ANNABELLA'S POV I didn't know why I had to get up this early on a Saturday morning but I guess I wasn't in the best of mood with myself. I was scared and confused and it had so much to do with last night. I couldn't believe something like that had happened. The image of him pulling me to his bare chest and kissing my palm was lingering. I didn't know what it was about but my heart was already screaming in excitement. I stepped down from bed to look for a shower. But what was there to be excited about? I knew he wouldn't want to see my face once he found out I was a wolf just like the rest. It wasn't my fault neither did I choose this fate but it was easier to get blamed. No alpha would vouch for a wolf-less mate and talk more of letting her bore his pup and an heir at that.. I pulled out of the bathroom with a towel around my chest. I strode to the small closet at the corner of the room beside the window. I surfed through the few things I owned to look for something to help me
ANNABELLA'S POV “ Don't” I didn't realize he was beside me, his hand wrapped around my arm and spraying tangles into my body. “ You need to rest for a while,” he said in a low tone, the worry in his eyes made me frown. “ Tell me what happened, '' he asked and I bit my lip. Did I hurt myself because I saw a snake? I raised my hand to touch my forehead but he grabbed it “ It might be a little but it will heal soon “ he said and I stared at his face in shock. How was it going to heal, I didn't even have a wolf. I bit on my bottom lip again feeling guilty for hiding it from him. But I didn't know what he would do once he came to find out. I didn't know anymore if keeping quiet was the best thing to do, did I want to tell him? “ Did someone do something to you?” His deep authoritative voice pulled me out of my thoughts and I stared up into his blue eyes. What? No! “ I think you are getting it wrong” I bit on my lip “ I tripped when I was trying to get away from a snake” I knew how
ANNABELLA'S POV I woke up as early as possible and headed to the bathroom. Last night after he left, I only slept for a few minutes and that was early this morning. I knew I should be happy about him setting me free but the feeling I was getting wasn't close to that. I was more disappointed and scared than I should have been. I didn't know if I preferred being his property or living as a free woman. I sighed as I stared at my face in the mirror plus the white bandage that was around my head. I touched my forehead but I didn't feel any pain like I was supposed to. Roman might have been right because the more I pulled the bandage away, the less pain I felt. By the time the whole bandage was off my head, I realized I was completely healed which wasn't possible. I was a wolf less and healing should be slower. I was supposed to heal like a human but in this case, I healed in a few hours. I touched my forehead and couldn't explain it. Only my mate could have healed me this fa
ANNABELLA'S POV I was calm but my inside was in chaos. I couldn't think because my mind was blank. Staring at his face didn't seem to help me think but I wasn't ready to look away. At that moment, I wished I could read what was going on inside his mind and maybe know what he was thinking. I wished he would tell me he was joking but he wasn't the type to joke around. I thought I would never get used to this pack but it feels like I was losing something important, a part of me, I guess. I didn't know I was this comfortable in his pack and also with him. Going rogue wasn't safe for a wolf-less one like me but there was no way I was going back to the shadow pack. I was sure the pack had forgotten about me and everything that had to do with my existence. I was pretty sure they were living well without me. “ Is it that easy for you to leave me?” my head snapped up and the cold look in his eyes displayed before me as he stepped closer, his gaze not breaking away from mine. He
ALPHA ROMAN'S POV “ Did you find anything?” I stepped out of the woods in my wet black pants onto the quiet road with the rain beating heavily on the ground. “ We haven't found anything yet but we are hoping to, '' Vincent explained and my cold gaze ran over to the number of warriors in the river struggling to get the car out. “ The car is stuck in the river and whoever is inside the car is still breathing,'' he added but that wasn't what caught my attention. There was a strange smell in the air and I was sure it came from the river. It wasn't the first time something like this had happened on this highway. It was always one futile accident to another, most at times the victims appeared to be humans but I didn't think it was the same this time. I sniffed the air to be sure and I could smell blood in the air. The heavy rain wasn't helping or making it easy to smell anything but I wasn't any werewolf but an alpha and a powerful hybrid at that. I was half-demon, half-witch, and
23 ALPHA ROMAN'S POV It turned out her name was Sarena and she was a beta female from the Full moon pack which was about thirty-nine miles away from us. “ We will send words to your family and let them know you're here,” I said turning away when she grabbed my hand. “ Please don't” she pleaded and my cold gaze moved to her hand which was holding my wrist. “ Why?” I didn't understand why she wanted her family to worry for nothing. I admit she was in bad shape but she was healing just like expected. A few days would be okay to get her bones back to normal.” I don't want them to worry, I promise to leave as soon as I recover” “ Find out everything you can about her and find out if she is telling the truth,” I told Vincent the moment I stepped out of the room and he nodded. She will be in my territory for days since she didn't want her family to know, I couldn't risk anything. The familiar scent caught my attention as I reached the entrance of the hospital building and I turned m
