All Chapters of Shadows Of Goodbye: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

BellaWhen I awoke the next morning, I was alone in bed, which led me to wonder if my brain had conjured up the passion between Edward and me. I rolled out of bed, wondering why I would have such vivid dreams of Edward. Perhaps it was a vision of the future, but he hadn’t been kind to me since he took me from Earth. Hell, he had tortured me as punishment, leaving scars and missing digits. I lifted my hand to remind myself just why I should hate him, before gasping when I had all of my fingers. What in the world? I took a step, crying out in pain from the ache between my legs. Oh God! It was true. I had given myself to him. I paled as I thought about how I had met every one of his thrusts, even going so far as riding him when I claimed him as mine.What had I been thinking? I am human. I can't claim anyone, let alone a Beast. What must he think of me? I didn’t want him. I had only participated so that he wouldn’t hurt me. I was tired of being punished. I was afraid of it. I was–I wiggl

Bella“I think we should talk now, Edward,” I whispered. I turned to him. “I have so many questions. If you snap like that again, would your anger kill me? You would have killed him had I not stopped you, right?”“No, I won't hurt you. I think we should talk. Let’s go back to our room,” he murmured as he put his hands on my shoulders. “Will you come with me?”I looked from his hand on my left shoulder to his eyes, noting how they looked less predatory. The red was gone, replaced by a dark, steely gray that now had a bit of light to it. I was in complete shock over being asked to go with him instead of being ordered to go back to the room. I wasn’t sure if I could trust him, but I trusted him to show mercy, and he did, despite how enraged his Beast was. I am not as terrified of him as I was, but I am more confused than I was before, and I couldn’t fight the need to be close to him. That last fact is what scared me the most. What has changed and why? Does he only want me to bring Sara

BellaI woke up when my leg was pushed forward a little as my lips moved down my neck. Seconds later, a hard cock was gently rubbing against the length of my core, making me immediately get aroused as an involuntary moan slipped out of my mouth. I reached over my shoulder to grip one of his horns as I slid my pussy over his length, teasing us both. His hand moved up my body to roughly grasp my breast. “Bella,” his Beast rasped.When he said my name, it snapped back to the present and I let his horn go to wiggle my hand between his cock and my pussy, cupping my mound to prevent him from entering me. He groaned. “Bella, I want you.” I shook my head as I tried to get out of bed, but his arms tightened around me, holding me in place. “What’s wrong?”“You don’t want me. The Beast can't want anyone. Edward wants Ara. I’m not her. I’ll never be her,” I said.His arms tightened even more around me, painfully so, before letting me go. I sat up, wrapping my arms around my knees. He started to t

EdwardI have already told her most of it. I eyed her as I thought about how to answer her. If I told her the whole truth, it would make her hate me more. If I lied, the bond would tell her, and she would trust me less. Either way, I decided to answer her, I would be screwed. I sighed as I turned back to the bed to sit precariously on the edge behind her. I wanted to reach out to touch her, but I didn’t dare with the stiffness in her body. I want to use magic to force her into my arms and to forgive and forget everything, but I know that if I did, I would lose her forever.“Bella, you really shouldn’t ask questions that you don’t want to know the answer to,” I told her softly.“But I do,” she said, rolling over to face me again. “I deserve them.”“No, you don’t want to hear it, and you deserve far better,” I murmured.“Yes, I do! Why won’t you tell me? You’re afraid that I won’t want you if you tell me, right?” she says as I see small sparks of fire in her eyes. I just want to grab h

BellaAfter a few minutes of racing thoughts, I shakily got back to my feet. I quickly tucked the flower into my hair before going back to work, scrubbing his walls. Cleaning helped me think and allowed me to focus on something that I could control. Hours later, I was still working on cleaning his floor when the door opened, and he walked in, sighing when he saw me on my knees. He came over to kneel in front of me, immediately reaching out to take the sponge from me.“Bella, stop this! I can’t stand to see you on the floor scrubbing like a common maid. Please, baby, if you’re going to hate me, hate me, but don’t wait on me like I’m above you,” he almost begged.I shook my head. “You are King and I–”“Are my Intended and mate. If you are on the floor, then I will be on the floor.” To prove his point, he stuck the sponge in my bucket before beginning to scrub the floor while I stared at him in shock. When I realized he was determined to scrub the entire floor by himself, I covered his h
