~ Nathan’s POVWe both walked back to return to our post as it was already morning. As we got to the entrance to where the captives were and just then we met two soldiers who were already guarding the door. “Where the hell were you?” One of them yelled out immediately after he set his eyes on us.Albert and I quickly moved closer to them, bowing to them, and apologizing.“Why did you leave your duty post?” The other one asked. “We are sorry, we went to ease ourselves,” I said, still bowing.“Both of you?” He asked again.“Yes. I’m sorry I should have waited behind and allowed Albert to go first,” I said to him.They were silent for a few minutes and then finally broke the silence and yelled at us never to leave our duty post again.Albert and I nodded and then we moved closer to them to stay on guard but they told us that it was their time to stand guard and instructed us to go back to sleep. We bowed to greet them and then turned to leave. Albert turned to look back at his people

~Nathan’s POVI returned my phone back to my pocket to avoid getting caught and I quickly turned my attention to Damien. He went into his room and we were all ordered to return to our room as well. This is where the problem lies. I don’t have any room in the palace.Albert looked at my confused face and I could only stare at him as I didn’t know where to turn. Fortunately, one of the guards approached us and told us to go to the last room on the left in the palace.“Why should I go there?” I asked him, looking surprised.“What do you mean? That’s where you should be since you have no room to stay in,” he said, looking pissed.“Alpha Damien brought in some guards a few days ago and because of you guys, I can’t have my room to myself anymore. Don’t even think of coming to my room to stay with me,” he added, angrily and left.Albert and I smiled at each other and then walked to the room the guard described to us. The room was more like a student dormitory. Three other guards were alread

~ Isabella’s POVI could hear Nathan's dark murmur, but I didn't think there was anyone else in the room. After listening absentmindedly for a bit, I realized that he was on the phone. My heart sank and at the same time, I was furious that Nathan would be receiving a call in my room. I tried to listen in on the call, but I eventually gave up not being able to focus on the dizzying pain that was still arcing through my lower belly. I blinked slowly in pain, my mind was hazy as I thought about my unborn child, my baby who couldn’t make it just because of his/her Ignorant mother. I blinked back tears as the feelings of grief and guilt tore through me. I was sad and at that moment, wanted nothing else than for the doctor to come into my room and tell me that it was all a mistake. I wanted to be told and assured that my baby was alive and well.And yet, at the same time, my treacherous heart was telling me that it was for the best. That no child should have to be born to an abusive and mu

~ Isabella’s POVBefore I could reply to him/her, I heard footsteps moving away from the door. I was still tired but I had to stand up and get dressed.I felt a sharp pain in my tummy as I walked to where my clothes were to get changed. I ignored the pain and changed. I went outside and I saw that everyone was already gathered outside waiting for Damien. As I approached the crowd, I felt all eyes on me but I ignored them and went to stand among the maids. I looked around to see if Nathan was present and I felt relieved when I didn’t see him.Just then I saw him coming out of his room with a young boy walking behind him. I quickly shifted my gaze away from him, looking down. I could feel his gaze on me but I didn’t look at him.Damien came out of the room and we all went to the palace. I was uncomfortable throughout the whole journey, feeling pain all over my body.We finally got to the palace and what came after shocked me. I saw the members of the council waiting to welcome Damien an

~Isabella’s POVNathan and I were so shocked when Damien came in. Nathan quickly moved away from me, still holding the food in his hand and bowing to greet Damien.I stared with unblinking eyes at Damien as I waited for his reaction. I wrapped my arms around myself and lowered my eyes, closing them halfway. I did not want to see the blow coming.Just then, Damien’s action came as a shock. I had expected him to flare up, beating the hell out of my life, asking me why Nathan was in my room. I thought he would kill us both, especially since we had been both alone in the room. Damien was extremely possessive and jealous and I shivered when I remembered an incident that had happened a couple of weeks after we had gotten married. He had fired a guard for grabbing my arm when I stumbled in the stairs. After the guard had left, he had taken me back to the room and had had sex with me all night long. He had been determined to make me feel something for him. Eventually growing frustrated when I

~Isabella’s POV"Leave me alone, Nathan. This is all your fault! Just leave me alone." I said as I tried to bat his hands away."Bella," he said pleadingly in his gruff voice, the one that always made me just want to pull him in and hug him tight without letting go.“Did you see what you caused?” I said angrily to Nathan. He quickly placed his hand on my lips, telling me to keep quiet and pushed me against the wall, guarding my back with his hand.I glared at him and also kept mute so that I wouldn't land myself in trouble. His body pressed against mine and I began to breathe heavily as he put his head near mine. His breath tickled my ear and I began to breathe heavily.No words, no movement, just utter disbelief and dark, disturbing heat that raced through my veins like wildfire.The warmth from earlier had erupted into a full-blown volcano, dripping lava until every nerve ending blazed with sensation. My heart thundered with the force of a thousand galloping horses, and the poundi

~Isabella’s POVI was dumbfounded when I found out that Nathan had been pretending to be sick. I stared at him, wondering about the sweats he had all over his face and body.All of that was just an act.My heart slowly sputtered to a stop. It had been beating fast and hard and my mind had raced as I had imagined every worst imaginable outcome. I stared at Nathan with tears welling up in my eyes as I whispered brokenly, "Why are you doing this to me, Nathan? What did I ever do to deserve this?""Belle…" He tried to speak, but I raised a hand up, silencing him."I know you know… we both know that I can't help what I feel for you. Even though you rejected me, you are still my mate…"A broken sob escaped me. "I am not happy. Everyday, I have to fight hard to get up from my bed. I just lost my baby and you just made me believe something awful was happening to you… all just for you to get what you want…"I took a deep breath and just when I was about to continue my rant, Albert awkwardly re

~Nathan's POVDespite the anger I saw on her face and heard in her voice, I could not deny that hearing Isabella say that she had feelings for me gave me a thrill.I took it as a win that she had been worried that I was sick and she did not just walk away from me without taking care of me.However, when tears began to well up in her beautiful eyes, my happiness deflated. Hearing that she was unhappy and that she could barely get out of bed in the mornings made my stomach curdle and my blood boil.At that moment, no matter how much I hated Damien before, I hated myself so much more then.I wanted to apologize, but just then, I heard Albert telling her that Damien had been searching for her everywhere. I watched as she took deep breaths to calm herself down. I wanted so badly to wipe off her tears for her as I watched her shaky hands do so.Oh moon goddess!

~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
