"You are mine," Marcus said, his breath warm against her skin.

A wave of panic swept over her. No. Not now. Not in this way.

“Stop!” she exclaimed, fighting desperately.

Her defiance only appeared to arouse him even more. His lips clung to her neck, his hold intensifying.

Then—boom!

The force of the blow threw Marcus backward. He collided with the other wall and collapsed to the floor.

A murmur spread among the assembled students.

Dave loomed above him, his face giving nothing away. His eyes were jet black, unsettlingly void of spirit, and his posture exuded primal, perilous strength. The air in the corridor grew heavy, electrified by his rage.

Bella’s heart raced.

Dave bent down, his hand grasping around Marcus’s neck. With ease, he raised him from the ground. Marcus gasped for breath, his arm dangling loosely.

Three hybrids navigated through the crowd. Morgan and Ben grabbed Marcus, holding onto his shoulders and arms. Sandra came to Bella's side, stabilizing her with a soft hand.

The shade accentuated the warm glow of her caramel skin, and for the first time in a long while, she felt lovely, unique, and worthy.Marcus would love it.A hidden smile curled her lips as she ran her fingers along the tiny mark on her shoulder made by his kisses the previous night. His voice echoed in her mind."I will claim you as mine because I plan to reveal everything about us to the whole pack tomorrow."Excitement twirled in her gut, blending exhilaration with anxiety. Today was not just Agnes' 18th birthday celebration; it marked a day when everything changed for Bella.No more being treated like a ghost in her own pack.

  • His Broken Vow   Betrayal Runs Deep

    A hush fell over the vast hall, thick with the scent of burning torches and the pressure of a thousand gazes. Bella remained frozen in the middle, her breath caught in her throat and her heart pounding like war drums against her chest. The experience was odd, resembling a distressing nightmare she was desperately trying to escape. "Will you be my mate, Agnes?"Marcus' intense, emotion-laden voice resonated throughout the hall, overpowering all whispers and murmurs. His words cut through Bella like a venomous blade, every utterance a fresh torment, a treachery beyond understanding.Her fingers moved slightly at her sides. Her lips opened, yet no sounds came out. A cold dread crawled down her back, coiling around her like a serpent. This was not happening. It might not be occurring. Agnes shouted, placing a gentle hand on her heart as tears of joy filled her eyes. "Absolutely!" she exclaimed, her tone filled with pride. The room burst into applause.Bella's breathing was rapid and ir

    The ceiling became fuzzy as Bella remained still on her bed, gazing at emptiness. Her mind shifted between fleeting awareness and the heavy burden pressing on her chest. She hardly recalled listening to voices—her mother’s, Amanda’s, Eve’s, and Joy’s—desperately calling out her name. Next arrives obscurity.As she propped herself up, the room swayed a bit, and she saw her mother nearby, watching her quietly. Bella's breath caught as she noticed tears running down her mother's face. Her chest pain intensified even further. "Honey," her mother cooed softly, opening her arms. Bella crumbled into her embrace. The warmth should have comforted her, yet it only highlighted how shattered she felt within her. Her voice broke as she sobbed, "Mum, Marcus rejected me." "My mate rejected me." The words felt bitter on her tongue. Expressing thoughts verbally made them feel more genuine. She had wished—prayed—that this was a terrible dream from which she would awaken. However, it was not.Bella s

    Bella sat at the edge of her bed, gazing at the paper Eve had placed in her hand. The words stared back at her, daring her to take an uncertain step.Be intentional about your looks—dress flirty to catch the attention of unmated males.Flirt with some guys to make Marcus jealous.Get a boyfriend… and sleep with him.Her chest tightened at the last one. "Really, Eve?" she asked, looking up at her friend in disbelief.Eve crossed her arms, unflinching. "Yes, Bella. You have nothing to lose if this theory works or not."Joy, who had been silent, suddenly placed a pen in Bella’s hand. “Sign it.”Even Joy?Bella hesitated. Joy had always believed in destiny, in the Moon Goddess’ will. But tonight, her eyes held no sympathy, only firm resolve."He doesn’t deserve your loyalty," Joy spat.Bella exhaled sharply, her fingers trembling as she signed the paper.********The next morning, Bella barely recognized herself.Eve had covered her broken mirror until the transformation was complete.

