ANNABELLA'S POVInstead of Madeline, it was Roman in the kitchen!What was he doing?‘ making you breakfast.’ Eve teased and I bit on my bottom lip as I stopped on the stairs in my short night dress. It was a white kneel-level nylon dress with a tiny arm that barely covered anything.“ You are up early.” I was about to tiptoe back to my room when he spoke, his voice was deep but clear. I didn't have school and I was up early, it was weird and I was equally surprised. " did you sleep well?" he asked, and I replied. Sometimes I hated the shifter world. Nothing could be reversed, he always smelt me before I could think of making a run. “ I'm testy,” I murmured, sticking my bottom lip in my mouth with my hand resting on the rail.He washed his hands and strode to the shelf where he grabbed a glass before going to the freezer to get a bottle of water.” Here.” He said, his eyes staring in my direction. I didn't miss him staring at me from bottom to top with narrowed eyes. I wasn't used to
ALPHA ROMAN'S POV“ There was someone else in the mansion that night?” Vincent was shocked just like I was when I first found out.I wasn't the only black wolf in the mansion that night. I had no idea what this meant but it was obvious my father's death wasn't one I could take the blame for. It seemed there was more to their death and Frank was a suspect.But the frank I knew wouldn't do it alone.“ Do you think Frank had something to do with it?” That was exactly what I have been thinking since we left the old mansion and if Frank indeed knew something about that night then he was certainly not alone in it.” Are you thinking what I'm thinking?” Vincent asked and I chuckled. “ I can't believe you are this calm after finding out you are not the one who killed your father.” I didn't know how to react to this either, I was only calmer from the outside. Deep down I wanted to know who that black wolf was but that would mean putting Bella in danger.“ It seems my father's death was a conspi
ALPHA ROMAN'S POV “ It seems they are not leaving anytime soon,” Zackery said from beside me and I felt like he wasn't lying. Their present hasn't coursed us any harm, at least not yet,“ Why do you think they are here?” Zackery asked and I wished I had answers. Something about them raised questions, even though they appeared dangerous from the outside, they seemed harmless per their movement. They seemed aware of what they were doing. “ Do you think they can attack any moment from now?” I have no answers to that as well, “ We can't let our guards down. They don't look friendly to me.” I told him and until we figure out what was happening, we couldn't afford any guesses.” What are we going to do now?”“ Keep the pack safe,” I said coldly, my gaze stuck to their weird movement. They were on guard as if guarding a treasure. I had been standing and watching them for hours but none of them looked my way, they seemed concentrated on their movement. Two of them have dominated the southern
ANNABELLA'S POVI felt like I had been away for a long time, everything just felt weird and distant, my eyes ran around the room as the pack doctor examined my body. “ Do you feel pain anywhere?” She asked and I shook my head.“ Well, that is good to hear.” She placed her hand on my forehead before standing straight on her back." No sick feelings?" I nodded to that too, not like I was a fan of hers. I wished she had an idea of how much I wanted to take off her eyes. “ You should have a rest.” She suggested and was about to leave when the door busted open. “ Bella?” Shock and excitement mixed as he almost ran to my bedside “ You are okay?” I didn't know how but he was suddenly beside me and hanging me tightly. I didn't hate it, especially at the presence of the beautiful sexy pack doctor, at least she now knows who he belong to. “ Did you think I will die?” I asked, surprised at my question. “ Do you badly want to leave me?” He asked and I shook my head, biting my lips. “ Whether
ANNABELLA'S POV“ Have some of these.” Roman's deep cold voice broke the awkward silence and I stared up at Madeline who came to drop a bottle of wine. “ The alpha is right, you should have some of these, I prepared them because I knew you like them.” she smiled and my eyes shifted to Roman who was looking back at me. I didn't seem to get enough of his striking futures maybe I was this attracted to him because of the mate bond or maybe not. “ You are blushing.” He raised a brow and I immediately stared away to hide my face. I hope Madeline did t hear that.“ I supposed you didn't like the dress I left for you?” Madeline came back with two glasses and my gaze went to Roman. “ I will choose something else next time,” she said casually and I shook my head “ No, you didn't do anything wrong it's just that..” “ You are more comfortable in Alpha Roman's dress? I get it “My face turned bright red. Not long ago she gave me that look and now she was saying this…Ahh!Maybe I shouldn't have w
ANNABELLA'S POV“ Welcome back.” My father, alpha Christopher welcomed me with a warm hug as I stepped down from the car after Zion, one of Roman's men opened the door for me. “ Thank you,” I said as my eyes ran around the pack. It has been months since I left but everything seemed the same. It was weird to be back here after a lot of weeks but I was glad I was here. After all, this was my home and where my life started. I sighed with a look on my face when I recalled Roman's protest. I wouldn't be here if I had listened to him, well, I knew he would be calm by the time I returned.“ Let's take you inside.” My father said and I nodded with a small smile. I didn't know what exactly was going on but I hope my mom wasn't badly ill.“ Go to room room and rest while the omegas prepare lunch.” My father said and before I could ask him about my mom, he left the house, leaving the the shut behind him.“ Luna Bella, I will be outside if you need anything,” Zion said and I nodded. Even though
