Five
Bella wakes up a while later to a room full of blue light. Morning is dawning and she has no idea how long she was asleep, but it does not feel like very long. Her head aches and her eyes burn. It could be because of her crying jag, which left her with a stuffy nose and a tear-streaked face.
Making her way slowly to the bathroom, she takes care of nature's business. Looking at herself in the mirror, she is taken aback by how hideous she looks. Not that she is a vain person who cares about how she looks. She is not worried that she doesn't look model quality beautiful first thing in the morning.

Bella watches Adam warily as he stands there across the room, looking at her evenly. He seems to be sizing her up and Bella gets the distinct impression that he finds her to be lacking in some way. He seems like he is considering saying something, but thinks better of it, which is why Bella is shocked when he speaks. But she is most shocked by his words. “You and Lumi seem really comfortable together. I almost thought that I had interrupted a moment between the two of you.” “Um, you did,” Bella tells him, lifting
Beauty and the Alpha Seven
Why am I still standing here? Adam Prince wonders as he stands inside the door watching the girl before him. Isabella Janette French. Bella. The idiot girl who gave up her life in exchange for her father's life. She is his prisoner, his captive. She belongs to Adam now. Her life is meant to be one of punishment and torment. He wanted to cause her pain and make her life a living hell for daring to trespass on his land. For defying his wishes and bothering him.
Beauty and the Alpha Eight
Bella refused to eat the lunch that was sent up to her for two reasons. First, she was not sure about it after the threats that Adam had made earlier. For the second reason, her stomach was still cramping from the breakfast she had eaten. Where she had not eaten for what could possibly have been days, her stomach had not handled the heavy breakfast that she had gobbled down. Adam had left just in time because mere seconds after the door had slammed in his wake, her stomach had knotted up and she had rushed to the bathroom, where she had spent most of the morning with the agonizing pains. She had a coughing spell that had left h
Beauty and the Alpha Nine
Bella wakes up the next morning to the sun streaming in through the partially parted curtains to fall on her face and warm her skin. She lies there for a moment just enjoying the feel of it and loving the feeling on her face. It is like the sun is caressing her face. This is her favorite time of the morning usually, when the warmth hits her. Since she has been in this room, she stays so cold. The room is nice, but the window is old and allows in just the smallest draft that freezes her. The thin old wool blanket spread across the full bed just is not enough to keep her warm. But this morning she fin
Beauty and the Alpha Ten
Throughout the rest of the day, Adam and Lumi bring things into the room, such as a mini-fridge full of juices and sodas, a small love seat that is a pretty shade of pink that matches her bedspread, and some other things that she has not gotten to look at yet. Bella unpacks her bags of clothes as Lumi hangs mint green curtains from the windows. Adam sits on the floor, hooking up her Xbox one to her tv. Chad had been in the room talking a mile a minute for a while but his mother kept calling for him and finally, Adam made him go. Not without grumbles though. “Okay, the curtains are up,” Lumi announces.
Beauty and the Alpha Eleven
Adam hears her words and feels them as they pierce his heart. This girl, she can get to him like no other. He feels this draw to her like he has never felt with anyone else. Inside of him, he feels this need to please her. But he also feels this need to keep her. He is at war deep within himself. A part of him wants to let her go. Let her go home to her father and to her life. Let her travel the world and absolve the guilt that she feels over losing her mother. He wants to give her for her dreams and her freedom.
Beauty and the Alpha Twelve
A few hours later Bella sits on the floor looking through her stack of DVDs. She knows that DVDs have pretty much become a thing of the past, what with media streaming platforms bringing movies right to the TV with just a click of a button. Still, Bella prefers buying the DVDs and stacking them on her shelf. She likes such an odd assortment of films that are sometimes hard to find on certain platforms. At her home, her father told her that she could get a subscription to whatever she wanted, but still, she prefers to buy the movies. She only uses the Roku and channels to watch a few of her favorite television shows. Her friends use to accuse her of living in the stone ages, reading paperback books, and buying movi
Beauty and the Alpha Thirteen
Adam calls her name and she reluctantly turns to face him, dreading what he might say if he noticed her odd behavior. “Hmm?” Bella looks at him over her shoulder and he is watching her closely. “Um, this is nice. I enjoyed spending time with you, watching movies and everything.” “Oh, yeah. Me too.” Bella smiles. “It was good.” “Maybe we could do it again sometime,” Adam says, but it sounds like more of a question.
