Bellona PovSlight movements behind me and on top of me made me wake up, and I knew who it was.“Dean, Archie, let momma sleep,” I whine, hugging my pillow.“Mommy, wake up,” Archie said, dragging me, but I held on to my pillow tighter. No way am I going to allow them to wake me, not when I don’t feel like standing up. Besides, my pillow is so comfortable. Firm and warm.“Mommy,” Dean called, and they both started dragging me. I frowned, holding my pillow tight. Then suddenly I heard a deep manly chuckle, a chuckle that sent shivers down my spine, and I suddenly remembered that I didn’t sleep alone with the boy’s last night.“I didn’t know this is how you wake up every day,” Silver said, sounding amused, and I prayed in my mind, hoping he was not the pillow I was hugging. I slowly opened my eyes, and it left me disappointed as I wrapped my arms around him and our legs tangled up. I look up and he was looking down at me amused, talk about embarrassing. I quickly let go of him and arran
Bellona PovWe are finally done eating, and I just finished dressing up. Silver left after eating and he seems like the doesn’t want to go, but he had to. After hugging the boys, of course, they also looked like they would miss his company. Well, soon everything will be alright. Dean and Archie are already having their lesson and I just left the mansion, heading to my office. Instead of teleporting, I walked, just to look around the pack. Everyone seemed happy to see me. They were greeting and bowing and I just smiled at them. I got to my office and Daniel, Axel, and Silver were there. Before I could get to them, Axel was already embracing me in a tight hug.“I never thought I would miss you this much,” he said, his arms wrapped around my neck. I could feel a pang of jealousy and anger coming from Silver, but it went quickly as it came. I laughed, hugging him back.“Are you sure you miss me or the fact you are no longer in charge of the kingdom?” I asked. He chuckled, then he pulled b
Bellona PovIt has been two weeks since we came back and so far, so good. Things have been peaceful, and there have been no attacks. Silver has been bonding with both Dean and Archie and I can proudly say he is their new favorite person. They always look forward to their boys’ day out and I think it’s cute they get all hyper. Silver is an amazing father, and I didn’t expect less from him. He loves pups. Archie has not asked the big question. I don’t know if I should break the news to him myself and also unannounced or I should wait for him to get so curious to finally burst the question. I have to do one, but for now he is having fun, so I will just keep it to myself for a while. Another thing I noticed about Silver is he doesn’t enjoy going home. The beta king quarters is probably the most boring and quiet place to live. I always encourage him to go home and see his family, but anytime I say that, he ignores me. I appreciate him for seeing Archie and being an amazing father to him
Bellona PovHe kissed me angrily while my eyes widened in shock. When I didn’t return the kiss, he carried me up, making me wrap my legs around him. He nibbles on my bottom lips and I thought; you know what? Fuck everything. I wrap my arms around his neck, kissing back with equal passion. We both battle for the spot of dominance with a tongue, a battle which he won. My back is on the wall as he protects my bum with his hand. After devouring each other’s lips, he pulled back and stared at me with hooded eyes. “I love you,” he said, still staring at me. I gulped, knowing I can’t say it back. She is still his mate. “I u.um…” I trailed off awkwardly. He chuckled.“One day,” he said, putting me down. I adjust my shirt. I am not wearing much since I planned on shifting too. He took my hand in his and dragged me to the living room. “Can we go now?” Archie asked, eager. Silver chuckled, leaving my hand and carrying him.“Sure, let’s go,” he said. I smiled and carried Dean. I know Silver lo
He turned back.“Are you sure?” he asked. “Yes,” I said, walking to my room. He followed behind me while I headed to the closet.“So, I have some baggy clothes you can wear to sleep,” I said, bringing out my black joggers. I also brought out my night wear, then I turned around and gave him the joggers.“You can bathe, then I will bathe after you,” I said. “Okay,” he replied, collecting the joggers, then he walked to the bathroom. I went to the kitchen to eat something. I am not hungry, but I just feel like eating something. I opened the fridge and brought out one apple. I wash the apple while munching on it quietly. I remembered what happened today and my curiosity about seeing the pup was rising. Is Silver really not the owner of the pup? If I see her, I would know if she belongs to Silver, but Silver said he doesn’t feel any connection with her. Usually male wolves feel the bond with the pup, in and out of the mother’s stomach because of their inner wolf. So now, Silver doesn’t fe
Bellona PovA loud boom woke me up from my sleep. I sat up and looked around, alert. We were still in the night. I heard another boom and this one louder than the first. The alarms went off, shit we are under attack.“Silver, wake up!” I yelled, running to the closet. I went through my clothes and just wore a random shirt and joggers. I teleported to Dean and Archie’s room and they were awake. They looked scared, though. “What’s going on?” Dean asked. “It’s alright” I said, carrying them both to the secret bunker in their room. “Stay here. Don’t come out or open the door for anybody apart from me. Do you understand?” I asked. They nod their head, a little scared and confused. I kissed their heads and locked the bunker, they can breathe in fine. I sealed the handle with my fire. Anyone apart from me and Silver who touch this are going to be badly burnt. I teleported to the border and my eyes widened in shock. There were rogues and vampires everywhere. I could see some warriors fight
