Chad When I heard the piano keys, I was on one of the top floor balconies of the Palace. I had been keeping an eye on that Lunas' reunion. I didn't like that Bella was surrounded by strangers and so close to Arona and Jasper's mistress. I was proud to see that she was able to hold her own and was
Bella's POV The next day, I woke up with a new resolve. I was hoping to find that man and unmask him. I have a gut feeling about him. I could use my ring from afar and take his mask off, but I don't want to risk it. It would be way too obvious. Another problem would be to sneak away from Chad. I f
Chad's POV The reports Dane has been getting from our spies are worrisome. There has been an ongoing investigation about my ambush and the attack to Bella's family. Our suspicions have been correct, and they are connected. I have three suspects right now, but I need proof. There was definitely rog
Bella's POV Today is finally the day of the first competition. I decided to wear another exclusive dress from House LW. It was a taupe gown that popped out my eye color. It exposed my right leg and showed some cleavage. I had spent all morning with Elise, Lira, and Tessa getting ready. We went to
Bella's POV Arona waited until the round of applause died. She looked confident. Her aura was at maximum potence, enveloping every single member of the audience. She wanted them to feel her power. On her exquisite red strappless gown, she had put her 4 military medals on the left side of her chest
Chad's POV Bella takes the mic from Ferragano with confidence. All of these vultures here are waiting for her to fall and shred her to pieces. Not on my watch. What's mine is Bella's as well. Hell, she owns everything now, including my heart and my life. I look around, and I l see the Alpha King s
Bella's POV The votes on the screens were moving rapidly. Chad held me firmly at his side as we both stared at one of the huge tv screens above. I suddenly fell a chill run through my body, and I buried my face on Chad's chest. It wasn't the first time I felt someone looking at me and provoking th
Chad's POV I tried thinking if I ever met Apha Maxwell's Luna, but nothing came to my mind. Although, I probably did meet her if Alpha Maxwell ever brought her to the palace. I took off my jacket, and I put it around Bella's shoulders. Her beautiful, perky, round tits kept tempting me, but I want
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
Bella's POV When all hell broke loose, I got distracted, trying to figure out what was going on. I realized too late Hudson's intentions. He twisted my arm behind my back, pressing me against his chest while covering my mouth with his other hand roughly. He moved us swiftly towards his quarters.
Chad's POV I can practically feel Hudson seething underneath his diplomatic façade when I saw him. I pull Bella closer to me, staking my claim. I'm sure Hudson was already singing victory. With Arona as queen consort, it would have been easier to try to get rid of me. "Try" was the key word. My wa
Arona's POV I was seething. My blood was boiling. I entered my room and put on my clothes quickly. With the back of my hand, I cleaned some of the angry tears falling down my eyes. I need Braxten to help me dissipate some of this anger before I explode. The door opened, but it was Hudson. He was e
Bella's POV My heart thumped when I heard my name. I squared my shoulders and stepped outside with determination. My mind overflowed with my father's words of encouragement. 'Don't ever let your enemy think that you're afraid. Fight with everything you've got, Even when you think that you're doome
Chad's POV The day of the competition was finally here. This morning, Bella had gone to visit the shrine where she had placed the urns of her father and her son. The day of his son's funeral, Beta Luca had brought back Alpha General Lockwood's ashes to accompany his grandson. Bella didn't want her
Bella's POV Chad's newfound information came as a surprise to me. I would have never thought that Arona was a half witch. Should I be worried? With everything that Camille had taught me, I won't be at a disadvantage, and I don't want to start doubting myself. Besides, we can't really use magic dur
Bella's POV The ring was breathtaking. It has the biggest diamond I have ever seen, and it was surrounded by light blue gemstones. He has asked me to marry him before, but seeing him on one knee with the ring on his hand, it all became real. I threw myself at him, almost making him fall. "Yes, C
Chad's POV I was meeting with Abelina and Fort at the church's bar. Usually, our meetings occur during the night, but Abelina said she had important news. I also wanted to ask her about her vision. In her vision, there was a woman who would be either my doom or glory. So I asked her if she has had
