Bella's fated mate Jasper has been away for three months. All Alphas had been summoned by the Lycan king to the battlefield of a war against a neighboring country. Bella anxiously waits for her husband to come back. After 5 years of agonizing wait and yearning, she is finally pregnant. Jasper, her mate, comes back bearing terrible news. Her Alpha father and two brothers died on the battlefield. She couldn't believe that 3 of the most powerful Alphas she knew would have met their death in such a manner. The devastating news broke Bella's heart. They were the only family she knew. She had never met her mother, but her father and brothers raised her and trained her to be the strong Alpha female she was now. Bella couldn't even find support in her cold and distant mate, Jasper. She was used to his cold demeanor, but she thought they were happy together. She could've never imagined she had been living a lie. When she was at her lowest, Sadie, her childhood friend, confessed to her, that she had been Jasper's mistress for 5 years and informed her of their plans to overtake Bella's former pack as well as making Sadie Jasper's new Luna. That's what they want to believe, but they had underestimated Bella and what she was capable of. They will all have to face her wrath and that of an unthinkable ally.
View MoreChad's POV I scrubbed my hands under the harsh stream of water, watching the crimson droplets swirl down the drain, remnants of a tense interrogation fading into nothingness. The North Natbians were attempting to breach our borders, and one of their spies had finally divulged unsettling information. They were on a mission to capture Bella, to deliver her to their king, and every one of them carried her picture, a haunting reminder of the stakes at play. Frustration boiled within me, and I slammed my fist against the wall, the sound echoing like thunder in the sterile room. The realization that he could hold Bella hostage, forcing my hand and sealing Kaladia's fate, ignited a fire of desperation in my chest. “Chad, I know you’re trying to protect Bella, but she needs to understand the peril she’s in,” Dane insisted, his expression taut with concern. "I will talk to her," I snapped, my voice rough with guilt. I hated the thought of burdening her with fear. I felt like I was failing
**Bella's POV** I rummage through the drawer for the fourth time, knowing I left Jasper's letter inside. However, the envelope containing my son’s sonogram is nowhere to be found. I hear Rose’s footsteps approaching, and I turn to face her. "Queen Luna, the team from Lynne Wayne has arrived for your final dress fitting!" Rose announces with enthusiasm. I glance at my Audemars Piguet Royal watch, a recent gift from Chad, and I remind myself that I am finally marrying him and claiming him as my own. Butterflies flutter in my stomach at the thought. "Thank you, Rose. I’ll be there in a few minutes. Make sure to inform the Lunas as well," I instruct firmly. Rose nods and exits. When I step into the spacious fitting room, my friends eagerly await me. "Bella, your dress is absolutely stunning! You definitely have to design my dress too!" Elise declares. “Of course I will,” I reply confidently as the assistant zips up my dress. The skirt sparkles with tiny diamonds, my shoulders bar
Chad's POV It had been weeks since I forced Jasper Holloway to go back to Riverbank's Pack with his mate and daughter. Bella stopped me from killing Jasper, just like I had been itching to do for a long time. Only Bella's intervention and the fact that he has a pup now saved him. Bella did not want a fatherless pup in her conscience. It had been the first time we had fought. I hated every minute of it. I stormed out of my office when Dane mindlinked me. Jasper Holloway had intercepted Bella outside the maternity hospital. She had accompanied Elise for her prenatal checkup. When Dane met them outside, Holloway was practically dragging Bella by the arm. I had given the order to throw him out of the city, and he dared to think he could take Bella away with him. I lost it when I got to the scene. "Get your filthy hands off of my mate!!" I snarled as I lunged at him, claws out and elongated teeth. Cobalt demanded blood, and I was going to deliver. I will paint the Palace's grounds wi
**Camilla's POV** I watched from the shadows as the Lycan roared furiously. That she-wolf, Sadie, had slapped the Princess. Sadie had played a key role in my plan, but I no longer needed her. I made sure her pup never made it out of the ICU. She had to pay for gloating when the Princess lost that wolf's spawn. That pup was born weak anyway, and it was her mother’s fault. She gave me her pup's blood from the womb to create the potion that killed the Princess's pup. It's a shame that the Princess, being too soft-hearted, cured the pup already. She will soon learn that kindness is futile. "Who hurt you?!" the Lycan asked her again, kissing her reddened cheek softly. Even though he touched her with care, I could sense his aura darkening. He was clearly furious yet treated her as if she were made of crystal. "I had a confrontation with Sadie..." The Lycan spun around and moved toward the exit, but the Princess held him back. "Chad is okay, really. I slapped her back." The Lycan seemed t
Bella's POV I passed by the common room on my way out. Elise and Grace were there. Grace looks so much better after giving her the amulet. She has even asked me to be her baby's godmother. Elise is a little bit farther along. I hope their babies can become friends in the future. Lira appeared as well, nursing her baby. "Are you heading out, Bella?" Lira asks. "I'm going to visit Saidie's baby at the hospital. I heard that she's not doing well." Elise stands up, with a protective hand on her belly. "Wait, you're not going alone. I don't like that woman!" She affirms, leaving no room for denial. Just then, Ace comes carrying Tessa, looking alarmed. "Her water broke!" He growls. "I'm fine. We just need to get to the hospital." Tessa tries to calm him down as he darts towards the exit. "I guess we're all going to the hospital," Lira says as she passes her baby to his nanny. "I will text Fort to let him know. I wish I had a mind link as well. " Grace sighs. Tessa i
