Haydn's Pov
The moment I laid eyes on Bella, I knew there was something special between us. I couldn't tear my gaze away from her.
Her black hair looked incredibly soft, and her rosy cheeks had a touch of sweetness that made me want to reach out and touch them. Instead of the usual billowing dresses that most she-wolves wore, she had opted for trousers, giving her a sleek, confident appearance.
In the grand hall, I watched as her mischievous eyes darted around, smiling at those she liked and becoming sombre in the presence of those she disliked. For thirty years, I'd never been so captivated by a girl's every move.
Even though Bella didn't wear a magical necklace, I just knew she was the mate I had been waiting for. My wolf, Aidan, was going wild in my head, trying to take control to meet Bella. But I couldn't allow him to do that; Aidan was too impulsive and might frighten our mate.
On the following night at the banquet, I took great care to dress up and wear the magical necklace. I thought Bella would appreciate it, and I planned to find the matching necklace to present to her personally.
As night fell and the banquet hall lit up, I searched for Bella's presence. I saw Alpha Logan, his wife, and their son, but Bella was nowhere to be found. Where had she gone?
I navigated through the crowd, trying to locate Bella. In a corner on the balcony, I spotted a familiar figure. I was about to approach when I noticed she wasn't alone. Beta Gray Norman from the Maple Pack was standing with her, and that annoying Gray seemed to be trying to charm my mate. He even leaned in close to whisper something in her ear.
I felt a surge of anger and jealousy. I clenched my fists, itching to confront him. In fact, I was about to do just that when I saw Bella kick Gray. It was an unexpected twist, and it seemed that my mate could defend herself.
I let out a laugh and followed Bella into the corridor and witnessed two other girls bullying her, attempting to summon soldiers to capture her. I couldn't allow that to happen; they NEEDED to face consequences.
"Your Majesty, this woman maliciously harmed my comrade. Please order the soldier to apprehend her," Olivia said, mistakenly thinking that I was accusing Bella of wrongdoing.
On the other hand, Clara, upon seeing the tall and handsome king, became smitten and gazed at me with adoration, hesitating to speak.
"You're lying," Bella said, her fists clenched in anger.
These two malicious women were trying to distort the truth. I couldn't let them succeed.
"Soldier, take these two individuals who falsely accused others and throw them into the dungeons."
Everyone in the hallway was shocked.
"Why us? You should punish this wretch!" Clara's sharp voice echoed in the corridor. She couldn't believe the king's words; hadn't he seen her injured?
"I witnessed both of you attacking Bella first, and she was merely defending herself," I said coldly, looking at these two individuals who didn't know their place. My soldiers weren't meant to be used like that.
"Your Majesty, I believe this is all a misunderstanding. We are friends with Bella, and we were just joking with her," Olivia stammered, she didn’t expect that the king had witnessed everything.
I remained silent and turned to Bella.
Bella frowned, "A joke? I've never heard that making fun of someone would land them in jail. Olivia, Clara, I'm not your friend."
"You wretch, how dare you treat us this way," Clara said, preparing to slap Bella.
"Take them to the dungeons," I immediately ordered, ensuring these two annoying troublemakers were removed from my sight.
"Your Majesty, please don't do this to us."
"Your Majesty, you can't do this to us. We are Alphas’ daughters."
I ignored their pleas and turned my gaze to Bella.
"Are you okay?" I asked.
"I'm fine. Thank you for coming to my rescue and setting the record straight," Bella sincerely thanked King Haydn.
"Not worth mentioning," I couldn't help but move closer to Bella. There was a certain fragrance about her, and I wanted to be closer to her, to smell her neck.
My gaze travelled from her bright, dark eyes to her petite nose and her inviting lips. She looked stunning today in her moonlight-colored dress, appearing graceful and delicate, as if she were the earthly representative of the moon goddess.
Suddenly, my eyes fixed on the silver-white necklace around her slender neck. Oh, goddess, it was the Magic Necklace.
"Mate," Aidan came out of my mind and took control of my body.
The word startled Bella.
Aidan swooped closer to Bella, grabbed her shoulders, and sniffed at her neck. He stretched out his tongue to lick Bella's ear, moved down inch by inch, and kissed Bella's neck.
