ANNABELLA'S POV

Staying out for a short while seemed to help my nerves and my wolf to calm down. Eve gets all up whenever it is about Roman and I guess she didn't like Wade much.

She was a protective royal wolf.

I stopped in my tracks when I saw the new faces at our table.

Under the dim light I could only recognize Kelly, Florence, and John, I wondered where Kiran and Wade were. Well, my attention was on the new faces, it seemed to me that the old students were showing up at the late hour.

” Hey, Bella over here. “ John waved in my direction with a smile.

“ You almost missed this.” He pointed to the man sitting at Wade's place. His aura was a bit like a high-ranking shifter, maybe a gamma or a beta.“ Nice to meet you, Bella.” He said stretching his hand for a handshake which I took to avoid being rude. Eve didn't want me to shake his hand but I did it anyway.

“ I'm Nathan.” He said with a smile and I wondered if he was John's brother because I heard his brother was the g

    ANNABELLA'S POV This morning I tried Roman's number countless times but his phone was off so I called his gamma who picked up at last and told me Roman was busy at the moment. I wanted to ask where he was but he cut me by saying Roman would be the best person to tell me everything. I jumped and hoped everything was fine though. Madeline didn't seem to know anything either because I heard her talking to someone on the phone and it was like whoever it was was asking after Roman. I could not help wondering what might be going on, was the pack in trouble? I didn't know what to think because this wasn't funny. Last night I didn't get hold of him same with this morning and when I finally did with his gamma he told me nothing. I slammed in my seat beside the dining table.” Good morning dear.” Madeline's voice made me turn my head and when I did I saw her frown. “ You look like you didn't sleep at all.” She asked and yes I didn't. Maybe because I was used to him sleeping besid

    ANNABELLA'S POV “ You guys look very good together.” Kelly commented as we walked side by side towards the school building.” Does it make me a bad friend to say I envy you?” She said and I frowned, turning my gaze to her. “ Having such a powerful alpha at your feet must be very pleasing.” She sounded as if I was the luckiest female alive and indeed I was. Roman might have a terrific reputation but he wasn't who the world believed he was. His past was all a misunderstanding maybe a setup. “ The first time I heard you are the Luna of the Turner pack, I felt scared for you.” She admitted and immediately understood what she meant. It wasn't surprising that she believed him to be the devil the world painted him to be. “ And do you know something?” She stopped at the entrance and held my hand. “ I still feel scared for you. “ She admitted but I shook my head. “ You don't have to be. Roman is the last person who would ever hurt me.” I turned back and his car was parked by the roa

    ALPHA ROMAN'S POV For years I have punished myself and my wolf for something likely not our fault. The fact that none of us recalled what exactly happened that night made me believe the nonsense everyone else believed. I took the blame for their death and let myself wander in the shadows because of the guilt that was weighing inside me. I cut myself out of the world as punishment at a young age and I almost lost everything to my uncle, including my life. The world still blamed me for my uncle's death after his betrayal. This made the world fear me even more but that didn't bother me like the death of my father did. The world painted me black and blamed me for the death of my family and I hated myself for it even though I never showed my emotions. I couldn't get why Xade or I would attack my father but now the story has changed. Nothing was clear yet but what I had found was enough to raise questions in my mind and make me doubt what I already knew as the truth. It seemed

    ANNABELLA'S POV “ Hey princess, are you ready to leave?” I looked up to see Wade standing by the door with his hand crossed on his chest. The bell went off barely two seconds ago, and here he was; I saw the teacher sigh before he walked out of the class. “ Who is he calling?” Someone whispered from behind.”Florence, are you not going, it seems Wade is here to get you.” I heard it from my side and I couldn't help but shake my head. “ I'll leave you then.” She said, loud enough for the rest of the class to hear. I couldn't believe she would still run after someone like Wade. Weren't I lucky to have a mate like Roman? Well, I was lucky indeed. Think of it: Roman was good-looking and despite having all the good qualities, he never slept around. The more I think about him, the more I miss him, his smell, his presence, and mostly his touch. He might be years older than me, but that couldn't erase the fact that he was the best thing that could ever happen to me. “ Can you l

    ANNABELLA'S POVKelly was given a room in the main pack house where the unmated pack members mostly stayed the weekend. We were only a few floors apart, or maybe more since the alpha wing was on the top floor and the other side of the building. But aside from the different locations and floors, we were practically living in the same building.She wasn't in the best state, but I didn't want her to feel uncomfortable, so I left her room to give her space. She still hasn't told me what was going on with her but I hope she will calm down by morning.She kept saying she was fine, but I knew she was only saying that to stop me from worrying; it was more like her. As much as I wanted to stay by her side, I couldn't force myself into her space, I guess she needed time for herself.“ She is resting,” I said as I approached him on the balcony; he was holding a smoke, which he threw off the ground and turned to face me.His dark blue eyes stared at me for a few more seconds before he parted his

    ANNABELLA'S POV“ How long have you and Roman been together?” Juliet suddenly asked. “ Months,” I replied, shoving food into my mouth. I was happy that she was finally coming around. I didn't know what she went through in the green mountains but I hoped she could forget and start living her life here again. I knew green mountains even though I wasn't familiar with them. It was quite a place if you ask me, I wouldn't dream of being a free wolf.” That isn't a long time.” She murmured under her breath and I lifted my eyes to look at her with a frown.It wasn't much time like she said, but it was enough for me to know what I know now. Roman was simply the best and I wouldn't trade him for anything in this world.” But it's enough to know him, right?” She lifted her eyes to meet mine. “ I will assume you know him well enough.” She added in a doubtful tone.“ I want to make something nice for him, what do you think he would like to eat?” She asked, and I turned my head to look at Madeline,

    ALPHA ROMAN'S POVWhen Vincent told me about the alpha king's sudden visit, I immediately ordered him to retrace alpha Christopher's movement for the past days.” Okay, I will make the call.” He replied and I stepped out of the house with both my beta and gamma. I have learned to tolerate Zack's concern for my mate, but I am not sure how long.“ Roman, what do you think he is here for?” Zack asked, but I didn't open my mouth and only watched as he stepped down from his car. The last time he came here was when my father died, the exact day I was framed for my family's murder.“ The Turners pack looks better than the last time I was here. It can see alpha Roman is doing a good job.” He halted a few steps away with his beta and a few of his warriors who were standing beside the car. His eyes stared around for a while before they stabilized."It's a pleasure to stop by."“ I don't remember inviting you here,” I said plainly and he laughed it off.

Where the hell was she taking this to? Wasn't talking to Xade the same as talking to Roman? It was going to be embarrassing.’ Come on, girl, wake up; he is your mate, and remember he is the only one who can make you feel this good.’ I growled internally as I realized she wasn't going to stop.“ Where is she?” Roman's voice pulled me out of my thoughts and I immediately recognized the hospital building.” She is in her ward. The doctor recommended she rest for a while, and also, it seems her memor

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

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.

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

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
