Just a little twist. ☆
Chad's POV When Dane mindlinked me, I dropped everything I was doing, and I ran to the clinic. Fucking Jasper has gotten too comfortable around my palace. Dane briefed me on every single detail that transpired between Bella and that bastard. 'Find out who granted Jasper permission to see Bella's medical records.' I mindlinked Dane as I felt my aura roll out of me. I released it all out before Cobalt took over and went looking for blood. Once I make Bella my wife, Holloway won't dare to come near her. I will have every right to kill him if he ever does. Everyone scurried away as I made my way through the halls of the clinic. I didn't have to ask where she was. Her scent and the pull that she had on my blood took me straight to her. I opened the door to where she was, and I found her curled on the hospital bed. "Chad!" She let out a sigh of relief. "He went through my hospital records! He thinks he is above everything and anyone! I can't stand him anymore. Why did the Goddess m
Bella's POV I lay on my bed, rubbing my stomach. The last sonogram shows my baby's perfect little face. He was sucking one of his little fingers. I was still shaking and fuming for the invasion of privacy at the hands of Jasper. Chad is out there right now, making sure everyone involved gets consequences, but when did I become like this? I don't need anyone to fight my battles. I got up from my bed and decided to go and confront Jasper. I know where his house in Royal City is. He had brought me once when we were still married. I stared at my ring for a while, pondering on my decision. I looked in the mirror and brushed my hair, letting it cascade in soft curls down my back. I retouched my eyeliner, making the blue of my eyes pop up. Jeans, high heel ankle boots, and an off the shoulder sweater complemented my look. That was my armor to confront Jasper. 'Are you sure that you want to go alone, Bella?' Anaisha asked with concern. "Don't worry, Anaisha. He wouldn't dare hurt us. I
Chad's POV I parked my car right in front of Holloway's house when my eyes deceived me, or so I thought. Fucking Hendrick was standing at the door. Before I could call him someone opened the door and he sauntered in like he owned the fucking place. I mindlinked him since I can't reveal myself now that he is here. 'What the fuck are you doing at Holloway's place Hendrick?!' I growled. 'I came to collect a mischievous little thing that escaped on my watch.' He said with a hint of amusement in his voice. 'Bella?! What the fuck is she doing here?! And how did you even know where to find her?!' I grunted. 'When I looked for her and she wasn't in her room or anywhere else in the palace and given the recent events, I just put two plus two together. I need to move fast, though I'm starting to feel off. Be ready!' Hendrick said in a more serious tone. Fuck!! 'Hendrick, listen to me just take her out of there fast. Don't talk to Holloway. Show me what you see.' As twins, Hendrick
Bella's POV All the air seemed to have left the room when Chad stepped in. His presence was all consuming and all demanding. His aura enveloped me like a luxurious blanket. Earlier inside the car, he was more relaxed and even joking around, but right now, I could feel it. He was really mad that I left the palace without protection. "Am I in trouble, my King?" What's all I managed to ask as the intensity of his gazed hipnotized me. When he pulled me against his powerful chest, all the strength left my body, and I didn't even feel my towel falling down. When the first sharp slap landed on my ass I was already so hot for Chad that instead of hurting me, it sent jolts of pleasure to my core. "Fuck Bella look at your perfect ass, it turned the prettiest shade of pink." Chad cooed as he rubbed the spot where his palm landed making me moan. His fingers traveled between my butt cheeks until they reached my wet folds. "Chad, please." I pleaded almost in a drunken state. "Please, wha
Bella's POV I woke up in the middle of the night at the sound of loud moans. It took me a minute to recognize those moans as mine. I tried to press my thighs together, but I couldn't. They were pinned to my sides by strong big hands. I looked down, still in a daze just to find Chad face deep between my thighs flicking his tongue on my pussy with long strokes and precised pressure. Another long moan escaped my lips. "Chad..." I whimpered. He tightened the grip on my thighs and plunged his tongue inside my gushing pussy. I arched my back, emitting cries of pleasure. Chad's eyes combined with those of his wolf. 'Cobalt,' Anaisha said in my head. Chad inserted two fingers inside my slick core and suckled on my clit sending me spiraling to the pit of the most consuming orgasm. Chad positioned himself between my legs and looked at me as if asking for permission. I nodded way too eagerly, with so much need to care for decorum. I looked at his Massive cock as he brushed the tip between
Chad's POV Dane and I went to the clandestine bar to meet with Fort and Abelina. Fort was alone in a corner table reading a Leanne Wayne's fashion magazine. Bella has created an empire on her own and right under Holloway's nose. The fact that she kept it a secret even from her so-called best friend speaks volumes. Bella doesn't trust easily. "I didn't know you were interested in fashion." I mocked Fort as Dane and I took our seats. "There is an interview with pictures of your Luna." Fort said without even looking at me. I snatched the magazine from his claws and looked at the picture inside. There she was, my Bella, looking flawless as always. 'Mine!' Cobalt growled. "I wasn't done, you know." Fort protested. The interview was done yesterday. They interviewed both her and Arona separately. I was surprised at how fast they printed it out. "You were ogling my woman far too intently." I retorted, making him smirk. I looked at the picture once again. The fotographer captur
Bella's POV Arona had been ranting non-stop about the competition's theme. Instead of trying to work out a solution, she became increasingly unreasonable. I could be patient and accommodating, but I draw the line where my child is concerned. For my child, I don't care who I cross, nor do I think about consequences. My child is untouchable. The slap made a satisfying sound against her cheek. Her face contorted with shock as she cupped her cheek with disbelief. "How dare you, you bitch!!" Arona threw herself at me. but I was prepared. Claws out and everything. My eyes flashed, ready to rip her skin off of her face if necessary. "Don't!" A loud growled startled me. Chad?! Before I could even react, I was out of harms way. Chad had put himself between us. Arona's claws ripped into Chad's back. Alpha King Hudson and the masked guard appeared out of nowhere restraining Arona and putting her out of Chad's reach. "Chad!!" I bellowed. His back was dripping with blood, but he was sca
