Bellamy Rose

AFTER THE ceremony, Vincent immediately ordered to serve the dishes. Even I was hungry. I didn't eat anything since morning because I had this uncertain feeling. I thought, that if I eat something I might puke. I didn't want to be a sick bride at my wedding now, would I? Everyone was coming to me and Vincent to congratulate us.

"Congratulations Luna Bellamy. I hope the two of you live an enchanted life," The luna of the North said as she handed a gift to me.

"Aw, you didn't have to sweat much. Thank you," I said with a smile. After thanking each and everyone, I made my way to my best friend who was looking at me wickedly and waiting for me to come to her.

"Goddess, I feel old. My child has grown up," She said as she fake wiped the nonexistent tears. I laughed at her actions.

"Sophia cut the drama, please," I said. I felt a stare on me so I started looking here and there until my eyes landed on his. My husband was staring at me openly. Beside him was Prince Hernandez who was talking to him but my mate ignored him. I chuckled at the sight of that.

"What is so funny?" Sophia inquired. I motioned towards her. She looked at the other side and I felt her body stiffened.

"What?" I whispered. She shook her head and turned her body towards me.

"Nothing, nothing. Let just click a picture. Come on," She said waving at the photographer to come and click our pictures. After having a mini photoshoot, I excused myself.

I went towards the water stand to quench my thirst. As I was about to bring the glass to my mouth someone patted my shoulders lightly.

"Congratulations, Queen." Luciano trailed with his words. I raised my eyebrow and gave a forced smile. I had to look like a gentle bride to my guests even if I didn't like them.

"Thanks, Luciano," I replied, and in returned he grinned widely at. I was confused at first and decided to ask him.

"Why are you smiling like that? Do you want to say something?" I asked him casually. He shook his head still smiling widely at me.

"Nothing, nothing Mrs. Dante, you'll see..." He replied. I nodded still confused. Ignoring his twisted words I went to the other side towards Papa.

"Papa." I gave him a side hug. He deeply chuckled and kissed my forehead.

"My little angel has grown up now. I remember when you were born. I can't forget how beautiful you looked in my arms while you sucked your thumb," He said. Papa was slowly becoming emotional.

"So you're saying I don't like beautiful now?" I joked wanting to lighten his mood.

"How will I say that?" He said in a duh tone and I laughed.

"Uncle Leo." Vincent came towards us. Papa's eyes instantly lit as he brought him in for a hug.

"My son!" Papa cheered.

"You've made me a very happy man today Vincent. I can't express how thankful I am to Moon Goddess to destine my baby with a gentleman like you," He said. Now I felt like cracking a little bit but I restrained myself.

"Uncle, I am blessed to have her. However, I am not happy with how I treated her when she came," Vincent said disappointment laced in his voice.

"See son, the thing is that we are never ready for such drastic changes. When Bellamy's mother died, I was scared of this responsibility. Of course, a daughter needs a mother at some point in her life. And it scared me that I won't be sufficient for her.

But look where we are now. I am happy and fulfilled and so are you. Don't sweat much, we all make mistakes and learn from them," Papa said. I couldn't agree more. I know it'll take some time for Vincent to get rid of the guilt but he will. I will make sure.

"Here's my best friend," Dominic said from behind me causing me to chuckle.

"Hey, she is my best friend," Lukas said from a little far.

"As if I am no one in her life. Whatever you say, kids," Sophia said while sipping on her wine. I laughed in response. Soon, they started bickering.

"Guys, Guys. Relax. You all are my best friends," I told them and there once heated expressions turned into satisfying ones.

Wanting to use the restroom I excused myself and started making my way to my room. Both mine and Vincent's room was situated in the opposite wing. I entered the hallway to the other wing. There was no one here and I could hear my light footsteps heavily in my ears.

I heard creaking sounds so I turned around thinking it might be Sophia but there was no one. Feeling strange I quickened my pace. Encounters like these always scare me. When I entered my room I went towards the bathroom locking the door.

Midway between I realized I didn't lock room door so I felt uneasy. I reassured myself that I was tired and paranoia was taking the best of me. After washing my hands I got out of my room and started making my way towards the hall.

As I was walking, I felt as if someone was following me. Quickening my pace, I heard literal running steps towards me and before I could turn I felt something inject in my right hand from behind me. And all I could see was Luciano's blurred vision until darkness took over me.

