Alpha Zach's POV.Weeks later after Alexander's failed attempt to retrieve my Bella from that selfish bastard calling himself Alpha Jacob, I sat in my office, brushing my imaginary beard because I had received an unannounced visit from my arch nemesis's pack.With furrowed brows, I glanced at my visitor with a question mark. Do I trust her or continue falling at my plan to retrieve my true mate Bella? I sighed softly."I've been thinking about this for a while now," I said, "and I've come up with a plan that I think will work.""What do you have in mind?" Samantha asked, looking intrigued in her sexy lime green leather mini dress with matching high-heeled boots. She looked sexy but my wolf did not fancy her. She was just another crystal in sheep's clothing. I smirked. Like who unravels clubbing clothing in the morning? Anyway, that's none of my business."We need to lure Bella away from Alpha Jacob's territory, where she's heavily protected," I explained because every attempt I made w
Alpha Jacob POV.Waking up next to Bella was a beautiful sight every day. She was an early riser but today she slept in.Wow, what a view. She was facing me and I got the opportunity to study her… her captivating glowing face looked younger and peaceful in sleep. Her sexy plump succulent lips parted slightly, and her shiny brunette hair was an exquisite mess after a night filled with passion and sex.She was tempting to reach out and touch but like a small child, she looked delicate in her sleep and did not want to be disturbed…Let me go for my early morning patrol in the boundaries of the pack just to make sure there was no danger lurking around. With quiet swift movements, I got out of bed making sure not to wake up sleeping beauty and wore my joggers, sneakers and then grabbed my iPod on my way out and plugged my headphones in my ears… with an upbeat song playing, I start jogging slowly but making sure my razor focus eyes were scanning every inch of my territory.Shirtless and sw
Queen Zita's POVSeated on my magnificent throne at the bottom of the ocean in Pavlopetri city, I was surrounded by the six Nameless Elders, who are the most respected and powerful figures in the underwater kingdom. We were all gathered in a grand hall at the bottom of the ocean. They all bowed their unseen faces in their black cloaks which covered them from head to toe, that's if they ever had toes or fins.I composed my stern posture with a slight tight-lipped smile."Your Majesty, we have summoned you here today to discuss the matter of your daughter, Bella." The first Elder spoke his mind.I heaved a sigh while my smile vanished because I saw this coming after bringing my daughter here…sometimes these fucking fish behaved like humans, always gossiping about what they were not told about. I discreetly roll my eyes.With ease and calm, I gently bob my head. "Yes, I am aware. What would you like to know?""We would like to know why you have kept her existence a secret all these years
Crystal POV."Mom, I hate my life and I wish I was not mated to Alpha Zach." I declared because my life has been nothing but a horrific nightmare I wanted to wake up from. I sighed heavily tears prickling in the corner of my eyes.I sat quietly on my mother's stained sofas while I brushed my fingers on what seemed like a wine stain. Her house was always clean when Bella was around. I heaved a sigh with a quiver and then I caught a nauseating scent that lingered in the room that made me gag a little in my mouth. I swallowed while wondering when last she cleaned her home.But then again my mind wondered if Bella's second chance mate, Alpha Jacob treated her better than I was being treated by my seduced Alpha Zach.my life has been nothing but hell for the past few months I had lived in the mansion."Oh, be quiet, Crystal ." Diana's cold emotionless words brought me back to reality. I peeked at her with furrowed brows…why did she talk to me like that? I pulled a face while darting at her
Crystal POV.It was dusk and I had chosen to run to my mother and rant as a BBC reporter assigned to a war zone...What I saw was too gruesome and disturbing to keep to oneself."Mom, Alpha Zach has Bella, heavily drugged and bound by silver chains in one of the chambers at the mansion.""What? Crystal, do you know the consequences of what you are saying?" My mother asked with a frown. She then crossed her arms on her chest while she gave me a look that questioned my sanity.She was seated on the swing on her home's porch…I stopped pacing back and while I glanced at her with a serious quizzical gaze. How dare she question my statement like that??? Like what great reward would I get for lying about my mate and Alpha? I sighed heavily."Mother, are you going to listen to me or judge what I have to say about the Alpha?" I asked."Okay fine," she rolled her eyes and sighed softly. "Tell me what Alpha Zach did this time around." She said sarcastically.I peeked at Mom, with a raised eyebr
Alpha Zach's POV.I stood over the prone form of Bella, my prize. I had captured her so easily, using my superior strength and cunning to overpower her. Now she lay before me, drugged into a deep sleep.I put her in one of my many bedrooms and chained her with bronze and silver chains as instructed by my ally Beta Samantha.I smirked triumphantly as I pushed back tiny bits of her loose hair to the back of her ear. I looked at my prized possession with great satisfaction because, for the first time in months, I had my true mate right where I wanted her to be…under my roof and territory.My eyes fell on her plump succulent lips and my wolf wailed just for a small piece of them.Kiss her, rip her clothes off, and fuck her hard Alpha… I licked my lips slowly and seductively just in case she woke up and saw my sexy hot face…I gasped as I tried to control my dirty thoughts...As soon as we had gotten into my territory, I ordered my warriors to be on high alert because I knew Alpha Jacob wou
Bella's POV."Child?" That word sounded absurd coming from Zach's mouth. How dare he say something that doesn't exist. I furrowed my brows. "What child are you talking about?" I looked at both Zach and his Oracle with a frown. These fuckers don't know what they are talking about. If I was pregnant, I would have known.The rude shock of awakening in Zach's territory was shocking enough news than what I just heard. I took short breaths in and out while I braved on and stared them both down.Zach and the Oracle looked at me with quizzical stares and kept to themselves. The room became dead silent, the only thing I could hear we're the bird chirping outside the window.I slowed down my breathing, closed my eyes, and made effort to muster all my powers stowed within me but I failed to trigger them for reasons I could not understand. I darted at the Silver chains cuffed to my wrists with a frown because I was stronger than silver. I proved this in one of my training sessions with Jacob.Jaco
Crystal's POV.Standing at the corner of a huge pillar in the hallway, my eyes gave attention to Zach leaving the room Bella was imprisoned in.It's been twenty-four hours since I told Daddy about Bella's predicament, and he had done nothing about it. What was so hard about him just making a call to Alpha Jacob and asking what was going on?Alpha Zach's promise to consider my request was also in vain...I peeped at him and he looked somewhat agitated by whatever was going on in the room. I sighed softly while looking over my shoulder to make sure no one saw me spying on my own mate. It was late at night and Zach had given strict orders for no one to enter Bella's room without his permission or saying so.I sneered internally because this new normal of having to compete for Zach's attention with my own sister was becoming ridiculous. it was reminding me of the past but this time I had to help my sister out of the cold claws of Zach's…I pray Bella rejects his offer of giving him an heir