Bellona Pov“The annual ball is coming up,” he said. I breathe out, slamming my forehead. How can I forget such a thing? The annual ball ceremony is when all supernaturals gather, it’s the supernatural elders that organize it. This is when most kings and queens form allies. That is where I met the fae king and queen, the fairies and the witches. I remember my first ball three years ago. My coronation was like 3 weeks old. Everyone wanted to meet me. They wanted to know the person who stopped that war and I am sure some were quite surprised to know it was just a small girl. If I was to calculate my age forgetting I was born again, I should be like 19 or 20 years old, so it was a shock for them. Well, I carried myself with lots of grace and elegance. That is why king Orion was attracted to me. The fucker thought he could bewitch me with his vampire spell, but I proved him wrong. The ball was quite hard for me because I was younger than most of them, so they didn’t really want to tak
Bellona PovWe all stare at Anastacia, confused. I had so many thoughts running through my head, but the dominant one is how big of a fool I am. I let this cunning woman come in between my mate and I, so it was all a plan, a plan to deceive me and take me away from the thing I cherished the most. A loud, angry growl cut me out of my thoughts. I watched as Silver ran to her, his claws wrapped around her neck tightly. I just stood there watching him as he choked her to death. She was turning all shades of blue, but I didn’t move an inch because deep down I wanted her to be punished like that.“I can’t believe this. All this while, you deceived me and rubbed me off my time with the people I love. All for your selfish interest! Of course, moon goddess can never pair me with you because she knows you are a disgusting piece of shit!” he yelled, tightening his hold. She struggled with him while Ria started crying.“He is going to choke her to death,” Axel said, carrying Ria out of my arms an
Five Years LaterBellona Pov“Hayden!” I yelled, running around the house. I heard soft footsteps running around the dinning.“We do not have time for this. The ball is in a few hours!” I yelled, running around the dinning. I saw Hunter running to the hallway, but before he could move, I froze him. Then I turned around, and I saw Hayden and I also froze him. I breathed out in relief, walking to Hayden and Silver came inside with Dean. “They are not dressed yet?” he asked, shocked. He and Dean left us like 2 hours ago to make sure things were okay in the ballroom. He thought when he came back they would be dressed, but those two are the most energetic pups ever. Archie was not even that troublesome, but these two always make sure to keep me on my toes.“They have been running around since,” I said, carrying Hayden.“I don’t want to celebrate my birthday,” he whined.“Well, you have to. That is why you are a prince,” I said.“No birthdays,” he said, trying to sneak out of my arms.“Hayd
Third Person PovThe breeze blows gently against the high walls of the werewolf kingdom, the soft rain beating down the earth gently. It was a full moon tonight and everyone was in their homes, cuddled up with their mates and families. The night has been a long night for the people staying close to the palace as their queen has gone into labor since early morning. Everyone is worried and anxious as the queen cries of labor bounced off the palace walls. Werewolves’ births don’t usually take this long, but she has been in labor for more than 12 hours and, as each hour goes by, her screams are becoming more painful and filled with agony. Asher, Lillian and the pups are outside of the ward, and they are all pacing nervously. She has been in labor since and none of the child has come out, when the pain became unbearable for her Misha appeared. It’s like she just knew her struggles and she has been here since, helping her with the childbirth.“Why is it taking so long?” Bellona breathes
Third Person PovIt’s been a few hours since the war happened in the vampire kingdom and they are yet to be back. The time should be around 6 in the morning. Silver and the pups had freshened up, and Lillian cooked for them. They are waiting for Octavia to come back but Silver is itching to tell her about Asher but he can’t because she has to see him herself. She asked of Zira but he told her she was with Axel. He wondered what her reaction would be to Asher, but Silver knew it wouldn’t be good. “Why are you acting weird?” Lillian asked for the 100th time, looking at Silver puzzled. She noticed her brother has been pacing away quite a lot and also stealing glances at her.“I am not,” he replied. “Why are you looking at me weird, then? Is Zira okay?” she asked, looking at him. Silver shook his head, and Lillian cursed herself. She should have just followed them to the war, but Octavia didn’t allow her. She didn’t even allow her near the conference room when they were discussing the w
