☆ Thanks for reading. I would love it if you could spare a diamond for me. ◇
Chad's POV As soon as I realized the purpose of those fireworks, I felt my blood boil. Hudson and Holloway were mocking me on my own turf. They think they can disrespect me and my woman and get away with it. If a war starts all over again, be it, but tonight, both of their intestines will air dry in my fists. I ran towards the offending bastards with a single purpose: to rip them both apart. I was seeing red. "Kill them!" Cobalt snarled. My aura pushed away every guard who tried to stop me, making them crash against the walls as I passed like a blur between them. They were in the garden just outside the lounge room. Holloway was the first to lunge at me. I punched him in the jaw, making him fly out with a powerful impact. Arona moved Swiftly away, avoiding Holloway by an inch. Another woman screeched. "Don't abuse your status as the Lycan King! You're attacking my guests!!" Hudson Growled, but I was past any sense of reasoning. Jasper Holloway took advantage of my distraction and
Bella's POV I felt Chad tensing at my question. We entered his room, and I heard some noises coming from mine. Chad kissed my temple. "I always treat you the same." He said, sounding hoarse. Something crashes in my room next door, making me startle. "Relax, it must be Rose. Once I mark you, you will have my pack's mind-link, and you will be able to communicate with every pack member." He put me on the bed, and I sat on the edge. He kneeled down to undo my shoes' straps. My breath caught in my throat. I would never get used to the Lycan king kneeling to me. Chad locked eyes with me, and I felt myself drown in them. "Your irises," I said. "They change color sometimes." "Do they?" Chad asked without looking at me. He cleared his throat and concentrated on his task instead. He slid out my shoe and kissed the bottom of it, making me tickle. My toenails were painted pale pink, and he stared at them. "I like them." He said as he slid off the other shoe. He kissed the inner side of my
Chad's POV Bella followed me through the cold hallways in my underground lair. I tried to help her down the steep stairs, but she wouldn't let me. My heart clenched. I don't know if I was leading her to the beginning of my own doom by taking her to meet Hendrick. I was still mad at Cobalt. I blocked him from my thoughts as punishment, but I could feel how sorry he was. "Watch your step, my love." I urged her, but she just glanced at me. I felt another pang in my heart. I had to tell her the truth and vowed never to lie again. Dr. Strauss had mindlinked me. Hendrick was in the middle of one of his crises. I ordered Dr. Strauss not to sedate him. Bella needs to see everything. We were almost there when we heard Hendrick's ferocious snarl. Bella jumped. "This way," I said, grabbing her hand. She took my hand this time and followed me. When I opened the door, Dr Strauss vowed. "My King! Luna Bella. The Prince must have experienced something stressful that made him relapse once ag
Bella's POV When I saw Hendrick inside that cold cell-like cage, my heart pang sent a wave of nauseating dread to my stomach. It was like looking at two water droplets. I got closer and couldn't help but reach out to cup his face. It was as if he was my Chad in that heart-wrenching state. When he rubbed his face on my palm, and I didn't feel the sparks, I knew he wasn't Chad. Back in our room, I hug Chad, and I cannot stop the well of tears from falling like a cascade. I know I'm drenching his shirt, but I can't bear to let go of him. The witch and the werewolf that caused him and his brother to be cursed were my parents. I know it. I feel it in my gut. It all matches. My family owes an unrepayable debt to Chad and his family. I promise Chad that I will find a cure. These are not empty promises. I have the means to do it. I don't confess to Chad that I am a product of the couple that brought this tragedy upon his family. I'm afraid he would hate me. He stares into my eyes as I k
Braxten's POV Arona had ordered me not to go near her guests tonight, but I was never good at following orders. I heard a commotion, and I decided to investigate. They had been at it for a while, it seemed, because I had only arrived after the aftermath. A man burst through the door, dragging a pregnant woman while yelling profanities at her. I followed them out of concern for the woman. I stayed hidden behind the shadows but had a clear view of them. The woman dug her claws into his arm, making him stop abruptly. "Are you fucking insane!!" He snarled. "I will spill everything, Jasper. I have been way too patient with you!" The woman seethed. She was berserk. "Don't you dare, or I'll make sure your child doesn't see the light of day!" He seethed. "Why Jasper? Why are you like this to me?! How can you not feel anything for me?! " she bellowed. The man's face turned furious, and he dragged her further into the shadows. The moonlight shone on his face, and recognition struck
Chad's POV Her body was glistening as she bounced up and down on my lap. Just like in my fantasies. She licked her plushy lips, almost sending me over the edge. I felt my fangs coming down. The desire to mark her was overwhelming. 'Down stupid Cobalt!' I growled. He grunted but obeyed. "Don't stop!" My voice came out sounding more beast than human. She bit her pillowy lip and complied. The bouncing of her full breasts had me mesmerized. I licked my lips, just looking at her pale nipples. "Fuck!" I grunted for the umpteenth time. "You wrap so good around my cock, ma chérie! I'm dying to feel those sweet nipples around my tongue." My little temptress moaned in response. She smelled divine, sweet, peaches and cream. I was almost there. I thrust inside her from below repeatedly. "Look at how my cock is stretching out your pretty pussy sweetheart. Fuck Bella, you're mine!" I said through raggedy pants. "Mine to spoil and mine to fuck senseless every night." She smiled at me dreamily.
