BELLA

Satisfaction. The word didn't cut it. What I felt after that confrontation with Layla surpassed contentment. I didn't know I needed to unleash and air out my mind until I did, and now I feel lighter. Happier even. I chuckled to myself as the image of her face scrunched up in a mix of shock and annoyance resurfaced in my mind.

She was unnecessarily mean and needed to be taught a proper lesson. I was more than happy to do the honors.

As I stepped into the locker room, the familiar scent of antiseptic and fresh laundry enveloped me, instantly calming my mind. I slipped out of my clothes and into a crisp, white scrub, the soft fabric a comforting hug against my skin. I couldn't help but smile as I thought about my patient for the day - Cora.

My foster mother's warm, gentle face floated into my mind, and a wave of excitement washed over me. It had been a while since I'd seen her, and I couldn't wait to see her, check up on her progress, and how well she's been doing since we brought

    BELLAI never expected Kai to take my offhand suggestion so seriously. It had been a casual, almost playful remark—more an escape from the pressure surrounding us than a legitimate proposal. A chance at happiness my mum had called it but could I even find it?Marriages or fates that I had seen throughout my life didn't end well. Didn't turn out the way people had spun it to be. It wasn't the moon goddess' plan to see us suffer. I was sure she wanted us to be happy or maybe she knew about it and this was all some twisted game but how would I know?Grey and Cora's lives were intertwined, destined to be together but look at what they became. Marriage. The words tasted foreign in my mouth but looking at Kai it didn't make my insides squirm for all the wrong reasons.So, here we were, discussing the terms of a contract marriage as if it were the most natural thing in the world.Kai's eagerness caught me off guard, but as I considered it, I realized it made a strange kind of sense. He had a

    XAVIERThe mere sight of Layla was enough to turn even the brightest day to a dismal one. Irritation coursed through me as I walked through the corridors to my office where she was waiting for me.I rolled my eyes, clicking my tongue in annoyance as I reached for the key card in my pocket to unlock the door. I pushed the door open, walking in first and closing it in her face, not bothering to let her in.Regardless, Layla pushed the door open, the force causing it to hit the wall as I carefully dropped my things on my desk, removing my phone from my pocket first.I glanced at her as she simply stood there, her arms folded across her chest with a stupid look on her face. She looked every bit like the spoiled, overly entitled bitch she was.I sighed.Sometimes, I wished I could hit women.“Couldn't you at least open the door for me?” Layla snarled, her lips curled into a shape that just made her seem more appalling than usual. “I'm your younger sister. Treat me nicely.”I scoffed. “You

    BELLAThe sound of Xavier's pen tapping against his desk was loud enough to cut through the quiet atmosphere of the hospital. It was deliberate, and most of all, pointed. He didn't even bother looking up when I stepped into his office, but the tension in his jaw told me everything I needed to know. He was still upset, and knowing Xavier, he wouldn't let it go easily.“I brought lunch,” I said, holding up a neatly packed container like a peace offering.He finally glanced at me, his expression skeptical. “What's in it?”“Grilled chicken, mashed potatoes, and steamed broccoli. Your favorite.”His pen stopped mid-tap, and he leaned back in his chair, eyeing the container like it might explode. “You think food is going to make me forget about this ridiculous situation with Kai?”I sighed, setting the container down on his desk. “It's not bribery, Xavier. It's an olive branch. And besides, you have to eat.”“I don't have to eat your guilt-trip lunches,” he muttered, though he didn't push t

