I was shaking in anger as I stormed into my room. My parents had been in the sitting room talking about something but I didn't care to pause or stop to greet them - I was too angry to pay heed to anyone. Once I got to my room, I flung myself to the bed, and shut my eyes tightly as if they would, in any way, take away the anger or the whole reality of the mess surrounding me. It didn't. The anger only built because closing my eyes made me remember the princess slash monster and her words. /You cannot stop them./ So what then is the point of all these? What exactl;y were we doing here? If we cannot stop them, if really nothing can be done, that means I was just wasting my precious time. Might as well just sit, live my life and allow the monsters to kill and kill until they get to me. At least I knew what was coming and whatever time I had left I could make use of it to live to the fullest. But it didn't make any sense. If truly nothing could be done about this - if there was t
"Run, Bee,” A voice echoed through her head as she tore through the woods, her little feet bare and aching, dashing against stones. “Run as fast as you can. Do not look back, do not stop, do not worry. I will find you soon,"She could see him in her mind’s eye. An old man standing at the edge of the forest, holding up a silver moon necklace that gleamed in the dark night. “Run Bee!”And she ran. For hours until her feet couldn’t take any more. She ran until her knees grew feeble. Until the trees morphed into cackling shadows around her, mocking the poor little girl lost in the forest. Bee fell to her knees, clamped her eyes shut, terrified to be all alone. The old man had promised to come. He would come with his shining necklace and all the dark shadows would be gone. And so she curled up on shrub covered ground and waited. But he never came. Isabella’s eyes flashed open to see a gleaming white ceiling staring down rather boringly at her. She had the weird dream again. That was th
"What?" A sharp pan seared into Isabella, licking at her veins, burning like wildfire in her blood. She hunched over, hearing Luna yell over it all. She clutched her chest, struggling to breathe through the pain as she stared at Damian's cold eyes. He looked remorseful but resolved. His jaw clenched as he watched her writhe and in that moment, she hated him. Hated that he had caused her to feel pain. "Why?" She murmured, weakly. "I am sorry," He whispered, looking away guiltily. "Sorry?" She chuckled, straightening. He had caused her pain, humiliated her before everyone in the pack and he had the guts to say a flimsy "sorry" to her? What had she done to deserve such a horror from the Moon goddess? She had been good, hell all her life, for as long as she could remember, she had done her best to be good, so why? Why, Damn it! She would not cry. Not before the entire pack. Not when Damian had torn her down like this before them. "Damian," The Alpha bellowed, walking over to
Sean remained silent. Isabella watched his eyes slowly turn blue and his face grow cold. Her heart skipped in fear, and she pulled away from him slowly, already expecting the worst. "Sean?" she called, alarmed when he simply rose up and walked out of the room. Shit! Shit! She had messed up. Her heart pounded wildly in her chest, and she sank into her bed, trying to process the entire encounter. Werewolves got second chance mates. That was a widely known fact. What were the odds that both mates would be men she grew up with? Her door creaked open, and Isabella sat up quickly hoping it was Sean. Her face fell when she saw Luna standing at the door, curious and concerned. "Isabella?" she called, walking into the room, "I saw Sean leave in a hurry. He did not do anything to you, did he?" Of course, she thought the worst about her own son, Isabella thought sadly. The same man who had helped her right before everyone, away from the prying eyes and cruel whispers. Sean was the kindest
Isabella's heart raced as she stared at the man before her. A man she was sure she had never for once, seen in her life, but it still felt like she was staring at herself.Her breath caught in her throat, and her mind reeled with confusion.What's he talking about?Surely, it cannot be true.The Luna, sensing Isabella's shock, rose gracefully from her seat and moved to Isabella's side, gently taking her trembling hand in a reassuring grip. Isabella's gaze flickered to the Luna, questioning her with her eyes.With a shaky voice, She finally managed to speak, her words quivering with disbelief, “What… what is going on here?”The man, who could as well be her identical twin, took a step closer, his voice soft.“Isabella, I know this is hard to believe. I'm your brother. My name is Daug.”She raised her brow, “Your name is Dog?”He chuckled, “No. D-A-U-G. It's kind of a nickname that stuck. I'm Jayden.”Jayden.That name too sounds vaguely familiar. Just so vaguely.But Jayden is such a
“Excuse me?” Isabella gasped staggering back because surely he wasn't serious.But he looked serious. She could see it in his eyes, how serious and intent he was.This was a man on a mission.“Of course,” Jay responded, staring at her as if she's the one being ridiculous, “I have found you now, Bella thanks to the goddess. You must come home without haste.”“Surely you don't expect me to just pack my bags and follow you, do you?”“Why the hell not?”“Because, it doesn't work that way. I have a life here, I have a home here - a family. I can't just abandon all those in the blink of an eye.”Her brother blinked at her, “But your rightful place is in Nightingale. That's where you belong. That is where your true family is.”“We are her true family here.” The Luna chimed in but her husband placed a hand on her lap, giving her a warning look.“Listen,” not knowing what to do with her hands other than fidget, Isabella took her brother's in hers and squeezed them lightly, “I understand you. I
Isabella was stunned speechless and she stood staring at her brother. She wanted to say something - perhaps a reassurement that she would do what needed to be done, would have been nice but it seems she was incapable of forming coherent thoughts at the moment.Although Jayson didn't look he minded.He gave her a half smile, “That must be a lot.” Isavella released a breath not bothering to hide how bothered she actually was.“What do I know about leading a pack? What do I know about being a better leader? I mean - it's just….”“The duty is yours because the goddess believes that you have what it takes to be a leader. You might not exactly have it all figured out now, but you will always have me. And you grew up with one of the best Alphas around here so it might not be as difficult as you think.”“Dad never came for me,” she blurted out, having no idea where that came from but still continued, “he told me to run. I remember he told me to run - and I did. And he never came for me.”Jay
Chapter 07Isabella would not say she was surprised when the shock on Sean's face quickly got replaced by a blank mask and expression.Did it hurt her? Definitely.But surprised? No.She knew what was coming - suspected so she slowly backed away as if distance would stop whatever Sean's response would be from hurting.“You are not serious.” Sean signed.“I am one hundred percent serious. You can come with me - nobody here values you anyway. You will become Aloha, by my side and -”Sean held his hand up, cutting her off.“It’s not that easy.”“Not that easy, or you just don't want to.”His hands moved frantically, “You don't seem to understand what's going on here. No matter how much you want this, or how much I do - it cannot be. It hurts me, yes, but this can't happen for your sake, Isavella.”“For my sake?”“Yes! For your sake. Fine, you are the heir to the Nightingale pack. What will people think when you present a cursed mate to them? I am fine with it, but I'm not fine with havin

