Chapter 150: The Hollow Queen

Bella didn't know how long she walked.

Didn't know where she was going.

Didn't care.

Because the moment she had left White Moon, the hunger had returned.

The darkness inside her had stopped fighting.

Because it had already won.

She was alone now.

There was no one left to stop her.

No one left to hold her back.

No one left to remind her who she used to be.

She stood at the edge of a small human town, staring down at her hands.

At the black veins curling beneath her skin.

At the thing she had become.

She had tried to fight it.

Tried to be good.

Tried to be Dante's mate.

But maybe that was never who she was meant to be.

Maybe she wasn't meant to be saved.

Bella smiled.

And this time?

There was nothing human left in it.
