Alpha Max's POV“You lied, didn't you?!” I growled, squeezing his jaw with so much intensity I could feel him straining to break free to avoid having a broken jaw. “She's getting worse!” I spat, tossing his head back, not caring if it hit the tree or not.“Alpha I swear! I didn't think she'd be injected with the real poison! I wouldn't dare hurt the Luna, please, believe me!” Jake begged but all for what? All his begs would not bring my Bella back, would it?“Don't bother begging me. Consider your title withdrawn and from now on, you and your whole generation are…” I was cut off by my wolf's painful tone which almost made me bend over and clench my heart in agony.“She's slipping away, Max,” he whispered. “We can't lose her. Not again,” he begged and despite my calm demeanor, sweats were forming on my forehead. I immediately knew science was useless at this point, and I had to find another way to save my mate.“I'll deal with you later,” I hissed at Jake and ordered some of my men to
Alpha Max’s POVI didn't know how long I was out but I found myself pushed to the bare ground by the water current. I opened my eyes, scanning my surroundings to know if I was in the afterlife or the mortal realm, and to my surprise, I was in the mortal realm.Did she not take my life to save Bella's?“Moon goddess?” I called out over and over again but no response was heard and it broke my heart to see that she deceived me. “At least she gave me a few moments to spend with my mate,” I sighed, grabbing myself up, changing into my wolf then dashing to the woods till I arrived at the hospital in my soaked attire.Arriving at Bella's room, I sat beside her, grabbing her hands and caressing them slowly. “I'd give my life for you, Bella. I just don't know why she wouldn't take it,” I sobbed, crying on my mate's hand. “Please don't leave me. I really can't do this without you,” I begged, silently praying to the Moon Goddess to also perform a miracle but I waited for five minutes, ten minu
~Isabella~ A few months later… “Max stop. We're going to be late for our own ceremony!” I begged, feeling a fire being ignited inside of me. “They should understand that their Alpha and Luna need some intimate time,” he responded, still planting kisses on every part of me that was bare. “Isn't that what the honeymoon is for? And again, we have a lot of time to have sex, why are you rushing?” I chuckled, closing my eyes as I felt him suck at a particular spot, a hickey already in the making. “Yes, according to her, we do have a lot of time to spend together now that we are forever bonded. But trust me, what you'd witness at our honeymoon or in the future is little compared to this,” he chuckled, and stopped, now standing behind me, making me feel how hard he is for me. “It's been so hard to control myself from having you, Isa. So get ready, tonight, you're mine to devour, your legs are to tremble and ache for me. Your lips are to pleasure me and your vocal cords, to sing my name o
Bella's POV"Ahhhh," I hissed as a sharp tree branch cut through my skin and clothes. I stopped running, examining my bleeding arm."There she is, catch her!" One of the men snarled and the whole rogue pack charged toward me.Fear gripped me, and I gritted my teeth, pushing forward, ignoring the sting of my injuries. In search of safety, I darted between the trees, their branches whipping past my face and it felt like even the whole forest was against me.The relentless pursuit of the rogue pack echoed behind me, their growls and snarls filling the air, the gap between us reducing with each passing second."Please, help me," I begged weakly but there was no reply whatsoever."I know you can hear me. Why aren't you helping me? Is it until I die? Until David, the rogue leader kills me? Is that what you're waiting for?" I shouted in my subconscious but she still didn't say anything.I glanced over my shoulder and caught a glimpse of David, a monstrous werewolf with fiery eyes and bared f
Bella's POV"He's our mate?" I asked my wolf again but she went mute and I groaned out in frustration.Finally, being able to walk, I noticed my injuries had healed and I scoffed, rolling my eyes at my wolf. "You healed me, just so you can spend time with him?”I crouched in front of the man and although I couldn't see his full face, his pale pink lips gave me butterflies."Sir? Are you alright?" I asked the man, sitting in the chair saying incoherent words. "I'd leave now. I'm sorry for bothering you."As I stood up to leave, I heard his voice, loud and clear. "Come to me," he said with a husky voice dripping with desire. Unable to defy him, I turned around like a good little girl. Kneeling in front of him, I closed my eyes, inhaling the beautiful scent around me, watching him deepen the connection with my wolf while I tried to figure out why I suddenly craved his touch.In a split second, my back was against the wall, his skin touching mine, and our faces, inches away. Before I
Bella's POVWith a gulp, I looked up to see him, the same man handsome from last night towering over me, holding me tight.The sun shining on his face made him look sexier. The way he shimmered under the sunlight, the way he stared into my eyes made my heart flutter. But the question was, how did he know where I live? How did he find me?Just as I was about to say something, someone pulled me out of his arms and yanked me with so much force, I hit the door with my back and hissed in pain."Hey Handsome, how may I help you?” Bris cupped his cheeks and asked, in a sweet tone that almost made me retch. With a swift move, he pushed her inside and she fell butt-first to the floor. "I'm here for her,” he said, coldly, not sparing Bris a glance."Who are you?" Sophia asked the man and the door and I hid myself hoping to run when he wasn't looking."Who are you? And why did you barge into my home?" Sophia roared, angrily. "Are you the one the buyer sent to pick her up?"Seeing as he didn't r
Bella's POVAs I stared at him and the file in my hands, my heart shattered into a million pieces. This man just dropped a bombshell on me. A marriage contract? How could this be happening?He didn't spare me a glance, "What does it look like? As you can see, it's a marriage contract."More tears welled up in my eyes, blurring my vision as I struggled to comprehend his words."B-but why?” I asked, my voice hoarse from crying.He didn't even bother to look at me as he replied, his words cutting through me like a knife. "You asked if I had a lover earlier right? Here's your answer. Yes, I do. Although she's indisposed at the moment. My mind raced, desperately trying to grasp the meaning behind his words. "What do you mean by she's indisposed at the moment?” I croaked."She's in a coma." He answered leaning back and closing his eyes. Confusion and anger swirled within me as I mustered the courage to confront him. "Then why are you taking me? Why won't you let me go?"But he remained sil
Bella's POV"You're pregnant, Luna. From what I can see, it seems you're carrying the future heir!" She said beaming with happiness. "No!" I chanted over and over again, trying to make sense of it. How can I be pregnant? Ever since I got here, I never had sex with Alpha Max, except that day when… Could it be as a result of that only night?"Shit!” I cursed inside me. How could I have let this happen? What am I going to tell Alpha Max? And the contract? Is it going to get terminated now?My heart began to thump loudly in my chest as I began to panic internally. Images of the last condition of the contract concerning pregnancy flashed in my mind and beads of sweat began to form on my forehead."Luna, you look pale and sweaty. Are you alright? If you are truly with a child, you need to take your health seriously.” the cook commented, worried. Not wanting her to add to my problems, I decided to make her think I'm sick instead. "I think I have a cold, that's why I'm pale and sweaty. To a
