The Alpha Daughter's Third Mate Chapter 24
Bella’s povIn the dark night, I and a dozen other girls struggled forward under the coercion of the kidnappers. In the dimly lit underground passage, we walked for what felt like an eternity before finally emerging.The kidnappers took us into a vehicle, and after some time, the vehicle came to a stop in a small mountain village. It seemed to be the headquarters of these villains. Our eyes were not blindfolded when we entered. They weren't afraid of us escaping because, in addition to the dozen kidnappers who had just returned, there were a total of twenty or thirty people. They were robust, armed, and not someone we, weak women, could resist.We were locked in another house. The day had not yet dawned, and after the long journey and lack of sleep, many girls continued to sleep. Sighing, besides sleeping, it seemed like there was nothing else to do.I lay on my side, preparing to catch up on sleep. At this moment, a small figure lay down beside me. It was Jane."Jane, is there someth

Haydn's povIt was a relief to reunite with my mate, and I felt grateful that she stood before me unharmed. Shifting back to human form, I embraced her tightly. Her warm hands on my face brought a sense of relaxation and ease. After hours of uncertainty, my hesitant heart finally let go, allowing me to breathe freely again."Bella, did you get hurt?" Bella shook her head. Nevertheless, I thoroughly checked her from head to toe. Fortunately, I only noticed some marks on her wrist. I gently traced my fingers over the indentations, feeling a pang of sorrow."It's okay; I didn't feel much pain." Even though my mate claimed she was fine, I couldn't forgive the slightest harm to her. Those kidnappers had crossed a line by daring to abduct the Luna Queen of this nation."Where are the other kidnappers?" When I arrived, the battle had already concluded. I felt immense pride in my mate's power and strength.Bella introduced me to the girls who had suffered alongside her. The girls were both ex

Bella’s povLate at night, Haydn and I lay in bed together. Haydn held me tightly, leaving no space between us. Lately, he had been tense, constantly worrying about my safety. Wherever I went, he accompanied me, always by my side."Tomorrow, I want to visit the slums." Some of the girls rescued from the kidnappers had been returned home, but others were left homeless, residing in the slums. Judy and Jean, my friends, were in such a situation, and I wanted to check on how they were doing."Why do you want to go to the slums?" Haydn didn't immediately agree, not wanting Bella to go out alone under any circumstances."I want to see Judy and Jean.""I've already sent aid to them and the other people in the slums; enough to sustain them for several months." Speaking of the slums, Haydn couldn't help but think of the poor girl Lily and her grandmother."Haydn, I can't stay in the palace forever." I looked at Haydn seriously, expressing my thoughts. "If you're really worried about me, just a

Haydn’s pov"Are you ready?" my mate asked me."Not really," I pretended to furrow my brow."Do you need some encouragement?" Bella didn't realize I was trying to win her sympathy."Yes, a kiss, please." I pointed to my lips, gesturing for Bella to kiss me. Instead of a sweet kiss, I got a soft punch. "Dare you tease me!"Hahaha.I grabbed Bella's hand and planted a kiss on the back of it. "Wait for my good news."After bidding farewell to my mate, I prepared to meet with those nobles.I sat on the high throne, coldly observing the large group of nobles below. They were all dressed in opulence, with gems on their clothes that could sustain the lives of the poor for several years."Greetings, Your Majesty. We wonder why you summoned us today," one noble spoke up."The weather is turning colder, but many of the poor in the capital have no fixed abode, and there's a shortage of food. The state finances, due to years of constant warfare, can no longer allocate more funds. Do any of you ha

Bella’s povI was shocked by the information from Dr. Well. He said I was unique and could make a special potion. But I had no idea what feature of mine was leading to this unexpected result."Dr. Wells, I don't know what you mean by my uniqueness," I said. After all, I'm just a novice in medicine, and I'm completely unfamiliar with many advanced pharmacological concepts.Haydn, taking my hand, reassured me, "How can you prove your idea is correct?"Dr. Wells pondered and replied, "Miss Bella, could you come to the pharmacy and make another potion?""Of course," I nodded.Haydn accompanied me, and Dr. Wells, to the pharmacy. He stationed soldiers outside, forbidding anyone from approaching."I think it's best if Miss Bella and I simultaneously make a potion. This way, we can objectively compare the results," Dr. Wells suggested, a reasonable approach to obtain unbiased experimental results.So, Dr. Wells and I sat at the same table, using the same materials and following the same step

Bell’s povI picked up a golden coin, and my eyes reflected the golden glow of the money. Several large boxes were filled with coins, plundered from the nobility. After opening them all, the quantity of these coins looked remarkably substantial."I'll immediately arrange for people to rebuild the slums," Haydn said, standing next to me."I believe their lives will improve."Days later,Winter arrived, marking the first snowfall.Fortunately, the reconstruction of the slums was complete. Today, Haydn and I planned to visit again.Even before reaching there, I sensed that the surroundings had changed. Muddy paths had transformed into new paved roads, widened and cleaned up. Upon reaching the slums, the difference was even more apparent. The chaotic layout of houses was gone, replaced by brand-new structures standing on the land. Surprisingly, there were newly built schools and hospitals.As the royal carriage arrived, many slum residents lined the streets to welcome us."Welcome, Your M

