Thanks for reading. I'd really appreciate some diamonds if you can. ☆
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
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 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 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 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 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
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
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
Hudson's POV I woke up to a furnace against my back. I tried to move, but a pair of strong arms kept me in place. Chad's tattooed arm was wrapped around me like a vice. I didn't want to wake him up. Being in his arms was everything. The soreness between my thighs was a silent reminder of what had
Chad's POV Her body was glistening as she bounced up and down on my lap. Just like in my fantasies. She licked her plushy lips, almost sending me over the edge. I felt my fangs coming down. The desire to mark her was overwhelming. 'Down stupid Cobalt!' I growled. He grunted but obeyed. "Don't s
Braxten's POV I had been ordered by Arona not to go near her guests tonight, but I was never good at following orders. I've heard a commotion, and I decided to investigate. They had been at it for a while, it seemed, because I had only arrived after the aftermath. A man burst through the door, dra
Bella's POV When I saw Hendrick inside that cold cell like cage, my heart pang sending a wave of nauseting dread to my stomach. It was like looking at two water droplets. I got closer, and I couldn't help but reach out to cup his face. It was as if he was my Chad in that heart-wrenching state. Whe
Chad's POV Bella followed me through the cold hallways in my underground lair. I tried to help her down the steep stairs, but she wouldn't let me. My heart clenched. I don't know if I was leading her to the beginning of my own doom by taking her to meet Hendrick. I was still mad at Cobalt. I bloc
Bella's POV I felt Chad tensing at my question. We entered his room, and I heard some noises coming from mine. Chad kissed my temple. "I always treat you the same." He said, sounding hoarse. Something crashes in my room next door, making me startle. "Relax, it must be Rose. Once I mark you, you
Chad's POV As soon as I realised what the purpose of those fireworks was, I felt my blood boil. Hudson and Holloway were mocking me in my own turf. They think they can disrespect me and my woman and get away with it. If a war starts all over again, be it, but tonight, both of their intestines will
Bella's POV I turned on the water's faucet at the very same moment that some noises came from my room. A door slammed seconds after that. I couldn't hear well but I thought Chad said "fuck!" I shook my head. He was acting very weird. When I looked into his eyes, they seemed different. They were th
Hendrick' POV I woke up feeling grudgy. Dr. Strauss' tranquilizers are worse than a hangover. There's a soft pillow next to me that smells so much like Bella. I grabbed it, and I inhaled its scent, making me feel better already. Vanilla and honey. An image of her flushed face and tempting body pro
