Chad
After searching every hotel, I finally got the information that she had gone into the forest. I decided to visit the cave where Dane found me first.
My heart was thumping. The rogue activity around here was alarming. What are they looking for? Usually, they don't get too close to my territory. Dane had asked for reinforcements, but we can not wait for them. She is in imminent danger. We encountered 7 rogues near the cave. Dane and I tore them apart, body parts were flying through the air. Goddess, let me not be too late.
Cobalt was on high alert. I am mid-shift right now. Part man, part Lycan. I am letting Cobalt lead me to her. Her scent is stronger inside the cave. Dane is right behind me, covering my back. I walked further inside, claws out, ready to pounce. Hidden behind a rock, there was a bag. I grabbed it and pulled out a cloth item. I lifted it to my nose and inhaled deeply, peaches and cream. That's definitely hers. Cobalt almost howled, but we didn't want to attract more attention. I've never known fear before. My heart accelerates, afraid to lose her, before I even get to know her.
"She was here! This bag is hers. Shift Dane, we can't delay anymore they caught her. I know they did." I hid her stuff again where she left them. We took our clothes off, and we both ran to the exit shifting on mid-air. Dane's wolf was big. He was an Alpha serving as Beta to the Lycan King. I shift to my Lycan form as well. Cobalt's senses heightened. 'Follow her scent, Cobalt.' I urged him.
We encountered more rogues, but when they saw me in Lycan form, they ran the opposite way. Dane and I caught up with them easily. Cobalt was leaving a carnage behind. He barely left Dane's wolf any rogues. I've never felt him so furious. Cobalt kept following her scent. 'They took her up the mountain!' He snarled. Fuck!! If they cross the border, it would cause another war to rescue her.
Cobalt and Pax, Dane's wolf, moved faster. They were a blur among the trees. As Lycan, my eyesight was better than a werewolf's. We were still considerably far away when I saw their camping tents. They were still here, I just hoped she was unharmed. 2 rogues came out of nowhere, but before they even pounced, Cobalt had their hearts on his claws. 'Must find her!' He growled. Pax was getting rid of another rogue right behind me. Our fur was covered in blood already. It was helpful, since it was rogue's blood it disguised our own scent.
We got as close as we could, taking care not to be seen. My heart got caught in my throat when I saw her. Her hands were tied up, behind her. I clenched my jaw when I saw them drag her and drop her carelessly on a stool, forcing her to sit down. My blood was elated when I saw the rogue in front of her. Gunner, the mad bastard. I've been trying for years to get rid of him. He won't come out of here alive. That's for sure. He put a strand of her hair behind her ear. Cobalt made a low growl. We couldn't let them see us just yet. Just then, the bastard slapped her. I was about to jump in, but Pax held me back. We were still too far from them.
I wanted Gunner away from her before I could attack. the guy is a lunatic. Nobody could guess his next movement. Finally, Gunner moved away from her while looking at his phone. He read something he didn't like, and all hell broke loose. Pax and I started getting closer. The rogues were distracted, trying to avoid the rage of their leader. Gunner was killing any rogue that was unfortunate enough to cross his path.
My eyes would switch towards her at every second. She was brave and strong. Other women would have been screaming or should have been fainted by now, after witnessing that gory scene. She got up from her seat, trying to run. Fuck no! Gunner was closer to her and grabbed her by the hair. "Where do you think you're going?" The bastard asked her and grabbed her by the hair, making her fall to her knees and cry out in pain.
"Gunner, the money, remember. No harm to the Luna." One of the rogues said. What money is he talking about? I kept getting closer. "Do not intervene, Roy. I will teach some manners to this slut. She'll learn not to run from her man next time. Another slap on her face and she went limp on the fucking rogues hold. Cobalt couldn't take this any longer and pounced on Gunner.
We rolled on the floor, fighting, but he was no match for me. Gunner's eyes popped out when he saw me. "The Lycan King!" He said with a mouthful of blood. My claws were already digging inside his chest. "You touched what's mine!" Cobalt said as he tore his heart out. I shifted to my human form and saw Dane changing back to his human form as well. Our warriors had come and were chasing after the rogues.
I moved quickly to check on her. I wish I knew her name. She was unconscious on the floor, but I could hear her heart. I turned her over, and I swear I wanted to kill Gunner all over again. Her beautiful face was bruising. I wanted to carry her, but I was plastered in rogues blood. Another warrior offered to carry her when he was passing me a pair of pants, but my eyes flashed. There was no way Cobalt was letting anyone else carry her. Another warrior gave me a bottle of water to clean some of the blood on my body, and only then I lifted her from the floor in my arms.
