Why Didn't Jacob Imprint On Bella Novels & Stories

“Bound Rejected. Unaligned.” Silence fell. “You will advise,” she continued. “Not as alpha. Not as mate. But as one who walks between.” My stomach twisted. This was not coincidence. This was a test. “If I refuse?” I asked quietly. “Then you will be escorted out,” she said. “And she will be returned.” The girl let out a broken sound. I looked at her, really looked. Bruises hidden beneath glamour spells. Fear masked by defiance. A bond scar at her neck, raw and inflamed.

She seemed more confident and I had to admit I liked the change. Alex bowed before turning to leave. Bella watched me with tender eyes and I could easily see the uncertainty in them. "Here." I handed the document to her. "You'd want to go through that." Bella took the files and moved to the corner. I watched her expression closely as she went through the pages one by one. The grand reaction I'd been expecting never came. She was either a very good poker player or she honestly wasn't bothered about the terms of our agreement if she signed.

Almost immediately Jake appeared at my side, his smile charming and reassuring. "Hey, Bella, how's it going? I see you're getting a lot of attention today." He placed a possessive hand on my shoulder, and I felt a surge of unease. I knew he was just trying to save face in front of his employees deceiving them into believing we were a loving couple. Fake!

“Not only did she reject her higher ranking partner, but whoever they are did not accept, nor did they want this. They’re looking for her. And last, and most painful, her wolf is rejecting her, and her spirit. The wolf does not agree with the decision and is going to make it harder to run further.” “Yeah, that makes it more complicated…”Colton blows out a breath of air, their presence near, but I’m not sure how close they’ve come. I’m still a useless blob, unable to speak out and defend myself, distract them, anything to get them off this topic. I don’t need them discussing this further and figuring out who I am. Blue eyes swim in my memories, haunting me in this vast void of nothingness. “D

Then she bent down to pick them up. “I can’t help that you’re jumpy or clumsy I might say.” He took a sip of his drink. She looked at him with wide eyes. "I'm in a stranger's home, the lights were off and you decided to speak in your God awful deep voice. How else were you expecting me to react?" She was thinking about how he couldn't get the point of me being scared. “I’m your stepdad, Bella.” His presence was making her feel uncomfortable. She surely felt sexual desires for him and now he used his seductive tone which made things tougher for her.

“We got this. Don’t make her think you don’t want her.” “There’s no way I will not want her…” He blurted out respectfully and was about to turn around when he came face-to-face with Bella, Bellatrix’s Mom. “Where is Belle?” she asked. Hammond swallowed and pointed in the direction where Bellatrix went. “Is it true? You and Belle?” she asked again. He nodded. She beamed with happiness at him before her forehead creased. “Why did she run away? Let me go to her.” She was about to head to where Bellatrix disappeared when Uncle Trent’s arm snaked around her.

Bella stormed into the room, slamming the door behind her. She felt both embarrassed and angry about what had just happened to her. Just a few hours ago, she had been feeling happy celebrating her birthday. She had prayed to God that the night wouldn't end so quickly because she wanted to enjoy every moment with the man she loved. Intent on reciprocating all the gifts and kindness Edward had shown her, Bella had decided to initiate intimacy and serve him first. However, in the midst of their intimacy as they raced towards climax, Julia suddenly appeared. She screamed in anger, even grabbing Bella's hair, forcing her to get off Edward's body.

James shook his head slightly, trying to piece it together. Who was she? It wasn’t Luna Donna. It wasn’t Evelyn. So who? Is it the true alpha? His chest tightened at the thought of it. Could it be… the same woman? The thought hit him hard, making his head spin. “No…” he muttered under his breath, quickly shaking it off. “That’s… that’s crazy.” The more he thought about it, the more it felt like he was losing his mind. He forced himself to stop. His gaze shifted to Rachel who stood not too far away, her face filled with confusion, her brows slightly knitted together, clearly trying to make sense of everything she had just witnessed.

Slowly he raised his eyes, and Bella could see the fear in his chocolate gaze, but he continued to look her in the eyes despite the obvious difference in pack ranks. "I don't respond well to lies, Ethan Fletcher, so I will ask one more time. Who.gave.you.those.bruises?" Bella let the stranglehold she had on her power as a Beta born loose just enough to fuel her words with a hint of authority, and the Omega straightened, eyes ahead feeling violated as the words were ripped from his mouth by her power.

Instead, he stands and says, “that’s all for now.” Bella stands too. I catch myself following her out of the room and grabbing onto her arm to stop her. She turns around a look of surprise on her face. I let go hesitantly. What has gotten into me? “Are you alright?” She smiles softly. “I’m fine.” Bella’s POV “I’m fine.” He doesn’t seem to believe me. But I can’t find a single hint of pity in his expression. That makes me relax a bit. I came here knowing he was called in too. But I have no idea how he got involved in this, even after he strictly stated that he didn’t want to. It really isn’t my fault though, right?
