~ Isabella's POV The room fell into a hush as I hesitated at the door. I didn't know what to do or where to sit, so I stood there awkwardly, feeling the weight of everyone's eyes on me.Damien, seated at the head of the table, looked up as I entered. "You arrive late and expect us to wait for you?" Damien's voice held a low growl, reasserting control. "Sit beside me. You need to learn your place."I gulped and shuffled forward to sit where he had indicated. As I gingerly took my seat at his right side, murmurs broke out and I looked at the seat directly in front of me to see that I was seated directly adjacent to Luna Amber and she was staring at me with angry, cold eyes.I was taken aback by the cold and angry glare in Luna Amber's eyes. I gave her a tentative smile, but she only gave me one last glare before pointedly looking away without reciprocating my gesture.Not even when Alpha Damien took me in as his second wife had she looked at me that way. I wondered what could have hap

~Isabella's POVYou're just starved for affection, Isabella. There's no way in hell you would actually ever want to belong to a pack like this, so full of toxicity and poison, with everyone trying to tear each other down and trample on the weaker wolves. I shuddered as I thought to myself.My gaze inadvertently met Alpha Damien's again, his eyes cold and assessing. The weight of his gaze felt like an invisible tether, a reminder that my presence here was subject to scrutiny. I shifted uncomfortably, a subtle acknowledgment of the delicate balance I was trying to maintain.Lilian returned to my side, her tray now laden with a selection of savory dishes. She placed them before me with a measured efficiency, her eyes briefly locking with mine in an unspoken exchange. The air crackled with an undercurrent of tension, the unsaid words lingering like a veil."Enjoy your meal," she murmured, the words carrying a cryptic undertone. With a final, almost imperceptible nod, she moved away, seaml

~ Isabella's POV I stood up as soon as I heard the sound of footsteps and ran into one of the bathroom stalls. I did not know why I did that. I just knew that I wanted to be alone and I did not want to be seen or come across anyone for a while.The door finally opened and the footsteps grew much more louder and closer. I heard laughing and giggling and winced as the shrill laughter only made my head hurt more."Did you see what she was wearing?" The voice that asked that question was shrill and loud.I rolled my eyes at that. I guessed they were there just to gossip."Yeah," another voice replied. "It was so last season, I nearly died from cringing."Seriously, ladies. You're not in high school anymore. I thought to myself as I hoped that they would finish up their gossiping session and leave as soon as possible.She's definitely not Luna material," a third voice chimed in, their tone dripping with condescension.My grip on the edge of the stall tightened. I had to remind myself to s

~Isabella's POVThey exchanged uneasy glances, realizing that their attempt at casual gossip had escalated into a confrontation. The atmosphere in the bathroom had shifted, tension hanging thick in the air.And then, they took it a step further. "Did you see her hair? It's like she doesn't even own a brush," the first girl sneered, her tone dripping with contempt."Right? And those clothes, she needs a stylist ASAP," the second girl added, joining in the disparaging remarks.I felt a pang in my chest, the cruel words cutting deeper than I expected. The bathroom suddenly felt suffocating, and I needed to escape the toxicity.Before they could conjure up more insults or excuses, I turned on my heel and walked out of the bathroom, leaving them with the weight of their words. The encounter had left me with a bitter taste, but I refused to let their negativity make my night even worseAs I returned to the dining room, the charged atmosphere from before seemed even more palpable.He still i

~ Damien’s POVThe dinner party finally came to an end and I was so tired. I stood up to leave and then wanted to call on Bella to follow me to my room but Amber confronted me, telling me that she needed to have an important conversation with me. I stared at her as I was aware of what she wanted to say. It was about what happened between us earlier and because I was not ready to explain my action, I glowered. “Let’s talk tomorrow,”She stood rooted in front of me, telling me that our discussion had to be at that moment.“Amber!” I shouted at her, gathering the attention of the maids and guards in the room. Bella also glanced at us and then walked away without saying anything. I was not satisfied with the look Bella gave me and I wanted to chase after her but Amber didn’t allow me. I angrily pulled her to my room, locked the door and then yelled at her.“What did you want to discuss with me?!”She flinched back, looking a bit scared but that didn't stop her from talking.“Did you eve

~ Damien’s POVWhat the hell is wrong with me? Why would I love Bella? I muttered to myself as I walked back to my room. I was a bit taken aback when I found my room to be dark. I went to the switch and I was so surprised when I found Lillian sitting on my bed naked.I threw one of my clothes at her, asking her to cover herself up and leave my room.“Why won’t you look at me, Alpha Damien?” She asked. “It’s late, Lillian. Get out of my room and don’t you ever come into my room in my absence,” I said.“You not getting mad at me shows that you truly want me, Damien. What we had that night wasn’t a mistake, the feelings were mutual,” she said, walking towards me, still not putting on her clothes or the one I gave her.“That night was a mistake and such will never happen again, Lillian,” I said.She started caressing my body and this aroused me. I moaned inwardly and when I saw that it was getting out of my control, I yelled at her.“Stop this nonsense at once, Lillian. You are still at