    BELLA.Don't let her ruin your mood!I internally chided myself and tried to smile when Kai leaned in and pecked me on the cheek. My face burned with heat as I put my head down and smiled shyly. I tried to pacify my racing heart and I pecked him back.“I'll be right back, I just want to get something, yeah?” I nodded as he stood and walked towards the exit door.As I gazed around the Ethiopian restaurant, I took in the vibrant atmosphere. The dim lighting, colourful traditional fabrics and eclectic decor all blended together to create a warm and inviting space. I looked at where Kai left, suddenly annoyed that he left me, then I found her gaze–Layla.My heart sank as she sauntered over, her eyes gleaming with malice. “Well, well, well, look what we have here,” she said, her voice dripping with sarcasm. “Bella! My sister.”I fought the urge to roll my eyes at her petty attempt to put me down. I sighed, taking a few steps towards her.“Layla! What a pleasant surprise to see you. Can I h

    BELLANot long after we finished eating, the waiter returned, his polished smile intact as he gestured toward the far side of the restaurant. “Mr. Kai, Miss Bella, your next activity is ready. If you'd follow me.”I glanced at Kai, raising an eyebrow in question. “Next activity?”Kai stood, extending a hand toward me. “You'll see. Come on.”His tone held a teasing edge, but I hesitated, eyeing him suspiciously before finally taking his hand. His grip was warm and steady, and though I hated to admit it, there was something weirdly reassuring about it.We followed the waiter down a short hallway and into a cozy room. It was smaller than the dining area, with soft lighting and an intimate vibe. My gaze landed on the setup: easels, canvases, and an array of paints and brushes neatly arranged on a long table. I blinked in surprise.“Painting?” I asked, turning to Kai with a mix of curiosity and amusement.He shrugged, his signature smirk tugging at the corners of his lips. “Thought we'd tr

    BELLAHis lips were back on mine as soon as he locked the door. He picked me up and I wrapped my legs around his waist as he walked towards the bedroom—his bedroom.He fumbled with the door knob, and when we finally got in, he kicked the door close with his leg. He walked towards the bed, dropping me on the soft surface.He took his shirt off, tossing it aside before joining me on the bed, lowering his weight over me but still keeping a little bit of space between us. I could feel the heat radiating off his body, the butterflies in my stomach a fluttering mess.Our gazes locked, our breaths already uneven. His eyes dropped to my lips and he claimed them again.This time, the kiss was passionate, hungry, fiery. I responded immediately, kissing him back with the same fervour. My hands went up to circle his neck, while his found my waist, his thumb brushing lightly on my skin, causing goosebumps to sprout on my arms.He pulled away and began planting kisses on my right ear and trailing t

    BELLAAs I raised a forkful of food to my mouth, I caught Xavier watching me with a weird look. I let out a chortle. “What?”He shrugged casually and continued eating. Something was definitely on his mind. “Tell me.” I urged, but he didn't budge.Frustrated, I reached forward, pulling the fork out of his grip. “Hey!” He retorted.Just then, a curly headed Latina walked past our table, staring at me with disdain. Did I know her? In my distraction, Xavier took his fork back, a smile threatening to split his face in half.“Who's that?” I asked, nudging my head in the direction of the curly haired woman. Xavier turned in her direction and his smile instantly disappeared.“Oh,” his voice dropped, slightly above a whisper. “Nobody important.” He replied, turning away from her.“Trouble in paradise?” I asked, wiggling my brows playfully.“Uhm, no?” He dragged the no, making it sound like a question. “Why would you even think that?”“Because she's been ogling you? And also staring at me like

    BELLAI stared at her for what felt like hours before a laugh tore through my lips. Elaine had to be really stupid, standing here, threatening me? Yeah, really stupid.“And this isn't a warning, it's a threat. Today's embarrassment is just the tip of the iceberg to what I'm capable of.“What more truck do you have up your sleeves?” I feigned intriguement, watching her with false enthusiasm. Her face now was scrunched up with her breaths coming out loud and mayme angry, but I loved that I was getting under her skin.“What do you think you are?” Elaine sounded like a mean high school girl and boy, was it hilarious. “Trying to take Mabel's place in Kai's life?”She knew Kai's ex mate?She scoffed, staring at me in the eye as she said the next words that registered in my soul like a carving on stone. “You could never measure up to her even if you tried. All you are is a pathetic loser, pining for someone else left overs.”“Elaine, that's enough.” Kai spoke as he approached us.“You don't

