DESIRED BY MY LYCAN EX AND THE BETA Chapter 33:
Bella's pov I had convinced myself that knowing the truth about Adrian’s past would calm me, that having his confession would finally free me from the gnawing questions in my heart. But I was wrong.Knowing her name, knowing the weight Sofia carried in Adrian’s life, only made me restless. She was no longer an invisible shadow in my mind—she was real. She had called me, spoken my name, and hinted at truths that Adrian hadn’t told me.And now, as I sat at the edge of our bed days later, staring at the city lights flickering in the distance, I felt like I was living with a ghost that refused to stay buried.---A Knock at the DoorIt was late afternoon when the knock came. A soft, hesitant sound against the heavy wood of our penthouse door. Adrian was still at work, so I thought nothing of answering it.When I opened the door, my breath caught in my throat.There she was. Sofia.I recognized her immediately, though we had never met face-to-face. She looked just like the woman in the ph

Bella's pov If someone had told me months ago that my life would look like this—standing in the middle of a storm made of secrets, lies, and tangled emotions—I would’ve laughed and told them they were watching too many soap operas. But here I was, no longer the same Bella who once believed that love was simple and life was predictable. My marriage, my heart, and even my sense of self had been tested in ways I never imagined.And tonight, as I stared out the wide glass windows of Adrian’s penthouse, watching the city lights blink like restless stars, I knew something inside me had shifted again. The world outside sparkled with energy, yet deep inside, I carried a heaviness that felt impossible to put down.Adrian had just left for an urgent meeting. His words—“I’ll be back soon, don’t wait up”—still lingered in my ears. But I knew better than to believe that soon meant anytime before midnight. Being married to a man like him meant I lived in a constant push-and-pull between love and d

Bella’s POVThe following morning dawned gray and heavy, clouds pressing low against the horizon like a warning from the heavens. I woke with my stomach tangled in knots, knowing this wasn’t just another day. Today was the day Adrian would reveal what he’d been keeping from me—the secrets that built walls between us, the truths he believed would drive me away.For once, he didn’t leave before sunrise. Instead, he sat in the chair by the window, his posture rigid, his gaze fixed somewhere far beyond the glass. He hadn’t moved when I stirred awake, hadn’t even blinked, as though the storm inside his head demanded all his attention.I pushed myself up, clutching the blanket to my chest. “You’ve been sitting there for hours, haven’t you?”His lips curved in a humorless smirk. “You’ve started reading me too well.”“I’ve been trying,” I admitted softly, “but you make it hard when you shut me out.”His eyes finally met mine, and something about the rawness there sent a shiver down my spine.

Bella’s POVThe door clicked shut behind Adrian, leaving the room unnervingly still. My heart thudded heavily in my chest, each beat echoing the fear and uncertainty that clung to me like a second skin.He’d said he would come back. He’d said always.But the way his jaw had clenched, the steel in his voice, told me there was no guarantee.I sank onto the edge of the bed, my hands trembling against the cool sheets. I hated this feeling—this helplessness. Sitting here while he walked into danger wasn’t in my nature. And yet, I didn’t even know what kind of danger he was facing, or from whom.My mind spun with unanswered questions. Who were his enemies? What did they want from him? And why did I feel like I was just scratching the surface of a truth far darker than I could imagine?A knock at the door jolted me out of my thoughts.“Bella?” A familiar voice called softly. It was Marianne, one of the house staff who had been assigned to help me since the marriage. She always carried hersel

Bella’s POVThe morning sunlight spilled softly through the curtains, painting golden streaks across the bedroom walls. I blinked against the light, a yawn slipping from my lips as I stretched beneath the silken sheets. For a moment, I almost forgot where I was—forgot the whirlwind that had become my life. But then I turned, and my gaze landed on him.Adrian.He was sitting on the edge of the bed, his head bowed slightly as though the weight of the world rested on his shoulders. His dark hair fell messily over his forehead, and his strong hands rested on his knees. He hadn’t noticed I was awake yet, which gave me a rare chance to observe him. To really see him without the guarded mask he often wore.Something about the way he sat there—so still, so pensive—made my heart ache.I pushed myself up, my voice soft, tentative. “Couldn’t sleep?”He startled slightly, then turned toward me. His eyes, stormy and unreadable, softened just enough when they met mine. “Didn’t want to wake you.”“Y

Bella's pov There’s a certain kind of silence that feels louder than any scream. That was the silence between Daniel and me after I confronted him. He stood there, pale and unflinching, while my heart shattered piece by piece.“Say something,” I whispered. My voice was brittle, stretched thin with exhaustion. “Please, Daniel. Tell me Christine’s lying. Tell me she’s trying to tear us apart.”But he didn’t. He just closed his eyes, as if the truth itself was a storm battering him from the inside.I didn’t wait for him to speak. I couldn’t. My chest felt too tight, and if I stood there any longer, I knew I would suffocate. So, I did the only thing I could. I turned and walked away.---I didn’t go far. Just to the guest room down the hall. A childish move, maybe, but I needed distance—space to think.Lying awake in that unfamiliar bed, I replayed Christine’s words: Ask him whose blood paid for it.Was it true? Had everything Daniel built—the empire, the wealth, the security he wrapped
