Kicking Simon Out, Getting Anton In!

October panicked from left to right. "Scarlett is okay." she kept saying. As she turned to face Isabella who ran down the stairs, she said aloud, "She is okay right? She didn't leave home as they said, right?"

"Mom. Scarlett is fine. She will be. She is the strongest person I know."

October gasped. "Don't tell me…" she covered her mouth immediately.

Belly shook her head. "That's not possible. The alpha wouldn't come after her. That is not how he does his thing. I don't think her being missing has anything to do with werewolves. I called Mia a little while ago and she talked about drugs and stuff like that. She said she even found a bottle of alcohol inside Scarlett's closet."

October beat her chest as she blamed herself. "It's all my fault. It's all my fault, Bella. If she was going through this and I stood by her, she wouldn't have turned to those things."
