New Beginnings

Chapter 35

 ^^ dedicated to you for the message you left me on my wall... New Beginnings has been finished for a while but it was lovely to read that someone was still enjoying it. :) 

 Isabelle’s P.O.V.

Resting my head on the car window I pop a pain killer into my mouth and take a swig out of the lukewarm bottle I had placed on my lap when I climbed into the car 3 hours ago.

“Still giving you trouble?” Without moving my head I glance out of the corner of my eyes to the man driving.

“Yep, I thought being a shifter meant that I would heal quicker.” Yes it was a whine but I’m in pain. Dylan just pulls his eyes away from the road briefly and raises his eyebrows at me.

“You do heal quickly Bella.” He returns his eyes to the road but carries on the same speech he has been giving me since the Cooper pack doctor allowed me to leave “You had a broken rib, a punctured lung and countless other injuries, if you were human you may not have even lived. Just give your body time, it is healing fast but it still needs time.” Sighing I stick my tongue out at him, childish but he cant see me he’s too busy driving. “Put your tongue away Miss Starr.” That boy must have eyes on every side of his head, I can’t get away with anything when he’s around.

“How much longer till we get there?”

“By the look of this traffic another half hour.” I sigh again and Dylan leans across and kisses my forehead “get some rest.” Ever since we got back from our little mission he has been 1) acting strange and 2) treated me like a china doll, he seems to think I might brake or keel over at the mere hint of exertion.

Ignoring his advice I switch on the radio and tune it to my preferred channel. The familiar lyrics by The Buzzcocks fill the car:

And if I start a commotion,

I run the risk of loosing you,

And that’s worse.

Getting into the song I burst into the chorus with the guys and send a shifty glance in Dylan’s direction;

Ever fallen in love with someone,

Ever fallen in love with

In love with someone

Ever fallen in love

In love with someone

You shouldn’t’ve fallen in love with.

 

After the song the presenter starts to babble and the adverts come on so I just drift into my own little world. It has been three days since we had escaped from the Dark Wolf’s pack. Today is the twentieth meaning we had completed our mission on the seventeenth giving us seven days to spare before the deal was supposed to go down. The reunion of Alpha Cooper and Elle was emotinal and her pack threw a huge party that evening to welcome her back and to thank the remaining members of the rescue party, none of us felt like partying at all. Thankfully I wasn’t allowed to go because of my unstable health, however the guys all went to show face but only Drake stayed for the party.

 I had spent the past three days in bed healing, grieving, thinking, it hadn’t been a pleasant times and in the end Dylan was the only one who would sit with me and put up with my bipolar attitude; one minuet I was crying, the next shouting abuse.
