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
JACE’S POVI walked out of the room as I wanted to leave Bianca to process the reality of this false engagement by herself. Moreover, staying in the room with her after letting her know I wouldn’t be having anything with her, could only make matters worse and cause her to start asking questions which could get me frustrated.I headed off to the lounge as that was the perfect place right now to be alone, and of course, I would puff away the dampened feeling I had for accepting to marry Bianca.On getting to the lounge, I sat, and helped myself with a pack of cigarette and a bottle of alcohol. Then I leaned my back on the seat as I light up my cigarette and placed it in between my lips, then sucked in the air, and released it as a puff.At the snap of my fingers, a classic music came on.“Perfect.” I uttered under my breath. In no time, the air was filled with smoke, and I shut my eyes to drown in my thoughts.For days which I hadn’t set my eyes on Bella, it has been quite saddening for
BELLA'S POVMy eyelids fluttered open and I found myself in a quite familiar surrounding ,my former pack's lounge. I sat up immediately my head aching with pain and a gasp escaped my mouth, simultaneously."How did I get here ?,What am I doing in this place?" I said, under my breath, looking really baffled.Then the door opened, and behold, Jace walked in. My heart skipped a beat, and my body charged up, making me feel vibrations from all over. I went breathless for a moment as Jace was handsome as ever.In fact, he looked more attractive since the last time I saw him."You're awake. How are you feeling now?" He asked, with a look of concern on his face.I couldn't tell if that was real or fake because several times, he had confused me. I didn't know if he was truly in love with me or not."How did you find me? Did you see those zombies out there?" I asked, ignoring his question.Then he sighed."I was able to find you miraculously. I kept searching until I began to hear the raspy noi
BELLA’S POV The next day, I woke up to see that Jace wasn’t in the room as well. Already, his attitude since he came back from the war, was beginning to piss me off.I had waited for a few minutes, and hadn’t seen him, so I decided to go to the living room to check on him. On getting to the living room, I walked down to the kitchen, only to find him, making breakfast. This made my cheeks, flush, and burn.“I’m making breakfast, my lady. And it is done. It’s just for me to serve it.”I blushed, and covered my mouth as I wanted to cover how much I was blushing. “I never expected you to cook.” I said, with a smile, which revealed my teeth.“I know, right? But I was trying to make up for last night. I know I acted so strange, but I was really tired. So, I’ll be making up, this way.” He said, and winked at me.I felt an adrenaline rush through my veins, and the way I stared at him, I could tell something was going to go on. I could see it in his eyes, already.Then the atmosphere around u
BELLA’S POVIt had been two days now, and Bianca had been coming to our pack, without being stopped. Although, it was for the alliance reasons, but I wasn’t still okay with her presence.The evening breeze blew past me, softly, and I let out a sigh.“Hey. How long have you been here?” Jace asked as he wrapped his arm, around my waist. “Maybe an hour or two.” I responded with a smile, and then he gave me a kiss on my check. “Oh, really? I’ve been looking everywhere for you, but it didn’t come to my mind to check on this place.” Jace uttered, with a smile on his face.“Oh, really? Well, I’ve been here, sine you’ve been really busy with planning the war, with Bianca and her people.” I said, and looked back at the sky.“Hmm. Honey, I know you still aren’t comfortable with her presence, but if it’s left to me, I think she is much better, now. She isn’t giving this antagonistic vibe, anymore, neither is she trying to seduce me. So, I’ll say you should endure until the war is over, and I’m
BIANCA’S POVOn my way home in my car, I felt my heart grow sour. Recalling the way Jace had placed power in Bella’s hands, made my hatred grow for her, more and more. She didn’t deserve that power, neither did she deserve to be respected.I was trying my best to be calm, but just getting into my car, the pretense and the restrain I put in my anger, set loose. I was literally burning in anger. On getting to my home, I headed to my room, in great and sharp strides. On getting to my room, I threw away all the things that I kept on my table, and then kicked the table, as well.“Ahhh!” I screamed out in anger. “Shit!” I cursed out loud. That wasn’t enough to cool my temper, so, I removed my bed cover in anger, and threw it on the floor. As it fell to the floor, I began to stomp on it, like I was trying to rip into pieces with my toe, claws.Then my door flung open immediately, and Lyla dashed in.She walked up to me, and held my shoulders, then looked into my eyes.“I heard about how th
