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
JACE'S POV "Bella, come on. What's going through your mind? You can't leave; not when the undead are roaming around and an assassin is after your life." I voiced out, making my concern known to her. "Why do you care! You know what? Just go back to the pack, and save your people. I can take care of myself. And I promise to come back a better person." She said, then turned to leave. "What do you mean by that?" I grabbed her hand, unable to let her go, considering the danger that awaited her. "Just let me go!" She yelled and a strong force of air pushed me back, making me hit my head lightly on the wall. "Ouch!" I winced a little, and glanced at her. "What was that?" She looked shocked, and a bit confused, then she shook her head lightly with teary eyes. "I'm sorry, I've got to go." She said, then ran out. I tried to stand at that moment, but my head felt heavy. "Shit!" I cursed under my breath. I managed to get on my feet, and immediately I got out of the lounge, I sigh
