Stella's POV

I woke up at 7:30 and found no sign of Julian in the room. So I wore his sweat pants and shirt, they were extra larg on me.

Like I care.

I like large clothes, I feel more comfortable in them.

And the fact that I don't have any clothes, didn't give me much of a choice, I can't complain.

I headed out of the room after I did my morning routines, I walked through the enormous house for a good amount of time until I reached the best place ever,the kitchen. I wanted to drink some water but the smell of a homemade breakfast melted my heart away and my tummy screamed for the tasty food.

I entered the big kitchen, and then I saw a pretty young woman, who looked exactly like Julian, except the fact that she had light freckles and dark blue eyes.

She's either his sister or mother.

" G-good morning " I greeted after a long time of admiring her soft beauty.

She looked at me with a big smile that made me relax, and thank God that she was a female figure.

" Oh good morning dear, you must be Stella, am I right? " She pulled her hand for me to shake, and I gladly did.

I smiled a small smile. " Well that's

me " I felt shy all of the sudden. She gazed at me for a minute or two then she leaded me to the kitchen counter.

She handed me a plate that was full of delicious food. " Eat dear, we have a long day today " she said.

Nancy's POV

While I was enjoying myself, making breakfast for my son's mate. " G-good morning " I heard a sweet low voice from behind me. I looked at the source of the voice and saw a very beautiful young girl, staring at me.

She had beautiful, dazzling gray eyes, pitch black hair, flawless skin and a tiny, skinny body. Julian was absolutely right, she is stunning with every small feature of her's. I can't believe she went through abuse and suffer.

My son better keep her safe and happy or I'll rip him apart.

"Oh Good morning dear, you must be Stella, am I right? " I asked her as I pulled my hand for her to shake and she did.

She flattered me with a sweet smile.

" Well, that's me " she replied, lowering her head and averting the eye contact. She's so cute.

Yup, she's good for him.

I leaded her to the counter chair and sat her on it. " I'm Nancy Woods, Julian's mama. " I sat across from her and handed her the food.

She grabbed a fork and started munching on the waffles and Omelets. " Hello miss Woods, it's a pleasure to meet you." She replied politely.

" Please call me Nancy, I feel old when you call me ' miss Woods ' " I said with a smile.

" Okay, Nancy "

" So Stella, tell me about yourself " I pointed out after she put the food in her mouth and let out a joyful moan.

I guess she liked it.

" I'm 18 ,I have no parents, I lived with my b-brother " She answered and I nodded.

" You lived? What about now? " I asked. I know about her past but I need her to tell me, to open up to me more.

She looked at me like she was debating whether to tell me or not.

As I wanted to tell her that's okay if she doesn't want to say, she looked at me with such determination and anger.

" I ra-n away, in fact... I did that last night. That's why I'm here, intruding on you. Sorry " She bowed her head apologizing, I felt sorry for her.

" Do you want to tell me why or... " I trailed off to see her reaction.

She nodded, weakly. " He abused me for more than 8 years, I lost track of the time so I'm not sure how many years exactly. He wanted to sell my body to some of his friends, but I didn't allow it,due to that I ran away last night, and ended up here. Under Julian's protection, which I'm very grateful for." She told me and I smiled at my son's behavior.

I raised you well JoJo.

I hugged her ,reassuring that she's safe now. " Honey, I'm so sorry for that. I bet you don't have clothes with you, am I right?" I asked her hoping for a yes.

" Well.... I didn't get the chance to pack anything with me. In fact I came here almost naked and it was super awkward since there was more than 20 males in this house. " She explained and I nodded, grabbing her arms and dragged her to the main door.

" Okay, we will get you something to wear. "

" No you don't have to, I'm not staying here anyway " She said and I chuckled.

She thinks that JoJo will let her go away that easily.

You can try, but it will never work.

" Yes, we do. And you are staying here, I'm not taking a No for an answer, now come on Stella. " I opened the door and the car keys.

" Do you mind if we tag my niece along with us? she's your age." I asked her as we sat in my black Mustang.

" No, not at all. " She replied then we headed to my niece's house.

_____

" We are here, let's wait for her. " I said after I pulled over to her mates house, she's Cody's mate - Julian's Beta- and she is so sweet and energetic.

" Okay "

10 minutes later, she decided to show up. I smiled as I saw her getting out of the house.

"...No way " Stella's whisper brought my attention back to her.

" What's wrong? " I asked, concerned.

She didn't reply, she just kept staring at her. When she opened the car door and saw Stella, they both froze on spot.

" Stella? "

" Skye" Stella stated, shocked if I must add.

What's going on?