BELLA’S POVThe sun shone brightly on my skin as I stood at the balcony, with the intent of taking in Vitamin D. Even the sun’s brightness complemented my happy mood. To be able to overcome darkness or your enemy was one thing which made one feel very happy.Many people had always thought of Theresa to be the strongest witch, but ever since I came into the picture, that label had been washed off her.“Good morning, my love.” I heard Jac greet me as he walked into the balcony.And just before I could turn to look at him, his arms wrapped around me, and I felt butterflies fluttering in my stomach. All of me just wanted to snuggle in his arms, and if possible, become one with him.“Good morning, honey. How was your night?” I asked, with a smile as I looked at his hands which were knotted right below my breasts.“It was great, thanks to my love, who slept by my side.” Jace responded, and I couldn’t help but feel a burning sensation in my cheek.“Aww… that’s so sweet to hear. Well, how abo
BELLA’S POV“Never will I listen to your advice of giving in to failure.” I spoke with, confidence and a mix of anger.How dare she try to make me give up on people who had accepted me, and tell me to live alone, starting all over again, in looking for people who would accept me the way I am?I formed my hands into a ball, although, they didn’t connect. Then I could feel power emanating from my hands. Great power, and it was surging from inside of me. All I just wanted to do was to unleash it on Theresa, and most especially, Bianca.The power was building up, and finally! A great power, rested in my hands, and I was ready to throw it like a ball when Theresa created a force field that covered them like a transparent ball. But I wasn’t going to stop. I directed a force at them, and from the look of it, my mother seemed to be struggling, trying to endure the power force I lashed on them, and then I noticed she looked back at Bianca, like she was saying something.What could she be sayi

BIANCA’S POVI couldn’t let Jace get away with what he did, dumping me like that like a piece of trash. Even if what we had agreed on, was no longer valid, he ought to fear how capable our pack was, of destroying him. To think that he was going to have a mating ceremony very soon, got me angrier. What effrontery!But then, I wanted to get his pack into ruins to an extent that it would never be able to rise again, and to do that, I needed something more powerful than the physical. To achieve that, I would probably need the help of a witch.Considering the fact that they had a witch in their midst, which was none other than Bella, I had to also get a powerful witch who would be able to defeat her, and that’s also none other than Theresa, her mother.What was interesting about this, was the fact that both mother and daughter were going to war against each other, and with what I have heard, Theresa doesn’t want to acknowledge Bella as her daughter, so that was to our advantage.“Come clos
BELLA'S POVI wondered what Matthew had called Jace for, but it was obvious it was for pack issues. It was expected that he would have to sort out some things; especially after the zombie invasion and what had transpired between him and the Red Wolf Pack.Knowing the Red Wolf Pack, I just hoped that things were going to go smoothly, and there wouldn't be any cause for alarm or sort.It had been almost thirty minutes and I was beginning to think if I should just quit waiting for him and lie on the bed until I sleep off. I wouldn't want to distract him from doing his pack duties. Everyone looked up to him as the Alpha, so he had to live up to their expectations and plan the best for them.Just when I made move to lie on the bed, the door opened and I looked towards the door."I'm sorry I delayed you a bit." Jace apologized as he walked up to me, and joined me sitting on the bed."Oh, it's fine. You're now the Alpha, and the one everyone is looking up to, so I should understand all the
JACE’S POV“Jace, please believe me. He…He tried to rape me” Bianca pleaded as she followed me through the hallways which led to the living room.“Oh, shut it, Bianca! Who cuddles with a rapist? He tried to rape you or you already both had the sex.” I voiced out, feeling irritated by the lies she was spitting out.I didn’t really give a damn about her explanation or what really transpired between them. It was time to do the necessary, since everything had now come to an end.“Is there something wrong?” The Alpha of the Red Wolf asked as I got to the living room.They had all settled down since everything was over, and now at peace.“I’ve come here to make an important correction.” I said as I stood firmly.He looked at me like he , like he was trying to read my mind then he drifted his eyes to look at Bianca.“I’ll be ending the contract with you. Since Alpha Diablo is dead, there is no need for me to get myself entangled with her. We can now go our separate ways.” I stated, and a loo
