CHAPTER SIXTY-FOUR

  No matter how much Achilles wanted to stay and kiss Bella's bump all day, he knew he couldn't because he had a pack to rule. After breakfast, he grudgingly left her side for the office while she retired back to their bedroom.

  Bella was beyond bored staying at home all day, doing nothing. She could not wait for the time when she would have the baby and everything would go back to normal. She had plans of going to med school and becoming a Pack Doctor, just like Doctor Karl, but she doubted if Achilles was ever going to allow that.

  One thing she knew was that even if they got married after all that was over, she was not going to be a stay at home wife. She loved keeping herself busy and doing something resourceful with her time.

  She had retired into her bedroom to sleep, but she couldn't, she kept trashing on her bed like there were needles on it that pierced her no matter what spot she lay on. She had even tried to read a book, but she could not bring herself to focus on the book.

  She kept reminiscing about what happened when she had gone down for breakfast. Whenever she remembered the surprised look on Achilles' face when he saw her bump, her heart melted.

  He was genuinely happy to the extent where he cried.

  That was their Almighty Alpha. A man who was well known for not being emotional about anything, but he cried when he saw her baby bump. That baby indeed meant a lot to him and that reality made her stomach flutter.

  She wanted to be with him all day and have him kiss and caress her tummy every now and then, but she knew he could not because he had pack issues to attend to.

  She could not wait for evening to come so she would snuggle up in his arms and have him kiss her hair every now and then.

  A knock at her room door interrupted her thoughts and she immediately stepped down from the bed to go and see who it was. As she walked over, she prayed in her heart for it to be Achilles, she badly missed him, but her hopes were crushed when she opened the door and saw one of her maid servants standing before her.

  "Miss Bella." The girl called quietly, respectfully with her head bowed down. There were twenty of them at her service and that meant she had twenty names to master, but unfortunately, she had not, so she did not know the name of the maidservant standing before her.

  "Please, don't bow. Look at me." She pleaded and the girl looked up at her. "How may I help you?" Bea asked politely.

  "Alpha Alexander said to ask if you would love to go for a walk with I'm the garden." The maidservant asked and Bella instantly smiled.

  Her hours of staying alone in her room and trashing on her bed were finally over.

  "Is he waiting already?"

  "Yes, he is. In the living room."

  "Tell him I'll be there in ten minutes."

  "Yes, Miss Bella."

  When the servant walked away, Bella quickly closed the door and leaned it as she heaved out a heavy sigh.

  All her plans of making those maidservants not act around her or speak to her with such a formal tone had proven to be futile. She hated how tense their tones made the atmosphere to be.

  Once her breath was normal again, she rushed into her closet to change her clothes. As she opened her wardrobe, she spotted a gown Diana had gifted her a few months ago. She had told her it was a dress the former Luna wore when she was pregnant with all three of them(Diana, Achilles and Alex) and that she( the former Luna) wanted every girl in that family to wear it when they were pregnant.

  Bella smiled as she took out the dress and walked over to her mirror stand. It was a simple white dress which had red hearts spotted all over it.

  She stripped out of her clothes and wore the dress on her body and it looked really good on her. It didn't fit, just perfectly free enough to make her feel very comfortable.

  She then tied her hair into a neat pony and applied some lip gloss. When she was done, she put on a pair of black sandals and inspected herself in the mirror once more before walking out of the bedroom.

  In the living room, she found Alex walking helter-skelter around and the moment he saw her, he stopped on his tracks and looked at her with his eyes wide open. He had the same look as Achilles when he had seen her that morning.

  Bella giggled shyly as she walked over to him.

  "Don't say it!" She warned and Alex chuckled.

  "You look amazing Bella and I very well recognize that dress. It's my mother's favorite dress to wear during pregnancy. I'm sure Diana gave it to you." He said with a smile and Bella calmly nodded her head as she looked at herself.

  "Yes, she did. It took me a lot of courage to finally decide to wear it. I can't believe I'm wearing a dress the late Luna used to wear."

  "You are a member of the family now, these things should not surprise you. So… are you ready for the walk?" He asked and Bella nodded instantly as she beamed up at him. She could not wait to go to the garden and drink in all that fresh air that was blowing in it.

  Without a word, Alex calmly led the way out of the living room and Bella followed him.

  "How is your health?" Alex asked the moment they arrived at the garden.

  "I'm very fine now." She replied with a smile and he nodded.

  "You look gorgeous Bella. I swear pregnancy looks good on you." He complimented. Bella blushed so hard that her cheeks hurt. She bowed down her head and played with her fingers.

  She had absolutely no idea that Alex was in love with her. She also had no idea that at that point in time, her being out with him was not something Achilles would love at all. She had no idea the fight that would break out if Achilles knew that she was spending time with Alex.

  She had no idea.

  Alex on the order hand knew those things, but he cared less. He was not afraid of Achilles and he was still determined to get Bella for himself.

  "Alex…" Bella called breaking the silence.

  "Yes, Bella."

  "Thank you for bringing me out here. I was really bored in my room and I tried to sleep, but I couldn't!"

  "Anytime you feel bored in your room, just send for me and I'll come to your rescue." He told her and she chuckled in amusement.

  "I definitely will."

  "Alex!" A thunderous voice called and Alex rolled his eyes in annoyance when he recognized the voice. Heavy footsteps were approaching them from behind and both he and Bella immediately turned to look and they were greeted by the sight of a very furious looking Achilles who was marching towards them with both fists clenched by his side.

  When he got close to them, he took Alex off guard with a hard punch in the nose that caused him to fall to the ground.

  Bella let out a loud scream as she took a step backwards.

  "Bella." Achilles called in a deadly tone. Bella looked into his eyes and immediately looked away because what she saw in them freaked her out.

  Angst.

  He didn't have that soft and gentle look he had in the morning.

  Anger was all she could see in them and it felt like he was about to kill someone.

  "Go with the guard." He said as he took her hand and handed her to the huard who immediately led her away from the scene!

  Achilles then picked Alex from the ground by the collar and threw him hard to the other side of the garden and crashed into a bunches of flowers whose stalks and branches bruised him all over his body as he fell on them.

  "I have told you to stay away from Bella!" Achilles yelled at the top of his voice as he walked towards Alex with his fingers transforming to paws.

  He was about to shape shift into his wolf form when a sudden power lifted him off his feet and hit him hard on the ground, causing him to hit his back. He let out a painful groan as he tried to sit upright.

  "You two never stop, do you?" Diana asked as she approached the scene.

  Both brothers rose on their feets, holding the spots on their bodies that hurt. Alex had cuts all over his face, while Achilles supported his waist with his hands.

  "Tell Alex to stay away from Bella."

  "You have no right to…"

  "Shut off both of you. You are lucky we are in the middle of a crisis else I would have turned you both into vegetables! Now where the hell is Bella?" She asked in fury.

  "I sent her home with a guard."

  "I swear if you two fight again, I will do worse." She promised them before walking away.

  Achilles and Alex gave each other one last furious look before walking in opposite directions.

  Their fight over Bella was nowhere close to ending.
