We walked into the guest room and It was like stepping into the pages of a storybook, absolutely breathtaking. It emanates a majestic aura and its lavish furnishings and intricate details. The grand chandeliers overhead bathed the room in a soft, golden glow, adding an extra touch of elegance. The master bed is adorned with plush pillows and regal fabrics. Every corner of the room was carefully curated, exuding an undeniable sense of elegance and refinement.

"If you need anything please let me know." The servant says before he walks out of the room.

I steal a quick glance at Jacob, hoping to gauge his reaction, but his expression remains completely neutral. As the realization sets in that it is just the two of us now, a slight unease creeps into me.

This is not going to be weird at all, will it?

As I stepped into the room, Jacob closed the door behind us, and I headed to the bathroom to freshen up. Splashing water on my face, my gaze caught my reflection in the mirror and I release

    With a smile on his face, he responds, "You." A twinkle appears in his eyes as he continues to speak "You know, I told you that I met someone special? Well, that special person is you.""Wait, are you serious?" I ask with a smile on my face; my voice filled with a tinge of shock and excitement."What?" Jacob responds, his eyebrows furrowing in confusion. It's almost as if he is in disbelief and doesn't even realize what he said. The look on his face tells me that he is clueless about the impact of his words."You said I'm your special person?" I respond, a big smile spreading across my face. It's hard to believe that I hold such a special place in someone’s heart that is not Layla or anyone I’m related to. This truly means the world to me. "I said that?" He asks, his expression filled with disbelief and surprise.I nod enthusiastically, unable to contain my excitement. "Yes, you did! Just now!" I affirm."No way!" He denies it, shaking his head vigorously, clearly not remembering w

    ~ AUSTIN’S POVThe gentle rays of sunlight filter through the curtains, coaxing me out of my slumber. I slowly stretch my arms, sit up, and let out a satisfying yawn, feeling the sleepiness slowly fade away.I feel really good today. I feel like this day is going to go well because I feel amazing, so relaxed, and healthy. It's just such a great feeling to be in sync with my body especially after what I have been through. I suffered a great deal, but I am so thankful that the doctor put in the effort to help me feel truly relieved, even though I am aware it won't last for long.I need more than just medicines to feel better, I need my wolf to be fine because I know this treatment is not a permanent cure. It is just something I will temporarily feel relaxed about and in a few days of reality, I will go back into the dark world of pain and suffering. I don't know how things will unfold, but I am determined to put forth my utmost effort to make it succeed. I refuse to let myself endure t

    I woke up to the ray of sunlight, flashing through my window and directly on my face, I turned around groaning and slightly opening my eyes, I was undoubtedly in the most comfortable bed I'd ever been in sleeping. I laid on my back while Jacob was wrapped around me. His arm slung across my stomach and his head was above mine as he faced towards me.Our legs were tangled together mixed in with the thin grey top sheet. I smiled to myself as I looked over to see Jacob sleeping peacefully, softly snoring; he is so cute. I lifted my hand to move some hair the had fallen onto his face. He stirred slightly, snuggling closer into me while tightening his grip. Jacob liked to snuggle while he sleep and I find it very adorable. Last night was undoubtedly one of the best nights of my life not because Jacob and I kissed but because we both had the chance to truly connect and share your heartfelt moments and emotions. It's incredible how those intimate moments can leave such a lasting impact.Last

    Jacob and I are on our way home and I am nervous as fuck! I do not feel like going back home, as a matter of fact, I rather stay back and never go back. I do not think I have to explain why I don’t want to go back - we all know how Austin can be and from how he just disappeared at the party, I am guaranteed that something is up with him and not only that, I feel like he is going to be even more dangerous than he already is.I just don’t know why but I sense it. Things are going to be bad for me and Austin…. He will be the reason why. It’s strange, I know but that is just how I feel. I have been going crazy thinking and I just can’t help but wonder what it would be like if Austin finds out about me and Jacob. Will get hit me? Will he and Jacob fight? What the hell will he do? Jacob and I may not be officially committed, but we do have strong feelings for each other. So when Austin learns about our connection, it's definitely going to be a big deal. He would freak out about it and cr

    I look at my reflection one last time before heading out of the room. I am wearing the red fitted gown that Austin got for me earlier. I am still finding it difficult to believe that Austin brought a dress for me. I mean it’s just so unbelievable - it doesn’t sound like what he would want to do or even actually do it. And as much as I hate to say this, the gown is very beautiful and it fits like a glove, hugging in the right places. It is an off-shoulder gown so it is wrapped around my shoulders, showing my neck which I top up with the locket my parents gave me. It matches with all kinds of clothes. Looking at myself, I admired how the dress looked on my body before I turned away and stepped into a pair of black heels. I grabbed my purse and then headed out of the room. Walking down the stairs, I see Austin pacing around in the living room in his lavish black tux and white Oxford shoes. He is using the telephone and seems to be ranting about something as always. I can not be any m