    BELLAI walked back into the pack house, my mind still reeling from the conversation I'd just had with Ralph. We'd been discussing everything that had been happening lately - the attacks, the strange occurrences, my son Ollie's kidnapping... Ralph had tried to reassure me that we'd get through it, that we'd emerge victorious in the end. But I couldn't shake the feeling of unease that had been growing inside me.Just as I was starting to process my emotions, my phone rang, shrill in the silence. I glanced at the screen and my heart skipped a beat. It was a video call from Kai."I'm sorry, Ralph," I said, already moving away. "I need to take this."Ralph nodded, his expression understanding. "Go ahead, Bella. We'll talk later."I nodded and answered the call, my heart racing with anticipation. Kai's face appeared on the screen, his eyes locked on mine with an intensity that made my breath catch.Was something wrong?I couldn't shake off

    KAII leaned against the stone wall, my arms crossed as I listened to Alpha Luther's concerns about the recent attacks. "We need to increase our patrols and gather more intel on the enemy's movements," Luther said, his voice firm.Lennon nodded in agreement. "I've been thinking the same thing, Alpha. We can't keep reacting to these attacks. We need to take the initiative.""I agree," I said, pushing off the wall. "But we also need to consider the possibility that these attacks are just a diversion. Harper’s smart; she wouldn't launch a full-scale attack without a strategy."Alpha Luther's eyes narrowed. "What are you suggesting, Kai?""I'm saying we need to look deeper," I replied. "What's Harper’s endgame? What's she trying to achieve with these attacks?"Lennon frowned. "You think she's after something specific?""I do," I said. "And I think we need to figure out what that is if we're going to stop her."Alpha Luther rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "I see what you're getting at, Kai.

  • Make Way, The Real Alpha Princess Returns!   Chapter 89 I WILL HELP

    BELLAThe forest stood before me like a black maw, its dense trees weaving a near-impenetrable canopy that blocked out the moonlight. The Ruins Forest. Even saying the name aloud was enough to send shivers down the spine of most wolves.Abandoned for a century, it had become forbidden ground-a cursed reminder of the blood spilled during the pack wars.I stared into its depths, the diary clutched tightly in my hands. Ollie's notes had been clear: this was the first location to investigate. Still, a voice in the back of my mind whispered, Evelynn wouldn't put her base in such an obvious place.My wolf stirred uneasily. You don't have to do this alone.I shook my head, setting the diary into my pack. I'll be fine. Shifting into my wolf form, I padded forward, ears perked and senses on high alert.The stench hit me immediately--a vile mix of decay and something sour, chemical almost. I paused, my hackles rising as the air grew heavy around me.Every step deeper into the forest felt like e

    BELLAThe room was filled with the heavy scent of oak, leather, and tension. The round table in the center was surrounded by the most powerful Alphas in the region, each exuding their own brand of authority. Their voices rose and fell in heated arguments, the weight of their distrust hanging in the air like a thundercloud.Kai and I stood at the head of the table, flanked by Ralph, whose usually calm demeanor had slipped into something more rigid. I could feel Kai’s energy beside me, coiled and ready to strike, and I knew it wouldn’t take much to set him off.“This is ridiculous!” snapped Alpha Conrad, a burly man with graying hair and a perpetual sneer. “You expect us to believe this nonsense about witches and ancient werewolves? Sounds like a convenient excuse to expand your influence, Kai.”“Agreed,” chimed in Alpha Leona, her voice sharp enough to cut. She leaned back in her chair, her arms crossed, her dark eyes fixed on us with open suspicion. “Why should we risk our warriors on

