"I know about the pregnant She-wolf and I'm coming for her!"

　　The words sounded in his mind like a huge church bell and he looked up at Bella who looked just as terrified as he was.

　　"What does it read?" Bella asked but Achilles didn't say a word. Instead he turned around and bolted out of the bedroom with the paper still in his hand.

　　As he walked towards his office, he mindlinked both Alex and Diana to meet him there immediately.

　　That was bad news.

　　If Alpha D'argan knew about the pregnancy, then that was definitely bad news. Even the boundary spell could not stop him from invading the pack. The boundary spell was put to prevent just him and his pack members from getting into the Wall Street pack. Other packs could get in. Alpha D'argan could turn other packs against them and use them to invade their pack.

　　That was the worst news he had ever received and his entire body was trembling.

　　Even leaving Bella all by herself in her bedroom sounded like a risky thing to do. That was the protection their grandmother had spoken about.

　　"How did that bastard know about this? How did he know!" He grumbled in frustration as he walked on.

　　His mind was spinning like a roller coaster, he wasn't even done solving the problem of his brother wanting to marry Bella after she had the baby and now another dangerous news has just come up.

　　Which was he going to handle at the moment. Everything was beyond frustrating!

　　As he walked into his office, he was relieved to see his siblings already waiting for him.

　　"Achilles, what's wrong?" Diana asked worried and he handed over the letter to and began pacing about. Diana hastily opened it up and passed her eyes over the words, rapidly reading. When she understood what it actually was, the paper fell out of her hands and she stood awestrucken to the core.

　　Alex picked up there and read and had the same reaction.

　　The three siblings stood at the center of the living, staring at each other for a whole lot of minutes, wondering what to say about the situation.

　　They had no idea Alpha D'argan will learn about the pregnancy so soon.

　　"How did he even know about the pregnancy?" Diana finally asked in shock.

　　"If he knew, it means someone should've ratted us out. Who could that be?" That was Alex.

　　"The Donovans!" Achilles stated firmly.

　　"You cannot be so sure about that. The entire pack knows about the pregnancy, it could've been anyone!" Alex contradicts.

　　"Guys, I don't think any Wall Street pack member will have the courage to rat out this kind of information to that man. They are all terrified of him and they all want this redemption. He couldn't had heard from one us!" Diana explained.

　　"Then who did he get this information from?"

　　"I don't know, I don't know, okay! But right now, that isn't important. What we need to do is protect Bella as much as we can. The boundary spell…"

　　"The boundary cannot help us at this moment. Remember that spell only inhibits the members of the Crescent Moon pack from coming, other pack members can. You all know how influential that devil is, he can manipulate other packs and use them to get to us. We cannot depend on the boundary spell!" Achilles lamented.

　　"Yeah, you are right. We cannot depend on the boundary. That means we will have to tighten Bella's security. That is the only way we can keep her safe until she has that baby" Alex added and Achilles angrily sat on a nearby sofa and he roared in anger.

　　"Why does he always have to be ten steps ahead?" He screamed in anger. "What did we do to deserve this?"

　　"Achilles calm down!" Alex urges.

　　"No! Don't tell me to calm down! Fifteen years ago, the worst fate befell us and even now that our redemption is at the corner, the moon goddess won't just let us get it. She wants us to fight for it! What did we ever do to her?" Achilles asked angrily.

　　"You do not question the Moon goddess's actions" Alex cautioned.

　　"Oh, I will. Because I feel like she is being unfair to us. This is unfair!" Achilles shouted in anger and bother Alex and Diana just looked at him without saying a word. They could very well understand the reason for his rage.

　　They both felt the same rage and frustration, but they were better at keeping it at bay.

　　"You do know screaming will not solve this issue right? What you need to do right now is explain to Bella all that is going on"

　　"I don't want her to get worried," Achilles cried. "She is pregnant and that's already enough trouble for her to deal with. If she knows Alpha D'argan is after her, if she knows she has a part to play in the whole redemption charade, she will spend her days worrying and that might affect her, that's why I haven't mentioned anything like this to her!" Achilles explained almost in tears.

　　It hurt him to know that Bella's life and that of their unborn child were in danger.

　　"We all care about her wellbeing. We want her to be fine and healthy, but this kind of information cannot be hidden from her. She deserves to know!" Alex insisted.

　　"I don't want her to worry"

　　"Don't you think she would be more worried if she was kept in the dark? It's better for her to be aware of what's happening, so she can be ready for anything that comes her way. You have to tell her and that has to be immediately" Diana concluded and Achilles sat on one of the sofas and covered his face with his palms.

　　That is not how he wanted things to go.

　　Not at all.

　　"You are not in this alone brother. We are all in this together and we've got you. We are all responsible for Bella's safety just as much as you are and we will make sure to keep her safe. That's a promise" Alex encouraged and Achilles gave him a hopeful look.

　　He and his brother never got along on normal days as siblings, but in the face of trouble, they stood together to fight and conquer. He believed his brother's words and knew he would stick to his promise.

　　"It's hard"

　　"I know… that is why it is important you do it. Just explain it to her, she will freak out, she will be scared, but with time, she will understand. That, I know" He further encouraged Achilles who then rose from the sofa and headed for the door.

　　He left Bella in suspense a while ago, he was going back to tell her all what was going on.

