BELLA

I 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.

  • Make Way, The Real Alpha Princess Returns!   Chapter 39 FLOOD OF EMOTIONS

    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

  • Make Way, The Real Alpha Princess Returns!   Chapter 42 A DAUGHTERS PAIN

    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

    BELLAI let Kai's arms envelop me, his warmth and strength a comforting shield against the turmoil that had erupted in the mansion. I sobbed uncontrollably, my body shaking with each ragged breath. As I cried, I watched through tear-blurred eyes as my mother was escorted out of the room by my brothers, Xavier, Hunter, Ralph, and Lennon. Layla, who had been clutching her stomach in agony just moments before, now walked alongside them, her face pale but her eyes gleaming with a triumphant light that made my blood boil.I felt a surge of anger and resentment towards Layla, who seemed to be manipulating everyone around her, including my mother. But as I looked up at Kai, I saw the concern etched on his face, and my anger gave way to a deep sadness. I felt lost and alone, unsure of what the future held or how to navigate the treacherous waters of my family's dynamics.Kai's arms tightened around me, holding me close as I continued to sob. I felt a sense of safety and security in his embrac

    KAII gently guided Bella through the hospital doors, my arm wrapped around her waist to support her. She insisted she was fine, but I knew better. The way she winced with every step, the way her eyes seemed to cloud over with pain - she was far from fine."Come on, Bella, just a little farther," I coaxed, trying to keep her moving."I'm fine, Kai," she said, her voice tight with annoyance. "You don't have to hold me.""I'm not letting you go," I replied, my arm tightening around her waist. "You're not fine, Bella. You're hurt."She shot me a look, but I just raised an eyebrow. "Don't even try to deny it," I said. "I can see it in your eyes."Bella sighed, but she didn't argue anymore. Instead, she just leaned into me, letting me support her weight.As we waited for the nurses to come and take her for her tests, I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. What if I hadn't gone after her? What if I hadn't found her in time?The thought sent a chill down my spine, and I found myself tap

    Immediately Kai left the room, my phone chimed. I glanced at the screen to see that it was a message from Elaine.“Why in the world wouldn’t she let me just be?” I groaned out loud, clicking on the notification so I could read her mail.It read:Dear Bella,I hope this email finds you well. Or, at the very least, finds you in a state of mind awareness. I'm not sure how much of what's going on you're actually picking up on, but I'll spell it out for you just in case.Kai is not who you think he is. He's not the brooding, tortured soul you've fallen for. He's a master manipulator, and he's been playing you from the start.You think you know what it's like to be with Kai? You have no idea. Mabel, his precious mate, went to great lengths to get away from him. She gave up her wolf, her family, her entire life just to escape him. And that's not even the worst of it. She had to erase her entire identity and start from scratch just to be free of him.That's how much of an evil person Kai is,

    BELLAThe sun hung low on the horizon as Ralph told me what had happened. After the phone call, I rushed over to where Ralph was and my brother wasted no time to tell me what happened.“Our father is back like I told you over the phone,” he said without preamble, his voice sharp and edged with urgency. “And he’s already taking action.”My whole countenance stilled. “What do you mean?”Ralph ran a hand through his hair, looking both annoyed and impressed. “He didn’t even wait a full hour after returning to Ashwood Pack. He walked straight into the pack house—contract in hand—and confronted Layla in front of everyone.”My stomach dropped, my pulse quickening. “What contract?”“The one her father signed years ago—the deal that kept her here all this time. He called for her expulsion, Bella. There wasn’t even a discussion.”I froze,

  • Make Way, The Real Alpha Princess Returns!   Chapter 66 SHATTERED DREAMS

    BELLAThe bedroom was cloaked in shadows, the faint glow of moonlight streaming through the curtains doing little to warm the chill that settled in my chest. I sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed, staring blankly at the wall, the events of the day replaying in my mind like a cruel, never-ending loop.The wedding. My wedding. It had been perfect, a scene pulled straight from my dreams. The warmth of Kai’s hand was in mine as I walked toward him at the altar. The way his storm-gray eyes softened as they met mine as if I were the only person who had ever mattered. The vows we had written, brimming with promises of love and loyalty, were ready to be spoken into existence.“I do.” He had said. The words perfectly fell from his lips. It was like a weight was lifted off his chest as he said them. I loved it. I wanted to wake up every morning hearing it. The fact that he chose me. Loved Me. Wanted me. Everything was perfect. Everything. He was goin

    KAIThe room felt smaller, the air heavier, as I stared at Mabel. Her name alone was a wound I thought had long scarred over, but seeing her now, alive and standing before me, reopened it. The chaos of the interrupted wedding still churned outside the room, but here, within these walls, it was as if time had frozen.I couldn't believe she was here. Here and staring at me with those fucking eyes. Eyes that destroyed me. Broke me to the point where I almost lost another chance at happiness, and love. She was a jinx, a curse.She stood straight-backed, her hands trembling despite her composed expression. Her presence alone was enough to make my blood roar, but it was the boy standing shyly beside her—dark-haired, wide-eyed, and painfully familiar—that shook me to my core.“I’m sorry,” Mabel began, her voice trembling but resolute. “I know this is not how you wanted your day to go, but I didn’t have a choice. I had to