Trigger Warning almost at the end of the chapter!Third Person Pov“Missed me?” he asked, the familiar smirk still on his face. Bellona could not believe her eyes, no she refused to believe what she was seeing. I must be dreaming, she thought, pinching herself hard, hard enough to sting her to the bone, but she was not waking up from the dream. She closed her eyes, hoping they were not playing tricks on her, but when she opened it, he was still standing in front of her.“Asher,” she whispered, her voice filled with shock. The last time she saw him was in the cell and the next thing she heard of him was he was dead. Was he alive all this while? But she noticed another thing. He has changed, his hair is darker and longer. His ears are longer and sharp, he is taller and muscular. What shocked her was the giant black wings behind him. Instead of hands, he had claws and two long and fat horns sitting by the two angles of his head. His aura is also dark, like death, and when she smelled him,
Bellona PovIt has been 6 days since the death of Daniel. After Lillian was done with him, the warriors burnt his body and I think everyone respects Lillian better now. Well, that is the thing about us. To earn respect, you have to prove it and Lillian has proven herself of that respect. I did not tell Silver about his last words because I feel it’s irrelevant. He is already dead, so it’s better everyone move on from the betrayal and I think we all did because nobody is talking about him again. I stand in front of the mirror, looking at myself. The time is 4 ‘0 clock in the evening and we are about to move because we plan on attacking them in the night. Am I happy about this attack? Yes, I am. And why am I happy? Because in a few hours time I am going to kill a certain king and I don’t care how it will affect our kingdoms, he bit more than he can chew so he should expect the consequences.“We are waiting for you,” Silver voice cut me out of my thoughts. “Can you help me with this am
Bellona Pov“Yes, Daniel is a spy working for Malcom,” she said. My mouth hung opened in shock. Daniel? A spy? That can’t be possible.“Misha, are you sure? Daniel has been working for me for a long time,” I said. “He is working for you and also not working for you. He is part of the men that were working for Marcus. His loyalty lies with him,” she said. I tried to think of one time Daniel’s behavior was suspicious, but I can’t even think of one. He always seems like the protective big brother, but he has been betraying me all this while? My mouth opened and closed and no words came out. But I wanted to know something.“He also knew about the kidnapping?” I asked, feeling betrayed.“Yes, part of the people who suggested it,” she said, and my heart broke into pieces. This is the ultimate betrayal. I cared for him and treated him like a brother. I gave him whatever he asked of me, as long as he asked, but how could he betray me like this and he did it so well I didn’t even suspect him
Bellona PovWe entered her hut and took our seats in her special room. She sat in front of us and looked at Silver.“Glad to finally meet you,” she said, bowing a little. We both look at her. She doesn’t know him before. She must have just heard of him. “Glad to meet you too,” Silver said politely. She smiled.“Do you want to see your pups?” she asked. “Yes, we will love to,” I said. “Okay, face the mirror, ‘’ she said. I faced the blank mirror, and she flicked her arm and they appeared in the mirror. I smiled as I looked at the three of them. They are sitting on the bed, playing. They are surrounded by so many toys and they look healthy. I breathe out, relieved. They are perfectly okay and I can’t even see any injury to them.“Told you that picture was fake. They don’t even look like someone kidnapped them. They look so relaxed,” I said, smiling happily.“Your pups have been raining hell on them, especially Archie,” Misha said, and my smile widened. I expected nothing less from the
Bellona PovIt has been three days since I got back and not much has changed but today, however; I am on a mission to find Misha. The seal is enchanted, so if she can help me get the location, that would be awesome. Then I will get my pups and also rain hell on Orion. That plan sounds simple, but I know it’s not. I just hope Misha won’t start with her ridiculous game. I am a pregnant woman, so I hope that will stop her.“You ready?” Silver voice cut me out of my thoughts. I adjusted my gown, would have preferred to wear trousers, but I am bloated so nope.“Yes,” I said, walking out of the closet.“So, will your witch friend find the seal?” he asked. “Yes,” I replied.“How long have you known her for?” he asked, taking something off the wall.“Thousands of years? What is that?” I asked, looking at the iron log he pulled from the wall.“It’s a sword,” he said, bringing it out of the iron case. I looked at the sword, it looks lightweight and small, but the blades are looking incredibly
Bellona PovI chuckled, looking at him.“Me? Why would he want me after I turned him down millions of times and I think we all know I can’t just be tamed,” I said, rolling my eyes.“That is what I thought, until he sent this,” he said, giving me a picture. I looked at it and it was the pups. They were tied up in a chair and three vampires with long canines were beside them. I looked at their faces and it was red and swollen, like they had been crying. They were also bloody like they had been beaten. But something about this picture doesn’t add up. “This is quite interesting,” I said, looking at the picture. I can feel shocked faces on me. I looked at Zira and her eyes were blue, but I knew it is red. Archie can’t be tied up. He has powers and I know he can defend himself. Dean looks beaten and worn out and his eyes look bigger and red in tears, but the Dean I know has smaller eyes and he won’t cry outside no matter what someone does to him. I rolled my eyes, burning the picture.“Why