Hudson's POV "Guard, leave us alone." I said to Braxten in a calmed voice, without betraying the fury that was threatening to burst from within. "Oversee that all of the Keladian prisoners get sent back tonight." I said as I clenched my fists. Braxten left, knowing that at least I wouldn't kill her. As stupid as she was, she was still my blood. As soon as her mate was far enough, I landed a slap on Arona's face that sent her, tumbling to the floor. "You see what your stupidity cost me?!" I snarled. Thick tears ran down her cheeks, but she did not crumble. I purposely hit her on the same cheek Bella did, trying not to arise suspicion. "My stupidity?! You've been thinking with your manhood ever since you set your eyes on her. Don't tell me there was no other solution before you threw away our only leverage!" She spews. "She will be your future queen sister. You better not threaten her life again, or I will cut ties with you!" I growled, and she scoffed. "I hate her. She has tw
Hudson's POV Arona flinches as I throw another crystal vase against the wall. Since my return, she has not been any help. I can see her struggling to hold back the urge to say, "I told you so," but she knows better than to provoke me when I'm in this fucking mood. Camilla glances at me and sighs. Ever since I arrived, I have been berating everyone nonstop. A warrior enters the living room, fear clearly visible on his face. “A... Alpha King. None of the men made it back to North Natbia.” I snarled and grabbed him by the collar, throwing him against the wall. He landed on top of the shattered glass. Arona snickered from behind. I turned around, pinning her with a menacing stare. The warrior scrambles to his feet and flees the scene. I was still seething. I had to flee Kaladia like a coward. My warriors stood no chance against Bella, and my useless mother was unwilling to confront her. Therefore, I had to leave Bella and everything else behind. “What kind of witches are you two?
Hendrick's POV I entered the room as soon as Chad left. The air still reeked of sex, and I felt a sharp sting of jealousy. Lycans have a much stronger sense of smell than wolves. I felt Bella's scent as I approached the bed—she smells exquisite. That natural aroma of hers calms both me and Chaos. I sat on the chair to gaze at her like a fucking stalker. She stirred in her sleep. Her wolf could sense me, but she did not feel threatened by me. She sleeps peacefully. I resisted the urge to brush the silky strands of hair away from her face. Her pillowy lips are slightly parted as she breathes softly. The palace is bustling with activity, all in preparation for her wedding to Chadwick. My jaw tightens. This infatuation has had to go. She's my brother's mate. The one and only, not a second chance mate, but the one the Goddess intended for him. Holloway signed his death sentence with what he did. I know my brother. He does not forgive easily, especially when it comes to her. Hence, m
**Bella's POV** After Dane shared the great news, I got up from Chad's lap and placed the plate of food on the table. I had been so hungry earlier. Although I usually don’t eat much meat, I felt like I could eat everything on the table. Chad had been feeding me tiny bites when Dane walked in, and I noticed the amused glint in his eyes at the sight of us. Everyone at the palace saw Chad as the big bad wolf, but he was so sweet to me. "So, he's gone!" I exclaimed with excitement. "It seems so," Chad replied, leaning back on the couch and crossing his legs in a figure-four position. "We won't let our guard down, though. Don't forget that he is working with a witch." He focused his gaze on me, and I felt my cheeks flush as I averted my eyes. I grabbed the glass of wine Rose had served earlier and welcomed the bittersweet taste. "I will reinforce the security around the palace. People from neighboring packs have started to arrive for your wedding," Dane said before excusing himself
Chad's POV I witnessed everything in those fleeting seconds from a distance. The chaos that unfolded was overwhelming. Her power was immeasurable; she tore through the magic barriers fiercely. My warriors stood helplessly. There was nothing else to do. She eliminated the threat singlehandedly. Now, I cradle her in my arms inside the car as she sleeps like an angel, not as the terrifying witch who just obliterated an army of warriors. The small lashes on her supple skin finally heal, and I clench my jaw at seeing them. The dried blood that smeared her skin had already begun to flake away. Hendrick speeds past on his motorcycle. He knows what Bella is capable of, so he had no doubts when he took her to that place. I can't help but feel jealous of their closeness. Why does she trust him with her secret and not me? Dane pulls through the castle gates, and I leave the car carrying Bella. As we pass by the common room, the women gasp and look in horror as they see Bella covered in bl
Bella's POV As we approach the crumbling, abandoned building, my heart races like a wild drum in my chest. The eerie silhouette of the structure looms before us, its broken windows resembling dark, unblinking eyes. Despite the unsettling ambiance, my real fear lies not in what might be lurking within those walls but in the possibility of Chad discovering my location. Tonight, I plan to unravel all my secrets to him, a daunting task that sends a flutter of anxiety through me. I rub my palms together, feeling the cool air against my skin, a stark contrast to the warmth of my apprehension. Hendrick catches my gaze, a playful smirk dancing on his lips. “Don’t tell me you’re getting scared? Bella, you single-handedly subdued the four men who tried to kidnap you in Royal City,” he teases, his confidence radiating like a beacon. Though my stomach twists slightly, I can't help but quirk my lips at his words. “Well, I didn’t mean to kill them. I was just learning to harness my newfound p
Chad'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
