BELLA

I walked into Cora's hospital room, trying to reassure myself as much as her. She was lying in bed, looking pale and anxious, but she smiled weakly when she saw me.

"Hey, kiddo," she said, her voice trembling slightly. "I'm so glad you're here."

I took her hand in mine, trying to infuse her with some of my own confidence. "Don't worry, Cora," I said. "The surgery is going to go great. The moon goddess will be watching over us, guiding the surgeons' hands."

Cora smiled again, looking a little more at ease. "I trust you, Bella," she said. "I know you'll take care of me."

Just then, the door swung open and Xavier walked in, a reassuring smile on his face. "Hey, Cora," he said. "I couldn't help but overhear Bella's pep talk. I have to agree, the surgery is going to go smoothly. We've got the best team on it, and we're all confident of a positive outcome."

Cora looked at us both, her eyes shining with gratitude. "Thank you, both of you," she said. "I trust that I'm in safe hands. You

    BELLAI ran my hand over my face, feeling a new wave of frustration. I felt uneasy even after I had chided myself to stop thinking about Kai.“May I have a seat?” Cash asked, I had almost totally forgotten that he was in the room.Still not looking up, I said. “Oh, I'm sorry. Please have a seat.” As he shuffled as he sat, I looked up.Cash had not changed a teensy weensy bit since that last time I saw him.I squinted my face in recognition as he smiled – clearly he knew– I smiled back as I asked.“Oh my God, Cash? How are you? It's been so long, what? Like a million years?” I laughed.“Yes, I've been good. And yes, it's been so long.” He said the last part with a hint of sarcasm in his tone. It's only been months since I graduated. “How've you been?” He asked me as he smiled, his eyes twinkling with different emotions.“I've been good, I'm just curious as to why you've decided to come to New York. And most especially as the guise of an intern.” I told him.He laughed, deep and throaty

    KAII threw this party for her sake. To somehow get her to be in the same room as me even if she wouldn't talk to me. But, she down rightly refused my invitation, calling it a stupid party.Yes, I was that desperate. That desperate that I would try any trick, do anything to get her to talk to me at least.I wanted to apologize.That's all you have been doing since she came into your life. Literally. My wolf mocked me. It wasn't wrong. How I have managed to hurt her countlessly, I had no idea.It always just happened before I realized.It's because you never really made her a priority. My wolf wasn't wrong.I even prioritized Elaine over her the other day. I hurt her feelings so badly. Fuck.I took another gulp, emptying the glass before sliding it to the bartender, silently asking for a refill. He gave me a skeptical look, but he said nothing, instead pouring another drink for me.As I took another gulp, the image of that man walking into her office flooded my mind.Cash. He was the n

    BELLA“What the hell are you doing here? And drunk?” I was appalled.He took a step towards me with his hand reaching out, but like he contemplated it, he dropped his hand and took a step back. “Are you even real? Or are you just a figment of my imagination?”He asked, and I felt my chest dip.He was drunk to stupor, barely able to stand on his own two feet.“What are you doing here, Kai?” I repeated. He placed his right hand on the door frame to steady himself, his droopy eyes peering into mine. “I threw a party to celebrate your success, you refused my invitation.”“I’m busy here at the hospital, Kai. I don’t have time to party.” I said, holding his gaze.“It’s past your working hours.” He was right. I wanted to stay by Cora’s side tonight, but I really can’t leave Kai to go home by himself in this state.“Did you drive?” I asked, bobbing my head to the side.He shook his head no. “I think I came with the driver.”“You think?” I almost laughed out loud at the absurdity.

    BELLAI stirred in my sleep and turned. The air smelled different from the lavender scent I normally woke up to. Where was I? Opening my eyes slowly, I immediately squinted my eyes, the light from the windows temporarily invading my vision.I opened my eyes slowly and turned my head, flashes from yesterday night came flooding back. I willed myself to move and face Kai. His upper body lay naked against me. I couldn't resist, I held my hand out and rubbed his chest, tracing the lines on his chest – the firm chest, abs.Kai moved and I stopped. “Why'd you stop? Continue, I like it.” He said, his voice husky from sleep. His breath fanned my face– the faint smell of mint and alcohol.He took my hand and placed it back on his chest, guiding me to touch him, moving his hand lower until I touched his defined V-line.I abruptly stood up from the bed, as if it disgusted me. I didn’t know what I was thinking of getting myself involved with Kai. I didn't need my emotions revolving all over again.

