Prologue

I can't remember a thing about my childhood-my mother, where we lived, or anything. Until this moment sitting here in the hospital watching my father wither away. All I know is that we were driving down the road in our car, that car that we spent most of my life in moving from place to place never staying more than a few months in any one place, sometimes even shorter. I never got any answers to my questions about this constant obsession with moving but something about it always made me wonder what my father was trying so hard to protect me from. But as he lies before me dying I knew that this would be the day I would finally leave the truth.

All I did was stare at him as he whispered hoarsely to me, "Remember all I have taught you Bella, many changes are coming."

With tears streaming down my face I had to draw in a deep breath before I could answer him, "I am not a child now; I don't need to be protected anymore."

As he took his last breath in this world his final words shocked me to the core..."Bella no this is to protect the world from you."

Olivia Spade thought she'd lost the love of her life at 16, but ten years later Sebastian Grady returns. Everything is different, he is different, and nothing will be the same. Can they accept that the hands of fate have tied them together again? Can Olivia get past her fears that he will leave her like he did then? What happens when other factors enter their lives bent on tearing them apart?

Fate is strong, but is it strong enough?

"Sticks and stones may break our bones... but Bella will surely kill us."

What happens when an overprotective father sends his innocent baby girl to a private self-defense course run by a gay man?  Oh if he only knew what he was paying for!  Edward and Jasper aren't the only ones who have something to teach, seems Bella does as well... the art of patience.

Poly/slash included.

Picks up right after Bella shoots Mike. :)
