Her eyes immediately snapped up to my face and I saw the way her face pinched into a frown."That disgrace of a daughter left!" She hissed.My confusion only added as I couldn't comprehend what she meant. Why would Talia leave? She was happy when Liam had chosen her as his mate in front of everyone—
Bella's POV"I am not the same Bella that walked away from her Mother. I will not be used." I spat out.Panic flashed in her eyes and she got up from the bed like her ass had been pricked with a sharp pin."Bella!""Yes, mother! I am not going to let you use me anymore. If Liam wants me, he would ha
But I could see the dress underneath. Even with the dim light in the bar, I could make out that it was a bright-colored dress.A small prick came to me as it reminded me of Miranda and Darius's castle. I wondered what Shana would be doing now. Would she miss me? Would Darius even care...I shook my
Bella's POVThe strange bartender was still at the back of my mind and her advice remained strong as I made my way back home. I wondered where she had come from since no one seemed to know her in the bar.I shrugged my shoulders and walked on. The goddess must have sent her to me to help make the p

Darius's POV"Move the festival till next two weeks. The preparations should be ready by then," I said as I went through the papers on my table.When I didn't hear any response from Peter, I looked up and saw the sad look in his eyes."What has gotten into you now?" I growled as I slapped the paper
I stopped pacing and narrowed my eyes at her.I had always wondered why no one came to strike a bargain for her freedom. I didn't keep the news of her kidnapping a secret. In fact, if I did, the ball I held for Arnold's alliance pretty much put her in the spotlight.If anyone had made an effort to f
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

"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.
