Bella's POV.Cupping my lips together with my index finger lightly resting on top of them, I let out a naughty tight-lipped smile across my face while relieving every moment of the kiss, Alpha Jacob planted on me a few minutes ago... He had just broken my lip's virginity... If there was ever such a thing as lip virginity lol.My journey to womanhood was right on track with my rightful fated mate. And I was finally delighted that my stars were aligned with my destiny.Even though I knew Samantha was going to be a nuisance if I did not put her in her place immediately, never was I going to allow her to hijack my happily ever after, as Crystal did. I sexually licked both my lips thinking of all the other possible things I should have done after Jacob kissed me. I glanced down at the tiled floor gazing at my well-manicured feet.Maybe I should have stayed and allowed him to mark me... But what if he is still in love with Avery or any other woman? My simile faded away to that vicious notio
Bella's POV.Half an hour later…The wind blew out my hair on my way to an unknown destination Alpha Jacob did not want me to know. With soft romantic music playing in the background, the two doorless army green jeep Wrangler zig-zagged up the hilly terrain while my eyes zoomed around to see if I could spot anything on the horizon.Where is he taking me? I glanced at him secretly. My stomach was flustered with merry anxious butterflies.I was not worried about where he was taking me but rather, what he was planning on doing to me… was I going to lose my virginity?If his answer was yes, then I wanted to take charge of this matter because I had clearly envisioned everything about that special moment in my life. From his first touch, kiss, foreplay, and finally the breaking of my hymen, and my reaction to all this… all that I wanted was to be aware of when it would take place so that I was mentally ready…don't laugh at me, just allow a girl to dream big for her first mating session wit
Alpha Jacob's POV.Edina shepherd, my grandma, decided to leave and go visit her hocus pocus silly oracle who would tell her if Bella, my second chance mate, was good enough for me or not. As for me, I had zero care for what her oracle would say about my mate. It took the goddess to have pity on me and mate me to a second mate which was a rare occurrence in a wolf's lifetime.I was happy for once that I would not live the rest of my life single and lonely… but spend making new memories with Bella. The walls I had built to protect my former mate Avery had tumbled down and I knew that Avery would also never want me to spend the rest of my remaining life alone… that is why I decided to officially mark Bella as my equal, my partner, my mate, and my last chance mate. I planned to take on a date to one of the highest Carpathian mountains which overlooked the territory of my midnight pack."Yes, Alpha. That is a great idea. Lady Bella will be pleased. That place is beautiful." Nick responded
Alpha Zach's POV."Alpha, we respect you, but we need to know when your Luna will give us an heir?" Epsilon Avram said reminding me of the fact that it's been over two months since I marked crystal yet she had not yet taken in with child even though I sexed her every single miserable day of mine.I hated her, she was disgusting, and everything about her pushed me away from her, she was like a nauseating feeling that would never go away no matter how much I tried, all I wanted was my true mate Bella, but how would I get her back to the pack?I was ready to reject Crystal for my true love if she had to return… but how was I going to do so without waging war on Alpha Jacob Shepard of the midnight pack.His pack was bigger and stronger in all ways possible and he would easily defeat me should I attempt to make such a stupid hasty decision.But how was I going to retrieve my Bella from that thief? My thoughts lingered while the elders barked at one another about the reason why crystal my s
Edina shepherd's POV.A month later..."Mistress, it has been over five hours, not to talk of the fruitless days we have spent here waiting for the Oracle... Will he see us today?" Katana inquired in a soft voice."Patience, katana. The Oracle will see us when the time is right." My eyes were shut while I tried to meditate for good positive energies around me.Katana was right because we have been waiting for the Oracle to see us for days since we arrived but nothing fruitful was born as we were made to wait for days without even glancing at the said Oracle. He or she was a good friend of mine but I wondered why they kept me waiting and attended to other people's needs."Mistress, I know patience is a virtue, but this is too much stress to handle." She said with failing hands, and I could tell she was becoming very agitated. "He or she is your good friend but won't attend to you even after being announced by his gatekeepers." She sighed heavily with a scowl.The journey to the Greek i
Alpha Jacob POV."Good morning Nick, did the doctor come to see Bella yesterday afternoon?" I strolled barefoot in the mansion as I had just returned from seeking advice on Bella's new bizarre sickness which caused her to withdraw from the public eye because every time she got one of her attacks, her eyes changed color to green and she was dazed in long trances which caused her nose bleeds after she snapped out of it All she ever said to me was that something was calling to her from the devil's pond.I was frightened by that thought because she once drowned in the said pond sometime back and died. It only took the will of the goddess to bring her back to life.I informed the elders about the new development about her and the only response I got was that she will be fine and I should give her time to settle in the pack, but it's been two long months and her condition was getting worse by the day. The only thing that made her happy is to stroll in the garden and sing one of her beautif