“It's been more than twenty four hours. Do you have any idea why exactly the guidances asked me to come here?” Sean thought loudly to Aaron and the wolf grumbled. “I don't know, Sean. They sent you here so whatever the reason might be, I'm sure you will find out soon enough.” Sean didn't like this at all. He didn't. Since he got here, all his uncle had actually done was feed him, show him a room then disappeared. They have not gotten a chance to have a conversation yet. He didn't like that he was just wasting time here while Isabella was out there somewhere…doing goddess knows what. He needs… He needs to get to her. He needs to do whatever it is possible to get to her. What was he thinking listening to those.. people? What on earth was he thinking when he allowed them to convince him? What if it was all a trick? “You need to calm down, Sean. I can't count how many times I have told you these over the days. Calm down and trust that everything will fall into place,”

“This all sounds…unbelievable. I mean I have heard these myths and stories but I never thought that they were actually true.” Jay said after long minutes of listening to Isabella narrating everything she has been up to for the past few days, “And I have so many questions. How did they know where to find you? And will we ever get to go home one day?”“Sure, we will definitely get to go back home Jay,” she said although a small teeny part of her really doubted that, “we will…I promise. As for how they got to know, that's something I have not figured out yet but I definitely will.”Jay gave her a small nod, "Okay. So what's next for you...for us?""Nothing much. I still do not know when this big doom break will happen but there's a tyrant out there causing havoc. So I need to get into my full potential and stop him before he can wake the dark queen. That's the gist of the whole thing.""I really can't believe this," Jay gave a small laugh, "I mean...still sounds like I have been caught i
“Are you going to keep on avoiding me Brenda?” “I don't think you want to know the answer to that question,” the woman snapped, not looking his way. Enzo sighed as he stared at her back, wondering…just wondering what he had done for the goddess to pair him up with such a stubborn brute. He followed her. No way would she just avoid him this time. They had to talk. It's been months, yet they keep circling around each other without addressing the issue and Enzo is tired of it. He has had it up to his neck. “What is your problem?” “Stop following me, Enzo.” She responded and her steps quickened but he didn't listen to her. “No I won't. No, Brenda hear me out for fuck's sake!” Thankfully she stopped but when she turned around to look at him, the look in her eyes would have made a lesser man run in the opposite direction. “You are being a child and you know it. We need to talk about this, we need to address this issue because -” “We do not have anything to talk about or address, E

“We…have been at this, for three days now! Is there a point to this at all or are you trying to make me discover some other hidden gem I might have in me?”Isaiah stopped running so suddenly that Isabella almost crashed into him, if she hadn't also stopped on time.“You know how peaceful it would be if you actually stop whining for a minute and just…do what's needed?”“Well, I'm sorry, sir for complaining. It's only the fate of the world at stake here while I'm doing runs everyday with you!” She spat, and swiped away sweat from her forehead with her hand before planting her hands on her hip.“I thought I was supposed to be learning how to control and use my newly discovered powers. It's been THREE DAYS!!, and I haven't even used it…damn it I don't even feel it anymore.”“Isabella…”“No wait! I'm not done. It's annoying. First you Kidnapped me while I was on my way back to my hometown for the first time in YEARS. You used my brother as leverage to get me to stay and somehow managed to
Sean would have choked on his saliva, if his throat was not too dry to form any.Give him his voice? That is not possible. He had been mute since birth…surely there is no way they could just give him his voice back.“There's nothing impossible for us to do, Werewolf!” The first man said his eyes blazing with fire, “not something as little as handing you a voice.”Sean swallowed but he still couldn't believe them. Who were they anyways?“We are the guardians of the universe, Sean. It is our job to protect and guard this universe … and that includes this earth.” The woman said softly and Sean confirmed there and then that she could actually read his mind.“There is so much at stake and we have to ensure that you aren't making the wrong decisions because of your emotions. This isn't the time you act solely based on your emotions. This is a time for us all to use our heart…not our head.”Sean nodded although deep down he didn't want to believe them - but the lady had been right. He knew w