　　*******************************************

　　"Dear Moon goddess, I know this is wrong, but you have left me no choice but to do this." Bella whispered as she walked around the woods, searching for a special herb which was know to be poisonous.

　　She wanted to end it all. Not only had she been pregnant against her will, the man responsible for the pregnancy down right rejected and had plans of marrying someone else.

　　Even if she died after doing what she did, she was ready to face the moon goddess in the land of the dead. She had questions to ask her as well.

　　"Gotcha!" She exclaimed in joy when she spotted the herb and walked over to it. She hastily plucked a few leaves from the growing stalk and as she did, her fingers began trembling and her heart was pounding so hard that she feared it was going to hop out of her chest.

　　She was about to do was sacrilegious and if caught, she would be punished severely. However, she had no choice but to do it because of how badly Achilles treated her. She was tired of listening to him reject her over and over again, so she wanted to end things for herself!

　　"Just one upset stomach and everything will be back to normal" She whispered to herself, but she didn't believe her own words, because she knew once she got rid of the baby, everyone was going to hate and despise her even more.

　　She was about to put the leaves into her mouth, but was stopped by the sound of growls behind her. She quickly spun around, only to see four vicious looking wolves staring at her with yellow eyes. They smelt different, so she knew they were strange wolves, as in, they were rogues.

　　Out of fear, she hastily threw the leaves to the ground and began walking backwards. This was the third time she was having an encounter with wolves in the forest and it terrified her.

　　It seemed they were always just out there, waiting for her to show up so they could attack her. The rogues began inching close to her and she tried to shapeshift into her wolf form to no avail. Her wolf kept restricting and she knew exactly why.

　　Because she was pregnant.

　　She unconsciously placed her hand on her flat tummy and gently caressed it as soft whimpers escaped her lips. All of a sudden, she wanted no harm to come upon her child. Tears began welling down her cheeks as the rogues only grew closer to her, snarling and giving her deadly looks.

　　"Please don't hurt me" She cried, but the vicious looking creatures didn't have mercy, they kept coming closer, and soon, they had encircled her. They were about to lunge at her when a loud howl came from behind and when she turned to look, she saw Achilles's big grey wolf sprinting towards them. His wolf eyes were pure red and Bella could see the anger that was burning in them.

　　The three rogues who seemed to have understood that they stood no chance against the Alpha began sprinting away, but Achilles did not let them. He followed them into the wild and Bella just crawled to the floor where she burst into tears. She had almost gotten ripped apart by those malicious creatures.

　　"Bella" She heard a familiar voice call from behind and when she turned to look, she saw Achilles standing tall above her, all dressed up and looking as hot as always.

　　"Alpha Achilles" She responded with a crooked voice. Achilles stared at her long and hard, wondering what he would do to her stubborn self, but when nothing came to his mind, he just shook his head and carried her into his arms.

　　"Alpha you…"

　　"Shhhh…." He cautioned and immediately, Bella shut her mouth and he began walking, probably towards the castle.

　　Bella snuggled closer in his warm comfortable arms and she wished the walk to the castle would be long so she could stay longer in his arms.

　　However, she had still not forgiven him for being so mean to her.

　　Once they got to the living room at Achilles' chamber, both Diana and Alex were beyond startled to see Achilles walk in with Bella snuggled up in his arms.

　　He gently put her to stand on her feet and gave her a deadly stare which caused her to move backwards, away from him.

　　"What is going on here?" Diana finally asks after seeing the tension between them.

　　"I was about to ask a similar question as well." He said as he took a step closer to Bella. "Tell me Bella, what were you doing in the bloody woods at this time of the night, when you are very much aware of the harm that can come to you and my unborn child?" He asked in a deadly voice.

　　His square jaw tensed visibly and the ridges of his neck became visibly pronounced. His neck expanded and shoulders pulled back, making them look bigger and more fierce.

　　His eyes had turned cold and had an unwavering glare holding them in place. The icy stare bored into Bella's face, making it hard not to look away.

　　"Answer me!" He roared in rage and Bella shuddered on the spot, but when she looked into that icy glare of his, she got enraged as well.

　　She took a confident step towards him, making sure to maintain eye contact, with her nostrils flaring in anger.

　　"Do you want to know why I went into the woods?" Bella asked furiously and he nodded his head.

　　"Pray tell!"

　　"I went to get poison, so I could get your little baby out of its misery" Bella confessed fearlessly and the living room went dead silent.

　　Alex and Diana exchanged terrified glances and Achilles' cheeks flamed in anger. Out of anger and rage, swiftly grabbed Bella by the neck and pinned her against the wall, choking her mercilessly.

　　Bella tried hard to free herself from his powerful grip but that was all in vain because his arm was stronger than all the bones in her body. Her strength was no match for him.

　　He looked straight into her deep blue eyes with his blazing red. His entire body grew hot and he was filled with so much adrenaline that his body began to shake.

　　Before the others could intervene, he picked Bella up by her neck and threw her against the wall on the other side of the room.

　　She screamed in agony as she hit the wall and fell on the floor, numb.

　　Everyone stood glued to their spots and waited for her to at least move a body part, but nothing happened. The next thing they saw was blood trickling down her thighs.

　　She had gone unconscious and she was bleeding.

　　That was not at all a good sign.