Bella's povI hurried to the palace gate to welcome my brothers and parents. The wedding day was approaching, and my family had arrived to be with me."Mom and Dad, I've missed you so much." I embraced my parents, Alpha Logan Brown and Luna Angelia."Bella, sweetheart, we missed you too," Mom whispered, her voice filled with warmth and love. Dad held me a little tighter, conveying his affection through a silent embrace. In their arms, I felt a profound sense of security.I didn't forget my dear brothers. The three of us had never been apart for so long since birth. It was wonderful to be reunited with them.Waverly playfully ruffled my hair with a grin. "Little sis, you've become even more beautiful since we last saw you."I chuckled, swatting his hand away. "Flattery will get you nowhere, Waverly." Then, my gaze shifted to Wayland, my older brother, who watched the exchange with a fond smile."I am glad you're safe and in good health." Wayland remained dependable as ever, exuding a w

Bella’s pov"Bella, my child, open your eyes." A gentle voice echoed in my ears.I opened my eyes and saw a woman standing before me, as gentle as a mother. She seemed to radiate a sacred light, making it hard to look directly at her. Without her telling me, I knew she was the Moon Goddess."Moon Goddess, are you here to help me?""Yes, I am here to help you understand your own powers.""My powers?""Bella, your country is facing the invasion of dark forces, but you can rely on your own powers to protect your loved ones and your people.""Goddess, please tell me what to do.""Explore the power in your necklace; it will help you overcome dark magic.""Thank you, Goddess."I woke up and found myself back in my room."Thank goodness, Bella, you're awake." Waverly sighed in relief at seeing his sister awake."What happened, brother?" I remembered standing outside my mother's door just moments ago."You fainted.""Is Mom okay? Is she still... alive?" I cried. "How long was I out?""Less th

Bella’s pov"Haydn, why are you looking at me like that?" I felt a sense of fear creeping over me."Bella, why are you so afraid? I would never harm you," Haydn reassured me with a gentle expression.Is it just my nerves acting up?"I'm sorry, I... I had a terrible nightmare." Rubbing my throbbing temples, I tried to clear my head, to distinguish between reality and dream."It's okay," Haydn softly embraced me.Maybe it's just my nerves after all."Dear, How about you?" Haydn's condition last night was truly dreadful."Yeah, I am good.""I am fine," he confirmed his words.Haydn offered a somewhat stiff smile."I really hope everything gets better soon," I sighed."It will."After breakfast, I parted ways with Haydn; he had official matters to attend to, while I made my way to the library.I hoped to find some useful information there to help break Haydn's curse.The Moon Goddess said love could conquer all, but how?I needed to quicken my pace to lift the curse on Haydn. A vague sens
The Alpha Daughter's Third Mate Chapter 44
The Third Person's povBased on the events of the previous two nights, both Haydn and Bella recognized that night was a critical point in time when the curse would strike. So they intend to prepare in advance tonight to avoid risks. To prevent himself from hurting Bella, King Haydn decided to stay in different rooms with Bella. He would be locked in a room alone. Gray was in charge of guarding the door for the King.Bella and Haydn finished their meal early, they ate normal food as Haydn had not yet lost his mind.Outside the castle window, the last rays of sunlight were about to disappear, Haydn and Bella stood by the window, not looking relaxed, they both knew that tonight was going to be a very difficult time. Dark crows rested on the roof of the grand building, seeming to signal something ominous was about to happen"Bella, I need to go back to my room alone now," Haydn kissed Bella's forehead, "Good night, sweet dreams and don't worry about me"Bella was a million times more worr

Bella's povSunrise, after 6 AM.It seemed like I had been walking in the darkness for a long time, not knowing when it would end.Finally, a glimmer of light tore through the oppressive curtain in the pitch blackness.I saw the familiar Moon Goddess, so gentle and radiant that she made me feel safe and warm."Moon Goddess, please help me." I cried, praying for the goddess' favor."My child, let me hold you." The Moon Goddess embraced me like a mother, my mind was cleansed and all the heartache and sorrow seemed to disappear."Goddess, Haydn is in trouble. Please help me save him." The Moon Goddess was all-powerful and all-knowing, Haydn's strange changes must be within her knowledge. I really hoped that the Goddess would be able to restore Haydn to normal and change back to what I was familiar with."He was cursed." Cursed? Haydn and I both wore moonlight necklaces, and I thought the pair would protect us both from the dark magic. Why didn't the necklaces work this time?As if readin

Bella’s povAfter 6 PM.I nestled in Haydn's embrace for a short nap. When I woke up, the sky had completely darkened."What time is it?" I sensed a strange smell. "Haydn, what are you drinking?"Haydn held a cup of red liquid. Was it wine? His expression was one of enjoyment as if he found the 'drink' delicious."Do you want a sip?""No." Was it really wine? The scent didn't seem right. "This wine doesn't smell quite right."I moved away from his embrace, keeping a distance from Haydn."It's not wine. It's blood." There was still some red liquid left on Haydn's lips, which looked a little weird.I felt nauseous. Stepping back, I increased the distance between us."Are you crazy?" I shouted. He ate raw meat last night, and tonight he's drinking blood. What's wrong with his head?"Animal blood." Haydn raised the glass to show me."Gosh." Haydn was freaking mad. Knowing it was animal blood was no better than human blood. My stomach churned; I felt like throwing up without having eaten.