~ Nathan’s POVI stirred as the first rays of sunlight streamed through the window, painting the room in hues of gold. Blinking away the last remnants of sleep, I sat up and stretched, feeling a familiar sense of weariness lingering in my bones. My eyes fell upon Albert, who was already awake and watching me intently."How are you feeling?" Albert inquired quietly as the room was filled with the other guards, concern etched into his features.I offered a reassuring smile. "I'm okay, just a bit tired, I guess." I looked around to see if Grey was inside and I sighed in relief when I didn’t find him.Albert stood up and made a fuss over my body to see if I was truly fine. I chuckled at his reaction and then reassured him that I was okay. He then gave me a white bottle containing my drugs, telling me to be with it always and should always check to know if it was about to finish so as to fill it up. I thanked him and also asked him how he was feeling as well.“I’m perfectly fine,” he said

~ Nathan’s POVI stared into Albert's wide scared eyes, unable to comprehend what was happening at that moment. He let out a small groan and stumbled against me as Grey yanked out the knife. Snapping out of my disbelief and haze, I hurriedly pulled Albert closer to myself. Trying my best to ignore the warm pulses of blood that I felt spurting over my hand, I carefully pulled Albert closer to me and laid him on the ground, trying my best not to hurt him further. He reached out weakly as he tried to grab onto my hand. I looked down at him and he was weakly trying to shake his head while also trying to say something. I bent down to him to hear what he had to say properly."Don't… leave him… if you…" He could barely gasp out his words. I grabbed onto his hand that was fiercely clenching onto my hand with my other one as I tried to calm him down. "Shh… Albert, don't speak. I'll take you to the pack doctor. Just try to reserve your breath, okay?""Nath… Brad, do not fight with him… he is…

~Nathan's POV"We found her!" I looked up to see Jones standing in front of me, nearly bursting with excitement. “Where is she?” I asked. Jones explained to me that she was sold as a slave and I needed to hurry up before it got too late. I ran towards the port where she had been spotted and I was glad that I was on time. The people on the ship recognized me and wondered what I was doing and who I was searching for. I finally found Bella but she was already bleeding profusely. Jones and a few of my men were also on the ship, looking for both me and Bella. I lifted Bella who was almost on the verge of losing consciousness and then I was confronted by the men who had bought her, telling me that I had to pay them if at all I was going to take her with me. Just then, Jones saw me and then ran over to meet me. He was glad Bella was safe but then became worried when he saw the state she was in.

~ Nathan’s POVThe days were extremely long and the nights were even longer as I and my pack faced off against Damien and his pack in battle. Many of our men had been injured and we also had lost many people in the process. We both finally put a stop to the fight when none of us won. Damien returned back to his pack with his surviving people and I also did the same. The doctors came to attend to me but I insisted that they treated those that needed urgent care and attention. I noticed that I had not set my eyes on Albert during the fights and luckily I found him among the injured men receiving treatment. He was sleeping after getting shot and I was told that he needed to rest. I chastened him for not sticking close to him like I asked. Rather than apologizing, he had retorted that he had held his ground and had been just fine without me."I can clearly see that," I said, raising a sardonic eyebrow and nodding my chin towards his bandaged arm."You may have held your ground, Albert, bu

~ Damien’s POVIt didn't take long before we finally got to the place where Bella was hiding. I didn’t know that Nathan had such a beautiful place hidden in a forest. It was a house by the beach and the whole place was silent and serene. I charged in angrily without admiring the beauty of nature and how beautiful the place was. I searched frantically for her, turning the whole place into a big mess and yelling her name. I finally saw her in the room, sleeping so soundly and the memories of the moments I had shared with her ran through my mind. She woke up grumpily and was so frightened and shocked when she saw me.“What are you doing here, Damien?!” She yelled out.I smiled mischievously when I saw how scared she was. She looked so beautiful and all I thought about was how to make her mine again. I shifted the thoughts away and then moved closer to her.Her voice was tinged with fear and defiance, but it only fueled the fire burning within me. I took pleasure in the sight of her tremb

