The moment I laid eyes on Bella, I knew there was something special between us. I couldn't tear my gaze away from her.
Her black hair looked incredibly soft, and her rosy cheeks had a touch of sweetness that made me want to reach out and touch them. Instead of the usual billowing dresses that most she-wolves wore, she had opted for trousers, giving her a sleek, confident appearance.
In the grand hall, I watched as her mischievous eyes darted around, smiling at those she liked and becoming sombre in the presence of those she disliked. For thirty years, I'd never been so captivated by a girl's every move.
Even though Bella didn't wear a magical necklace, I just knew she was the mate I had been waiting for. My wolf, Aidan, was going wild in my head, trying to take control to meet Bella. But I couldn't allow him to do that; Aidan was too impulsive and might frighten our mate.
On the following night at the banquet, I took great care to dress up and wear the magical necklace. I thought Bella would appreciate it, and I planned to find the matching necklace to present to her personally.
As night fell and the banquet hall lit up, I searched for Bella's presence. I saw Alpha Logan, his wife, and their son, but Bella was nowhere to be found. Where had she gone?
I navigated through the crowd, trying to locate Bella. In a corner on the balcony, I spotted a familiar figure. I was about to approach when I noticed she wasn't alone. Beta Gray Norman from the Maple Pack was standing with her, and that annoying Gray seemed to be trying to charm my mate. He even leaned in close to whisper something in her ear.
I felt a surge of anger and jealousy. I clenched my fists, itching to confront him. In fact, I was about to do just that when I saw Bella kick Gray. It was an unexpected twist, and it seemed that my mate could defend herself.
I let out a laugh and followed Bella into the corridor and witnessed two other girls bullying her, attempting to summon soldiers to capture her. I couldn't allow that to happen; they NEEDED to face consequences.
"Your Majesty, this woman maliciously harmed my comrade. Please order the soldier to apprehend her," Olivia said, mistakenly thinking that I was accusing Bella of wrongdoing.
On the other hand, Clara, upon seeing the tall and handsome king, became smitten and gazed at me with adoration, hesitating to speak.
"You're lying," Bella said, her fists clenched in anger.
These two malicious women were trying to distort the truth. I couldn't let them succeed.
"Soldier, take these two individuals who falsely accused others and throw them into the dungeons."
Everyone in the hallway was shocked.
"Why us? You should punish this wretch!" Clara's sharp voice echoed in the corridor. She couldn't believe the king's words; hadn't he seen her injured?
"I witnessed both of you attacking Bella first, and she was merely defending herself," I said coldly, looking at these two individuals who didn't know their place. My soldiers weren't meant to be used like that.
"Your Majesty, I believe this is all a misunderstanding. We are friends with Bella, and we were just joking with her," Olivia stammered, she didn’t expect that the king had witnessed everything.
I remained silent and turned to Bella.
Bella frowned, "A joke? I've never heard that making fun of someone would land them in jail. Olivia, Clara, I'm not your friend."
"You wretch, how dare you treat us this way," Clara said, preparing to slap Bella.
"Take them to the dungeons," I immediately ordered, ensuring these two annoying troublemakers were removed from my sight.
"Your Majesty, please don't do this to us."
"Your Majesty, you can't do this to us. We are Alphas’ daughters."
I ignored their pleas and turned my gaze to Bella.
"Are you okay?" I asked.
"I'm fine. Thank you for coming to my rescue and setting the record straight," Bella sincerely thanked King Haydn.
"Not worth mentioning," I couldn't help but move closer to Bella. There was a certain fragrance about her, and I wanted to be closer to her, to smell her neck.
My gaze travelled from her bright, dark eyes to her petite nose and her inviting lips. She looked stunning today in her moonlight-colored dress, appearing graceful and delicate, as if she were the earthly representative of the moon goddess.
Suddenly, my eyes fixed on the silver-white necklace around her slender neck. Oh, goddess, it was the Magic Necklace.
"Mate," Aidan came out of my mind and took control of my body.
The word startled Bella.
Aidan swooped closer to Bella, grabbed her shoulders, and sniffed at her neck. He stretched out his tongue to lick Bella's ear, moved down inch by inch, and kissed Bella's neck.
Bella was surprised by Aidan's sudden words and behavior. She was held by Aidan's shoulders and felt the man's kisses and touches on her ears and neck, feeling extremely shy. Her legs were weak and she couldn't stand. A strong arm was placed around her waist to lift her up. Bella's whole body was leaning against Aidan's body. Aidan's body is bursting with muscles, hard and powerful, which is in contrast to Bella's soft body. Bella can feel the heat radiating from Aidan's body and the masculinity rushing towards her face due to his passion, and her heartbeat is fast. , this feeling is so amazing, she has never felt like this before.
"Stop, let me go." Bella struggled and protested.
Aidan, stop, you scared her.
No, she is my mate. She is mine.
She's afraid.
SHE IS MINE.
Aidan refused to relinquish control of my body, and I couldn't let him continue like this. I focused my concentration and strengthened my meditation. "No," Aidan roared in frustration, but I gained control back and returned to my body.
"Sorry, I lost control of my wolf," I wanted to release Bella, but she was unable to stand on her own and almost stumbled. In my haste, I held her close to me again.
"I heard 'Mate,'" Bella said, looking straight at me.
"Right, Bella, you are my mate."
"I find this impossible," Bella said, surprised, her eyes wide. "I've already lost two mates; how could I have a third chance mate?"
I took Bella's hand and placed it on my necklace. "The bond was created by the necklace."
Bella then noticed that the King was wearing a necklace similar to hers, with only a slight difference in the pendant design. Hers had a rose and a crown, while the King's had a sword and a crown.
"You have a necklace like mine!" Bella exclaimed, taking off her necklace and placing it next to the King's necklace. The two necklaces looked like a perfect match.
"They are paired," I said, and as the two necklaces touched, they suddenly radiated with a brilliant light.
"It's magic."
"Bella, did you feel anything?"
Bella still couldn't believe what was happening; she had just been given a third chance at a mate. It all felt like a dream, and she feared that she might wake up any moment. She was afraid that Haydn would be like Gray and Barnett, giving her hope only to let her down. She was afraid of falling into another trap. Could she trust the man before her?

