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 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
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
ALPHA ROMAN'S POVI wanted to spend time with her maybe I felt guilty for making such a decision. A decision to take her out of the pack and away from the pack from everything that could put her in danger.I knew a day like this was meant to come but I couldn't cage my fear. The whole alpha council was after her; they claimed her existence meant danger to the werewolf species. They used what she did with her mother to judge her. They said she was no different from the other royal wolves that appeared but she was.None of the royal wolves that existed had a fated mate but Bella's has. It was Vincent's idea for me to show up at the meeting after I was called by the alpha king. And the result was exactly what I didn't want. The council of Elders, together with the fucking alpha king wanted Bella executed as soon as possible. And they expected me to fucking hand her over to them because she was what they considered as dangerous. Royal wolves were indeed dangerous but they did forget
ALPHA ROMAN'S POV“Have the missing pups been found?” I asked Vincent as we strode towards my office building.Three pups could go missing in a day was suspicious that was why someone fucking owes me an explanation.” They were found dead in the woods.” I clenched my jaw as we walked along the pathway that led to my office door. Two warriors stopped and greeted me which I nodded to. “ The course of their death isn't confirmed yet but it's definitely a murder case,” he added as we stepped into my office. If what I was thinking was correct then this wouldn't be the end. Abraham would push all my bottoms to make sure I hand over my mate to him and his tyrants. The murder of three pups was the fucking start.I knew I had to do something before everything ran south, but I didn't intend to go into battle with the royal pack. Many of my warriors were mated with pups; there should be another way out of this that didn't have to be me handing over my mate to them. I used to enjoy the quick m
ANNABELLA'S POV “ So you mean I'm in a demon territory?” Madeline nodded hesitantly and I stared ahead at the two identical demons standing by the door. Confusion burned in my eyes as I wondered what was going on.” Roman didn't bring me here, did he?” “ The alpha is in the best position to explain everything to you.” She said and I nodded, trying so hard to stop myself from shedding a tear. At this point, the only question ringing in my head was, why did Roman bring me here? Demons and werewolves have nothing in common. These creatures have been our enemies for ages and he left me here for what exactly? “ I don't want to eat anything.” my voice was barely a whisper as I stood on my feet and walked over to the fixed window that gives a view of the outside world. But the ground level was deeper and it felt like I was living in the sky. “ Don't worry, lord Sage will never do anything to hurt alpha Roman.” I turned from the window with my hands crossed over my chest. “ Does
ANNABELLA'S POVThree days in the demon territory wasn't enough to make me feel comfortable. Trusting them was out of the picture because I knew I was only alive because Roman brought me here; I could tell how Sage, the demon lord, valued his words to Roman.I still found it hard to breathe around them, so I preferred staying inside; I had never been this confused in my life, but I guess I had to live with it since no one was saying anything.At least I had the right to know what was going on, but who was I going to ask when my mate didn't deem it fit to tell me anything?Roman didn't leave me here, did he? I was trying to understand why he did that to me. Was it because of how I reacted back in the car, did he get the wrong idea?I wouldn't blame him if he thought I didn't want to carry his pups. I would want to carry his pup and have him to myself, sharing him with another was what scars me.Juliet!I couldn't stop thinking of her and her advances towards Roman. What was going to h
ANNABELLA'S POV“ Lord Sage.” A voice interrupted, and we both turned our heads. It was a man with a bold head, and he immediately knelt before Sage with his head down. “ Speak.” He ordered and the man lifted his head slightly but not daring to look up. ” The traitor that has been walking in our territory and leaking information to the outside has been found.” He informed him, and I could sense Sage's whole dominae changing.“ I'm sorry this beautiful moment has to be cut short. I hope this won't be the last.” He smiled at me before walking off with the man and disappearing through one of the doors.I sighed as I turned to look at the river that was flowing its banks and was adorned with green plants.‘ Do you think Roman brought us here to protect us?’ I asked Eve; I didn't know what to think anymore because nothing was making sense from my perspective. Why would I wake up in a demon territory all by myself?What was Roman protecting me from? It was hard to make the right guess, I
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
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
