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

    26 ANNABELLA'S POV He ditched me right in front of her and after waiting for him for hours he let Vincent drive me back. I stepped into the quiet clean kitchen and pulled the freezer open for a bottle of water. I wasn't in the best mood, last night's incident was a huge blow to my chest. And where was Madeline? I walked back from the kitchen to the dinner table. I took a sip of the water before dropping it on the table. I wasn't feeling great but the best thing was I was poking my lungs out. I was a bit okay on that part and I think I would be after a few rest. I just wasn't prepared to be shoved away like that but I guess that was my fate. That was how it has been from the onset since I could remember. Everyone was eventually going to get tired of me and leave me. What better fate awaits a wolf-less and rejected she-wolf like me? “ I guess it's harder this time” I took another sip before slamming it on the table and getting up to leave only to hear the door click o

    27 ANNABELLA'S POV I didn't know what was happening to me as I was practically avoiding everyone including Madeline. I didn't know what I was running away from but it felt like I was running from something even though I wasn't ready to admit it. I thought being alone from everyone else and everything especially Roman would help me think straight and figure things out but obviously, that was messing up with my head. The huge room was the only place I could be without seeing his face yet a part of me was craving to see him though I couldn't doubt seeing him would make me any bad. It has been more than a day since I stepped out into the open or came across him. I guess he was too busy with her to even care or notice my absence. After all, I was just someone he bought with money. I was nothing more than a baby-making machine for him. The image of him telling me I was free from the agreement reflected the one when I saw the sheet in the bin and my entire demeanor changed. He was se

    28 ANNABELLA'S POV I stared in shock when the door pulled open as if I knew who it was. I kept my eyes on him until he was inches away from me. I didn't know how but I felt like hugging him so tight and not letting him go back to that female. Thinking about him having a mate hurt my chest, I wasn't yet sure what this was about. I bit on my lip to control the stupid urge that was making me restless and having stupid thoughts. I didn't know why I was so attached to him in such a way when I knew fully well he had his mate with him. What was wrong with me? I frowned when he placed the tray in his hand on the bed beside me. I sniffed the delicious aroma of the food and couldn't believe he went through the trouble to make something for me in the middle of the night. What was he trying to achieve, I mean he already has a mate. I met his eyes and I felt as if there were hidden emotions in them. His behavior didn't correspond to the rumors I heard before coming over. Ruthless

    ANNABELLA'S POV“ Lord Sage.” A voice interrupted, and we both turned our heads. It was a man with a bold head, and he immediately knelt before Sage with his head down. “ Speak.” He ordered and the man lifted his head slightly but not daring to look up. ” The traitor that has been walking in our territory and leaking information to the outside has been found.” He informed him, and I could sense Sage's whole dominae changing.“ I'm sorry this beautiful moment has to be cut short. I hope this won't be the last.” He smiled at me before walking off with the man and disappearing through one of the doors.I sighed as I turned to look at the river that was flowing its banks and was adorned with green plants.‘ Do you think Roman brought us here to protect us?’ I asked Eve; I didn't know what to think anymore because nothing was making sense from my perspective. Why would I wake up in a demon territory all by myself?What was Roman protecting me from? It was hard to make the right guess, I

    ANNABELLA'S POVThree days in the demon territory wasn't enough to make me feel comfortable. Trusting them was out of the picture because I knew I was only alive because Roman brought me here; I could tell how Sage, the demon lord, valued his words to Roman.I still found it hard to breathe around them, so I preferred staying inside; I had never been this confused in my life, but I guess I had to live with it since no one was saying anything.At least I had the right to know what was going on, but who was I going to ask when my mate didn't deem it fit to tell me anything?Roman didn't leave me here, did he? I was trying to understand why he did that to me. Was it because of how I reacted back in the car, did he get the wrong idea?I wouldn't blame him if he thought I didn't want to carry his pups. I would want to carry his pup and have him to myself, sharing him with another was what scars me.Juliet!I couldn't stop thinking of her and her advances towards Roman. What was going to h

    ANNABELLA'S POV “ So you mean I'm in a demon territory?” Madeline nodded hesitantly and I stared ahead at the two identical demons standing by the door. Confusion burned in my eyes as I wondered what was going on.” Roman didn't bring me here, did he?” “ The alpha is in the best position to explain everything to you.” She said and I nodded, trying so hard to stop myself from shedding a tear. At this point, the only question ringing in my head was, why did Roman bring me here? Demons and werewolves have nothing in common. These creatures have been our enemies for ages and he left me here for what exactly? “ I don't want to eat anything.” my voice was barely a whisper as I stood on my feet and walked over to the fixed window that gives a view of the outside world. But the ground level was deeper and it felt like I was living in the sky. “ Don't worry, lord Sage will never do anything to hurt alpha Roman.” I turned from the window with my hands crossed over my chest. “ Does

    ALPHA ROMAN'S POV“Have the missing pups been found?” I asked Vincent as we strode towards my office building.Three pups could go missing in a day was suspicious that was why someone fucking owes me an explanation.” They were found dead in the woods.” I clenched my jaw as we walked along the pathway that led to my office door. Two warriors stopped and greeted me which I nodded to. “ The course of their death isn't confirmed yet but it's definitely a murder case,” he added as we stepped into my office. If what I was thinking was correct then this wouldn't be the end. Abraham would push all my bottoms to make sure I hand over my mate to him and his tyrants. The murder of three pups was the fucking start.I knew I had to do something before everything ran south, but I didn't intend to go into battle with the royal pack. Many of my warriors were mated with pups; there should be another way out of this that didn't have to be me handing over my mate to them. I used to enjoy the quick m

A decision to take her out of the pack and away from the pack from everything that could put her in danger.I knew a day like this was meant to come but I couldn't cage my fear. The whole alpha council was after her; they claimed her existence meant danger to the werewolf species. They used what she did with her mother to judge her. They said she was no different from the other royal wolves that appeared but she was.None of the royal wolves that existed had a fated mate but Bella's has. It was Vincent's idea for me to show up at the meeting after I was called by the alpha king. And the result was exactly what I didn't want. The council of Elders, together with the fucking alpha king wanted Bella executed as soon as possible. And they expected me to fucking hand her over to them because she was what they considered as dangerous. Royal wolves were indeed dangerous but they did forget

I turned on my side and pulled the sheet up to cover my head, but that wasn't enough to send me back to sleep even though I tried to go back to my beautiful sleep until the sweet smell of cigarettes hit me.

Wasn't that enough reason for me to leave for good? I pushed my hair back and let out a breath; I was confused myself.
