The Weight of Wanting

last update publish date: 2026-02-05 15:31:35

Bella lay tucked against Dave Stark’s chest, the steady rhythm of his heartbeat anchoring her in the quiet after the storm. Dawn had not yet broken; the world outside the tall windows of the Stark estate remained wrapped in blue-black silence. This was the hour when truths surfaced—when masks slipped and honesty came unarmed.

“Would you really have left me alone,” Bella asked softly, “if I had been happy with Marcus… if he had chosen me?”

Dave didn’t answer immediately. His arm tightened around

  • His Broken Vow   Poisoned Reality

    The moment the words left his mouth, Dave knew Bella would never be the same again.Eve was dead.Not missing.Not injured.Dead.And the devastation that crossed Bella’s face nearly ripped him apart from the inside.She stumbled backward until the edge of the bed hit behind her knees. Slowly, she sat down like her body could no longer hold the weight of the truth.“No…” she whispered weakly.Dave hated that sound.That broken disbelief.Her trembling hands rose to cover her mouth as tears immediately gathered in her eyes.“No, Dave… no.” Her voice cracked harder. “Please tell me you’re lying.”He wished he could.God, he wished he could.But lies would only destroy her more later.Dave lowered his gaze briefly, jaw tight with helpless rage.“I’m sorry, Bella.”That was all it took.Bella shattered.A raw sob tore from her chest as tears streamed uncontrollably down her face. The sound echoed through the bedroom, violent and broken, and Dave stood frozen for half a second because he h

  • His Broken Vow   Shattered Truth

    Bella could tell something was wrong long before Dave said a word.It was in the way he avoided her eyes.In the way his jaw tightened whenever she mentioned the investigation.In the silence that followed every smile.And Bella hated silence.Because silence usually carried pain.“You’re not stopping me from seeing him,” Bella said firmly from the hospital bed, folding her arms despite the soreness pulling through her muscles. “If Marcus is involved with Agnes and Joy’s disappearance, then I need answers directly from him.”Dave Stark turned toward her slowly.Even exhausted, even carrying the weight of an entire kingdom on his shoulders, the man still looked devastatingly powerful. Dark shirt stretched across his broad chest, sleeves rolled halfway up his forearms, silver eyes tired but sharp.And yet Bella noticed the strain beneath the surface.“Bella,” he said quietly, “you just woke up after three months in a coma.”“And?”“And your body is still recovering.”“I’m alive, not fra

  • His Broken Vow   Moon Verdict

    The battlefield had become a nightmare made real.Screams ripped through the night air in waves, swallowed and replaced by the sound of flesh tearing and bone snapping. The scent of blood was so thick Bella could taste it on her tongue even from a distance.And at the center of it all—Dave Stark.Not the man.Not the king.A beast unchained.His massive hybrid form moved like a storm given flesh, black fur streaked with crimson as he tore through both rogues and his own warriors without distinction. Every step he took cracked the earth beneath him.This wasn’t war anymore.It was annihilation.Bella stood frozen for half a second too long.Hilda growled inside her mind, restless and afraid.We can’t reach him like this…Bella’s chest tightened painfully. “We have to.”Then a voice came.Not loud.Not physical.But everywhere.You must save him. This is why you were brought here.Bella froze.Her head snapped around.Nothing.No one.Just chaos.And yet the voice lingered like a divin

  • His Broken Vow   Broken Beast

    Bella’s lungs burned as she forced her way through the battlefield.The night had descended into carnage.Blood soaked the courtyard stones beneath her boots while the metallic scent of death poisoned the cold air. Cries of pain echoed from every direction as wolves fought under the silver moonlight.Rogues.Pack warriors.Bodies.Claws.Teeth.Chaos.And at the center of it all stood Dave Stark.No.Not Dave.A monster.Bella’s chest tightened painfully as she watched him tear through another rogue with horrifying strength. His massive beast form towered over everyone else, black fur stained crimson beneath the moonlight.The curse had completely consumed him.Hilda whimpered inside Bella’s head.He’s losing himself…Bella felt it too.Through the anchor bond Sandra had created, emotions slammed violently into Bella’s chest that didn’t belong to her.Rage.Agony.Murder.Fear.And somewhere beneath it all…Dave.Still fighting.Still trapped inside.“Bella!”Morgan’s voice snapped th

  • His Broken Vow   Silent Shift

    The moon hung low above the Blackthorn territory, silver light spilling through the towering pines like liquid silk. The waterfall roared softly in the distance, calm yet powerful, as though the Moon Goddess herself was listening.Bella stood barefoot on the cold stone beside the sacred pool, her pulse uneven beneath her skin.The ritual was done.Or at least… Sandra claimed it was.A strange tension lingered in the air, wrapping around Bella’s body like invisible threads. Her wrist still tingled where Dave Stark had sliced her skin moments ago. The cut had healed unnaturally fast, leaving behind a thin black mark that curved around her vein like ink beneath flesh.Hilda stirred inside her.Something changed, her wolf whispered.Bella swallowed hard.Across from her, Dave looked equally unsettled.The former Hybrid King—now king once again after reclaiming the throne from his cousin, King Stark—stood near the waterfall with his hands buried deep inside the pockets of his black coat.

    The heavy iron doors of the underground garage slid open with a metallic groan, revealing a line of luxury vehicles gleaming beneath the fluorescent lights.Bella slowed beside Sandra, her sore muscles protesting every step. Even after a full day of rest, the bruises from the trials still clung to her body like stubborn memories.Sandra snatched a key fob from the hookboard and tossed it in the air with a grin.“Tonight deserves style.”A sleek black Aston Martin blinked its headlights in response.Bella raised a brow. “You people seriously own too many expensive cars.”Sandra gasped dramatically. “Blasphemy. There’s no such thing.”Despite herself, Bella laughed softly.The sound echoed through the garage—and for the first time in days, her chest didn’t feel unbearably heavy.But then she noticed something missing.Or rather… someone.Her gaze shifted around the garage. “Where’s Dave?”Sandra opened the passenger door for her. “Sulking.”Bella frowned.“He’s pretending he’s against t

    Bella’s stomach rumbled loudly as she and Sandra descended the grand staircase. Hunger gnawed at her—she hadn’t eaten since school before ending up in Dave’s house.“Speaking of food,” Bella whispered, nudging Sandra, “what’s with the cook? She looked like she wanted to slit my throat the second Da

    The evening was quiet. Bella lay in bed, her phone held to her side. She glanced at the time—10:57 PM.Would Dave come tonight?She had to speak to someone to release the agitation churning within her. The weight of her mother's decision was heavy in her heart. Leaving the pack was never her plan,

    Joy bounced in delight as she grabbed a tray from the lunch line. "I wish I was there," she exclaimed, her eyes bright."You should have seen her," Eve said, a self-satisfied sneer creeping over her lips. “I think I created a baddie.”Joy giggled, shooting a playful glance at her. “Remind me never

  • His Broken Vow   Unfinished Business

    Bella sat at the edge of her bed, gazing at the paper Eve had placed in her hand. The words stared back at her, daring her to take an uncertain step.Be intentional about your looks—dress flirty to catch the attention of unmated males.Flirt with some guys to make Marcus jealous.Get a boyfriend… a
