“But alpha,” “Fuck it, Lucas, just do as I said,” I snapped, already getting pissed at his objections. “Yes, alpha,” Lucas replied, giving a quick bow. “Good, now leave.” I gave the last order waving his hands dismissively. Though I knew I could save myself the stress of getting into trouble with Blake or worst starting a war by simply handing her over to him, I felt this strange possessiveness taking over me. I own her and no one can take her from me. “David,” I called my gamma, David through mind-linking. “Alpha.” His voice came through. “Double security at the borders, we might expect an attack.” * Bella’s POV I leaned against the cabinet, placing my hand on my chest as I let out repeated heavy breaths. Shit, I shouldn’t have thought about eavesdropping, now he caught me. What was I thinking?! Eavesdropping on an alpha’s conversation with his brother, it’s forbidden! I grabbed my hair, pulling it tight as I let out a low groan, feeling disappointed in myself. It never
I left the bars and walked into the cell, moving to the end and plopping down on the floor. The floor and walls were cold and somewhat damp, the ugly memories streaming into my head as I stared around the cell. Though I know they did not bring me here to hurt, I could help the cold chills that ran down my spine.These place held so much terror filled memories and the last thing I want to do is spend more that a few hours here. It was completely dark, they must have switched off the only fluorescent light in the room. My heartbeat quickened at ever slightest sound in the room.I leaned back against the wall and pulled my knees up to my chest, wrapping my arms around myself. It was the only way I could shield myself from the cold. I really wish they left at least a blanket for me, but that was one impossible wish. They would never care about me. I shut my eyes tight and leaned my head on my knees, but regretted my actions immediately when every horrible past events of my stay here cam
Damien's POVI could only watch in silence as Linda kept ordering the nurses with her to get all the things she needed, the look of panic was evident on her face as they rushed her into the room.A feeling of disappointment washed over her when she turned around and glance at me with a look that held different unsaid words....how did this happen and I had no idea or control over myself?... I felt regret slowly seeping into me, why did I drink so much yesterday?..I thought that was the only way to stop himI walk to my office and leaned against the door, running my fingers through my hair exasperatedly. I'm not supposed to be bothered by this, but my emotions were failing me, I never liked her in the first place so her endangerment shouldn't be so disturbing to me. But the horrible sight of my room bathed in blood made me feel some kind of sympathy for her.I couldn't get the horrible image of her body lying on the ground unconsciously out of my head. Such terrifying sight. I tried t
A few minutes later I had stopped crying, Zoe helped clean the tears off my face since I couldn't raise my hands at all. I sniffed one last time, trying as much as possible to avoid her sympathetic gaze which might just make me burst out crying again."Hey." She called in a small voice, gently rubbing my shoulders. "Let me get you something to eat, you must be very hungry-""No, no. I'm fine." The last thing on my mind now was food. I just needed silence and nothing more."Bella," She called unsurely. I could tell there was something else in mind she had to say."What?""You've been out for six days, you must definitely need food." Was I surprised? No. That's what he's best at, torturing me badly till I'm out for days. I'm pretty used to hearing that already.I averted my gaze to the door when it creaked open and the familiar scent hit my nostrils even before she stepped into the room. Relief clouded her face immediately she spotted me. "Oh dear goddess." Linda rushed into the room, c
"Oh my God." I heard Zoe rush into the room, coming to kneel beside me. "Are you okay?" I close my eyes, letting out short heavy pants."Here, here. Let's get you back to bed." As gently as she could, Zoe helped me off the ground, and back to the bed. I placed my palm on my head, letting out a small whimper."Are you okay?""I'm... I'm... I need something, aspirin, maybe, just anything." I could barely talk due to so much pain around my body and head, damn that alpha!"Aspirin? Bella, they don't work on us?""Just get it!!" I yelled, feeling frustrated by her questions. I was completely out of temper, my blood boiling in rage, my fingers began to itch and I knew exactly what that means. I took my hands to my neck, gasping in shock when I didn't feel that metal shackle around my neck anymore. "Shit, where is it?" I needed something to calm me down, to calm her down."Where is what?" Zoe asked, looking quite confused."Just go, get the aspirin!!" I groaned out in pain, feeling a tingle
I woke up to someone opening the curtains, letting the light in. Sitting up, I squinted my eyes, using my palm to shield the bright light from piercing into my eyes. I looked up, removing my palm from my eyes when I heard footsteps walking toward me. The unfamiliar lady dressed in blue scrubs and white shoes, obviously a nurse. ....where is Linda? "You're up." Her voice was unfriendly, giving me the hint that she doesn't like attending to me. "Where is Linda?" I couldn't help but ask, looking around the white room. "I'm to attend to you, Linda is not available." Such a mean lady. I just nodded in reply, leaning back against the headboard. I tried to remember how I got here but the only thing I could remember was attacking Heather and the other girl before Damien knocked me out. Immediately, my hands flew up to my neck and a feeling of relief washed over me when I felt the shackle. I've always hated this but why do I feel so much relief having it? "How do you feel now? Do you feel
It's been twelve days since the incident and I think I'm fully healed. Well, except for the intense dizziness I feel recently. Damien was true to his word, and made me begin work immediately I was back on my feet. Thankfully the injuries were healed already, just that the scars were still there, reminding me of the horrible night. The most enjoyable part of the past few days was Zoe's and Linda's part. It wasn't really much and there was no difference at all. They made sure I made encounters with him every day, saying it would help reduce the hate he has for me. They said no matter how heartless or cruel he might be, he can't forever fight the mating pull, unless he rejects me. Those words feared me the most, though I've always wished he did, Linda made me understand how bad it would be for me. I would have to live with the stealer curse all my life and would never find anyone to love me, the hate from others would continue and such a frustrating situation might lead to death, that
No, no. It can't be possible. I paced around the room, feeling really petrified, I didn't want to think of what might happen if Damien ever finds out. There might be some progress in him liking me but this would ruin it completely! I wrapped my arms around myself, trying as much as possible not to burst out crying. What would I do? I can't even tell anyone?! How could I even forget?! I leaned against the wall, allowing a small cry to escape my lips. But he can't kill the child, can he? He'd be going against the moon goddess and that could bring great punishment on him. But once again, he shouldn't be underestimated. He could do the most unexpected things. I gently sat on the bed, rubbing a palm over my flat tummy. I couldn't believe there was life growing there. But this was risky, even if Damien doesn't let me get rid of it, am I really ready to bring a child into this world that has been nothing but cruel to me? Am I really ready to let an innocent child come face all the ha
