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
Katerina's POV"Stop following us, will you?" I grit out, turning to face Becca who let out a stupid wide smile.Damn! I hate this bitch! How she survives is what I don't understand.The last time I checked, every being apart from werewolves and human beings was brutally murdered by the werewolves.Why they killed them? Because we're not been submissive to them."I'm not following you," Becca replies with a smirk on her lips. "I'm following my friend"Her friend? Since when does Isobel become her friend?That's why I'll never get along with a witch. They'll know something but keeps you in the dark.They're worst than those who killed us."She's not your friend!" I perch my hand against my hips."Says you," she scoffs. "C'mon, we have to go check on her Aunt. Why are you being a clingy girlfriend?"I open my mouth to reply, but a soft tug on my wrist makes me whirl my head to Isobel."It's fine," Isobel shakes her head. "Let's go together then."But I don't want to be anywhere with thi
Javier's POVI wake up with a start. The loud howl of the trumpet blew hotly into my ear.Hissing, I slide down the bed, throw on a thick jacket and make my way out of the room."He's been found!" Jake falls in step with me. He throws his jacket on and tries to let his hair lies flat on his head.I guess we all have been woken up by the loud howl.I sigh. This is another day to witness another death.No! To kill another, yet one of us."Don't you think it's unfair?" Jake suddenly ask, earning himself a curious look from me."What's unfair?" I narrow my gaze."That we kill those who's been mated to a human. Don't you think it's unfair? "I crease my brow, pressing my fingers on my temples.Oh yeah! Right! It's unfair... Especially to me who's mated to a human and cannot even reject her.What a life filled with injustice that I live."Maybe," I scoff. "It might be unfair for some.""For some?" He scoffs. "Do you think they wanted to be mated to a human?"Oh! I'd think like that if only
Isobel POVI wake up to a light tap on my arm, and I flutter my eyes open.Groaning, I find my hand around the table next to the bed, taking my glasses and putting them on.The room comes into view, and the little ray of light in the lightbulb glows directly into my eyes."You're awake," says Aunt, her hand swiping my hair off my face. "How was your night?"Not good. My night hasn't been good ever since the day I encountered Javier.He always tried to kill me in my dreams."Good," I mutter. "And yours?"I slide down the bed, twisting my neck to ease through the numbness in it.I did not go home yesterday... Well, my new home. My Aunt wants me to stay with her in the hospital till the next morning, and well, I'd done it."I'll use the bathroom now. I have to prepare for school."Nodding, I make my way into the one small bathroom in her ward to have my bath.I wonder, with a heavy heart, how they're going to react to my absence yesterday... I never inform anyone about me coming here or
