Bella's POV I froze in my spot. It still felt surreal, almost like I was in a dream or some kind of trance. No matter how hard I tried to think about it, I just couldn't wrap my head around it. What were the odds that I was going to bump into him here, of all places too? If there was anything this proved, it was the fact that the goddess hated me. Nothing more, nothing less.Another explanation that could really fit this scenario, was the fact that I was cursed. If I wasn't, I wouldn't a shit ton of bad luck following me around.“Bella?” The sound of my name was all it took to pull me out of my thoughts. Again, I was glued to my seat. I had thought that if I ignored him for long enough, he would leave me alone. I didn't want to be around Leo that night, and I still didn't want to be around him now. Why didn't the moon goddess get this and grant my wish to be as far away from him as possible. “Didn't you hear me?”I said nothing. I had no idea what I wanted to say to him. Was I sup
Bella’s povI winced when the needle pierced my arm, the doctor gave me a gentle smile.“I forgot to warn you that it will hurt,” he said.“It’s okay,” I said.It was. I would do absolutely everything for my sister. Kate needed blood and I was a match, not that it was a problem.I would search the world to find her blood type if I wasn’t.The doctor took out the needle and carried the blood out to the lab. I gently stood up to avoid getting dizzy.My head swayed but I held onto the chair, I had to be near my sister. I didn’t want to be away from her.I headed back to her room , the dark spots dancing around my vision. I got to her room and I was surprised to find it locked.We had asked for a private room but I left the door open just in case. I placed my hand on the handle when a shiver ran through me.I furrowed my brows.I turned the knob and pushed the door open, my eyes narrowed on the two figures on the bed, naked.I bowed my head, “I am so sorry,” I mumbled.Afraid that I just
Bella’s pov“What?” I asked,“I was wondering if you would follow me to go buy the ring, our mating ceremony is coming up soon.” Kate said.Her grin was the opposite of the sneer on my face,“Your what?” I asked.“My ring, Leo knows how much I need you by my side so what do you say, will you go with me?”I looked at her, her eyes were hopeful while mine was filled with dread.“N…no, I am busy, I am sorry.”“Why not?”“I am sure you don’t want me there, Kate.”She narrowed her eyes at me like she knew something was wrong, “Bella? You are acting weird,”I chuckled nervously, “no, I am just exhausted and in no mood to shop for rings,”Kate’s smile .“Not everyone has to add to the cake of your love." This was the first time I had rejected my sister, who had always been spoiled by my stepmother and me.His hands moved to rub Kate’s shoulders and my eyes followed the movement.“I am sorry, Kate. I would have to sit this one out.”Kate nodded like she understood me. Normally, I would move t
Bella’s povI got to the cell and my eyes watered instantly, my father was buttered and he was sitting like a common slave.“Dad,” the words choked on a sob.His head weakly came up and his eyes widened when he saw me standing there, he rushed to the doors as fast as his weak body could carry him.“Bella, what are you doing here?”“I came to see you. I don’t want you to be alone here.”His eyes softened, “I am fine, get out of here.”My hands clenched and unclenched by my side, “who did this?”My father sighed knowing that I wasn’t going till I got some answers.“Alpha Leo,” my father said, his tone resigned.I didn’t ask what he did, I didn’t want to know.“I am going to get you out of there.” I promised.My father nodded weakly but his eyes said he trusted me.I gave his hand a squeeze before leaving.“Take me to Alpha Leo,”Jason nodded, he didn’t argue or try to stop me. My hands trembled but I urged my body to remain calm till we got to the Alpha’s office.Jason went in first and
“You are serious?”He nodded.Anger like no other wrapped around my body like a strong vine. I made sure my voice was controlled enough to get my point across.“You have got to be kidding me. You have some nerve rejecting me and asking me to stay here and watch you frolic with my sister.”“Bella…”“Don’t say my name. I don’t care what you have to do, release my father today.”“You'd rather become a rogue…”He let the sentence hang there but I finished it,“I'd rather become a rogue than be your mistress.”His eyes widened like he couldn’t believe me, his lips thinned and words dried up in his lips but I was done.I was done letting them hurt me.I lifted my chin and in my most steady voice, I said,His hand shot up to grab me, I looked up and I was marveled by the amusement in his eyes.“You and I both know that you will regret not taking my offer," he smirked.“I won't”“Bella, be smart about this. You need me so stop being so stubborn and be where you are supposed to be, by my side.
Leo’s povI sat in my office, some pack member’s transfer papers waiting for me to sign but I kept it aside.I sighed as I leaned against the chair, my mind in turmoil because it constantly thought of Bella, and the hold she had on me.The look in her eyes when she rejected me made me so mad that I found myself chucking the papers across the room.It missed hitting my beta, Micheal. He raised his brow at me in question and I shook my head.“Trouble in paradise?” He asked,I found myself nodding, “you could say that.”His eyes widened like he couldn’t believe the words that came out of my mouth. Well, I couldn’t believe it either.He took a seat and folded his hands as he waited for me to talk, he shook his head and stood up.“Let’s go to the training room. Sitting like this and talking about it makes me wonder…”I huffed a laugh, and stood.We made our way to the training room, finding it empty.I took off my shirt and he followed suit and we began sparring. Micheal was the perfect pa
Bella’s povI paced nervously in front of his office, my head figuring out a million ways to approach this topic. Behind the door was a very powerful man who would help me fight but was reluctant.He had taken me into his home and taken care of me and it still felt like I was about to take advantage of his kindness.My wounds aren't healing but they were being taken care of and I was more than grateful.I lifted a tentative hand and knocked on the door.“Come in,” his husky voice rumbled.I twisted the knob and stepped in, his head shot up and his gaze met mine.“Good morning,” he said.I nearly swooned at the sound of his voice.“Good morning,”He gestured to the chair with his eyes and I plopped my ass on it.“What is the matter?”I sighed and chewed my lips, unsure of where to start.“I need your help,”His brows furrowed but he didn’t say anything as he waited for me to continue,“Alpha Leo locked my father in prison for something he didn’t do. I heard you have the power to get an
Bella’s povI looked at the watch in my hands, it was pretty but not manly enough. I needed something that would catch his attention.I am sure he thought I had given up but no, I had one more trick up my sleeve. I was going to pester him to help me.While I sealed the deal with Leo by leaving the pack, I didn’t trust him enough to go by his words. He was not to be trusted.I needed my father out of there by all means and Arthur can do it then I would damn make sure he does.I placed the watch back in its holder and moved on to the next thing. A mug but I shook my head, it's too simple.I huffed as I looked around the shop, I wanted to buy him a little something to bribe him into helping me.Since I wasn't getting any luck coming empty handed.Beta Collins rounded the isle next to me with concern on his face.“Found what you wanted?”“Not yet,” I shook my head.He looked at me with amusement but said nothing.“Come on, tell me that your Alpha likes,”“What makes you think I know what