ANNABELLA'S POV“ Is everything okay?” My mom asked and I nodded with a smile as I took my seat. Eating in silence didn't seem to be enough because Olivia had to open her big mouth. “ How is it going between you and Alpha Roman, the beast alpha?” she whispered the last part sarcastically and shrugged a glared at her with a cold look.“ He is good.” I shoved food into my mouth without realizing the look on my father's face. “ No way, don't tell me you are in love with the beast!” Olivia exclaimed and I raised a brow. “ Why not?” Was she expecting me to be holding onto Summer like he was some diamond? Well, news flash, I was more than in love with Roman because we were made for each other.” Are you really in love with him?” She asked but I didn't see the need to answer her. “ Has he been treating you well?” My father finally asked and I bit on my lips. He was the last person to care. “ Does it matter?” I asked, raising my head to look up at him. He didn't care when he gave me away so
ANNABELLA'S POV“ What do you mean by, she is fine?” My father asked the pack doctor. None of us understood what he was saying. “ Just like I have just told you, Luna is fine.” He repeated the same words he said earlier and Olivia and I stared at each other. Olivia and I have been a bit okay with each other since I arrived. Her bitchy attitude towards me has slid down not like she was the nicest sister but I would prefer this side of hers over the old Olivia who hated my guts.“ Luna's not sick as before, in fact, she is healed and we can't detect any trace of sickness in her.” I could tell everyone in the room was shocked, including my mother herself. “ This is the check result.” He handed the result to my father. How was that possible? A few days ago she was diagnosed with a serious heart disease that her wolf couldn't even stand and now she was cured?“ How is that possible?” My father asked and the doctor sighed. “That is what I want to find out,” I could see the frown on my fat
ALPHA ROMAN'S POV“ I was able to track Juliet, and she lives among the humans; I followed her and discovered a few more things about her. Everything you need to know is in this file, I also found out about…” I raised my hand to stop him from saying more. It was enough that the matter with Juliet was partially resolved. I needed to settle it once, and for all; Juliet might be my step-sister, but there was a limit to everything. Trying to mislead my mate and getting her to believe that we had something going on was the height of it. I wouldn't have her mislead her. Bella misunderstood my intentions and mistook my care for something else. She got everything wrong and anticipated it wrongly.If anything, Juliet was just a step-sister, and I felt a responsibility towards her, her mother's death, and her sudden disappearance.I thought I could repay her for the lost time and, at the same time, honor my father's words, but I doubt I could continue at the expense of my bond with my mate.
ANNABELLA'S POVWaking up in his tight embrace was the best thing I could ever dream of, his warm body against mine and his face an inch away. I raised my hand to push his hair back a little to get a proper view of his face. Everything felt great, having him beside me and having to look at him like this for the rest of my life. My hand slightly blushed against the smooth skin on his forehead.Even though his eyes were closed, he still looked as domineering as ever. Even in his sleep, he still exudes that cold and powerful aura. I suddenly recalled how soft his hair was and couldn't help but run my fingers through it.“ Good morning.” His deep hoarse voice poured as he moved my hand to his face and placed a kiss in my palm. ” You are awake.” I felt like he had been pretending to be asleep; his face looked the same as before. Not even sleep could change his handsome face but I felt his voice sounded more desiring than before. Was he sleeping?His dark blue eyes stared back silently at
ANNABELLA'S POV The car halted the moment I flipped my eyes open. I scanned around and realized we were back to the pack, and it was already morning. ” Good morning.” I tried to pull up a bit in my seat but froze when I heard the familiar voice whisper. I let myself relax when I saw the two excitement lingering in his dark blue eyes. I didn't know what I was expecting, but seeing his handsome face early in the morning beside me made me feel at ease. I nearly thought last night was a mere dream but it turned out to be true. I was really with him, Roman and I spent the night together in his car. My eyes watered, realizing how much I had been craving him. How much I have missed him the past few days. Taking a closer look at him, he was the same as before, but I think he was much more handsome than before. His eyelashes seemed longer, and his eyes appeared a bit brighter. Staring at his disheveled short white hair, I wish I could run my hand through it. I wondered how it woul
