~Nathan’s POVI laid on my bed thinking of what had happened to me earlier. Does this have anything to do with Isabella? It seems odd that I experienced this after rejecting my mate and she went missing.I thought to myself unsure of what was wrong with me. “Never will I accept Isabella as my mate. I just need to take her off my mind and rest,” I said to myself.I closed my eyes and slept off.***“Good morning, Alpha Nathan.” Jones said as he came into my room, bowing slightly.I was already awake feeling much better. I already had my bath and was going through my wardrobe to put on some clothes.“Morning, Jones.” I replied to him.“I knew I had no meeting with the members of the council today, so why are you here?” I asked him.“I came to check up on you and I can see that you are good.” He said.“As you can see, I’m fine without a doctor. I told you that I just needed to rest.” I said smiling.He laughed and just then a maid came in to inform me about the presence of Claire in th

Nathan’s POVI sat up on my bed to hear about my test results. Jones was also in the room when Dr. Lucas arrived with the result. He handed the white paper to me, and as I glanced at it, I was unable to comprehend what was written, except for the words "positive" and "negative."Confused and frustrated, I turned to Dr. Lucas and asked him to explain the test results to me. He informed me that all the results indicated I was medically fit."Medically fit? But I collapsed," I exclaimed, a mix of anger and bewilderment in my voice as I stood up from my bed.My gaze shifted to Jones, who had insisted on bringing the doctor. I directed my anger towards him, raising my voice, "Didn't I say that I don't need a doctor? He was unable to find out what's wrong with me, claiming I'm medically fit."Jones quickly apologized, bowing his head. Dr. Lucas, on the other hand, went on his knees, seeking my forgiveness."Your Majesty, Dr. Lucas is the pack's doctor, and he has been in this profession for

Nathan's povThe night had been an unrelenting torment, with the doctor's ominous words reverberating through my thoughts like a relentless drumbeat. My body tossed and turned as if in defiance of the news, but rest remained an elusive shadow. Each time I closed my eyes, Isabella's absence haunted me. The thought of someone like Damien finding her before I did and finding out she is my mate chased me out of bed more times than I could count. And by morning, I had worn a hole in the carpet with my constant pacing.The first rays of dawn crept through my window, casting a dim light that seemed almost mocking in its intrusion. I lay on my bed, eyes fixated on the ceiling, mind racing, and heart heavy with uncertainty. I needed to find Isabella, and I needed to do that as soon as possible before I had another attack.A knock on the door interrupted my inner musings, and I snapped to attention, my heart racing with anticipation. It was Jones, probably to give me an update on the search for

~ Nathan’s POVI returned to my room angry and fuming. I was relentless as I paced up and down my room thinking hard about what to do next. Just then, I heard a knock at the door. I glared at the closed door and yelled at whoever was at the door to enter only if he or she had something important to say to me.Jones came in, he bowed slightly and then informed me that he had stopped the search on Isabella’s, just as I had asked.“Good. You should head home and get some rest. You've been searching for Bella for the past few weeks as well as attending to pack matters with me,” I said, softly.“Yes, Your Majesty. But if I may, I'd like to ask that you think about this very well. If you have another attack or become weaker, the same members of the council you're listening to will be the first people to go after you,” he said.“Enough, Jones," I glowered at him.“I’m strong and active and if you keep on saying shit about me being weak, I will take it that you are after my position and trea

~Nathan’s POVI hurriedly moved closer to Claire and checked her pulse. I let out a huge sigh of relief when I found it beating fast and strong. I lifted her up, carried her over to my bed, placed her on it and quickly called in one of the maids to get me Dr Lucas immediately. I checked on Claire's every second while waiting for the doctor’s arrival. Lucas knocked on my door and I quickly ordered him to come in. I told him to quickly take a look at Claire to see what was wrong.I explained how I had pushed her against the wall which made her lose consciousness.He moved closer to check on Claire and I took my phone to dial Jones' number. I ordered him to come to the palace immediately as I couldn’t explain what happened on the phone.I turned back to see what Lucas was up to. I approached him asking if everything was okay with Claire.“She is okay, right?” I asked him.He nodded and then he moved on to check her pulse. I sighed in relief when he told me she was okay. “Why is she not

~ Isabella’s POVIt was extremely late by the time I was able to complete my tasks in the kitchen. I had been under Lillian’s supervision and she had taken great pleasure in nitpicking on every little mistake I made. And even when I had completed a task successfully and perfectly, she still found reasons to berate and belittle me. I retired to my room looking half-dead. My body felt limp but painfully protested against what I had put it through both in the morning and after. Despite all she had put me through that day, I had been immensely grateful to Lillian when she had volunteered to serve Damien his meal that night. I knew she had only done that to prevent me from getting closer to Damien, but I couldn't find it in me to care. By then, I was completely convinced that I had pledged myself in marriage to a cruel and ruthless monster. I wished with everything in me that Alpha Damien would fall for Lilian's wiles and divert his attention to her. The thought of that happening brought

~Isabella’s POVAlpha Damien rose to his feet and began to give a speech. I paid no attention to his words, but I heard him saying some sanctimonious bullshit like 'continuity of the pack', 'most powerful pack' and 'peace and progress for all'How on earth has his pack members not revolted against him already? Ever since I got here, I have not noticed a single pack member who looked unsettled with what he's been doing. Even the Luna, although she looked a bit scared of him, seems to be just taking him, taking another wife in stride.He eventually finished his speech and sat down. They waited until he picked up his fork and spoon before also picking up theirs.I watched as everyone started eating but I couldn’t even pick up my culinary utensils as I thought about how I was going to survive in the palace. From the looks on their faces, I wasn't certain every member of the pack was happy about or understood why the Alpha had decided to marry me, but none of them could see what I was goin

~Nathan’s POV“Will you explain what is happening right now, Claire?” I asked as I turned to Claire.Jones was still dazed and quickly collected himself when he heard my voice. He quickly sends Dr Lucas so that he won’t know what was going and with a bow, Lucas exits the room. Claire was still silent and then I shouted at her, “Explain what exactly is going on now!” She flinched back and then took to her knees begging for my forgiveness.“You still haven’t told me what I wanted to hear,” I said angrily.“I need answers to what Dr Lucas said!” I added.“I’m sorry, Your Majesty.” She said crying.She explained to me that had been in love with me ever since she was young but then she eventually found her mate a few months ago. Her mate was a wealthy man and from a neighboring pack and her father was so interested in his money that he hurriedly sent her to her mate’s house without a proper wedding.She wept as she continued, saying that her mate was a ruthless and wicked man. He always

~ 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
