CHAPTER FORTY-THREE

  Achilles was still very angry about all what he just found out from the Donovans. Bella was never supposed to be a slave. Her mother escaped from the tyrant in her pack and fell into the hands of another tyrant in his pack.

  If only Mr. Donovan had brought her to the castle to meet his parents who were ruling at that time, his parents would've given her a much better life and Bella would never have been their slave.

  All he could think of at that time was how poorly they had treated her while she was with them. The first day he met Bella in the woods, she looked miserable and there were fingerprints on her jaw which meant she had gotten hit that night before she went into the woods.

  Bella grew up in an abusive environment and it was taking a toll in every aspect of her life. She feared people too much. She hardly expressed herself to anyone even when she was hurt. She was weak and vulnerable and many other things he did not want to think about.

  He hated the Donovans and he wanted them to suffer. While he was driving back to his castle, he mindlinked his Beta, Tony, and told him how to treat both Mr.Donovan and his daughter. They were going to pay for everything they had done to Bella.

  "We are here" Diana announced as she walked into his office with the others.

  He called a meeting the moment he returned from the Donovan residence. He wanted to tell them all what he found out.

  "Cool" He walked straight to Bella and hugged her with all his might. The little Time he spent away from here was more than torture to him. "How have you been?" He asked in a whisper as he kissed her forehead.

  "I'm okay"

  "Did you have something to eat already?" He asked and Bella chuckled lightly.

  "Two times"

  "Two times! We are definitely having a boy" Achilles joked and that got Diana's attention.

  She had still not told them that she already found out the gender of the baby.

  "Can we just start already? Achilles, why did you summond us here?" Alex asked, annoyed as usual.

  Seeing Achilles and Bella get all mushy made him jealous.

  "Chill bro" Achilles compelled as he took Bella to a nearby couch and put her to sit on it. When everyone was settled, he walked over to his office table and leaned by it as he looked at them one by each. "I'm not very happy with what I found out" He finally spoke out after a long moment of silence. His statement caught the attention of the others and they looked up at him with expectant eyes, most especially Bella.

  Her heart was banging hard in her chest.

  "What did you find out?"

  "Mr. Donovan explained to me that many years ago, even before the massacre, a pregnant She-wolf showed up at his door and begged for his help. She told him all she needed was shelter and food for her and her unborn child and she would do whatever it is he wanted. Mr. Donovan accepted and made her his slave. He did not bother to report the issue to our parents who were governing by then, he decided to take matters into his own hands by turning the helpless woman into a slave." He explained and everyone's gaze drakened.

  " And that pregnant woman was Bella's mother?" Tony asked curiously and Achilles nodded his head.

  "Yes, she was"

  "So… where did the pregnant She-wolf come from? Why was she helpless and miserable? Didn't she have a mate who could have protected her?" Alex asked perplexed.

  "Mr. Donovan made no mention of who her mate was, I don't think he knew about him."

  "But did he tell you anything about her family? Like where she came from?"

  "Yes, he did. He did tell me where she came from."

  "So?"

  "The pregnant werewolf came from the Crescent Moon Pack" Achilles announced and the entire office fell in dead silence. Diana, Alex, Bella and Tony exchanged confused looks before turning to him with their eyes and mouths wide open.

  That was the greatest shock of their lives. None of their speculations and thoughts had ever ventured to something of that sort.

  "From the Crescent Moon Pack?" Bella asked loudly, totally shocked at the reality of what she was hearing.

  If her mother was from the Crescent Moon Pack, it means her father was from that pack as well, which in turn meant that she was a member of the Crescent Moon Pack!

  "Bloody hell!" She exclaimed in a whisper as she leaned back on her chair.

  "Wait… hold on a bit, are you trying to tell me that Bella is a member of the Crescent Moon pack?" Diana asked as well and Achilles nodded his head.

  "Yes, she is. Mr. Donovan told me that her mother looked very helpless and she explained to him that she had escaped from Alpha D'argan's castle where she used to work as a servant. He was certainly very cruel to his servants, so she decided to come to this pack"

  "And that moron of man thought he had the right to turn her into his slave" Alex said in angry tone. "I think this time around, his punishment is going to go beyong hard labor in the fields"

  "I already took care of that" Achilles declared.

  "What do you mean?" That was Diana.

  "Firstly, he has been demoted from his post as General manager, to a laborer, secondly, his mansion has been seized, he will leave in a much smaller house with no maids or guards to serve him and for his daughter, Louisa, she will serve in the Military for one whole year before returning to her father" He explained and they all, except Bella nodded their heads in satisfaction.

  Deep in her heart, she was happy that the people who he maltreated her all her life were finally going to pay for their crimes.

  "That's solid. I like it" Alex confirmed and Achilles nodded his head.

  "Back to Bella's case. If her mother was from the Crescent Moon pack, it means her father is there too." He explained looking at Bella whose eyes shut open. "But… we know we cannot find him because we are not allowed to go into the Crescent Moon Pack. That would be trespassing and Alpha D'argan will wage a war on us, not that we aren't already at war though. I'm sorry Bella" Achilles apologized.

  "It's okay. I understand. The most important thing is that I now know my origin…"

  "And the possible reason why you are able to get pregnant" Diana added and they all gave her confused looks. "Come on guys, it's obvious. Bella might have been born here and she smells like us, she can communicate with us through mindlink, but she has got Crescent moon blood flowing in her veins and that's why grandma's curse of infertility did not work on her." Diana explained and they all began nodding their heads when they came to realization.

  "That's true. We have finally solved this mistery, interesting!"

  "Interesting indeed" Diana confirmed with a nod.

  "If the important things have been said, I would love to take my leave." Bella announced as she rose from her seat. Achilles instantly walked over to her.

  "Let me take you to your room"

  "No… it's fine. I'll go alone. Thank you" Then she exited the office.

  "She's hurt. She's definitely hurt" Diana concluded as she let out a sigh.

  "I have to go and make she's fine."

  "No… leave her be. She needs time to be alone." She cautioned and Achilles obeyed.

  As they talked, his eyes were glued to the door. What he wanted to do was go out there, find Bella and keep her company, but like Diana had advised, she needed time to be alone so she could digest all that she just heard.
