Bella POV Fredo's menacing presence loomed over us, his gaze fixed on me with a chilling intensity. I could feel the weight of his threat pressing down on me, paralyzing me with fear. Every instinct screamed at me to run, to find a way out of this nightmare, but the reality of Fredo's gun pointed at my head kept me rooted in place, . Jace stood beside me, his eyes darting between Fredo and me, his fists clenched in frustration. Jace's bark thundered through the air, his voice laced with fury as he confronted Fredo. "Have you gone mad, Fredo? What's the matter with you? How dare you point a gun at my mate!" Fredo's response was chilling, his smile sinister as he spoke. "Let's just say your mate and I have some unfinished business to settle, my friend." I stood there, panting, my body trembling with fear and adrenaline. Jace's growl cut through the tension, his glare filled with contempt as he addressed Fredo. "First of all, don't call me your friend, you bloody scum. And secondly,
Bella povAs I took a desperate dive off the cliff, my head slammed into a rock, knocking me unconscious. Involuntarily, I shifted back to my human form, the force of the water slamming my body against the rock roughly, carrying me further downstream. I was too weak to move a muscle or attempt to swim against the powerful current. Instead, I closed my eyes and surrendered to the relentless flow.Hours later, I regained consciousness to find myself floating in the middle of a river, disoriented and weak. Gasping for breath, a sudden thought pierced through the fog in my mind—JACE! Panic surged within me like a tidal wave, my heart pounding in my chest."Jace!" I shouted into the wilderness, the sound of my own voice echoing off the surrounding cliffs. But there was no response, only the rushing of the water as it carried me farther away from the waterfall where tragedy had struck.Desperation clawed at my chest as I struggled to stay afloat, my mind racing with fear and uncertainty. Te
Bella povEchoes immediately reverberated through the room, sending cold chills down my spine. The silence that followed was thick with tension, as all eyes turned to me, awaiting my response.I swallowed hard, mustering the courage to speak up. "I-I'm sorry, Alpha Diablo," I stammered, my voice barely above a whisper. "I... I didn't mean to disrespect you. I was just... surprised."Alpha Diablo's piercing gaze remained fixed on me, and he twitched his eyebrows as if taken aback by my response. Slowly, he began to approach me, closing the gap between us with deliberate steps.As he drew nearer, a wave of panic washed over me, and I felt a cold sweat break out on my forehead. My heart pounded in my chest, and I struggled to keep my composure under his intense scrutiny."Surprised?" Alpha Diablo demanded, his voice echoing through the chamber like thunder. "Surprised about what?"I could feel the weight of his gaze bearing down on me, and I knew I had to tread carefully. With trembling
Bella pov"Please don't call my Alpha," I uttered, my voice trembling with fear and confusion.Alpha Diablo and his men turned around slowly to face me, their expressions unreadable. I swallowed hard, feeling the weight of their questioning gazes bearing down on me.Alpha Diablo sized me up with a calculating gaze, his movements deliberate as he took a few steps closer, narrowing the distance between us. His eyes locked onto mine, his voice laced with curiosity and a hint of suspicion. "You don't want me to call your Alpha?" he questioned, his tone probing for answers."Yes, please," I stammered, my voice barely above a whisper, my heart pounding in my chest.Alpha Diablo scrutinized me suspiciously, his eyes boring into mine as he questioned, "And why?"After a few moments of gathering my thoughts, I responded, my voice shaky with nerves, "For honor and respect."Laughter erupted in the room, the sound ringing in my ears as I lowered my gaze in embarrassment. Alpha Diablo's amused sm
Bella povJust as Alpha Diablo closed the gap between us, he wiped the sweat from his forehead with the silver blade, drawing a small trickle of blood, he fixed his gaze on me with an unsettling smile."Look at that, it's blood," he remarked, turning to his men, who erupted into laughter. The sight sent a chill down my spine, and I couldn't help but tremble under his intense stare.His smile vanished as he turned back to me, his expression turning cold and menacing. "Don't make me repeat myself, Omega," he thundered, his voice echoing through the room. I felt tears welling up in my eyes as I pleaded for mercy. "Please don't hurt me, sir. I didn't do anything," I begged, my voice trembling with fear.For a moment, Alpha Diablo held my gaze with a fierce intensity. Then, to my surprise, his expression softened, has he returned the knife back into the pouch and he extended his arms towards me. "Come to me," he said, his voice gentler now. I couldn't believe what I was hearing, and I had
Bella povAs Fredo's denial hung in the air, Alpha Diablo's reaction was swift and merciless. With a swift movement, he seized Fredo by the neck and pulled out the silver blade from his pouch the silver blade gleaming ominously in his grasp. Before anyone could react, the blade sliced through Fredo's neck with a sickening sound, and his head tumbled to the ground, leaving behind a lifeless body.Cold chills raced down my spine as the gruesome scene unfolded before my eyes. The room fell into a stunned silence, broken only by the sound of Alpha Diablo's heavy breathing. Even Alpha Mark, known for his stoicism, took a step back, his expression betraying a hint of shock."Ouch, poor guy had it coming," Alpha Mark remarked callously, his tone devoid of empathy. Everyone stared at him in disappointment.Beta Brian, Fredo's father, collapsed to his knees, his anguished cry piercing the air. "My son!" he wailed, his voice filled with despair and grief, but no one paid him any attention.Mean
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.
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
