Third Person P.O.V

Asher took Bella out of the pack house towards a garden. David, Victoria, Leo, and Lily were also following them. After a few minutes, Bella saw that there weren't just a few people milling around the garden, but many people were present and everyone was cooking together. Men, women, young and old, everyone. Upon passing by, she discovered that all the members of the New Moon Pack were present there. Bella stopped her movements when she noticed Beta Levi, Julie, and Alpha Gabriel. Alpha Gabriel was also looking at Bella and smiled slightly. After all, Asher had made her come here.

"Why did you bring me here Asher? I will not go there," Bella asked, trying to go in a different direction from there, but Asher grabbed her hand.

"Please Bella. Don't take away the two hours you have given me. Please," Asher pleaded, working towards convincing her while holding her hand. Bella looked at Alpha Gabriel who was no longer smiling at her. Alpha Gabriel could see the loathing in Bella's eyes and it was justified. So he thought it was appropriate not to look at her now. Asher held Bella's hand as he took her to the middle of the group, every member of the pack bowed their head in front of Bella in a sign of respect. Asher sat in the grass pulling Bella into his lap.

"Hey, I can sit on the ground you know," Bella told him as she looked at the people around her, who were watching the two of them smiling. She felt shy.

"But I want both of my babies to sit in my lap," Asher whispered into Bella's ear. She felt good when he placed his hands softly on her belly. It was an amazing feeling. She agreed to sit because right now among all these people she could not argue with him or else she would appear to be a b***h that had offended their Alpha Asher.

"Bella, do you eat chicken?" Julie asked, passing her a plate full of hamburgers and chicken legs. Bella quietly nodded her head taking the plate. Julie was a sweet woman, who Bella did not want to offend her.

"This is my husband and your uncle. He is the Beta. Beta Levi," Julie introduced Beta Levi and he smiled at her. She only bowed her head to him. She did not know what else to do. She had never lived among so many wolves before in her entire life, but right now she was surrounded by a whole pack where everyone's eyes were on her. It was quite intimidating for her.

"Bella, taste that chicken leg. It was made by me," David remarked as Asher fed her. He was also eating off the same plate with Bella.

"How is it?" David asked, he had a proud smile as he knew that it was the best. He had made it specially for Victoria.

"Yes, it's very tasty," Bella complimented, he was showing off that Luna had complimented his cooking. Leo rolled his eyes as they both ignored each other. Suddenly Asher feeds her some hamburger and Bella looks at him out of the corner of her eyes.

"How is it?" He asked, showing her his handsome smile and she started to chew it softly.

"It's absolutely delicious," Bella applauded honestly.

"It is made by Alpha Gabriel, Bella," Leo suddenly revealed as Bella's eyes went to Alpha Gabriel. She immediately placed the plate on the ground.

"I don't want it anymore," Bella announced, everyone went quiet at her words. She was looking absolutely furious when her gaze fell on Asher.

"Why did you bring me here Asher?" She asked him again.

"Because I want to talk to you Bella," Alpha Gabriel said.

"But I do not want to talk to you, Alpha Gabriel," Bella replied straight away.

"I know, but you need to hear what I have to say so that you learn the whole truth," Alpha Gabriel stated as Bella frowned.

"Whatever you have to tell me, I will never be able to believe it because you murdered my father. I will never believe the word of a murderer. Kill me for calling you a murderer or kill me for offending you, but I will never believe your word," Bella advised as she tried to get up from Asher's lap.

"Bella, please hear my dad out this one time. I also do not know what he is trying to say, but I want to replace out. I am also as in the dark as you are right now. Let's hear him out and then you can decide whether you want to believe him or not," Asher coaxed. Bella thought a thousand it through a thousand times before saying yes. Alpha Gabriel felt relief as she was ready to hear him.

"Do you see this?" Alpha Gabriel asked, passing an album to Bella. David, Victoria, Leo, and Lily came closer to Asher and Bella so they could also understand what had happened in the past. Bella opened it seeing pictures of her mother. There was one more photo, it was the photo of both her mother and father together.

