Chapter 4
With tears in her eyes, Iris crawled her way to her clothe, slip it on before limping out of the room.
She wiped the tears and tried to act as if nothing happened, but she couldn’t hide her limp.
“Did you get a good fuck out of him?” She knew that voice.
She turned around to see Athena sneering at her.
“What do you want?” She snapped.
“I already told you to give up on my son and look for you own mate, the poor soul will be out there thinking he would be blessed with a chaste wolf.
“He won’t know you are here, busy throwing yourself at my son, like the whore you are.”
Iris tightened her fist, she so desperately want to hit this woman across her cheek, but she know Lucas so well.
He won't take it lightly with her.
"I won't stay here one more time and let you insult or walk over me," she turns around to leave, when Athena next word made her halt.
“You will be nothing but a mean for him to release all his pent-up desires, you can never be his mate.
“He would throw to the dogs once he finds his real mate, I would love to see you hold your head high then.”
The left corner of Athena’s lip lifts in a cynical smile, she walked away, making sure to bump her shoulder on Iris’s.
To say Iris was shocked would be an understatement, she picked up the hem of her dress, not minding the pain in between her leg, she ran the rest of the distance to her room.
She closed the door and walked to the mirror to stare at her reflection.
Undoubtedly, she was the most beautiful woman in Death crawler pack, and the most beautiful in the whole of Toronto.
"You will never be his mate," Athena voice rang in her ear
"Arrgg," the sound of the mirror shattering filled the room.
“I don’t care if he my mate or not, I will have him at all costs.’
She paced around the room, different thought running through her head.
’Lucas is mine, and mine alone. I will kill anyone that tries to get their claws on him or try to take him away from me,” her eyes turn black.
’Including you Athena,’ her chest heaved. ’I will kill you with my hand if I have to.’

BH hospital, Toronto.
’Some should get Doctor Bella, this patient is losing much blood,’ someone screamed from a ward.
The whole hospital seems to be in disarray, as different screams and yelling fill up the place. The rapid beeping of machine filled the ears of every individual waiting in the hallway.
While some were waiting to hear either good or bad news from the doctors, some were wailing so hard, with people trying to comfort them.
The sound of feet padding around the hall in a hurry became a normal thing to everyone on the hospital.
This has been going on for a week now, the doctors were doing their best to save as many as they were capable of saving.
’Where is doctor Bella?’ the same voice asked again.
’Kevin,’ Bella soft voice called. ’What is the matter?’ she asked.
’I have been trying to stop her bleeding for a while now, it just won’t stop,’ Kevin groan.
Bella moved to the patient side, she was about to say something, when her scent hit her.
She looked down at the patient, and knew at once that she is wolf, buy she couldn’t place what pack she belongs to.
’Leave us,’ she ordered.
’Are you sure? don’t you need our help with anything?’ Kevin narrowed his eyes at her.
’I will be fine Kevin, I can’t have the two of us here when there are others who would need your help,’ she stared at him.
’Go, I will be fine here,’ she assured him.
He threw his hand in the air, huffing.
’I can never win when it comes to you,’ he said with a pout, before walking out.
She smiled at his childishness and walked over to the door. Once she was sure he is gone, she shut the door tightly, before walking back to the wolf side.
’What is your name?’ Bella asked.
’Mira,’ she whispered.
’Okay Mira, I need you to tell me what happened?’ she asked.
’I don’t know, they were so fast and it was so sudden,’ Mira explained, a little out of breath.
’What do you mean?’ she frowned.
’They attacked our pack without any notice, we weren’t prepared for it, they were so brutal,’ she sobbed.
Bella pull her into a hug, comforting her.
’They killed both the old and young ones without sparing anyone, I was lucky enough to escape but not without sustaining this injury.’
’Why are you not healing?’ she looked down at the wound that still refuse to close up.
’I don’t know, I think they are using something on us, that is preventing us from healing.’
’I am going to inject you so you can sleep, while I run different test on you to know what they use to keep you from healing.’
Mira nod her head.
Bella moved away from her, and open a little door that was in the ward. She stepped in for a few minutes, before walking out with an injection in her hand.
''I don't have to assure you it won't hurt, because I know you won't even feel it,'' she stepped closer to Mira, pushing the tip of the needle into the side of her neck.
''When will I fall asleep?'' Mira asked.
''You should fall asleep right now,'' she stared down, and found her already sleeping.
She got to work, checking all her vitals, and examining the wound for traces of silver, but found none.
