Isobel POV"C'mon, Bel, you can tell me what happened?"Katrina says for the tenth time, pulling my hand and staring intensely into my eyes.I try so hard to blink back my tears; something that seems so hard to do.I don't want to believe it, but no matter how hard I try to push the thought out of my mind, it keeps rushing in.His mouth on mine, kissing me.Ah! That's my first kiss, and I lost it to no one else but Javier.I want to cry, hit myself, and curse myself. But no matter how hard I cry, the kiss still happens.Javier took my first kiss.Blinking back my tears, I shake my head and manage a faint smile on my lips."I'm fine," I smile. "Javier did nothing wrong to me yesterday.""I don't believe it." She hisses. "Tell me exactly what's going on. Why you've been moody since yesterday."I'd rather die than tell her that Javier kissed me.I know Rina more than anything, no! I won't be selfish enough to put her in more danger"I'm fine," I repeat. "Can we g
Isobel POVMy eyes burn, hot tears threatening to spill from my eyes as Javier's hand glides over my thigh.I'm aware of the numerous eyes that glare at me, puncturing holes into my skull as though I'm the one who's so desperate to sit with their so-called idol, but I'm much aware of the hand that's desperately trying to dive into my skirt.My hand shakes on the table, and my heart thuds so hard in my chest it hurts.What is he trying to do? No, why is he doing this to me?It's enough with all their glares, and the hatred they'd be nurturing in their mind, why is Javier making my life messier and hard every day?I hold my breath, and my right-hand balls into a fist on my lap.I pray, desperately hope that someone is seeing what he's doing and is willing to stop him.I can't...I don't want to..."Hey," Javier leans in to whisper in my ear and I flinch, my head making rd contact with the head chair."Why," his hand skims over my thigh, his hot breath fanning my neck. "Why are you maki
Isobel POV"It's me, I'm her niece!"I cry to the nurse sitting at the reception desk the moment I rush into the hospital. "Where is my aunt!"Why is this happening to me? First was my parents, and now my aunt.My body shakes in fear. What if anything happens to my Aunt? What if she does not survive it?"It's going to be fine" Katrina mumbles, rubbing my back softly.But she did not sound sure too, and that can only worsen the situation."Isobel right?"I nod.The nurse stares at me, her eyes sizing me up as though she does not believe what I just said, then she sighs, and moves away from the desk."Follow me,""Is she alright?" I ask."Yes, it's just a slight shock."No! A shock can never be slight, and she can't go into a shock without reason.Why?The last time it happened to me was when I was twelve years old when my parents were declared dead.I'd spent two months in the hospital, getting treated for a heart problem after the shock.What if... No!I grab Katrina's hand the momen
Isobel POV After putting the boxes in the truck, Jake opens the car door for me.I lower my gaze, hiding my flustered cheeks away from his sight as I hop in.It's today. I'm moving from my house today. Leaving the only place filled with my parents' last memories.I sigh, blinking back my tears.Apart from leaving my home, Katerina won't even come to see me, nor does she pick up my calls.Yeah! I agree that what I did was wrong... To someone who'd do anything for me; it's like the most selfish thing I could ever do.I sigh again, resting my head on the seat."Are you okay?" Jake asks, stopping briefly to pass me a glance."Hmm" I nodSighing, Jake steps on the brake, screeching the car to a halt.I raise myself, blinking up at Jake who has his gaze settled on me."If this is about Katerina," he mutters. "She'll come around."Of course, I desperately hope she'll come around.It's just in the heat of the moment. I truly won't speak to her like that or ever doubt her
Javier POV I run a frustrated hand through my hair and my other hand clenches beside me. Fuck! The moon goddess knows how much I'm trying so hard, resisting myself from barging in there, and dragging her out.It's enough with her being my mate, and now what? She'll be living under the same roof as me."It's frustrating, isn't it?" Zeke groans.More than frustrating! The fucking mate bond is still so strong, and that makes my heart hurt anytime I see her with another guy.What if... What if it just happens suddenly and I find myself claiming her?"And that's why we should reject her""Damn!" I kick some pebbles off the ground, running another frustrated hand through my hair.It's not on my call to reject her. I'm the next Alpha, I need a mate, but not someone as weak as her!"Get a lot going through your mind, I presume"Hearing a familiar voice behind me, I whirl around to face Daniel with his signatory bow and arrows perch firmly on his back."Going hunting?" I smirk, "or practicing
Isobel POVAfter laying on my bed, I make my way out of my room.It still struck me as a dream to think that I'm here, living under the same roof as Javier, but no matter how hard I try to wake up from this dream, I realize it's my reality already.Sighing, I run my hand over my bang, adjusting my glasses as I make my way down to where I'll be working today.Oh. Sorry, but I've already been given work, I'll do the cleaning and laundry, while my Aunt works in the kitchen when she gets well.This order was given by Luna."Luna" I repeat.It feels so strange and weird to see these people using code to call each other.I don't know what they mean by Luna or Alpha, but I'm not that curious to find out.All I need is to live a quiet life in this building and try as hard as possible to avoid Javier."Morning, Isobel."My face heats up, blood gushes down to my ear on hearing the familiar manly voice call behind me.I bite my lower lip, mentally cursing myself for being vulnerable just. ar th
Isobel POV "Oh! It's already happening!"I let out a short yelp, flinching as Becca slaps her food tray on the table. "Sorry, not a good entry!" She adds with a mockery bow.This is not like when n I met her that night. No! Now I get a different vibe...I do not want to be with her, nor do I want to have anything to do with her.Maybe because of that night, or because of the way she's looking now.Becca does not change her hair, it's still of a different streak of colors; brown, blonde, black, burgundy, and even blue."You must have been meaning to see me haven't you?" A tricky smile unfurls on her lips and a kind of glint that makes me shudder flashes through her eyes."No!"Katrina slaps her food tray on the table, slumping down on the chair before she levels a glare at Becca. "We want you out of here!"Becca rolls her eyes, then she settles them on Katrina with a frown latched on her face."Oh..." She mumbles with a wide fake smile. "Are you afraid? That I might tell her w
Javier's POV"Which do you want to hear first?" The sage repeats, his deep cat eyes piercing deeply into mine; their intensity almost burning me down to the ground.I take another step back, trying so hard to control my savage beating. My heart slams hard against my chest it hurts.What went wrong? Does the moon goddess reveal to him that there be Alpha has been cursed?: Mated to a human?"Are you okay, Javier?" Rose calls out, tugging at my wrist but I jerk it quickly away from her.If this is true, there's no way out, I'm surrounded by almost every soldier in the pack, and here before me, is the ruthless Alpha who won't think before he wages his sword at me.Tch! Of course, he's an Alpha before he's a Dad.Sucking in a deep breath, I look from Mom to Alpha Caine before I settle my gaze back on the sage.I'm aware of every eye on me. Oh! I became the center of attention the moment "the Sage" mentioned his reasons for being here."We won't get killed as long as we reject