Bella was surprised by Aidan's sudden words and behavior. She was held by Aidan's shoulders and felt the man's kisses and touches on her ears and neck, feeling extremely shy. Her legs were weak and she couldn't stand. A strong arm was placed around her waist to lift her up. Bella's whole body was leaning against Aidan's body. Aidan's body is bursting with muscles, hard and powerful, which is in contrast to Bella's soft body. Bella can feel the heat radiating from Aidan's body and the masculinity rushing towards her face due to his passion, and her heartbeat is fast. , this feeling is so amazing, she has never felt like this before.
"Stop, let me go." Bella struggled and protested.
Aidan, stop, you scared her.
No, she is my mate. She is mine.
She's afraid.
SHE IS MINE.
Aidan refused to relinquish control of my body, and I couldn't let him continue like this. I focused my concentration and strengthened my meditation. "No," Aidan roared in frustration, but I gained control back and returned to my body.
"Sorry, I lost control of my wolf," I wanted to release Bella, but she was unable to stand on her own and almost stumbled. In my haste, I held her close to me again.
"I heard 'Mate,'" Bella said, looking straight at me.
"Right, Bella, you are my mate."
"I find this impossible," Bella said, surprised, her eyes wide. "I've already lost two mates; how could I have a third chance mate?"
I took Bella's hand and placed it on my necklace. "The bond was created by the necklace."
Bella then noticed that the King was wearing a necklace similar to hers, with only a slight difference in the pendant design. Hers had a rose and a crown, while the King's had a sword and a crown.
"You have a necklace like mine!" Bella exclaimed, taking off her necklace and placing it next to the King's necklace. The two necklaces looked like a perfect match.
"They are paired," I said, and as the two necklaces touched, they suddenly radiated with a brilliant light.
"It's magic."
"Bella, did you feel anything?"
Bella still couldn't believe what was happening; she had just been given a third chance at a mate. It all felt like a dream, and she feared that she might wake up any moment. She was afraid that Haydn would be like Gray and Barnett, giving her hope only to let her down. She was afraid of falling into another trap. Could she trust the man before her?
Bella’s PovApril (my wolf): Have you sensed anything?Me: April, you've finally shown up!My wolf, April, hadn't spoken in a long time. Sometimes, I even felt like she was a mute wolf. In fact, she had always been a somewhat peculiar wolf. She didn't like my first mate, Gray, and she didn't like my second mate, Barnett. Compared to other wolves, she seemed to lack the passion for a destined mate.Me: April, is King Haydn really our mate? I can't feel the bond.April: I think it is so.Me: Then why can't I feel anything?April: The problem is within you.Me: What do you mean?April: Bella, you might not have noticed that you closed off your heart. Ever since Gray and Barnett betrayed you, you no longer believe in love, and you've shut down your heart's bond connection. So, even if the bond exists, you can't feel it.Me: How can I reopen the bond link?April: Trying to trust and love Haydn is the only way for you to find happiness.Me: Can I?My heart felt anxious and worried. I believ
The Third Person’s PovThree Days LaterSlap!Henry Anderson, the Alpha of the Maple Pack, angrily slapped Olivia. "You're bringing shame upon me."Olivia clutched her swollen cheek and couldn't utter a word. Just this morning, she and Clara had been released from the cell. But her father's first words upon seeing her weren't words of concern; instead, they were filled with blame and humiliation."It's because of you that your mother couldn't give birth to a son and died early. And now you're ruining your own reputation, preventing yourself from marrying into a powerful pack." Henry's wife had passed away many years ago, leaving him with only Olivia as a daughter. But he treated Olivia poorly, subjecting her to physical abuse. He needed a son to inherit his alpha position, not a seemingly worthless daughter.It was ironic to Olivia that her father had had numerous affairs over the years, and not one woman could give him the son he so desired. He attributed the blame to Olivia, intendi
Bella’s PovKnock! Knock! Knock!I was awakened by the annoying sound of knocking, my consciousness not fully clear. Glancing at the alarm clock, I discovered it was only six o'clock in the morning. Who on earth was so inconsiderate to disturb my sleep? Don't they know that disrupting someone's peaceful slumber is incredibly impolite?"Who is it?" I groggily inquired."It's me." I found it highly unusual for Haydn to show up at my door so early in the morning."I am coming." Haydn's handsome face came into view as I opened the door, and I couldn't help but be taken aback by his striking appearance. His perfectly combed black hair sharply contrasted with his chiseled features. His strong jawline and high cheekbones exuded an air of authority.Haydn's brown eyes, while serious in expression, held a warmth uncommon for someone in his line of work. They were like deep pools of chocolate, drawing you in with an irresistible intensity.Dressed in a black military uniform, he stood tall and
