.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI said hook up. Not date, marry and have babies. Ew. No.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The boy seemed to think for a moment, torn between his feelings and what he needed, really. She could see the hesitation in his eyes, but also that his eyes had gotten a shade darker and that had her interest peaked. She got up from her seat and planted herself next to him. <em>God he smells so good<\/em>, she thought as she ordered another drink. \u201cNo strings. I don\u2019t want to do strings. I just want to have some fun and you look like you could use it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He let out a breath and nodded. \u201cI\u2019m kinda mourning my ex-girlfriend. She was involved in a\u2026 uhm\u2026 accident.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOh, I\u2019m sorry,\u201d Bella apologized. Of course, he looked like a kicked puppy, she should have known something was off. \u201cI totally get it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt happened a few months ago, though. Her dad brought me here to spend some time with their family and he just left me here and I don\u2019t have the funds to go back to the States.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPoor puppy,\u201d she took a sip of her drink. She wasn\u2019t really interested in exchanging life stories but what the hell. \u201cAlmost two days ago I left my ex-boyfriend in front of the altar because I realized I was being stupid and that he didn\u2019t really love me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSeems like we both have reasons to get drunk,\u201d he replied after a beat, wondering if she could sense that he was something other than a human, but that would be impossible, wouldn\u2019t it? Unless she was something special and she looked quite ordinary to him. It would be a fun way to figure it out though, if she knew and if she was something other than a human.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019ve been drinking for months, haven\u2019t you?\u201d Bella said with a smirk. \u201cDrowning your sorrows. Thought you didn\u2019t have any money?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He shrugged as he took a sip of his drink. \u201cI guess pretty girls pay for them?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAlright, hotshot,\u201d Bella laughed. \u201cYour drink is on me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m Isaac, by the way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBella.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The silence between them wasn\u2019t that uncomfortable as they both retreated back to their thoughts while sipping their drinks. Once Bella was finished with hers, she paid what she owed and got off the chair, deliberately bumping into him, feeling his well toned physique underneath his shirt and loved that he didn\u2019t even feel cold to the touch. He felt like a real human and then some. Almost like Jacob. \u201cHuh,\u201d she said as she gently caressed his arm over his shirt. \u201cYou work out, I like it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThanks?\u201d Isaac was surprised. He never had girls come on to him like she was coming on to him right now. But she was filled up with alcohol, surely it had something to do with that, right?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSo, I\u2019ll be heading to my hotel room now. Do you want to come?\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When she started to bat her eyelashes at him and licking her lips at the same time, blood started to rush to parts of his body that he hated because they were a clear indicator that he was indeed, interested. \u201cOh fuck it,\u201d he muttered as he downed his drink. \u201cYes, I want to come.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">~o~o~<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She could name dozens of people who would disapprove of this and that\u2019s why she wanted to do it. She wanted to have sex with this gorgeous boy, have him fuck her to oblivion and then some. Maybe rinse and repeat until they were both well spent. Have breakfast after a good sleep and then do it again. And again. Until they got tired of each other. No strings. It could end any time. She made it clear to him in the elevator to her room and he seemed to like the idea very much.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the rules were set, she pulled him down for a kiss to get a taste of him, feeling brave. She knew it was the alcohol but that was the intention to consuming alcohol. Isaac was the first one she kissed like this after Edward and Jake, and boy, Isaac was a damn good kisser &#8211; or that could be the alcohol talking too. She really had to shut her brain down. She didn\u2019t need it for what she wanted.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the doors pinged open, she broke off the kiss and walked towards her hotel room, she could already feel that she was wet in anticipation. She was going to have sex. She gave herself a stern talking to that she was not going to back out of this and just let it all happen. That was a good thing, to let it all happen. She fumbled with the room key for a moment and felt victorious when it opened, leading him into the suite.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWow, you have money to burn or something?\u201d Isaac let out a breath. Was this girl loaded? Was she just an unhinged rich brat with daddy\u2019s credit card? Ah, who cared? He was going to get laid tonight and maybe that would make him feel better. The alcohol only worked for so long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOr something,\u201d Bella said with a shrug. \u201cBasically severance money from my ex-boyfriend, I can do whatever the fuck I want, whoever the fuck I want.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat works,\u201d he said with a nod and a shrug. \u201cAre you sure you\u2019re not too drunk?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWould you like me to do a sobriety test, officer?\u201d She asked playfully and started to unbutton her jacket. \u201cBecause I can walk in a straight line, you know.