Chapter 51- Kill the Luna

Isabella Malcolm and Lance opened the door and came face to face with Arden and his warriors. Arden glared at the two men. “My brothers, the two men I trusted the most, kidnapped my wife and mate.” “ We didn’t kidnap her, she severed the bond and ran away from you!” Lance yelled back.“ You watch how to speak to your Alpha little brother, or I will help you lose that tongue of yours.” he spat out, unable to keep his rage from his voice.“ You betrayed me brothers and for that, you have to pay with your life.” He raised his hands and made a signal to the warriors “ Arrest them for treason against the Blood Moon Pack.” The pack warriors circled on Malcolm and Lance, although the looks on their faces showed that they were reluctant to do so. But they had to obey the order because failure to do so would mean them paying with their lives. While Malcolm and Lance were distracted, Arden skirted the vehicle and came around to the passenger door. I tried to escape from the driver's side

Chapter 52- I love you

IsabellaHis eyes went wide as he grabbed my shoulders, and pulled me down. I landed hard on my back, and he crawled over me. He cocked his head to one side, studying me intensely with fascination. His heated gaze was almost boring a hole in my soul.“Bella..” He was gasping for breath, “Stay still. Stay down, please.” I stopped struggling as I realized that he was protecting me with his own body. He tried propping himself on his elbow to take some of his weight off me. “ I messed up…Bella…I was supposed to say sorry.” There was a terrible rattle in his chest as he struggled with each breath, sweat was dripping down his body and his face was quickly turning a horrible shade of grey.“ You’re wounded Arden, please we have to find a way to stop the bleeding.” I could feel the warm, wet stickiness of his blood oozing off from him and onto me. I tried to wriggle around so I could apply pressure to the wound but I couldn't reach the place on his back. Arden only shook his head and stared

Chapter 53- Funeral procession

IsabellaI was broken and I sat down in the middle of the road and cried out my pain. It felt as if all the air in my lungs had been crushed out, the pain in my soul was crushing me and I couldn't wrap my head around anything. I watched as the half-unconscious Lance was carried and placed inside the car while six warriors went to lift Arden’s huge lifeless body from the earth and gently lay it across the back seat of one of the cars. The dead bodies of the rogues were moved away from the road and set ablaze. One of the rogue survivors was tied up and thrown inside the trunk for interrogation. Warriors moved around me doing the work that had to be done and I could only watch in a daze. I felt Malcolm’s hand on my shoulder, his face was drawn and tear-streaked. “ Bella!! You’re bleeding, your dress is covered in blood.”I shook my head “ It's a minor graze and bruises from Arden pushing me down to the pavement and all the blood in my dress is not mine. It belonged to Arden and aside f

Chapter 54- Kiss his pain away

Isabella On the second day, Lance came to my room with a tray of food. He looked awful, his face was pale and puffy, and his shoulders were scrunched as he put the tray of food down on the bedside table. He didn't quite look at me as he sighed and turned around and walked out without even talking to me. I swallowed hard. He hates me now? Maybe he regrets his decision to elope with me. Does he blame himself for the cause of his brother’s death? I picked over the food and tried to eat something to stop the rumbling of my stomach but I had no appetite, I closed back the food and went to lay on the bed. My gaze stares at the blank air. I was rooted in that position for a long time, several thoughts grazing through my mind as time flew by and twilight slowly crept in. And I heard a slight tap on the door and Queen Selena opened the door and slipped inside the room. She looked much older today than when I had met her for lunch just a few days ago the day she came sneaking to see us in th

Chapter 55- Nightmare

Isabella Malcolm squeezed me and dropped his head onto my hair. “ This is like a nightmare that I can't wake up from,” he said tiredly. “ Have you eaten?” I shook my head. I had picked at the breakfast tray and skipped lunch. “ I’ll ask one of the maids to bring some food to my chambers. “Let’s go.” He lifted me off his lap and enveloped my hand in his and together we left the Alpha’s office. We passed my chambers, where I had lived alone across the hall from Arden, and went down the east wing where his chamber is located. His chamber hadn't changed much since the last time I’d sat inside it. It seemed like years ago since the first day I stepped my feet inside. “ I need a shower,” he mumbled, led me to the bed, and settled me there. He was already pulling off his shirt before he reached the bathroom. I watched his sexy muscular back recede into the bathroom. After a few minutes, there was a knock, and I opened it to find an unfamiliar omega pushing a cart filled with food trays.