~ Nathan’s POVBella pouted and whined and complained, but I did not heed her pleas. It hurt me to see her sad and letting her out of my sight to go so far away, especially during a time like this went against my protective instincts."But, Nathan. I don't want to go. I want to stay here with you. Pleaseeee." She begged, looking up at me with those eyes that could bring a man down to his knees.I moved closer to her and palmed her soft cheek with my hand."I don't want you to leave either, Sunshine. But you have to, Damien is doing all of this because he is after you and has a grudge against me for taking you back. You're my weakness, but you are also my strength. I can't lose you, no matter what."She tried to protest again against it, her brows furrowing together in consternation."Please, Bella. Don't argue with me over this. Think instead of our baby, I'm only trying to protect you both."At my words, her eyes softened and she bit her lip, staring up at me through her lashes.Afte

~ Nathan's POVIsabelle whimpered at the soldier’s words. I turned to look at her briefly, noting her pale face and sweaty brows. I turned back to the soldier. "Get me, Jones, immediately!" I barked out.He bowed and hurriedly left.I turned back to Isabella who was beginning to look ill.I sat down and pulled her closer, bending down to look into her face."Hey, look at me," I said softly, trying to calm us both. Her despair was hurting me as well."Are you okay?" I asked her when her eyes came to mine.She whimpered again, her eyes wide as she clutched onto me."I'm sorry, this is all my fault and…" She could not finish her sentence, she slumped and I reached out to catch her, closing my arms around her as my heart stuttered and missed several beats."Isabella? Isabella! Wake up, please!" I begged, helpless to do anything as her eyes closed and her head lolled against my chest.My mind raced as I wondered what could be wrong with her. Just then, Jones came in with a soldier behind

~Nathan’s POVAs soon as Damien proclaimed war, Bella and I were immediately surrounded by his guards and sentinels. Some pointed their guns at us, the others baring their teeth and claws at us. A couple of them even completely shifted into their wolf forms, causing many of the guests to exclaim in horror. I stood in front of Bella, putting an arm out to ensure that nothing would happen to her because I could sense her agitation and fear, while everyone else watched in horror. As I mentally tried to calculate the odds of us escaping and leaving without any harm, I began to regret announcing Bella as my Luna and declaring war against Damien without any preparation. Bella, I thought to myself. She was my first priority. I have to get her out of here, alive and uninjured. At that moment, I did not care about myself or how things could end up for me, I just needed Bella to be safe and healthy. One of the wolves dared to move closer and I snapped my teeth at him, warning him to stay back

~ Nathan’s POVI stared at Bella in confusion, bewildered as to why she was suddenly treating me that way. My eyebrows furrowed as I thought about the previous night and if I had done something to her I was not aware of.I asked her what was wrong, but she just screamed at me to get out.I was initially hurt when Bella asked me to get out of her room. However, I noticed her hands had been trembling as she yelled at me and her cheeks had been flushed, but not with anger. I wondered what had gone wrong. I put my mouth to her door and tried to whisper reassuringly to her."I love you, Bella. No matter what, remember that I love you and will protect you with all of my heart."Thanks to my heightened hearing as an Alpha, I was able to hear the small sob she let out. There was another sound after that, it sounded as though she had slapped her hand over her mouth to prevent any more sounds from escaping, but it was too late. I was by then, certain that her sudden behavior was not due to her

~ Isabella’s POV“I know the whole thing, Bella! I know who Nathan is and your relationship with him too! How dare you!” Damien glowered at me. I was so shocked when I heard him but acted as though I had no clue who he was talking about. Also, to protect me and Nathan, I yelled at him, asking him who Nathan was.“Who the hell is Nathan?!” I screamed out, feeling so scared.He smiled mischievously and then strangled me.“You are still denying that you don’t know him! How dare you try to divorce me just because of him?! I know that he is Nathan Grayson, the Alpha of the blood moon pack!” He glowered again and then released me.I stammered, my mind racing with confusion and fear. How did Damien know about Nathan, and why did he seem so amused by it?Damien continued to laugh, a wicked glint in his eyes. "You thought you could escape from me so easily, Isabella? I know everything about you, every move you make." His voice was cold and calculating.My heart pounded in my chest as the real

~ Isabella’s POVIt was morning and I woke up from my bed feeling grumpy. I could still perceive Nathan’s scent in my room and the memories of the previous nights flooded in my head. I could feel the heat rush into my cheeks as I thought of how careful he had been with me. Thinking of how he had promised to free me from Damien's clutches made tears of joy and relief spring to my eyes. I sat there on my bed, not doing anything else, just smiling and content to rest in the knowledge that soon, I would be free from Damien and back to my old pack. My blissful respite was soon cut short when doubts began to creep in. What if I'm not accepted by the pack? I was once the pack's omega and runt. And now? They are supposed to just accept me as their Alpha's mate? Who would believe and accept that the omega is now their Luna? I shook my head, trying to dislodge the traitorous and painful thoughts, but they kept on coming like persistent shadows in the corners of my mind. I knew that returning
