Chapter 21- She’s worthless

Isabella The next day I was feeling much better, I was thankful that he didn't take anyone to his bed last night, otherwise, I would have been bedridden. I took my bath and dressed up, I pulled up my hair and applied some makeup to hide the tiny puffiness around my eyes. I decided to take my time and look extra beautiful, I wasn't going to give him the satisfaction of seeing me looking miserable.When I finished, I went down to the dining hall, I walked in gracefully, and also took my time greeting some of the pack members before I made my way to the Alpha table.“Good morning Mum,” I greeted Queen Selena“Good morning Dad,” I greeted King Leonard but he raised an eyebrow at me in surprise at being called “Dad” and smiled back at me. It feels so good seeing him smile and not having that grumpy look.“Are you feeling better, my dear child?” Queen Selena asked with genuine concern etched on her face.“Oh yeah! I'm perfectly fine,” I smiled and pulled out my seat, and sat down while the

Chapter 22- He did it again

IsabellaLuna, what are you doing? Violet squeezed her hands nervously as I laced up my sneakers. I was dressed in black leggings, a sports bra, and a loose tee.“What does it look, like I'm doing,” I raised an eyebrow“You can't Bella, you will get hurt,” She mumbled and pulled her hair in frustrationI finished lacing up my sneakers and stood up“Then let me get hurt. I am the Luna, I have to train and be able to protect my people if the need arises. I can't be weak.” I stared at my reflection in the mirror and tied my hair up in a ponytail. I have promised myself to be strong and find a way to be free from this mess. I know it won't be easy but taking it one step at a time would be the best. I sighed and went closer to Violet and held her and said “Don't worry Vi, I can handle it.” I hugged her and left my chamber. I walked down to the training ground and approached the group that was stretching and warming up on the grass. I saw Malcolm standing beside them and holding a clipboar

Chapter 23- Fuck me hard

Isabella I wore my pajamas and was sitting on the dresser brushing out my hair and preparing for bedtime, as the pain started to cramp up my stomach.He did it again!!!I knew he was going to do it again but I didn't know he would do it so soon, knowing the kind of pain he subjected me to the last time. Arden was truly a monster, that doesn't care whether I live or die from the constant pain he was inflicting on me.But the only good thing was I knew where it was coming from, unlike the first time. I could even guess exactly what they are doing by the area and severity of the pain. The gut pain is probably because they are still engaging in smooching and foreplay. I quickly styled my hair in a messy bun before another more severe pain hit me in the chest. And I fell on the floor and grabbed the door handle.This time around I was determined to see the shameless woman that he was fucking, I left my chamber and staggered down the hallway. Their moaning and giggling filled the hallway,

Chapter 24- Tingling sparks

IsabellaIt was dawn already. I woke up earlier than usual, I couldn't get enough sleep last night because my stomach kept aching all night and I knew they were smooching and kissing all through the night. But fuck him, I wasn't going to spend another day in bed. I got dressed and went down for breakfast.I walked into the dining hall and noticed that Arden and his Dad were having a heated altercation. Both of them were furious and there was this sinister aura around them.“ Your behavior is shameful Arden, you’re shaming your title, your wife, and your family. Is it so difficult for you to put your manhood in place?” King Leonard was growling in a low voice.“I don't owe you or anybody any explanation, I will live my life in whatever way I want, and as the Alpha, I no longer answer to you Dad, instead it's the other way around,” Arden growled loudly.I moved out of their way and went and greeted Queen Selena.“Are you okay, my dear child, you look very pale and depleted this morning,”

Chapter 25- I’m the Alpha

Isabella After the training, I was all sweaty and dirty and I decided to settle for a relaxing warm bath just to calm my tense nerves. I stripped out of my training outfit, my bra, and panties and dumped them in the laundry basket, and moved into the lavatory. I turned on the hot water and it worked wonders on my weak and achy body as I took my time cleaning myself and lathering the soap.I sighed, sitting deep into the hot water that covered my body, I felt the stem seeping into my muscles and bone and I loved every bit of it and the way it relieved my aching body. After having my bath, I dressed up in a short and loose tee and decided to walk around the garden or maybe sit out somewhere in the lobby and sketch.I had just locked my door when out of nowhere a strong and huge hand grabbed me fiercely and pushed me to the wall. I looked up into those cold emerald green eyes that regarded me with loathing. His eyes were filled with rage and I felt my heart prickle with fear. I was tre

