Repentance and regretEdina shepherd's POV."These people are so evil," I whispered to Katana, who was also paralyzed with fear from the stranger calling herself Queen Zita who had confidently strolled into Jacob's territory without an invite.The protection spell I cast did not work because my grandson lay on the floor wounded. My intuition told me to cast a powerful protection spell on the park and Jacob as soon as I returned from the great Oracle.Pythia had told me not to intrude but who am I not to protect my only remaining bloodline… I glanced around the room while a cold sweat trickled from the tempo of my skull.The first instinct in my mind is that I'm slowly forfeiting my ability to perform any sustainable spell to ward off evil beings such as Queen Zita.The peculiar hag just flickered her fingers toward my Jacob and he carelessly tumbled to the floor… The aura she possessed was the strongest I had ever encountered, second to pythias' and it felt like what Bella exhibited w
Bella's POV."Bella…I'm sorry for everything I have done to you intentionally." Edina's raspy voice constantly echoed in the back of my mind as I glanced at myself in the wall mirror above the faucet.Was Edina'a apology sincere? Anyway, I will take it even if it wasn't as genuine as she let it out... Thank goodness she is gone. That will be one less person to be fearful of ill-treatment. I sighed merrily while my eyes caught a reflection of the egg-shaped black tub in the mirror and all the happy naughty memories I shared with Jacob that morning surged in my mind and I chortled while gently stroking my lips and my neck with my fingers.I love you, Bella... With these words, my body and core quivered with extreme ecstasy relieving the sensual moment. Jacob was definitely the best thing that ever happened to me. I sighed merrily.Thank you, moon goddess.I opened the faucet and washed my face then placed them on the edge while my thoughts lingered back to Jacob thrusting his cock insi
Bella's POV."I can explain. I didn't mean to abandon you." my mother said while maintaining eye contact with a smile. I sighed, dreading her presence as she took a seat next to me and I peeked at her with a tight-lipped smile. I despised her for taking off without me."Go ahead," I replied. She let out a long breath and then proceeded to tell me the most bizarre story I have ever heard in my entire life.Sitting quietly, I paid great attention to her telling me her side of the story which explained all the odd trances I was facing in the past two months and that I was a hybrid… half wolf, half siren.What the fuck? I lived an imitative life without knowing all this information...I was frozen and staring with wide eyes. My birth mother was my father's side chick and John had no shame in impregnating my poor defenseless mother who was only seeking refuge from the barbaric ways of life in Pavlopetri city.This is too much information to digest in one day.I gasped as I placed my palm
The deep blue sea.Bella's POV.With conflicting emotions, I quietly strolled with my mother doing most of the talking. I despised the little misunderstanding I had with Jacob that my mind was left with him back at the manor. Suddenly we approached the devil's pond.The devil's pond? I frowned. All the times I have been to this place have been deadly for me hence I questioned my mother. Could she be one behind all my attacks here? My heart thumped wildly."Eh, Mom, why are we here?" A surge of intense fear rushed over me but I braved on to ask the awful question."This is the gate to pavlopetri." She replied with elegance while gazing at me. "oh, okay. I did not know that ." I felt silly for nearly accusing my mother of my misdeeds." Baby, I was meaning to ask, do you fight a lot with Jacob?" She raised a question with a solemn face..."No, that was the first time." I sighed with a faraway look. "Oh, anyway, cheer up. You are going to visit mommy's home and hopefully, it will be yo
Bella's POV. I opened my eyes, and I was in a dungeon type of cell or prison used to hold prisoners, particularly in medieval times. "Mom?" I moaned in pain. My body ached like that of someone who has been beaten senselessly. "Jacob?" I moaned with tremendous pain all over my body while I tried to move my limbs but they were bound to silver chains that burnt my wrist. I was in so much pain that any slight movement caused an even more massive ache. Where am I? The place was dark, damp, and unpleasant. 'Babe, please help me.' I tried to mind link to Jacob who did not respond to me. How far did those fucking Rogues take me out of the midnight pack? When a wolf is taken out of its territory, it is unable to mind link to any pack member unless there was one nearby… 'Mom, can you hear me?' I made effort to call my mother, but she too was silent. Shit, I darted around the room. The dungeon-like prison cell consisted of a small, windowless room with thick stone walls and a heavy, iron
Alpha Jacob's POV.Twenty-four hours passed and Bella had not returned back from pavlopetri city she had gone to visit with her new estranged mother.Don't get me wrong, I was happy a blood relative had returned to her life who might shed more light on her strange abilities and dazes… but it was Bella leaving the pack with a woman she barely knew that was very frustrating. I loved her greatly but it was the way she objected to me refusing her to leave that got me angry at first but now I was restless that my mate was not by my side.A day without her felt like torture to the soul while I tirelessly searched for her with the help of the pack but surprisingly she came back with a pack of Rogues and Epsilon Emilio following her like a pack of senseless dogs.At first, it was strange to witness such an odd incident but then I remembered that she was a hybrid, able to command an army with just her hypnotic voice. But why did she look like that, messy and tired? I scuffed my hair with a smi
Alpha Jacob's POV.The pack members exchanged glances, unsure of what to believe. But I remained focused, my eyes fixed on the task at hand. "I must complete the banishing ritual," I said firmly. "It is my duty to protect the pack from danger, and your father is one."Samantha pleaded with me, but I continued the ritual, pouring all of my energy into the spell. Finally, as the last words left my lips, the bright light from my hand faded away. The pack members gasped in shock and horror, unable to comprehend what had just happened. But I knew that I had done what was necessary to restore order and justice to the pack.I turned to face my pack, my voice ringing out with the authority of the alpha. "Let it be known that justice has been served. Epsilon Emilio has been banished from our pack for his crimes. Let no one question my final say in this matter." With that said, my warriors dragged Emilio out of my presence to be left at the boundaries of the territory.There were murmurs of as
Bella's POV.A day later, Jacob surprised me with my mother's presence and I was happy to see her after a few days of her absence… it was the little things like this that made me appreciate him even more.I told Mother about my ordeal with Emilio and his banishment and how the pack was at uneasy days that followed."Sweetie, I love how you handled yourself at that moment, but I think I need to train you so that you can fully will your abilities at your will." She said with a serious voice."Okay, Mom," I responded without hesitation because I knew how powerful she was and her training me would not be a bad idea because I got to use it as an excuse to bond with her more. "So when can we start?" I asked with an inquisitive stare like that of a toddler wanting to spend more time with its mother.You can't blame me, I was deeply deprived of motherly love from a tender age. I let out a tight-lipped crimson smile."I have some free time today, so we can start right now." She answered back.
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