    Joy bounced in delight as she grabbed a tray from the lunch line. "I wish I was there," she exclaimed, her eyes bright."You should have seen her," Eve said, a self-satisfied sneer creeping over her lips. “I think I created a baddie.”Joy giggled, shooting a playful glance at her. “Remind me never to cross you two.”“You?” Eve snorted. “You’re innocently more cruel than us.”They laughed as they carried their trays to an empty table. The moment they sat, a wave of tension swept over them. From across the cafeteria, the popular table sat like a council of silent executioners. Agnes and her minions glared daggers, their expressions venomous. Marcus was absent, but the hostility in their gazes spoke volumes.Bella shrugged, tearing her gaze away. Whatever they expected from her—humiliation, regret, submission—they wouldn’t get it.“If looks could kill,” Eve murmured mischievously.Joy let out a snicker. “Then we’d be burying you right now.”Laughter erupted between them, but Bella’s thou

    The words hung in the silence between them, holding unexpressed significance.Bella gazed at Dave, her eyes tightening in perplexity. His attention shifted to her skirt."Are you serious?" she asked."Don't you think that skirt is a bit too short?" he said, changing the subject.Her breath caught. What?This was the last thing she expected him to say. Since when did he care what she wore? And why now? The question zipped through her mind, tangled in a net of confusionWhile she struggled to understand his comments, she sensed a sudden pull on her pocket. Her heartbeat accelerated. Dave had taken her phone back before she had a chance to respond."Hey—" she started, reaching for something, but he paid no attention to her.Without requesting her password, his fingers swiftly glided over the screen. A second later, the sharp buzz of his phone rang out. He canceled the call immediately and shoved her phone back into her palm.Her eyes widened."What the hell just happened?"Dave gave a sa

    Bella ran off happily, her spirits high despite the storm brewing. For a moment, she felt free. However, Marcus' rough snarl broke her concentration.Certainly, Eve had created a terrible person.A slight grin appeared on Bella's lips, yet she would not give in. Instead, she traveled down the wide path, letting her feet strike the ground in a steady rhythm. Just when she was about to lose herself in the experience, a loud honk from behind surprised her.Her head whipped around.Eve's dilapidated, shaky car approached her, kicking up dust as it moved. Eve's face while driving was filled with rage. Joy's gaze had the power to ignite the forest.Bella held her bag. "What?" she asked, raising an eyebrow."Come in!" both girls shouted at the same time.She stopped momentarily."O...alright," Bella stammered, shrugging as she got into the rear seat.Joy slammed the door closed."You left us!" she accused Bella.Eve gripped the steering wheel tightly and drove faster.

    Bella sat in the passenger seat. Her fingers moved uneasily under the fabric of her black dress. Andy sat next to her in his black tuxedo, a mysterious look on his face."I can't believe you agreed to go out with him." "He's a strange guy," Joy remarked when she told her friends."Perhaps," Bella shrugged. "Still, he has shown interest in me for as long as I can recall.""Joy," Eve called, "He might be the brooding scientist or the gentle vampire, as others frequently refer to him, yet he could simply be what Bella needs.""Okay," Joy replied, crossing her arms. "I still have no affection for him."Andy’s fingers lightly touched Bella’s bare thigh, pulling her back to the moment. A wave of discomfort struck her, yet she managed a faint smile."Are you alright?" he asked."Yeah," she lied. "Can you wind down the windows? I feel hot."A smirk curled his lips, but he obliged, rolling the window down before returning his hand to her lap. Bella carefully took it away this time, linking her

  • His Broken Vow   Stolen Glances

    Sunlight streamed in the window in the morning when Bella was standing in front of the mirror and evaluating her appearance. Something was wrong. Her skin was softer, glowing as if it had been kissed with moonlight. Her brown eyes were no longer dull. They were mesmerizing, hypnotic, and more radiant. Her eyelashes were longer, outlining them with deep, rich curves, and her eyebrows developed a stunning arch, dramatic yet subtle. Even her fuller, redder lips were glossy as if she had just wet them.She stroked her hair, enjoying the way the curls fell in a way never before, darker than ever, flashing light in hypnotic waves. Her body also altered, subtly, noticeably different. Her waist was more defined, hips more curvy, bust promising cleavage she never did before. Her jeans did not fit in the same manner before, the waistband a closer band than she was ever accustomed to.What's wrong with her?A frown tugged at the edge of her lip.

    Bella's stomach twisted as she entered the house and half-packed boxes scattered everywhere in the living room caught her eye. Some were tidily stacked and arranged for the move, but most of their belongings were still in their original positions. Her chest sank with a feeling of falling. Her mom had taken extra effort—packed and planned—but something was amiss. Too hurried. Too excited.She walked in the direction of the kitchen, hoping her mother would be rapidly filling up more, but instead discovered her sitting at the old wooden table, blankly staring out of the window. A steaming mug of tea rested in her hands, undrunk. The atmosphere surrounding her was thick and nearly oppressive."Mom?" Bella called softly.Her mother's eyes closed hard for a moment before she swung around to Bella, wearing a fake smile that did not touch her eyes. "Wow, you have returned."The forced cheerfulness in her tone sent danger signals racing through Bella's mind. Something was amiss."Mom, is somet