Bella's POV I lay naked on top of Chad, resting my cheek on his chest, listening to his steady breathing. He caresses my arm lazily with one hand while playing with my hair with the other. I draw circles on his pectorals with my finger. I was a spent and satisfied mess. I sighed with contentment. The bed sheet covers me from the waist down, and Chad lowers his hand to spank my butt playfully. "Hey!" I pouted, lifting my head up. Chad quiets my protests with a kiss. I moaned against his lips, feeling my core clench so ready for him again. Chad grazes his nose softly against my jawline and neck, inhaling my scent. I tremble with pleasure at his touch. "Don't worry; I won't spank you this time." He chuckles, flipping us over and pressing me against the mattress with his body. I locked my legs around his waist, feeling him hardening against my core. If my wetness was not enough evidence, the scent of my arousal was the unashamed proof of what I wanted, of what I needed from him. "
Chad's POV 'Mate' Cobalt nags in my head. 'You made her get upset.' He's been complaining nonstop since I left the palace. "It was for her own protection. She is safe inside the palace." I retorted. I was feeling like a total jerk for leaving her like that. I did not need Cobalt's nagging to make matters worse. My mind wrestled with the many ways I could make it up to her. I arrived with Ace and Trent at the Tavern. Fort and Dane were already here. I was surprised to see Roderick here as well. He was still sporting a bruised and bandaged head. The men rose to their feet when they saw me. I gestured at them to sit down. "You summoned us, my King." Murat, their leader, spoke first. He was an alpha from a neighboring pack. He was fierce and loyal to his people. "I had tried to avoid any further wars with North Natbia. I don't want any more Keladian men perishing on battlefields, leaving widows and orphans in despair. Their Alpha King, though, had other plans. He wants these land
Bella's POV As we walk toward the hospital, I start to debate again whether to tell Chad the truth. Chad has demonstrated to me in many ways that he loves me, and yet I can not bring myself to tell him. My stomach plummets at just the idea of him seeing me differently when he learns that I'm part Witch. The people we encounter bow as we pass by them. Chad, who has been holding my hand, grabs me by the waist instead and kisses the top of my head. "Worrying your little head again? We'll find the Natbians Ma Belle, and I will bring you Hudson's head on a platter." I bite my lip and nod, suppressing these emotions. I hate keeping secrets from him, and I'm terrified of losing him. I step in front of him and throw my arms around his neck. He grabs me by the waist with both hands and lifts me from the floor. I bury my face in his neck. His scent soothes me and makes me feel whole. "Just be careful, Chad... if something happens to you, I won't be able to..." Chad stops my speech as he
Chad's POV Bella puts the towel away and starts brushing her hair. I could hear her heart racing. She's hiding something from me, and Hendrick knows all about it. Why can't she trust me as she trusts him? It takes her a minute to respond, but she does not look me in the eye. "What do you mean? Hendrick killed them, of course." She responds and continues brushing her silky hair. I got up from the bed and took the brush from her. I begin combing her long hair. I notice her uneasiness, and I decide not to pressure her. She will tell me when she's ready. "Don't ever cut your hair," I said, changing the conversation. "It's awfully long now." She chuckled. "I like to wrap it around my wrists when I take you from behind, Ma Petite." She turns crimson red. I open her bathrobe, exposing her perky breasts. I bite my bottom lip at the sight of her paled nipples. "What are you doing?" She giggles. "I wanted to see how deep your blush goes." I knelt in front of her and swirled my
Bella's POV I was dreading to go back to the pack’s hospital, but I hadn’t been feeling well. Dr Janna entered the room again. She had insisted on doing a pregnancy test. “Dr Janna, how is the result today?” I already knew the answer, and I have learned the hard way not to have any expectations. Not to mention that Jasper has been away for three months, summoned to war by the Lycan King, along with all other Alphas. The chances of me being pregnant were null. There is nothing I yearn more in this world than to have a pup, but for five years since I have been mated to my Alpha Jasper, all I ever heard was, ‘not pregnant.’ Each time I hear it, I feel like a permanently embedded knife twists my insides. Barren, the pack members would whispered behind my back, but I can’t stop them. I can’t punish them for telling the truth. I closed my eyes and touched my belly. Willing a child appear inside my womb. How wonderful it would be to quiet down all those gossipers. The whispers won’t fo...
