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“ Everything okay?” Vincent asked as he halted beside me.” How did it go?” I asked, handing his phone back.” The deal has been signed.” I nodded and started towards the packing space to get the fuck out of the blood moon pack. I wasn't sure what the problem was but seeing the line suddenly go off put me in a difficult situation.“ Roman” Vincent called after me but I didn't stop.“ Alpha George wants to have dinner with you. He has arranged everything,” Vincent said and I turned to stare back at the alpha building which was behind us. I could see Alpha George standing on the balcony looking at us.” He wanted to thank you for renewing the alliance that exists between the two packs.” Vincent explained and I couldn't help but fucking sign.” Send someone to check on Bella.” I ordered before turning back. I wish this dinner thing wasn't in the picture so I could go and check on my mate but I have to do this, at least for the pack. “ On it.” Vincent said.“ Welcome back alph
SUMMER'S POV“ What is your next plan?” Did he mean the next step to take?“ Claim my fated mate.” I replied with no hesitation besides, that has been the end result since the beginning.“ What about Olivia?” he asked as if she ever meant something to me.” I mean you and Olivia are wedded and married, it won't be easy to get rid of her especially when her father still supports her.” I turned to face my father who has been confined in a wheelchair for the past years.His loyalty to alpha Christopher earned him nothing aside from being crippled.“ Alpha Christopher won't be able to stop me from reuniting with my fated mate." That was a promise.Eight years ago I was forced to take the beta duty from my father at a young age after my father who was the beta of the shadow pack and the best friend of alpha Christopher became crippled after risking his life to save him during a rogue attack. During all those years I served the pack with diligence and honesty. I did everything within my power
ANNABELLA'S POV“ What are you doing?” I asked the minute my eyes pushed open and I pulled away from him. He let out a sigh as he pulled his hand away from my face, straightened his back, and took a step back from the bed.” Good morning.” “ Why are you here?” I asked, and a slight chuckle pulled out of his mouth. A frown settled on my face as my eyes scanned the unfamiliar room. It wasn't a dream; my father has indeed kidnapped me with the intention of making me Summer's mate or, should I say, his baby-making machine?” You can't keep me here, Roman will find me.” I said and he shook his head, his eyes looking back at me. “ Alpha Roman is already searching for you, but I doubt he will find you.” a stupid smile spread on his face, and there was nothing I wanted more than to give him a stupid punch man's face. “ You don't want to know how this will end,” I threatened, and he started laughing.” Believe me, I am more than interested in knowing how this will end.” He sounded different fro
ALPHA ROMAN'S POV“ Who did she say she was hanging out with?” I asked Madeline as I pulled the phone from my ear. It was the hundredth time I was calling her number but I still couldn't get through.What couldn't possibly have happened?“ She wasn't specific, she only said she was hanging out with her friends and she will be having lunch out. Madeline explained. That was exactly what I wanted to believe but something wasn't right. “ Why is her phone fucking off!” Frustration piqued in and I ran my fingers through my hair.” Get Zion to check the full moon pack, I need a reply in twenty minutes.” I instructed and Vincent nodded. “ Get someone to trace her cell phone. Find out who she was hanging out with.” I ordered everything in one breath. “ Maybe her phone is off.” Madeline said and I lifted my head to look at her, I could see she was equally worried and I wished what she was saying was true but I couldn't ignore the thought lingering in my head. Why wasn't Xade able to connect wi
ANNABELLA'S POVI growled painfully as I slowly lifted my head. My view was blurred, but after blinking for a few minutes, I slowly regained my sight. I could feel my head banging but the unfamiliar space caught my attention. As my gaze ran around the space, I finally was able to feel the soft mattress underneath me. I felt my movement restricted when I tried to move my hand only to realize my wrists were tied together, so easy legs.The severe headache I was feeling wasn't allowing me to think or understand what was going on.”Ahh.” I let out a growl as I tried to move even though it felt impossible.Was I kidnapped?I tried to recall, but the only thing I remembered was meeting up with Kelly at one of the human restaurants close to the pack because I didn't want Roman to get worried about me. And then leaving the restaurant with Kelly right after a few hours of chatting.I gulped when the last image of me stepping out of the restaurant with Kelly flashed into my memory. I suddenly f
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 m
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
