Chapter ElevenFirst Person’s PerspectiveBelleI practically ran back to the house, my pulse still hammering in my chestMy lips were still swollen from his kisses. My body still hummed with the aftershocks of what we’d done on that bench. And the guilt—oh god, the guilt was trying to claw its way up my throatBut I shoved it down. I had to, because this was part of the plan, right? Use the mate bond to what I need to destroy RowanExcept it hadn’t felt like using him. Not when he’d looked at me like that, not when he’d….Stop, you need to focus I slipped through the side entrance, hoping to avoid everyone and just get to my room and take a nice bath I needed to wash away the evidence of what we’d done, even though part of me wanted to keep it on my skin forever“Belle?”I frozeNo. No, no, noI turned slowly to find my mother standing in the living room doorway, arms crossed, eyebrow raised. She was still fully dressed despite the late hour, which meant she’d been waiting upFor m

Chapter ThirteenFirst Person’s PerspectiveBelleMy entire day was spent pacing, plotting, and slowly losing my mindBy the time 6 PM rolled around, I was ready to either fight Reign or fuck him…..Maybe both, he-heI showed up at his office right on time, pushing through the door without knockingHe was behind his desk, as always. But this time, he looked… tired and stressed upAll the controlled mask he always wore had a few cracks showing through“Close the door,” he saidI did, then walked over to his desk “Did you change your mind about Nora?”“No” came his very fast and firm response, my heart sank, I was somehow expecting some positive news “Then why am I here?” My voice didnt do shit to hide the disappointment that I feltHe leaned back in his chair, studying me “You’re angry”“Of course I’m angry, my best friend is homeless because of Rowan, and no one will help her, even though all you all have literally preached to me since I got here, Is helping each other”“I didn’t say

Chapter Fifteen First Person’s Perspective BelleHe was laughing on the recording, very relaxed and loose ljke he was telling a funny story over drinks, which was exactly what he’d been doing, he and his fellow psychopathsI stopped it“Marcus Webb’s birthday party” I said “You had a lot to drink and someone just happened to have had their phone out” I tilted my head “You talked…a lot, for almost ten minutes and you seemed very proud of yourself”“That was…” he stopped, jaw working “That was supposed to be private”“Oh!” I feigned cluelessness and pouted “it was?”“Belle…”“Well my step father got it for me,” I kept my pout “Funny how things find their way to the right people eventually,”I glanced back at Reign briefly. He stood near the door, arms folded, expression giving nothing away, then my gaze turned back to Rowan“So here’s your choice,” I said, holding up my phone again, this time switching to the camera“You can look into this lens right now and say everything you did to

Chapter Seventeen First Person’s PerspectiveBelleThe dungeon felt colder the second time aroundOr maybe that was just me, still reeling from what I’d just done with Reign on that balconyOr, could be the fact that Rowan was sitting soaking wet from head to toe on the chair, and I couldn’t tell if it was water, sweet or bloodWilde was leaning against the wall by the side of the room, hands crossed, looking very bored as he eyed Rowan “Took you long enough,” he said when he saw us approaching“What do you do?” I asked, mouth slightly agape with purely undisguised amusement “What I know best” he winked at me and we both laughedReign’s expression didn’t change, I don’t think he shared in our amusement “Is he still….alive?”“Yeah, he hasn’t moved even a bit from his spot, but he’s been crying though” Wilde grinned “It’s kind of pathetic, but yeah….definitely alive”“Good,” I said, satisfaction curling up in my chestThen I looked up and notice how Wilde’s eyes flicked between Reign

Chapter Nineteen First Person’s Perspective Belle The week passed in a blur. I spent most of it getting to know the pack members and making connections I felt were necessary while also making preparations to leave and start my life over again I attended a few training sessions tho, helping out where I could and honestly It was… nice. Normal, almost Except for the constant awareness of Reign. Every time we were in the same room, the air felt charged. Every accidental brush of hands sent sparks through me. Every time our eyes met, I remembered exactly how he tasted It was pure peak level torture and by the time the mating ceremony rolled around, I was wound so tight I thought I might snap “You look amazing,” Maya said when she picked me up and I gave a small smile, I looked good, but I wasn’t so sure about ‘amazing’ I’d chosen a simple but elegant dress, which was hardly my style Don’t get me wrong, I liked simple and elegant but not in dresses, I mostly preferred leath
