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
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
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 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 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 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
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
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
SUMMER'S POV“ What is your next plan?” Did he mean the next step to take?“ Claim my fated mate.” I replied with no hesitation besides, that has been the end result since the beginning.“ What about Olivia?” he asked as if she ever meant something to me.” I mean you and Olivia are wedded and married, it won't be easy to get rid of her especially when her father still supports her.” I turned to face my father who has been confined in a wheelchair for the past years.His loyalty to alpha Christopher earned him nothing aside from being crippled.“ Alpha Christopher won't be able to stop me from reuniting with my fated mate." That was a promise.Eight years ago I was forced to take the beta duty from my father at a young age after my father who was the beta of the shadow pack and the best friend of alpha Christopher became crippled after risking his life to save him during a rogue attack. During all those years I served the pack with diligence and honesty. I did everything within my power
ANNABELLA'S POV“ What are you doing?” I asked the minute my eyes pushed open and I pulled away from him. He let out a sigh as he pulled his hand away from my face, straightened his back, and took a step back from the bed.” Good morning.” “ Why are you here?” I asked, and a slight chuckle pulled out of his mouth. A frown settled on my face as my eyes scanned the unfamiliar room. It wasn't a dream; my father has indeed kidnapped me with the intention of making me Summer's mate or, should I say, his baby-making machine?” You can't keep me here, Roman will find me.” I said and he shook his head, his eyes looking back at me. “ Alpha Roman is already searching for you, but I doubt he will find you.” a stupid smile spread on his face, and there was nothing I wanted more than to give him a stupid punch man's face. “ You don't want to know how this will end,” I threatened, and he started laughing.” Believe me, I am more than interested in knowing how this will end.” He sounded different fro
ALPHA ROMAN'S POV“ Who did she say she was hanging out with?” I asked Madeline as I pulled the phone from my ear. It was the hundredth time I was calling her number but I still couldn't get through.What couldn't possibly have happened?“ She wasn't specific, she only said she was hanging out with her friends and she will be having lunch out. Madeline explained. That was exactly what I wanted to believe but something wasn't right. “ Why is her phone fucking off!” Frustration piqued in and I ran my fingers through my hair.” Get Zion to check the full moon pack, I need a reply in twenty minutes.” I instructed and Vincent nodded. “ Get someone to trace her cell phone. Find out who she was hanging out with.” I ordered everything in one breath. “ Maybe her phone is off.” Madeline said and I lifted my head to look at her, I could see she was equally worried and I wished what she was saying was true but I couldn't ignore the thought lingering in my head. Why wasn't Xade able to connect wi
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