She drew a little blood out of her and tested it herself. She didn’t want to risk putting the humans in danger, by letting them know about her and her kind
The blood analyser pinged, and she pull out the sample, she drops a little on a clean slate, before placing it under the microscope.
What she saw made her jump away from it at once
“Cursed oil,” she whispers.
Chapter 5Bella prepared an antidote for Mira, she walked into her ward, and with utmost care, she injects it into her system.She watches as the wound begin to heal slowly, until the sound of her phone pulls away her attention.She stared at the screen, to see it was an unknown number. She ignores it at first, but the number called again.She answered it, getting ready to give the caller a piece of her mind, when a gruff voice begins to speak.She listened for a few minutes, her forehead creasing into worry line, her eyes grow wider by each minute, and her lip trembled.She finally pulled the phone away from her ear, her body still shaking. She looked at sleeping Mira once again, before walking out of the ward.She grabbed the first nurse she came across.“Where is Doctor Kevin?” She asked the nurse, who seem a little bit taken back by her behaviour.“He is in the emergency unit ma’
Chapter 6 “What are you talking about?” Kevin asked, his eyes widened. “I know this is so sudden, but I have prepared you for this kind of situation right from the start,” she stared at him. “You know that isn’t what I am talking about, Bella,” he stared back at her. “What will happen to us?” he asked. “How do you want me to cope?” “Kevin-,” “Don’t tell me you didn’t think about us when you made your decision?” “Kevin,” she whispered. “I’m so sorry.” “You have to understand that I don’t have a say in this matter,” she paused. “My hands are tied here.” “Don’t tell me you don’t have a choice. Everyone does,” Kevin yelled. “Kevin!” she snapped at him. “If I had a choice, I would choose to stay here, because I can’t bear to leave everything I have built for years. “But you have to believe me when I tell you I have no choice but to return home.” “Bella…” “I can only promise you that on
Chapter 7_EARLIER_“What news do you have for me?” Lucas asked, his eyes darted over the men in front of him.“Alpha-,” Carlos was saying when he was interrupted.“Don’t tell me you still haven’t caught this female rogue?” he glared at him.“No! I mean yes,” Carlos said.“We tried everything in our power to catch her, but it seems she just disappeared into thin air.”“What do you mean she disappeared?“I mean, we can’t find her anymore; her scent is gone, and her trails are dead. We can’t find anything that would make us know where she is or where to look for her.”“And you didn’t deem it fit to tell me what is going on?”“I am so sorry alpha, we wanted to see if she would show up again, so we didn’t want to give you unconfirmed news.”“When did you notice her trai
Chapter 8The slamming of the door made Lucas know that Iris already left his room, he rubs his hand over his face.His wolf had been acting weird since he woke up, he knew he was grumpy, but he couldn't place his finger on why he is so angry.Everything seems to offend him, he looked down at the speech for the opening of the new hotel and his eyes dimmed."What is wrong with you?" He snapped at his wolf.The stupid mutt snorted and continue with his rampage in his head. He shoves down all the documents on his table and turns away from it.He pulled on a black shirt and walked out of his bedroom, ignoring Cruz who was trying to catch up with him.His hand crossed at his back; he made his way down the spiralling staircase to the fifth floor of the castle.The guards pushed the door open, and he stepped out in a fast stride. The urge to shift surges through him and without waiting to take off his clothes, he starts
Chapter 9"What just happened?" Bella asked herself.She had no explanation except for the fact that everything that had been happening around her is crazy."We can't be mate," she blurted out. "This has to be a mistake.""And why is that?" He asked in an impeccable voice"Because..." She trails off.What excuse did she have aside from the fact that he was her sworn enemy, there was absolutely nothing she could use as an excuse."Because we are sworn, enemies?" Lucas inquired, raising his brows at her and she gasp."I know that already," he glared at her."And oh! Not once since you leave did, I forget what you did, nor will I ever forgive you for it.""Alpha?" Someone called behind him.He turns his head to see Ramos standing behind him, he looked conflicted as if he didn't know what to do at the moment."Why are you here?" He snapped at the man."Luna asked me to bring miss Bella to the pack
Chapter 10Athena stared into space; she couldn't get Bella's word out of her head. She had thought he hated her because she sent him away from the pack.What she didn't know is that he hated her before then._EARLIER_"You didn't know he hated you back then?" Bella had asked."I had no idea, I thought he hated me for sending him away," she exclaimed."I don't know what happened between the two of you, but I know Lucas hated you since he was a little boy.”"Did he tell you why he hated me?" Athena asked."He told me one night and that was the last time he ever mention it."What did he say?" She asked."He was angry because you did not even try to save him from his father's wrath," Bella began."As a young boy that was suffering so much, he wanted to feel loved, and he craved his mother's warmth. But he didn't get any of this from both his parents."And then you would get him dressed, saying swe