I felt Haydn's gentle kiss fall on my forehead, then slide down to my lips and my neck. We tore at each other's clothes. His hands touched my breasts and rubbed them hard. Then, his kiss was no longer gentle but became a little hasty and violent. The clothes were quickly torn off and we were finally naked. Haydn's lips bit my breasts lightly, sucking them hard, making a slurping sound. A strange feeling rose from my belly. I moaned as the sweet juices wet my vagina. This aroused Haydn's deeper desires. He turned to bite my nipples hard, and soon my nipples became swollen and big like bright cherries. The stinging pain from the bite made me want to resist but I also wanted more. My lower body felt even more empty. I stretched out my hands to push Haydn's head away, but he restrained them with his left hand. Then, I saw his wet and hot tongue licking my breasts, my chest, my abdomen, and finally resting on the lips of my vagina. Haydn spread my legs, completely exposing my private par
Bella’s povI frowned, not wanting to pay any attention to Theresa. However, she seemed insistent on bothering me."Look who it is. It's our esteemed Red Moon Pack Alpha's daughter, Bella. But our dear Bella has been dumped twice, becoming unwanted damaged goods. Hahaha," Theresa sarcastically remarked. She envied Bella for being born into a privileged position, whereas Theresa had to climb her way up step by step."Theresa, I advise you to show some respect in your words. Even if you become Barnett's Luna, you have no right to meddle in my affairs," I said coldly, staring at her.As soon as Theresa heard this, she became infuriated. "You bitch, how dare you lecture me!" She raised her hand to slap me.I grabbed her raised wrist, holding it firmly. "Enough!"Theresa struggled to free her wrist but couldn't match my strength. "Theresa, I warn you, don't act recklessly in front of me, or I'll make you pay."A hint of fear appeared on Theresa's face, her teeth biting down on her lip. But
Bella’s pov The dungeon was dark, with only a small window letting in a sliver of sunlight. I sat by the window, soaking in the precious sunlight. I had been locked away for a day and a night, with no one coming to see me, not even bringing food or water. Did they intend to starve me or let me die of thirst? It was truly despicable. From start to finish, I was convicted too easily, too quickly. I didn’t want to die, I didn’t want to be wrongly accused and lose my life in vain. My father and brothers were still fighting bloody battles on the border, and I hadn’t waited for Haydn to come back and tell him that I loved him. April: Bella, are you okay? Me: Yeah, I am okay. How about you? April: (depressed, lying down) No, I am not okay. Me: Hmm... let me tell you a joke. April: What joke? Me: We're still alive. April: Is that it? What kind of joke is that? April angrily scratched the ground with her two front paws. Me: Haha, April, you don't look cute sighing with your head
Haydn’s povHaving repelled a wave of rogues, the night grew darker, and my soldiers and I took a temporary rest in a town.About twenty to thirty rogues were causing havoc at the border this time. We managed to eliminate more than half of them, with only four or five escaping.In another day or two, we would be able to return to the royal city."Your Majesty, many townspeople here are injured. What should we do?" Logan Brown sought the king's advice."Distribute some of the potions we brought to them," I said after some thought.In the Celestia Kingdom, werewolves' injuries were treated with potions. We brought a batch of healing potions on this border expedition, but despite my anticipation of providing some to the injured civilians, the number of casualties surpassed expectations, and the potions were running low."Your Majesty, we've already allocated a batch of potions to the injured. If we distribute another batch..." Logan hesitated. There were still a few rogues at large, and
Haydn’s povThe moment I arrived at the execution site, I witnessed the most terrifying scene of my life.My love, Bella, was about to be beheaded in the next second."No!" Aidan and I roared simultaneously.Aidan swiftly accelerated, rushing to knock that damn blade away, shielding Bella with his body. Only when Bella's warm hand caressed my fur that my anxiety begin to ease.Fortunately, she was still alive.But soon, I noticed her face and body were covered in wounds, weakened beyond measure. Damn it, who could have done this? My heart was filled with boundless anger and self-blame. Aidan was on the brink of exploding, and if it weren't for my lingering sanity, I felt he might have killed everyone present.Bella nestled against me, and she soon fainted. I took her to my bedroom, laying her on my bed. I had a doctor treat her, and her condition improved. The doctor suggested she needed a good night's sleep. I gently planted a kiss on her forehead, hoping for sweet dreams.And now, I
