17. Finding a Solution
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56I stiffened while Alpha Caius’ smirk remained intact in its place. I heard someone come up and stand beside me. From my peripheral vision, I saw Marcus. “I apologize, Alpha but we are not allowed to leave our Luna alone. That too, with an inmate wolf.”
It was hard jibe, one meant to be a polite way of saying ‘fuck off', and I almost winced thinking of what alpha Caius may think. Before he could take it in any other way, I said, “What he meant to say is, my mate alpha Isaac is slightly over-possessive, and like any other newly mated pair, it was tough for him to part ways so it would not be a good thing if you decided to speak to me alone. Marcus and James are our loyal men, so feel free to ask anything about Isaac. As for how your friend is, he is well. He couldn’t attend this meeting because of some of his personal problems, which I am afraid I can’t divulge even thoug

My pride at being able to find a solution and be a responsible luna, if not for real, but in pretence and being able to gain everyone’s praise was short-lived. Marcus and James were conversing as we got out of the car. They sounded nervous and spoke so softly that it was difficult for me to decipher. I decided to ignore it. Since it was already evening and I was dying to go back to bed and have some food in my stomach. The nerve-wracking day had taken away my appetite and now that the meeting was over, I felt famished. I turned around to bid farewell to the two men who acknowledged me with a curt nod. Marcus’ eyes looked concerned, but I was oblivious to the unwanted surprise that was awaiting me. I walked towards the room, taking longer strides than necessary. The resident was silent and eerie as usual, but in these weeks the eeriness and its constant silence had grown
Alpha Isaac 19. Heat
[Warning: Dubious consent] The moment I woke up, I felt every part of my body being consumed by fire and pain. I moaned in pain and curled up further to relieve myself from the immense pain. Why did I feel like this? The pain shouldn’t have been so bad. I never felt like this before. The sun was not high enough up in the sky for Clarissa or Venessa to come to my room. I wished they would. I could call for them through the bell they had provided but it was proving to be a Herculean task to even move my finger. I screwed my eyes shut and breathed through my mouth, the contraction of my core muscles made me choke. I don’t know for how long I had been like that but maybe I had drifted off because when I peeled my eyes open, Clarissa was hovering nervously on my bedside. “Clari…ssa…” God,
Alpha Isaac 20. An Insulting Move
When I woke up, it was midday. It didn’t feel like my whole body was being consumed by fire nor was there any mind-numbing pain. I was experiencing a strange calmness. At the back of my mind, I knew this was temporary bliss before another wave would wash over my body and once again, I’d have to seek the Alpha. The thought left an unpleasant bitterness in my mouth. “How do you feel, Luna?” Georgia’s voice cut through my thoughts. I blinked slowly before turning to the source and realized other than her, Clarissa and Vanessa were also present. They hovered at the foot of the bed while Georgia was given a chair beside the bed to sit. “I…” My voice came out raspy. Clarissa scrambled to hand me a glass of water. “Thank you.” I sat up partially, leaning against the headboard, and took a small sip. I avoided Georgia’s concer
Alpha Isaac 21. Concern or Concealment?
I dragged my feet by the time we were in the main hall. Helen led me to a table surrounded by four wooden chairs. The scraping sound was louder than saul as I pulled a chair and sat down heavily. “What did you mean?” My voice sounded raspy. Helen didn’t answer immediately. She picked up the jug kept at the centre of the table and poured water into the glass that was kept beside and placed it in front of me. I turned my head slightly, letting my gaze stray towards the corridor leading to my room. Helen cleared her throat and I turned back to the table. I blandly stared at the glass before my gaze flickered to Helen. Her lips stretched into a terse smile. “I would suggest you take one of the pills. You look like you will go into heat any time now and that would be bad for both of you.” My eyebrows dipped. How did she know?
Alpha Isaac 22. Accepting Defeat and Defying
I wheezed as I sprinted towards the residence. The evening had already crept in, making the trees appear inky and brooding. When I had rushed out of the room, I didn’t see Helen on my way out and I was relieved. I didn’t want her to see my tear-stained face and humiliated self. I stopped just a few feet away from the door that led back to the residence, surrounded by high walls and rules. The place where people considered me as their Luna. I planted my hands above my knees and bent slightly, gulping in some much-needed breath. My heart was still drumming wildly, my body was sweat-drenched and my face was an open book of the disgrace that I had just been subjected to. However, the familiar dull ache in my stomach, the itchy feeling, the haze was all coming back. My vision blurred. I straightened up, but my feet felt wobbly. I swayed and suddenly collapsed on the forest grounds. I sat b
Alpha Isaac 23. Caius' Blatant Offer
The following morning, I woke up alone, languid and slow. From the unkempt part of the room and the silence, I knew Clarissa wasn’t here. I didn't linger on that for long as I pushed myself off the bed and went about my morning routine. I stared and watched as my hands performed the routine tasks on autopilot. It almost felt like I was watching someone else. When I came out dressed to go out, I heard a knock on the door. “Enter.” I knew it wasn’t Clarissa. Instead, it was Nerissa, her sister. She mutely placed the tray on the coffee table and asked, “Would Luna like me to assist in something else?” I could hear the curt tone under the polite decorum. I shook my head. “Thank you but that will be all.” She didn’t wait around. I regarded the food tray for some time before sighing and sitting down to put some calories in my system.