Bella's POV I woke up to a furnace against my back. I tried to move, but a pair of strong arms kept me in place. Chad's tattooed arm was wrapped around me like a vice. I didn't want to wake him up. Being in his arms was everything. The soreness between my thighs reminded me of what had transpired last night. I had never experienced something so exhilarating and kinky in my life. I giggled to myself. "What devilish deed did you remember that made you giggle, little Minx?" Chad's husky whisper against my nape made me shiver, awakening my ever-present desire for him all over again. "I was thinking about how good it felt to have you tied up and at my mercy," I replied playfully. A low growl rumbled in his chest. "I can't wait for the day I get to tie you up on my bed and have my way with you all night long, my Queen." He said huskily, turning me over to face him. I was still wearing his shirt. One of my shoulders was completely exposed. His eyes flashed with desire. My eyes met w
Chad's POV The crowd went silent, and we all looked at the woman who uttered those words. Is she talking about me? But Bella had rejected Holloway before I made my move. She stepped closer with a hand resting on her protuberant belly. None other than Saidie Mallory, Holloway's lover. I looked around, and sure enough, Holloway was close by. "What do you mean by that, Ms. Sadie?" Arona asked. Well, this looks like another ill-conceived plan of the Holloway-Hudson combo. I put my arm around Bella, sensing her displeasure towards her former friend. "You are all so prompt to judge Princess Arona when she was only defending her country and people, but Luna Bella Lockwood is not the angel she pretends to be. I know her well, having grown up with her my whole life. Your beloved Luna stole my mate!! I am Alpha Jasper's true mate!" Sadie Mallory choked on a sob. What a bitch! "You will not come to my doorstep and slander my woman, Ms. Mallory! Out of consideration for your pregnant stat
The pain is agonizing. It burns in my chest, travels through my insides, and suffocates me until I can barely breathe. This feeling is brutal, gut-wrenching; it's torture—she's gone. My mate is gone, and I'm left behind, unable to do anything about it. I pace back and forth in the hospital's private
Bella's POV After I showered an hour later, the maids, whom I now knew as Alyssa and Lana, helped me into a breathtaking Thalia dress. The metallic color added to its beauty, but Chad consumed my thoughts. I let them do my hair and makeup, feeling like a mannequin. They hardly spoke to me, only as
Bella's POV Balzaree Everything is dark. I don’t know how long I’ve been unconscious. My body isn’t responding, but I can hear everything around me. What did Camilla do to me? And what did I do to Chad? My stomach plummeted as I remembered what I had done. Oh Goddess, Chad! Gut-wrenching pain co
An uneasiness creeps into my gut as I tug at my shirt's collar for the umpteenth time. Dane looks at me, and knowing me too well, he senses something is wrong with me. "Don't tell me you're nervous. This is just the legal union. She's been yours since the moment you saw her at that cavern." He pad
"I'm just glad you liked them," I said with a smile. We continued getting ready, and the room filled with laughter and warmth. They were ready before me when Elise suddenly said she was getting contractions. "Oh no, no, no! Baby, not today. Today is your aunty Bella's big day!" Elise whimpered.
Bella's POV I wake up from a long sleep, sitting up abruptly. “Chad!” I exclaim. He stirs beside me and wraps his arms around my waist. “Today is the wedding! I have so many things to do!” He simply tightens his hold. “Come back to bed, ma chérie,” he says in that husky voice that always makes m
Hudson's POV Arona flinches as I throw another crystal vase against the wall. Since my return, she has not been any help. I can see her struggling to hold back the urge to say, "I told you so," but she knows better than to provoke me when I'm in this fucking mood. Camilla glances at me and sighs.
Hendrick's POV I entered the room as soon as Chad left. The air still reeked of sex, and I felt a sharp sting of jealousy. Lycans have a much stronger sense of smell than wolves. I felt Bella's scent as I approached the bed—she smells exquisite. That natural aroma of hers calms both me and Chaos.
**Bella's POV** After Dane shared the great news, I got up from Chad's lap and placed the plate of food on the table. I had been so hungry earlier. Although I usually don’t eat much meat, I felt like I could eat everything on the table. Chad had been feeding me tiny bites when Dane walked in, and