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYep, I want you to prove it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWell, I won\u2019t,\u201d she said as she discarded her jacket and kicked off her shoes. \u201cLook, I just ran from an overbearing, manipulative, son of a bitch who wanted to marry me and turn me into a stepford wife. I haven\u2019t had <em>any<\/em> freedom for the last two or three years because he and his family controlled most of my life.\u201d She pulled off her shirt, revealing the big, noticeable scar on her wrist. \u201cI want to do something for <em>me<\/em>, live life to the fullest and yes, picking up a random pretty boy from the bar is exactly what I want because it\u2019s <em>my <\/em>choice. It\u2019s definitely a plus that you\u2019re not French so there\u2019s no language barrier here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Poor girl,<\/em> he thought and let out a sigh. \u201cAlright, fine,\u201d he stopped her from undressing herself and instead kissed her hard while his fingers ran up and down her arm. \u201cAllow me to give you those warm and fuzzy feelings you\u2019re after.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI just want to feel alive after feeling as cold and dead as he was,\u201d she replied as she stared up into his eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe sounds like a real charmer,\u201d he caressed her hair out of her face and guided her backwards toward her to the bed. Once at their destination, he gently pushed her shoulder so she fell back on the bed with her hips dangling over the edge. \u201cYou\u2019re beautiful,\u201d he muttered as he leaned against the bed with his knees and started to undo her jeans. \u201cIt would have been a shame to see you with someone who\u2019s cold and dead, wasted potential right there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m skinny,\u201d Bella snorted as she nudged him with her knee after he got rid of her jeans. Heat radiated from him and he wasn\u2019t even that close to her. \u201cAre you a space heater or something?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNo,\u201d he huffed as he undressed to his boxers and crawled on the bed and followed her as she crawled her way towards the headboard. \u201cThat would be impossible, wouldn\u2019t it?\u201d The way she was moving was definitely not that of a drunk, but of a girl who didn\u2019t know what to do. Of course, a virgin on a freedom rampage and he had to run into her. He started to kiss her neck as his hand roamed over her body, taking his time with this as he had promised her to feel those warm and fuzzy feelings she wanted so badly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He couldn\u2019t help but to use his special power to take away a little of her hurting, he could sense how broken she was on the inside. No matter her bravado, she was a work in progress, in need of fixing. She visibly relaxed under his touch, which would make it easier later on when he was going to fuck her. Oh yes, she may be broken, but he was going to get what she had promised him too. She was definitely not going to be a virgin anymore once he was through with her.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She felt her body tingling, she could even feel it in her toes with the way he touched her. Gently, but also reaffirming that she was alive and really feeling this. Oh, he really didn\u2019t need to find out she was a virgin. He\u2019d stop and he\u2019d leave, and she didn\u2019t want him to. Her body involuntarily pressed itself into the bed or against his upon his attentions and she already felt as if she was flying.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When Isaac was satisfied enough that she was indeed relaxed, he asked for permission to remove her bra, running a gentle hand over her breasts as he kissed her. He wasn\u2019t really taking all the time in the world, his body was demanding a release as well. It would be just as cathartic for him as it would be for her and he didn\u2019t want to wait too long. She had known what she was getting herself into; she should feel grateful that it was him with her right now and not some horny Frenchman.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>What the fuck?<\/em> He scolded himself. Why would he care if it had been a horny Frenchman? It would have been her own fault, wouldn\u2019t it? With her promiscuous behaviour and all that.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He didn\u2019t even ask for permission to remove her underwear because the kiss was simply too good to break off right now and while she was distracted, he could use his strength to rip it and hide the evidence in the trashcan with one well aimed throw. He had been able to smell her once he had undressed her, but he hadn\u2019t realized how wet she was, how good she smelled, causing the blood in his body course even faster through his veins. The wolf in him wanted her so bad, it had been a while since he had to reign him in.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She had missed this connection, this human connection, human touch. Warm touch, and it felt so good. She knew that Isaac didn\u2019t have to take his time with her but he did, and she felt as if she was in heaven. She gasped when he put his hand on her <em>down there<\/em>, and her body involuntarily arched into him when he inserted a finger inside of her. \u201cOh, fuck,\u201d she moaned after the gasp had broken off their kiss.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cJust relax, beautiful,\u201d he said calmly. \u201cIt\u2019ll be okay, l promise.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI know,\u201d she breathed as she managed to look at him with a big smile on her face. \u201cI was just surprised, that\u2019s all.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLiar,\u201d he laughed as he used the moment to insert another finger into her and started to open her up a bit for him. \u201cIt\u2019s okay, you know, I don\u2019t mind.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMind what?\u201d She asked impishly as she firmly took hold of the sheets beneath her as it felt as if he was trying to put his fist inside of her.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOkay,\u201d he said with a shrug, removing his fingers from her and pulled down his shorts, revealing his erect cock. She didn\u2019t have to be honest with him, why would she? They were strangers and both in need of release. He wanted to now, even if she wasn\u2019t ready for him. It was her own fault. She invited him, not the other way around.