~ Nathan’s POVI was so shocked when I saw the video of Grey and I and my thoughts wandered to Bella. I hope she has not seen the pictures so that she won’t think have resorted to all bad things. Albert was still laughing so hard, finding the whole thing hilarious.“Who could have done this?” I asked him again.“How will I know that?” He said, still laughing.Just then some guards came into the pack doctor’s office to take some medication, on seeing me, they all started congratulating me on my new relationship with Grey.“But didn’t you say that you were into girls the last time you guys fought? Were you shy to tell us your taste?” One of them asked me.“There is nothing going on between Grey and I, guys. It was just a total misunderstanding,” I said.“It’s nothing illegal and you shouldn’t be shy about that,” one of them said again.“Congratulations once again,” they all chorused and then left the office. I was dumbfounded, watching them leave.Albert burst into laughter as well but

~Isabella's POVYou're just starved for affection, Isabella. There's no way in hell you would actually ever want to belong to a pack like this, so full of toxicity and poison, with everyone trying to tear each other down and trample on the weaker wolves. I shuddered as I thought to myself.My gaze inadvertently met Alpha Damien's again, his eyes cold and assessing. The weight of his gaze felt like an invisible tether, a reminder that my presence here was subject to scrutiny. I shifted uncomfortably, a subtle acknowledgment of the delicate balance I was trying to maintain.Lilian returned to my side, her tray now laden with a selection of savory dishes. She placed them before me with a measured efficiency, her eyes briefly locking with mine in an unspoken exchange. The air crackled with an undercurrent of tension, the unsaid words lingering like a veil."Enjoy your meal," she murmured, the words carrying a cryptic undertone. With a final, almost imperceptible nod, she moved away, seaml

~Isabella's POVThey exchanged uneasy glances, realizing that their attempt at casual gossip had escalated into a confrontation. The atmosphere in the bathroom had shifted, tension hanging thick in the air.And then, they took it a step further. "Did you see her hair? It's like she doesn't even own a brush," the first girl sneered, her tone dripping with contempt."Right? And those clothes, she needs a stylist ASAP," the second girl added, joining in the disparaging remarks.I felt a pang in my chest, the cruel words cutting deeper than I expected. The bathroom suddenly felt suffocating, and I needed to escape the toxicity.Before they could conjure up more insults or excuses, I turned on my heel and walked out of the bathroom, leaving them with the weight of their words. The encounter had left me with a bitter taste, but I refused to let their negativity make my night even worseAs I returned to the dining room, the charged atmosphere from before seemed even more palpable.He still i

~ Damien’s POVWhat the hell is wrong with me? Why would I love Bella? I muttered to myself as I walked back to my room. I was a bit taken aback when I found my room to be dark. I went to the switch and I was so surprised when I found Lillian sitting on my bed naked.I threw one of my clothes at her, asking her to cover herself up and leave my room.“Why won’t you look at me, Alpha Damien?” She asked. “It’s late, Lillian. Get out of my room and don’t you ever come into my room in my absence,” I said.“You not getting mad at me shows that you truly want me, Damien. What we had that night wasn’t a mistake, the feelings were mutual,” she said, walking towards me, still not putting on her clothes or the one I gave her.“That night was a mistake and such will never happen again, Lillian,” I said.She started caressing my body and this aroused me. I moaned inwardly and when I saw that it was getting out of my control, I yelled at her.“Stop this nonsense at once, Lillian. You are still at

~ Nathan’s POVI stared into Albert's wide scared eyes, unable to comprehend what was happening at that moment. He let out a small groan and stumbled against me as Grey yanked out the knife. Snapping out of my disbelief and haze, I hurriedly pulled Albert closer to myself. Trying my best to ignore the warm pulses of blood that I felt spurting over my hand, I carefully pulled Albert closer to me and laid him on the ground, trying my best not to hurt him further. He reached out weakly as he tried to grab onto my hand. I looked down at him and he was weakly trying to shake his head while also trying to say something. I bent down to him to hear what he had to say properly."Don't… leave him… if you…" He could barely gasp out his words. I grabbed onto his hand that was fiercely clenching onto my hand with my other one as I tried to calm him down. "Shh… Albert, don't speak. I'll take you to the pack doctor. Just try to reserve your breath, okay?""Nath… Brad, do not fight with him… he is…
