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

"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