"This photo was taken when your parents were married in this pack. She wanted to get married here. In memory of that time all of us kept this photo because no one knew when she would return," Alpha Gabriel told Bella. The next photo that Bella saw was of the entire pack, of Alpha Gabriel with her parents. They looked very happy among themselves. Then suddenly the next photo that was revealed to Bella was very surprising. It showed five men, two of whom were Alpha Gabriel and Beta Levi. The most astounding thing was that Alpha Jack was also with them. Looking at them all, it seemed as if they had been close friends. One of them was Bella's father, while on the other hand, Bella had no knowledge of one last male. That was when Bella realized that Asher was in a rage. When she looked at his face, she found that he was going mad with fury at the unknown fifth man.

"Who is this man?" She asked.

"This is the same Lone Wolf who murdered my mother," Asher clarified as his eyes were still fixated on the same picture. When she heard this Bella quickly changed the picture so that she could help calm his aggression.

"But what is this man doing in this photo?" Bella asked Alpha Gabriel herself this time. Alpha Gabriel was quite happy to see this. This time, she had no hate in her eyes, but an eagerness to learn the secret.

"We were all childhood friends, your father too, but the lone wolf who murdered my Luna was never our childhood friend. He was a childhood friend of your father, so I believed in his goodness and made him my friend. He always used to come with your father, he gradually became a good friend of ours as well, but none of us knew that his eyes were always on my Luna. On the day he attacked my pack with hunters, he did not come here alone. Your father was also here and with the help of your father the hunters were able to enter the pack," Alpha Gabriel explained as the ground crumbled from under Bella's feet when she learned that the lone wolf entered here with the help of her father. Asher was also startled to hear this as his dad had never told him that there had been another lone wolf in the pack that day, Bella's

father.

"So what do you want to say," Bella asked, the words could not come out of Bella's dry throat. There were tears in her eyes as she thought about her father's involvement in the r**e of Asher's mother and the death of his unborn sister.

"No! Don't cry! Your father was an innocent man!" Alpha Gabriel explained in panic before she thought wrong about her father. Alpha Gabriel gestured to Beta Levi to give her a glass of water as she was not able to hold in her emotions.

"Then what is the truth dad?" Asher asked in panic.

"Your father could always move freely in this pack because he was Amber's mate and a close friend of ours. But on the day our pack was attacked, taking advantage of your father's naivety, the lone wolf entered here with hunters. Your father did not have a clue as he blindly believed in him, this blind faith became the reason for your father's death. By the time your father returned, my entire pack had been destroyed, my Luna was dead and with her my unborn daughter. Seeing all this, your father began blaming himself and became positively insane. Amber was also with him at that time, she was hysterical in her sobbing. At the same time Alpha Jack, who used to be our close friend, also attacked us and the reason for his entry here was indirectly your father. There was a fierce battle between our two packs and many more people died. Both the packs had suffered a lot, luckily we were able to win this fight. Your mother was not hurt much, but your father was quite injured. Jack was fighting with another, but your father was going to die as Jack had pulled out his liver. Your father was constantly vomiting blood and it was impossible to save him, we were surrounded by enemies. Actually, this attack was not just on my pack, but a thinly concealed plan to steal you. Jack wanted to steal you because you were going to be his daughter in law when you married his son. Your mother gave birth to you in Jack's pack, he happened to be present at the birthing. Your throat was wrapped with the umbilical cord, it was absolutely impossible to save you. Only Jack's sister could do it. Despite being a friend at the time, Jack made your father an offer that he would save you, but only on one condition if he married you to his son lan," Alpha Gabriel divulged, making Asher growl Bella had to place her hand on his to calm him down.

