Bella's POV I walked with Chad side by side. People stared at us as we passed by them. Chad's presence was impossing. It was impossible not to stare at him. He looked magnificent, not to mention that he is impossibly tall. His muscles flexed with each of his movements and his aura, although reigned in was still threatening and powerful. Nobody dared to whispered about me in his presence anymore. The whispers were still there, though. They couldn't fathom the fact that their king was with a woman who was pregnant by another. 'Is the king not a jealous man?' Some would ask. 'If she was his real mate, he couldn't possibly stand this.' 'I would've gotten rid of that pup by now if I were him. It would only bring discord with his biological pups in the future.' All of those whispers hit me like lashes soaked with wolfsbane. What pained me the most is that all of those whispers will torture my son throughout his childhood as well. Would he hate me for abandoning his father's p
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 projects in my mind, and I tried to erase it as quickly as it came. "Lycan King Chad brought it for you." Dr. Strauss chimed in. I nodded without looking at him. "I want to see her. Tell him to let me have dinner with her. He could go meet with the spies, and I'll cover for him or something." I said almost pleadingly. "I only suffered this relapse because Chad has not been giving me a chance to be close to her since the pillow incident." I had too much time in my hands, and I started researching everything about pregnancies on my phone. Soon, all my social media was infested with advertisements about all kinds of products for pregnant women. That pillow had called my attention. I did no
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
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 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 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 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
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** I rummage through the drawer for the fourth time, knowing I left Jasper's letter inside. However, the envelope containing my son’s sonogram is nowhere to be found. I hear Rose’s footsteps approaching, and I turn to face her. "Queen Luna, the team from Lynne Wayne has arrived for
Chad's POV It had been weeks since I forced Jasper Holloway to go back to Riverbank's Pack with his mate and daughter. Bella stopped me from killing Jasper, just like I had been itching to do for a long time. Only Bella's intervention and the fact that he has a pup now saved him. Bella did not wa
**Camilla's POV** I watched from the shadows as the Lycan roared furiously. That she-wolf, Sadie, had slapped the Princess. Sadie had played a key role in my plan, but I no longer needed her. I made sure her pup never made it out of the ICU. She had to pay for gloating when the Princess lost that w
Bella's POV I passed by the common room on my way out. Elise and Grace were there. Grace looks so much better after giving her the amulet. She has even asked me to be her baby's godmother. Elise is a little bit farther along. I hope their babies can become friends in the future. Lira appeared as w
Bella's POV I lay naked on top of Chad, resting my cheek on his chest, listening to his steady breathing. He caresses my arm lazily with one hand while playing with my hair with the other. I draw circles on his pectorals with my finger. I was a spent and satisfied mess. I sighed with contentment.
Chad's POV 'Mate' Cobalt nags in my head. 'You made her get upset.' He's been complaining nonstop since I left the palace. "It was for her own protection. She is safe inside the palace." I retorted. I was feeling like a total jerk for leaving her like that. I did not need Cobalt's nagging to make
Bella's POV As we walk toward the hospital, I start to debate again whether to tell Chad the truth. Chad has demonstrated to me in many ways that he loves me, and yet I can not bring myself to tell him. My stomach plummets at just the idea of him seeing me differently when he learns that I'm part
Chad's POV Bella puts the towel away and starts brushing her hair. I could hear her heart racing. She's hiding something from me, and Hendrick knows all about it. Why can't she trust me as she trusts him? It takes her a minute to respond, but she does not look me in the eye. "What do you mean?
Bella's POV We all ran to the hospital. Lira left her baby with the nanny. Grace came back from the bathroom and joined us as well. The helicopters were landing, and the wounded were rushed inside the hospital. When Lira saw Trent on one of the stretchers, she bellowed. Her knees buckled, and she
