Eala Chapter 8 Teaser

Mo ghrá thú, leanbh

 That was the only text I'd gotten in the last two weeks. It hurt, but I knew it was necessary. It must've been too risky to come see me.

I wanted to argue with him so much to prove that I was capable of taking care of myself, for him to let me be part of his family. But I knew what would happen; the same thing that happened each time I brought it up over the last year. He would shut down the conversation by telling me I'm worth too much to him.

I kept myself occupied by working harder at the bar, and I had three months of bands lined up to show for it, not to mention my bar had never looked cleaner. I turned to working out and shooting daily instead of a few times a week to keep my mind off the fact I had no idea when I would see Edward again.

The small amount of spare time I did have was spent helping Angela pack up her apartment and move it all to suit man's place. We were making a trip to their new apartment when she grew exasperated with my nickname for him.

"Say his name with me, Bella. Ben. You can even say Benjamin." She grabbed a box out of her trunk.

I rolled my eyes, grabbing a box for myself. "Does it matter? He isn't here, is he?"

"Yes, he took the day off to help me unpack."

She was so goddamn happy that I couldn't even rain on it, even though I wanted to. I wondered if he knew anything. Maybe he knew where Edward was and when he might get free. I shook my head of those thoughts, knowing it wouldn't get me anywhere good.

The place she was moving into was super nice, with high security, of course. I would expect nothing less, considering suit man handles the Cullen family money.

The door opened, and suit man was in sweats and a t-shirt. "Well, shit," I chuckled quietly.

His eyes dropped to the floor upon seeing me. It must be a respect thing. "Hello, Bella."

"Ben-ji-men." I over pronounced his name, giving the bitch brow to Angela.

The door shut behind us, and there in the living room was my dathúil. "Edward!" I dropped the box and ran over, wrapping myself around him.

OutTake Lucian Ira Cullen

Lucian Ira Cullen I stand outside, listening to the music echoing from inside the house. The party is a rager, or whatever they call it. I’m not really into it. I came to make sure my little brother doesn’t get himself into too much trouble. Mike is standing with me and his girl Katie. She’s good for my brother, and they’re going on the one year mark. He’s actually asked dad about promise rings. I can’t help but smirk at the idea of shopping with him and Dad; Mike is finally ready for something serious. My heart stops when I see Brandi. We’ve been together for two years. I knew that our fight a couple of days ago was going to be a hard one to come back from. But I really thought she would still be with me, love me like I love her. Instead, I see Vince sticking his tongue down her throat and her arms are wrapped around him. I don’t feel myself moving, but I hear the screaming. “Jesus, Lucian, stop, man, stop!” I feel Mike and Damon pull me off of Vince. Brandi st

My dad is the CEO and founder. Along wi

Eala Chapter 18

Chapter 18 EPOV My head is foggy and I’m trying to figure out what the incessive banging is. Why is my phone going off incessantly? I roll over to nudge Bella, only to find her not in bed next to me. “What the fuck?” I rub my face and look at the clock. My stomach turns when I read the numbers; six a.m. I stumble out of bed, grabbing my phone and seeing numerous missed calls from Emmett, Mama Es, and Jasper. I whip open the bedroom door to hear Emmett yelling and banging on the new front door that was installed per request from Bella. I quickly open it up to a panicked Emmett. “We have to go to Eala!” “What the fuck is going on?” I snap at him as I try to gather my shit that I flung around the apartment last night. “Da is missing, and so is—” He stops, nervously wiping his hands on his pants, clearly not wanting to look at me. I take slow, calculating steps toward him. “Emmett, who else ?” He finally meets my gaze. “Bella.”
