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 POV ' You have always wanted to leave this pack and I guess this is it. I should have known how cheap and desperate you are. Who the hell did you think you were? ' 'I'm sorry Summer, it's my father's decision and not mine ' ' I hope you will be happy with that ruthless beast. You both deserve each other ' I turned on my back to face the ceiling with tears stuck in my eyes as I recalled my conversation with Summer earlier. " I wish this whole madness would stop," I whispered, clenching my fingers tightly on the surrounding sheet. ' I have decided to marry you off to Alpha Roman instead of your sister because the pack will need her and her mate', were my father's exact words when he called me to his office. I pulled down the sheet from my body, stepped down from the bed, and walked slowly towards the window in my white night dress, my long black hair falling smoothly behind my back. The cold night breeze raced inside the room. Immediately, I pushed the window open
ANNABELLA'S POV I texted Summer and asked him to meet me at the small park near the border and I was happy he agreed. I hope he agrees to leave the pack with me because I couldn't imagine my life without him, and the fact that he went out with Olivia made me want to pull her hair out, it set my heart ablaze and it hurts seeing mate with another. I walked out of the house carefully making sure no one was around to stop me, with my small bag hanging on my shoulder, making sure to empty my savings box. We would need the money once we were out of the pack. I got out of the house in no time and set off towards the park, happy to meet Summer. I ran my way through the darkness as I couldn't wait, constantly looking back to be certain I wasn't followed. I finally found myself in the huge clearing, the same place I used to play with Summer when we were kids. So many beautiful memories. Summer and I had been together since I could remember, and I was glad to be chosen as his mate an
ANNABELLA'S POV I didn't know how long I stayed in the park crying, but there was one thing I was sure of, and that was I was hurting. I never expected it nor did I want to believe it because he loved me. What if he was forced by my father to do this? What if he didn't mean what he said? So many things ran inside my head as I found it difficult to believe he was getting married to Olivia. I knew Summer too well. He would never hurt me on purpose. He might have said that, so I would stay in the pack. He promised me he would protect me no matter what, right? He told me he would never let anyone hurt me, including my father and Olivia. Maybe that was his way of fulfilling his promise. I stared down at my palm, which had a small bleeding cut and my heart squeezed in my chest as I realized I was hurt because of him. I felt my heart pulling apart at that instant just at the thought of the possibility of him telling the truth. Hurt and broken, I stared up at the path they took. I
ANNABELLA'S POV Fate has thrown a dark shade on me that I doubt I will ever recover from this betrayal. Standing beside my window dressed in a long red gown that showed enough of my cleavage and had a long cut up to the middle of my left thigh. My two packed luggage standing beside my bed, my hand crossed against my chest in silence as I stared out of my window, waiting to say my goodbye. Even though everything was taken from me by my twin sister, Olivia, I still feel sad because I was leaving. Besides, this pack had been my home right from the beginning. Every single tear and laughter I experienced happened right in this pack. No matter how much pain I think this pack has cost me, I still can't help being emotional. I would be leaving any moment from now. It was just a matter of time, I just had to wait a little longer. Soon I won't have to deal with Olivia again. I blame myself for my difficult life, but I hated Olivia for everything. " Annabella". I turned back from the

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
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
