Rejected, Now Wanted Fifty-eight
~ Nathan’s POVThe sniveling maids turned to me, and they both gasped when they saw the look on my face. I had never hurt a woman before in my life, and I had never felt tempted to. But, seeing the devastated look that had crossed Bella's face at her words made my fangs and claws pop out.The one that had called me handsome gave me a hurt look before turning to her scared friend. They then hurriedly put down the tray of food and drink they had been carrying before scurrying out of the room. The one that had called me handsome gave me one last hurt and long-suffering look before following her friend out the door.I scoffed inwardly. She had looked at me as though she was my girlfriend and had just found out that I was cheating on her. I closed my eyes and began to take deep breaths, urging my anger to cool and my claws and fangs to retract. As an Alpha, my wolf was always quicker to rise to the surface than other werewolves and although it made me more powerful, I had always had to kee

~Isabella’s POVI finally slept off when I was eating and after crying and lying down on my bed. It was a relief to have fallen asleep, as my thoughts had been driving me crazy. I was woken up by Mrs Amber. She immediately hugged me when I sat up on the bed, crying and comforting me at the same time. When I saw her crying, the emotions I had buried within me a few days ago exploded within me and I joined her.We cried for more than a minute and when Mrs Amber was done, she comforted me, telling me that I would have another child who would stay with me till my old age.I thanked her for the comforting words and then I watched as she ordered her maids to come into my room. They were all carrying varieties of foods and drinks, those that could last one for more than two days. I gasped in awe when I saw these and then turned to her, telling her that her comforting words were more than enough and also explaining to her that I don’t really have much appetite.She smiled at me and then orde

~Nathan's POVI stared at the giggling maids who were looking at me acting coy and shy. I looked down at the bouquets of flowers they had stretched towards me and then back up at their faces.I looked around, to see if there was anyone hiding to take pictures or videos of the interaction.Although I had been a bit startled when I heard the maids’ confession, it was not the first time something like that would happen to me. In the past, I would have accepted the flowers and maybe even flirted with them for a while before sending them on their way, but this time around, I could not act like I used to.I scratched the back of my neck and stared at the two girls, uncomfortable with the attention, knowing my mate was in the building. I wanted to tell them that I had a mate, but I knew I couldn't. Just as I opened my mouth to politely reject the flowers, one of them gave me a wink and pouted her lips, pretending to throw me a kiss.I hesitated for a moment, unsure of how to handle the situat

~ Isabella’s POVBellaBella, wake up.Come on Bella, you have to get upBellaBella! You have to wake up!Bella! Wake up, now!I woke up with a gasp and with my whole body aching, each muscle and joint seemingly protesting against the ordeal it had endured. The dull throb in my stomach, which had been a relentless companion, had mercifully subsided, leaving me in a state of weary relief. As I opened my eyes, the harsh reality of my surroundings began to register. The memories of what had happened before I lost consciousness flooded in and I quickly shot up from my horizontal position, looking around the room, looking for Lilian.To my surprise, the familiar sight of my room greeted me. My initial disorientation gave way to a bewildered realization — I had been transported back to the confines of my room.How? I thought to myself.My gaze instinctively sought out the wall clock, its hands ticking away with the passage of time. It was night already and. I couldn't shake off the unsettl

~Isabella's POV"Where are they?" He asked as he stormed across the room to me, his eyes ablaze with anger. I stared at him, a mix of relief and apprehension flooding my senses. Lillian seized the opportunity to tell her lies."Alpha Damien, she's lying! Those two guys were here, I saw them. She's hiding them!" Lillian accused, her voice dripping with false sincerity.With false bravado, I turned, walked over to Lilian and then slapped her. She screeched as she put her hand to her cheek. She narrowed her eyes at me and took a threatening step towards me. All of a sudden, she seemed to remember that Alpha Damien was present. She took a very short, sneaky look at him and in the twinkle of an eye, the surly, furious expression on her face changed. Her mouth began to tremble and her eyes widened as they began to brim with fake tears, effectively turning her into a distressed damsel.If I wasn't in the situation I currently was in, I would have been utterly amazed, maybe even impressed by

~ Nathan’s POVI blinked at the guard to be sure I was not seeing or hearing things.Yep, he's there. I thought to myself as I blinked again and saw that he was still there.I looked at Albert at the exact same moment he looked at me, and he just shrugged when our eyes met, looking just as bewildered as I was.I was, at that moment, beginning to think that I might have become the next unsuspecting and gullible star of a prank show.I mean first the two maids that approached me outside… that was not too long ago. Now, this. Is this a joke? Am I being pranked? I thought to myself as my head began to swirl and swivel as I looked for a tiny camera.I was taken aback at the guard's words and to be sure I heard him right and why he wanted me, I asked him if he knew what he was saying.“I’m serious, I love you, Brad,” he said, scarily adamant on professing his love for me. His eyes were bloodshot and his jaw was clenched rigidly, hard enough that I worried he would shatter his teeth.For cry

~ Isabella’s POVBang!I heard a knock on my door and I immediately rose up as fast as I could from my position on the bed. I had been lying on my side, a hand placed unconsciously on my lower abdomen as I thought about several things. My mind had been racing and moving from what had transpired hours ago between Nathan and I and what had also happened between Lilian, Damien and I.I had gotten up so fast, worried that it might be Damien or Lilian again, that my head began to spin. And so I was staring in disbelief as Nathan, looking all sweaty and bloody, came in with an even more bloody Albert being carried in his arms. I shook my head slowly, wondering if I was beginning to see things."Bella." That raspy croak from Nathan snapped me out of my sleepy haze and I gasped as the full import of what I was seeing sank in… Albert and Nathan were covered in blood. Just then I noticed that Albert was unconscious. I gasped again and fully shot out of my bed.I hurried over to them and pushed

Isabella's POVAfter all that I had gone through in Damien's hands, I could not believe I was able to respond to Nathan's touch so wantonly.I was all too aware that Albert was sleeping on the bed next to us and that Damien could decide to come to my room any moment from then.But somehow, the danger only intensified the thrill running through my veins. Whatever this was between us, it had been building since the moment Nathan appeared in front of me weeks ago, and I couldn’t stop it even if I wanted to.Nathan hissed out a breath and released my throat, only to curl his hand around the back of my neck. He yanked me to him again, crushing my mouth to his, and my world imploded.Tongues, teeth, hands. We devoured each other like the world would end and this was our last chance to feel something. Perhaps it was. But I wouldn’t think about that now, not when our bodies pressed so tight against each other we might as well be one, and I was falling, falling into an abyss I never wanted to

~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
