It was late at night. A big black Lincoln SUV drove into a fancy castle in a very expensive neighborhood.
Inside the castle, Bella Reed couldn't see because her eyes were covered with a silky blindfold. She wasn't allowed to know who was with her.
"Don't be scared. Take deep breaths," Bella whispered to herself. She knew it was important to help her dad get a new liver, even if it meant sacrificing a little. She had to keep convincing and comforting herself.
Bella couldn't ignore the sound of the car entering the castle. She had no choice but to keep talking to herself, trying to stay calm.
When Alpha Lucian Craig walked in, Bella noticed him even though she couldn't see. He was tall and looked strong. She greeted him nervously while taking a step back.
Bella had tried to prepare herself mentally for this, but she was still scared when it actually happened. She felt weak and wanted to run away.
Alpha Lucian didn't know if what he was doing was right, but he had to find a woman and have a kid before his next birthday, as his father demanded. He saw Bella as a young girl standing in his room.
"Why are you afraid?" he asked Bella. His voice was deep, calm, and captivating.
Bella was surprised by his voice. She wondered how someone middle-aged could have such a beautiful voice.
"I don't have any diseases or weird desires," he reassured her. He wanted her to know that she didn't have to be shy but that she was scared of him.
Before Bella could recover from her surprise, he told her, "Let's begin." His voice sounded serious, like he was starting an important event.
Suddenly, he lifted Bella into his arms. It was the first time Bella had ever been carried like this, and it made her heart race.
"If it hurts, tell me to stop," Alpha Lucian reminded her. He thought he was being considerate.
But his words made Bella even more scared. He reached out to touch her, and she tried to move away.
"Don't move!" Alpha Lucian commanded sharply. He grabbed her wrist firmly and pulled her closer, warning her to stay still.
Bella didn't dare to pull away anymore because she felt embarrassed. She thought if he was young and handsome, he wouldn't need to pay for a child with someone like her.
Bella had a question in her mind. "Why did you want to do it naturally when it was supposed to be an IVF procedure?" she asked.
Alpha Lucian's warm breath touched her forehead. He gently pinched her, and it hurt.
