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 POVAt first, I thought it was insane walking in a forest with a map, but after my group and I discovered one treasure, I became overwhelmed with the whole thing. We didn't know what was inside yet but I was excited and couldn't wait to discover more.I was lucky my group was made of two boys and a girl plus me. “ Bella.” I stopped when we got to a junction with two roads ahead. “ The map ends here,” I told the other girl; her name was Amanda, and she seemed nicer than she appeared. “ Does that mean we stop here?” One of the boys asked, and I learned his name was Brooke; he seemed to be very close to Amanda, and I think I had seen him in the school a couple of times, not like Amanda, whom I had just met. Most of the students I saw today on the field weren't familiar, and I guess that was because Rivers was huge, with quite a number of wolves attaining education.“ Let me check.” The other boy named Hens collected the map and, after looking at it closely, he shoved it back
ANNABELLA'S POVAfter breakfast, we had a short drive into a clothing store nearby, where Roman bought me expensive designer dresses before proceeding to only the goddess knew where. Countless times I tried to get him to talk but he seemed to not want to talk. I didn't want to believe the pack was in difficult times but what else could be the problem?Maybe he wanted to make me happy!Was that date?!I couldn't cage my excitement. Why in the goddess' name didn't I think of this earlier?I unbuckled my seat belt and leaned against his shoulder with excitement burning in my eyes.I couldn't believe I was on a date with him, the alpha of the Turners pack. A god amid shifters.!I would look at him once in a while as I still had difficulties believing he was mine.The city was a lively place to live, I could tell by looking at the busy roads. The streets were crowded with cars and humans at the side walked. Every store we entered was filled with lavish items and Roman would buy me someth
ANNABELLA'S POV“ Mr Roman,” I heard a slight knock come on the door, and a low growl slipped out of my mouth as I felt myself lose the warmth of me. I turned on my side and pulled the sheet up to cover my head, but that wasn't enough to send me back to sleep even though I tried to go back to my beautiful sleep until the sweet smell of cigarettes hit me. I moaned as I turned on my back to inhale it, it was the same smell I have been strangely addicted to.I flipped my eyes open,d and the first thing I saw was his back; he was standing by the poo,l and his naked broad back was facing me.A smile tagged on my lips as I set my feet on the cold clean floor.With the white sheet wrapped around,e I started towards him.The glass wall was already open, and the early morning sun was yet to shine. The cold air creased my ski,n and my hair swung behind me as I stepped out of the room to the poolside.“ Good morning.” He says as soon as I wrap my hands around his waist and rest my head on his b
ALPHA ROMAN'S POVWhat the fuck!“ I will leave the pack as soon as possible and never show up in front of you.” A low growl fucking slipped out of my mouth as I watched my mate cry asking me to reject her. I didn't know what was going on with her but I wasn't going to reject her. No matter what happens, rejecting her would never be an option. She was my fucking mate, for goddess' sake; what was she thinking? How the fuck did she expect me to reject her? Did she want to leave me?My wolf, Xade, growled in my head, showing his disapproval.I desperately wanted to hold her in my arms and pull her into my chest. My hand fisted at my side as I found them useless. My eyes gaze at her with emotions flipping in my eyes.She was the only person that made me feel weak and strong at the same time. Her tears were making me hate everything around me including myself. “ Bella….” “ You don't have to explain anything; I get it. Just reject me.” She insisted, her head down as she was avoiding my
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
