Rejected, Now Wanted Twenty-nine
~ Isabella’s POVIt was so bright in the morning as the sun shone on me and then I woke up on the bed with my vision blurry. I looked around to see where I was and then Lillian brought her face closer to mine which made me open my eyes wider and quickly sit up to see where I was. As I did so, nausea rose up in me and my head began to pound as the memories of the previous night came to me. I closed my eyes briefly and opened it again as every part of me protested against the slight movement. I held onto my head my one hand, as I winced in pain and then Lillian shouted at me to stop being a weak person.“Why are you here?” I asked as soon as I was able to lift my head without feeling dizzy.She smirked and then went to bring me a cup of water to drink. I cautiously took the cup of water from her and only stared at it, not making any attempt to drink from it.“What? You think I might have poisoned it?” She asked, chuckling.I placed the cup of water on the small table beside my bed and a

~Nathan’s POVI woke up feeling dizzy and my head was pounding like I had been hit on the head with a stone. Dr Lucas was sitting beside me on the bed checking my pulse.“Are you okay, Your majesty?” He asked immediately, he saw me opening my eyes. Jones also ran to my side when he heard Lucas’s voice. They both helped me up and I asked them how long I was unconscious.“More than twelve hours, Your majesty. Your breathing and heart rate are stable at the moment but I can’t say if you won’t have another crisis later.” Lucas said.“Thank you, Lucas. You can return back to the infirmary.” I said weakly.He packed his bags and bowed before leaving the room. I looked at the time and it was past twelve.“The meeting.” I said as I stood up from the bed, charged towards my wardrobe to get dressed and informed Jones to call in the members of the council to have our meeting.“They were here this morning and I led the meeting on your behalf.” Jones said.I felt relieved and asked him what he t

~Damien’s POVI was still in the deep throes of sleep in the very early morning of the next day when Luke arrived from the pack's territory. He braved my anger by waking me up before the stipulated time that I had ordered that I must not be woken up before that time. He had come back with the report from the soldiers at the pack’s territory. I was still yelling at him for bathing into my channels early in the morning when he bravely interrupted me, on his knees. He claimed that I had to see the report as soon as possible as it was urgent and needed my full attention.I read through the report and it was reported that the Shadow Pack had finally launched an attack on us. I say finally because the Shadow Pack was a small pack I had been trying to conquer and take over for months. It was a neighboring pack that had just come into existence and from the moment I knew about them, I decided to take them back for myself. They had encroached on my Pack's territory and had always gotten on my

~ Isabella’s POVMrs Amber and I looked at each other, with identical expressions of fear on our faces when Damien chased us out of his room. I looked at her sadly and then she turned to me. "I’m sorry about the way Alpha Damien treated you just now. I’m sure he is dealing with something important, that was why he behaved that way," she said, smiling softly.What? She is still apologizing on his behalf after being humiliated in the presence of Luke. So this is how Damien had been treating his mate. I’m not the only one he treated badly.I nodded at her and then she retired to her room while I did so too. I changed into the maid clothes and rushed to the kitchen as I didn’t want any trouble with Lillian. I was mentally and emotionally drained to argue or fight with anyone. When I entered the kitchen, the maids all looked back at me and with a smirk they all gossiped about what happened the previous night between Damien and I. I ignored them and went to my duty post to start working.J

~Isabella’s POV"Wait, what?" Jonas' face had turned incredulous with shock. All of a sudden, the muscles of his face relaxed, and his shock gave way to bemusement."You are joking, right?” Jones asked, a tentative smile on his face.“Do I look like I’m joking? I got married to Alpha Damien a few days ago.” I said, trying to keep my emotions off my face.It was a difficult feat as my mind began to race with questions. Hope flared in my chest, but I ruthlessly stamped it down. I had learned the hard way that hope was a futile thing and it only left me feeling worse once disappointed.Why would Nathan be looking for me now? He was the one who rejected me and because of his rejection, I had suffered at the hands of Damien. I became an object of mockery to him and his pack members. I cleared my throat and, fighting back the tears that wanted to spill over, I looked up at Jones and told him to return back to his pack without me."No," he said as he shook his head violently."Leave Beta J

~Nathan’s POVIt was getting late and I began to worry about Jones as he hadn't gotten back from where he had gone to. As more and more time passed, my worry and anxiety grew worse. After hours and hours of waiting, I went to bed, but I could not sleep. I tossed right and left on my bed, occasionally checking the time.Soon the bed began to feel too hot, so I went into the shower to take a warm shower. I felt only marginally better and got back into bed, but that didn't last long.Soon, my mind began to race with various thoughts, and I resumed my tossing and turning on the bed. Frustrated, I got off the bed and began to pace around my room.I went to the minibar and grabbed an expensive bottle of whisky, taking a gulp directly from the bottle. I brought out my phone and texted Jones for the umpteenth time, but just like the other times, he did not reply to my message. I dialed his number several times but he wasn’t picking up. I angrily tossed my phone on my bed, watching as it bou

~ Nathan’s POV“I’m still worried about letting you go off on your own into an enemy's territory. Not just any enemy, Alpha Damien. He's going to find out the minute you infiltrate his borders and then, all hell will break loose. I really think you should rethink this,” Jones said worriedly, his brows furrowed together.“I will be fine, Jones. I'm not a kid and I can take good care of myself. Just let me know whenever you need my help to lead the pack,” I said.Jones insisted that he drove me to Damien’s territory as that would make him feel a little bit more at ease. I gave in and he drove me to the territory. When we got there, he turned off the ignition and asked me what I would do once I entered Damien’s pack. “I will look for Bella,” I said firmly."You already told me where she is, so I’m heading there right away,” I added."You look too much like an Alpha, Nathan. With your outfit that screams rich, noble, and designer, I’m certain you won't be able to go too far before you'

~ Nathan’s POVBella looked down and was so shocked when she saw that she was bleeding."Oh my moon goddess. I'm bleeding," she said softly in shock.My heart began to beat a fast rapid rhythm, one not unlike the other ones I had felt during my sudden bouts of illness.But this time, this tune around, it wasn't for me. It was for the delicate young lady in front of me who, by that time, was nearly bent over in pain as blood trickled down her legs.“What’s wrong? Did you eat something bad?” I asked her, worriedly.“I….don’t…know. Nathan…” She struggled to say as she was unable to breathe. Her breath came faster and faster until I feared she was going to pass out right in front of me."Isabella, breathe. You have to breathe," I said to her as I scanned the surroundings looking for someone who could help.“What should we do?” I asked again, feeling utterly useless and stupid. I was an Alpha, and not just an ordinary Alpha. I was an extremely powerful Alpha, head of one the most powerful

~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
