Bella’s POVI could not believe what my ears were hearing. Annabeth wanted me eliminated? It made no sense.“No,” I whispered shaking my head negatively. She couldn’t have meant it in the way my ears were interpreting it.She must have been lying to those men to protect me. Annabeth couldn’t want me
“I tried okay! I tried but Darius refused to let her die. The fool was ready to die for her if it was what it required. If I kept insisting, they would suspect me!”“Annabeth, you think you are doing enough but you aren’t. And then you forget that the more you waste time, the more complicated this b
Darius POVEach thrust into Anika’s folds was a painful reminder that she wasn’t Bella and could never be no matter how hard I tried to pretend she was. As I held her waist in place and continued hitting hard into her core, I expected her screams to be that of Bella, but each time I got disappointe
She was up to something, I could feel it.Lucius was one of the few rogue leaders that had made a name for himself. He even managed to secure land for his people but he was very dangerous. He played every one that was close to him and every leader in their right mind stayed away from him. It was an
Bella’s POVI still couldn’t believe Annabeth had only been a snake. I was so gullible I took everything she said to me seriously and at heart. I thought she truly cared for me. I thought I had lost Talia and found another sister in her. But everything had been a lie.A lie so great my heart bled.I
Many times, I heard moaning coming out of his room when Annabeth and I passed. Everything tore me apart but I refused to dwell on them. I told myself he was an alpha and it was only normal he had multiple sex partners and I had no right to feel hurt. He didn’t belong to me.Who was I anyway? I was
Bella’s POVRather than feel coerced by his words, they made my toes curl and a pool of need filled my core instead. I wanted nothing more but to release them.All the caged emotions I had been keeping ever since the ball and the ones before that all returned at once. They combined with my anger and
I swallowed hard, not knowing what to reply to him with.He was an entirely different person right now. He was back to the old Darius that had taken my pride. The one I thought could have more than just sexual desires for me… The one that had somehow taken away thoughts of Liam from my head…I looke
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
I nodded and stepped out of the room. Liam was in the vehicle waiting and as soon as his guards saw me, they pulled the door open for me to join him.It was completely dark outside and I knew that I had to go see that old woman now or miss the chance. Tomorrow was the last day before the ceremony.W