24 ANNABELLA'S POV Madeline had already packed the food by the time I got downstairs. This time I didn't need directions to get to his office because I was almost familiar with the pack since I have been taking strolls lately. His office was quiet and the light was off signaling his absence. I wasn't sure how long I had been in here but long enough to know he wasn't coming. Long enough to give up but I decided to wait some more. Maybe he was in his way. Sitting on the couch with my eyes stuck to the door hoping he would walk in any minute but after waiting for what felt like an eternity I decided it was best I leave. He wasn't coming. I turned off the light and left his office. The atmosphere was dark but I wasn't in the mood for it. A few minutes to the pack house I decided to take a walk. Madeline wouldn't be in at that time and I wasn't in the mood for sleep. I headed towards the park. My inside was hurting, I could feel the twist each time I thought about him and her to
ANNABELLA'S POV His cold dark blue eyes, white short hair, and perfect features sparkled under the multi-colored club light. I didn't realize what he was doing until I was completely out of the club room. I pulled my hand back from his grip and stepped back from him. Was he angry? Well, who cares? “ What the fuck are you doing here?” Was he angry, what did he care anyway? I stared down at his feet and felt a bit guilty for vomiting on him. I didn't mean it, it just probed out of my throat all of a sudden and I couldn't hold it in. “ Sorry about that,” I said trying to avoid his gaze, I didn't know why I was angry with him when I shouldn't be. “ You didn't answer my fucking question” I like to curse, I guess. I felt the sudden silence and when I looked up I noticed his gaze was behind me. “ Get inside the car” he growled and I didn't need him to say it twice because I could feel his anger which scared me a little bit. The tone of his voice was different, not the one that
ANNABELLA'S POVHush breathing, violet eyes, and heavy toes colliding with the cold ground.Running in the woods like an astray dog, moving in circles like I had nowhere to go. Eve was silent and I was hurting. Did I have anywhere to go?I was so lost in the good feelings and the comfort of the mate bond that I didn't realize how alone I was in this life.I stopped to look back at the pack; the Turners pack was the only place I could call home because I had nowhere to go and no one to run to.I have never had a real home aside from this place. Was I going to lose this place, too?A tear slipped from my wolf's eyes, the pain was too much for her to bear alone. The familiar feeling was back in my stomach; my chest was clenching, and my eyes were heavy.We could have killed Juliet back there and left the pack in an unknown place so no one would find us and punish us. Eve wanted to do exactly that but I didn't want to stain my hands with her blood because she wasn't worth it.Was I not
JULIET'S“ Get out of my room!” a loud possessive growl that poured out her throat and resounded in the room like a thunderstorm. Her wolf was staring into her eyes; her eyes were glaring gold, and I felt my shoulder shake and my feet move back on their own as my eyes stared widely at her.What the hell was it with her?I couldn't believe my eyes or what I just heard.My feet took another step which I wasn't aware of. My whole body seemed to be reacting on its own, but I immediately covered the drat in my eyes with a frown.My hand fisted beside me.I didn't like the way she was intimidating me and my wolf. My wolf, Tina, might not be the strongest, but she wasn't supposed to be intimidated by a little girl. I refused to let her take what was mine; I was the one supposed to bear his mark and not her. I showed a strong face even though I was trembling inside.Tina was scared of her and I could feel her hiding behind the back of my head like a damn coward. Who the hell did she think s
ANNABELLA'S POVI heard Wade let out a low growl, but that didn't stop me from walking towards him; it was a voluntary action after all; he was my fated mate.I heard Kelly giggle as Roman swept me off my feet. I wondered how he knew I was here, did he also know that I didn't go to class today? I hope he didn't see Wade and Hens because that would be like a broken promise. I promised him I would stay away from Wade and then Hens but then why did I make that promise when there was nothing to stay away from? Wade and Hens were part of the group so I wonder how that was possible. “ Don't move.” His cold, deep, stern voice stopped me from moving as he placed me in the back seat of his car. Why was I suddenly feeling weak?“ How much did you drink?” He asked and I opened my eyes to look at him.” How much?” I repeated his question and I could tell he didn't like the way I was treating his question.“ I don't know, maybe a few glasses.” He hemmed as he tired the seat belt around me.” Hey,
