~ Nathan’s POV “I’m not dying, Jones,” I said to him, angrily.He laughed out loud. I could tell her covered his mouth with his hands by how his laughter vibrated.“Relax, Nathan. I didn’t mean it that way,” he said, still laughing.I rolled my eyes, asking him why he asked me if I was dying. “The dialogue was from a movie scene I just watched, it was so hilarious as you had just the same tone as the actor,” he said.“I know you can’t just die like that, Nathan,” he added.Just then, I remembered that Jones doesn’t like watching movies, and because of that he never bought a television. “Where are you?” I asked him.“Hmm, you noticed that I wasn’t in my room despite how much I tried to hide the fact that I was in the palace,” he said playfully.“And why are you in the palace?” I asked again.“Didn’t you ask me to cover up for you? I’m in the palace to fill in for your absence,” he said.“I did ask you to cover up for me but I didn’t approve that you can stay in my room, Jones. Get

~Nathan’s POVI was still in shock as I watched the soldiers going from one house to another, killing everyone including the younger ones and burning their houses. Those who struggle or fight with them are beaten and taken as captives. My gaze turned to Damien, he was smiling coldly as he went on a rampage, killing anyone that came his way. He was shouting at the top of his voice, ordering the soldiers to kill without mercy.I knew he was ruthless and wicked, but I didn’t know he would go this far. His gaze showed no mercy and he killed without thinking. “Why are you standing not doing anything?” One of the soldiers shouted at me.“This isn’t the first time you are witnessing the Alpha in a rampaging mood, so get your ass together,” he added.I moved away from where I was staying and went to a shady and secretive area. I pulled out my phone and sent a message to Jones. I took a short video of the soldiers and Damien killing every member of the Shadow pack. I sent the video to Jones

~ Nathan's pov I racked my brain to come up with a reasonable excuse, one that would not blow my cover, but at the same time, would not require me to give the boy up and expose him. However, as hard as I tried to come up with one, my brain chose to fail me at that moment. I did not expect Damien and some of the soldiers to have seen where I had been hiding with Albert. I turned back to look at Albert who was hiding behind me and I could see that he was scared, his body was trembling and his eyes were pleading for me to save him."Are you deaf?" Damien yelled at me again when I stayed silent as though I was indeed deaf.I returned my gaze to Damien and just as I was about to get down on my knees to apologize and plead for mercy, as I couldn't come up with any excuse, Albert came forward. He confidently greeted Damien with a bow and introduced himself, wisely leaving out his last name. Damien, who was still in an angry mood, gave the boy a condescending look.I subtly inched forward.

~ Nathan’s POV“Damien killed your father?” I asked to be sure of what I just heard.“Father locked us in a room to protect us from Damien when he heard of his arrival at the entrance of our pack,” Albert said.“I peeped through and witnessed how he had killed my father angrily,” he added.I was silent as I didn’t know what else to say to the boy. He only stared at me, probably waiting for me to say something but I was short of words.“You will save my sister from him, right?” He asked me.“Sure, I will do all my possible best to save her,” I said to him.He smiled at me and we finally got to understand what was going on around us, the fight had already stopped. Several houses were burned down and corpses were lying all around. I watched as the captives, crying for help, were being transported to Damien’s pack. Damien also returned back to the pack with the captives and some of the soldiers, leaving few soldiers behind to clean up after him.“I will make sure Damien dies at my hand som

~ Nathan’s POVEverything slowed down and my heart began to throb, each beat sending out jolts of pain through my body. I was distressed and hated myself at that moment for not being able to save Albert’s sister. Another jolt of pain lanced through me as I watched Albert scream out in pain, still holding on tightly to his little sister's body. My hand went to my chest, as I tried to hold back my wince of pain, still staring down at his trembling frame around his sister's body.His people also joined him. I only stared at them as I didn't know what to do or say at that moment. After some minutes, they all stopped crying, Albert still panting as he held his sister’s dead body.In that somber tableau, the little girl's presence lingered—an innocent soul lost to the unforgiving hands of fate. Her stillness painted a poignant picture of life's fragility, a stark reminder that even the purest souls could be engulfed by the darkness that sometimes shadows our path. As I stood there, a sil

Nathan’s POV“We should leave now, Albert,” I said to him after a while. The pain in my chest lingered, although it had died down a little bit a few minutes ago. However, it still throbbed and burned especially whenever I thought of the pain poor Albert must have been going through at that moment.Although I had lost my mother when I was still little and I was just five years old, as I had told Albert. However, despite the fact that it happened a long time ago, I still hurt and feel sad whenever I think about my mom.My mom, a sweet and caring soul, had been the rock of our little pack, back when our lack was still little and growing. She had been my dad's loving partner, a trusted friend to our pack mates, and, most importantly, a loving mom to me. The memories of those times played in my head like a sad movie, each scene etched with the pain that shaped my early years.One bright morning, the shady shadows of another pack messed up our peaceful turf. We used to live in the heart of

~ 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

~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. He ordered one of the guards to get the car ready, led me to the car, and then left for the pala

~ 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