ALPHA ROMAN'S POVI was waiting for Zack to bring my car so I could go pick up the medication the pack ordered; the warriors needed to be treated as soon as possible to avoid complications; some had serious injuries, while others had to deal with just a little bruise that wasn't healing. Zack offered to go get it, but I dismissed him. I needed to clear my head, and maybe a little time for myself; the long drive might help me calm down.I didn't know how else I was going to make her believe me; she wanted to go rogue, like what the fuck!“ Alpha Roman.” Carolina walked down from the hospital building; I was standing beside Zack's faulty car, waiting for him to bring mine.” I heard you are driving to the city; I was wondering if I could join you. I needed to pick a few bandages for the hospital “ “ Write everything down and hand it to me, I will get them,” I replied, my face was cold as usual. “ I don't mean to question you but….” He paused, my intense gaze shifting to her.” I don't h
ANNABELLA'S POVI rubbed my hand on my flat belly, a look of confusion appearing in my eyes as I tried to understand what he said.I was pregnant? A part of me felt it too.And I felt he wasn't lying. Besides, Roman has never lied to me. I stared down at his phone which was still displaying the video from the restaurant. “ You are awake.” The door pushed open, and I frowned, seeing Madeline walk in. She was holding a tray of soup and wearing this happy face that I had barely seen her with. “ You need to eat something, don't starve yourself.” She placed the tray beside me on the bed, my hand still running my stomach in disbelief. I was pregnant and the father was Roman!I didn't know what Roman, being the father, had got on me, but I felt weird inside. “ You knew?” I sighed immediately, I asked, forgetting how much she follows every one of Roman's rules.“It was never my place to disclose anything to you, dear. Please don't be mad at him.” her eyes stared pleadingly at me." I'm t
ALPHA ROMAN'S POV“ Her fainting is a result of an emotional breakdown, but she is fine now. It's normal to get emotional considering her situation.” My eyes stared at her emotionless body. “ How long is she going to beout?” “ She needs to have a good rest. In most cases, it takes hours, but considering who she is, I can't tell.” The pack's head doctor said and I immediately understood. Bella has a strong wolf and it was likely she would be conscious at any moment.” I will head back to the hospital and help take care of the injured warriors. I hope Luna recovers soon.” He bowed and then headed out. I stepped closer to move the strand of hair from her face, she looked too pale for someone who was okay. Fuck!I forgot to ask the doctor about the pregnancy.I pulled out my phone and dialed Vincent's number since I couldn't reach him through the kind link, which was a result of the recent disruption.” Find out how Bella's pregnancy is doing.” I ordered, “ Did something happen?" Vince
ANNABELLA'S POV “ How about we have lunch?” “ What do you think Bella?” I pulled my gaze from the window with less interest.” We are planning to have lunch on our way, do you want to join us? This restaurant is owned by Caleb,” Dalia said proudly, and I immediately shook my head, not interested.” I don't feel like having anything.” “ Are you okay?” Caleb asked, even though his voice was a bit cold but the words blended very well with it. “ What are you saying? She replied, and I immediately sensed her jealousy. What a child's play! I went back to staring out the window. It has been a long since I came out, but I wasn't feeling any happiness. It was Sage's idea I ride with Caleb because the driver who brought me was his driver and he had something to take care of. The car took a turn and halted in front of a fancy building. ‘ Humans.’ Eve's bored voice made me roll my eyes. I wasn't sure what I was thinking when I took Callicious’ offer seriously, but it wouldn't hurt
ANNABELLA'S POV My eyes stuck out the window as the car drove on the road. Feeling the fresh air swept across my face, I felt like I had spent the longest time behind closed doors. The demon world was nothing like ours; while we lived close to nature and a bit away from humans, they lived in a hidden where almost everything was made accessible, not far from humans, though. The car halted in front of a huge building, and as I stepped down from the car, I let my eyes run around the place. It was quiet, and the walls were lifted with white paint. The surroundings made me wonder if it was a church, but it was too big for a church. “ Where is this place?” I asked the male demon who drove me down here. “ The elders are inside, lady Bella.” He kept his head down and addressed me the way everyone else did. I raised a brow; my eyes stared around for a while before starting towards the entrance, curious to know what this was about. ‘ Demons, ‘ Eve growled, and I rolled my eyes; what did I
MADELINE'S POV I could see the pique of her curiosity. Every question she asked, I have answers but I couldn't disclose anything because it wasn't in my place to tell her. Watching her struggle wasn't easy for me. Bella was like a daughter to me. She was the one who elevated Roman from his darkness and I loved her. Lying to her wasn't what I intended but Roman didn't want her knowing everything. Initially, he was worried that she would leave him once she found out about her demon part, but now the alpha was scared she would put herself in danger if she found out the pack was going on a battle with the alpha king for her sake. Bella was a sweet girl, but she wasn't fortunate enough. Life as a golden wolf was something else; she was practically the most powerful wolf alive. In a world where power and strength determined one position, what did you think was bound to happen? As of now, I wasn't sure if she was safe anymore because Roman had enemies everywhere. The demon ki