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Isaac repositioned himself on the bed and grabbed one of the pillows to put underneath her ass to elevate her hips a little bit for easier access. He lifted up her legs so they were in a triangle and pushed them to their sides so he could slide himself into her. \u201cNow, are you still sure you want this because I won\u2019t stop.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYes,\u201d she nodded as if she was a bobblehead toy and bit her lip as she looked at him through hooded eyes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re so sexy, you better stick to your rules about what you said\u2026 sticking with me until you get tired of me or I get tired of you,\u201d he said with a low growl near her ear. \u201cBecause I think you\u2019re delicious.\u201d He started to kiss her neck as he guided himself into her, feeling her body tense as he gently pushed inside of her, already feeling guilty that he had lost his patience for that moment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Could he do both? Slowly push himself inside of her and take away some of the uncomfortable feeling? He\u2019d never tried that before. He placed one of his hands on her stomach, to make sure she didn\u2019t move as he slid into her and felt how her uncomfortable feeling flowed into him, causing her to moan in pleasure. The wolf inside of him roared with impatience. \u201cDon\u2019t hold back, beautiful,\u201d he whispered in her ear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She felt overwhelmed and it felt amazing. His body heat continued to radiate towards her, warming her body underneath him. It was that werewolves were rare and that he didn\u2019t look Native American, otherwise she\u2019d have sworn he was one of Jake\u2019s people. If she felt uncomfortable because he was basically trying to break her in half on his cock, it ebbed away as if it hadn\u2019t been there in the first place.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her hands had somehow ended up on his shoulders and she ended up scratching him when he pushed through some resistance in her body. It was hard to stay relaxed, she knew it was the best thing to do, she had read about it so many times, but to actually experience it was something else. It felt heavenly and agony at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He gave her little time to get used to him being inside of her once he was fully in and he started to thrust inside of her, causing her mind to shatter in bliss, unable to let out anything coherent and Isaac loved the delirious look on her face. He paused when she spoke. \u201cAre you a werewolf?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA what?\u201d He stammered, trying not to lose balance at the sudden question. How did she know?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWerewolf.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know what you\u2019re talking about,\u201d he grunted and started to move again, he had been so close and now he had to start all over again. This was frustrating. If she was going to mention it again, he\u2019ll just say she was making things up, there was no way that she could know about his condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s okay, you know,\u201d she said with a moan and arched her back into him. \u201cMy ex was a vampire.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYeah, you\u2019re delirious,\u201d he said with a snort and gently brushed her lips with his to silence her. She was funny, he had to hand it to her. She was really something interesting and he hoped she\u2019d keep him around for her time in Paris.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou feel great inside\u2026 big\u2026 but\u2026\u201d she moaned as he hit a tender spot. \u201cSo good\u2026\u201d she breathed and instinctively wrapped her legs around his waist, causing him to slide in even deeper, surprising them both.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFuck,\u201d he grunted and thrust harder, wanting to feel the same feeling again but he could feel that her body was almost there, it had started to contract around him, softly at first, but the longer he was inside of her, the more active her body got. He slipped his hand between them and started to rub her clit, causing her to clamp down on him and come with a loud moan. \u201cThat\u2019s it\u2026\u201d he whispered as he kept moving, adamant that she\u2019d ride out her orgasm, but knowing that it would probably wouldn\u2019t end that way. \u201cBeautiful, so beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOh\u2026\u201d she managed to let out and let her head fall back into the pillow as she was seeing stars. Bella tried to catch her breath but he kept pounding into her and rubbing her, keeping her on that high for what felt like an eternity before he came inside of her.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFuck\u2026 please tell me you\u2019re on the pill,\u201d he breathed as he flopped beside her in the bed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She looked at him, trying to focus on his words and on his face as she tried to steady her breathing and shook her head, biting her lip. \u201cI was dating a vampire. I <em>was <\/em>set to marry him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cVampires don\u2019t exist,\u201d Isaac huffed as he used the sheet to clean them off. \u201cYou\u2019re insane.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sighing, she held up her arm and pointed at her scar. \u201cWhat do you make of this then?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLooks like you got bit by an animal and it didn\u2019t properly heal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOh, come on,\u201d Bella smacked him on his chest. \u201cVampires are real. My best friend is a werewolf and you\u2019re one too. Different, I guess, but you\u2019re one too.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNope,\u201d he shook his head and got off the bed to dump the sheet in the hamper. \u201cNot to worry though, I\u2019ll hop by the pharmacy in the morning to get you a morning after pill. My mistake, my costs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bella blinked as she watched him gather his clothes and getting dressed. \u201cFine, I don\u2019t care. Whatever.