Chapter 11“How did she take it?” Landon asked when his wife walked into the house.Reina had tears in her eyes, she had been crying since she went to see Bella.She still remembers all her conversations with her.“What happened Reina, what did you say to each other?” Landon shook his wife who wouldn’t stop crying“What happened Reina!? Why are you crying?” His mind went blank at once, and terrible thoughts run through his mind.“Did something bad happen to her? Is she alright?” He roams her face, and she nods her head negatively.“Talk to me, what did you talk about and why are you crying?”Reina slipped to the ground; she clutches the hem of her dress tighter as her sob rack through her.“You are scaring me,” Landon muttered, he wanted to stop her from crying, but he didn’t even know what caused it.“She hates us,” Re
Chapter 12Bella pulled Elena close to her, engulfing her in her arm, and the two of them cried on each other's shoulder.She couldn't believe Elena will still be alive till today, she had seen first has the terrible thing the rogue did you her and everyone thought she would die.It was not one of the reason why she wanted to be a doctor all along."You are still alive?" Elena cried, and Bella shook her head on her shoulder."I am still alive," she sniffed."I can't believe I was in a coma for two years," she rasped. "I woke up a month after you left, and you can't imagine my surprise when I was told you left."What happened? Why did you leave?""It's a long story," Bella said, as the memories assault her all over."Good thing I have all the time in the world," Elena smiled.Bella pulled away from the hug, and stared at her."I can't believe you survived it," she cooed, her eyes glistening with new tears."I also didn
Chapter 27Bella walked into her office and open the door to her secret laboratory, she was starting to forget the reason why she came here in the first place. Her heat was getting in the way of her mission and the fact that she was mated to a powerful alpha like Lucas didn’t help her matter at all.When she heard that rogues are attacking the castle already, it was as if a redundant switch was flicked on in her head, and the guilt that she had neglected her reason for being here just because Lucas made her feel things she never felt before.She turned on the light and walked into the middle of the lab with a recorder in her hand. Picking up a syringe, she pull the sleeve of her coat back and draw out enough blood which she intended to test and see ways she could make it into a cure that could be injected into the body of a wolf. This way, the cure would fight against the curse oil once they come in contact with it.Putting on the recorder, she dropped a few drops of her blood on a
Chapter 26Lucas continue to press himself to her back, letting her feel the hard imprint of his cock through his pant.“You have been crawling into your bed, spreading that leg of your and playing with your clit each night just to drive me crazy right?”Bella swallowed hard, she didn’t imagine he would corner her into her office like this, after trying to escape him for two weeks.“I haven’t been doing anything of such, Lucas.” She cleared her throat. “Yes, I have been crawling into my bed to pleasure my bed, but it had nothing to do with you.”Lies. It has everything to do with him.“Then why do you keep screaming my name every time you rub the sensitive little cunt of yours?”“Because I have no names to call… would you have preferred I call your beta’s name?”He growled and wrapped his hand around her throat even tighter, his nails digging into her hip.“Don’t test me Bella, or I might just have to fuck you right here in your office and watch you scream so loud that everyone here w
Chapter 25 Two weeks later ^^^^^^^^ Lucas walked into the hospital, his hand crossed behind him, his face stern as he took the stairs two at a time. “Alpha,” the nurse at the front desk greeted. He ignored her greeting. “Where is Bella?” she pointed at the theatre and he stalked his way there. Without knocking, he walked into the room and different heads turned to look at him. His gaze was trained on the woman who ignored his presence like plague. Lucas knew Bella was trying to piss him off by acting as if he didn’t exist, she was well aware of him with the way her body tensed and she paused momentarily before continuing with her stitching. “Bella,” he called and she looked up at him. “Outside, now.” “I am busy Lucas,” she took her eyes away from his and looked down at the patient she is stitching up. “I won’t repeat myself Bella,” without another word, he turned around and walked into her office on the top floor. Bella sighed, she turned to Elena. “Finish up the stitching,
Chapter 24Lucas watched Iris carefully from his seat, his gaze pinned her and she shifted on her feet.What could he possibly ask her to come here to do if he didn't ask her to come just so he could have his wicked ways with her?She had been standing in one position for the past 30 minutes and Lucas was yet to ask her to take off her clothes and she dare not take it off herself.“Why did you lie about Bella, Iris?”The question took her aback, she didn't expect to be asked such a question when she had purposely primed herself up just to please Lucas and satisfy him.“I don't understand you Alpha?”Lucas gaze dimmed as he stared at her even more.“Why did your report 10 years ago say that Bella slept around with the pack wolves when I only just deflowered her hours ago?”Iris heart skipped beat at his words, the only part she could hear clearly is that Lucas slept with Bella last night when she could not sleep a wink, wondering why he was suddenly drifting away from her. She curled h