Sparks danced through my body when I pressed her against my chest, and I knew Dane heard the soft gasp that escaped me. He gave me a sideways smile. "Make sure her stuff and ours are retrieved from the cave. I'm taking her to the pack's hospital." Dane gave the orders and ran after me as well. I was a little too late. No harm should have come upon her.
When we got to the pack, I left her in the hands of the Crown's doctors while I took a quick shower. I have left four guards outside the hospital room and at the hospital's entrance as well, for safety measures. She was not leaving my sight ever again.
When I got back, Alpha Terrence was already outside the hospital, pestering the guards with questions. "Is the Lycan King hospitalized again? I should have known. I told him it was a reckless idea to leave the hospital so soon. I am one of the Crown's councillors, but he always thinks he knows best..." I pinched the bridge of my nose and exhaled. He was trying to enter the hospital to snoop. Nobody was allowed to go inside the hospital while she was inside unless they needed attention.
"Alpha Terrence." He jumped and turned to face me. "My King, I just.." I stopped him. "I will address the council tonight. We had a rogue attack today. Make sure they're all waiting for me at nine." He bowed and scurried away to carry my orders.
When I stepped inside the room, her scent hit me like a tidal wave. She was still unconscious, and the doctors put some sort of drip in her arm. The light from the window illuminated her skin with a natural glow that made her look unreal. Her bag with her things was already here. 'She's so beautiful, Cobalt cooed. 'The fearless Cobalt' I smirked. 'She already has you wrapped around her little finger.' And I was afraid she had me too. One of the Drs entered at that moment.
"My King." She bowed. "We ran all sorts of tests on her before we gave her any medical treatment that might be harmful to her. She was generally healthy, although a little exhausted and dehydrated, which is understandable. The other thing we found out is that she's pregnant." Cobalt snarled, making the Dr. jump as he pinned her with his gaze. "Pregnant?!" I growled.
"Yes, about four months. She is marked too. The child is not a bastard. Her mark is also from a ranked wolf, an alpha." Each of the Drs. words was like a bucket of ice over my head. Pregnant? And she was alone in the forest, attacked by rogues!! What kind of mediocre alpha leaves his mate unprotected for so long?!! 'We find him and kill him. She's ours now!' Cobalt growled. I clenched my fists. For the first time, I knew the meaning of jealousy, and it was a very unpleasant feeling. I was about to punch the wall when I saw her stirring. Goddess!
Bella's POVI woke up to the sound of voices. I was still in a daze, but something was smelling really good. Just then, I felt someone getting closer to me. Gathering all the little strength I had left. I threw a punch that landed on someone's jaw. A man's chuckle and a sharp gasp from a woman made me open my eyes. My eyes widen in disbelief. It was him, the God Warrior I have saved! He was still smiling as he rubbed the spot where my fist landed."What a mean right hook you got there." He smiled broadly. Goddess, he was ao handsome. I was hopelessly mesmerized by his looks. "Sorry." I whispered. I had never been at a loss for words before. "I...I thought I was still with the rogues." He stretched his hand trying to touch me, but he curled his fingers before he reached the strand of hair he seemed so focused on. I realized then that the Dr. had left quietly, and it was just the two of us."You're safe now. Do you want me to contact someone for you? A family member, perhaps?" His eyes los
Chad.I am 36 years old, and I haven't found my fated mate. At first, I thought, because of me being a Lycan, I was destined to die alone. The Goddess might not want to pair me with a shewolf. As of now, I just think the Goddess hasn't been doing a good job. How could she have paired Bella with Alpha Jasper of all people. The Holloways have always been, power hungry, hipocrites, and without morals. I glanced at the beautiful woman sitting on the chair, and I crouched to her level.I stared intently into her beautiful baby blue eyes. They were stained with tears. I felt another wave of rage. "No, Bella. If I had a mate, I would do everything in my power to never make her cry. I would give her the moon and make sure to always look at her with stars in my eyes. She would always be my priority and the source of my adoration." Cobalt agreed within me. Bella stopped crying. It was so easy to get lost in her eyes.I stood up and sat across her again. My blood boiled with rage and jealousy. I do
Bella's POVChad had to leave impromptuly yesterday. I can't believe I've only met him for a few days and I already miss him. He has been so patient and attentive. I'm surprised he still doesn't have a mate. She will be a lucky woman, whomever that be. Somehow, thinking about it gives me an unpleasant feeling. But it's understandable I got the short end of the stick where mates are concerned.The Dr.announced herself with a soft knock on the door. Chad left me in charge of an only female staff. Every person who entered this room, doctors, cleaning people, and cooks were only women. Just the guards posted outside my door were men, and they acted like they were afraid to look at me. I think Chad was exaggerating. Nobody in their right mind would come looking for trouble to a military pack. He makes me feel like I matter, though. I wouldn’t say cherished because that's way too inappropriate. He is just grateful that I saved his life. But he saved mine too, so I considered ourselves even."G