\u201d She crawled underneath the blankets that remained on the bed. \u201cIf you want to leave, go ahead and take my room key so you can return in the morning and you\u2019d better bring me breakfast along with that pill.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYeah, maybe. Maybe I won\u2019t. I\u2019m just trying to be responsible here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYeah and maybe I was wrong in picking you because I don\u2019t want to be responsible, Isaac. Life\u2019s too short to be responsible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSo you want the chance of a rugrat running around? Thanks a lot! That\u2019s a lot more responsible than I\u2019m interested in dealing with&#8230;\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDude, it was just this once. Lighten up.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He scowled as he turned to face her. \u201cHaven\u2019t your parents ever told you all it takes is one time? Trust that you don\u2019t want another one of me walking around.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYeah, fine, get that pill in the morning. Like I said, I don\u2019t care. If you\u2019re so hung up about it, then I\u2019ll take it so that you can rest your pretty head and not worry about any puppies running around,\u201d she rolled her eyes and settled down in the bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll be back in a couple of hours,\u201d he said as he took her roomkey from the dresser and held it up. \u201cI\u2019ll be taking this.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI told you to take it,\u201d she said before she grabbed a pillow and threw it at him. \u201cGood night, Isaac.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">~o~o~<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Isaac made sure that he was first in line the next morning at the local pharmacy to get the morning after pill for that crazy person in the fancy hotel. He\u2019d been stupid not to ask her before hand, not to carry a condom on him. He had vowed never to have children because he was afraid to turn into his father and his father had been one crazy asshole. Sure, his father was all he had left growing up, but Isaac was afraid that he\u2019d grow to resent his child just like him.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And to risk impregnating a random girl he found in a bar? No. Absolutely not. On top of that, she was insane. After getting the pills, he went straight for the hotel, opening the room with the key that she told him to take and found the suite empty. The bed was disturbed, but her suitcase was gone. Her ripped panties were on the bed and a note was beside it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His eyes grew large as he read through her scrawled handwriting. He let the notecard fall from his fingers as he looked around the room as he debated his next move. \u201cThis girl is going to be the death of me\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Thanks for the great night, Isaac. I truly enjoyed myself and had big plans for you until you started to freak out. I decided it was safer for me to leave than to deal with you, but hey, if you want to find me and still give me the pill, go ahead and sniff me out. I\u2019ll mark wherever I go. Surely it mustn&#8217;t be that hard? I\u2019ll be heading down south next. xoxo Bella<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He didn\u2019t have to go after her, he could have easily forgotten about her and just move on with his life, but if he had to be honest with himself, the thrill of the hunt, the thrill of adventure made him follow her. It was something Isaac had missed. He had been passive for far too long and it was indeed time to start moving on. How long did it take to get over your dead girlfriend anyway? He didn\u2019t mourn this long for his own father!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When he explained the situation to Chris Argent\u2019s cousin Patrick, he slapped Isaac on the shoulder with a huge and encouraging smile and handed him the keys to his car. Apparently they had been waiting for him to become pro-active and stop wallowing for a long time now and they more than gladly saw him get on with his life.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In all fairness, Isaac had been pathetic, he knew this. He never should have allowed Chris Argent to take him to France and leave his friends behind because Isaac really needed them. He needed his pack, his alpha, even if they didn\u2019t want him around. Surely Mrs. McCall wouldn\u2019t have mind having Isaac stay over again?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But this whole mystery. This Bella. It had fired up his synapses and all of a sudden he felt like himself again. He just wanted to catch her now and see what would happen. He didn\u2019t care whether or not she\u2019d take the pills or not. He was a predator and he was going to catch her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He wasn\u2019t sure where she went though, all she said she was going south. He took the south exit out of Paris and had to laugh when there was indeed a \u2018mark\u2019 along the E5. <em>Good job pup, can you count to six? <\/em>He wasn\u2019t quite sure what she meant by that, but a short drive later, he saw the A6 and headed on that.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Isaac knew one thing; the girl was insane. She probably left just after he did &#8211; it looked like in her own car and had even had time to make cardboard signs for him. Yes, she ran away from her own wedding but had the relationship be that bad to do this to her or was this who she truly was? Was this just an amplification of her freedom?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This excited him. This was awesome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After two hours of driving, he decided to take a small break to get some feeling back in his foot and to get a bite to eat, in all the excitement, he hadn\u2019t made time for breakfast yet. It was funny how Bella\u2019s scent lingered in the small gas station, almost as if she\u2019d stopped there as well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cExcusez-Moi, are you Isaac?