Bella's povHaydn lifted Barnett's hand from my shoulder with force, delivering a solid punch to Barnett's face."Bella is my mate, the future Luna Queen. You have no right to touch her. If I see you lay a finger on her again, I'll cut off your hands," Haydn stared dangerously at Barnett.Barnett was extremely unwilling; he wanted to argue that Bella had once been his mate, but he was merely an Alpha of a pack, while Haydn was the Alpha King of the entire kingdom. In both status and power, he couldn't compare to Haydn. Therefore, in this moment, in this situation, he had no choice but to submit."As you command," Barnett said, kneeling on one knee, hand over his chest, head bowed in response.Haydn took my hand, disregarding Barnett on the ground, and we left the library together. Unbeknownst to us as we walked away, Barnett stared at us with a resentful gaze.Haydn and I returned to my room. As soon as the door closed, Haydn eagerly pressed me against the wall, his kiss possessive an
Bella's povRecently, I've developed a love for reading medical books at the library, particularly those related to medicine. However, there are parts of the medical texts that I find confusing. So today, I decided to go to the Royal Palace Pharmacy to study.As I walked through a corridor, I reached the entrance of the pharmacy.The door opened, and I saw a man with distinct green hair standing there, engrossed in manipulating a pile of potions. He seemed focused, not noticing my arrival.Knock, Knock, Knock.The knocking finally caught his attention."Hello, Miss Bella," he looked up and smiled at me. It was only then that I noticed his eyes were also green, though a shade darker than his hair."Sorry to disturb you," I entered the room, and he gestured for me to sit."Not at all. I'm Nolan Wells. How can I assist you?" Dr. Nolan Wells seemed friendly and willing to help."Dr. Wells, may I seek your guidance on some medical knowledge?" Being a pharmacist is a highly respected profes
Bella’s povTime passed quickly. The Alphas who had come to the royal city before gradually returned to their own packs. The next time they come here will be to attend my and Haydn's wedding.I have been diligently studying medical knowledge lately and have made a firm decision to become a qualified pharmacist. After getting acquainted with Dr. Wells, I went to the pharmacy again to consult him about medical knowledge. Unfortunately, his assistant informed me that Dr. Wells had been secluded, researching something. Not wanting to disturb him, I decided to continue studying on my own.After a few days, I decided to take a break and go out to the streets. Interestingly, I hadn't explored the local market here in the royal city since I arrived."Haydn, I want to go out for a while. Would you like to join me?" I went to Haydn's study, inviting him to accompany me. He had been busy lately, and I hadn't seen him take a break. I thought this could be an opportunity for him to relax a bit."O
Bella’s povIn a hazy state, I felt as though someone was touching my forehead. My consciousness gradually cleared, and suddenly I remembered what happened before I lost consciousness. Those bandits knocked me out! I jolted awake, wide-eyed.Panting, I widened my eyes but unexpected to see a young girl. She awkwardly withdrew her hand."You're awake," the girl said and then coughed violently. "Cough, cough, cough...""Who are you?" It was a small room with nailed windows and a closed door. "Where am I?""I'm Judy," the girl said, easing up a bit with an apologetic look. "I don't know where this is either." Judy continued coughing, then the door opened, and a little girl walked in.It was the girl who stole my money!"It's you!" I immediately tried to stand up but failed due to dizziness.The little girl brought a cup of water and handed it to Judy. "Sister, are you feeling unwell again?"These two turned out to be sisters. What was their connection to the people who kidnapped me?"Jan
Haydn's POVAfter a lengthy meeting, I returned to my library. It was around noon, so I ordered a simple meal and quickly finished it. The documents on my table were still piled up.With no time to rest, I focused on them again. Just then, a subordinate knocked and said he had something urgent to report. I allowed."Your Majesty, Miss Bella has been kidnapped. The six guards who accompanied her this morning were found dead in a secluded corner of a street by patrolling soldiers." Concerned about the future Queen Luna, the subordinate didn't dare to delay and immediately reported to the king upon receiving the news.I stood up immediately, and my extreme anger made me snap the pen in my hand.“Who dared to snatch my mate! “My emotions were a mix of anger and regret. Bella had invited me to go out with her in the morning, but I was busy with work and declined her invitation. If I had gone with her, this kidnapping wouldn't have happened.Aidan: It was your fault!Aidan was already furi
Bella’s povIn the dark night, I and a dozen other girls struggled forward under the coercion of the kidnappers. In the dimly lit underground passage, we walked for what felt like an eternity before finally emerging.The kidnappers took us into a vehicle, and after some time, the vehicle came to a stop in a small mountain village. It seemed to be the headquarters of these villains. Our eyes were not blindfolded when we entered. They weren't afraid of us escaping because, in addition to the dozen kidnappers who had just returned, there were a total of twenty or thirty people. They were robust, armed, and not someone we, weak women, could resist.We were locked in another house. The day had not yet dawned, and after the long journey and lack of sleep, many girls continued to sleep. Sighing, besides sleeping, it seemed like there was nothing else to do.I lay on my side, preparing to catch up on sleep. At this moment, a small figure lay down beside me. It was Jane."Jane, is there someth
Haydn's povIt was a relief to reunite with my mate, and I felt grateful that she stood before me unharmed. Shifting back to human form, I embraced her tightly. Her warm hands on my face brought a sense of relaxation and ease. After hours of uncertainty, my hesitant heart finally let go, allowing me to breathe freely again."Bella, did you get hurt?" Bella shook her head. Nevertheless, I thoroughly checked her from head to toe. Fortunately, I only noticed some marks on her wrist. I gently traced my fingers over the indentations, feeling a pang of sorrow."It's okay; I didn't feel much pain." Even though my mate claimed she was fine, I couldn't forgive the slightest harm to her. Those kidnappers had crossed a line by daring to abduct the Luna Queen of this nation."Where are the other kidnappers?" When I arrived, the battle had already concluded. I felt immense pride in my mate's power and strength.Bella introduced me to the girls who had suffered alongside her. The girls were both ex
Bella’s povLate at night, Haydn and I lay in bed together. Haydn held me tightly, leaving no space between us. Lately, he had been tense, constantly worrying about my safety. Wherever I went, he accompanied me, always by my side."Tomorrow, I want to visit the slums." Some of the girls rescued from the kidnappers had been returned home, but others were left homeless, residing in the slums. Judy and Jean, my friends, were in such a situation, and I wanted to check on how they were doing."Why do you want to go to the slums?" Haydn didn't immediately agree, not wanting Bella to go out alone under any circumstances."I want to see Judy and Jean.""I've already sent aid to them and the other people in the slums; enough to sustain them for several months." Speaking of the slums, Haydn couldn't help but think of the poor girl Lily and her grandmother."Haydn, I can't stay in the palace forever." I looked at Haydn seriously, expressing my thoughts. "If you're really worried about me, just a