Bella’s PovApril (my wolf): Have you sensed anything?Me: April, you've finally shown up!My wolf, April, hadn't spoken in a long time. Sometimes, I even felt like she was a mute wolf.

The Third Person’s PovThree Days LaterSlap!Henry Anderson, the Alpha of the Maple Pack, angrily slapped Olivia. "You're bringing shame upon me."Olivia clutched her swollen cheek and couldn't utter a word. Just this morning, she and Clara had been released from the cell. But her father's first words upon seeing her weren't words of concern; instead, they were filled with blame and humiliation."It's because of you that your mother couldn't give birth to a son and died early. And now you're ruining your own reputation, preventing yourself from marrying into a powerful pack." Henry's wife had passed away many years ago, leaving him with only Olivia as a daughter. But he treated Olivia poorly, subjecting her to physical abuse. He needed a son to inherit his alpha position, not a seemingly worthless daughter.It was ironic to Olivia that her father had had numerous affairs over the years, and not one woman could give him the son he so desired. He attributed the blame to Olivia, intendi

Bella’s PovKnock! Knock! Knock!I was awakened by the annoying sound of knocking, my consciousness not fully clear. Glancing at the alarm clock, I discovered it was only six o'clock in the morning. Who on earth was so inconsiderate to disturb my sleep? Don't they know that disrupting someone's peaceful slumber is incredibly impolite?"Who is it?" I groggily inquired."It's me." I found it highly unusual for Haydn to show up at my door so early in the morning."I am coming." Haydn's handsome face came into view as I opened the door, and I couldn't help but be taken aback by his striking appearance. His perfectly combed black hair sharply contrasted with his chiseled features. His strong jawline and high cheekbones exuded an air of authority.Haydn's brown eyes, while serious in expression, held a warmth uncommon for someone in his line of work. They were like deep pools of chocolate, drawing you in with an irresistible intensity.Dressed in a black military uniform, he stood tall and

