Bella's POV

"My son,” I sobbed, carrying Cayden into my arms while the hospital turned into a mess. People were running helter-skelter to find safety from whoever this attacker was. My hands were still stained with Lady Lee's blood but I didn't care. I just wanted to be with my son, skin-to-skin.

"The second gunshot," I mumbled, racking my brain. "Peron!" I yelled, then dashed out of the room, running with the other hospital workers till I made a turn into Peron's room. Luckily he wasn't shot, causing me to sigh in relief.

It took a while for the hospital staff to regulate and calm the area. While they wheeled Lady Lee's dead body past me for identification, the gunshot scenes from earlier flashed in my memory once again, causing me to break down. Who did this? What could she have known for them to murder her so ruthlessly?

The nurses ushered me to my room and the first thing I heard was my ringing phone.

"Bella!" I heard Max sigh in relief. "Where the fuck were you? I have been try

    Bella's POV"An unknown number," I mumbled, staring at the vibrating phone in my hands. First the stalker and now this? "Is it even advisable to pick up?" I thought to myself but eventually decided to after a few seconds of thinking. Maybe I could find out the truth."Hello?" My voice came as a whisper and only when I heard a familiar voice did I sigh in relief."Bella, how are you? Are you feeling better now?" Essie checked up on me and I assured her I was fine but didn't mention anything about the text cause if they had access to my call log, they would be able to trace my calls, right?Before I could even respond, one of their informants showed up at the door, she didn't even knock and if not for my advance hearing, she would have walked in and gathered everything about my call for those who sent her."Why are you here?" I growled at her, immediately hanging up on Essie without any explanation."Came to check up on him," she answered, looking around the hotel room. "Why did you giv

I had a plan, the only issue was how to get out of here without alarming Max's men I briskly walked out of the hospital, my mind consumed with the unsettling confrontation with Kira. The accusations, the doubts… it all felt heavy on me and I needed answers, and I needed them fast.Remembering I had Emily's address from her hiring file that I found, I hailed a cab and made my way to Emily's house. When I arrived, the eeriness of an empty house greeted me.The phone rang again, displaying an unknown number. This time, I hesitated before answering. "Who is this?" I demanded, my voice more assertive than before.A distorted voice on the other end replied, "You're meddling in affairs that don't concern you, Isabelle. Leave now if you want to live."My heart pounded in my chest. "Who are you? What do you want?"Before I could get any answers, an ominous noise echoed through the house, and then everything exp

    Bella's POV"What on earth are those two doing here?" Max asked me in mindlink and I replied. "I'm trying to figure that out too.""Do you want me to stay?" Max asked, still in mind link."Nah. That'll be suspicious," I replied and with a swift movement, he acted like he came to grab a few things for the doctors then headed out. "I'll be at the corner. Just let me know if they try anything stupid,” Max said as they walked in.The three of us just stared at each other, nobody knowing what to say first and I decided to break the silence. "To what do I owe the pleasure of this visit, Silver brothers?" I asked my father and his brother who stood side by side."Isabella," my father gave a soft tone. "We just came to check up on you. Is that a bad thing?""Coming from the silver brothers, yes. Yes, it is. What do you want?" My father exchanged a glance with Uncle Richard before taking a step forward, his eyes lingering on Cayden who was sleeping peacefully in his crib."We heard about th

    Bella's POV "Wake up!" I heard someone growl behind me. Even Cayden immediately started crying from the intensity of the voice. "What do you want from us?" The voice yelled again and because I slept late while trying to figure out who was bothering my life, it took me a while to comprehend what was going on. The first thing I did was to carry my son and cradle him while I faced the angry Luna. "Good morning…" I greeted, stifling a yawn."Save your greetings, you prostitute!" She yelled. "What happened?" I asked, trying to understand what caused this early morning anger.She scoffed, her eyes moving up and down my body and I could feel the strong hatred emanating from her. "What happened? After everything you've done to us, you have the effrontery to ask me what happened? What kind of prostitute are you?" She roared. I looked at her for a few seconds then took a deep breath. "Luna, I have so much respect for you but I won't let you insult me. Can you tell me why you're in my room

Forty percent of my company shares were indeed transferred.My heart raced as I scanned through the transaction details, desperately trying to find any clue about who could be behind this. The tension in the room was suffocating, and I needed answers. I couldn't let my father and uncle destroy everything Peron and I had worked so hard for.Just as I was engrossed in deciphering the transaction trail, the door swung open, and Max walked in. His presence surprised me, momentarily distracting me from the chaos on my laptop screen."Bella, we need to talk," Max said with a seriousness in his voice that matched the gravity of the situation.Relieved to see a familiar face, yet angry at the timing, I snapped, "Talk? About what? I'm busy!”Max hesitated for a moment, then confessed, "I bought those shares."I stood up, unable

