Alpha Jacob's POV.Hours later, I rubbed my sweaty palms together, thinking about Bella, will she agree to meet me or maybe she has made up her mind to leave my pack because of the misfortune incident earlier?I paced back and forth while loosening the bowtie wrapped around my neck.The time I had been waiting for had finally come, to initiate Bella wood as my second chance mate chosen by the moon goddess herself. Dressed in a matching black tax and shoes, I felt suffocated in it because I could not breathe properly.I glanced up at the stairs and she was nowhere in sight.Maybe I should go upstairs and pick her up from her room. I peeked at my watch and it was almost midnight.Bella, where are you? We can not afford to miss the auspicious hour at twelve o'clock midnight when the full moon is at its peak. I hesitantly stepped on the first step to the staircase and tensed, withholding myself back from going to her room.She will be out, I know it. I sighed heavily while cupping my lip
Bella's POVDescending gracefully down the stairs, I tried to hide my true emotions with a serious boldface.You see, all these Alphas have a tendency of causing heartache to weak little skittish wolfs like me, but I had enough of these selfish sentiments towards me…so now was the time to take action and show Alpha Jacob, that I too could be as serious, cold-hearted as he was to me. I heaved a sigh while my knees trembled with fear of the uncertain future.Oh, moon goddess, please let this go as smoothly as possible. I got to Jacob and my foot gave in on the last step as I instantly tripped over almost falling, but yet again, Alpha Jacob, my knight in shining armour caught me bridal style…like as if I needed saving from this sexy cheating cheater. I rolled my eyes without him catching my gaze."Hey, I take it you have forgiven me," he said with a smouldering face."In your dreams, I'm only going because I can't go back to a life of misery, hence I choose to be Luna of the midnight pac
Bella's POV."Grandma." Alpha Jacob suddenly sprinted towards the old woman with a bright smile on his face.Grandma??? I did not see this coming.I did not know that his grandmother was still alive and well. I swallowed hard and followed him to welcome his so-called grandma…besides, I needed to get in good books with all his close family members, therefore she was the best person to start with.'Grandma' as Jacob called her, wore a baby blue knee-length prim and proper dress with what looked like a black fur coat of a fox hanging loosely on her shoulders. The clothes she wore, were fit for a queen if you asked me."Hey, my sweet little boy." The stretched out her hands to Jacob's face and pinched his cheeks as if he were a little boy.Her horse voice sent an eerie feeling to my core…I got closer to her and my goodness, this woman's appearance could speak volumes to anyone…Her face was haggard, beyond recognition. Her skin wrinkled beyond recognition. Her eyes were like a cat's, cunn
Edina shepherd's POV.A light, night breeze blew up causing the burning candle I tried to keep alight to flicker dimly. I quickly folded a piece of paper and shielded the candle from going off... The Moonlight shone in the darkness while I chanted a prayer in a deep trance. casting a spell toward my worst enemy, Mistress Elizabeth Black of the witches' realm."He, who Crosses paths with Edina shepherd, must come on his knees and bowed down before me." I hissed believing in the magic. I felt ethereal and powerful, imagining my silhouette casting against the dark sky. It’s the night that gives the magic power because the night is fundamentally intertwined with magic and the supernatural: the witching hour, black capes, hats and cats, Halloween parties, and graveyard visits, as the new generation would call it, gave me joyful goosebumps."Mistress, I bring news to share with you." katana my trusted right-hand witchress whispered to my ear."Can't it wait?" I cringed my eyes tighter...hop
Alpha Jacob's POV.Beta Olivia walked over to me with a heavy boldface and I knew that something was up."Alpha, sorry to disturb you but we caught a rogue a few hours ago and he is not talking to us." She whispered into my ear just as I was about to demonstrate my hot dance moves to Bella.Shit, I heaved a dreadful sigh because I needed to attend to the pressing matter right away. But what of Bella? I looked at her with a yearning face because every time, I wanted to share an intimate moment with her something always seemed to appear from the blues... Maybe the universe was trying to notify me of a message I was overlooking."I'm sorry, Bella, but I need to attend to another important matter. I will be right back." I leaned in and grazed my lips on her cheek and hurriedly disappeared into the crowd of people."Where is the rogue?" I snarled loudly with flared nostrils.Of late the rogues had developed a certain amount of courage to freely roam around my territory and I needed to get
Bella's POV.Awe, my head hurts. What was in that drink? I clasped onto my pounding head like someone was hitting me with a harmer, with both my hands while my eyes were still shut.I exhaled slowly and opened my eyes… I looked at the brown wooden planks properly positioned on the awning of the room.Wait a minute? This is not my room, mine had a ceiling board with a beautiful chandelier in the center of the room.I quickly jerked up from the bed and I was in Alpha Jacob's room…I gasped while dropping the bed sheet covering me, I darted at the black leathered chair in the room and my red dress was placed on it.Why was it not on my body? My heart raced wildly while I slowly plunged my eyes into my unclothed body.What? I swallowed hard with a scowl. What did I do last night? I tried to recall what happened but nothing came to mind... Then my face reddened with gritting teeth after thinking of the worst scenario ever.How dare Jacob take advantage of me in my vulnerable moment??? But wa
Edina shepherd's POV.Standing frozen at the fact that Bella wood, the new Luna of the midnight pack just answered a question I asked myself in thought, stunned me. I readjusted the pink scarf hanging loosely on my shoulders with a confused mug while katana my assistant stood still waiting for my next order, unknowingly not knowing what was going on in my mind."Katana, did you see that?" I was dazed, mind blown at how that little timid girl answered a question I thought in my mind. Was she a mind reader?No, if she was one, I could have seen it with my metaphysical eyes during my incantation in the early hours of the morning… but what was that unique unknown aura I was picking up from her? I wondered because, in all my hundred-plus years, I had never encountered an aura like hers.Powerful yet reserved...Dominating but because of her omega status, she could not fully access it, and that's why she was still timid, but what is it? I narrowed my eyes at her while she quickly walked awa
Bella's POV.Cupping my lips together with my index finger lightly resting on top of them, I let out a naughty tight-lipped smile across my face while relieving every moment of the kiss, Alpha Jacob planted on me a few minutes ago... He had just broken my lip's virginity... If there was ever such a thing as lip virginity lol.My journey to womanhood was right on track with my rightful fated mate. And I was finally delighted that my stars were aligned with my destiny.Even though I knew Samantha was going to be a nuisance if I did not put her in her place immediately, never was I going to allow her to hijack my happily ever after, as Crystal did. I sexually licked both my lips thinking of all the other possible things I should have done after Jacob kissed me. I glanced down at the tiled floor gazing at my well-manicured feet.Maybe I should have stayed and allowed him to mark me... But what if he is still in love with Avery or any other woman? My simile faded away to that vicious notio
