Come Back With My Baby, My Luna. Chapter 23
Bella's POVIn a split second, his lips landed on my cheek in a soft, lingering peck that sent shivers down my spine. I closed my eyes, savoring the moment, feeling the warmth of his breath against my skin."I believe in you, Isabella," he whispered, his voice sending waves of comfort through me. "And if you let me, I'll be right by your side every step of the way."I opened my eyes to meet his gaze, a mixture of gratitude and something else I couldn't quite decipher. "Thank you, Michael. I don't know what I'd do without you. I really needed this conversation."His fingers brushed a strand of hair behind my ear, his touch gentle yet electrifying. "I wish you'll never have to find out."A small smile tugged at the corners of my lips. "Why am I reacting like this?!" I yelled internally at Dessa. Why don't I want him to stop? Why do I like being close to him?Seeing my flushed reaction, he leaned in again, his lips hovering close to my cheek, his warm breath caressing my skin. "Is it oka

Bella's POVThe entire training area seemed to hold its breath as Alpha Max, Jessica, and my father, the Beta, entered the scene."What is going on here?" My father asked, trying to mask his anger.I wanted to speak, to open my mouth and explain it was an accident but I couldn't. My body and mind froze and I couldn't do anything. Everything in me wanted to step forward and help Selena up but I was paralyzed.Selena on the other hand, stood up and put on her previous pretentious attitude. She walked to me and pulled me into a side hug. "My cousin and I were just sparring a bit. It wasn't something serious, we're fine as you can see. To see you show concern for us fills me with warmth. Thank you." She said with a bow to the people in front of us before whispering to me. "Oh Bella, you're going to regret pushing me! I'll make sure I give you the disgrace of a lifetime before I kill you," she threatened while smiling.My father shot me an angry glare then stepped forward and took Selena t

Bella's POVMy heart raced as I turned to face Alpha Max, desperately searching for a way out of this unexpected confrontation. I tried to steady my voice, feigning innocence, "Oh, I'm sorry, but you must be mistaken. My name is Isabella, and I'm certainly not the person you're looking for."Alpha Max's gaze pierced through me, his sharp eyes seemingly dissecting every word I said. "Don't play games with me, Bella," he growled softly, his tone sending shivers down my spine. "I've been observing you all night. You can't hide from me."Michael's presence beside me was both a comfort and a reminder of the urgency of the situation. I cleared my throat, forcing a nervous smile. "Honestly, I have no idea what you're talking about Alpha. My friend and I were just heading out to get some fresh air. Maybe you've mistaken me for someone else."Alpha Max's lips curled into a half-smile that held no warmth. "You're a terrible liar, Bella. I have a keen sense of smell, remember? Your scent doesn'

Bella's POVMy heart skipped a beat as the young man's words hit me. Michael's girlfriend?Heat crept up my neck, and I could feel my cheeks turning crimson. I glanced at Michael, hoping he would respond quickly and diffuse the awkward situation. Michael leaned back in his chair, a friendly smile on his lips. "Hey, Jake. Good to see you too. This is Bella, a friend."Jake raised an eyebrow, a mischievous grin playing on his lips. "Just a friend? Are you sure about that, man? I've only seen you here with the new chics.""New chics? Is that what he meant by new girlfriend? Did Michael bring me where he brought his previous new girlfriends? What the …" I bit my lip, feeling increasingly uncomfortable and angry. Just before they could say anything more, the waitress arrived with our food and luckily Michael's friend took it as his cue to leave. "Have a nice dinner," he said and left us. "Bella… I…." Michael started but I cut him off with a smile. "Let's just have dinner," I answered i

Bella's POVSelena and Jessica's gazes alternated between Michael and me, curiosity evident in their expressions. Michael pulled away slightly but kept an arm around me."Well?" Selena prodded, raising an eyebrow and crossing her arms.I cleared my throat, my cheeks flushing as I tried to find the right words. "Um,""She's my girlfriend," Michael interjected, his tone steady as he held my gaze. The words hung in the air for a moment, the weight of their meaning sinking in.Jessica's eyes widened, and Selena's jaw practically hit the floor. "Wait, what?" Selena exclaimed, her disbelief evident. "Since when?""Since a while," Michael replied, a touch of defensiveness creeping into his voice. "Really?" Jessica asked again, walking towards me. "Long time no see, Bella. I didn't think I'd see you again after everything that happened."I dragged Michael's hand. "Can we leave?" I whispered."Why are you leaving, Bella? Scared your boyfriend and cousin will find out the truth about you? Is s