Luciano's Pov

Injecting her with the wolfsbane seemed pretty easy. I knew that once the ceremony would be done, she'd feel strong and could withstand the effects. So I changed and mixed other elements to create a strong wolfbane, one that will affect but not for too long.

I'll give a point to her. She struggled against my grip and almost, almost set herself free but thank Goddess, the effects had dozed her down. I mind linked my wolves to stay alerted and inform me if anyone comes from the hall.

I knew I couldn't take her in front of so many people, so I had to take her from the back door which leads to the storeroom and then out of the castle and then the exit.

I had very little time to do because she would wake up soon. I mind linked my assistant Erik to send in two more wolves to help me carry her out. Within seconds I saw two wolves of mine running towards me.

They swiftly carried her and I directed them the way. Within a few minutes, we were out. There was a black SUV waiting for us at the back of the castle. Even though there were guards there but I had instructed my wolves to divert their attention.

When the guards were nowhere in sight I managed to take Bellamy to the car and locked the door shut. She started regaining her conscious but I once again injected her with the same ultra wolfsbane, this time giving her two doses to shut down her wolf for a while.

Finally, my plan was running smoothly. Before executing my plan, when both of the pesky lovers were saying their vows, I discreetly went into Vincent's room. I placed a small note there along with a picture of a smiling Bellamy with blood-covered stains. Thanking Moon Goddess for the idea of technology.

"You took away something dear to me and now I am taking away something precious of yours," I whispered to myself seeing the castle as we drove off from the Royal side.

Until we see you again...brother.

Vincentius Dante

"King I am so happy for you! I don't know how to express myself but I hope that you and Queen Bellamy have a beautiful journey together," my Beta Dorian said. I felt proud and happiness washed over me.

"It wouldn't have been possible without you, Dorian. I should be thanking you. So thanks a lot for being there. I know I am hard on you most of the time but know that I will always have your back, no matter what!" I promised Dorian who looked pleased with my answer.

"No king, I admire your efforts on us. It's because of you that we are where we are. And I can't feel more blessed or I can't thank Moon Goddess enough," He replied.

"King! Congratulations," I heard the Alpha of West congratulate me. Excusing myself from Dorian, I turned around and met the Alpha.

"Thanks a lot, Alpha." I smiled.

"King, I must admit your visit to our site has brought a lot of peace. We were expecting an attack but none came." He sounded calm. Great, no attacks meant a good sign.

After talking with the Alpha for another ten minutes or so I realized that Bellamy was nowhere to be seen. Thinking she might be with Sophia I calmed down but not for long when I saw Sophia and Dominic talking to each other.

Feeling strange, I tried mind linking her but no response came. As if her wolf was down.

Bellamy where are you?

No response.

Bellamy?

Still no response.

I decided to go check her in her room. Entering in my wing, I saw a ring on the floor. Picking it up, I realized it was Bellamy's. I quickened my pace to her room. Knocking on her door, I didn't hear any shuffling in the room. I opened the door and called for her but she didn't respond. I even checked the bathroom and she was not there.

Thinking that she might have gone into my room I entered my room and she was not there. Checking my bathroom she was not even there. I decided to go out and see other areas when something caught my eye.

There was a note and a photograph placed on my bed. Having the same gut feeling about something bad I went towards my bed slowly and saw the photograph of Bellamy smiling which was stained with something red....blood.

I hurriedly opened the note and my heart fell. No this could be happening. I just had her.

Hello Brother,

Do you think I've forgotten the way you killed my father? Tortured me? Tortured him? Not giving him that chance of breathing? Taking away his breath while he gasped for it. Not hearing his countless begs of mercy? No brother, I haven't. And I don't even plan on doing it! What I plan on doing is to torture your love the same way you did with my father. More harshly. Your little wife is with me, she's alive but I don't trust my self and certainly not the monster which once my father had become.

Oh and please don't sweat much in trying to find us. You won't. I'll get back to you later with another message, probably with her heart sent to you. Wait- let me rephrase that, with her half-eaten heart!

I hope you have a beautiful life ahead with your wife oh wait, you don't have your wife. Hah! I will not leave her. I will end her just the way you ended my father as an act of revenge and then I will send you and your whole family.

With lots of love,

Your Luciano.

I felt the same darkness creeping over me as I read those words. All I could see was red. He had my love! He went too far away. He knew his father couldn't be cured.

"LUCIANO," I screamed in agony. Not my Bellamy.

Please moon goddess, don't let anything happen to her.
