Bella's POV

The rest of the day passed more peacefully than I had imagined.

No accusations, no misunderstandings and no walls between us for the first time in what seemed to have been forever. Xander remained in his hospital bed while I stayed beside him, refusing to leave unless a nurse insisted he needed to rest or undergo another examination.

Even then, I never went far.

I would sit outside his room looking through the glass counting the minutes until I could creep back in.

    Xander's POVI thought the first attack had been the end of it.I was wrong.In the evening, the warning blew for the fourth time, and the pack just started to mend the breakage at the west entrance.Once.Twice.Then a third time.A noise could be heard by the pack.All the warriors paused their action.It was at an interval when I was standing by the training grounds, when Ethan came running toward me with his face turned pale."Alpha!"I turned sharply."What happened?"He was breathing hard."They're back."My stomach tightened."How many?"He gazed toward the hills to the west."Too many to count."My wolf rose instantly.I stepped onto the stone ledge above the entrance to the pack.I could not believe what I saw; my blood ran cold.The forest had dynamics to itself.Not with animals.With people.A crowd of hundreds of rogues was emerging from between the trees, their eyes twinkling under the waning sunlight. They surrounded several groups of bigger sized fighters and occupied

    Bella's POVThe following morning the animals were extremely quiet.After the attack at the eastern gate, Xander had doubled the patrols, but thankfully, there had been no further trouble during the night. By the time it got light in the morning the warriors had consolidated the territory and everyone was back to what they were used to doing.I woke up in the morning and found Xander already awake sitting by the window with his arms folded across his chest."You didn't sleep," I murmured.He turned toward me."I slept."I gave him a look."For how long?"He smiled slightly."Enough."I climbed out of bed and walked toward him."You need rest too, you know.""I know."He caught my hand and kissed my knuckles.That is why I wondered if we could get away from the pack today.I raised my brow."Where?""The woods."I stared at him."Again?"He laughed."Because we are not running away this time.He pulled me closer.I want you to train in a quiet place and I want you to bring the kids wit

    Bella's POVI woke up before the children that morning.I just stood there for a few seconds, I looked at the ceiling, at the light that was coming out through the curtain into the morning. The room was silent, and this time I didn't wake with the subtle apprehension that looms in my heart.I turned my head and looked at Xander's side of the bed.Empty.He must have already gone to the pack grounds.I smiled faintly. He was virtually impossible to keep at home now, on these days, when his gills told him something was amiss.I got up, freshened up, and went to check on the children. Ayra was still sleeping, and Aman somehow managed to create a tangled mess of his blanket around his legs.I laughed softly as I covered him again."You're going to wake up one day and find yourself sleeping on the floor," I whispered.He didn't move.I kissed his forehead before leaving.Downstairs, Laura and the other maids were already preparing breakfast. When they finally awoke, the house started to wh

    Xander's POVDays passed after the strange sighting at the southern border, but nothing else happened.The warriors searched the area thoroughly and found no sign of the stranger. I did increase the number of patrols but I wanted them to not live by fear once again.But Bella would not have gotten scared.Or perhaps she grew even more determined.She practiced every day morning.I was initially afraid that she was working too hard. After everything she had endured, I didn't want her exhausting herself just because she felt she needed to prove something.But Bella wouldn't listen.One morning before dawn I did find her in the training canopy.She had basic training gear on and her hair pulled back behind her head. Sweat glistened on her forehead as she practiced her movements with a wooden sword.I leaned on the fence.“You shouldn't be working.”She turned toward me.“Oh, it's supposed to be training.”“You have been around here since dawn.”"And?"I shook my head."You're stubborn."

    Xander's POVThree weeks passed peacefully.They continued the investigation in the background, but nothing else that could be noticed happened, and slowly everybody began to believe that the worst was over.I wanted to believe it, too!That morning, I woke before Bella and quietly left the bed. The house was still and the sun was just starting to poke its head through the curtains. I walked into the children's room and found Ayra and Aman sleeping peacefully.I smiled.To watch them sleep undisturbed, without ever being afraid, was still a miracle after what they'd been through.I closed the door gently and went downstairs.Laura was already cooking breakfast."Good morning, Alpha.""Morning, Laura."She smiled."The Luna asked me to remind you that the children have training today."I raised both brows."Training?"She explained that this is light training only, added more quickly. "Nothing strenuous."I nodded."Good."A few minutes later, Bella came downstairs.Her hair was pulled

    Xander's POVThe days went past after the incident at the ruins and I woke up no longer expecting something to suddenly go wrong for the first time in a very long time.I woke up in the morning and the sun was shining through our curtains, creating a warm glow on the floor. Still in bed beside me, Bella had her hair spreading across the pillow, and for several seconds, I just watched her breathe.Peace.Real peace.I hadn't realized how badly I had missed it until it finally returned.I quietly got out of bed and walked toward the children's room.The door was slightly open.Inside, Ayra and Aman were asleep together, their blankets tangled around them. They were very different from the little kids I had seen sobbing in fear just days before.I stood there for a moment, silently thanking Allah that they were safe.Aman suddenly moved."Dada?"I smiled."Go back to sleep."He opened one eye."Is it morning?""Almost."He immediately sat up."Then I'm hungry."I laughed quietly."Of cou

    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

    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