    Peron's POV As I slowly opened my eyes, the harsh fluorescent lights of the hospital room pierced through my vision, intensifying the throbbing pain in my head. A dull ache spread like wildfire, and I winced at the unwelcome sensation. Confusion engulfed me as I tried to recall the events leading to my current state. The last thing I remembered was the screeching tires, the blinding headlights, and the sickening crunch of metal, then the notification on my phone and Elizabeth. What roller coaster events! I tried to move to find Bella and Cayden but my body felt heavy and unresponsive. Just then, a kind-faced woman, most likely a nurse, with a gentle smile noticed my awakening and came in. "Mr. Peron, you're awake. How are you feeling?" she asked. "My head is pounding," I mumbled, struggling to sit up. The nurse gently pressed me back onto the bed. "You've been in a coma. You need to take it easy. Your body needs time to adjust," she insisted. “Coma?” I groaned, looking at her co

    Bella's POV “What do you mean?” I asked, shocked at his outburst, and a bit nervous as he mentioned Max. I've been working on the company and immediately I heard you were awake, so I rushed here immediately to tell you the good news. Why are you angry with me?” “Don’t play me, Isabella. You've been spending time with him. It's written all over you! You have his scent all over you! “But…” “Okay, tell me, who helped you with the company preparations? Tyler? Rosa? Your family?” he asked and I became mute. “Say something, Bella,” he demanded and I nodded. “Yes, Alpha Max helped me,” I admitted. “He was the only one I could go to for help. Why are you making this seem like a bad thing?” “So now I'm making it seem like a bad thing? That you left your family and our friends and went to another man for help? A man you know I do not like seeing you around?” He scoffed. “You have got to be kidding me, Bella.” Understanding that he was hurt, I moved closer trying to touch him but she smac

But I didn't even lay a finger on you!” She lied, acting like a saint now that Peron was looking.Next thing we knew, Peron stood up and came to the door."Peron, it's not what you think..." I began, but Peron pushed his mother out of the room and my words were drowned out by the harsh slam of the door against my face. “Look at what you've caused now,” The Luna tried to threaten, but seeing as I didn't back down and Max was also there, she just mumbled a few incoherent words and left, but I heard her clearly say. “This isn't over Isabella.”Max reluctantly released his hold on me, and I mumbled a half-hearted thanks as I retreated to the solitude of my roomMax's voice cut through the heavy silence, his concern evident. "What happened back there?"I met his gaze, my tone hushed. "Like you don't kno

    ~Isabella~ A few months later… “Max stop. We're going to be late for our own ceremony!” I begged, feeling a fire being ignited inside of me. “They should understand that their Alpha and Luna need some intimate time,” he responded, still planting kisses on every part of me that was bare. “Isn't that what the honeymoon is for? And again, we have a lot of time to have sex, why are you rushing?” I chuckled, closing my eyes as I felt him suck at a particular spot, a hickey already in the making. “Yes, according to her, we do have a lot of time to spend together now that we are forever bonded. But trust me, what you'd witness at our honeymoon or in the future is little compared to this,” he chuckled, and stopped, now standing behind me, making me feel how hard he is for me. “It's been so hard to control myself from having you, Isa. So get ready, tonight, you're mine to devour, your legs are to tremble and ache for me. Your lips are to pleasure me and your vocal cords, to sing my name o

I just don't know why she wouldn't take it,” I sobbed, crying on my mate's hand. “Please don't leave me. I really can't do this without you,” I begged, silently praying to the Moon Goddess to also perform a miracle but I waited for five minutes, ten minu

I didn't think she'd be injected with the real poison! I wouldn't dare hurt the Luna, please, believe me!” Jake begged but all for what? All his begs would not bring my Bella back, would it?“Don't bother begging me. Consider your title withdrawn and from now on, you and your whole generation are…” I was cut off by my wolf's painful tone which almost made me bend over and clench my heart in agony.“She's slipping away, Max,” he whispered. “We can't lose her. Not again,” he begged and despite my calm demeanor, sweats were forming on my forehead. I immediately knew science was useless at this point, and I had to find another way to save my mate.“I'll deal with you later,” I hissed at Jake and ordered some of my men to

