Chapter 84

Zach’s POV

I shouldn’t have listened. Yes, I knew I shouldn’t have listened but the moment she said she was a cop, something in me snapped into attention, sharp, cold, calculating. The kind of instinct that had kept me alive more times than I cared to admit.

  • Her Cold-Hearted Alpha’s Regret   Ninety

    Bella’s POVThe thought refused to leave my mind. I was thinking about Emerald. If I could strike there, if I could tear at the very heart of that place. It would be over faster than she had ever imagined. Cleaner and final, but there was a problem. A dangerous one is Livia.My jaw tightened as I paced the length of the dim corridor, my heels clicking sharply against the marble floor. The sound echoed like a ticking clock, each step reminding me that time was slipping, and Livia was always watching, listening, and always knowing.“How do I move,” I muttered under my breath, my voice low and venomous, “when every thought I have might not even be mine alone?” I stopped abruptly, my fingers curling into fists.Livia’s power was suffocating. Invisible chains wrapped around my every move, every plan I built felt exposed.Unless there's something I could do to prevent her from reading my mind. My lips slowly curved into a cold smile as an idea popped into my mind.“The healer,” I muttered

    Livia’s POVI paced around with anger visibly in me. It is all madness. A pure, suffocating madness that I'm finding difficult to comprehend.“What do you mean, Bella has gotten too smart?” I snapped, pacing the room like a caged animal. “She’s always been cunning, Alexa. Always add that's not new.”Alexa stood by the window, her arms folded tightly across her chest, her eyes scanning the darkness outside as though danger itself lurked between the trees.“This is different, Livia,” she said quietly, but there was an edge in her voice that made my stomach twist. “This isn’t just her being manipulative. This is calculated and strategic.”I could see the seriousness in Alexa's face as she said those words.I let out a sharp, humorless laugh. “Strategic? Bella? Please…” I said nonchalantly.“She’s recruiting,” Alexa said and my steps halted. The silence that followed was deafening.“What?” I whispered. Alexa turned to face me fully now, her expression grave. “She’s trying to coerce wolve

    Chapter 87Bella’s POVA lot of thoughts were running through my mind as I paced in my room. I was restless, waiting for the call to come in.I have checked my phone minutes of times but no messages or calls have come in.“Why is she taking so long to call?” I muttered staring at the phone in my hand. ***The call finally came in just as I stood before the mirror, my fingers lingering over the slight swell of my stomach.“He’s in the car, ma’am.” the voice echoed from the other end.My lips curved, slow, deliberate, and dangerous.“Good,” I said quietly, my voice laced with satisfaction. “Keep your distance. I will handle the rest.” I ordered and the line went dead. I stood there for a moment, I didn’t move as I simply stared at my reflection, my eyes dark, calculating and alive with something almost unhinged. This was it as everything was finally aligning the way it should have from the beginning.“All I need…” I muttered, reaching for the small vial on the table, “ is control.”

I stepped inside the new destination I have chosen.My guard went in, preparing a place for me to sit.After sitting for some minutes without Perry arriving, I became angry at why he would be keeping me waiting.I brought out my phone and placed a call to him immediately.“Where are you and why are you keeping me waiting here?” I asked immediately he picked, my voice low but to draw attention, but firm. “I'm held down with an emergency to wickedly attend to in my quarter,” Perry's voice echoed on the phone.“And you could not call to let me know?” I added angrily, unable to keep my voice down.Perry wanted to give an explanation, but I have to get him up immediately. “No need for that, I'm coming to meet you right away,” I said and ended the call instantly.“Let's go,” I ordered my guards as I stood up to take my leave.***The drive to Perry’s quarters felt longer than usual. Not because of the distance but because of the stor

    Chapter 85Bella’s POVI didn’t even panic when I started noticing steps behind me. Yes, I never panicked because I thought I might not be the one being followed, but the moment I noticed the pattern. I knew something was wrong.I noted the same face twice in different places, the same footsteps echoing a second too late and my lips curled into something dangerous.“Zach…” I murmured under my breath, my voice soft but laced with cold amusement. “You really think you’re clever,” I muttered to myself with a faint smile as I leaned back in my seat, my eyes scanning the reflection in the tinted glass. I saw the man trailing me trying to look casual, but he wasn’t nearly as subtle as he thought. A shadow pretending to be invisible.“Sending someone after me?” I scoffed quietly. “That’s not just stupid, that’s insulting,” I said calmly.My fingers moved swiftly as I pulled out my phone and dialed a secure line. The call connected almost instantly.“Ma’am,” a deep voice answered.“I want e
