All Chapters of Claimed By Alpha Xander Marco: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Bella's POVMy head felt heavy, everything around me seemed blurry, as if I were looking through thick fog.I blinked several times, trying to clear my vision and then the room slowly came into focus.What happened that I slept much like that because the last thing I remembered was drinking tea.After that.... I couldn't remember anything else.A strange uneasiness settled in my chest and I slowly turned my head to the side.And got completely frozen in spot.Someone was sitting beside my bed, my heart nearly stopped staring at the person face. Andrew, xander's bodyguard. The sight confused me so much that for a second I couldn't even speak."Andrew?" I whispered hoarsely.His head immediately snapped toward me, relief flooded his face."Lady Bella," he said quickly as he stood from the chair beside the bed. "You're awake.""What happened?" I asked weakly, pushing myself up.Before he could answer, the bedroom door suddenly burst open.The loud sound made me jump it was xander standi

Bella's POVThe unspoken sound his footsteps had made fell harder than any thing he'd ever said.After the door shut, I spent a long time sitting on the edge of the bed, holding my tears in my eyes and staring at nothing.My hands were trembling and my heart hurt so badly I could barely breathe.I still couldn't understand what had just happened.One moment I had been excited because he was finally home.The next moment he was looking at me like I was a stranger.Like I had betrayed him. As if something priceless had been lost in between.A sob escaped my throat and I quickly covered my mouth.I didn't want the twins waking up, I didn't want them seeing me like this."What happened?" I spoke into the empty room and my words were cracked and fractured.I wiped my tears and forced myself to think, ut every time I tried, my memories stopped at the same place.I remembered bathing the twins. I remembered playing with them. I remembered waiting for Xander to come home. I remembered asking

Bella's POVFive days had passed since I last saw Xander.Five days, drawn out long enough, since he'd walked out of our room without turning around. Five days since he had stared at me as though I were a complete stranger instead of the woman he once loved. Five days since everything I believed in had shattered around me, leaving nothing but heartbreak and unanswered questions behind.Standing beside the large bedroom window, I stared down at the gardens below. The afternoon sunlight bathed the colorful flowers in golden light, making the entire landscape look peaceful and beautiful. Somewhere outside, I could hear the twins laughing with one of the nannies. Their cheerful voices drifted through the open balcony doors, carried by the gentle breeze.Normally, hearing them laugh would have brought an immediate smile to my face but today, it only made my chest ache.Because every time I looked at them, I saw him. Our son had Xander's eyes while our daughter had his smile. Every little t

Bella's POVWhen Xander walked in my heart began pounding with such frenzy that I could hear it. For five endless days, I had waited for him. Five days of silence. Five days of crying myself to sleep. Five days of staring at doors, hallways, and windows, hoping for a glimpse of him. Five days of wondering whether he would ever come back to me.And now he was here, standing only a few feet away.....yet somehow, he felt farther than ever.Physically, there was nothing between us but in the emotional way, our distance seemed to stretch like the length of an ocean, its waves black and impenetrable.I slowly set down the book on the table next to me that I had been pretending to read. My hands shook like honey mustard and I was ready to set it aside because of my frustration! I hated that he could probably see it. Hated that he could see exactly how much power he still held over me.“Xander...” I whispered, feeling something tighten in my throat at once as my emotions squeezed it.The look

Xander's POVSleep never came.No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't force my mind to rest. Darkness was closing in on every corner of the room, and the silence seemed like a burden that couldn't be lifted, as I lay on my bed, gazing up at the ceiling. I forgot hours passed, maybe more, but eventually not much more. Every time I closed my eyes, Bella appeared before me crying and begging me to listen.Looking at me as though I was the only person capable of saving her.I turned onto my side and grumbled beneath my breath, frustration twisting around in my system.Why couldn't I stop thinking about her? I'd already made my decision. Hadn't I?Andrew had confessed. There were photographs, evidence, proof. Each one of those facts led me to the same conclusion—still and all, I felt my chest weighing too much.My wolf hadn't stopped pacing since I returned to the mansion. All of the time, I felt his restlessness under my skin. Every few mins another growl would crawl through my mind, exc