Chapter 26- Black sheep

Isabella I woke up to the beeping of the machine, I didn't know how long I had slept but I woke up feeling very queasy and dazed. Every single muscle in my body ached and my eyes felt extremely heavy. I blinked to recall and then the memories of last night came flooding and where I was. By my right, a machine was monitoring my heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen intensity.There was a cannula IV, a tiny tube that was inserted in my left hand and there was a bag of saline drip dropping slowly into the line. The light was dimmed, and Lance was sitting in the only chair holding my bed and slightly dozing off. It seemed that he had been awake all night looking after me, I felt really sad for making him uncomfortable, and at the same happy about the way he looks after me like his biological sister. I touched my face and it was hot and my eyes were a bit puffy from all the crying of yesterday. I didn't have a mirror to get a good look but I guess there would be bruises on my face or may

Chapter 27- I don’t want to see you in pain

Isabella I couldn't even imagine Arden’s reaction if he finds out he's too irresponsible, too fickle. Would he want the child? Or reject it? I couldn't even imagine him as a father. What if he kills the baby knowing that he hates me so much? What if the child grows up and starts behaving like his dad?The air suddenly grew heavy with pain and something intense, something I could not quite name. My hand clutched my chest as I tried to breathe, the air was too stifling, and despite being medically sound, I suddenly felt claustrophobic. I felt like I was on fire, that my insides were being twisted and thrown into a grinder.The monitor to my right began to beep as my heart rate skyrocketed.“ Easy Luna, take it easy, please you need to take a deep breath, and you would be fine,” the doctor held my hand and tried to reassure me. I nodded even though inside me my heart was breaking apart.I groaned internally in pain, I felt sore all over, and there was a murderous ache in my head that

Chapter 28- Forgive him

Isabella Later in the day, Queen Selena came in with Violet carrying a tray of food. She sat down and stretched her hand and touched my forehead while Violet bowed in rest and started arranging the food tray. I needed to use the restroom but my ankle was broken, when Arden threw me on the floor. It was sealed up with a bandage and I can't really walk on my own, so Violet had to literally carry me to the bathroom. The doctor had explained that there were internal bruises on my ankle and a lot of tissue damage and that it would take a few weeks before it would heal properly.Once in the bathroom, I was able to check out the injuries on my face and neck. The reflection in the mirror told me I was a piece of wreck. I have bruises under one of my eyes and I guess it's from the effect of the slap. My eyes were slightly swollen from all the crying and my neck was far worse, a nightmare. My neck was all blazed with ugly lines of black and red, on one of the sides one could easily count the

Chapter 29- He doesn't deserve you

Isabella Sometimes I was overcome with depression. I was engulfed in such heavy sadness that I thought I would get lost in it forever. And sometimes I would secretly think about Malcolm and the thoughts of seeing him were overwhelming. How could I possibly feel a mate pull with two different men? And of all the men in the universe, why would it be my husband’s brother? Why is the moon goddess bent on making my life difficult? Although Arden was ruthless and cold, Malcolm was different and the thoughts of him always lit up my dark world.I was so bored and restless. I couldn't endure the torture of being confined in my chamber, although the doctor had advised me to stay in bed for the rest of the week but I just can’t and it feels like part of me was slipping away. I started going down to have my meals in the dining hall, though I was skeptical about seeing Arden but luck was on my side and he never made an appearance. And it also allowed me to sit across the table from Malcolm.

Chapter 30- Go rogue

Isabella“ He doesn't deserve you.” I should have asked what he meant but I was too busy gawking at the wall of muscles in front of me. He held my gaze, his bright amber-brown eyes were looking deep into my soul.He sighed and let go of my hand and gently helped me to my feet and moved back a bit from me “ You should go now, Luna.” His words were gentle and his amber eyes were fixated on mine as he studied my face and his finger trailed a lock of hair from my face and tucked it behind my ear.I felt a churn in my chest and my heart shattered into a million pieces. How could he share a kiss with me, and now wants me to leave? He opened the door for me and stood aside, I held myself, I won't cry whatever happens I would hang onto my remaining dignity“ Thank you for your help Malcolm, I appreciate it,” I muttered“ Oh, you are always welcome, take this please,” he added the massage serum and joint treatment into a bag and handed them to me. I took the bag and understood the message
