“You are very lucky Bella,” she said and I stared at her through the mirror. There was excitement in her eyes like she meant what she was saying.I scoffed and said, “You don’t want to know how unlucky I am Mary.”“I wouldn’t say that though,” Leticia added from my feet.It was her turn to get a lon
Darius POV“When was the last time you came to visit me?” Annabeth asked as she glared at me.“You are here now, I think that question is irrelevant,” I replied with a smirk.She punched my chest playfully, “I’ll make sure I wipe out that cockiness from your face before I leave here!” she said and I
“I didn’t go around for this one, she came to me,” I retorted.“What?” Annabeth cried out. “Bella is that true?”I could almost hear Bella’s heart racing in her chest as she tried to find a good answer for Annabeth.I chuckled at her reactions and continued walking. Annabeth had always been one to b
Bella’s POVThe room was left tensed as Darius walked out. I swallowed the morsel in my mouth and quickly made to get up and go after him. He didn’t say anything while he was leaving and I sincerely didn’t know what he wanted me to do, but my guts told me to go after him.As I hurriedly wiped my mou
I felt tears pull at my eyes as I felt immense pity for the young Darius who had to grow up without the love of his mother. I had a mother –even though she barely cared what happened to me, she was still there.I was about to ask something else when a maid walked in and bowed at Annabeth. Then faced
Bella’s POVI kept on blowing air on the cut and surprisingly, he stopped groaning and watched me as I worked on him.I finished cleaning and stretched out my hand to him. Our eyes met as he passed me the torn piece of my summer dress and for some strange reason, I felt heat flood my cheeks.Calmnes
I subconsciously shifted even closer to him as he began his narration. I didn’t want to miss out on a single word.“We were out training for stamina in the mountains. We kept jumping and running around on the uneven terrain… I got distracted and I fell over,” he said ending the tale as quickly as he
Darius’ POV“What are you doing here?” he growled and the room went silent.I had been looking all over for her. Not knowing that she was here laughing with some guard!It angered my heart in ways I couldn’t describe. She had never laughed that way with me and I have spent the most time with her, ye
The waist side hugged my curves like a second skin and the slit showed just enough skin to make Darius go crazy.I picked a flat sandal and packed my hair up, using my new fancy hairpin to hold it in place.Since the maids had carried all of our bags down, the only thing left was me. I gave a final
Epilogue: (Bella's POV)(**A Year Later**)I was soaking in a warm bath in the bathroom, enjoying the way the water kissed my skin. Memories of the past sizzled in and out of me as the water continued its soothing work.My mother had changed though we suspected this was because she felt her children
"You can never be half the man Darius is. The only monster in this story is you Liam, not Darius!" Bella retorted."Aahh!" Liam let out a barbaric scream and the popping of bones filled the air.Before I could make a split-second decision, he started running toward Bella and the time slowed. I threw
Darius's POVArnold's convoy got to Liam's pack and we could see the light works in the distance. My heart skipped a beat as I hoped we were not too late.We parked along the border lines to conceal the vehicles among the trees. I stepped out of the vehicle and placed my hand on my waist as I looke
The door to my room opened and my mother stepped in with a tray of food in her hands."How is my Luna doing?" She chirped happily not even noticing the long faces we were sporting —maybe she did and decided to ignore it."I brought you breakfast!" She placed the tray on the bed and pulled it open fo
Bella's POV"My sons were murdered in cold blood by Liam and when I told the pack that he did it, they tagged me as the crazy one. Do you think they will believe you?" Her voice rang in the almost empty room we sat in.I looked at my father and he nodded, giving me the support and comfort I needed.
"Oh, dear goddess! My child, you are right. I have a breakout?" She yelled talking away to her room. "I need to take care of my face at once!"I smiled as I watched her hurry to her room to use about a hundred products to keep breakouts away from her."You should come early so that I can do a facial
Bella's POVI watched as Liam's convoy reluctantly leaves and I keep flashing him a huge smile as the vehicles disappear into the far distance.When I was sure they were completely gone, I pushed the front door to my house open and walked in."Oh, Bella, you are back?" My mother squeaked from her po
