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
JACE'S POVThe past few days had been quite hectic,the pressure placed upon me by the elders to seek revenge has been quite overwhelming. I decided to cool off at the lounge instead of the Alpha's mansion, that way I can gather my thoughts."The Alpha and Luna of the Red Wolf Pack are here." Matthew informed me as he walked into the lounge bar.On hearing that , My heart skipped a beat, that was quite hasty I felt . I really wasn't expecting their visit, at least not so suddenly, besides I haven't decided to agree to their terms of mating with Bianca yet . I withdrew the cigarette from my lips and puffed out a thick smoke which filled the air for a moment."Did they come with Bianca?" I asked, out of curiosity."I'm not so sure about that. But only the Alpha and Luna has made their presence and have now been escorted to the meeting hall. Is there a reason you asked?""No. Nothing in particular." I responded, and took one last gulp from my glass of alcohol. "Alright, let's leave." I sa
BIANCA’S POVAs the door opened all of a sudden, my heart almost beat out of my chest. My eyes widened in shock as I discovered it was Jace, and his eyes were on what I was doing; searching through the seemingly confidential document.“What are you doing in my room, Bianca? And what are your hands doing on confidential documents?” He questioned, with a serious expression.“Uhm… I…I was drawn by the intoxicating scent that emanated from your room.” I said as I sauntered towards him in a seductive manner.I hoped that he would at least fall for my tricks as I have no solid explanation to give him. And even If he was still going to ask, I could have thought of a good excuse to give him which he would undoubtedly believe.Jace looked at me like he was trying to figure out what I was up to, but before he could say another word, I drew closer to him, and wrapped my arms around him, then leaned my lips to his ear.“You don’t know how happy I am to be with you.” I whispered to his ears, and p
BELLA'S POV I was still in shock over the woman who shared semblance with me. The ritual was meant to hold, this night, and I couldn't wait to see her face again. Apart from the striking semblance, there was this strange aura I felt around her that had an impact on me in one way. Although, I still can't make out what I felt anytime she was around me, but I was sure to find out. Alpha Diablo had dismissed the fact that we shared the same face as he was more concerned about the ritual of making his dead son come back to life. Probably after the whole thing, I might walk up to her, and find out a few things hopefully. A knock came on my door and I got down from the bed to attend to the person knocking. "Good evening. The Alpha has asked for your presence at the field, everything is ready it is time." The maid informed me politely. "Alright, thank you." I appreciated her, and followed after her. I didn't know how to feel while I was heading towards the field. I wasn't so sure of