Bella's pov Sunset, after 6 PM The last glow in the sky faded away, and night fell. I picked up the daffodil vase from the windowsill, intending to move it to another place. I treaded lightly, trying not to make any sound to wake Haydn. He had been exhausted lately, never fully asleep since I got pregnant. The afternoon sun was perfect today, and he unintentionally dozed off while talking to me. I didn't have the heart to disturb him, deciding to let him rest and recharge. Suddenly, Haydn opened his eyes with a start. His eyes were dark, and his expression appeared cold. "Haydn, did I wake you?" I asked with concern. "No," Haydn shook his head, uttering a brief word. He rubbed his temples, seeming somewhat in pain. "Did you get a headache?" I placed the vase down, moved behind Haydn, and used my index fingers to massage his temples. "Feeling better?" Haydn nodded gently. "It's time for dinner," he said, then left the room without another word. He didn't invite me to join him,
The Alpha Daughter's Third Mate Chapter 40
Bella’s povI woke up from the darkness, my heart pounding rapidly. Haydn, still half-asleep, but instinctively patted my back. Ever since I became pregnant, he had been keeping a close eye on me at night, anticipating any needs I might have."Bella, you're sweating a lot on your back. Were you having a nightmare?" Haydn asked, woke up by my movements."I don't remember, but the terrifying feeling scared me.""I'm here, no one can hurt you."In a drowsy state, I drifted back to sleep, this time without any bad dreams, sleeping well.The Third Person’s povOlivia successfully escaped from the royal city, concealing her tracks all the way until she finally returned to the pack of the Rogue King, Enzo DeLuca. The pack was hidden in a secret location. Olivia was allowed passage only after revealing the wolf head tattoo on her arm to the guards.Led to meet Enzo, Olivia entered a room where skulls were piled like a tower, showcasing the cruelty of the room owner. Left alone in the room, sh

Bella’s povI watched Grace's expression change from calm to panic and then to hysteria. She screamed, denying being the culprit, claiming ignorance. The girl before me, who had seemed somewhat shy and quiet in my impression, now appeared completely different. What drove her to commit such a terrible act, transforming herself into an ugly face?The guests were dispersed, and soldiers forced Grace to kneel. After her outburst, she fell silent."Grace, everything you've done is known to us.""Your Majesty, I don't know what you're talking about. You've got the wrong person," Grace regained her confidence."Forcibly denying won't save you from punishment.""Do you have any evidence?" Grace believed her plan was flawless. She had concealed the powder in her ring, and who would suspect this seemingly ordinary piece of jewelry? She was absolutely confident that she was a genius, and as long as no one found evidence, she couldn't be convicted. "Your Majesty, maybe the real killer is right be

The Third Person’s povGray's consciousness began to blur; his body felt hot, and his inner desires urged him to approach Bella lying on the bed. However, the remnants of his sanity told him not to do so.The effects of the drug were strong, and he even started to experience some hallucinations, seeing Bella waving at him."Gray, come here," the imaginary Bella smiled at him."Gray, I need you," Bella extended a hand, inviting him.Gray shook his head, forcing himself to ignore it all. He told himself that everything was fake, just his own imagination, not real at all.Being locked in here with Bella undoubtedly meant someone had a plan to entangle them in a scandal. He couldn't let that person succeed.In a haze of consciousness, he took out a dagger and cut his own arm, giving himself a moment of clarity.How to solve the current dilemma? What should he do?Scream to attract someone? Gray dismissed this option; it would ruin Bella's reputation. If the guests outside saw him alone wi

Bella’s povI hadn't been feeling comfortable lately. I found myself easily getting tired and falling asleep. Perhaps it was because I had been spending a lot of time preparing for the annual ball. Anyway, today was the day of the ball, and after it was over, I could finally take a good rest.As night fell, Haydn and I entered the banquet venue hand in hand. The guests were numerous, and after welcoming some people together, Haydn and I separated to greet our own guests."Bella, if you're tired, go rest in the room next to the banquet hall. Don't push yourself," Haydn told me before leaving."Alright, I understand."I took a glass of wine and sipped it lightly."Your Highness, you looked truly beautiful tonight," said Grace. She was wearing a dark green dress today and had a somewhat unique ring on."Thank you. Grace, your dress tonight suited you well, and your ring is quite special." Grace's expression stiffened, and she instinctively tried to pull back her hand but restrained herse