    His words rang in my ears and I nearly choked on my food and my eyes widened in total surprise. Did I hear him right or what?"I'm sorry, what?" I ask, trying to process his words."Your eyes are beautiful, very beautiful," he repeats, emphasizing his compliment.Okay, can someone pinch me right now because I feel like I am dreaming? This can not be happening. Austin did not just compliment me - it’s not just possible. I mean, something has to be wrong with him because it’s unlike him to compliment me or anyone else. I don’t know what’s wrong with him but I do that something is going on in his head, because what he just said right now does not make sense at all. He isn’t this nice- as a matter of fact, he is never nice. Maybe something happened to him, after all, he has been gone for a couple of days so I will not be that surprised if he isn’t the one talking to me right now. I mean, he is acting very different than before and it’s kind of freaking me out. Austin never compliments m

    I am currently in the kitchen, preparing a steaming cup of coffee for Austin. I am not entirely sure why he specifically asked me to make coffee for him but it’s alright because I did not have any other plans at the moment and making a cup of coffee for him is not a big deal- well I won’t be if he appreciates it and doesn’t pour it away like he did to his former secretary. I got that information from Jacob, not that he told me personally but I heard it when he was speaking to his pack members about it.Speaking of Jacob, I got the chance to speak to him and explain to him why I did what I did and he totally understands. In fact, we are so cool, he and I are going to watch the movies together tonight. It won’t cause any problems because it’s a normal thing for the pack members to watch movies on a Thursday, just that I will be joining him and instead of inviting all the pack members, it’s just going to be me and him. Once the coffee is ready, I carefully pour it into his treasured co

    "Because I don’t want to be in one of your paintings anymore." I voice out Austin's face drops, a mix of astonishment and disbelief written all over his features. I can sense that my words have caught him off guard, and the expression on his face makes it clear that this is not going to go well."I know about the painting Austin," I said.I never forgot about that painting - I just never could. I wanted to confront Austin and let him know how frustrating and unacceptable it is to paint something like that about me. But every time I tried to talk to him, my mind would wander to Jacob, and just like that the fear of getting caught grips me and I lost the confidence to confront him. But right now, he will have to speak. There is absolutely no way I am going to allow Austin to get away with this. He has and will have to be held accountable and provide a thorough explanation for why he decided to paint that portrait of me. "You had no right to paint a nude picture of me Austin," I state

    Hi guys👋 I know most of you didn’t expect the book to end this way, most of you wanted Jacob to be back but sadly it didn’t happen. However the last chapter ended with a cliffhanger so there may or may not be a “book two” it all depends on what the platform wants. I hope they accept “book 2” because I have so many uncovered secrets to tell and of course, I have a character that I will love to bring back. Anyways, please support me by recommending the book, commenting, voting, and reviewing it. The more support I get, the more the chances of the “book 2”being accepted sooner. I had a lovely time writing this book and now that it’s over, I couldn’t be any more excited to write the “book 2” of it. Thank you so much, everyone, have a lovely holiday and new year. P.S.

    ~ AUSTIN’S POV Just like every single night, this scene keeps playing over and over in my head; a nightmare. It's etched in there, haunting me like the sound of a thunderstorm that won't let up. I can see it vividly, like a movie playing in my head. Jacob, he's there, begging for mercy. His voice and pleads are dancing in my ears, echoing and lingering. I wish I could do something to help him, I wish I could rush in and save him, hold him close, and tell him that everything's gonna be alright. But I'm stuck. It's like I'm frozen in time, unable to change what will happen no matter how much I try. I can see the killer attacking Jacob, he isn’t saying anything but his silence scares me. I watch him take slow steps closer to Jacob like a lion ready to prey. Though I can’t see his face, I can tell that he is dangerously aggressive. From his moves to his body to the shape bloody axe he is holding; it all screams danger and death. My heart immediately starts to race a mile a minute as

    "Layla, are you done getting ready?" I ask, stepping out of my room. "Yes and I'm right here," she replies with her cute little voice, peeking out from the corner. I turn to look at her, and my eyes light up with delight at her appearance. "Wow, you look absolutely stunning!" I exclaim, unable to hide my admiration. "Thanks, Bell! I really love this dress. It's definitely the best Christmas gift ever," she says, her face beaming with joy as I wrap my arms around her. As we pull away, I can't help but smile. "Oh, silly girl!" I cup her face "The dress is just a present, not your actual Christmas gift. That's waiting for you under the tree." "Really? Can I open it now?" she asks eagerly, her excitement palpable. "No, sweetheart. We have to wait until after dinner," I reply, trying to contain her impatience. "Okay," she says, though her tone hints at her eagerness to tear into the presents. She's always like this when it comes to Christmas gifts. As we descend the stairs, I feel L

