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

"Where will you be staying when you get there?" Mary asked spurting my focus back on her."Huh, I was thinking I will just go to Alpha Arnold... I am sure he will help me out with accommodation and maybe even resources on how to find her," I said."I see..." She trailed but I could pick out the hesi

"I don't even where to begin this..." She whispered in a low voice. She sounded beaten and battered like she had faced a worse fate."First, I want to apologize," my voice broke out through her sealed lips again. "I want to apologize for everything I did to you right from when we were kids... It was
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.