ANNABELLA'S POV ‘ Rogue ‘ “ Are you okay?” Wade asked as he touched my shoulder, pulling me out of my thoughts.” Get inside, I will be right back. “Just as the words left his mouth, the door busted open, and a giant stinking brown wolf stood there, right at the entrance with a drool slipping down its mouth. “ Bella!” I heard Kelly's voice, but she stopped when she noticed the rogue at the door with the others. Wade pushed me behind him as he shaded me with his body. I didn't know why, but I wasn't the least scared, maybe because I have a wolf who could heal any kind of injury.“ Will you be okay?” I held my head in my hand, I watched Wade peel his shirt off his body. “ Let's take it down together,” I said with enough confidence, my gaze sitting on the rogue before us while I tried my best not to pay attention to the pain I was feeling. “ You are drunk.” He whispered, turning his head slightly to look at me.” My wolf isn't.” I replied and he grabbed my wrist.“ Maybe you should go
ALPHA ROMAN'S POVJuliet's injury wasn't that serious but it turned out her wolf was a slow function wolf. She barely got hurt but her wolf wasn't able to heal her.It has been hours, but there has been no improvement. I even thought taking her out on a ran could help since it works for most, but it was no use, as I realized at the end of the ran. Her injury seemed to be getting worse, and since it was a rogue attack, it was no doubt infected. “ Is it necessary I see the doctor again?” Juliet asked as I opened the car door for her. I didn't know if she truly didn't want to see the doctor or if I was the one overthinking things.” We can't have it infected.” Rogue attack couldn't be taken lightly especially when the injury refused to heal.Her wolf was too weak to heal her, and I guess that was because it was a slow functional wolf.“ Are you hungry?” She asked when I started the engine.” I will take you to get something after seeing the doctor.” I said as I drove on the main road towa
ANNABELLA'S POV“ Hey, Bella.” Kelly and the other were standing outside the parking lot carrying their bags, which was unusual.” We are skipping school, coming with us?” John asked and I turned my head to look back only to find Zack's car had disappeared. “ Come on, you can't possibly stick around here. It's going to be boring without you. Let's go have fun, it just for a while.” Kelly took my hand and my gaze went to the rest of the group. Kiran was present, so was Florence and, of course, John.” Okay.” I said and Kiran shrugged with a smile. “ We will leave in a few minutes; the bus is almost here,” John announced, and after a few minutes, a white minibus stopped in front of us. “ Girls first.” John stepped aside after pushing the door open, and I could hear Kiran giggling. I sat with Kelly, and Florence was behind us, alone on the seat of two. Of course, Kiran had John to pair with, and they were on our left side. “ She is a bitch.” Kelly whispered to me, and I didn't need to
ALPHA ROMAN'S POV “ What will happen when Juliet recovers her memories and finds out she is your betrothed?” Vincent asked, but I didn't have any answer to that. I did know that but I did know that Bella and I wouldn't part ways, at least not in this life. We were fated mated and that would never change.“ You don't know?” he sighed. I fucking didn't but that didn't mean I would let the past fuck up everything for me. Juliet would have to accept that I fucking have a mate who was going to be my fucking Luna. Once she completed college, I would announce her position to the entire pack, and from there, she would take up her duties.“ What about you send her out of the pack first?” Vincent suggested but that wasn't a fucking option.I still needed to find out who killed my father and his Luna. Frank, my uncle, was a suspect, but who else was involved? I knew Frank alone wouldn't be able to pull that plan and he wasn't a fucking black wolf. I was the only black wolf in the entire regio
ANNABELLA'S POVToday's lunch break was the shortest, at least, that was how I felt. I was really enjoying my time with the girls, but the bell had to go off, and I didn't have a class with any of the girls aside from Wade.' Ahhhh,' Eve growled internally, showing her discomfort, but what was there to do? I was the type to skip class, at least not because of him.When it was time for the last class, I packed my books and headed to the lab. It was the same class I shared with Wade Jackson, the bad-boy player. I didn't know why I was not into biology today, maybe because I was a little bit distracted. I couldn't wait for school to be over.A sigh left my lips as I sat in my usual seat at the corner of the lab, ready to start the last period, which was standing between me and Roman's surprise.What could it be? I didn't know what to expect but I knew Roman wouldn't disappoint me.The teacher entered in no time and started the class. Biology was one of my favorite subjects, so I norm
ANNABELLA'S POVI felt a warm touch on my shoulder as I stood under the shower. But relaxed when I sensed his well-known smell, the smell that wouldn't escape me even in my deepest sleep.” Did you decide to lock me out last night?” He whispered behind my ears as his hand creased my bare shoulder, his cold lips touching my ears.I shut my eyes, the familiar feeling shaking my inside and my stomach crowded with butterflies. Heat pulled up at my bottom and I could feel my legs go weak.” I- I didn't…….”“ You can't talk now?” His hand slipped down to my arm, and I swallowed hard as he forced me to lean my back against him; the warm shower wasn't helping my heated body cool down. “ I wasn't angry to see the door locked last night, but I was when you ran out of my office like you did.” He whispered, and I squeezed my eyes shut, my lips pressed together. ” I don't blame you for locking me out but I.” My eyes pushed open; maybe it was wrong to be angry with him, but why didn't he tell me it