Chapter 56- Peaceful slumber

IsabellaI took an indrawn breath, pinching the skin on my forehead, and glanced back at Shane who was sleeping comfortably on the bed. I inhaled deeply, leaving the chambers, and closed the door behind me. I felt weak. My eyes were stinging from the exhaustion that washed over me. I could feel my entire body on fire and every bone in my body ached with pain and the pit of my stomach also burned with similar pain. Not today, I can't possibly fall sick. I groaned while praying to the moon goddess that the pain would go away. As I walked down the hallway to my chambers, I could hear the melancholic music wafting around the Pack, and I felt a coldness rush down my spine. I arrived at my chambers and collapsed on the bed, today is Arden’s funeral. I wasn't sure of what to wear to his funeral. A black dress would have been too cliche, even if I had owned one, which I didn't. I liked bright colors and when I opened my closet, it looked like a rainbow explosion. Digging through my limited

Chapter 57- I love you

Isabella I walked down to where Queen Selena and her husband King Leonard were braced behind a chair. I approached them slowly. “Mum,” I said to her, taking her shaking hands in my own. “ I love you. You’ve been like a second mum to me since I joined the pack. You have always been there for me. I’ll miss you, Mum but I think now we can meet frequently without all the secrecy.”“What? What are you talking about Bella?” You want to leave? You still want to leave us? But why? You can't leave! Not after what had happened! You have to stay! What about Malcolm? What will become of him? He is the next Alpha of our pack and he needs a Luna beside him.You have to stay Isabella, Queen Selena said desperately while sobbing.Maybe it was unfair of me to lay this on her son’s funeral but it needed to be said and it needed to be said now, because I planned to leave today. “ My heart is okay Mum, I’ve forgiven my father and sisters, I’ve forgiven you and Dad. I’ve forgiven Arden.” I took a deep b

Chapter 58- I’m pregnant

IsabellaThe ride back with Lance was quiet, there was no argument this time about whether or not to get a hotel. Other than frequent stops to relieve my squashed bladder and a few runs through the drive of some of the food restaurants, we drove straight home. By the time we arrived in front of our new house, I was very uncomfortable and my back hurts but I was happy and relieved to be home.Violet came out of the front door and grabbed me up in a hug and simultaneously burst into tears. Her words were all garbled and mixed up in her sobs. “Sorry… Arden... scared me... I thought... you weren't going to come back…”I hugged her close and then took her by the shoulders, looking into her teary eyes “Of course I came back, Violet. You are my family and best friend.” I sighed and let her help me up the porch stairs and into the house before she left me and ran into Lance’s arms. Jack greeted me inside. He’d been working on the renovations in the kitchen and he was covered with dust and w

Chapter 59- You’re aroused

IsabellaHe looked up and met my gaze. And just like always, when his eyes met mine everything else went silent around me as if nothing else mattered. Those hazel orbs stared at me, his eyes caressing my skin, his gaze and the promise those eyes held made my core throb. A delicate shower of pleasure worked its way up my core and shot straight up toward my heart, making it flutter wildly. He straightened his back and arched it, giving me a delicious view of his abs. The white shirt he was wearing was practically see-through and it clung to him so tightly that it felt as if he would rip it off his body if he moved too fast. I gulped nervously and lowered my gaze.“ I am sorry to have taken so much time to reach you, please forgive me, my Luna.” He smiled. And my breath hitched, my heart forgot to beat and my jaws went slack. I tried not to let my gaze wander but focusing on his face was damn hard. Those soft lips of his, that perfect jawline with a light dusting of stubble, and then t

Chapter 60- Bring back our Luna

Malcolm It hurt like hell that after everything we shared, she turned around and walked away from me. Like I meant nothing to her. Like we hadn't shared a fated bond that tied our souls together, I shouldn't have been surprised that she could fight it. She had fought off her bond with Arden and even rejected him. I know it took her a lot of determination to do it but I wanted to believe that what we both shared was special and different. We had more than a bond, we had love. We loved each other. But as days rolled into weeks I began to doubt if she truly felt something for me. I was loaded with work in the pack. There were numerous meetings with the council elders trying to sort out the next line of action since Arden was dead and a new Alpha had to be announced to the people of Blood Moon Pack. The council elders were already pushing that I should be presented to the pack as their next Alpha because leaving the pack empty without an Alpha would draw the eyes of rogue wolves our way
