Chad's The first thing I felt was guiltiness for still not telling her the truth about me and my brother. Then I looked into her eyes, and the uncertainty I saw in them floored me. She had been betrayed before, and she must be thinking I could do the same. But the bastard she was with before didn
Bella's POV No Goddess!! I'm not ready for this. I felt like my spirit had left my body, and I watched everything from outside. The reporters started shoving microphones on my face and asking a million questions at the same time. Chad lifted me in his arms and pushed his way through between the cr
Bella's POV I looked at the masked man's eyes, but he averted them. "Can I please see your face?" I asked the man once again. He looked conflicted for a moment, but then he sighed. "Impossible, I wouldn't want to scare you. My face is disfigured, and Princess Arona has strictly instructed me no
Chad's POV Horror overcomes me when Bella tells me my brother had slept with her between his fucking arms. He said it when I went to see him tonight, but I refused to believe him. The thing is that it had never bothered me to share everything with him before, but not Bella. Bella is only mine and
Bella's POV The next day, when I woke up to the sound of the mourning trumpets. I sat up, feeling a void on my chest. Today, my father will be cremated. I looked towards Chad's side of the bed, but he was no longer here. I felt a panic attack building on my chest. My father was dead, my brothers w
Chad's POV Since I saw Arona when I got here, I felt that something wasn't right. Arona was way too happy and confident. Not surprisingly, Jasper was here with his lover. Bella sat next to me after she was done with her speech. She had also added a scholarship for young girls and young mothers who
Hendrick's POV: I haven't stopped thinking about her, but not obsessively on the contrary. She makes me feel sane. She is like a cure I need. I was going to let her be, after all Chad had warned me about her, but the minute I saw her something bigger than I could explain compelled me to stay with
Chad's POV A fist landed on my jaw, making me stumble back. Dane laughed as I rubbed my chin. I had been distracted thinking about the fucking mess Hendrick's presence had brought with him here. "What's going on with you, Chad? You're very distracted today." Dane asked, still amused. He was part
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
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

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