Jasper "Is this the way to treat a woman, Alpha Jasper?!" The Lycan King asked, seething with anger. I hated the pretentious prick. Right now, he was standing between my woman and me. Bella even stepped closer to him with confidence. My wolf didn't like that, and neither did I. Theron wanted to t
"Bella, what nonsense are you talking about?! Are you implaying that I...?!! The Lycan snarled loudly. He grabbed me by the collar and lifted me off the ground. "You cheated Jasper?! You cheated on...her?! On your fated mate. Do you Holloways hold anything sacred?!" His eyes were flickering with
Chad's POV "Chad, your aura is out of control. Your anger is tangible at the moment." I was outside her door with Dane. My rage hadn't subsided, not even for a bit. The way he was dragging her by her hair like she was a ragged doll almost led me to commit murder. "I am going to kill him, Dane! Why did her guars abandon her?!" Dane sighed. "Alpha Terrence ordered them. They were some of the older guards since you requested them to be mated. They're still more inclined to the council's old rules and costumes. They thought Alpha Jasper had all the rights to his mate. They will be in the dungeons for a week." A growl escaped me, and I punched the wall. "Chad, the wall is pure concrete. You're bleeding now." Dane shook his head. "You know what, Dane? This was all your fault. I shouldn't have listened to you. I didn't have to go to Royal City. I should have been here to prevent that moron from hurting her. Now she is inside there getting her knees bandaged by Dr. Sarah. Her eyes were al
I knocked on the door softly and turned the doorknob. It was unlocked. I made sure to lock it when I closed. "Chad!" Bella beamed. She was sitting on the sofa. she was wearing silk pajama shorts with a matching short rob on top. Anger rushed through me when I saw her bandaged knees and some scratche
Bella's POV Chad looked at me intently after what I said. Rejecting a fated mate was not common. It was frowned upon and, in most cases, punishable. The only acceptable reason to reject a mate was that if said mate was cheating or was abusive. But even then, outstanding proofs were required in ord
Bella's POV I dig my nails into Chad's back as he pounds inside me. Out tongues tangle in a fervent kiss that sends jolts of pleasure directly to my loins. His deep and fast thrusts have me moaning silently as each moan was muffled by Chad's burning kisses. Only the wet noises of skin to skin con
Chad's POV As I look at Bella sleeping peacefully in the hospital bed, all the recent events replay in my mind. Hudson has grown bolder. He almost killed one of my most trusted men, and now he has attempted to kidnap Bella. I brush a strand of hair off of her face, making her pout in her sleep. Fu
Chad's POV Dane and I got to the hospital in record time. The first person we saw was Dr. Grace, Fort's mate. She lunged herself into my arms. Luckily, we had werewolf Drs here at the human hospital for situations like this. I pat the shaken woman on her back. Dane passed her a handkerchief, and
Hendrick's POV I left the place before I ended up punching Chad. His possessive and arrogant display of ownership towards Bella made me sick with jealousy. I get on my bike and ride to Main Street. All the most luxurious stores and restaurants are there. I parked next to Lynne Wayne Inc. The manne
Bella's POV The following days were a blur of activity. Chad wanted us to get married immediately. He wanted to announce to the world that I was his fated mate. He has arranged a meeting with the elders to give them the good news. We are supposed to meet with them today at their headquarters. "
Chad's POV The murderous rage I feel is driving me crazy. The desperate need to get free and rip apart everything in my vicinity is overwhelming and torturous. Cobalt senses Bella's presence somewhere nearby and the need to go to her clouds every other thought. I can't control Cobalt, not in a ful
Bella's POV Chad woke up in the middle of the night. His low growls startled me, waking me up as well. He was sitting at the edge of the bed. His breathing was labored. For the first time since I met him, a flicker of fear ran through my body. "Chad, are you alright?" I put my hand on his back,
Bella's POV As the days passed by, I immersed myself in preparing for the full moon's ritual that would break the curse. Hendrick and I haven't told Chad. He would never agree to it if he knew what the ritual would involve. Even Hendrick does not know the whole truth. Hendrick paces back and forth
Chad's POV I entered Bella's room and found her sleeping peacefully. Even when every time she ends up being hurt one way or another, she keeps going on with her head held up high. Her resilience floors me. I look at my clothes covered in blood. I spent all night interrogating the Natbian prisoners