Chapter 23Lucas stared at Bella as she slept soundly on his bed, he sighed and rub his hand over his face.Being confused was an understatement, he still couldn't get over the fact that she had been a virgin until few hours ago.His mind wander back to the event that happened 10 years ago.^^^^^^^“Are you sleeping around now?” His father loud voice had resonated in his ears and he remained impassive.If there was something that infuriates his father so much, it would be his ability to hide his emotion so well and not feel pain whenever he is being tortured.Alpha Colton extended a claw and ripped off chunks from his skin which healed instantly.“I heard you slept with my beta's/right hand man's daughter?” That seems to snag his attention as he looked up at his father.What the hell is the old man saying now? He knew his father had only one beta and his mind refuse to believe he was talking about Bella.They had been nothing but friends and he would never try to get under her skirt,
Chapter 22He was pumping at a fast speed as she panted and moan and move against his fingers. Her mouth hung open, trying to get enough air into her lung.She thrusted her hip forward and ride his fingers as they keep pummelling her tight hole. "That's it, Bella, ride my fucking fingers!"He leaned down and bit one of her breasts which caused her to cry out, he added another finger, making it four fingers that were now pumping away inside her, stretching me to an unbearable stage. She wonder if his cock was that large and how much more she can take, one hand was fondling her breast while he continued to suck and bite her nipple. Slowly and sensually, his tongue would lick around her nipple. Bella felt herself getting closer to the edge, she moved her hips up to meet his fingers thrust for thrust. Her knee shook with the pleasure coursing through her, her core creaming so much that she feared her body would not take it."That's it, Bella, cream over my fingers."She was so close to
Chapter 21What the fuck just happened? Lucas stared at the woman beneath him, his face squeezed in a frown.She had tears in her eyes as she looked at him, her face twisted in pain.“Bella,” he called, but she turns her face away from him and he sighed. He pulled out of he and his eyes widened when he saw the blood.She couldn’t be… he shook his head in disbelief. Iris had told him she was sleeping around and a lot of guys had testified to it.Her face was still twisted, and he cursed himself for not being gentle. He cupped her face and turn her to look at him.“How is it possible?” Even his voice sounded strange to him.“It’s possible because you are my first Lucas, I haven’t been with any man before, not even my human boyfriend.”“I don’t understand,” he mumbled.“Why?” She chuckled sadly. “Because your little mistress told you that I had been whoring around the pack or because she had a lot of her fuck mate testify against me?”She tried to get up from the bed but ended up wincing
Chapter 20A devious smile played on her lip as she watches him carefully.“Are you sure you want me to tell you what I want?” she asked with a smirk.“Did you come here just to tease me?” he glared at her and she chuckled.“Patience Lucas… patience,” she trails her hand over his chest and stops over the hem of his pant.“Bella,” he growled, he didn’t have the time to stand here and let her tease him.“Okay, okay… I know you call Iris to bed only when you are horny, it doesn't go both ways.” She paused. “I know that is what you are offering, but I don’t want that.”He frowned. "what do you want then?”“I want to be in charge,” she whispered. “I want to be the one to call the shots not you.”“Why should I agree to that?” He crosses his hand over his chest.“I know you, Lucas,” she leans closer to him. “I know the reason why you want this; you want to feel in charge, you want me to submit myself to you.”“I will submit myself to you only during the day and at night, I get to call all th
Chapter 19Lucas watches as his men trained in their wolf form, they growled and clawed at each other to his satisfaction. His eyes drifted away from the field to the top floor of the hospital; he knew she was watching him just like he had been watching her every day.He could barely hold on to his patience any longer, his wolf wants to mark her and it was only a matter of time before he loses his shit and marked her without her consent.How can a woman be so infuriating to such an extent? He wondered.His gaze didn't move away from her, he wanted her to know and feel his gaze pinned on her."Alpha," Carlos moved forward with his head bowed."Is there something wrong?" he didn't let his gaze move away from his target."The men are done with their practice," Carlos chose his words carefully, not wanting to end up on his bad side today."They are waiting for your next instruction," he concluded.Reluctantly, Lucas took his gaze away from Bella's and survey the face of his men.Most of
