Bella pov"Please don't call my Alpha," I uttered, my voice trembling with fear and confusion.Alpha Diablo and his men turned around slowly to face me, their expressions unreadable. I swallowed hard, feeling the weight of their questioning gazes bearing down on me.Alpha Diablo sized me up with a calculating gaze, his movements deliberate as he took a few steps closer, narrowing the distance between us. His eyes locked onto mine, his voice laced with curiosity and a hint of suspicion. "You don't want me to call your Alpha?" he questioned, his tone probing for answers."Yes, please," I stammered, my voice barely above a whisper, my heart pounding in my chest.Alpha Diablo scrutinized me suspiciously, his eyes boring into mine as he questioned, "And why?"After a few moments of gathering my thoughts, I responded, my voice shaky with nerves, "For honor and respect."Laughter erupted in the room, the sound ringing in my ears as I lowered my gaze in embarrassment. Alpha Diablo's amused sm
Bella povJust as Alpha Diablo closed the gap between us, he wiped the sweat from his forehead with the silver blade, drawing a small trickle of blood, he fixed his gaze on me with an unsettling smile."Look at that, it's blood," he remarked, turning to his men, who erupted into laughter. The sight sent a chill down my spine, and I couldn't help but tremble under his intense stare.His smile vanished as he turned back to me, his expression turning cold and menacing. "Don't make me repeat myself, Omega," he thundered, his voice echoing through the room. I felt tears welling up in my eyes as I pleaded for mercy. "Please don't hurt me, sir. I didn't do anything," I begged, my voice trembling with fear.For a moment, Alpha Diablo held my gaze with a fierce intensity. Then, to my surprise, his expression softened, has he returned the knife back into the pouch and he extended his arms towards me. "Come to me," he said, his voice gentler now. I couldn't believe what I was hearing, and I had
Bella povAs Fredo's denial hung in the air, Alpha Diablo's reaction was swift and merciless. With a swift movement, he seized Fredo by the neck and pulled out the silver blade from his pouch the silver blade gleaming ominously in his grasp. Before anyone could react, the blade sliced through Fredo's neck with a sickening sound, and his head tumbled to the ground, leaving behind a lifeless body.Cold chills raced down my spine as the gruesome scene unfolded before my eyes. The room fell into a stunned silence, broken only by the sound of Alpha Diablo's heavy breathing. Even Alpha Mark, known for his stoicism, took a step back, his expression betraying a hint of shock."Ouch, poor guy had it coming," Alpha Mark remarked callously, his tone devoid of empathy. Everyone stared at him in disappointment.Beta Brian, Fredo's father, collapsed to his knees, his anguished cry piercing the air. "My son!" he wailed, his voice filled with despair and grief, but no one paid him any attention.Mean
Jace PovI fell to my knees, disbelief coursing through me as I gazed at my father's lifeless body. It felt like a nightmare, one I desperately wanted to wake up from. Glaring at Alpha Diablo, my eyes burned with pain and rage. "YOU! What have you done? You madman!" I thundered, my voice shaking with emotion.Alpha Diablo regarded me with a cold stare, his demeanor unyielding. "Choose your words carefully, young lad. Your father had this coming. He brought this upon himself."I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Fury surged within me, and I felt the urge to shift into my wolf form and put an end to this nightmare once and for all. But as my claws began to appear, a sharp pain pierced my chest, and I slumped to the ground, clutching at my chest as I struggled to breathe.Through blurred vision, I saw Bella dashing towards me, concern etched on her face. "My love, be careful," she urged, reaching out to touch me. But at her touch, a surge of anger and irritation washed over me. "Don't
JaceBeta Ryan stumbled back from the force of the punch, his expression a mix of surprise and anger. He wiped the blood from his lip and glared at me with intensity."You're more shameless than I thought, Jace" he spat, his voice laced with venom. "You're not fit to be alpha if you're going around hitting your own pack members. And even worse, you can't avenge your father's death. You are nothing but a disappointment"That statement hit a nerve, and I pinched my cigar tightly, but I was determined not to let him get the best of me. I stared deep into his eyes as i watched him wiped the blood from his lips."And you, are you any better than I am?" I retorted, my voice cold. "What kind of father would not have the guts to avenge the death of his own son?"I took a drag from my cigar, puffing it into Beta Ryan's face making him cough in a feat to humiliate him. He stood silent, avoiding my gaze, his face to the floor."That's what I thought," I continued, my tone dripping with disdain.
Jace"That makes no sense!" I barked out loudly as I paced around angrily. "How could he make such a selfish demand of me?" I added.Beta Bryan cleared his throat before chiming in, "It's not such a big deal, Jace. Besides, I think she's a lot better looking than Bella. I've seen her once when she came around for dinner the last time, and she's gorgeous, with those puppy eyes and that skin like milk. A man like me would give anything to have her in my bed. You're so lucky."I stopped in my tracks and gave Beta Bryan a death glare, making him shift uncomfortably as he visibly swallowed hard on his saliva. In a low, chilling tone, I threatened with a glimpse of rage and annoyance, "I swear if you don't shut the hell up, I'll dig my claws into your chest.""Pardon me, young Alpha," Beta Bryan pleaded, bowing his head in homage.I ignored his stupidity as I continued pacing around in contemplation. Thoughts about Bella began running through my mind, about our hopes and dreams. We could ha
Jace The question took me by surprise, and it felt like a bucket of cold ice was poured over my head. I swallowed hard and stammered, "Bella...?"The silence that followed was deafening, and the elder stepped forward with a smirk on his face. "What's the matter, Jace? Cat got your tongue?""Hmm," I muttered, struggling to find the right words to respond with. But just before I could find the right words, the elder struck again, satisfaction in his eyes. Clearly, he had me right where he wanted me. "Or maybe you didn't hear the question clearly the first time. Allow me to repeat it then. Are you going to kill Bella when you get a chance, yes or not?" With a smile on his face, he continued, "It's really not such a difficult question when you think about it, you know. Not only did she contribute to the Alpha's death, she has taken sides with the enemies or am I wrong?"The crowd was starting to give me doubtful glances and questioning looks. I was really getting uncomfortable to an alar
BELLA’S POVIt had been a few days since the incident which happened between Jace and I, and it still felt like it happened just yesterday.My heart had shattered into pieces when Jace gave me a sharp glare and called me a witch,it was horrible having him glare at me like he used to do in the past , before we discovered that we were mates. Even though they were random times when some people in the pack called me a witch and made fun of me, I never expected that Jace would ever call me that, not when we acknowledged the fact that we were mates.Alpha Diablo’s guards had led me to a room that night and I must say, he kind of treated me better than anyone ever did at my former pack. Since I had been staying here, he had made my stay comfortable. He wasn’t all the rumors had painted him to be, he was quite a very hospitable man. But then, I couldn’t feel the joy I was supposed to feel, because Jace whom I loved, had left me, and returning to the pack after alpha marks death wasn't even a
