Jace's POVAs I approached the water, a sinking feeling intensified. There, by the pond, sat Bella. But she wasn't alone—in the arms of another guy. My jaw clenched, and anger boiled beneath the surface."What the hell, Bella?" I muttered to myself, my heart pounding with a mix of jealousy and fury. I couldn't tear my eyes away, as if the sight was etching itself into my memory.Trying to mask the turmoil within, I forced a casual tone. "Well, well, look who's found company by the water. Didn't expect to see you here, Bella."Bella turned to me, a mixture of surprise and irritation in her eyes. "Jace, please stay away from me."The guy beside her shot me a challenging look. "Can't you see we're busy? Look, man, you heard her already, she doesn't want to see you, so stay away."Ignoring the guy like he didn't exist, I focused my attention on Bella. "Bella, please, just give me a chance to explain."She shook her head, frustration evident. "I don't want to speak with you, Jace."The guy

Jace's POVThe bar's dim lights offered a sanctuary as I angrily walked in, seeking solace in the familiar atmosphere. I took a seat, the worn leather creaking beneath me, and the bartender, a seasoned pack member, approached with a knowing look."Young Alpha, you seem tensed, and I know just what you need," he said, his tone a mixture of sympathy and understanding.Before I could respond, he swiftly returned with a shot glass filled with an unfamiliar mixture. I glanced at it briefly, contemplating, but the frustration within me didn't leave room for second thoughts. I picked up the glass and downed its contents in one go.Surprisingly, it tasted good—strong enough to distract me from the chaos outside. I flashed the bartender a brief smile and said, "Bring me the full bottle."Moments later, the bartender returned with the bottle, and I took another gulp, letting the fiery liquid burn away the edges of my anger.As I sat there, alone with my thoughts, I couldn't shake off the irrita

Jace's POVThe courtyard remained in a stifling silence after the call with Alpha Diablo. Beta Ryan, the tension evident in his every step, cautiously approached my father. His question hung heavily in the air, "You know he's going to find out eventually. What are we going to do, Alpha?""Shut up, let me think," my father barked impatiently, his forehead beaded with sweat as the weight of the situation pressed down on us.An agonizing hour passed in silence, the courtyard standing witness to the collective anxiety. Finally, my father spoke, his gaze distant as he contemplated the perilous path ahead. "I've met a lot of bloodthirsty people in my life, but none of them comes close to Diablo he's the worst of them all. He once suspected his mate to be cheating on him with a pack warrior, he didn't even bother to confirm if it was true or false he simply strangled them both to death with his bare hands. He would have killed that boy too, but he was his biological son, and since he was get

Jace's POVReturning to the lounge, my mind was deep in contemplation over the argument with my father. I was definitely worked up, no matter how hard I tried to cover it.As soon as I stepped into the room, Bella, who was now awake, noticed my expression. She approached gently teasing, "What's the matter, baby? No good morning kiss for me?"I couldn't help but flash a big smile at Bella as I leaned in, placing a kiss on her forehead. Even though I wanted to be angry, I just couldn't. It was a huge challenge for me to be angry when she smiled at me with her big beautiful eyes. I looked into her eyes with a loving gaze "You know that I love you, right?"Bella responded smiling through her eyes , "Yes." She said as she wrapped her hands around me.playing with my beard she she locked eyes with me she questioned, "What's the matter, baby?

Jace POVI took a deep breath, holding her tightly, feeling her warmth against mine. "They're following instructions from my dad, Bella. He doesn't just want me to reject you; he has arranged for a replacement for me. And if I disobey, he's going to take it out on you."She pulled out of the hug, looking me dead in the eye. "What are we going to do, Jace?" The sadness on her face was impossible to ignore."I have a plan, Bella. I have a plan," I responded."What is the plan, Jace? Please tell me, my love," curiosity etched on her face."We run away."Bella yelled out in shock, saying, "What?!!!!"I quickly covered her mouth, whispering, "Keep your voice down, Bella." I looked around to ensure nobody was eavesdropping on our conversation. Thankfully, there was no one around."What do you mean, run away, Jace? Is that the only idea you can come up with?" Bella whispered this time, her eyes locked on me, curiosity etched on her face."Well, look around you, Bella. Does it look like we ha
