Bella's POVI returned to my room after a few hours of working in the kitchen. My waist hurts a lot from standing for so long. I shut the door and walked to the small bed, lying on it. My eyes closed on their own and I heaved out a sigh of relief. My entire body felt weak and drained, the girls never came back. I was left to work with other woman, Nina. She did little or no job, leaving me to do everything. My body felt numb as I laid on the small bed, all strength drained out of me. As much as I wanted to sleep right now, Damien's words echoed in my ears. "You got a lot to do tonight." What does he mean by that? Shivers ran down my body when I remembered the events at the hall. He wasn't going to do something like that again right? My hands went to the shackle on my neck, my fingers running over it. I understood immediately that it must be the reason he put the shackle on my neck. Whatever plan he had, he wanted me weak so he could carry it out. I turned around the bed, pushing her t

His brows rose in recognition a few seconds after he stared at me. He looked away, pretending he doesn't know me. I walked to them, led by the guards, standing right in front of them. Both men paused whatever they were talking about taking their gazes to me. "Oh she's here." I did not have to look to the door before knowing it was Noah. He walked in with a cup of red wine in his hands. He plopped down on the seat beside Damien. "Matteo, like what you see?" He took the cup to his mouth, taking a sip, wiggling his eyebrows.I could feel Matteo's gaze on me, he must be feeling accomplished knowing he was finally getting what he longed for. He comes to the pack sometimes, he's friends with Alpha Hezekiah, it was just once he saw me and yet he couldn't keep his lustful desires to himself. He tried finding a way to get me, even went as far as asking the alpha. But he couldn't get me as I was always locked in my room. "Of course I do." Matteo replied with a smirk on his face. They used to

“What is this? I almost rolled my eyes when he asked.“It’s just me drinking water.” I crossed my arms under my breasts, turning my face from him. My brows rose on their own accord when he stood up and walked to me, standing a few meters from me.“And what was the order you were given?” His voice was suddenly cold, deep without emotion.“Not to drink water?” I know how this might get in trouble, a part of me screaming to me to shut up and apologize to him. But I felt like messing around, I just wanted to see him get angry for absolutely no reason. “You know you could get punished for this right?”“This is hilarious.” I rolled my eyes and chuckled, shaking my head in amusement. “And immature, so what if I have water huh?” I raised my head up high, as if challenging him. “I worked all day, doing everything I was told to, and now you’re going to punish me for what?” I wanted to poke his chest hard, but that would be much of a problem, and I definitely can't handle that. “I don’t blame y

My shoulders were still bleeding badly when I woke up in the cell. I was laid on the bare ground covered in my own pool of blood. I groaned loud as pain shot through my arm as I tried sitting up from the ground. “Are you there?” I leaned against the wall, waiting to hear her voice. I sighed, about a minute later when I heard nothing. “I guess she’s gone. We were never friends though.” I rolled my eyes, leaning my head against the wall. “Jumping into conclusion huh?” My brows rose and excitement rushed through me when I heard her snicker. “You didn’t leave!” “Why would I?” She replied with a small chuckle. “You never stayed, always disappearing and leaving me alone to fix up your mess.” “It was never my fault.” “Ugh, you’re so destructive you know?” “It wasn’t deliberate Bella, I never liked any of those things I did.” “Then you’ve stopped them, you put me in a lot of trouble.” “Bella! I’m also a victim here, don’t blame it all on me.” “You’re the stealer wolf, it’s your fault

Silence. Peace. That is all I feel now. Is this what death feels like? Everywhere is peaceful, no pain at all. I feel like I'm floating and I don't want to ever leave. This is for me. Maybe death is for me. I don't ever want to love again then. I just want to be in such a serene environment. I tried to move my arms but a small sting in my hand made me halt my movements. I tried to move again and it was just the same, but I felt a palm on my arm and a feminine voice spoke in a soft voice. "Hey, easy." Huh? I tried to open my eyes but the blinding light from the fluorescent bulb above my head made me shut them immediately. I opened my eyes again, slowly this time, squinting to avoid the eyes from affecting my eyes. Linda is sitting beside me, her face holding so much concern and sympathy. Huh? I thought I died. "Bella?" Her brows rose in surprise as she moved closer to the bed. "What are you thinking?" She rubbed my shoulders, moving her hands up to stroke my hair. I felt a l
