I couldn't take my eyes from him, I stayed frozen staring in shock. My heart was thumping wildly, threatening to break out of the rib cage. "No." I sat back on the bed, my breaths coming out in pant. I wrapped the duvet around my body, also using it to clean the blood off my face. I could still feel the metallic taste of blood, his blood. I knew it would only take a few seconds before they found out.No, he would kill me.My eyes watered and I stared down at my hands and up at the room, the ground painted with blood. I did not let her out. No! She forced her way through!I started sobbing when I heard hurried footsteps in the hallway, just before the door burst open forcefully. I expected to see the guards or maybe somebody else, but Damien stood at the open door, his eyes burning with anger. He looked like he was about to explode in rage.About three guards stepped into the room, their faces mirroring shock, but when their eyes landed on me, rage and despair flashed in them.Damien
"Shit!" Noah cussed, moving away from the table. "We need to do something.""I know that Noah." This is so much trouble, fuck that stealer. "Gather enough men, this ain't gonna be easy." I dismissed the guard and continued pacing around the room."We can't fight them.""I know that Noah, but I'm confused here." Fighting them was stupid, we killed their alpha. They have the full right to take revenge."Hey." I looked up at Noah when he walked closer to me. "I have an idea.""And what is that?""Hand the stealer over to them, it's a win-win on both sides. You get rid of her, the pack is safe and they take revenge on the person who killed their alpha." "What?" That definitely doesn't sound good to me, I still have a lot to do with her. They aren't the only ones who lost somebody because of her, she killed a lot of people. I can't just let her go. "There's no way I'm doing that." I deadpanned, letting him sense the seriousness in my voice."Huh?" He scoffed. "What the hell has gone wrong
"You can't get her." I deadpanned, ready to turn around to leave the place."Then it results in war." The alpha son replied, an angry look on his face."Do you really want to go into war with the Bloodbath pack?" Noah asked, hissing menacingly. Just like I did, he knew they wouldn't be able to defeat us. They were no match for us and going into war means digging their own grave.The beta and son stared at each other, obviously mind linking. I could tell they were considering their actions. "What's your response, compensation or war?" Noah asked impatiently. I felt a little bit relieved that he agreed to not releasing the stealer to them."We have a very large plot of land at Santiago de Querétaro in Mexico, at the north side of the city. You could probably turn it into a farmland if you want." That was all we could give to them, besides their alpha also killed a lot of alpha's and abducted the entire pack members in an effort to make his pack larger."What else?" The beta asked, lookin
"What?" Linda was taken aback and moved swiftly away from me. "What do you mean?" The look of shock and disbelief was evident on her face."Yes I mean it Linda. Kill me. Just end it please." I knew perfectly well what I was saying. I'm just a problem to a lot of people, my curse has done a bad number on innocent people. What's the point staying alive? Besides, nobody likes me, not even my mate."Are you-" She stopped and scoffed, looking at me disbelievingly. "No way, I can't do that." She shook repeatedly, rolling her eyes."Come on, please. That's the only way I can end this chaos." I clasped my palm together, trying to convince her."Bella, this is insane!" A frown morphed on her face and she moved away from me, standing up from the floor."Insane?! You know what's more insane? Being tortured by my own mate, who pretends he doesn't fill the mating pull and would watch while I'm sexually humiliated! He's the one who's insane, your alpha's insane!" Anger fueled in me, if she wasn't he
"Hey stealer, get up!" My body jolted awake when a foot landed painfully on my arm. I winced at the pain that coursed through my arm before getting up from the ground. An older woman stood above me, her face morphed into an annoyed frown. There were two guards beside her, their faces clouded with hate."Who are you?" My eyes narrowed as I looked at her."Such disrespectful bitch." She hissed loudly and glared at me. "Keep all questions to yourself and get up like I said."Her voice was loud but not enough to make me succumb to her orders. "Like I asked also, who are you?" I was going to make sure everyone here gets the note that I'm not weak.She hissed and turned to guards. "Drag her along, I don't have time for this." She ordered and stormed out of the basement.The guards came to me like she ordered and grabbed my hands roughly, pulling me from the ground. "Hey, let me go." I snarled but they did not even budge. They dragged me up the stairs, not caring as my feet hit against the st
I closed my eyes and let out repeated short breaths, trying to make the pain go away. My hands trembled as I stood up from the ground, planting my gaze on the floor. Why would he do that?"Out!" The maids scurried out of the kitchen at his single command.Fear coursed through me when it was just the both of us in the kitchen. "What the hell were you trying to do?" He barked with so much venom in his voice.I couldn't answer, there was absolutely nothing to see. How could I tell him I was blinded by rage so I attacked. That's a big no, he wouldn't even believe me. "Bella." He scoffed and moved closer to me, leaning down his placed his lips close to my ears. "If you ever try to hurt any member of my pack Bella, I would kill you in the worst ways ever." His voice came out as a whisper, then he moved away from me."You can just kill me now." Anger coursed through me, I was tired of being treated like nothing but a piece of trash, he should just kill me since my existence is nothing but th
Bella's POVI returned to my room after a few hours of working in the kitchen. My waist hurts a lot from standing for so long. I shut the door and walked to the small bed, lying on it. My eyes closed on their own and I heaved out a sigh of relief. My entire body felt weak and drained, the girls never came back. I was left to work with other woman, Nina. She did little or no job, leaving me to do everything. My body felt numb as I laid on the small bed, all strength drained out of me. As much as I wanted to sleep right now, Damien's words echoed in my ears. "You got a lot to do tonight." What does he mean by that? Shivers ran down my body when I remembered the events at the hall. He wasn't going to do something like that again right? My hands went to the shackle on my neck, my fingers running over it. I understood immediately that it must be the reason he put the shackle on my neck. Whatever plan he had, he wanted me weak so he could carry it out. I turned around the bed, pushing her t
"Hey, don't worry, okay? everything will be fine." She placed her hands on my shoulders in a comforting manner."No, it's fine. I'm fine." I shook my head, heaving out a small sigh. I wasn't going to worry about this, just like before I'll accept my cruel fate just the way it is."Well.." Linda scratched her head nervously, looking towards the door. "I better leave now, they'll be here anytime soon." I hated that shivers ran down my spine when she said those words. The shackle around my neck made it worse, reminding me how hopeless I am."It's fine, you better go before they meet you here." I replied in contrast to what I had in mind. I needed someone to stay with me, and give me a few encouraging words before they came. The thoughts of what might possibly happen grew fear. Heavens! I've never felt so afraid before."Hey, it'll be fine." She placed her hands on my shoulders, a sympathetic look on her face. "Just don't try to let her out, he isn't a weak alpha. He might-""Linda, it's f