    BELLAI stood in the car park, my eyes fixed on Cora as I hugged her tightly. "I'm going to miss you so much," I whispered, my voice shaking with emotion.Cora’s arms wrapped around me, holding me close. "I'll miss you too, Bella. But you need to take care of yourself, okay? And don’t forget what I told you."I nodded, feeling a lump form in my throat. Cora was returning back to Moonlight pack, and it hurt me to see her leave after everything she’s had to endure from Grey. But she needed to go to finalize the rejection.“Take care of yourself too,” I replied as we pulled away from each other, tears blurring my vision. I looked up at Xavier and Lennon. They were taking Cora back to make sure she got there safely. I couldn’t be more grateful. I smiled, muttering a small thank you. Xavier smiled back, and Lennon nodded.Xavier took a few steps towards me, and I saw a flicker of concern in his eyes. "What's wrong?" I

    BELLAI stood frozen in the doorway, watching the scene unfold before me with a mix of shock and fascination, my attention fixed on the tense exchange between Luna and Alexander.Luna's face was a mask of outrage, her eyes blazing with anger as she confronted Alexander. Her slender figure seemed to vibrate with indignation, her hands clenched into fists at her sides. "How could you do this to her, Alexander?" she demanded, her voice low and menacing, each word dripping with venom. "You claim to love her, but you have no qualms about putting your hands on her? And what about your unborn child? Do you even care about its well-being?"Alexander took a step forward, his face reddening as he tried to defend himself. His eyes darted nervously around the room, as if searching for an escape or a witness to corroborate his side of the story. But before he could even utter a word, Luna's hand shot out, slapping him across the face with a resounding crack.The sound

    BELLAThe room fell silent, with all eyes fixed on Kai and me. I felt my heart racing, my mind reeling with shock and surprise. Propose? Was Kai being serious right now?I turned to look at my mother. Her forehead was slightly creased, a mix of confusion and surprise etched across her features.The silence was the kind that wasn’t just empty but thick, like something invisible had coiled itself around the air and squeezed. My mother stared at Kai with eyes sharp enough to cut glass. The proposal he had laid bare moments earlier seemed to echo against the ornate walls, rebounding louder each time it hit my ears.My breath thickened as no one spoke. I didn't even know what to say. The mansion that was supposedly big became smaller than the walls of a microscopic organism.If Alexander demanded attention, Kai was the attention. The way he spoke, so confident, so suave that even Luna who was known to be a force to be reckoned with could only stare at her, future son-in-law?I stood frozen

    BELLAThe night before my wedding, my brothers kidnapped me.Not literally—though with them, anything was possible—but they barged into my room, dragged me out of my wedding preparations, and declared that it was a “sibling bonding emergency.”I barely had time to argue before Xavier threw me over his shoulder like a sack of flour, Ryan tossed a blanket over my head for “extra security,” and Hunter and Lennon led the charge down the hall, laughing like a bunch of lunatics.By the time they finally set me down, I was dizzy, breathless, and slightly concerned for my safety.“What the hell was that?” I gasped, pushing my hair out of my face as I looked around.They had brought me to one of the old gathering halls, now transformed into something unrecognizably cozy. The fire crackled in the grand hearth, a feast of steak, bread, and wine set out on a long wooden table.Lennon grinned, throwing an arm around my shoulder. “Welcome to the Official Quadruplet and Bella Pre-Wedding Party.”Rya

The battle was over, but its echoes remained in the shattered stones, in the bruises on our skin, in the exhaustion that pressed into our bones.I stood at the heart of it all, surrounded by warriors who had once been divided—now united. Alive.And yet, my gaze was fixed on only one thing.Ollie.Kai knelt beside him, his face tight with worry as he brushed the damp curls from the boy’s forehead. Ollie’s chest rose and fell in uneven breaths, his small fingers twitching slightly against the cold stone beneath him.“Come back to us, baby,” I whispered, sinking to my knees. My hands hovered over him, unsure if I was strong enough to touch him without breaking.Kai’s jaw clenched. “He’s breathing.” His voice was steady, but I could hear the fear beneath it. The same fear that had been clawing at my ribs since we found Ollie in that cursed chamber beneath the ruins.I reached out, my fingers grazing Ollie’s hand. His skin was too cold.Too

    BELLAThe Ruins Forest was alive with whispers. Not voices, not creatures—just the wind curling through the gnarled trees, carrying an eerie hum that never faded. The deeper we ventured, the thicker the air became, pressing against my skin like unseen hands. Every step forward felt like wading through something old and rotten, as if the forest itself resisted our presence.Kai moved beside me, silent and sharp-eyed, scanning the shadows ahead. Hunter led the way, his posture rigid, his fingers twitching as though his body anticipated a fight before one had even begun.The darkness here was unnatural. It clung to the trees, seeped into the soil. The deeper we went, the heavier the feeling became, an oppressive weight that coiled around my ribs.“We’re close,” I murmured, voice low. I didn’t know how I knew. I just did.Kaibglanced at me. “You feel it too.”I nodded. It was a sickening pull, something deep beneath the ruins calling to me. Not a voice. Just a presence.Hunter inhaled dee

