ANNABELLA'S POV“ You can?” Amanda lifted her face to look at me, her eyes were red and filled with tears.” Let's hurry and get out of here; the hospital is not far from here. Maybe the doctors can help him, Brooke can't be infected.” She pleaded, my eyes settling on Brooke's wolf.Aside from being ruthless, rogues were feared for their carefree lives. “ Let me,” I stepped forward before going down on my knees. ‘ You just need to concentrate.’ Eve encouraged as I stretched my palm on his injury; I took in a slow breath since this was my first time trying to save someone. I wasn't sure how, but Eve made sure I believed in my healing powers. And since she did, I couldn't doubt it. I recalled healing my mother and unintentionally healing a pregnant woman with complications. Golden glows suddenly emerged from the tip of my fingers and I stared at the magic so calmly. It was working! A warm feeling slipped through my chest as I stared at my glowing fingers. I was indeed a royal wolf w
ALPHA ROMAN'S POV A slight knock pulled my attention to the door as it pulled open.” Roman.” The familiar voice resounded in the room, and I stared up at her smiling face.” Do you need anything?” I asked, leaning in my seat and she shook her head strongly. I sighed, I thought as much; Vincent had already taken care of everything, starting from her basic needs to the mansion, which I was sure was done by now.“ I'm ready to move into the mansion,” she said, and I stared down at the documents before me.” I will help you get by.” I closed the file and stood on my feet.” You don't need to bother if you are busy.” she said, but I still left my seat and started towards the door.” I hope I recall all my memories very soon.” She said and I couldn't wish for something else. I also hoped she would recall everything as soon as possible; I needed to get to the bottom of the matter once and for all. “ I will try my best and remember everything about that night.” She assured as she stopped an
ALPHA ROMAN'S POV “ Roman, my stuff…..” “ Zion will help you with anything you need.” I turned and said to her before striding out of the mansion with Vincent behind me.” How long has she been there?” I asked hoping she was okay.” A few hours have passed.” He replied and felt like punching him in the face, so why the fuck was I just hearing about it? What if something bad happens to her?This wasn't fucking happening. “ She is with three other students.” I didn't say anything as I was currently getting inside my car.“ Shouldn't we bring a few warriors with us?” Vincent climbed in the driving seat.” Take the main road.” I instructed, ignoring his question. I didn't want to think something had happened to her, but she was in danger; the rogue forest wasn't a lively place for a pack wolf. Rogues were malicious creatures, and it would take them only a few seconds to sense Bella's strength and see her as a threat.” I don't think we should go there alone ““ What, do you think I can't p
ANNABELLA'S POV“ Where is everyone?” I asked as I dropped down the stairs and pulled a chair for myself by the dining table. I wasn't expecting to have the room to myself or eat alone as those days seemed to be long gone. “ Alpha Roman already left for his pack duties,” Madeline's voice rang from the kitchen, which I already knew. He wasn't beside me when I woke up and it was easy to guess where he was, not like it was his first time disappearing after a night.” And as for Miss Juliet, she has already moved out.” she added and I stopped steering the cup of coffee before me.” She moved out?” as she moved out from the pack?I turned my head to my back, my eyes fixed on the entrance of the kitchen with a confused expression on my face.” Did she leave the pack?” I inquired, a part of me hoped she left the pack for good because ever since I laid my eyes on her, I have never had a good feeling about her.Madeline walked out of the kitchen with a tray of cookies and a small smile plastere
ALPHA ROMAN'S POV“ What the hell are you doing?” She asked her eyes moving around the place as if scared that someone would see us.” Taking you back to the packhouse, of course.“ I replied coldly, shifting my eyes to look at her with a smirk on my face. I could feel her body going numb in my arms. “ I will get there by myself.” She said, but I didn't make any attempt to put her on her feet and instead continued to walk down the road towards the pack house.” Roman, what are you doing?” she half yelled, realizing I had no intention whatsoever to put her down. I was done being patient with her; she should have fucking listened to me when I told her to stay the hell away from Diago's brother.Fuck, why was I even pissed?I couldn't believe I was being this possessive, but I couldn't help it, especially when that boy was still around her. Last night, I unconsciously saw a message on her phone that made my blood boil, and it pointed to Diago's fucking kid brother, who seemed to be close t
ANNABELLA'S POVI was disappointed when I found out we weren't going to spend the day together, but after he left, I thought of it and decided to go to his office because I thought he might be busy with work and pack duty.I could already imagine the look on his face once he saw me. I dropped my bag on the bed but suddenly had a second thought. What if he wasn't at the office and he had gone to a meeting?I doubt Roman would leave the pack without telling me, but it could be an emergency.I bit on my lip and sat back on the bed. For all I knew, he wouldn't send me away once he saw me.Staying in the house during school hours seems to be the most boring thing to do. ‘ You should make yourself busy.’ Eve suggested, and I thought she was right; maybe it wouldn't be boring after all.I headed downstairs and switched on the television. There were a lot of channels, and since I wasn't the movie type, I didn't know which one to choose. I switched from one channel to the other until I found
ANNABELLA'S POVI felt a warm touch on my shoulder as I stood under the shower. But relaxed when I sensed his well-known smell, the smell that wouldn't escape me even in my deepest sleep.” Did you decide to lock me out last night?” He whispered behind my ears as his hand creased my bare shoulder, his cold lips touching my ears.I shut my eyes, the familiar feeling shaking my inside and my stomach crowded with butterflies. Heat pulled up at my bottom and I could feel my legs go weak.” I- I didn't…….”“ You can't talk now?” His hand slipped down to my arm, and I swallowed hard as he forced me to lean my back against him; the warm shower wasn't helping my heated body cool down. “ I wasn't angry to see the door locked last night, but I was when you ran out of my office like you did.” He whispered, and I squeezed my eyes shut, my lips pressed together. ” I don't blame you for locking me out but I.” My eyes pushed open; maybe it was wrong to be angry with him, but why didn't he tell me it
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
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 my mate.
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?" Vince
ANNABELLA'S POV “ How about we have lunch?” “ What do you think Bella?” I pulled my gaze from the window with less interest.” We are planning to have lunch on our way, do you want to join us? This restaurant is owned by Caleb,” Dalia said proudly, and I immediately shook my head, not interested.” I don't feel like having anything.” “ Are you okay?” Caleb asked, even though his voice was a bit cold but the words blended very well with it. “ What are you saying? She replied, and I immediately sensed her jealousy. What a child's play! I went back to staring out the window. It has been a long since I came out, but I wasn't feeling any happiness. It was Sage's idea I ride with Caleb because the driver who brought me was his driver and he had something to take care of. The car took a turn and halted in front of a fancy building. ‘ Humans.’ Eve's bored voice made me roll my eyes. I wasn't sure what I was thinking when I took Callicious’ offer seriously, but it wouldn't hurt
ANNABELLA'S POV My eyes stuck out the window as the car drove on the road. Feeling the fresh air swept across my face, I felt like I had spent the longest time behind closed doors. The demon world was nothing like ours; while we lived close to nature and a bit away from humans, they lived in a hidden where almost everything was made accessible, not far from humans, though. The car halted in front of a huge building, and as I stepped down from the car, I let my eyes run around the place. It was quiet, and the walls were lifted with white paint. The surroundings made me wonder if it was a church, but it was too big for a church. “ Where is this place?” I asked the male demon who drove me down here. “ The elders are inside, lady Bella.” He kept his head down and addressed me the way everyone else did. I raised a brow; my eyes stared around for a while before starting towards the entrance, curious to know what this was about. ‘ Demons, ‘ Eve growled, and I rolled my eyes; what did I