"At that time your father only wanted to save your life, so he agreed but after the betrayal that Jack had committed against me, your father was not ready to marry you to lan. I tried hard to save your father, but the liver is an essential part of our body, which Jack had removed. Amber was crying while Levi and I were trying to protect you and your mother. When suddenly your father asked me to do something that I had never even considered. He could not get it out of his mind that it was his blind faith in that lone wolf that had killed my Luna. He was not able to live with this blame any longer, in the last moments of his life he asked me to take his life. Amber heard his words, but your father asked for one last promise of Amber to run away and keep you safe. She was not ready and it was difficult for Amber, but to fulfill the last wish of her mate, she ran from our pack to protect you from Jack. Your father again reiterated his last wish to me and only thirty seconds were left until his death, but before that he wanted to die at my hands. I did not know that you were watching all this or else I would never have done that in front of you. I ripped out the throat of my best friend with my own hands as he died with a smile. Other pack members were handling the situation there, while Levi and I were trying to replace Amber and you. We followed her scent across the entire pack and after that the waterfall, but then a pack member of Jack's informed him that Amber had jumped from the waterfall with you and died from the impact. It was disheartening news for us because I had not been able to protect the mate of my best friend and his child. Even after that day my pack members and I searched for you and Amber for the next ten days at the base of that waterfall, but we could not replace anything," Alpha Gabriel admitted, everyone was so shocked. Alpha Gabriel looked at Asher who had calmed down.

"Asher did not know about any of this as after the death of my Luna, he immediately left the pack to stay in the hostel with Leo. We elders never shared this information with our children and Jack became the number one enemy of our pack. I never thought that you would remember any of the things that had happened nevermind my appearance. I would never tell you not to hate me, but I am glad that you at least heard me out once. I cannot deny that I killed your father, I still consider myself guilty of that," Alpha Gabriel said with no small amount of remorse as he looked at Julie and Levi. Julie was crying remembering her sister as Levi was trying to calm her down.

"None of us mentioned this for so many years because these events only hurt us and reopen

old wounds. But today when you, Amber's daughter, are sitting here in front of us we are glad that we can tell you the whole truth. We're glad you're alive, Bella," Beta Levi commented as Bella saw everyone's happy face. They all knew her mother, Bella had finally discovered why her mother never let her stay around any werewolves. Or why she told her to stay with humans because she was afraid that Alpha Jack's pack would take her away. She had been protecting her throughout her entire life.

"I am happy that my son, Asher, is mated to Amber's daughter," Alpha Gabriel announced,

smiling at Bella and Asher. Asher wrapped his arm around Bella's waist tightly as Bella looked

at him out of the corner of her eye. Asher was blushing. He was blushing! The thought instantly came to her mind and it was quite scary. This dominating, dangerous bad boy Alpha was blushing. Just because Alpha Gabriel had complimented us!

"She is my mate, dad. Soon I am also going to become a father," Asher revealed the truth to everyone, shocking them. Bella narrowed her eyes at him as he kissed her cheek.

"What? It means I am going to become an uncle?" David exclaimed.

"Me too?" Leo exclaimed at the same time.

"Oh my god it means I am going to become an aunt!!" Victoria yelled while Lily was so shocked

that she could not form any words. Bella was unsure how Victoria was going to react to the news, especially after just losing her own baby, but Victoria was over the moon about it.

"It means I am also going to become an aunt!" Lily burst out finally as she looked at Bella with disbelief.

"I cannot believe that my niece is pregnant. This is great news," Julie remarked, hugging Bella while looking towards Beta Levi. Beta Levi affectionately caressed her hair and looked at her with a smile. Lily and Victoria embraced Bella congratulating her. Only Alpha Gabriel stood far

enough away from Bella.

"Dad, won't you bless Bella and our baby?" Asher asked the smiling Alpha Gabriel, but he was looking at Bella's face. Wondering if she still hated him.

"Bella, will you let my dad bless our baby?" Asher inquired, everyone turned their gaze on her

with hopeful eyes. No one knew what she was thinking about Alpha Gabriel now after learning the whole truth. Bella looked at Alpha Gabriel then nodded her head softly and everyone jumped out of joy. Asher smiled at his dad. Alpha Gabriel walked towards Asher and Bella placing his hands on both of their heads.

