Chapter 4
With tears in her eyes, Iris crawled her way to her clothe, slip it on before limping out of the room.
She wiped the tears and tried to act as if nothing happened, but she couldn’t hide her limp.
“Did you get a good fuck out of him?” She knew that voice.
She turned around to see Athena sneering at her.
“What do you want?” She snapped.
“I already told you to give up on my son and look for you own mate, the poor soul will be out there thinking he would be blessed with a chaste wolf.
“He won’t know you are here, busy throwing yourself at my son, like the whore you are.”
Iris tightened her fist, she so desperately want to hit this woman across her cheek, but she know Lucas so well.
He won't take it lightly with her.
"I won't stay here one more time and let you insult or walk over me," she turns around to leave, when Athena next word made her halt.
“You will be nothing but a mean for him to release all his pent-up desires, you can never be his mate.
“He would throw to the dogs once he finds his real mate, I would love to see you hold your head high then.”
The left corner of Athena’s lip lifts in a cynical smile, she walked away, making sure to bump her shoulder on Iris’s.
To say Iris was shocked would be an understatement, she picked up the hem of her dress, not minding the pain in between her leg, she ran the rest of the distance to her room.
She closed the door and walked to the mirror to stare at her reflection.
Undoubtedly, she was the most beautiful woman in Death crawler pack, and the most beautiful in the whole of Toronto.
"You will never be his mate," Athena voice rang in her ear
"Arrgg," the sound of the mirror shattering filled the room.
“I don’t care if he my mate or not, I will have him at all costs.’
She paced around the room, different thought running through her head.
’Lucas is mine, and mine alone. I will kill anyone that tries to get their claws on him or try to take him away from me,” her eyes turn black.
’Including you Athena,’ her chest heaved. ’I will kill you with my hand if I have to.’

BH hospital, Toronto.
’Some should get Doctor Bella, this patient is losing much blood,’ someone screamed from a ward.
The whole hospital seems to be in disarray, as different screams and yelling fill up the place. The rapid beeping of machine filled the ears of every individual waiting in the hallway.
While some were waiting to hear either good or bad news from the doctors, some were wailing so hard, with people trying to comfort them.
The sound of feet padding around the hall in a hurry became a normal thing to everyone on the hospital.
This has been going on for a week now, the doctors were doing their best to save as many as they were capable of saving.
’Where is doctor Bella?’ the same voice asked again.
’Kevin,’ Bella soft voice called. ’What is the matter?’ she asked.
’I have been trying to stop her bleeding for a while now, it just won’t stop,’ Kevin groan.
Bella moved to the patient side, she was about to say something, when her scent hit her.
She looked down at the patient, and knew at once that she is wolf, buy she couldn’t place what pack she belongs to.
’Leave us,’ she ordered.
’Are you sure? don’t you need our help with anything?’ Kevin narrowed his eyes at her.
’I will be fine Kevin, I can’t have the two of us here when there are others who would need your help,’ she stared at him.
’Go, I will be fine here,’ she assured him.
He threw his hand in the air, huffing.
’I can never win when it comes to you,’ he said with a pout, before walking out.
She smiled at his childishness and walked over to the door. Once she was sure he is gone, she shut the door tightly, before walking back to the wolf side.
’What is your name?’ Bella asked.
’Mira,’ she whispered.
’Okay Mira, I need you to tell me what happened?’ she asked.
’I don’t know, they were so fast and it was so sudden,’ Mira explained, a little out of breath.
’What do you mean?’ she frowned.
’They attacked our pack without any notice, we weren’t prepared for it, they were so brutal,’ she sobbed.
Bella pull her into a hug, comforting her.
’They killed both the old and young ones without sparing anyone, I was lucky enough to escape but not without sustaining this injury.’
’Why are you not healing?’ she looked down at the wound that still refuse to close up.
’I don’t know, I think they are using something on us, that is preventing us from healing.’
’I am going to inject you so you can sleep, while I run different test on you to know what they use to keep you from healing.’
Mira nod her head.
Bella moved away from her, and open a little door that was in the ward. She stepped in for a few minutes, before walking out with an injection in her hand.
''I don't have to assure you it won't hurt, because I know you won't even feel it,'' she stepped closer to Mira, pushing the tip of the needle into the side of her neck.
''When will I fall asleep?'' Mira asked.
''You should fall asleep right now,'' she stared down, and found her already sleeping.
She got to work, checking all her vitals, and examining the wound for traces of silver, but found none.
She drew a little blood out of her and tested it herself. She didn’t want to risk putting the humans in danger, by letting them know about her and her kind
The blood analyser pinged, and she pull out the sample, she drops a little on a clean slate, before placing it under the microscope.
What she saw made her jump away from it at once
“Cursed oil,” she whispers.
