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 POV‘ Don't let her leave!’ the distant growl made me jot out of my sleep as my eyes stared around the dark room, my heart hammering in my chest, feeling sweat all over my face.It took me a minute to realize it was just a nightmare. A bad nightmare or should I say a reminder of what happened that night perhaps my father's anger?I moved my hair from my face with a tired look in my eyes, I hadn't had a good sleep in a while and it was all because of that night. I shut my eyes for a few seconds before pushing it open and staring up at the ceiling above me. It has been more than a week since the incident with my mother happened but it has been from one nightmare to another. I didn't seem to forget it and it was wearing me off. I tagged my long-colored hair from my face and turned to sit up on the bed. I wish I never killed my mother, the thought of it makes me feel awful about myself. It has been from one nightmare to another since that day and I have a feeling my father,
ANNABELLA'S POV“I will leave you two.” Madeline excused herself back to the kitchen.” “ You have a nice place.” She said as I led her to the dining. I was sure she was staring around.“ You look different.” She said as I sat on the chair that Roman usually takes, the one at the head of the table.I was expecting to hear that but what I wasn't expecting was to see her in the pack especially when she wasn't a part of the Turners pack.” How did you find me?” I never mentioned my pack to her or anyone in the school, not like she ever asked maybe we weren't familiar enough with each other to know that much. I knew Kelly was from the full moon pack which was a few miles away from the Turners pack and on the west side.” I figured it out myself even though it was a bit stressful but it was wealth it.” She said and I stared silently at her for a while.“ Eat your breakfast before it gets cold!” Madeline shouted from the kitchen and I didn't have a choice but to start with the breakfast.” I
ANNABELLA'S POV I couldn't recognize the place the minute I stepped out of the car before the huge building of Rivers, the only werewolf college in the country, Rivers. My eyes stared around in awe as I took careful steps further towards the huge building. Attending such a prestigious school could only be a dream if not Roman, my life changed the minute I stepped into the Turners pack and I guess the earlier I accepted it, the better for both me and Eve. “ Luna, will you be okay?” Mark, one of Roman's men who drove me over asked and I nodded. The night was breezy and I was a bit cold but I was sure I would be fine. What could happen to me? I could even hear the music playing inside plus the different smells that were fighting in the air. “ You can leave, I will be fine.” I turned to face him completely and I could see the hesitant look on his face. I didn't want to bring a driver at first because Kelly promised to pick me up but Madeline insisted I take someone with me e
ANNABELLA'S POV“ He murdered his entire family in one night, can you imagine that?” He said, his eyes staring at me with emotions I could barely make out or explain.” His only family that was left after that night was his uncle but unfortunately the beast killed him too.” I frowned when I heard him address my mate as a beast.There was a few minutes of silence between us.” It was believed that the moon goddess punished him after that.” He said and I finally looked up at him.” What kind of punishment?” I asked, a bit curious.” It has been years since anyone saw him. I guess he has turned into a beast or something worse.” He shrugged and I chuckled. Did he really believe the moon goddess would punish someone by turning them into a beast?Roman wasn't even guilty of anything. He didn't kill his family and I knew it. “ I don't think it's funny because he deserves worse than that.” He said and my wolf pulled forward. My eyes, showing black and my claws, pushing up.I could feel my fangs
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
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?"