Alpha Isaac 24. Responsible
I let out a scream before jumping into action. I knew what had made this wolf attack. My heat. Despite profusely sweating, I had to keep my head clear. I crawled back while the wolf practically began pawing and scratching the car, trying to rip it open. My hands shook as I unlocked the backseat door and jumped out even though I knew it was a rookie and a stupid mistake. But I didn’t care. Being trapped and being raped sounded far more horrible than being chased. I didn’t let myself ponder much on the horror as I began running. Instead of taking the road, I chose the forest because of the number of camouflages it provided. My legs hurt from the amount of energy I was using to run. I could feel myself run out of breath, my heart aching with every inhale, but I was far from safe. The wolf, I don’t know why, didn't stop chasing me. He was not even transforming, which was maybe because he didn't want me to recognise him but he should have known I was new i
Alpha Isaac 25. Years of Pain
I let out a shuddering breath. What? My gaze remained pinned on the brightly lit screen and the glaring message, stared until the screen turned black. What did he mean by…that? Did he…did he kill Caius? But…that can’t be possible since his message was delivered minutes before Isaac’s. Then? I sucked in a breath. The wolf with blue eyes? He was an alpha. Oh, Goddess….oh no. Lifting the covers, I got off the bed. Immediately the whole room seemed to spin. I sat down heavily, exhaling another shaky breath. My heartbeat had picked up with the palpitation and the anxiety. I contemplated calling for Georgia, but what will I say? Nothing between Isaac and I was normal. I sighed and lay down on the bed once again. My eyelids suddenly felt too heavy and fluttered shut on their own accord. I will deal with him tomorrow, o

Alpha Isaac Epilogue
[Kathryn]“Do not exert yourself. Keep letting Isleen heal you a little every day,” Ayeshna says sternly as the three of us sit in her small chamber. She briefly smiles at Isleen before flickering her gaze at Isaac. “And Alpha Isaac, since you have more than one wolf and one of them is severely weak, try to get into fewer fights and don’t even try to transform into either wolf for at least a month. As the Shadow Pack’s doctor and Kathryn’s former colleague, I wouldn’t want you to bring my name down.” Although the last words were said in jest, Isaac nods somberly. He has been like that, a lot milder than he used to be. “He will, doc,” Isleen chirps from where she perches on her father’s lap. Although she was big enough now, to Isaac, she was his pup whom he wanted to spoil and indulge, giving her whatever he couldn’t for the past five years. Isaac lightly tickles her before pecking at the top of her head. Isleen giggles delightfully, but doesn’t squirm out of his hold. My lips tip u
Alpha Isaac 64. The Unthinkable Reunion
[Kathryn]I watch, bewildered, as Isleen begins the healing process. Isaac tries to move his hand, but her grip only tightens. “Honey-” I try to protest because she is still so weak. She can barely keep her eyes open. Isaac glances at me, panicked. What if we lose her in the process? Astrid whines woefully, “Can’t…” Isleen mumbles as she places her free hand on top of Isaac’s.“I am sure Clement will hold out till you get well, sweetheart,” Isaac says softly, but I can hear the desperation in his tone. I need to think fast because Isleen is hellbent on saving Clement. “Honey… I.. I am like you. Mom can heal as well. Let me heal papa for the while and when you get better, you can do the rest,” I babble, hoping she will give in. I can heal him, but Isleen is already stronger as a healer. She can sense wolves, and locate injuries better than I did at her age. Hell, I didn’t even know I was a white wolf. Isleen is far more mature for her age, smarter and wiser, and I am not even being
Alpha Isaac 63. A Flicker of Hope
[Isaac]When I woke up, the first thing I felt was a deep, yawning, and painful emptiness, and Dyson’s mourning silence. For a moment, I had thought that I was back in the past where one of my wolves was subdued, so much so that I had initially thought that he was gone for good, but then I remembered the events, of me killing that witch, of her revealing the deadly curse breaker that she had formulated, and then Clement….Kathryn….Her and Isleen’s thoughts made me stumble out of bed, rip the IV off my arm and stagger out of the unfamiliar room into an even more unfamiliar corridor. When I managed to find my mate’s room-“What the fuck are you doing out here? Go back and take a rest,” I heard the voice of the man I did not want to at the moment.Caius Tenebris.It was when I saw Caius, my restraint almost snapped. I almost pounced on him, and would have probably fought at the sight of him in my mate’s room, had Harmony and the doctor not intervened. “Calm down, Isaac. You are injured
Alpha Isaac 62. Grieving
[Kathryn]‘Kathy, wake up,’ Astrid’s voice fills my mind but it sounds distant still. ‘You need to wake up,’ she says again. Why does she sound so…hurt?I want to open my eyes but it feels as if I can’t. ‘We are mostly healed. Try and wake up. Please,’ her voice sounds so urgent. I try as she suggested and after some time, my eyes blink open. I am familiar with the white walls, and the sterile smell, but what gnaws at me is the pain and a certain emptiness. My heart stutters as a horrible thought engulfs my mind. “Isaac…” I croak out. “Thank the fucking Goddess,” I hear a familiar voice. I turn towards the source and spot Caius walking up to my bedside, looking tired. “Where’s..?”“Oh stop taking that moron’s name,” he interjects, annoyed, but I don’t miss the worry lines that form at the edges of his lips. I stare at my stomach and notice that it has been bandaged. “What?...” I feel confused because why am I…Oh….The memories gush back as if a floodgate has been opened. Isl
