His Broken Vow Claimed Fire
Bella’s pulse stumbled the moment Dave Stark looked her way.There was nowhere left to hide.Slowly, she stepped out from behind the stone pillar near the entrance hall, her sneakers silent against the polished black tiles. Sweat clung to the back of her neck from the brutal workout she had forced herself through alone. Damp strands of hair stuck to her temples, and her oversized charcoal training shirt hung loosely over her leggings.Dave’s icy blue eyes swept over her from head to toe.Not casually.Carefully.Possessively.Like he was inspecting whether she had obeyed him even in his absence.And the worst part?Bella liked that look far more than she should have.Morgan leaned against the staircase railing with an amused grin. “Well, there she is.”Dave didn’t take his eyes off Bella. “People have started whispering,” he said coolly. “Apparently some think I’ve gotten soft.”Morgan snorted. “Who’s stupid enough to believe that?”Dave rolled the sleeves of his black compression shi
His Broken Vow Lost Battle
Bella froze behind the marble pillar the second Dave Stark’s gaze locked onto hers.It was impossible.There was no way he should have known she was standing there, half-hidden beside the towering indoor plant, clutching her water bottle like a criminal caught sneaking through forbidden territory.Yet those icy silver eyes landed directly on her.Sharp. Precise. Possessive.A slow smirk tugged at the corner of Dave’s mouth, and Bella’s stomach betrayed her with a violent flutter.He knew.Of course he knew.The man noticed everything.Morgan followed Dave’s line of sight before chuckling under his breath. “You know, for someone trying to hide, she’s remarkably terrible at it.”Bella immediately stepped out from behind the pillar with a mortified expression.“I wasn’t hiding,” she lied badly.Dave leaned one shoulder against the doorway, arms folded over his broad chest. Even dressed casually in charcoal training joggers and a fitted black compression shirt dampened slightly with sweat
His Broken Vow Shadow Heat
Bella had never hated silence this much before.The private training arena beneath the west wing of the Stark estate echoed with nothing except her uneven breathing and the faint hum of the overhead lights. Sweat soaked through the back of her fitted black shirt as she lay sprawled across the padded floor, chest rising and falling hard.Her muscles burned.Every inch of her body screamed at her to stop moving.And yet… she couldn’t stop thinking about him.Dave Stark.The cursed Hybrid King who had turned her life upside down the moment he dragged her into his world.Three weeks.For three brutal weeks, he had trained her without mercy.No softness.No praise.No sympathy.Only commands.Again.Faster.Harder.Focus.At first, Bella had wanted to throw a dumbbell at his arrogant head.Now?Now she hated how addicted she’d become to the routine.To him.The gym doors slid open with a low mechanical hiss.Bella’s heart reacted before her mind did.It skipped.She sat upright too fast, i
His Broken Vow Savage Instinct
Bella’s lungs burned.Every muscle in her body screamed for mercy as she staggered backward across the padded training floor, sweat clinging to her skin and soaking the collar of her black training shirt. Strands of damp hair had escaped her bun long ago, sticking to her flushed cheeks.And standing in front of her like a smug devil carved from temptation was Dave Stark.The Hybrid King barely looked winded.His dark compression shirt clung to his chest, outlining every hard ridge of muscle beneath it, while the sleeves stretched tightly around his forearms. Calm. Controlled. Dangerous.Bella hated how unfairly attractive he looked while torturing her.“Again,” Dave said smoothly.Her jaw dropped. “Again?”His mouth twitched slightly, almost amused. “You wanted combat training.”“This isn’t training,” she snapped breathlessly. “This is attempted murder.”A low chuckle escaped him.God.That sound alone should’ve been illegal.Dave uncapped another bottle of water, taking his time drin
His Broken Vow Iron Control
Dave Stark did not lose control.He had built an empire on restraint—on discipline so sharp it cut through instinct, emotion, and even the beast inside him. Royals like him didn’t slip. They calculated. They dominated. They endured.And yet, standing behind Bella in his private training hall, watching the slight tremble in her arms as she raised her fists toward the punching bag… control felt dangerously overrated.“Again,” he said, voice low, even.Bella exhaled, then threw another punch.It wasn’t perfect. Her stance wavered, her wrist angled slightly wrong—but there was something else there. Something raw. Something stubborn.Something that refused to break.Dave’s eyes darkened.“Don’t think. Feel it,” he instructed, stepping closer. “Your body already knows what to do. You’re the one slowing it down.”She shot him a quick look over her shoulder, breath uneven. “Easy for you to say.”A corner of his mouth twitched. “I didn’t say it was easy. I said it was necessary.”Bella turned
His Broken Vow Caged Fire
Bella didn’t argue again.Not because she agreed—but because something in Dave Stark’s silence warned her that pushing further tonight would only make things worse.They walked back through the towering iron gates of the Stark estate without another word. Gravel crunched underfoot, the sound too loud in the quiet, too sharp against the storm brewing inside her chest.His hand never left hers.That was the confusing part.Dave’s grip was firm—possessive, even—but not painful. Warm. Steady. Protective in a way his words never were.It didn’t match the cold tension in his jaw or the distant look in his eyes.Bella kept her gaze forward, refusing to look at him, refusing to acknowledge how her pulse betrayed her—how it leapt every time his thumb brushed unconsciously against her skin.This was dangerous.Not the forest.Not the rogue threats.Him.By the time they reached the mansion, Dave secured the gate himself, checking the lock twice like he didn’t trust anyone else with it. Then, wi
His Broken Vow Betrayal Runs Deep
A hush fell over the vast hall, thick with the scent of burning torches and the pressure of a thousand gazes. Bella remained frozen in the middle, her breath caught in her throat and her heart pounding like war drums against her chest. The experience was odd, resembling a distressing nightmare she
His Broken Vow Broken Blue Dreams
Bella Manuel faced the mirror, her fingers gliding across the smooth material of her blue gown. The shade accentuated the warm glow of her caramel skin, and for the first time in a long while, she felt lovely, unique, and worthy.Marcus would love it.A hidden smile curled her lips as she ran her f
His Broken Vow The Crown that Choose Her
Moonlight washed the clearing in cold silver as the Lycan emerged from the shadows.His massive frame moved with lethal grace, black fur catching the light until it gleamed like polished onyx. Bella gasped and scrambled for the clothes scattered near her, pressing the fabric to her chest as if it c
His Broken Vow Fault Lines
Lunch was usually loud—voices overlapping, laughter spilling, trays clattering—but the moment Bella took her seat at the Hybrids’ table, an unnatural stillness crept in.Joy and Eve sat beside her, shoulders tense, eyes alert. This was the first time they’d joined the table while Serena was present
