•• Arabella’s POV •••Max was spookily silent for a while, and I felt a bit nervous seeing his calculating yet cold gaze toward me.It seemed he was a bit angry.But I didn't say anything wrong, did I?We weren't fated mates, so even if we made love, it would only be about sex and not feelings, much
“Are you ready to see your new pack, Luna Arra?” he asked with amusement as he saw me blush.I nodded, and we went to the car with Beta Jaxon as the driver.“Max, why do you call me ‘Arra’?” I asked him with curiosity.“Don't you like it?” he asked.“No. I mean, I’m fine with it, but you are the fir
•• Maximillian’s POV •••For some reason, I felt a bit of stabbing pain in my heart when I heard Arra say ‘I’ll never fall in love with you’ and locked the bedroom door behind me.Was the pain just an illusion?Because I couldn’t be heartbroken over a woman!I attributed it to the fact that my ego a
If he called her by any other pet name like ‘baby’ or something else, I might need to change the way I addressed her.Maybe ‘Luv’?I wouldn't let myself be someone insignificant to her because I was going to be her husband, for Goddess’ sake.And I wouldn't let her arsehole ex-mate up me by calling
•• Arabella’s POV •••He took me back to the pack’s main house and went straight to our bedroom.Once he closed the door behind us, I turned to look at him and opened my mouth first.“We should try to coexist peacefully even if we are only contracted husband and wife,” I suggested. “Try to get along
I stood up, picked the pillow from the floor, threw it onto the couch, rummaged through my bag to get my phone, and returned to bed.Scrolling through my phone, I realized most of my calls were to Shawn and Abigail.Urrggghhh, I deleted my phone record and all pictures of Shawn and Abigail and threw
•• Arabella’s POV •••“Luna, the stylists and makeup artists are here,” the Omega, who seemed to have been appointed as my personal maid, said.“Let them in,” I told her and was stunned when a couple of people entered, bringing a row of white dresses with white shoes and boxes of jewelry.“Oh, the L
One word from Dad made me shudder, and I nearly dropped my cutlery.“Explain.”I wanted to cry.Why couldn't Dad wait until the banquet ended, and we could talk about it afterward?I looked at Mom, begging her to help me through my eyes.“Just give us the general story, Ari. We need to deal with som
He nodded fervently and repeated my words like a mantra, “You are right. My woman is always right; even when you are wrong, you are right.”And I couldn’t hold back my laughter anymore.“You better remember that,” I warned him.“I will,” he promised earnestly, adding, “We better finish our shower so
•• Rosa’s POV •••“Jax... What... What are you doing here?”He didn’t answer my question but began taking his clothes off while gazing at me with such a scorching gaze that it made me blush.When he was naked, he stepped in front of me and pulled away my hand and arm, pinning them above my head with
“You wanted to give me the stone? So there shouldn’t be any tests?” I asked her incredulously.She stayed silent, and I knew who the real culprit was.I stood up and glared at the only mischievous person in the room. “Dad!”“Rosa, my daughter, I wanted to show the Witch Queen of your power so far,”
•• Rosa’s POV •••Just what in the world is going on?“Rosa, are you okay?” Ari asked as she helped me to stand up.“What... How are you here?” I asked in shock. “What’s going on?”“Let’s talk once we get out of here, okay?” she asked and led me to the portal.“Wait!” I stopped moving. “Jax...”“Don
I didn’t struggle.I had chosen to be the sacrifice so Rosa could live, but I felt a pang in my heart when I saw tears running down Rosa’s beautiful face.Was this how our relationship was supposed to be?Were we really not meant to be together?“Jax!” Rosa stood up and ran toward me, only to be thr
•• Jaxon’s POV •••I drove a distance away from them, enough for them not to notice but close enough for me not to lose sight of them.It wasn’t a wonder Dagon hid the stone at his last hideout.Damn demon, I thought to myself.What a pussy for using such a trick to wipe out the whole world after hi
“Dad? Elder? Lillian?” I called out to them as I looked around my surrounding only to be replied by the echoes of my own voice.Shit, this was bad!I never thought we would be separated like this!How in the world was I going to find the crys-Suddenly, I felt a very dark aura from the crystal that
•• Rosa’s POV •••After saying goodbye to Max and Ari, the four of us got into the car with Dad, in his real appearance as the driver, the Elder wizard sitting on the front passenger seat while Lillian and I sat at the back.I glanced around secretly and couldn’t find any sign of Jaxon, which I thou