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Isaac looked at the man behind the till and nodded. \u201cI am.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t believe that you\u2019d show, but the woman seemed determined.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWoman? Bella?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t ask for a name. She said she\u2019ll meet you in France\u2019s third largest city at one of the museums because you\u2019re a doll and would fit right in. You still have time to find her but if you\u2019re late, you\u2019ll have to continue looking.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Isaac blinked at the man as he tried to figure out what the hell Bella was up to. \u201cThird largest city? That\u2019s Lyon?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCorrect. You should be on your way. If you wish to put petrol in your car, it\u2019s already been paid for.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThanks,\u201d he said confused. He didn\u2019t need to fill up his car just yet, he had left with a full tank and there was barely anything out, but he topped it up anyway before resuming his trip to Lyon. It was probably going to take him another two and a half hours. Isaac was thinking about maybe contacting Scott, tell him what he was up to in case things would happen, but then decided against it. The Argents knew and if something would happen, they\u2019d contact Chris Argent. It felt a bit silly to feel so attached to someone who wasn\u2019t even his own father. Was it out of loyalty? Probably.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He still hated him for leaving him without his friends though.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He could call Scott later. He wanted to catch up to Bella and see what crazy idea she had planned for him next.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>~0~0~0~<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She had spent a couple of hours at the hotel in Lyon after having taken a nap at the hotel for a couple of hours. She knew that Isaac wouldn\u2019t be at the hotel in Paris before 9 am so it was safe to nap until around 1 in the afternoon before heading to the museum. Bella loved museums, she loved to learn about the history of a place &#8211; it was a shame that she hadn\u2019t done so in Paris, she wanted to see more, but the idea to try and tease the boy into following her had been more appealing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This museum just happened to have a huge doll collection as well and that was a little bit creepy. They reminded her of the Cold Ones. Motionless. Expressionless. Fucking Edward.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There was a coffee shop nearby where she ordered a coffee and something to eat before taking a seat on the steps to the museum where she could see anyone enter or come out. She still had the feeling that her dealings with the Cullens &#8211; and the Volturi &#8211; were far from over, seeing as the deal was for her to be turned or to be killed because she knew too much. And maybe it had been a stupid idea to come to Europe &#8211; France in particular &#8211; as it was so close to Italy and Volterra, but on the other hand, wasn\u2019t the best way to hide from someone right under their noses?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She was wearing her favourite jeans and a short sleeved top and the sun was warming her skin, she loved it. She loved the feeling of it. She had never liked Forks that much. The humidity was horrible for her hair, but great for her skin. She preferred the heat, even though it was simply too hot to do anything active right now. Bella had to come up with another idea on where to go, where to get the boy to chase her next, that is if he was coming in the first place.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She expected that he would. He had shown a thirst for adventure, like her, he needed to get out of his head and do something insane. Like chasing a girl through France because they had unprotected sex. The dear. He was such a cute pup, it was almost too cruel to let him chase her. Bella opened up the maps option on her phone and looked for the next place she\u2019d go to. Marseille looked wonderful. They could meet on top of the mountain with the cathedral or something. Drive him insane and make him have sex with her again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The thought alone excited her. The previous night might have been her first, but it had felt so good to just connect and float and she had the feeling that if he hadn\u2019t freaked out like that, he\u2019d have shown her so much more pleasure.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marseille it was. Maybe not have actual sex at the cathedral, but somewhere else, a waterfront hotel perhaps, but yes. Water. Sun. Sunbathing. She needed to go shopping for swimwear. Definitely.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGotcha.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bella looked up to him with a grin. \u201cWell done, you\u2019ve found me,\u201d she said as she got to her feet. \u201cNow what?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI think I deserve a reward,\u201d Isaac said boldly as he pulled her against him and kissed her hard before letting her go and smirked. \u201cAnd you owe me dinner.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat? So you can slip that pill into my drink?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He shrugged. \u201cI hadn\u2019t thought of that, but yeah, why not.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHa, no.\u201d Bella shook her head. \u201cI\u2019m not taking it.\u201d She turned around to grab her bag off the floor and swung it over her shoulder. \u201cYour reward will be dinner with me, yes. At the hotel. Then we both get a good night\u2019s sleep and we\u2019ll see what we\u2019ll do after, deal?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t just drive four and a half hours for just that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAt least one of us slept properly last night,\u201d she said with a smirk as she started to walk towards the hotel, swaying her hips as she did. \u201cBut fine, if you want to sleep in your car tonight, don\u2019t follow me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDid you know that legend says that the Virgin Mary saved Lyon from the Plague?