Bella's POV.Two long dreadful months later after Alpha Jacob marked me as his Luna...I was once bright, bubbly, and ambitious, even. I had dreams about how I would spend my happily ever after with my Alpha Jacob who had even stopped eating because of the conditions was faced with, he was always on the phone conversing with people who could lend assistance to me and give him a proper insight into my new ailment.It all happened on that fateful day that he marked me that my smiles ceased to happen, or if they did, they looked so dead. There wasn't any shine in my eyes when I smiled. It was like a plastic doll, eyes in a daze, distant in thought. It was as if I was always somewhere else. My head, perhaps? Or maybe a whole different world that I was yet to stumble upon.The devil's pond summoned my soul and it was becoming hard to resist its pull… that's where I spent most of my time when I was in trance... But luckily Jacob was always nearby to stop me from jumping in it.There was al
Bella's POV."W…who is there?" I forced my sharp claws out of my fingers to defend myself because I was tired of always playing the damsel in distress all the time.The shadows dancing beneath the door paused, as though whoever was there was giving attention to me."I will rip out your heart if you dare come into this room." I braved myself, ready to attack.suddenly my breathing became calmer, my heartbeat and pulse slowed down in a pleasant way, and my reality distanced itself away from me as I dazed off in yet another trance.Not again, moon goddess, I cringed my eyes shut to try and stop it... but I was too late to try to control anything as my facial expressions relaxed with my mouth slightly opening up in the process and that's when I knew that I could not stop the inevitable… I was going back in trance and I dreaded the timing of it because for all I know there could be a dangerous rogue roaming on the other side of the door.My entire body became deeply relaxed with involuntar
Bella's POV."Give us one big push." The midwife said in a high-pitched voice while she damped a wet white cloth on my forehead.I lay on the hospital bed, my body wrenching and groaning in pain as I went through the labor of delivering my twin boys.Yes, I was pregnant with twin Alpha heirs to the midnight pack and Jacob couldn't be more thrilled than I was as he stood by my side, holding on to my left leg."Yes honey, push I can see the baby's head."Yes lady Bella, your first baby is crowning." The doctor said with a bright crimson smile."I can't do it, it hurts so much." I whimpered as warm tears trickled down my face."Yes, you can do it." My mate was by my side, trying his best to comfort me, but the agony I was enduring was beyond his power to soothe me."One final push." The doctor peeked at me and this time around, she had a face mask covering her face."Okay, I can do it." I nodded my head, braving myself, and pushed with all my might."Arrrgh," I screamed painfully and Jaco
Alpha Jacob POV.As I and my group of warriors stormed Alpha Zach's mansion with great stealth, we made sure to kill each and every warrior we encountered to lessen Zach's manpower.'Spread out, and remember, kill on sight.' I ordered in mind link and continued to follow Bella's strong scent while I could hear the sounds of screaming coming from upstairs. I hurriedly made my way through the mansion, my heart racing with only the thought of finally being able to reunite with my beloved Bella. When I reached a door that had the strongest scent of Bella, I knew that I had found her, without hesitation, I slammed the door with my left shoulder, forcing it to open wide.Bella…my heart leaped with joy but soon sank to my guts because of the condition I had found her in… she was bound and gagged, nearly naked, with a seer dressed in a red cloak, standing over her, forcing her to drink a potion. The room was filled up with mountain ash smoke and I instantly knew that she was rendered powerl
The invasion.Queen Zita's POV.Six hours later, we arrived in Alpha Zach's territory. It was a weekday and most of his pack members were indoors… I took my group of warriors to the west side of the village, while Alpha Jacob took his warriors straight to Zach's mansion.The warriors who accompanied me were highly skilled and trained in the art of stealth and infiltration. They made sure to carefully plan our route, avoiding detection from any potential guards or patrols. And the darkness gave us a great advantage from being detected, as we used the shadows to conceal our movements. We all wore dark clothing to blend in with our surroundings.The moon and the stars were concealed by the night clouds in the sky and the air was still, making the environment suitable for an ambush attack."Queen, that is Beta John Wood's house." One of the warriors who were conversant with Zach's territory said. He was pointing out to a medium-sized house with a dimmed lamp post on its porch.I looked at
