Bella’s pov After 6 PM. I nestled in Haydn's embrace for a short nap. When I woke up, the sky had completely darkened. "What time is it?" I sensed a strange smell. "Haydn, what are you drinking?" Haydn held a cup of red liquid. Was it wine? His expression was one of enjoyment as if he found the 'drink' delicious. "Do you want a sip?" "No." Was it really wine? The scent didn't seem right. "This wine doesn't smell quite right." I recoiled, moving away from his embrace, keeping a distance from Haydn. "It's not wine. It's blood." There was still some red liquid left on Haydn's lips, which looked a little weird. I felt nauseous. Stepping back, I increased the distance between us. "Are you crazy?" I shouted. He ate raw meat last night, and tonight he's drinking blood. What's wrong with him? "Animal blood." Haydn raised the glass to show me. "Gosh." Haydn was freaking mad. Knowing it was animal blood was no better than human blood. My stomach churned; I felt like throwing up wit

The Third Person's pov Based on the events of the previous two nights, both Haydn and Bella recognized that night was a critical point in time when the curse would strike.

Gray, now recovered, was in charge of guarding the door for the King. Bella and Haydn finished their meal early, they ate normal food as Haydn had not yet lost his mind. Outside the castle window, the last rays of sunlight were about to disappear, Haydn and Bella stood by the window, looking tense; they both knew that tonight was going to be a very difficult time. Dark crows rested on the roof of the grand building, seeming to signal something ominous was about to happen "Bella, I need to go back to my room alone now," Haydn kissed Bella's forehead, "Good night, sweet dreams and don't worry about me." Haydn went on one kne

Haydn’ s POV "You scared me!" Bella's trembling voice brought me back to my senses. My heart was bleeding. I hurt her. I scared her. She was almost trembling. I’m a failure... to let my mate live in this hell. Afraid of me, who swore to protect her! The horrible truth terrified me. I couldn't go on like this anymore. One day, I will completely lose control, and I will hurt everyone, including Bella, when I lose my mind. Goddess, Bella was pregnant with my child. I couldn't let her panic and worry like this anymore, I had to do something. After calming down, I told Bella that I wanted to stay in the study alone. I lied. No matter how much I wanted to stay with her, I couldn’t risk her safety. She felt a little hurt, but I was too dangerous for her now, and I needed to stay away from her. I sat at the desk, holding my forehead with both hands and thinking for a long time. Finally, I made up my mind. I picked up the phone and dialed Alpha Logan's number. "Hello, this i

Bella’s POVThe moonlight was beautiful tonight. Its bright glow illuminated the palace, but down in the palace basement, only the flickering torchlight lit up the dim space. Dust covered everything, and the place was filled with an ancient atmosphere. The basement hadn’t been used in a long time and had long since been abandoned.I wrapped a heavy chain around Haydn’s body, then secured his arms and thighs. The cold iron pressed against his warm skin, making Haydn shudder all over.“Bella, you need to tighten the chain a little more.”I pursed my lips and did as he said. The chain would hurt him, but I had to do it.The unsolved curse was gradually eroding Haydn’s sanity. The harder it became for him to remain sane at night, the easier it was for him to lose control.
