Bella's POV "Bella, that diamond necklace is exquisite." Elise said in awe of the diamond necklace Chad had given me this morning. He also gave me a diamond tiara that was part of a matching set with the necklace. Chad's fingers burned in my skin when he put the necklace around my neck. He put
Bella's POV "What gave you the right to come to my home and make demands, Hudson?!" Chad's aura was immeasurable. The waves of its powerful strength were sofocating. The foreign Alpha King let his aura out, too. It was dark and ominous but in no way closer to Chad's. Princess Arona smirked, enjoying the display of male testosterone. ""What?" Alpha King Hudson asked. "Are you going to let your people die just because you don't want to accept my sister, out of spite?!" The murmurs intensified. "What kind of king would leave their people to suffer?" King Hudson turned around with his arms open, staring on everyone's faces. "Lycan King Chad cannot do this to his people!" Someone said. Many people agreed. "I always thought King Chad was a fair king." Another woman from the crowd said. So far, almost everyone seems to want that match to happen. "What does he have to lose? He doesn't even have a mate, and he is 36 already." The Hall was buzzing with all kinds of criticism. Chad se
Chad's POV I didn't stop walking until we were back inside Bella's room. I set her down, and I buried my nose on the crook of her neck, Inhaling her peaches and cream scent, mixed with the vanilla and honey scent of her hair. It calmed me down. That's why mates were so necessary, and in my heart,
Bella's POV I was standing at the center of the stage, face to face with Arona. I looked up at her as she smirked. Her almond shaped green eyes narrowed even more as she looked at me with disdain. She looked regal with her blond ponytail. It was braided and hanging over one of her shoulders. She h
Chad's POV Bella's scent was an aphrodisiac to my senses. I suckled on her sweet neck, wishing I could mark her. The way every unmated male kept staring at her almost made me lose control on live TV. Hell, she looked so ravishing. Even the mated males looked interested in her. Fucking Jasper was t
Bella's POV "Well, well. Luna Bella?" I turned around and found myself face to face with the Alpha King. He oozes power and enigma. His black hair is tussled like he had passed his hands many times through it, or maybe a woman did. His enigmatic blue eyes looked me up and down. "I'm sorry, Alpha King. I got lost. I should go." I said as I started to walk away. He grabbed me by the arm firmly, and I had no choice but to stay in place. I stared down at the hand that was still holding me. "I suggest you unhand me, King Hudson. My mate is very possessive." He chuckled and let go of me. "With a woman like you, I think I would be as possessive as well." His eyes wandered down my face and body. I knew this look of uninvited interest that often times I caught on men when they looked at me. I sidestep him and continued to walk towards the garden. "I wanted to let you know that I accept. I accept to let the prisoners go as you requested once the competition is over." I stopped. Would h
Chad's POV Bella's chest rose and fell, and a cute squeak came out of her throat. The view was formidable from up here. The exquisite dress hugged all her curves in all the right places. "You wouldn't dare?" She said, feigning indignation. I pulled her close to me and whispered in her ear. "Swe
Bella's POV Chad's eyes darkened, matching the same desired that clouded mine. He made me feel daring and wanted. I put my hands on his bulging biceps, relishing in their hardness. "That sounds decadently hot, sweetheart. But some mere silk ties will not be able to restrain me, I will need to be c
Bella's POV The Alpha King looks into my eyes as he speaks to me. I could feel Chad's anger building at the blatant audacity of the Natbian King. The Natbian King was extraordinarily attractive. I wondered why he didn't have a mate. "I have a propotition of my own if you want to hear it." Alpha
Chad's POV I saw the flicker of fear flashing in Arona's eyes, but she stood her ground to keep her charade going. I was so proud of my Bella. She was standing up for her family and being pretty good at it. Bella was fierceless and not afraid to put anyone in their rightful place. The fire in her
Bella's POV Arona stood tall with a hand on her hip, ready for her showdown like ways. Chad held me closer to his side, but I pulled myself free, and I stood in front of him. Lava was running through my veins. She had no right to talk about my family. I looked at her fiercely, waiting for her repl
Bella's POV When I saw the strange woman walk inside Chad's office, I had a bad feeling, but when I saw Dane coming out and leaving them alone, my heart plummeted. I had enough traumatic experiences with men cheating in their office. I took a breath, trying to relax. Chad isn't like Jasper. He wou
Chad's POV I woke up with a loud gasp as I raised my head up. I was still chained on the chair. Dr. Straus sprinted towards me with a worried face. "My King, you've awaken!" He took the keys out of his white coat and started unlocking the silver locks with gloves on. Relief rushed through me as t
Bella's POV I was waiting impatiently for Chad. Tonight was the full moon. I was hoping he could be my second chance mate if the Goddess grants me another one. Elise hands me a tea to calm my nerves, but she was as nervous as I was. "Here, Bella drink. You're so restless. It's not good for the
Chad's POV The day I was going to tell Bella the truth, Cobalt became even more erratic. I drank some Wolfsbane, but still, it would be impossible for my closest people not to notice that something was wrong with me. I went to the palace's secret chambers, almost stumbling on my feet. I went throu
Bella's POV I changed into a pair of jeans with an off the shoulder sweater. My belly has started to show more, but I don't want my pregnancy to gain attention during the competition. I use my ring to conceal my bump. I look on the mirror, and the illusion of a flat stomach reflects on the mirror
Chad's POV I rubbed my hand on my face, still unsure of what to do. How? It was way too soon. Does that mean my time was shortened as well? There is a possibility. The think is, I only drank wolfsbane yesterday because Cobalt was not being himself. I thought of Bella and my heart sank. If something happens to her, I wouldn't be able to live with myself. I went inside my office and called the number back. He answered on the first ring. "Dr. Strauss, where is he now? What do you mean you don't know!" I boomed. That's seriously irresponsible from your part. He knows better not to show himself here before the full moon." "My king, he threatened me. I had to let him go, but he was being himself rest assured. He wouldn't do anything stupid." Dr. Strauss' voice trembled over the phone. "He better won't, or I will hold you responsible. Come back to the palace and be ready for anything." I ordered him and hung up. My brother Hendrick has regained his sanity sooner than in previous t