\u201d Isaac said as he fell in behind her. \u201cA statue was erected in her name.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cErected?\u201d She countered playfully. \u201cHow erect?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIs that all you can think about? Aren\u2019t you sore?\u201d He snorted as he put his hands in his pockets as he followed her. If there was one thing he liked about France, it was the architecture and the colours. For some reason, it fascinated him. \u201cWhen I drove into Lyon, I couldn\u2019t help but notice that cathedral on the hill. Looks pretty, want to check that out?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She stopped and turned around to face him, intrigued by how he wanted to go exploring and with her. \u201cAre you religious, Isaac?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOh, no I\u2019m not but imagine the view from there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd you want to go with me?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t see anyone else. Maybe this could be an opportunity to get to know each other better.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bella huffed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOr not,\u201d he said with a nod. \u201cFine. But can we go up there?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou can go on your own,\u201d she said as she thought she saw a glimpse of a Volturi robe pop around the corner. This was ridiculous seeing as the sun was out, but it was definitely a robe of some sort. Maybe a sun blocking one. To go on a tour of Lyon sounded great, but it\u2019d also mean more exposure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYeah, but you might leave again and I\u2019d have to follow your breadcrumbs, again.\u201d Where did that come from? She seemed to have liked the idea, somewhat, and now she was acting like a cold person all of a sudden. Was it him?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSo?\u201d Oh, she really shouldn\u2019t have thought about the Volturi earlier when she was waiting for Isaac to finally show his face. She knew she\u2019d have to go to them eventually, but she wanted to go out on her own terms. See the world a little and experience freedom at least a little before they\u2019d kill her. Or worse; they could turn her and she\u2019d be stuck with them forever. That would suck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m asking nicely. Come on, we\u2019re here. Strange new city to explore. You lead me here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYeah, because you decided to follow me,\u201d she pointed out and saw a flash of the robe again. Surely it was in her imagination? She didn\u2019t want to die. Maybe there was a way to get out from under her deal with the Volturi, what if she\u2019d promise not to tell anyone? Would that work? Probably not. \u201cI just want to go to the hotel and get some sleep. Maybe get drunk first.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOkay, but you\u2019re missing an opportunity here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou can go by yourself, how\u2019s that?\u201d She smiled up to him. \u201cI\u2019m staying at a small hotel in a street next to this one. Feel free to come whenever you\u2019re ready.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI want to come with you. I want to come.\u201d She seemed spooked for some reason, he realized, and even though he had denied being a werewolf, if she was spooked, she\u2019d be safer with him. Maybe she was just crazy. He needed to get to know her better.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOkay, good,\u201d she let out a breath of relief, grabbed his hand and started to pull him with her towards the hotel. \u201cYou can have anything you want for food, drinks or whatever. It\u2019s on me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The street they were walking through was filled with caf\u00e9\u2019s, restaurants and bars and there were a lot of people in the streets and he could understand why she preferred that, if someone really was out to get her, she could easily get lost in the crowd. But was someone out to get her? \u201cWhat are you afraid of? Who?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNo one,\u201d Bella replied as she kept walking, ignoring the people around them. She had felt safe in Paris because no one could have known she was there, but her presence hadn\u2019t gone unseen. Surely someone at the wedding could have yapped to the Volturi about her leaving Edward at the altar and could have said that she took the first plane out. It was only a matter of time before they\u2019d find her, wasn\u2019t it? Jasper may have helped her get away, but his mate, Alice, had always insisted that Bella would become one of them. She\u2019d actively search for Bella.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oh great, she didn\u2019t have just the Volturi to worry about, she also had to hide from the pixie. She hated to feel this paranoid. Alcohol was going to take care of it, she was sure of it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBella\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat? I don\u2019t have to tell you anything I don\u2019t want to. Part of our arrangement, remember? Same with you. You don\u2019t have to tell me anything.\u201d She said as she picked up her key from the front desk of the hotel and pulled him with her, too eager to get her face off the street. \u201cBut I want to add another rule to that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCan I object to the rule?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSure, but then your adventure will end here in Lyon and you can go back to Paris,\u201d she said as she climbed the stairs. \u201cBecause I think that by now, they\u2019ll know I\u2019m not alone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Paranoid. Check, Isaac thought. He needed to get this girl some help, what if there wasn\u2019t a fianc\u00e9 back in America? Maybe he should call Scott. No, Scott would just ask Stiles to look into it, it was better to call him even though Scott was his alpha. Oh, decisions were hard. \u201cWhat\u2019s the rule?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t make any decisions.