ログインBella’s POVWhen I reached the pack house, I was already sobbing so hard that I could barely see where I was going. My legs felt weak beneath me, and every breath came out broken and uneven, as if my body had forgotten how to function properly after everything that had happened tonight.Ronald spotted me the moment I stepped into the yard.He rushed toward me without hesitation, his expression turning alarmed the second he saw my face. Before I could even try to speak, my knees gave out beneath me, and I felt the ground rush up too fast.He caught me before I could fall.“Bella, what is going on?” he asked, his voice tight with worry as he lifted me from the ground as if I weighed nothing at all.I did not have the strength to protest. My body felt heavy and useless, like all the energy had drained out of me. I let him carry me inside, my head falling weakly against his shoulder while my tears soaked into his shirt.He carried me straight to my room and laid me carefully on the bed. T
Gideon’s POVI could not believe Bella had run away, leaving me alone in that room with the bloodsucker. The moment she disappeared through the broken doorway, anger and disbelief twisted inside my chest, making it harder to focus on the fight in front of me.Marcus did not give me time to think.He came at me again with terrifying speed, his fangs flashing as he aimed straight for my throat. I barely managed to block him, grabbing hold of his neck with both hands and jerking his head back before his teeth could sink into my skin. His strength shocked me. This vampire was unlike any opponent I had faced before. For the first time in my life, I found myself fighting someone I was not completely sure I could defeat.Before I could press my advantage, the sound of pounding footsteps echoed down the corridor.A group of vampires rushed into the room, their movements fast and coordinated as they spread out around us. The sight of them made my stomach tighten.“Fuck,” I muttered under my br
Bella’s POVMarco’s hand slid around the back of my neck, firm but controlled, and he pulled my mouth toward his before I could react. His lower lip brushed mine, and the closeness made my heart pound wildly in my chest.“I thought I was about to kiss you,” he murmured, his voice low and satisfied. “It turns out a little trickery is all it takes for you to be completely under my control.”His words sent a faint tremor through my body. I hated the way they made me feel trapped inside myself, aware of everything but unable to move freely. I remained motionless, like a puppet whose strings were held too tightly, my gaze locked onto him with an unnatural sense of fascination that I could not shake.He lifted his hand and gently touched my lips, keeping his face dangerously close to mine. The distance between us felt suffocating, thick with tension that made it harder to think clearly.“Time to release your vampire side, Bella.”“What?” I forced the word out, though my voice sounded weak a
Bella’s POVWe walked through the entire VIP section until we reached a door at the end of a long corridor. The music from the club faded into a dull thump behind us as Marcus opened the door and stepped aside, gesturing for me to go in first.I walked in cautiously, and the moment my eyes adjusted to the dim lighting, I gasped.There was a bed in the middle of the room.The sight of it made my stomach tighten with unease.Marcus closed the door behind him with a quiet click.“Don’t worry, Bella,” he said calmly. “We’re here just to talk.”He walked straight to a small bar set against the wall and poured himself a drink as if he owned the place.“Are you thirsty?” he asked, offering me a glass of wine.“Well, no, thanks,” I replied coldly. “I don’t accept drinks from strangers.”He chuckled softly at my response and drank the wine himself, emptying half the glass in one swallow.“If you’re not going to start talking,” I said firmly, “then I’m going to leave.”He sat down on the bed an
Bella’s POV“So, it was you?” I asked, my voice steady even though my heart pounded against my ribs.He smiled slowly, as if my recognition pleased him.“I’m glad our brief meeting is still in your memory,” he said in a dangerously sweet voice.At his words, the memory returned clearly. I remembered bumping into him one night at the club, the strange tension that had filled the air between us. He had looked like he wanted to say something back then, but before he could speak, Gideon had appeared, and this stranger had disappeared without a trace.“What are you thinking, beautiful?” he asked, lifting his hand as if to stroke my cheek.I stopped his wrist before his fingers could touch my skin.“Well,” I said coldly, holding his gaze, “what’s your game? Why are you doing this?”He chuckled, and the sound sent a chill through my body. He was as beautiful as he was dangerous, and there was no denying it. The way he looked at me made my skin prickle. There was hunger in his eyes, the kind
Bella’s POVWhen I got to the pack house, I found Elizabeth sitting in the back garden with a sandwich in her hands. The late afternoon sun cast a soft golden light over the grass, but there was nothing warm about the scene in front of me.Ronald stood a few steps away from her, keeping his distance as if he already knew how this was going to go.“Elizabeth,” I called, walking toward her.She did not react.She just sat there, staring straight ahead, slowly chewing her sandwich like nothing around her existed.A cold feeling settled in my chest.I moved closer and dropped to my knees in front of her, trying to catch her attention.“Elizabeth, are you okay?” I asked gently.She turned her head slowly and looked straight into my eyes. That was when I saw it clearly. Her eyes were empty, distant, like she was not fully there.She was in shock.Then, without breaking eye contact, she spoke.“He’s a vampire.”Her voice was flat, almost emotionless. She tilted her head slightly toward Ronal
Bella’s POVWhen I was about to open the door of my house, a chill ran down my body as a terrifying scream tore through the air. I froze instantly. I knew that scream. It was my sister.My heart pounding, I carefully opened the door and peeked inside. What I saw made my blood run cold. My sister wa
Bella’s POVI did not know if Gideon believed me, but he still told me not to go to a club alone again.“I won’t,” I said quietly.I told him to go to the hospital, but he refused without hesitation.“No,” he said flatly.I frowned.“If you don’t want to go to the hospital, then let me take care of
Bella’s POVRonald called my name.The moment he reached me, he pulled me into his arms. I did not fight it. Around us, members of my pack were crying openly, some on their knees, others holding each other in shock.This was all my fault.Two days passed, and I still had not left my room since I re
Bella’s POVI glared at him, my heart pounding as I finally tore myself out of his grip.“How dare you show your stupid face here after what you did?”I stepped back, putting distance between us. This asshole could not control me anymore.He looked different. Thinner. His face was pale, with dark c