    BELLAThe sound of Mabel’s voice sliced through the air like a dagger, halting the ceremony in its tracks. All the warmth, the joy, the elation of the moment evaporated, leaving an icy tension behind.“I object!” she had said, her voice ringing with authority and venom.At first, I couldn’t even process it. My head turned instinctively, searching for her face in the crowd. And there she was, standing in the grand doorway of the hall, her figure backlit by the fading afternoon sun. The train of her crimson gown swept the floor like a river of blood, but it wasn’t her dramatic entrance that held me captive. It was the boy standing at her side.He was small, maybe five or six years old, his dark curls wild and unkempt. But it was his eyes that made my breath catch in my throat—storm-gray eyes, the exact shade as Kai.I didn't get what was happening. What was she doing her? My throat constricted.Whispers rippled through the crowd like a wave. My chest constricted, a crushing weight press

  • Make Way, The Real Alpha Princess Returns!   Chapter 63 WEDDING DISRUPTED

    BELLAThe soft glow of moonlight spilled through the gossamer curtains as Kai and I stumbled into his bedroom, our laughter filling the quiet night. Kai’s strong arms encircled me, pulling me close as our lips met in a kiss that was both gentle and fervent. The taste of him was familiar yet intoxicating like the finest wine savored anew. My fingers found the line of his jaw, tracing it before sliding into his dark, unruly hair, pulling him even closer.Our kisses deepened, growing more urgent as they crossed the threshold into the bedroom. My back met the cool softness of the bed, and I felt Kai’s weight as he lowered himself beside me, his hands gliding along the curve of my waist. Each touch felt like a vow, a promise of his devotion, and in his arms, I felt the kind of love poets wrote about but rarely captured in words.The room was filled with the murmurs of our love, our intimacy a quiet storm that swirled around us, wrapping us in warmth. Later, when the passion ebbed, we lay e

    BELLARuby, the owner of the boutique, held me at arm's length, examining me with a critical eye. "I'm so glad you're here, Bella," she said. "I've been dying to get started on your wedding dress. You're going to be the perfect muse for my new collection."I smiled, feeling a sense of excitement. Ruby and I had met online through social media, and we had quickly become close friends. She was a talented designer, and I had fallen in love with her designs. I had already decided to wear one of her special creations for my wedding."I'm so glad to be here, Ruby," I said. "But actually, I just came to get Kai's measurements for his suit. I've already decided on my dress."Ruby's face lit up with excitement. "Oh, wonderful! I'll get my best tailor to take Kai's measurements. And of course, we'll make sure his suit is perfect for the big day."As Ruby called over her tailor, I couldn't help but notice the blonde woman who had been rude to me earlier. She was watching us with a mixture of sho

    BELLAAs I settled into the familiar comfort of our home, surrounded by my brothers, I finally felt a sense of ease wash over me. The tension of the past few days began to unravel, and my mind wandered back to the confrontation with Max.His question still lingered in my mind: "Why did you reject me?" I closed my eyes, and suddenly I was back in that moment.I remembered the way Max's eyes had locked onto mine, the way his voice had dripped with entitlement. And then, in an instant, Kai’s fist had connected with Max's face.The sound of the punch still echoed in my mind – a sharp crack that had made me flinch. I recalled the way Kai’s eyes had blazed with anger, the way he'd stood tall, his chest heaving with rage."It's none of your business," Kai had snarled, his voice low and menacing. "You've done enough for her already."The memory of Kai's words, his actions brought a surge of gratitude to my chest. He'd always been m

    Max.I sat on the edge of my bed, staring blankly at the wall as the memories flooded my mind. Bella. My Bella. The one who got away.Why didn't I take her as my mate when I had the chance? Why did I let Layla deceive me?I thought back to the day I met Bella. Her sparkling eyes, her bright smile, her infectious laugh. I was drawn to her like a magnet. But I was young, foolish, and blinded by my own ego.Layla, with her cunning words and seductive charm, had manipulated me into believing Bella wasn't the rightful heir to our family's legacy. She convinced me that Bella was inferior, that she didn't deserve to be part of my family.But the truth was far from it. Bella was the one the quadruplets loved and cherished more. They saw something in her that I didn't - her kindness, her compassion, her strength.I remembered the way the quadruplets would gather around Bella, listening to her stories, playing with her hair. They adored her, and she l

    Kai’s room was dimly lit, the heavy curtains drawn against the afternoon sun. I paced the floor as I recounted my confrontation with Layla to him, the adrenaline from the exchange still coursing through me.My hands clenched and unclenched at my sides as I replayed every word, every insult she had thrown at me, and her subtle slip about the speed boat.She was behind it or had something to do with it, I was sure.Kai listened intently, his sharp amber eyes following my movements. His presence was steady and grounding, even as the storm inside me raged. When I finally finished, he leaned back in his chair, his brow furrowed in thought.“She knew too much,” I said, my voice tight. “There’s no other explanation. Layla was involved. But how? How could she have tampered with the speed boat?” Evil people could always achieve anything, especially someone like Layla.Kai steepled his fingers, his expression grave. “She couldn’t have done it alone.

    BELLAMy body was healed—no more bruises, no more gashes—but the scars on my pride and the questions swirling in my mind remained. The yacht sabotage wasn’t an accident. Someone had tried to kill me, and every instinct screamed one name: Layla.I knew she had something to do with it. She always hated me and every single time we met, she managed to prove that. The conviction drummed in my heart. She had to be the one. But if she was, how could she manage it on her own?She was the only one that had something to gain the most from my death so her motives weren't a problem. It was how.Her smugness, her hostility, her constant presence near Luna Olive—it all pointed to her involvement. Today, I would get the answers I needed, no matter what.The hotel where my mother was staying stood like a gleaming fortress, its pristine marble walls and gold accents reflecting the morning light.
