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
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
Bella'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 t
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
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
