Chapter 19 Surrounded By Shadow

• Bella's heart pounded with fear as she realized the dangerous situation she had stumbled into. The vampires she now found herself surrounded by were far deadlier than her own pack. She had heard countless stories about them, all of which ended in bloodshed, death, and the gruesome act of bloodsucking.
• Finding it hard to catch her breath, Bella was about to speak up when Selene abruptly interrupted. "She's awake, the werewolf is awake," she declared, her eyes shifting to focus on Bella as she took a few steps back against the headboard.
• Confusion and concern filled Blade's eyes as he looked at his mother. He dreaded what his mate would think of him now, seeing the fear reflected in her eyes.
