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 I know my cheeks must be crimson red. I'm sitting on Chad's left at the dinner table. Chad is looking dangerously handsome as always. The white shirt he's wearing is unbuttoned at the chest, leaving me a clear view of his tattoos. It is also folded at the sleeves. His strong arms are covered in tattoos, as well. It doesn't help that I keep thinking about his promise for tonight. A delicious discomfort is building between my thighs, making me squeeze them tight. "Aunty Bella, you look red." Peggy's chirpy voice brought me back to reality. I touched my face as everyone stared at me. Somehow, I managed to blush even more. "Are you feeling alright?" Chad's low whisper makes my skin vibrate. "Perhaps you want to retire a little earlier." He gives me a knowing look and winks at me. He brought my hand to his lips and kissed it. I felt his tongue on my skin, and I wish I could mindlink him to stop before he aroused me even more. "Do you want me to go with you, Bella?" El
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
