“Where did you get that from?” She added and my eyes turned to slits. Was she trying to deny being with this Lucius person?I felt a kick at my leg from under the table and I raised my eyes to find Darius straight face staring at Annabeth, waiting for an answer like he didn’t just kick me.I wiped
Bella’s POVI had completely forgotten about the hair clip until she showed it to me.The green ornament glistered under the light and I remembered how it had fallen off my head last night. I had leaned on the door post and as I hurried to get away, it got pulled off and fell.“I know you heard ever
“Bella,” Chris called shaking my hand.“Huh?” I asked snapping out of my thoughts.“You zoned out on me… did Darius do anything to you? You were searching for him last night after what happened. Did you find him?”“I am sorry Chris. Can we have this conversation later? I really need to go now,” I sa
Darius’ POV“So that is a good deal, no?” Arnold said and I nodded. “My people have only considered you to be a monster. It will be good if you come back with me and together we can tell them that you are now our ally, yes!”Arnold had accepted all conditions of the alliance. He was even ready to go

Darius’ POVI moved out of my room, fuming at myself. Why did I have to let Bella affect me so much?She was a fucking slave but each time, I let her mess with my mind!“Damn it!” I cursed as I took the stair down the dungeon where Peter was waiting for me.He was leaning by the end of the stair, wi
“It is good that you are smart. I thought I would have to explain myself over and over.” I started going around him, to create a sort of mental intimidation.Chris seemed to be a well-trained spy. He wasn’t even breaking a sweat –But that would soon change.“Why did you happen to be the first to see

"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

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.
