Bella’s POVMy already cracked heart shattered even further at his statement yet I still held it in. This was wrong. Someone was bound to talk in my defense. No one in my pack had ever gotten rejected before. I didn’t want to be the first. Liam was playing a prank on me. He had to be playing! I tur
Bella’s POVConsciousness returned to me and I stirred awake. My eyes opened to a bedroom –a very large bedroom. I searched around the semi-lit room and my mouth opened in awe. When the rogues got me trapped, I knew I was going to die, but I never thought this sort of luxury was in death too. The

"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