Bella's POVAs I stood at the entrance of the grand palace, bathed in the soft glow of the moonlight, my heart raced. The heavy wooden doors of the palace seemed to loom over me as if they held the answers to the questions swirling in my mind."I'm scared, Dessa. What if she has told them about it? What would I say? How would I explain myself?""Take a deep breath, Bella. Let's go in first, and see their reactions first. I'm with you."Taking a deep breath, I pushed the doors open and stepped inside. To my surprise, the bustling activity in the palace continued as if nothing had changed. The palace staff moved about with their usual grace, attending to their duties. The laughter and chatter of guests and family echoed through the corridors.As I made my way through the halls, no one cast me strange looks or avoided my gaze. Instead, familiar faces greeted me with warm smiles and kind words, as if the encounter with Jessica and Selena never happened.I didn't want to confront anyone,

Bella's POV"Alpha Max? Why do you want me to speak to him?" I couldn't help but ask, my curiosity getting the better of me.Selena leaned back, her fingers tracing patterns on her bedspread as she explained, "You see, Bella, I've had my eye on Alpha Max for a while now. I find him intriguing, and I believe he has potential, not just as a leader but in other aspects as well."I frowned, trying to make sense of what Selena was saying. "What do you mean by 'other aspects'?"Selena's smile turned sly. "Let's just say that my interest in Alpha Max goes beyond the realm of acquaintances. I want to get closer to him, and I believe you can help me with that since you've worked with him before.""You want him as your suitor?" I asked and she nodded. My mind whirled with the implications of Selena's request. She wanted me to act as an intermediary between her and Alpha Max, to facilitate a connection. But why me? What would Alpha Max even think of this? His mate coming to talk to him about ano

Bella's POV"Just a little kick and you're squirming on the floor?" One of the girls teased, while the others laughed at me.My desperate whisper barely reached Michael's ears, but I hoped it was enough to snap him out of his trance. Once again, I shut my eyes as another wave of pain shot through my entire body system."What happened?" I heard Michael ask urgently, his voice filled with worry and I opened my eyes to see him a few inches from me. He knelt beside me, his strong hands gently supporting me as I struggled to sit up."We were just sparring when I mistakenly hit her on her stomach. We thought she was pretending," the girl who kicked me lied."The baby," I whispered into his ears.Michael's eyes widened in shock and horror as he realized what just happened. Without another word, he carefully lifted me into his arms, cradling me gently.I managed a weak smile despite the pain coursing through me. "I'm sorry... for everything," I whispered, tears brimming in my eyes.Michael's

Come Back With My Baby, My Luna. EPILOGUE
~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

Alpha Max’s POVI didn't know how long I was out but I found myself pushed to the bare ground by the water current. I opened my eyes, scanning my surroundings to know if I was in the afterlife or the mortal realm, and to my surprise, I was in the mortal realm.Did she not take my life to save Bella's?“Moon goddess?” I called out over and over again but no response was heard and it broke my heart to see that she deceived me. “At least she gave me a few moments to spend with my mate,” I sighed, grabbing myself up, changing into my wolf then dashing to the woods till I arrived at the hospital in my soaked attire.Arriving at Bella's room, I sat beside her, grabbing her hands and caressing them slowly. “I'd give my life for you, Bella. 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

Alpha Max's POV“You lied, didn't you?!” I growled, squeezing his jaw with so much intensity I could feel him straining to break free to avoid having a broken jaw. “She's getting worse!” I spat, tossing his head back, not caring if it hit the tree or not.“Alpha I swear! 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
Come Back With My Baby, My Luna. Chapter 186
Bella's POV Max, blood staining his side from the earlier gunshot, stood defiant. "I won't let you harm her, Irene." "Shut up!" She fired at him when we weren't looking. "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

Bella's POV “Bella run,” he choked, with blood all over but I was too shocked to move an inch. Did my mom just try to kill me? 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
Come Back With My Baby, My Luna. Chapter 184
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
