Bella's POVI was feeling as if my legs had abandoned me.As soon as the doctor called my name, all the ugly possibilities raced through my mind simultaneously. My palms went cold and my breathing became shallow, although each step was too heavy."I'm Bella," I managed to say, my voice barely audible.After studying me for a while the doctor pointed to a corner of the hall where no one was around. "Please come with me."I nodded silently.Behind me, I could feel Desmond's worried gaze following us, but neither of us spoke until we were far enough away from everyone else.The doctor closed his palms and slowly breathed out."I won't lie to you," he began gently. "The situation was serious when Alpha Xander arrived. He lost a significant amount of blood, but your quick response and the speed with which he was brought here made a tremendous difference."My heart slammed painfully against my chest wall."So..." I whispered, swallowing hard. Will he be alright?The Doctor's expression chan

Xander's POVAs I approached the door to the bedroom, all my instincts shouted that I was almost running out of time."Bella!"I slammed against the door with my shoulder.The wood burst inward with a deafening crash as several of my security guards rushed in behind me.The scene before me made my blood run cold.Bella was pressed flush against the wall, her face colorless as stone, her eyes blazing with fear. Justin, looking shocked, turned his head towards us, unbelieving all of a sudden, then furious."Bella, get behind me!" I shouted, moved across the room with all eagerness.With trembling legs, she hurried toward me, and the instant she reached my side, I instinctively pulled her behind my back. My wolf surged beneath my skin, every protective instinct taking over as I fixed my gaze on Justin.So it was you," I said in a low and dangerous tone.Justin let out a bitter laugh.“You were supposed to have stayed away”."I'll give you one chance," I warned, never taking my eyes off h

Bella's POVThe mansion had fallen into complete silence by the time I went to bed.Faintly, I heard the quiet ticking of the old clock on the wall and the silver pattern of the moonlight that pervaded my room stretched across the polished wooden floor. I lay under the blankets with closed eyes, willing to sleep, but my mind is not co-operating. With every thought that drifted off, Desmond returned and circled through my head.Andrew lied.Olivia confessed.Xander knows the truth.Every sentence struck a chord of pain with which one could always identify. I had already been in a world of delusion, thinking that the man I loved hated me for a month, only to find out that it wasn't true. The betrayal still stung, but somehow the truth hurt even more because it reminded me that things might have been different if only Xander had trusted me.I turned to my side and pinned a pillow to my chest, taking a slow, shaky breath."Stop thinking about him, Bella," I whispered to myself, closing my

Xander's POVNight had settled over Atlanta, wrapping the city in darkness, yet the lights from the towering buildings still glittered beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows of my mansion. I was alone in that room in the parlor with a whiskey glass that sat unmoving beside me. It had been hours, and I hadn't drunk one sip. It was supposed to be comforting to be in the quiet, inside the house, but it was just a reminder that everything was so empty.It had been a month since Bella walked out of my life.Thirty long days of endless searching had brought me nothing except disappointment. All the private detectives I convened, all the warriors I recruited, all the contacts I had were back with the same message: they could not find her. It was as though she had vanished from the face of the earth.I leaned forward, resting my elbows on my knees as I dragged both hands slowly across my face. I was exhausted, but not the kind that awaits me in my bed, but the type that desecends to a man's soul

Bella's POVThe atmosphere was as thick as a fog.I felt it the moment Justin's arm settled around my waist.I knew it when I noticed how Desmond's eyes narrowed.I could see it in his shoulders.Above all, I felt it in the silence afterwards.There was hushed silence for a few seconds.Justin looked between us curiously before his polite smile returned."Desmond, right?" he asked casually, extending his hand.Desmond looked at the extended arm and then finally shook it.His fist was clutched tight.Too firm.The type of shake with two men, neither which trusted the other.Yes," said Desmond in an even tone.Justin smiled.You've been mentioned once in a while by "Bella.I almost choked.Mentioned him?Not recently.Not quite in the sense Justin would have thought.For a second, Desmond looked at me and then back at Justin."Has she?" he asked.There was something about his voice that twisted my gut.Justin either didn't notice or chose to ignore it."Of course."His arm tightened sli

Bella's POVMy heart raced so hard that I felt every thump through my chest as I stood. The noises outside of me started to blend together – laughter from tourists, distant music heard from nearby restaurants, the chatter of conversation. It didn't feel real anymore.All I could see was Desmond.He stood several feet away, staring at me as if he had just seen a ghost rise from the dead. His face showed every sign of shock and for a split second we both froze.An entire month had passed since I left Atlanta.Since I walked away from Xander. Since my heart shattered into pieces I still hadn't managed to put back together.I swallowed hard and tried to steady my breathing. My palms were wet and my stomach clenched.Out of instinct, I glanced toward Justin. He was standing several yards away, speaking with a friend he had unexpectedly run into. Thankfully, he hadn't noticed anything yet.Part of me wanted to turn around and disappear before Desmond could reach me but my other part was si

My wolf remained restless inside me.Asma was totally oblivious to the storm she had just caused.She looked at me with happy, hopeful eyes."Don't you think I have a chance?" she asked softly.The question struck me so much that I wasn't expecting it to hit her quite as hard.A chance?With my mat

Bella's POV I blinked rapidly before letting out a shaky breath after realizing who it was."Asma," I muttered.But who else would knock like trying to break the door down?Another knock echoed through the apartment more louder.I rose to my feet and headed for the door.The moment I unlocked the

Bella's POVMy entire body was shaking.“I’m sorry… please…” I whispered, the words came out small. Weak. And Embarrassing.My hands pressed against his chest as if that could create distance, but it didn’t. He was too strong. Too still. The air around him felt heavy, his expensive cologne wrapping

Bella's POVMy entire body ached as I dragged my feet through the long hallway leading to my husband's chamber. Alpha Lucian. My hands trembled around the flowers I had picked myself from the garden earlier that morning. Their sweet scent mixed painfully with the smell of sweat still clinging to my
