Bella“Is this some kind of fucking joke?!” I shout up at the sky. “Pleading with me not to die, and then you send me back to feel like this?”I knew there were guards all around me. Probably not knowing whether to approach me or assume that I have lost the plot. I didn’t care. I could have died and not had to deal with any of this shit. I could have gone where all the dead go, instead of feeling like my body was being ripped apart by my emotions. Emotions that I shouldn't even have to feel.Emotions, they make you weak.“And now I’m supposed to act like everything is normal?” I keep ranting at the Moon Goddess, hoping that she is listening to me. “With a fucking twin. Is that what you meant when you said I had left a piece of me behind?”I kick a rock into a tree and scream. "FUCKING ANSWER ME!"“Bella?” I turn to see Eli staring at me. An eyebrow cocked in curiosity. “Who are you shouting at?”“Just go away.”“Something tells me that it wouldn’t be a good idea.”“This has nothing t

Bella“I can assure you, Alpha. The Queen is most definitely pregnant.” Aslow is grinning from ear to ear. It would be the first pup of Aiden's. The first to be born in this newly formed pack.“How?” Aiden asks in shock“Really? Do you want me to draw you a picture?” I ask with annoyance.“That’s not what I meant. I am more than happy. But you shouldn’t have been able to shift.” He smiles, “At least now it explains why you have been so tired and......” He trails off, moving around the bed and kissing my cheek, “Congratulations.”I return the smile, but deep down, I wasn’t sure what I felt.“Just the one?” Aiden asks Aslow.“Just the one.” He confirms, giving me a tissue to wipe the gel from my stomach.“At least Connor will have someone to play with now.” Aiden is still beaming as he curls his fingers around mine. His happiness is infectious and I find my confusing thoughts fading away.Aslow gives us some time alone. Aiden plies me with kisses. His smile does not falter for one momen

AidenGargled sounds come out of her neck, little air bubbles creeping through the blood as it oozes out of her. I purposely hadn’t sunk my teeth deep enough. Just deep enough so that she couldn’t heal quick enough. I wanted her death to be slow and painful. And if we were true mates, I would have felt it, instead, I feel nothing.As I spit her flesh from my mouth, Amelia’s hands flap. Her eyes grew wide with fear as she scrambles at her missing throat. Her eyes flicker to Bella, looking for help. Bella doesn’t move from her seat. Her face was still, her rampant heart slows. Her eyes focus on no one but Amelia.No one moves as Amelia’s body slumps back in the chair. The light dims in her eyes as her brain starves of oxygen. Even I knew it was a cruel way to go, but protecting Bella is my number one priority and will be for the rest of my life. No one is getting in between us again.“Get rid of the body!” I order Leighton as Amelia’s heart stops. “I don’t want to look at her for anothe

Bella. Aiden looks alarmed, “As in to eat? You wanted blood to feed your hunger? Like a Vampire?” “No. I felt this intense rage to kill. I don’t really remember why, or what happened.” I shake my head and my copper hair falls around my face. I was desperate for a shower, my hair was so matted and I smelled like old iron. “It’s like there is a blank spot of time, but I remember what I felt.” I pause to look at his face. There was that look again. “I mean it Aiden, everything is just blank. I left the house with Katie and Aiden. We had been in a few shops. I even remember Katie choosing some fancy underwear because she is going on a date. We came out and then I was here.” I frown at the room and pull at my clothes. “I don’t even remember buying this.” “Maybe you just need some more rest. Maybe after everything, your body is going in to some sort of protection mode. For the pup.” “Protection mode? Aiden, you know as well as I do, I don’t kill for fun. But from what you have told me

BellaRubbing my eyes, I sit up in bed, surprised to see Leighton sitting on a chair in the corner of the room, watching me.“He’s told you then?” I mutter, yawning.“The lack of scent gave you away. Normally you stink.” He smiles at me and I couldn’t help but smile back. “By the way, happy birthday.”“Where is he?” I mumble, ignoring his well wishes.“Just doing a few jobs, he asked me to sit with you and keep you company."“So I can’t even sleep alone?”“No, not while you are unable to protect yourself.”“Pfft, I can still fight.”“Not for much longer, the way that pup is growing” He points to my round belly. “You look like you are about to pop.”“I’ve got ages yet.”“Not if it is a Hybrid, and at the rate you are growing, I would say you’ve maybe got a month or so left, tops.”Climbing off the bed, I am grateful that I had slept in one of Aiden’s massive tees. Looking down at my bump, Leighton is right, it was big. “I’m sure Aiden has told you that Hybrids develop faster.”“He tol
