Why Didn't Jacob Imprint On Bella Novels & Stories

Simon blurted, feeling an unintended anger surge through him. Luscious furrowed his brows. "Why is that? And don't give me the crap of recounting her past to me. I am well aware of it all." "So it's safe to ask if you are out of your bloody mind!" "What do you mean?" "Do you even know the repercussions of being with someone like Kara? She would make you an outcast, which isn't good for your position as the next Beta." "Then I don't have to become Beta if she is by my side. I have enough money to last me a lifetime. I am in love with this woman."

I told her with a voice a little higher than usual. "Fine." I saw her shrug her shoulders but she didn't move away. Instead, she crossed her arms over her chest and tilted her body so she was facing my side. "So tell me, why aren´t you marked yet? Is the Beta having second thoughts on claiming you? You know, usually, when fated mates meet, they claim and marked each other right on the spot. Like they don't want to be far from each other. That´s the usual story. I was curious why the Beta didn´t claim you in an instant... Maybe," This was it. I was so done being the good girl Alia.

Just because of my rejection? What I didn’t fully understand was why it went that far. I knew it would affect his standing, his claim to the throne. Yes. But was our betrothal so sacred, so politically vital, that it warranted exiling their own son and heir? Or was there something else—something darker, that I had triggered? My train of thought was shattered by a knock at the door. “Who is it?” “It’s Ivanna. The Beta seeks your audience, My Lady." The Beta? That's new.

“Did the Luca family get relocated?” “Yes, relocated with a cover.” Marcus chuckled, “And I confirmed that Alex Bennet is healing after last night too,” “Good, he was a good show of strength, so people know we mean business. What about-” that was then. I smelt the overwhelming scent of strawberries and knew that my mate was lingering nearby. I jumped up from my desk to go find her. She was standing i the hallways looking uncertain. I got a sense of unease from her, like her mind was conflicted. I hated that we hadn’t mated because I couldn’t mind link with her yet but knew better than to try to force my mark on her. In fact, the growling that happened inside my head from both the monster and

Max. I sat on the edge of my bed, staring blankly at the wall as the memories flooded my mind. Bella. My Bella. The one who got away. Why didn't I take her as my mate when I had the chance? Why did I let Layla deceive me? I thought back to the day I met Bella. Her sparkling eyes, her bright smile, her infectious laugh. I was drawn to her like a magnet. But I was young, foolish, and blinded by my own ego.

“I’m getting late for a meeting. Please, spare me the drama.” I waved my wrist in front of my face, checking my watch like his bride’s disappearance was little more than a scheduling inconvenience. “It’s your headache where your bride-to-be goes, not mine.” Let him wear his shoes thin running around the house. Bella wasn’t going anywhere. Not until I decided she’d had enough.I turned, about to walk off, satisfied that the cage below had served its purpose.

"Right. Nothing." "Liam," Ethan warned. "What? We're all thinking it. Might as well say it." Liam looked at Bella finally, and she saw guilt warring with something else in his blue eyes. "Marcus isn't stupid. He sees the way we…" He stopped. "He sees things." "What things?" Bella demanded. "Nothing is happening." "Not yet," Liam said quietly. The words were a punch to the gut. "I need air." Bella grabbed her coffee and escaped to the backyard, her hands shaking so badly

He smiled. "Hey, have you seen Rain?" Cole asked. Before they could replied, Bella screamed, "Jacob Daniels is here!" With that said, she passed out. "Should I be worried that my girlfriend got starstruck by you?" He asked as Jacob just laughed. They put Bella on the couch, "starstruck?" I asked. "Yup." They all answered. I laughed. Bella is a big fan. "Sorry for fainting." She said sheepishly. "Big fan."

“I guess my reputation announces my presence before I do.” He stepped in closer, a teasing smile tugging at his lips. “Cat got your tongue, Bella? This is usually the part where you introduce yourself since you already know my name, it’s only fair I get yours.” But she wasn’t listening. In her head, she was screaming: I JUST KISSED JACE FREAKING CARTER He kept watching her, waiting for a response. But before she could recover, a friend of his walked up and whispered something in his ear.

But I want to believe them, deep down I know that to a certain degree it's been my own doubt that has kept me from moving on. There's nothing I can do about Jazz, but Bella is a wholly different matter. My sweet, frustrated Bella, who seems to be reconciling herself with another eve spent reading in bed and cuddling until we both fall asleep wrapped around each other. I might be wrong, but suddenly I feel like I have to disappoint my birthday girl. She lets out a dismal shriek when I grab her from behind, trapping her arms between our bodies while my hand in her hair wrenches her head back, baring the long line of her throat to me. I hungrily kiss
