Bella's povUpon receiving the news of Theresa's death, I let out a faint sigh. The madness of that woman had finally come to an end, bringing peace to both herself and others.Today, my mate Haydn was set to duel Barnett. Haydn intended to teach Barnett a lesson, but Barnett's attitude was somewhat strange. Since the day I woke up, his gaze towards me had become inscrutable—not filled with hatred, but rather a complex mixture of sorrow and regret. It seemed like he had something to say to me, but I had no desire to share the same space with him; I turned away whenever I encountered him.I entered Haydn's room; he had just finished changing into his warrior attire. Part of his body was encased in tough leather armor, but not all of it. Many of Haydn's muscles remained exposed. I reached out and squeezed the bicep on his arm; it was firm, much harder than mine. Haydn chuckled lightly, intentionally relaxing his muscles for my touch. Annoyed, I delivered a punch to his chest."Keep this
Bella's povHaydn slowly took off his clothes, and his once intact body was now covered in wounds."Does it hurt?" I gently touched his wound, furrowing my brows in distress."Not too much," Haydn grabbed my hand, pressing his face against my palm. I knew he was just trying not to worry me, so I kissed his forehead to comfort him."Let me clean your wounds." I wiped away the bloodstains on Haydn's body with a clean cloth and applied some ointment.Haydn drank the wound-healing potion, waiting for his injuries to mend.Strangely, the wounds were healing very slowly.There were two main types of potions for treating wounds, the basic blue version for minor injuries and the upgraded green version for severe injuries. Haydn had taken the green potion, which should have shown significant signs of healing. However, contrary to expectations, his wounds were healing at an unusually slow pace."Oh, Haydn, your wounds have stopped healing, and they're bleeding again." I hurriedly covered the wo
Bella's povHaydn lifted Barnett's hand from my shoulder with force, delivering a solid punch to Barnett's face."Bella is my mate, the future Luna Queen. You have no right to touch her. If I see you lay a finger on her again, I'll cut off your hands," Haydn stared dangerously at Barnett.Barnett was extremely unwilling; he wanted to argue that Bella had once been his mate, but he was merely an Alpha of a pack, while Haydn was the Alpha King of the entire kingdom. In both status and power, he couldn't compare to Haydn. Therefore, in this moment, in this situation, he had no choice but to submit."As you command," Barnett said, kneeling on one knee, hand over his chest, head bowed in response.Haydn took my hand, disregarding Barnett on the ground, and we left the library together. Unbeknownst to us as we walked away, Barnett stared at us with a resentful gaze.Haydn and I returned to my room. As soon as the door closed, Haydn eagerly pressed me against the wall, his kiss possessive an
Bella's povRecently, I've developed a love for reading medical books at the library, particularly those related to medicine. However, there are parts of the medical texts that I find confusing. So today, I decided to go to the Royal Palace Pharmacy to study.As I walked through a corridor, I reached the entrance of the pharmacy.The door opened, and I saw a man with distinct green hair standing there, engrossed in manipulating a pile of potions. He seemed focused, not noticing my arrival.Knock, Knock, Knock.The knocking finally caught his attention."Hello, Miss Bella," he looked up and smiled at me. It was only then that I noticed his eyes were also green, though a shade darker than his hair."Sorry to disturb you," I entered the room, and he gestured for me to sit."Not at all. I'm Nolan Wells. How can I assist you?" Dr. Nolan Wells seemed friendly and willing to help."Dr. Wells, may I seek your guidance on some medical knowledge?" Being a pharmacist is a highly respected profes
Bella’s povTime passed quickly. The Alphas who had come to the royal city before gradually returned to their own packs. The next time they come here will be to attend my and Haydn's wedding.I have been diligently studying medical knowledge lately and have made a firm decision to become a qualified pharmacist. After getting acquainted with Dr. Wells, I went to the pharmacy again to consult him about medical knowledge. Unfortunately, his assistant informed me that Dr. Wells had been secluded, researching something. Not wanting to disturb him, I decided to continue studying on my own.After a few days, I decided to take a break and go out to the streets. Interestingly, I hadn't explored the local market here in the royal city since I arrived."Haydn, I want to go out for a while. Would you like to join me?" I went to Haydn's study, inviting him to accompany me. He had been busy lately, and I hadn't seen him take a break. I thought this could be an opportunity for him to relax a bit."O
Bella’s povIn a hazy state, I felt as though someone was touching my forehead. My consciousness gradually cleared, and suddenly I remembered what happened before I lost consciousness. Those bandits knocked me out! I jolted awake, wide-eyed.Panting, I widened my eyes but unexpected to see a young girl. She awkwardly withdrew her hand."You're awake," the girl said and then coughed violently. "Cough, cough, cough...""Who are you?" It was a small room with nailed windows and a closed door. "Where am I?""I'm Judy," the girl said, easing up a bit with an apologetic look. "I don't know where this is either." Judy continued coughing, then the door opened, and a little girl walked in.It was the girl who stole my money!"It's you!" I immediately tried to stand up but failed due to dizziness.The little girl brought a cup of water and handed it to Judy. "Sister, are you feeling unwell again?"These two turned out to be sisters. What was their connection to the people who kidnapped me?"Jan
Haydn's POVAfter a lengthy meeting, I returned to my library. It was around noon, so I ordered a simple meal and quickly finished it. The documents on my table were still piled up.With no time to rest, I focused on them again. Just then, a subordinate knocked and said he had something urgent to report. I allowed."Your Majesty, Miss Bella has been kidnapped. The six guards who accompanied her this morning were found dead in a secluded corner of a street by patrolling soldiers." Concerned about the future Queen Luna, the subordinate didn't dare to delay and immediately reported to the king upon receiving the news.I stood up immediately, and my extreme anger made me snap the pen in my hand.“Who dared to snatch my mate! “My emotions were a mix of anger and regret. Bella had invited me to go out with her in the morning, but I was busy with work and declined her invitation. If I had gone with her, this kidnapping wouldn't have happened.Aidan: It was your fault!Aidan was already furi
Bella’s povIn the dark night, I and a dozen other girls struggled forward under the coercion of the kidnappers. In the dimly lit underground passage, we walked for what felt like an eternity before finally emerging.The kidnappers took us into a vehicle, and after some time, the vehicle came to a stop in a small mountain village. It seemed to be the headquarters of these villains. Our eyes were not blindfolded when we entered. They weren't afraid of us escaping because, in addition to the dozen kidnappers who had just returned, there were a total of twenty or thirty people. They were robust, armed, and not someone we, weak women, could resist.We were locked in another house. The day had not yet dawned, and after the long journey and lack of sleep, many girls continued to sleep. Sighing, besides sleeping, it seemed like there was nothing else to do.I lay on my side, preparing to catch up on sleep. At this moment, a small figure lay down beside me. It was Jane."Jane, is there someth
