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. Alpha Abraham and I have never been on goo
ANNABELLA'S POVWe almost had sex in his office!The thought makes my inside tremble and, at the same time, makes me happy as I can still feel his touch on my skin. ‘ I wonder what sex in his office will be like.’ Eve added to my stress, and I rolled my eyes at her dirty words. ‘ Don't be disappointed; you can always ask him for a payback.’ she giggled, and I couldn't help but chuckle. ‘ Or I can just talk to Xade…’ ‘ Don't dream about it.’ I growled at her before she could finish her words. 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
ANNABELLA'S POV“ Ah, I will go back to my room. Thanks for the cookies, Madeline.” Kelly said with a bright smile as she walked out of the room with a plate of freshly baked cookies. I was aware of how much she loved sweets but didn't know she could be addicted to Madeline's cookies.Well, I should have known since Madeline was a good cook.I squeezed my phone in my hand nervously when he approached me with his predatory steps and his cold yet soft gaze.” Are you okay?” He asked as his hand moved up to push a strand of my hair from my face. The flesh of his finger slightly blushed my forehead, igniting the fire and the sparks that usually settled on my skin whenever he touched me. I could barely breathe without inhaling his intoxicated scent, and I loved it, and so was my wolf.“ Are you?” I stepped closer, my face lifted and my eyes staring back into his. I used to cower away whenever he stared at me with those mysterious eyes, not understanding why I felt a blush and butterflies a
ANNABELLA'S POV“ Where is Roman?” I asked as I stared around the huge room I was well familiar with.” You fainted.” Kelly's voice pulled me out of my search, and I turned my head to my left, where I saw her sitting beside the bed.” Are you okay?” she asked with a worried expression, and I nodded, swallowing the knot in my throat. I caught feeling the dryness of my throat and the sting of pain that came after.“ You should rest for now,” Kelly advised but I wasn't going to go back to sleep. " What are you up to?" Kelly tried to scold me as I pushed my legs out of the bed cover and set them on the clean marble floor." Bella, don't you think you are going a bit too far?" I could imagine the frown on her face but I didn't barge. Not as if I was sick or something; it was just a flash of her memories, her life, including all the stuff she went through for the past years. I couldn't believe I had to see all that just by touching her. ‘ Sorry for putting you through that.’ Eve's guilty t
ANNABELLA'S POVKelly was picked up by her sister on Sunday evening, who turned out to be the female Roman saved on the highway on the night of the heavy storm, and the surprising thing was she didn't seem to be over Roman. I didn't know how I knew she liked him but I was sure she did.She didn't look happy when Kelly introduced me as Roman's mate.To cut it short, Kelly and I said our goodbyes on Sunday, promising me she was going to reject Alpha Diago once she got back into the pack. I received a message from her after a few hours telling me Alpha Diago had accepted her rejection, and she wasn't in good health. I typed back and told her to get some rest. The bastard didn't deserve her after all.Soon, morning took over and it was Monday, and I had to report to school, which I wished I didn't have to, especially when Roman was going on a run with Juliet under Carolina's influence. She said it would be good for her health and her memories. She advised taking her to familiar places,
JULIET'S POV I have always thought about my life in the club until he found me, alpha Roman from the Turners pack. All indications and evidence showed that I was the step-sister he was searching for. At first, I didn't want to have anything with him, but I didn't have a choice. Refusing a man like him was just like digging my own grave and I didn't want the club to be affected by any of it. Plus, he looked like he would kill to get me out of there if necessary, just like he killed my last customer, who was brutally abusing me the time he came into the private room. I guess he thought I was a push, so he wanted to defend me, but that action of his made me feel a bit important and wanted. The feeling of someone having your back wrapped around me as I felt like I wasn't alone anyone. Alpha Roman made me feel protected for the first time in seventeen years. What was the fate of a girl who didn't remember her past or her family? Of course, the club was my home and everything.
As much as he loved his mate, I knew he had a soft spot for his step-sister, and I would take advantage of that and make him mine!I watched him as he hid behind the trees to get dressed. I couldn't stop myself from admiring his figure as he stepped out of the trees with his heavily built chest and supper great shape. My eyes ran down his sexy-looking body to his six-pack before going back to look at his cold yet handsome face. He was everything a woman would die for: handsome, rich, and, most of all, powerful. He was everything most men would wish to be. His body was in great shape. He was the kind of man that every female would want to fuck for free in the club, not like I would mind having a free night with him.He was super hot, and none of the girls in the club would want to miss the opportunity of being fucked by such a hottie, the thought takes my inside twitch. I didn't know the kind of man I wanted until I met him, my stepbrother, alpha Roman.“It has been years since anyo
ANNABELLA'S POV“ We have thirteen groups hunting for nine treasures, and each of the treasures contains a different parcel. The more parcels you get, the closer you are to claiming the price. The more you hunt, the more you closer you are to bringing the winner for this year's treasure hunt game! The group that emerges as the ultimate winner will be rewarded handsomely by the school. I believe all of you have your wolves!” “ Yes, sir!” we all shouted in unison. “ What do you think the reward will be for this year's game?” Kiran asked and Florence cleared her throat.“ Maybe a free trip to the royal pack,” she said and Kelly giggled. “ That is a small price compared to all the stress we are going to go through.” Kelly dragged her feet and took a stand at the leg side.” I don't think any of you have been to the royal pack,” Florence rolled her eyes as her gaze settled on me. I didn't know the royal pack was such a big deal, but I guess I owe it to Roman.“ I heard they have the highe
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