    BELLAThe Ruins Forest was eerily silent, the dense canopy above swallowing the moonlight, casting shifting shadows across the decaying remnants of a civilization long lost. The air was thick with damp earth, the scent of moss and rotting wood mingling with something sharper—something unnatural.My breath came in slow, controlled inhales, but my pulse pounded in my ears. The ruins around us felt ancient, almost sentient, as if they had witnessed countless tragedies before this moment.And now, they would witness Layla’s end.She stood a few paces ahead, her figure outlined against the pale moonlight breaking through the trees. Dark energy crackled around her fingers, pulsing with anger, desperation. Blood streaked her face, her once-pristine clothing torn and muddied, but her eyes—her silver, stormy eyes—were still alight with the same bitterness that had festered in her heart for years.“You always take what isn’t yours,” she hissed, her voice raw with fury. “First my place, then my

    BELLA.“You think you can save them?” he snarled, stepping forward. His sword gleamed in the dim light. “You couldn’t even save your own father.”A knife twisted in my chest.I refused to believe it.This wasn’t real.Kai was not my enemy.The fog was lying.I stood my ground, forcing my breath steady. “You’re not real.”A flicker of hesitation crossed his face.Good.“You’re just another trick,” I continued, voice firm. “Another lie.”The mist shuddered.The illusion of Kai faltered—his form wavered, then shattered like glass.Gone.But the fog remained.A new voice slithered through the mist.“You’ll never be enough for her.”Kai.His real voice.But laced with something wrong.I turned sharply, scanning the haze. “Kai!”A figure moved through the mist. Nathaniel, rigid, fists clenched.He didn’t turn.Didn’t answer.“She’ll leave you, just like the rest.” The voice came from the fog, its edges curling like smoke.Kai’s shoulders stiffened.I saw the tension in his jaw, the way his

  • Make Way, The Real Alpha Princess Returns!   Chapter 96 YOU THINK YOU CAN SAVE THEM?

    BELLAThe Ruins Forest loomed before us, its canopy thick with ancient trees that swallowed the light whole. A hush settled over the land, the kind that preceded a storm. The air was damp with the scent of moss and decay, and every step felt like an intrusion into something forgotten. Kai walked beside me, silent but alert, his hand never straying far from his blade.We had barely passed the threshold when a rustling in the underbrush made me spin, dagger in hand. A shadow emerged from behind a gnarled oak, and I was ready to strike—until I saw him.Hunter.Dressed in a loose tunic, a satchel slung across his shoulder, he grinned at me like this was any other day. “Fancy seeing you two here.”I exhaled sharply, lowering my weapon. “Hunter, what the hell are you doing here?”He held up a weathered sketchbook. “Would you believe me if I said I came to draw the ruins? The landscapes here are—”“—dangerous,” I finished, stepping toward him. “This place isn’t some scenic retreat. Harper an

    BELLAThe war room was dimly lit, the scent of parchment and ink thick in the air. Maps lay scattered across the table, marked with hastily drawn lines and notations—plans that had now shifted.The battle was over. The border was safe.But the war wasn’t.I ran my fingers along the edges of the old, worn notebook in front of me, my mind spinning through the words scribbled inside. Oli had left behind a trail—one that led straight to the heart of our enemy.Kai stood beside me, arms crossed, golden eyes scanning the notes as if he could pull more meaning from them just by glaring hard enough. Lennon, on the other hand, sat slouched in his chair, legs stretched out, fingers drumming absently against the table.The tension in the room was thick, pressing in on me from all sides.I exhaled. Time to begin.“We have confirmation,” I said, voice steady. “Harper’s plan failed. The border remain

    BELLAThe sky churned with storm clouds, thick and low, casting the battlefield in an eerie half-light. The air was thick with the scent of burnt flesh, wet fur, and the metallic sting of blood. Screams and snarls tangled together in a chaotic symphony, the ground trembling beneath the weight of bodies clashing, breaking, and falling.I had seen war before. I had felt its weight in every wound I stitched, in every heartbeat I fought to save. But this—this was something else.The magical beasts came in waves, their forms flickering with unnatural energy, their movements sharper, faster—unnatural. I had no doubt now. Someone was controlling them. Someone was feeding them power.And I was going to find out who.But first, we had to survive.“Push forward!” Kai’s voice cut through the chaos like a blade, his massive form cutting through the oncoming beasts with raw, relentless force.
