Chad Jasper was now back on his feet. He stared coldly towards Bella. Bella held his gaze, defiantly. Staring an alpha directly in the eyes was a form of challenge in itself. I could see Jasper's jaw ticking. He hated my closeness to Bella. That much was clear, too bad for him, he lost his chance. I looked at Bella, standing closer to me . She had such gracious beauty. Jasper will not let her go without a fight. "Are you refusing my command, Alpha Jasper?" I asked threateningly. "Accept the rejection!" He sneered. "There's nothing to refuse or accept. She's just confused. I blame it on her pregnancy hormones. I will be lenient. After all, it was me who put that child in her womb." He was still trying to mark his territory, claiming his rights over her for everyone to hear. Cobalt growled. "I'll go to the Royal City Bella, and if by tomorrow morning you haven't come to me, I will take my case to the council and claim you back. I'm giving you a chance to come back as my Luna,
Bella My cheeks turned red when I heard the door reopen. I didn't have to turn around to know it was him. I could feel his eyes burning through my skin. The strong connection I felt with him scared me. My pregnancy hormones have no business having crazy thoughts about Lycan King Chad. He closed th
Bella Chad stiffened when he heard the woman. He didn't let go of my hand, but he avoided my eyes. My heart skipped. He told me he didn't have a mate. Who could this woman be? The woman's eyes jumped from me to Chad in bewilderment. Her fake smile looked like it was hurting her physically. "My King?" She tilted her head inquisitively. Her elegant two-piece suit fitted her like a glove, with a skirt just above the knee. The woman meant power and status. "This is Luna Bella Lockwood of White Claw Pack. She will be staying at the palace temporarily." I felt inner satisfaction when he called me by my maiden name along with my birth pack. Chad turned to me, his eyes sofetening. "Bella, welcome to the Royal Palace. You can stay as long as you..." "Aren't you going to introduce me, my King?" The woman interrupted with a forced chuckle. Chad looked at her, I saw his jaw tightening. "Lorna Ferguson, daughter of Alpha Terrence, an Honorable member of the Royal Parliament." Chad said wi
Chad's POV When Cobalt urged me to go to her, I didn't think it twice. My wolf's connection to her was growing rapidly day by day. I ran through the hallways, searching for her until her sweet scent reached me. Something was not feeling right. It was as if I could sense her restlessness. Just as I
Bella's POV Chad and I stand up at the same time. His chair scratched the floor noisily. The tidal wave of his aura made us gasp. Everyone present bared their necks except me. Anaisha didn't feel like she needed to submit. Chad reigned his aura when he saw the effect he was causing. Alpha Terrence
They left, and I made my way back through the garden with small steps. Chad caught up with me. "Bella?" He grabbed me by my bared shoulders. I can't explain the sparks I felt at his touch. They feel stronger each time. Is it possible to build a connection with someone other than your mate? I saw his
Chad's POV: That night, I couldn't sleep. I wanted to wring Clara's neck for telling Bella those things. Dane warned me. I knew I was behaving out of character where Bella was concerned. I knew I should have never accepted the engagement to Lorna. I could have confessed my feelings to Bella by n
Bella's POV "You're mine, Bella. I will make sure you won't ever forget that tonight!" He said in my ear with a low growl. I felt my stomach revolt. He was so sure of his victory. "Alpha Jasper, you may begin." Said Elder Simon in his condescending voice. I almost ran towards Chad and sat down
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 hospital for situations like this. I pat the shaken woman on her back. Dane passed her a handkerchief, and she cl
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