"Always stay together and become each other's strength. Never talked about separation, but

only love and care. The Moon Goddess has blessed both of you with each other so always cherish it," Alpha Gabriel vowed, smiling at Bella and Asher, but Bella was still quiet. "Do you still hate me, Bella? Even if you do, I would like you to rethink about staying with our

pack. If not for the pack then stay for Asher. You both need each other so don't let your hate over rule your love," Alpha Gabriel advised as Bella looked up into his face. He was just like her father, she had always thought that he was the murderer.

"I am sorry for all the offence and the bad words that I spoke to you. Please forgive me," Bella sincerely apologized as Alpha Gabriel again put his hand on her head.

"No need Bella. Whatever you did or said was understandable. Leo, Lily, David, Victoria, Asher, and you, all of you are the future of our pack. I can never get angry with all of you. Now it is

your turn to make a choice. Do you want to stay or leave? We are ready to accept your final decision," Alpha Gabriel assured her. Asher's face turned white at hearing those unexpected words coming from his dad.

"Dad! What are you saying?" Asher asked, looking at Bella.

"Bella... you..." Asher stuttered, his heart was beating fast because of this he was not able to understand anything. Bella's expression was blank and he could not read her mind.

"The two hours you asked for me were fulfilled, Asher," Bella replied, her words caused Asher's

heart to stop.

"What do you mean Bella? Are you leaving me? Please don't," Asher pleaded, when Bella did not say anything, he fell on his knees.

"I promise I will not be an a*****e. I will not try to dominate you, rather I will listen to

everything you have to say. You can abuse me, slap me, beat me, but please don't leave me. Please, please give me the good fortune to be able to hear my child call me dad. Please let me also have a chance to be called a father and a mate by you. Please give me a chance to marry you. Please give me a chance to become your husband and make you my wife," Asher begged. The whole pack was watching this different face of Asher who had been a monster until this day, but because of Bella's love he had turned into a normal person, who was in love, who wanted Bella's love. Bella sat in front of him on her knees like him touching his cheeks.

"But I need to go, Asher," Bella said. Asher placed his hand on her that was on his cheek, shaking his head like a small kid.

"No! Please don't go! Why do you want to go?" He asked stubbornly. "Because I need to fulfill my promise that I made," Bella replied, everyone was confused.

"What promise? Where are you going?" Asher inquired.

"The promise that I made to meet your mom. I am going to meet my mother in law," Bella

explained, in one breath Bella pulled her hand away from his cheeks and got up. Asher was

still trying to catch up with what she had said. Bella was leaving there alone when Asher finally understood what she meant.

"She is going to meet my mom!" Asher yelped, looking at Alpha Gabriel who brightly smiled at him and nodded.

"Yes, she is!" Alpha Gabriel laughed as Asher quickly got up from the ground.

"It means she has accepted living in this pack," Beta Levi said, Julie nodded her head with a big

smile. Asher was smiling like crazy as he immediately ran to catch up with Bella. She was giggling as she played with Asher, scaring him. He caught her on the way.

"Do you even know where you are going? Do you know where my mom is?" Asher asked,

wrapping his arm around Bella's waist.

"I believe you will lead me down the right path," Bella remarked with a smile, he kissed her

cheek while standing behind her.

"Yes...forever...you will always replace me behind you...following you...blindly..." Asher promised, turning Bella around for a kiss.

"I love you Bella," Asher said, making Bella smile.

"I love you too, Asher. Now even if you want to, you will never be able to remove me from your

life because this lone wolf only wants her Alpha," Bella eased, Asher smiled at her words. He did not break the kiss, only replying to her by making it deeper. They both were standing in front of Asher's mother's grave, they had accepted each other completely heart and soul. "But I would never let you forget that you will always be in the arms of the bad boy Alpha," Asher reminded her.
