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 pov"Bella!!!" I heard my name echoed through the walls, cutting short my slumber. I jumped out of my bed, my heart pounding out of surprise."What now, how can I help you?" I grumbled, my voice laced with irritation as I stepped into my flip flops, I've worked all day switching from one chore to the next, barely had any sleep, and yet my nap is still interrupted. I rubbed the sleep from my eyes and struggled to get up on my feet, only to set eyes on jace, the son of our alpha, and next in line for the alpha Title.Jace had been a constant thorn in my flesh for as long as I could remember, it's like his determined to make my life a living hell, for reasons I'm not even sure about, maybe it's because he likes me and I've rejected him countless times. The dim moonlight filtering through the windows illuminated his imposing figure, his green amber eyes glowed brightly in the dark. He wore an impatient scowl as he crossed his arms, his gaze locked onto mine."Bella, I need my
Jace's pov"Stupid bitch"I cursed under my breath as i Laid on the floor, clutching my pain-stricken self. The pain radiating from that unfortunate kick Bella delivered was unbearable."Damn you Bella, I'll make your life more miserable than it already is." I muttered through gritted teeth, a mix of anger and embarrassment welling up inside me.Before I could compose myself, the door to my room burst open, my two best friends, who were awake playing video games in the sitting room russed in, Fredo and Matthew. Their expressions were a mix of concern and confusion as they saw me writhing on the floor."What the hell happened, Jace?" Fredo exclaimed, his voice filled with alarm.Matthew leaned in closer, his brows furrowing. "Are you okay, man?"I struggled to my feet, my pride stung just as much as my throbbing pain. "It's nothing guy's," I lied, avoiding their gazes, by balls aching badly with pain. "Just a clumsy accident that's all. I tripped over something."Fredo exchanged a sk
Bella PovThe morning sunlight streamed through the windows, I had spent a restless night worrying about Jace's reaction to the kick he'd received. Terrified of what might happen next, I tried my best to stay out of his path, to avoid any confrontation.But fate had other plans for me. The pack mistress, a stern and unyielding figure, approached me with a scowl. "Bella, you're assigned to clean the Alpha's mansion today. Don't dawdle," she ordered, her tone making it clear that there was no room for negotiation.My heart sank as I reluctantly accepted my fate, and I made my way to the grand mansion, feeling like a mouse tiptoeing into a lion's den. I knew Jace was in there, somewhere, possibly still nursing his injury.As I moved through the pristine halls with a mop in hand, I couldn't shake the feeling of being an intruder in this opulent world. I heard voices ahead and slowed my steps, dreading the inevitable encounter.The room was adorned with expensive furnishings and decorated w
Bella's POVAs I fled from the mansion, my heart weighed heavy with a confusing mix of emotions, I found myself in a quiet corner of the pack's lush garden. The vibrant colors of blooming flowers and the soothing rustle of leaves provided a stark contrast to the chaos that had unfolded indoors.I sat on the stone bench, my mind racing with questions and uncertainty; the peace of the garden started to settle my racing thoughts. But that tranquility was short-lived. The sound of footsteps approaching sent a shiver down my spine. I turned to see Matthew and Fredo, Jace's friends, heading towards me. Their faces were contorted with anger, and their presence sent a wave of dread through me.Matthew, his voice sharp and accusing, wasted no time in getting to the point. "Bella," he spat out my name like it was a curse, "you need to go tell the truth to Alpha Mark about the vase. Jace's reputation is on the line because of you."Fredo chimed in, his tone equally menacing. "Yeah, Bella, you're
Jace povMatthew's voice cut through the tension as soon as I entered the mansion. He confronted me, his expression a mix of confusion and concern. "Jace, what the hell was that? What's is going on in your head? First, you take the blame for Bella's clumsiness,and now you punch Fredo in the face because of her.Are you losing it?"I knew I had to explain myself, or my friends would never understand. I took a deep breath and met Matthew's gaze squarely. "Chill out Matt. It's all part of a plan It's an act, to make Bella believe in me, how else am I supposed to get her to trust me after all the torment I've put her through hun. Tell me? ."Matthew's eyes widened in disbelief. "What? Tell me you're joking jace?"I grinned, my voice low and determined. "Listen, Matt, Bella's not the type of girl to fall for words. She's tough, I know her like the palm of my hand, and she won't be won over that easily. So, I have to show her through my actions that I'm a changed man, and not the bastard she
Bella's povMy room was filled with laughter and chatter as my friends and I sat around, sharing stories and enjoying each other's company. It was a rare moment of relaxation amidst the chaos that had become my life lately.As we chatted, the doorbell rang, interrupting our conversation. I frowned, already done with my daily chores and routine, wondering who could be visiting at this hour. One of my omega friends, Sarah, jumped up from the bed. "I'll get it!" she announced, hurrying to the door.Moments later, she returned with a small, beautifully wrapped package in her hands. The scent of roses and chocolate wafted through the room as she handed it to me. "Bella, this is for you," she said with a sly grin, her eyes twinkling with mischief.I looked at the package in surprise, my heart quickening with curiosity. Who could be sending me gifts? I carefully unwrapped it, revealing a box of the most exquisite chocolates and a single red rose. Nestled amidst them was a folded piece of par
Jace pov"Thank you Bella I promise you won't regret this" With that said, I signaled the waiter over to take Bella's order, and he approached our table with a practiced smile. Bella glanced at the menu, then back at me, she seemed a bit overwhelmed by the extensive list of dishes."May I take your order,MA ?" the waiter asked politely.I gave him a nod and he walked towards me I turned to Bella. "Don't worry, Bella, allow me take care of this ." I couldn't help but notice the uncertainty in her eyes, and I wanted to put her at ease.I began to order, choosing some of the restaurant's signature dishes. "We'll start with the lobster bisque for appetizers, followed by the filet mignon for the main course. And for dessert, how about the chocolate fondue?" I glanced at Bella to make sure she was okay with my choices.Bella nodded, her smile growing. "That sounds perfect, thank you, Jace."The waiter jotted down our order and left with a courteous nod. I couldn't help but feel a sense of

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
