Bella's POV You know I could not walk. Those animals had damaged my legs and I really needed a hospital. This was too much for me to bear. All my prayers to the moon goddess were just in vain. As simple as it is, just end me. Make it painless and snappy, that's all I ask for. But however, she refused. This left him no choice but to drag me on the floor. "Please, hope I've not done anything wrong?" I cried. I don't know if he may have noticed anything that happened in the dungeon a few minutes ago. Or who knows, maybe it's time for my execution. He did not reply to me, but I pressed on. "Hey, please talk to me. Are you going to kill me now?" I screamed, my injured throat hurting the most. "Just shut the fuck up before I give what you rightfully deserve bitch." He snapped. "You have a fucking visitor." He groaned. "Um…" "Shut your mouth!" I remained silent before he descended on me. I wonder who would come to visit a wretch like me. Whoever it is, just pray it should b
Bella's POV My head was loaded with heavy tires of confusion that were angrily screeching in my damn mind, adding to the melody that was already drumming in my head. I looked at his devilish face, that sheepish smile never disappearing and his beautiful and piercing blue eyes ever charming but only adding to the anger of betrayal that was burning hot in my head. My heart was fried already, just waiting to be eaten by the stupidity of my next action. I thought about strangling his neck, but I realized I was chained. Fuck!! I felt a rush of anger flood my veins. The sight of him, my mind replaying everything he's done only fills me with rage. I never expected him to visit, not after the way he fucking abandoned and betrayed me, leaving me here to rot and he carried on as if nothing happened. Come to think of it, why did he come to cause me more pain by reminding me about the very cause of all my fucking problems, Jose's death. I was speechless, left with nothing to say. I st
Bella's POV After the amazing and heroic act of mine, the last I could remember was leaning on Luka's body and him softly whispering to my ears. Now I find myself in the prison infirmary, the pain of the injury still hurting and my breath heavy. I opened my eyes, trying to understand what was going on in particular. I see people all around me "Where am I?" I muttered, trying to rise up. "Hey. Easy. You're in the hospital." "Please, try to stay still. We need to stabilize you." To the best of my knowledge, they did not have what it takes to deal with such an injury as this in this prison shit hole. Well, let's see the magic they'll perform. They gave me a shot of anesthetic and that was it. Time just vanished and my eyes closed. All my nerves relaxed and I viewed the surreal environment around me. I was lost in wonderland, but the touch of one of the nurses brought me back. "Hey, you're okay now love. It's alright." The annoying smell of antidotes and medicines fil
Bella's POV Waking up every day remains a living nightmare for me. My mind endlessly punishes me for the whole traumatic event with Luka and the fucking arrow. It's fucking annoying that I don't have a damn wolf and my wound is still slowly healing. My mind remains a dump of the overwhelming emotions of my betrayal and anger. My view of the world has completely changed, I have none to trust other than me, myself, and I. Fuck!! I lay in my cell, my usual ritual since I was discharged from the infirmary, wondering how things could have suddenly gone so wrong. The silence is heavy in my heart and my pain gnaws at me. It creates a wide space for me to be alone, completely isolated, even though I'm in the midst of people. This is what my once beautiful life has now turned into. Out of nowhere, a guard suddenly approaches. I didn't even notice his presence and the usual jangling of his keys until I heard the sound of the iron lock clicking. "Bella!" He called. "Someone is here for
Bella's POV I'm escorted by the Alpha's men, or will I say dragged, through the cold, dark corridors of his palace. The shadows all around me and hunting after my small life. My hands are tied, and my heart is throbbing inside my chest. If it's possible, it would have found a way out and left me to suffer alone. My mind is filled with anxiety and fear, an unending turmoil left for me alone to face. Despite all my struggles, despite how many times I tell myself it's not the end, no matter how hard I try to believe it's not gonna end here, the realization of the clear fact that my life may be coming to an end slowly finds its way in and settles. My mind is clouded with confusion and left with no space for any form of clear thinking. How did it come to this? All I did was try to save Luka, yet here I am, being accused of murder. The overwhelming weight of the situation presses heavily on my shoulders and this time, there's not gonna be any voice to stand in the gap for me. T
Bella's POV They took me to the execution grounds. A cold place where many before me have met their end. It's always done in a grand style as if they're celebrating anything noble. The atmosphere is charged with a sense of finality for me, and for them, a sense of justice. The air is thick with tension as the time of my execution draws nearer. My hands are tied and the guards surrounding me are more vigilant than ever, ensuring that I don't even try to escape or resist. Do they think I'm capable of fighting my way through or running away from here? That's so silly of them. They pressed me down to my knees in front of the crowd, pressing my head on the execution platform. I wonder what's wrong with them. Just a single request, and I'll kneel, another one, and I'll submit. There's no need for force. I know I'm gonna die so it's best if they let me die in peace. The crowd is gathered, whispering amongst themselves. Some with pity, others with contempt. I saw some familiar faces
