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
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