\u201d She pulled him into the hotel room and closed the door before jumping in his arms and kissed him. \u201cCan you do that?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGood, you can stay,\u201d she smirked as she gently pat his head as if he was a puppy before ruffling his mahogany hair. \u201cFor now.\u201d They were so not going to Marseille next.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGoodie,\u201d he snorted as he kissed her and walked them to the bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>~0~0~0~<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBitch,\u201d he groaned as he woke up and didn\u2019t find Bella next to him. Isaac rubbed the sleep out of his eyes and focused on his surroundings, finding breakfast on the bedside table with a note attached to it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Fun, wasn\u2019t it? I kinda like this game, don\u2019t you? Have some breakfast and come find me. You can pick up your plane ticket at the desk downstairs. Upon arrival at your destination, there will be a car for you waiting. xoxo Bella. ps: I\u2019ve decided not to wear any underwear today.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOh, so small decisions are okay, huh?\u201d Isaac snorted as he took a bite out of the croissant and headed into the shower to freshen up. Afterwards, he wanted to do a quick search on his phone but without knowing her last name &#8211; wait, how did she know his? She must have looked in his wallet when she bought the plane ticket! &#8211; and knowing where she was from, this would be a very difficult task. Not even one he could bring to Stiles. Although, maybe he could since his father was in law enforcement after all. On top of that, the guy likes puzzles.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sup, Stiles?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Is that really you? Glad you\u2019re not like\u2026 dead.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Are you better?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Am I better? Of course, I am better. I\u2019m fixed. Seriously. It\u2019s been months. Where are you?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Still in France but could you do me a favor?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Am I going to like this?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>It\u2019s a puzzle. Or maybe not so much if you can ask your father for recent missing persons.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u2026 I\u2019m not going to like this, am I?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Easy. Name is Bella. About 5\u20196\u201d, between 18 and 22 years old, brown hair, green eyes.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Send me a postcard if I get the information you need, so I can show Scott you\u2019re still alive. He\u2019s worried about you.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>I\u2019m fine.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Isaac shoved his phone in his pocket as he finished the croissant and drank the cold tea before picking up his plane ticket to Caen. He had to scratch himself behind his ear for that. Why go to all the trouble of going to Lyon and then back up to Caen? It didn\u2019t make any sense. His flight wasn\u2019t for another couple of hours and he didn\u2019t have to go to the airport just yet, so instead he went up the hill and visit the church that overlooked Lyon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once he was up there, he had to agree with himself that the view was absolutely breathtaking and snapped a few pictures with his phone to share with Bella once he found her again. Isaac couldn\u2019t understand why they had to travel alone, there wasn\u2019t much chasing to do if he\u2019d only followed where she went. That was a little bit of a letdown, to be honest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The memories of last night flooded back to him and he couldn\u2019t help but smirk widely. He had allowed her to explore his body &#8211; mostly because she demanded it &#8211; and her touch had been so gentle, so sweet. He dared her to do whatever came up in her head and that had been heaven. Bella proved to be very creative for a virgin.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He couldn\u2019t help but get impatient at one point and returned the favor, covering her body in kisses and gentle caress and he hadn\u2019t been able to help himself but to get a taste of her, lapping up her fluids before making her come on his tongue and later on his cock.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Isaac had developed another theory, the one where Bella grew up in a cult where it had been prohibited to be touched, to touch and where sex had been out of the question. It would explain the cold, dead boyfriend she left at the altar. It would explain yesterday\u2019s weird behaviour.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She hadn\u2019t mentioned anything about him being a werewolf or anything about vampires so maybe it had been the alcohol talking when they first met. Vampires were the stuff of legend, weren\u2019t they? So were werewolves but Isaac became a believer when Derek turned him. He still loved being a werewolf. It had gotten easier not to shift during the full moon and fully control himself. The heightened senses were something he could live with, even with the added intensity during it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first full moon after Allison died, however, he had given into the shift as he was in a forest anyway and had howled at the moon, crying for her and it had felt great to get it out of his system that way. Then the Argents told him that it was better to control himself for the next full moon because there were other hunters in the area who had not adjusted to the \u2018some werewolves are good\u2019 code and they didn\u2019t want anything happen to him.