    ~ BELLA’S POVThose weeks seemed to pass by in a blur, and little by little, I felt my heart and soul healing. The pain and confusion I once felt about why Samaria tried to hurt me started to fade away. It finally clicked in my mind that she did it because she wanted to be with Austin. I can understand her perspective, but I can't help but think that her approach was completely wrong and unacceptable.If she had just talked to me, she would have known that my heart never throbbed for Austin. He's always been just a friend to me, nothing more than that. It's frustrating to think that if she had followed the right path, she could have had Austin without causing all this unnecessary pain. But alas, she didn't realize it.A lot has changed in the past few weeks, and I've noticed some interesting things. Layla has been doing so much better lately. She's not spending all her time sleeping anymore, which is a huge relief. And as for Austin, he seems to be a lot happier overall. But there are

    Samaria stood in front of me, her eyes fixed on mine, waiting for a response. I tried to meet her gaze, but something held me back. Was it because I still had feelings for her, or was it just my own anxiety getting in the way?"I don't love you anymore," I say, looking into her eyes. It's hard to believe I actually said it, but strangely, I don't feel as anxious as I thought I would. It's like my heart knows it's the truth and it feels liberating to finally be honest."No!" she shakes her head, refusing to accept it. "You're lying to me. I can't believe this.""You have to leave now. I don't have time for this," I inform her, trying to be firm."No, you can't just tell me to leave, Austin. You need me," she insists."I don't need you," I reply, my tone resolute."Yes, you do. You need me," she repeats, holding on to hope."The door is that way, please," I point towards the exit, choosing to ignore her plea."I can't leave, especially when you need me," she says."For the love of God,

    ~ AUSTIN’S POVSamaria is definitely behind this. She has to be the one who tried to drug Bella, it only makes sense that way because she was the only one present there and she had the pill bottle with her. I am not so sure of this but I find it very much believable that she can do something of such. She’s done a similar thing in the past so I won’t be that much surprised if she tried to do it again. I have been constantly thinking about this and I want to let it slide but at the same time, I can’t. It’s hard to let go of a matter that is more of a life-and-death situation. Samaria must have been fully aware of the purpose and effects of the medication to intentionally use it on Bella.Leaning against the chair, I try to reason it, all pieces of this situation tell me how badly Samaria is behind this. I mean, first, she gets extremely upset at Bella for no particular reason and then suddenly she tries to get to know her better…. I knew something was off the moment Bella told me that

    ~ AUSTIN’S POVI have done a lot of thinking and I believe this is best for me. I just have to do it no matter how hard it is or how much it’s going to hurt me. I know this is going to be extremely tough but I believe I can handle it. I have dealt with so many tough things and even though I know that this won’t be easy, I believe I can do it. I have spent years being in constant pain, just trying to strive and be myself. I think that everything will be fine if I just go back to Samaria. She has always been the one my heart desires and maybe, just maybe her words are true and she wants to be back together. I know it's a long shot and I've said in the past that I don't want to be with her, but the truth is, my heart yearns for her. Every part of me is calling out her name, and all I can think about is spending the rest of my life with her.I thought of letting her go and just be with Bella but what if Bella doesn’t want to be with me? What if she wants to be with someone else? I mean B

    ~ AUSTIN’S POVI'm feeling super overwhelmed with all these thoughts and emotions flooding my brain. It's like my mind is running a marathon, going a mile a minute! And the craziest part is that I can't seem to control my own thoughts. It's like they have a mind of their own, trying to take over the little space in my head.And it only gets more confusing and complicated because, for some reason, Jacob keeps popping into my head, and that's so out of the blue because I usually never think about him. I try my best to keep him out of my mind to avoid getting hurt, but it's like he's on repeat in my thoughts and I can't hit the pause button. It's driving me nuts. I wish I had a magic trick to make those thoughts disappear, but unfortunately, I'm still figuring it out myself.It's been a tough week for me, and I didn't make it to the cemetery to meet Jacob because of all these negative thoughts clouding my mind. It's so strange how my thoughts keep circling back to Jacob, even though I ca

I really need to put an end to this madness so Bella and I can have the perfect peace we deserve.I am pretty sure that I sound like a bad sister but trust me, I’m not the bad sister, Bella is. She is the one who is trying to take my man away from me. She is the one that trying to impose hateful comments about me on Austin. She is the one that ruined my life and now, I am going to make her feel the same. The only difference is that it won’t hurt as much as it did to me. I've got my plan intact in mind to ensure Bella rests in perfect peace before Austin returns home. After doing some research, I discovered that taking that large amount of pills would lead to death, but it takes time for them to take effect. All I am wishing now is for Austin to not come back before then, as I don
