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

I tried telling her I didn't sleep early last night but she wasn't listening or maybe I wasn't saying the words out loud. I didn't know how but the knocking faded in no time and I was finally having my peaceful sleep but it didn't last like I thought because Madeline went for a spare key and by the time I knew it she was staring beside the huge bed pulling the bed cover off my body. “ You scared me, dear” “ I thought something bad had happened to you” she sighed when I didn't open my eyes. “ Alpha Roman will be ready soon. Come on, let's get you ready. '' My eyes flipped open. Was I becoming too attached to his name too? “ Yes, alpha Roman is coming to get you in thirty minutes” she explained and I stepped down from the bed in seconds pushing my feet inside my slippers before running inside the bathroom. “ Take it easy, dear” I heard Madeline shout from behind but I was alrea

    ALPHA ROMAN'S POV “You are going to keep me as your second woman?” I frowned and she bit on her bottom lip, something she does out of habit. Did she say that to keep her as my other woman? Does this have to do with the reason she has been avoiding me and warming up to my fucking warriors? Fuck Bella! Did she mean that? “ Y–you already have a…” A knock on the glass distracted us and when I stared at my side I noticed the royal guards who immediately bowed their heads.” Sign them when you are ready” I stepped from the car and adjusted my jacket expecting her to do the same. “ Alpha….” I walked by the guard towards the building. ‘ I get angry when you stare at others like that ‘ I spoke in the mindlink and she immediately turned her head, probably shocked that I could link her. I made her a part of my pack without asking her which I knew wasn't far enough but I wasn't ready to let her go no matter what. “ Alpha Roman?” I knew my present was the last thing he needed; neither did

    ANNABELLA'S POV Dinner with Alpha Abraham was good until the tension between him and Roman became noticeable. The two seem to know each other more than it meets the eyes and I wondered what the beef between them was about. Each word that slips out of Alpha Abraham's mouth is accompanied by sarcasm and his smile follows. Some of the things he said were only in my ears and I have no understanding of them. He was too cunning and sarcastic for his age, even though he wasn't all that old. Anyone who didn't know the alpha king would think he was younger and I guess that was because of the wolf blood that runs through his veins. It has been like this for centuries, alpha stops aching once they reach a certain stage so were most shifters. I stared at my side at Roman who looked like he was just eighteen.“ I hope this won't be the last time I would have dinner with you, alpha Roman?'' Alpha Abraham said with a smile before averting his gaze from Roman to myself, he was such a stran

    ALPHA ROMAN'S POVWhat the fuck!“ I will leave the pack as soon as possible and never show up in front of you.” A low growl fucking slipped out of my mouth as I watched my mate cry asking me to reject her. I didn't know what was going on with her but I wasn't going to reject her. No matter what happens, rejecting her would never be an option. She was my fucking mate, for goddess' sake; what was she thinking? How the fuck did she expect me to reject her? Did she want to leave me?My wolf, Xade, growled in my head, showing his disapproval.I desperately wanted to hold her in my arms and pull her into my chest. My hand fisted at my side as I found them useless. My eyes gaze at her with emotions flipping in my eyes.She was the only person that made me feel weak and strong at the same time. Her tears were making me hate everything around me including myself. “ Bella….” “ You don't have to explain anything; I get it. Just reject me.” She insisted, her head down as she was avoiding my

A loud sigh left my lips as I stared at myself in the mirror.What was I doing to myself?I should be out of his pack by now, I mean not after what I just found out. 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. Finding out the man I was fated to be mated to left me in so much pain, I felt broken and lied to.Living with her as his step-sister when in actual circumstances, she was his mate.I blinked a few times to hold back my tears. I stared at myself one last time before walking out of the bathroom.Roman was already gone, the table was empty and the waitress was gathering the plates. “ Excuse me…” my lips hung open when I saw him leaning against his car with both his hands caged in his pocket.” Sorry, thank you.” I said to the waitress I just interrupted and headed out of the restaurant.“ Are you okay?” He pulled the car for me, and I nodded my h

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,

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
