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
ANNABELLA'S POV I flipped my eyes when I heard the sound of the opening door.” Your mother told me you haven't eaten anything.” Did he even care? Why did that even matter? " Come on, it's your favorite, your mother made it for you," I didn't know he remembered my favorite food. “ Where is Zion?” I asked and he sighed. “ Not now, just eat your food.” He said. " You haven't done anything to him, have you?" I didn't want anything to happen to him, at least not because of me. “ Leave it there.” He ordered the omega and she walked over and placed the tray on the bed. I still have no idea why I was locked up in this room, and why they didn't want me to contact Roman. “ What do you want with me?” I didn't know how to put it. I was still confused as to what happened. Everything happened so fast that I didn't even get to process the whole thing. No one was telling me anything. Everyone was behaving weirdly and telling me to calm down. “ Whatever money I collected from Alpha Roma
ANNABELLA'S POV“ You better make up your mind, the alphaship of this pack will not be transferred to another family.” His stern tone made me hold my breath, I shut my eyes to calm my beating chest. This couldn't be happening to me, no it couldn't be happening. I wanted it to be a dream but unfortunately, it wasn't. My father was manipulating my life again without considering what I wanted.“ Does that mean you are ready to do anything?” I whispered, flipping my eyes open. Even though I knew the answer I still asked.My expression was calm but very painful.“ I will do anything to make that doesn't happen.” He said and I bit my bottom lip in disappointment, he has always been that kind of man. His title and pack meant a lot to him. Maybe his family just that I didn't matter that much to him." What about my happiness, are you going to always force me to your bidden?" I felt like I knew the answer to this as well." You can't be happy without any of this, this pack was handed to me by
ANNABELLA'S POV‘ I don't want to run.’ Eve said and I frowned. Was she going to let herself be caught? ‘You can't make a stop.’ I told her and she stopped, turning her head back to look.’ We stand and fight.’ she said and I growled at her, opposing the idea.’ There are a lot of them, Eve.’ I said in fear, I was sure my father wouldn't let us go. Not after what happened, if we get caught, it would be the end of us. Alpha Christopher, the man I knew wouldn't let us live a second more. I was afraid he might lock us in the dungeon this time.’ I can take them down.’ she said but I wasn't sure if I wanted to see that. She might be able to do that but I didn't want to know more than I have. We have come a long way to let them get us.’ I think it better we run for dear life.’ I said pleadingly and Eve growled before starting to run.The night breeze was cold, I could feel it brushing through Eve's golden fur as she ran through the dark woods. Her fierce step resounded in the air with her lo
ALPHA ROMAN'S POV“ Roman” Her body started shaking as she whispered my name, fear dangling in her eyes as she stared at me and her beautiful green eyes clouded with tears I didn't know what happened but I planned to visit the man and have him explain to me why his warriors were chasing after my mate in the middle of the night but it seemed I didn't have to anymore since he was here himself.“ Please, don't let him take me?” She pleaded and I stood up from my seat and pulled her in my arms. “ What did he do to you?” by this time my eyes had already turned colder, maybe it was time the shadow pack disappeared from the chart. Alpha Christopher was biting more than he could chew and I wouldn't condole it especially when it has to do with my mate. ‘ What do you think, Xade?’ I linked my wolf and he growled in agreement. He had never liked Alpha Christopher anyway.“ Don't let him take me.” I turned my gaze on her and I didn't like how scared she was. “ Roman” Vincent called but I didn
ANNABELLA'S POVI leaned on the sink after rinsing my mouth. 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
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