Alpha Isaac 61. A Sacrifice is Made
[warning: violence and gore]IsaacWatching Kathryn slowly collapse and her pain lancing through my body is the last straw. Why did I not take a stance before Zephyr harmed my mate? Why did I stand still, like an imbecile, when I should have protected them? I should have taken charge beforehand. But I let the guilt take a backseat as searing pain and anger courses through my body. I lunge towards her, a pained growl ripping through my lips. She collapses in my arms, a dead weight. I don’t dare to remove the dagger, but seeing her so pale and her lips turning blue, I carefully lay her on the floor and then shift my angry gaze towards Zephyr. ‘She deserves to die.’ Clement and Dyson snarl together. They take rein together, combining their powers. Zephyr smirks and steps away from Isleen. “Ah, so you can even transform into both of your wolves now.”It’s a struggle to keep them both in charge. I pounce at her but she teleports to another place. “I am here,” she calls from behind. D
Alpha Isaac 60. A Sadistic Choice
KathrynMy blood is pounding in my ears as Felice continues to unravel her true self. When I met the woman, I had never thought that the woman who made Isaac believe that she was a well-wisher scares me. I glance at my mate’s ashened face. Then my gaze flickers to Felice… no Zephyr's lips curve up further. My attention shifts to my daughter, blissfully oblivious to the chaos. Only if Isleen had her wolf. Astrid could communicate. Astrid would find a way, but she is only a child. A gullible child. I blink back the tears that threaten to fall. I can’t show my weakness in front of this witch. I glower at her as she pleasantly looks back, no doubt taking a sadistic pleasure from watching us suffer. Isaac has put up his mental block again so that I can neither feel nor hear his thoughts. I don’t have the capability to keep up mine, not at this time. But I am sure that he is tearing himself apart inwardly and that makes me want to kill this woman this instant.When my gaze flickers back t
Alpha Isaac 59. We Meet again
IsaacMarcus’ urgent call through mind-link floods in just as I am about to start patrolling. There have been some disconcerting things around the south of the pack and I don’t want my half-brother and step-mother or the former luna to jeopardize anything. ‘Alpha…’Marcus’ distressed tone is enough to alert me. ‘What? Are Kathryn and Isleen alright?’ I ask and I get my answer when I let my mental block down. Kathryn’s turmoil and distress wash over me like an unpleasant sensation. I am already turning and sprinting towards the pack house. “Keep patrolling,” I holler and get a chorus of ‘Yes, alpha’ from behind. ‘Julianne reported that Isleen is missing,’ Marcus informs and I screech to a halt. ‘What?’ I jog towards the residence. I can’t transform into either wolf now because both of them want to take the lead. Kathryn’s distress is transforming into anger slowly and I am sure that if I don’t reach in time then she will wreck havoc. Heck, I want to do the same. But one of us has
Alpha Isaac 58. A Cruel woman for a mother
KathrynWhen I finally managed to put Isleen to sleep, after promising her a tour of the place the next morning, I slowly closed the door behind me and returned to our room.I halt at the sight of Isaac, changing clothes in the middle of the room. My gaze traces every scar and muscle of his broad back. My heartbeat notches up. This… feels so unfamiliar. “Will you be standing there all night or come to me?” he murmurs. My cheeks feel warm as I lower my gaze and cross the room until I am behind him. I wrap my arms around his midriff as soon as he is done wearing the t-shirt. “What did you want to say?” I murmur against his back. His hands come to join mine. He then turns around without breaking the hold and looks at me. His hands encircle my waist. “I didn’t want to say anything. You were the one who stood a few feet away from me and admired me while I changed for the night.” There’s a smugness in his tone and I am unable to decide whether to be mad or just be happy with the develop
Alpha Isaac 57. Being Defended for the First Time
Kathryn I stiffen on hearing the words, spewed out like venom. I stare at Helen, dumbfounded. She looks furious, eyes burning with hatred and disgust. White wolf. The word sounds so dirty that it makes me flinch. “What did you say?” Isaac says, his voice barely audible, but he looks livid. His fingers flex around my waist. The warm and welcoming atmosphere has changed into something frigid and tense. “You will question your mother for her?” Helen points an accusing finger at me. “She is a white wolf and that is a cause of disgust to you? Why? Her wolf’s color is white, mine is black, Marcus' is brown. What does color have to do with how that person or their wolf is?” Isaac bellows. I, on my part, stare at him. My heart seems to be pounding in my ears and my legs feel wobbly. When have I ever hoped or imagined that he, of all people, would defend me/ That he would accept me the way I am. Never. I never expected this from him, I still remember him threatening me for being a