    Alpha Max's POV “Bella don't,” I quickly warned, my gaze fixed on Jake and Cayden. No matter how I tried to reach him through the mind link, I couldn't. It was like there was a barrier or something. Instead, I requested backup from my men and they reassured me that they would come here soon. “I'll inject myself instead,” I proposed but Luna Irene just shook her head and then chuckled lightly. “It's Bella I want… not you,” she said and motioned to the syringe on the floor. “The pain you’d feel from losing your beloved mate is enough for me,” she added then faced Bella. “Pick it up, Bella,” she said and Bella nodded, bending down and then picking it up. “Luna Irene please,” I started begging. “Don't do this.” I pleaded but it all fell on deaf ears. “If you're trying to stall, know that the timer is ticking,” she chuckled, and it only intensified the pain Bella and I felt since we were already connected. Even Alpha Callum, in his weakened, stroke-like state, could only beg and sh

    Bella's POV As he left the room, I exchanged a worried glance with Max, who seemed to share my concerns about what lay ahead. "I'll handle Louis," Max assured, and I helped him to the bed. Together, we made calls to Peron and his men. We told Peron to be watchful as Louis might vent his anger on anyone or anything and he wasn't exempted. After that, we told the men to watch Louis and hold him if he tried anything stupid. Once we were done, I heard Max wince and although it was faint, my heart still broke knowing he was in pain because of me. Like that wasn't enough, I noticed his shirt was stained with blood and that only meant one thing, his wounds reopened once again because of me. “Max,” I began to sob, seeing him trying to fight the pain. “Let me call the doctor,” I sobbed, about to leave but Dessa stopped me. “There's little the doctor can do, Bella. They need us. His wolf needs us,” she pleaded and I just remained there like a statue. Although I knew it might happen soon,

    Bella's POV Seeing as he was still alive, I called some men. "Take Alpha Callum to the hospital. He needs medical attention." “Yes Luna,” they chanted, taking both my parents away. "You did what you had to do, Bella,” Max coaxed, patting my back and I just wrapped my hands around him.. “I'm sorry,” I cried, apologizing because he almost died, and lost his father because of me. “I'm sorry.” Max, his strength unwavering despite the pain, gently lifted my chin, forcing me to meet his gaze. "You don't have to apologize, Bella. You saved us. I'm grateful that it's finally over and we know the real truth." The mixture of gratitude and concern in Max's eyes offered a reassuring anchor amid the storm of emotions I was facing in me. "Get yourself together. Think about our son, Cayden. He needs his mom," Max urged. Nodding through tears, I took a deep breath, steeling myself for the challenges ahead. Cayden's innocent face flashed in my mind, a reminder that the fight was not just for me

"I'll kill her and there's nothing you,.or anyone would do about it. This foolish girl ruined my life." "Irene stop," I heard Alpha Callum grunt but she wasn't having it. Finally, she spoke, her voice a haunting whisper. "You want to know why, don't you?" Luna Irene's gaze shifted to all those present, her words a chilling revelation. "The truth behind the years of deception and hatred." Max, though injured, stood firm, urging her to reveal the hidden layers of her torment. Luna Irene took a deep breath, as if preparing to expose the deepest recesses of her soul. "It started long before Isabella was born," she began, her eyes reflecting the pain of a buried past. "I was to be mated to another Alpha, the man I loved, the man who stole my heart. But then, circumstances changed." Luna Irene's narrative unfolded lik

All of a sudden, Max and his men rushed in, some went to my dad, and some went to my mom, who was still trying to reach her gun. “What's going on?” My voice broke as I tried to comprehend what was happening. “That was a mistake right? She tried to shoot him instead, right?” I asked, wanting to rush to my mother but Max stopped me, holding me tight, and I immediately burst into tears. “It's a lie! She wouldn't have! She loves me! My mother wouldn't do that!” I yelled crying and hitting Max's chest to let me go and help my mother. “You can't die now, Irene,” I heard my father's voice and I turned around to see him, removing the bullet in her. “She has to know the truth! Bella has to.” He coughed. The world blurred as Max held me firmly, restraining my desperate attempt to reach my mother. Tears streamed down my face, blurring the image of Luna Irene lying

    Bella's POV The hospital room was a sterile cocoon, isolating us from the outside world. Luna Irene, weakened but resilient, squeezed my hands in acknowledgment of the pact we had just made. As the doctor approached, gently urging us to give her some time to rest, Max and I exchanged a knowing glance. "We'll be outside," Max said, standing up and gesturing for me to follow him. Once in the hallway, away from prying ears, Max spoke first. "Bella, I think your mother is right. Callum won't stop until he gets what he wants. We need to plan carefully." My mind raced with conflicting thoughts, torn between the values I held and the harsh reality that demanded action. "I can't believe it has come to this," I murmured, more to myself than to Max. He placed a comforting hand on my shoulder. "Sometimes, circumstances force us to make choices we never thought we'd face. It doesn't define who we are; it's about survival." I nodded, absorbing his words. "We need to act fast, Max. Every momen