    Andy bolted out of the room, his exit swift and desperate. No one could blame him. If she had the choice, Bella would have done the same. But that option wasn’t hers anymore.Morgan slapped Dave reassuringly on the back, his face unreadable, and Sandra smiled uncertainly, knowingly at Bella as she departed. Ben stood longer, a twinkle of amusement in his eyes. His slow, widening smile was close to being lazy and untroubled. Winking roguishly, he clouted Dave on the back and departed, leaving Bella and Dave in solitude.The silence hung heavy and oppressive."Hi," Bella growled cautiously, smoothing the hem of her blouse into position.Dave didn't say anything. He just stood there, his intense eyes burning her.He was beautiful today. Dark wash jeans. A black T that hugged his body like a second skin. A cool leather jacket, scuffed just enough to give the impression he didn't care. His dark, rich hair, perpetually slightly undone in an intentional but careless way, accentuated his shar

    The evening was quiet. Bella lay in bed, her phone held to her side. She glanced at the time—10:57 PM.Would Dave come tonight?She had to speak to someone to release the agitation churning within her. The weight of her mother's decision was heavy in her heart. Leaving the pack was never her plan, but now it was unavoidable. Amanda had been sulking since their mother broke the news, storming off to her room in tears. It wasn’t that she loved the pack—far from it. She resented the way they were treated, but she had friends here, a life she wasn’t ready to abandon. Bella understood. It wasn’t easy.She thought of ringing Eve or Joy, but it was late, and she did not believe they would be awake after a full day at the Alpha's residence. She hadn’t even seen them when she took Amanda home. But the person she wanted to talk to was Dave.She hovered over his name on her phone. She could text him. Or call.But she wouldn’t.Her pride wouldn’t allow it.Besides, her mother wouldn’t have made t

  • His Broken Vow   Whispers beneath Moonlight

    Bella knelt, her pride battered but intact. The ceremony only began anew when her knees touched the icy ground, their silence a clear indication of where she belonged within this world—a world defined by power rather than preference. Chanting mounted again, riding the night sky, but it was all barely audible to her.Once they were done with the rituals, all of them proceeded to an empty area beside Alpha's home where the reception had already been set in motion. There was a mixture of sounds and smiles with the clinking of glasses and stomps of feet on the wooden dance floor.Bella stood with her friends, whose natural giggles turned to hollow quiet. Then, like a storm in the distance, came Luna Helena. She had exuded power and authority, and people felt diminished even just being in her presence."Come with me," she commanded, her voice commanding no refusal. She indicated Eve and Joy with a sharp gesture of her finger, the movement cutting through the air like a knife. The three gir

    “The customs of the humans in the other realm are slowly getting to us,” Joy whispered.Bella didn’t respond. Her eyes were locked on Agnes, but what she truly saw was herself in a flowing white gown, walking toward Dave. The mere thought of him filled her heart with joy.Eve, standing beside them, folded her arms. “Yeah, my mother used to say that in her time, it was open mating before the whole pack. Afterward, the older couples would step in, offering congratulations and advice.”Bella’s brows furrowed. “Open mating?”Eve nodded. “They’d mate in front of the whole pack.”The words made Bella’s stomach tighten. She eventually shifted her gaze away from Agnes and quickly faced Eve. "Are you saying that they—" she stopped, her voice softened, "—had their first time in public?""Indeed." Eve shrugged as if the idea didn't concern her. “And it had to be their first.”Bella grimaced. “You don’t say.”Eve gave a knowing smile, but whatever response she had was cut short when a pair of pie

    The evening atmosphere was heavy with expectation, yet within Bella's room, moments appeared to linger. She stared at her phone, wondering what the unread message was all about.Dave?She wasn't sure what she felt.Then she heard her mother's voice."Have you finished, dear?" Please don’t think too much about everything. It will all turn out fine.”Bella hesitated before responding. “Sure.”There was a pause, and her mother's tone became gentler. "We will be here for you." Kindly inform us when you have finished.The noise of departing footsteps was accompanied by a soft sob. Bella identified that noise. Her mother had been weeping. A feeling of powerlessness surrounded her. Regardless of her efforts, it appeared she was losing control of everything.She returned to the mirror and looked at her reflection. She absentmindedly traced her fingers over the fabric of the yellow dress, lost in thought."You appear gorgeous, Sugar."Her heart raced when she heard a loud voice behind her. Bel

    Dave was telling her what she wanted to hear, not necessarily what he felt. Bella could sense it. Like he was indulging her, giving her the moment she desired but only within his limits. The air between them shifted after that realization, yet Dave made an effort to make her feel at ease.As they walked away from the pack’s territory toward her home, conversation flowed effortlessly. Bella was surprised by how effortless it seemed to talk to him. It was a strange feeling, almost as if his energy had joined with hers. She decided to enjoy it."What is your age?" She asked, tilting her head reflectively.Dave laughed softly, his golden eyes sparkling with delight. "A hundred years.""Excuse me?" The words slipped out before she could hold them back. "Are you joking?" "You seem to be eighteen."He lifted his shoulders, and his lips formed a smile. "We age more slowly than any other being on the planet."Without hesitation, Bella lifted her hand and stroked his cheek, surprised by the sof