Alpha Jacob's POV.A few days later after the missing of Bella…I paced back and forth in the training arena while Queen Zita watched me formulate a new tactical plan for my quest to find Bella. We had been searching for days, but our search had hit a brick wall. I had followed every lead, searched every corner of their territory, and even expanded our search to neighbouring territories, but we had come up empty-handed."That plan won't work because we have tried it already." Queen Zita's calm enchanting voice spoke. She stood firm in the center of the arena while she tried her echolocation for the hundredth time but it yielded no results.At first, when she came back from having her meeting with her elders, her peculiar-looking warriors and mine searched frantically until it yielded no immediate results, therefore causing the morale to die down. Hence she was forced to send her warriors back to her home because it was left unprotected from her enemies in her absence.I agreed hesitan
Crystal's POV.Still seated on his lap, I gave attention to Zach's eyes as they kept flickering from their normal color to a yellowish glow as if he was trying to fight the effects of the love potion.Fuck, I better think fast to keep him dazed…I started running my fingers along his firm chest while lovingly gazing at him."How about you give me a good time, then we can talk about Bella." He said while using his eyes to signal me where I was needed. His crotch…. His eyes were fixed on his groin, and that was where my attention was needed. I sighed softly while seductively flickering my eyes. Finally, my wolf wailed heartily. She had been wanting some affection from Zach, and this was it... She lustfully looked deep into his eyes.Without hesitation, I quickly jerked up from his lap and took off my red-laced panties, arched my back, and unzipped his trousers, he then assisted me by removing his spring-hard dick.Wow, I guess the potion worked and he wants only me now. I glanced at hi
Crystal's POV.Standing at the corner of a huge pillar in the hallway, my eyes gave attention to Zach leaving the room Bella was imprisoned in.It's been twenty-four hours since I told Daddy about Bella's predicament, and he had done nothing about it. What was so hard about him just making a call to Alpha Jacob and asking what was going on?Alpha Zach's promise to consider my request was also in vain...I peeped at him and he looked somewhat agitated by whatever was going on in the room. I sighed softly while looking over my shoulder to make sure no one saw me spying on my own mate. It was late at night and Zach had given strict orders for no one to enter Bella's room without his permission or saying so.I sneered internally because this new normal of having to compete for Zach's attention with my own sister was becoming ridiculous. it was reminding me of the past but this time I had to help my sister out of the cold claws of Zach's…I pray Bella rejects his offer of giving him an heir
Bella's POV."Child?" That word sounded absurd coming from Zach's mouth. How dare he say something that doesn't exist. I furrowed my brows. "What child are you talking about?" I looked at both Zach and his Oracle with a frown. These fuckers don't know what they are talking about. If I was pregnant, I would have known.The rude shock of awakening in Zach's territory was shocking enough news than what I just heard. I took short breaths in and out while I braved on and stared them both down.Zach and the Oracle looked at me with quizzical stares and kept to themselves. The room became dead silent, the only thing I could hear we're the bird chirping outside the window.I slowed down my breathing, closed my eyes, and made effort to muster all my powers stowed within me but I failed to trigger them for reasons I could not understand. I darted at the Silver chains cuffed to my wrists with a frown because I was stronger than silver. I proved this in one of my training sessions with Jacob.Jaco
Alpha Zach's POV.I stood over the prone form of Bella, my prize. I had captured her so easily, using my superior strength and cunning to overpower her. Now she lay before me, drugged into a deep sleep.I put her in one of my many bedrooms and chained her with bronze and silver chains as instructed by my ally Beta Samantha.I smirked triumphantly as I pushed back tiny bits of her loose hair to the back of her ear. I looked at my prized possession with great satisfaction because, for the first time in months, I had my true mate right where I wanted her to be…under my roof and territory.My eyes fell on her plump succulent lips and my wolf wailed just for a small piece of them.Kiss her, rip her clothes off, and fuck her hard Alpha… I licked my lips slowly and seductively just in case she woke up and saw my sexy hot face…I gasped as I tried to control my dirty thoughts...As soon as we had gotten into my territory, I ordered my warriors to be on high alert because I knew Alpha Jacob wou
Crystal POV.It was dusk and I had chosen to run to my mother and rant as a BBC reporter assigned to a war zone...What I saw was too gruesome and disturbing to keep to oneself."Mom, Alpha Zach has Bella, heavily drugged and bound by silver chains in one of the chambers at the mansion.""What? Crystal, do you know the consequences of what you are saying?" My mother asked with a frown. She then crossed her arms on her chest while she gave me a look that questioned my sanity.She was seated on the swing on her home's porch…I stopped pacing back and while I glanced at her with a serious quizzical gaze. How dare she question my statement like that??? Like what great reward would I get for lying about my mate and Alpha? I sighed heavily."Mother, are you going to listen to me or judge what I have to say about the Alpha?" I asked."Okay fine," she rolled her eyes and sighed softly. "Tell me what Alpha Zach did this time around." She said sarcastically.I peeked at Mom, with a raised eyebr