Bella’s povI felt Haydn's gentle kiss fall on my forehead, then slide down to my lips and my neck. We tore at each other's clothes. His hands touched my body. Then, his kiss was no longer gentle but became a little hasty and violent.The clothes were quickly torn off and finally...Ring, ring, ring.The annoying ringtone interrupted my sweet dream.I was about to get up when I felt my underwear was soaked.Fuck! How could I dream about having sex with Haydn last night?I stretched out my hands to cover my burning cheeks. But Haydn was really sexy and charming in my dream, which was a little different from the gentle gentleman he usually was.I quickly ran to the bathroom to wash off the sticky feeling on my body.I started to miss Haydn like crazy. He had been to the border for three days and only three days I missed him so much. I thought that’s the reason I made the dream.I never knew that I could still have such kind of strong feelings after being betrayed by two men. And the feel

But our dear Bella has been dumped twice, becoming unwanted damaged goods. Hahaha," Theresa sarcastically remarked. She envied Bella for being born into a privileged position, whereas Theresa had to climb her way up step by step."Theresa, I advise you to show some respect in your words. Even if you become Barnett's Luna, you have no right to meddle in my affairs," I said coldly, staring at her.As soon as Theresa heard this, she became infuriated. "You bitch, how dare you lecture me!" She raised her hand to slap me.I grabbed her raised wrist, holding it firmly. "Enough!"Theresa struggled to free her wrist but couldn't match my strength. "Theresa, I warn you, don't act recklessly in front of me, or I'll make you pay."A hint of fear appeared on Theresa's face, her teeth biting down on her lip. But

Bella’s pov The dungeon was dark, with only a small window letting in a sliver of sunlight. I sat by the window, soaking in the precious sunlight. I had been locked away for a day and a night, with no one coming to see me, not even bringing food or water. Did they intend to starve me or let me die of thirst? It was truly despicable. From start to finish, I was convicted too easily, too quickly. I didn’t want to die, I didn’t want to be wrongly accused and lose my life in vain. My father and brothers were still fighting bloody battles on the border, and I hadn’t waited for Haydn to come back and tell him that I loved him. April: Bella, are you okay? Me: Yeah, I am okay. How about you? April: (depressed, lying down) No, I am not okay. Me: Hmm... let me tell you a joke. April: What joke? Me: We're still alive. April: Is that it? What kind of joke is that? April angrily scratched the ground with her two front paws. Me: Haha, April, you don't look cute sighing with your head

Haydn’s povHaving repelled a wave of rogues, the night grew darker, and my soldiers and I took a temporary rest in a town.About twenty to thirty rogues were causing havoc at the border this time. We managed to eliminate more than half of them, with only four or five escaping.In another day or two, we would be able to return to the royal city."Your Majesty, many townspeople here are injured. What should we do?" Logan Brown sought the king's advice."Distribute some of the potions we brought to them," I said after some thought.In the Celestia Kingdom, werewolves' injuries were treated with potions. We brought a batch of healing potions on this border expedition, but despite my anticipation of providing some to the injured civilians, the number of casualties surpassed expectations, and the potions were running low."Your Majesty, we've already allocated a batch of potions to the injured. If we distribute another batch..." Logan hesitated. There were still a few rogues at large, and

Aidan and I roared simultaneously.Aidan swiftly accelerated, rushing to knock that damn blade away, shielding Bella with his body. Only when Bella's warm hand caressed my fur that my anxiety begin to ease.Fortunately, she was still alive.But soon, I noticed her face and body were covered in wounds, weakened beyond measure. Damn it, who could have done this? My heart was filled with boundless anger and self-blame. Aidan was on the brink of exploding, and if it weren't for my lingering sanity, I felt he might have killed everyone present.Bella nestled against me, and she soon fainted. I took her to my bedroom, laying her on my bed. I had a doctor treat her, and her condition improved. The doctor suggested she needed a good night's sleep. I gently planted a kiss on her forehead, hoping for sweet dreams.And now, I

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.

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.

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,

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.

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 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?

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."