    KAIThe tires hummed against the asphalt, their low rumble filling the cabin of the black SUV as we sped down the highway. The road stretched ahead in a seemingly endless ribbon, flanked by dense pine forests on either side. The sunlight filtered through the trees, casting fleeting patterns of light and shadow on the windshield.Lennon was in the passenger seat, fiddling with the GPS like it was a puzzle he couldn’t quite solve. His dark, chestnut hair was a little disheveled from the rush to leave, and his expression hovered between amused and annoyed as he jabbed at the touchscreen.“Tell me again why you’re driving and not letting me?” he asked, finally giving up on the GPS.“Because I have control issues,” I said flatly, glancing at him. “And because the last time you drove according to your sister, you nearly ran the car into a ditch trying to avoid a raccoon.”“That raccoon had a death wish,” Lennon shot back, smirking. “I saved its furry little life.”“And nearly ended ours in

    BELLAThe house was unnervingly quiet when Kai and I stepped inside. I couldn’t shake the eerie sense that something vital had been ripped away. The air, usually alive with Ollie’s laughter or the faint strains of his humming, felt cold and stagnant. My heart tightened as I glanced at the small table near the door where he always left his shoes in a messy heap. Empty.Kai’s hand brushed mine as he closed the door behind us, the faint click of the lock echoing through the silence. “The beta said he disappeared during our meeting with Ralph and Amelia,” he murmured, his voice strained, low. I could hear the tight control in his tone, but his fists clenched by his sides told me how much he was holding back. He blamed himself just like I did.After everything Ollie had been through, after knowing he could have everything it was all just snatched away from him like it didn't matter. Like he didn't matter and I…. I just couldn't bear it. I couldn't lose him…. This. Us. What we could have be

    BELLAThe morning air was crisp, the kind of cold that bit at your skin and seeped into your bones. The sky was painted in muted grays, heavy clouds hinting at a storm that hadn’t yet arrived. Kai and I walked side by side through the quiet packhouse courtyard, the frost-covered ground crunching softly under our boots.The calmness and trust between us was unspoken but palpable. After last night’s conversation with Ralph and my father and Kai’s help, I managed to slept. My thoughts that had been consumed by Harper, the ancient bloodline, and the vague, looming threat of her growing powe washed away because of him.But now, everything started becoming louder in my head.Kai’s hand brushed against mine, a subtle grounding gesture that reminded me he was there. I gave him a small, grateful glance before refocusing on the task ahead.Ralph and his mate, Luna Amelia, were waiting for us in the main hall. The pack’s alpha an

    BELLAThe room felt smaller than usual, the air thick as if the walls themselves were closing in. I sat on the edge of the bed, legs crossed, fingers twisting the hem of my sweater until the fabric was stretched and wrinkled. My chest felt heavy, like a weight was pressing down, making it hard to breathe.Kai stood near the door, leaning against the frame with his arms crossed over his chest. His sharp gaze pinned me in place, silently urging me to speak, but he didn’t push. He never did. That made it harder somehow.“It’s not just the bond,” I murmured, barely able to force the words past the lump in my throat. My voice sounded brittle, as if it might shatter under the strain. “It’s me—what I am.”Kai’s posture softened, his shoulders relaxing as he straightened and took a step toward me. He didn’t rush, but I could feel the concern rolling off him like waves. When he finally sat down beside me,

    LAYLA"What are you doing here?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. Fear crept up my spine as Harper's eyes locked onto mine."I heard your wish, Layla," Harper said, their voice low and mysterious. "I heard you wanted to collaborate with the witches, just like Mabel did. And I'm here to grant your wish."My fear began to dissipate, replaced by a spark of hope. Revenge, I thought, my heart racing with anticipation. I wanted revenge against Max, against the pack that had rejected me."Do you really want revenge, Layla?" Harper asked, her eyes glinting in the dim light.I nodded, my voice firm. "Yes, I want revenge."Harper's face broke into a wide smile. She walked over to the bed, placing a hand on my shoulder. A strange sensation washed over me, like I was being sucked into something.And then, everything went dark.When I opened my eyes again, I found myself in a dimly lit room.
