~Damien’s POV

“What are you doing here?” I growled as I took a step towards her menacingly and she took a step backwards as well. I glowered at her furiously and I could see her shaking in fear, causing the tray in her hands to also shake. She was carrying a tray containing pancakes and a glass of what seemed to be orange juice.

“I…. I was told… I came to give you this.” She said stammering, holding out the tray as she flinched, her arms trembling.

“I explicitly gave an order that no one is to come into this section of the garden and you are here standing before me. Do you think I am a joke just because I proposed to you?” I asked, still angry.

'No…no, of course not. I… I had no idea. I wouldn't have bothered you…if I had known."

"Are you saying that you did not see the guards stationed at the entrance?" I growled.

"I didn't. And it was Lilian who asked me to bring this to you. She said it was your routine, having this whenever you're in the garden."

    ~Nathan’s POV Laura’s words left me dumbfounded. I hadn't expected her to be so forward about her feelings. Although I was taken aback, I liked that she was confident and went for what she wanted, unlike Isabella who was too timid and soft-spoken. I took a sip of my water and I could feel Laura’s hand reaching out to mine. I allowed her to hold my hand and, trying to figure out if she could truly give up everything for me, I placed down the cup of water and looked at her with what I hoped was a loving expression on her face. “And what if you found your mate?” I asked her.“My mate?” She asked.“Yes. Your mate.” “Then I will reject him. I want to be with you, Alpha Damien.” She said, smiling.I smiled at her ignoring the sharp pain I felt in my chest. It was the mate bond. I will never allow that lowly omega to tie me down. I thought to myself.“If that’s the case Laura, we still need to take things easy. I will claim you as my mate very soon. But before that, I need to attend to

    ~Nathan’s POV“Really?” I asked, ignoring the emotion that bubbled up and suspiciously seemed like happiness.Jones nodded and the guard that came in with the news also nodded. I cleared my throat, ignoring the way my heart throbbed and pounded.“Where is she? Where has she been? Is she okay?” I asked.Calm down, Nathan.“They found her in a nearby small town. It is the town that supplies us with bullets. They had traced her scent and they found out that she is currently staying with an old man. She also seems to have lost her memory,” Jones said, smiling.“Really? That sounds better. That means that she doesn’t remember what happened between us,” I said, my heart in my throat.“I guess so,” Jones said.“So get the car ready, I will go with you to the village. It’s better to leave her with an old man but her memory loss may be temporary. I need to make sure that she won’t be able to come back here. I shouldn’t give room for any loose ends,” I said as I stood up and moved to my wardro

    ~ Isabella’s POV“I’m so sorry if I did anything wrong, Alpha Damien. Please don't do this.” I cried out as I scooted backwards on the bed and I pleaded with him.He paid no attention to me or my yelling, just continued to take off his clothes whilst staring at me with that dangerous gleam in his eye.“I’m so sorry about the way I talked to you. I know it was rude of me when I came to the garden earlier. I shouldn't have gone into the garden. I'll… I'll never do that again.” I added, a hitch in my voice.I thought my pleas would have made him back off, but he continued to ignore me while taking off his clothes.He eventually finished taking off his clothes and my heart climbed up into my throat as he got into the massive bed.I let out a scream and tried to jump off the bed, regardless of knowing that I wouldn't be able to go far. He grabbed a foot and dragged me back down. He pinned me down on the bed beneath him, smiling dangerously.“Now that you've seen me nude, I think it’s only

    Nathan’s POVClara approached me and I immediately took a step backwards. I held my hand out and asked her to stop which she did, tilting her head as she ran her gaze over me.I pinched the bridge of my nose in exaggeration and turned to the old man. “Sir, the female we are looking for is not Clara but Isabella,” I said.“Maybe her name is Isabella. I only gave her the name Clara when I saw that the poor girl was unable to remember who she was. It was my wife's name, you know. And it's such a pretty name. And my wife was so pretty, the prettiest girl I ever saw. Too bad, she was also so stubborn. She never listened to me…” The old man began rambling, seemingly lost in his thoughts.Jones came over to me and whispered to me, "What do we do now?"“What else? We should head back home, of course. This was such a waste of time,” I said angrily.“And make sure you find the person who gave the false information on Isabella,” I added angrily.As I turned to leave I noticed that Clara was hold

    ~ Isabella’s POVI heard someone muttering and it felt like they were speaking directly into my ears. My ears were ringing and my mouth felt like it had been stuffed with cotton wool. Where am I? Am I dead? Am I still alive?Groaning softly, I opened my eyes to see if I was still alive. I looked up at the ceiling and instantly recognised where I was. I was in Alpha Damien’s room and I had been laid down on his big bed. He was nowhere to be found. I glanced to my right to see the old doctor who had drugged me earlier approaching me with a syringe, I immediately sat up and held out a hand to hold him off while still yelling at him.“Don't you dare come near me, especially with that syringe. I trusted you but you betrayed me. What were you trying to do again? Inject me with another substance, maybe one that'll do more than just knock me out?" I asked as I frantically looked around to see if the young boy who had been with him the first time I met him was also present.The young boy was

    ~Isabella's POVAlpha Damien released me and walked over to his bed. He sat down and leaned back against his hands. He stared at me expectantly, and then I walked closer to him.“I have to tell you something, Alpha Damien.”“I’m all ears.” He said, cocking an eyebrow.“I… I…" I stumbled over my words."I don't have all day, Isabella." He drawled but still managed to make it sound dark and threatening.I took a deep breath. "I have decided to accept your proposal and be your… wife,” I said sadly.He smiled sardonically. "Hmm… why don't I believe you, Isabella?I glared at him and gritted. "I'm being serious and truthful."He barked out a harsh laugh. "Forgive me if I don't believe you. After all, you tried to trick me once. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me, right?""I'm not trying to fool you." “For your sake, I hope not. I really hope that you're not still harboring crazy ideas of running away.” He said glaring at me.“I will kill you myself if you think you can

    Damien’s POVI angrily got off my bed and dashed off to the torturing room where Isabella was, as stated by Luke. Luke also ran after me. My vision had become coated with a dangerous red haze as I anticipated tearing off the heads of those who might have laid their hands on her. I was the only one with the right to torture her, she was mine to torture, mine to fuck, mine to do whatever I wanted, she was mine and mine alone.And yet, someone dares to touch her? She belongs to me!A growl escaped my lips and I walked even faster and reached the dungeons.The guard who had been dozing off with his legs up on the table immediately shot to his feet, wincing as the chair he had been seated on crashed to the floor as I barged in.I barely spared him a glance as I told Luke, "Get rid of him."His cries of pleas rang in my ears as I stalked down the hallway until I got to the last cell. I pushed the door open and then I saw the petite figure chained on a chair. She must have been flogged and t

    ~Isabella's POVThere was pain, there was discomfort as my body rocked. I whimpered in pain, but it didn't stop.Isabella, open your eyes!I whimpered again and opened my eyes weakly to see Damien's face closed in pleasure as he thrust into me. I stared up at the bunched muscles in his neck, feeling disgust, shame, and anger warring in me.Anger won and rose up to the surface in me.I have gone through several beatings and other forms of torture for something I know nothing about. And yet, the first thing this cruel man does after saving me is to rape me. He is truly wicked and ruthless.I gasped in pain as his thrusts became rougher, and despite being weak, I immediately tried to push him off me. But instead, he grabbed my hands and dragged them over my head, pinning them in place with one large hand and effectively lessening the force of my struggles.I wouldn't give in, still trying to budge him off me. Another burst of pain landed through me as I tried bucking him off me, which ca

    ~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