Bella's POV “Run!” The word echoed through my head and propelled my legs to start moving. It sounded like a battle cry in my head. My heart was thundering in my ears, even louder than the screams I was hearing around me. I didn't know where I was going, all I knew was I had to get away. Far away from here. The whole place remains in shambles and chaos as the attack from the Crescent continues. The guards rush to all corners and regroup to continue resisting, orders are endlessly shouted in the air, and smoke hangs heavy in the atmosphere. The tension is heavy and keeps increasing every second. I ran as fast as my leg could carry me, even though I was still chased by some betas. I felt my torn cloth wiggling in the air as I zoomed through it. The air whooshing in my face sent cold shivers running down my spine. I'm tired already. My legs are weak and heavy, my head spinning in pain, but fear keeps me going. It endlessly pushes those weak legs to keep moving, ringing the swee
Ryan's POV I was alone as usual in the middle of the forest, resting in my hideout, struggling to suppress the restlessness that's been freaking me out for days now. At times, it'll be as if my heart is about to explode, this I just can't seem to understand. My lungs pump heavily, and I'll feel even the weight of her heavy breath right in my throat. However, today was different. It was stronger and sudden. A strong pain struck me. One I've never known before. It hit me hard on my chest and moved down to my legs, spreading through my entire body and disturbing my soul. This was not like the others, it's not physical, a bit emotional, it's spiritual. It's stronger. I could feel the connection more, even though it was rapidly reducing to a flicker. A sharp overwhelming weight tangled around my heart, one I knew was hers. I knew it, something must've gone wrong. I clenched my hand, my fangs bared, my magic unwavering. “She's dying. I can sense it.” Ever since I was banished fro
Bella's POVMy eyes slowly pushed through, my eyelids shook slowly like feathers and finally, it opened. The light forced its way through and went straight to my weak eyes. I ducked immediately, my head pounding heavily and my limbs trembling. My body shook and my soul was shattered.The air around smelt awful. Like that of rotten flesh. This was when I realized I was not with the moon goddess. I was once again, yet in another cave.The air was heavy with the stench of the odor, and the dim blue light flickering across the area illuminated the cave. I found myself on top of a cold stone, my hands tied heavily with strong chains, my blood pumping rapidly in my veins, and my face reddened in fear.Panic surged through my nerves, my body stiffened, and my chest tightened as I struggled to get back to my feet, but the chains held firm and pulled me back to the ground.“Here we go again.” I thought.Now, where am I? Dragged like trash. Now dumped here. Great, just great!Still reeling wit
Bella's POVI can't believe he said this to me. You know, I used to think love was a beautiful thing, so they said, but in my own story, every time I find love or love finds me, it always ends tragically. Love is never beautiful, not to me, not to anyone. We just have to confront the truth.My head was jammed with thoughts. I looked at him, my vision blurred by the tears budging in my eyes, my legs trembling and my soul drowning.“Ryan…”He stood up, his expression darkening into a fierce scowl. His anger simmered inside him and found its way out the surface.He clenched his jaw and gripped my chin hard, his eyes locked onto me, his gaze a mix of uncertainty but anger vivid.“I told you, I don't want to be your mate. I can't be your mate.” He snapped, his voice cut through the silence like a sword.Those were heavy slams. I bet I'll prefer him hitting me than hurting my feelings. My heart cracked to pieces, and the strong mask I wore before fell off, exposing the weakling behind the s
Bella's POV I jerked sharply and awoke with vigor. My heart pounded like a war drum. I sat upright, and my hands immediately trailed to my side, only to find its smooth, completely unbroken skin. The fuck! “Where… am I?” I whispered into the empty room. I woke up and found myself lying on a thick stone slab, softened with beddings of fur. The walls are rough stones, lit by dim flickering lights and an eerie blue flame. I expected to find myself somewhere else, maybe with the moon goddess, probably dead, or in the Crescent's territory or prison. But here, it looked somewhat… cozy. Come to think of it, where is Rose? We were together back there? I scanned around the room, checking for any trace of her, but I couldn't find her. I still continued to look around the room, it looked a little bit familiar. The air is thick with the scent of moss, pine, and something else, something familiar. Something I can't seem to remember but this place feels oddly familiar. I don't u