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When he arrived at the airport of Lyon, he received a text back from Stiles, confirming that Bella had been given up as missing. Her name was Bella Swan and she lived in Forks, Washington. Theories were that she had been kidnapped or that she had hurt herself, but Mr. Stilinski had told his son that Bella was deemed to be unstable. Stiles then demanded why he was asking after Bella, asking if Isaac had seen her, but he made up an excuse that one of the shamans he had befriended in his time in France had had a vision about her. Not being able to see Stiles\u2019 face he wasn\u2019t sure if he bought it, but it bought him some time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He wasn\u2019t sure why he had done that if he had to be honest. If Bella was unstable, she needed medical attention, but they said that Lydia was crazy too, and she definitely wasn\u2019t. Lydia was Lydia. A banshee. Could Bella be a banshee or was there really more to the story?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Isaac wasn\u2019t even sure if he should confront Bella with what he had found out, that they were looking for her, she seemed to enjoy herself and wasn\u2019t hurting anyone, so what was the harm in that? He could keep an eye on her, but that meant he\u2019d have to find her again.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The car at the airport of Caen came with another little note from Bella.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m at the beach near a restaurant called the factory. Head to Lion-Sur-Mer and use your nose. When you find me, I\u2019ll give you a Scooby snack. xoxo Bella.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She knew, there was no doubt about it that she knew that he was a werewolf. How? How could she have known? Yeah, she had mentioned something about her best friend being one but different. So how could she have known? Were there really other kinds of werewolves? He hadn\u2019t found evidence of any in the Argents\u2019 bestiary. He would have remembered if there were other types of werewolves out there.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He used his phone for navigation; they were in Normandy now and there weren\u2019t any big cities nearby and he didn\u2019t want to miss his exit or a turn. He wanted to go to her now. Make sure she was alright.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There was a small parking lot at the Rue du G\u00e9n\u00e9ral Gallieni and it was only a short walk to the beach from there. He could smell her. She had only just left her scent on one of the walls, not just any scent though. It was the scent that made him delirious for her; it had driven him insane in Paris and then last night in Lyon. It then hit him that she had written that she wasn\u2019t wearing any underwear today and his cock pressed against his jeans in an instant.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Swallowing hard, he followed the scent almost blindly and found Bella sunbathing in a pop-up beach tent. She seemed to be asleep, the top half of her body &#8211; she was wearing a bikini top &#8211; somewhat shaded in the tent and her legs covered underneath a towel, her bikini bottom laying next to her, strategically placed for him to see. She was gorgeous. Hot.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He dropped to his knees and kissed her eagerly when she opened her eyes and looked at him with a big grin on her face and lust in her eyes. His hand immediately went underneath the towel where he could feel her wetness for him.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou like your Scooby snack?\u201d She muttered as they kept on kissing, using the kiss to stifle a moan that escaped her mouth as he pressed his thumb against her clit. \u201cI do\u2026\u201d she moaned again as he repeated the motion.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He wet his fingers on her and slid one inside of her which was quickly followed by a second. This was hot. This was crazy and it was hot, there weren\u2019t any other words for this, and he was determined to have her come on his fingers. He wanted to take her right there in the sand, but seeing as it was a hot day out and still quite early in the afternoon, the beach was filled with people, a family of four just a foot away from them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He admired her bravery, her boldness, as she wasn\u2019t afraid of showing what she wanted. Making her come in public was going to be amazing, how quiet could she be? He knew she could be loud, but could she be quiet too?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bella\u2019s back arched into him as he kept working her, only briefly breaking off the kiss to allow the both of them to get a little bit more oxygen into their bodies. She pulled his head back to her to kiss him to stifle another moan and bury her hands in his hair. Isaac had the idea that she wanted to pull him inside of her, she was pulling that hard on his hair, and he couldn\u2019t help but laugh.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t stop,\u201d she breathed, begging. \u201cSo close.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019d better be quiet,\u201d he whispered as he kissed her cheek.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bella huffed as she tugged on his shirt to create some space for her and pulled him down even further so she could kiss his neck and &#8211; oh, she was <em>so<\/em> close &#8211; his collarbone before clamping down on it as she came.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Shit. <\/em>He hadn\u2019t expected her to bite down on his clavicle. He almost forgot that they were in a public place and managed not to let out a low growl, instead it turned into something throaty, something that piqued Bella\u2019s interest as she was coming down from her high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m telling you, you\u2019re a werewolf.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/meekobuggy.com\/?page_id=312\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"250\" height=\"167\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/meekobuggy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/next2.jpg?resize=250%2C167&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-284\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/meekobuggy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/next2.jpg?w=250&amp;ssl=1 250w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/meekobuggy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/next2.jpg?resize=150%2C100&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chapter 01 The decision to run away on her wedding day had been the best idea she\u2019d ever had.