Chapter 5Bella prepared an antidote for Mira, she walked into her ward, and with utmost care, she injects it into her system.She watches as the wound begin to heal slowly, until the sound of her phone pulls away her attention.She stared at the screen, to see it was an unknown number. She ignores it at first, but the number called again.She answered it, getting ready to give the caller a piece of her mind, when a gruff voice begins to speak.She listened for a few minutes, her forehead creasing into worry line, her eyes grow wider by each minute, and her lip trembled.She finally pulled the phone away from her ear, her body still shaking. She looked at sleeping Mira once again, before walking out of the ward.She grabbed the first nurse she came across.“Where is Doctor Kevin?” She asked the nurse, who seem a little bit taken back by her behaviour.“He is in the emergency unit ma’
Chapter 6 “What are you talking about?” Kevin asked, his eyes widened. “I know this is so sudden, but I have prepared you for this kind of situation right from the start,” she stared at him. “You know that isn’t what I am talking about, Bella,” he stared back at her. “What will happen to us?” he asked. “How do you want me to cope?” “Kevin-,” “Don’t tell me you didn’t think about us when you made your decision?” “Kevin,” she whispered. “I’m so sorry.” “You have to understand that I don’t have a say in this matter,” she paused. “My hands are tied here.” “Don’t tell me you don’t have a choice. Everyone does,” Kevin yelled. “Kevin!” she snapped at him. “If I had a choice, I would choose to stay here, because I can’t bear to leave everything I have built for years. “But you have to believe me when I tell you I have no choice but to return home.” “Bella…” “I can only promise you that on
Chapter 7_EARLIER_“What news do you have for me?” Lucas asked, his eyes darted over the men in front of him.“Alpha-,” Carlos was saying when he was interrupted.“Don’t tell me you still haven’t caught this female rogue?” he glared at him.“No! I mean yes,” Carlos said.“We tried everything in our power to catch her, but it seems she just disappeared into thin air.”“What do you mean she disappeared?“I mean, we can’t find her anymore; her scent is gone, and her trails are dead. We can’t find anything that would make us know where she is or where to look for her.”“And you didn’t deem it fit to tell me what is going on?”“I am so sorry alpha, we wanted to see if she would show up again, so we didn’t want to give you unconfirmed news.”“When did you notice her trai
Chapter 8The slamming of the door made Lucas know that Iris already left his room, he rubs his hand over his face.His wolf had been acting weird since he woke up, he knew he was grumpy, but he couldn't place his finger on why he is so angry.Everything seems to offend him, he looked down at the speech for the opening of the new hotel and his eyes dimmed."What is wrong with you?" He snapped at his wolf.The stupid mutt snorted and continue with his rampage in his head. He shoves down all the documents on his table and turns away from it.He pulled on a black shirt and walked out of his bedroom, ignoring Cruz who was trying to catch up with him.His hand crossed at his back; he made his way down the spiralling staircase to the fifth floor of the castle.The guards pushed the door open, and he stepped out in a fast stride. The urge to shift surges through him and without waiting to take off his clothes, he starts
Chapter 9"What just happened?" Bella asked herself.She had no explanation except for the fact that everything that had been happening around her is crazy."We can't be mate," she blurted out. "This has to be a mistake.""And why is that?" He asked in an impeccable voice"Because..." She trails off.What excuse did she have aside from the fact that he was her sworn enemy, there was absolutely nothing she could use as an excuse."Because we are sworn, enemies?" Lucas inquired, raising his brows at her and she gasp."I know that already," he glared at her."And oh! Not once since you leave did, I forget what you did, nor will I ever forgive you for it.""Alpha?" Someone called behind him.He turns his head to see Ramos standing behind him, he looked conflicted as if he didn't know what to do at the moment."Why are you here?" He snapped at the man."Luna asked me to bring miss Bella to the pack
Chapter 10Athena stared into space; she couldn't get Bella's word out of her head. She had thought he hated her because she sent him away from the pack.What she didn't know is that he hated her before then._EARLIER_"You didn't know he hated you back then?" Bella had asked."I had no idea, I thought he hated me for sending him away," she exclaimed."I don't know what happened between the two of you, but I know Lucas hated you since he was a little boy.”"Did he tell you why he hated me?" Athena asked."He told me one night and that was the last time he ever mention it."What did he say?" She asked."He was angry because you did not even try to save him from his father's wrath," Bella began."As a young boy that was suffering so much, he wanted to feel loved, and he craved his mother's warmth. But he didn't get any of this from both his parents."And then you would get him dressed, saying swe
Chapter 11“How did she take it?” Landon asked when his wife walked into the house.Reina had tears in her eyes, she had been crying since she went to see Bella.She still remembers all her conversations with her.“What happened Reina, what did you say to each other?” Landon shook his wife who wouldn’t stop crying“What happened Reina!? Why are you crying?” His mind went blank at once, and terrible thoughts run through his mind.“Did something bad happen to her? Is she alright?” He roams her face, and she nods her head negatively.“Talk to me, what did you talk about and why are you crying?”Reina slipped to the ground; she clutches the hem of her dress tighter as her sob rack through her.“You are scaring me,” Landon muttered, he wanted to stop her from crying, but he didn’t even know what caused it.“She hates us,” Re
Chapter 12Bella pulled Elena close to her, engulfing her in her arm, and the two of them cried on each other's shoulder.She couldn't believe Elena will still be alive till today, she had seen first has the terrible thing the rogue did you her and everyone thought she would die.It was not one of the reason why she wanted to be a doctor all along."You are still alive?" Elena cried, and Bella shook her head on her shoulder."I am still alive," she sniffed."I can't believe I was in a coma for two years," she rasped. "I woke up a month after you left, and you can't imagine my surprise when I was told you left."What happened? Why did you leave?""It's a long story," Bella said, as the memories assault her all over."Good thing I have all the time in the world," Elena smiled.Bella pulled away from the hug, and stared at her."I can't believe you survived it," she cooed, her eyes glistening with new tears."I also didn
