Chad's POV Lorna had been groomed since she was a teen to become my Luna. I never agreed to it, but Alpha Terrence, as a member of the Parliament, convinced the Elders. It will certainly be humiliating for her once word gets out that she's no longer my fiancée. "I will handle it. You don't need
She dropped to her knees, clutching my pants, leaving me flabbergasted. "Please, my king. I promise I won't be a nuisance to you. I will give you an heir, and you can keep her as a lover if you want, I won't mind." She pleaded earnestly. Her? Bella? A lover? Cobalt came forward, our combined rage, creating a dangerous threat feeling in the room. "Alpha Terrence, control your daughter! I'd let this insult to Luna Bella slide just this once. No one will tarnish her name and live to count it. I said what I have to say you may leave!" I sanrled. "But my King, what about my daughter." Alpha Terrence asked, still in shock. "Who would want to marry my child now if she was rejected by the king?" Luna Clara implored. "I did not reject her. She was not my mate to begin with. Plans were canceled, as simple as that. Once spring is here, Lorna will travel to all the country's packs, searching for her mate. All her expenses and dowry will be sponsored by the crown." With that, I left to look
Bella's POV Chad draped the robe around my shoulders and closed it tightly on my front. I grinned at him. He was so sweet and attentive. Well, at least with me. I've seen him getting mad, making big, powerful Alpha's tremble. I felt like I could ask him for anything, and he would give it to me.
Chad's POV: I groaned to myself. what was Lorna doing now? After all the drama last night, I told her she needed to behave if she wanted to stay here until spring. She was acting like we had been lovers at the least. Goddess knows that I had always avoided the women from my circle. The Elders, always wanting me to marry and produce an heir. I mindlinked Bryan and Rose to go see what was happening. I was not going to leave my guests unattended after all they did to help Bella. Bella hugged Dr. Janna affectionately. Both women beemed. "Luna, you're truly missed at the pack. It takes losing something to appreciate it. All those pack members who always talked ill about you now they wish you'd come back. I hugged Bella to my side with more force than needed. "They could keep wishing. She's here to stay." I said possessively. Bella elbowed me playfully, and she tip toed to kiss my cheek. "Which brings us to what you're here for. Beta Luca, have you thought about Chad's proposal?" A
Bella's POV Chad and the other men talked in his office for a long time. When he came back, I noticed a subtle change in his behavior. He looked a little absentminded. After our friends left, Chad walked me to my room. I wanted to ask what happened, but if he wanted to tell me, he would. I settle
Chad's POV The pent-up sexual tension was killing me. What with my internal battle with Cobalt wanting to mark Bella and me just wanting to rip her clothes off and fuck her senseless as I indulge in her delectable body. But when she asked me about what I talked about in my office with Dane and the
Bella's POV Elise and I have hit it off since the beginning. It was like we had known each other for ages. The more time I spend with her, the more I notice how different Sadie was. I often downplayed Sadie’s snide remarks in the past, as simple jokes or suggestive criticism. Now I see them for wh
Chad's POV I held Bella in my arms on our way back. She understood my wolf's need. Only the fact that she was in my arms was the only thing preventing me from going back and tear fucking Jasper's body in half. How did he know Bella was going shopping today? I clenched my fists as anger started to
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
