ANNABELLA’S POVContentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
” You better make up your mind, the alphaship of this pack will not be transferred to another family.” His stern tone made me hold my breath, I shut my eyes to calm my beating chest. This couldn’t be happening to me, no it couldn’t be happening. I wanted it to be a dream but unfortunately, it wasn’t.
My father was manipulating my life again without considering what I wanted.
” Does that mean you are ready to do anything?” I whispered, flipping my eyes open. Even though I knew the answer I still asked.
My expression was calm but very painful.” I will do anything to make that doesn’t happen.” He said and I bit my bottom lip in disappointment, he has always been that kind of man. His title and pack meant a lot to him. Maybe his family just that I didn’t matter that much to him.
” What about my happiness, are you going to always force me to your bidden?” I felt like I knew the answer to this as well.
” You can’t be happy without any of this, this pack was handed to me by my father and I won’t let it get out of my bloodline .”
” I do t need any of this to be happy, I already found my mate ” I stared up at his passive face. ” It doesn’t matter.” just like I thought.
” Your gift can help grow the pack, this pack can become the strongest in the continent I’m few years. You just have to cooperate with me ”
I suddenly felt like I was choking and for a moment I forgot my mom’s presence until I felt her hand around my shoulder. ” Calm down dear, everything will be fine.” It was easy to say.
So that was it, my abilities!
Was it hard for him to want me without this?
I should calm down. How was I supposed to do that when all I got from my family was betrayal?
Was my happiness a problem to them?” Were you even sick in the first place?” I asked my mom because I found all this a bit hard to believe.
They might have played me, they could have made up the story to get me here. ” I was sick and that wasn’t a lie. You cured me, remember?” She said and I stepped away from her to the window. My hand folded across my chest as I stared out the window, trying to get my breathing to normal.
My abilities, carry Summer’s pups. What the hell was this all about? Was this a nightmare?
” You can’t keep me here, you can’t force me into anything,” I said with tears in my eyes. It was painful, really painful to listen to all that. As if everything he has done to me wasn’t enough.
” The omegas will move your things to Summer’s room immediately. Everything can wait but the pack can’t,” he said and turned out of the room. My heart clenched in my chest as hatred filled my eyes.” Please don’t hate your father, he meant well.”
” Can you listen to yourself?” I snapped back at my mom suddenly, surprised at my outburst. smelling Eve’s present, I felt a bit worried.
I could feel my wolf pushing forward.” You push me to do things I don’t want to. ” Eve growled and my mom stepped back.
Eve seemed to have lost it and I could feel her pushing back. She was trying to access control and it was happening.
I was losing myself slowly as I hopelessly watched Eve push me back and take full control. I was sure my eyes were burning in flames as I watched my mom gasp.” Annabella, please don’t think like that. Your father is trying to save the pack.” She said with immersed shock bundled in her eyes, her heartbeat, increasing at every second.
My predatory steps never stopped as she kept stepping back.” Did you even care about me at all?” Her voice was far different from mine and I guess that was what alarmed her.
Eve didn’t seem patient. Her emotions were overtaking mine, anger was the only thing I could feel. ” Your father and I care about you, Annabella. We have always cared. ” She justified but Eve wasn’t taking that. She shook her head with disappointment.” Trying to force me to have a child with the man who rejected me is what you call, care?” she had everything to be angry but I had a bad feeling about it.
Eve didn’t seem like an ordinary wolf. There was more to my wolf!
” Do you realize what your action can cost me?” She growled and my mother’s back hit the door. ” I won’t allow you to take our mates from us, Summer was never meant for us,” Eve said in a clear melodious tone and my mom couldn’t help but widen her eyes. ” You are….” She pointed a finger with a lost voice.
” I’m Eve. Bella’s wolf.” she introduced herself.
” Roman will kill every wolf in this pack if anything happens to us.” She declared but my mother was a little deceptive her action to try to lure Eve into believing what she believed made her more angry.
” Your father is trying to make up for everything. Your marriage with Alpha Roman was a mistake and he is trying to give you everything back.” She said with a little relaxed face. Her words were interesting but Eve wasn’t me, she wouldn’t be able to deceive her like she did with me.
” Summer is your mate, remember? You will be with him again.” She smiled and Eve growled. ” I don’t want anything to do with that fool!”
” He was never wealthy of us anyway.” She added and my mother tried to hold me but she growled at her face.
” If this pack needs to perish then so shall it be.” Eve was everything I wasn’t but standing up to my mother was hush.
” I will walk out of this place, let’s see who dares to stop me.” Her words frightened my mom as she tried to hold me back but with Eve in control, I slipped through the door with a violent look in my eyes.
Her determination to get us out was wealth applauding but I wasn’t sure if that was possible.
I also wanted to get out of the shadow pack but not to the point of losing my life. ” Annabella.” I heard my mom’s voice behind me, Eve was already mad at her and every one of my family members. ” Sorry, I can’t let you leave. ” I heard my mother say as she suddenly shifted into her brown wolf and jumped in front of me.
I was trying to get Eve to give me control but she wasn’t paying heed to me.
She kept saying she would get us out of the pack because she didn’t want to kill anyone.
‘ Eve, get us back in the room.’ I knew my father would never let us leave this pack alive. Even if we manage to leave the house, it would be a matter of time before we get caught at the borders.
‘ Being soft is never my virtue. I’m a royal wolf for goddess sake, Bella. From now on, just rely on me and I will protect you even in the darkest pith.’ her words sounded like a request and I could t help but nod my head.
‘ Watch me get us out of here.’ she promised and I wondered what she was planning to do because my mother’s wolf was blocking it. She wasn’t a weak wolf to start with, I have watched my mom train and stand beside my father throughout my life.
She bearing her teeth at us. Her action brought a bit of disappointment in my chest, I thought she was on my side but it turned out she was also on the well-being of the pack. I was never important to them.
Maybe Eve was right, I shouldn’t be soft.
A terrifying growl slipped out of Eve’s thought but my mom’s wolf wasn’t ready to leave our way. Her determination to stop us was everything and I was glad Even wasn’t like me.
in a space of seconds, Even shifted into her golden-colored wolf and jumped on her. Everything happened so fast as Even sunk her teeth in my mom’s neck.
A painful growl erupted from my mom’s wolf. Eve’s mouth was covered in blood while my mom struggled to open her eyes.
Laying lifeless in her human form, Even tried to touch her but the sudden voice of my father brought her back to her mission to escape. Her head snapped back with her dark eyes burning red.” Don’t let her leave!”
Eve immediately dashed through the back door and instead of taking the forest route she climbed into the garden and followed a particular path. I was not sure where she was going until I recognized the isolated building ahead of us.
She effortlessly took down the two warriors guarding the cell and opened the door for Zion. Zion didn’t recognize us immediately but after a minute of looking at Eve, he started to follow us in his wolf form.
I was t sure if he even recognized us.
Before entering the forest I heard a growl from a distance and it wasn’t hard to know my father’s warriors were trailing behind us.
Eve was a fighter but what would happen to my mom?
