"What's going on?" Chris asked. His voice seemed to snap Isabelle out of her happy trance as she pried away from his embrace. She pushed him away slightly and turned around her cheeks flaming hot. She ran her hand to her neck awkwardly as she pursed her lips to stop herself from smiling. What in God's name had she just done? She closed her eyes and all she could think of was his musky scent. And the sparks... Chris looked down at his empty arm and at his mate who had her back turned to him. He smiled and approached her. "Isa?" He called. She blushed at the nickname as she turned around keeping a hard stoned face. "Matilda is awake. Can I go visit her?" She asked. The thought of her sister being awake since being in a coma for 18 years brought a smile to her lips. They would make up for the whole 18 years they had lost. She would take her out, they would have fun, so much fun, shop together, have a sleepover, sleep together, and make breakfast together, her sister would cut the
Isabelle woke up about 30 minutes later. She blinked with the memories of yesterday's incident rushing in. Her hands reflexively moved to her face to feel it. Thankfully, it didn't swell. She sighed and thought her head position was wrong and there was a weight on her head. She blinked and thought where was her hand just now? She tried to move her head and heard a groan from someone. A male's voice. Chris Voice. What happened? "Hey, wake up." She tapped him lightly waking him up. Chris groaned a little and moved his head craning his neck. "Right, sorry. Good Morning." He said. "Hn. Morning." Isabelle breathed out standing up. "I'll go shower or something." She said running up the stairs. Chris nodded missing her reddened face. He looked at the ice cubes that had melted into water. He sighed and carried it to the kitchen pouring the water away. He poured new water into the square-shaped part of the white stuff (This thing is in my refrigerator but I don't know the name. Either w
I blinked my eyes before groaning at an unfamiliar white ceiling. Immediately replaced by it was an ocean blue worried eyes staring back at my brown ones making me shift uncomfortably on the bed. "Isa? Are you awake?" Chris called. I nodded my head sitting up before I noticed his hand was gripping mine tightly. I moved my eyes from our hand to the room. It was white... everything. The walls, ceiling, curtain, and door were well except for the table beside me which was brown. "Where am I?" I asked Chris. "Hospital." He said simply. "What happened?" I asked rubbing my eyes with my free hand. "You fainted. Dolores called me, remember?" He answered. The memories came rushing at me and I sighed knowing the reason why I fainted. Damned period. "What time is it now?" I asked. There was no clock in here. It was like they didn't want the sick people to see the time to keep track of how long they'd been there. "It's still today, as in the day you fainted. The time is..." He said taking
Chris I retracted my fangs and claws while my eyes went to normal. I turned around to Isabelle who was staring at the man who had gone limp. He was dead. She looked at him without moving a muscle in her limb. I walked towards her and stretched my hand to touch her but then I realized my hands were still bloody and stained with that man's filthy blood. I retracted my hands which finally caught her attention. She looked up into my eyes while my eyes darted away from her to Elena who immediately bowed her head looking at the ground. "You can go home. Your punishment is coming tomorrow. I specifically told you not to let her come, didn't I?" I asked her. "I... I'm sorry, Alpha." She apologized. "I forced her to tell me." Isabelle finally said. I looked at her in disbelief as Elena immediately ran to her mate smiling at him. Antonio looked at her with a worried look before looking at Isabelle and me. "What do you mean you forced her?" She opened her mouth to talk but her eyes dar
Beware! It's a very long chapter!🙃 Elena and Antonio were sucking each other's faces off like crazy. Elena was sitting on the cabinet while Antonio was standing between her legs. One of Elena's hands was already on Antonio's buckle fiddling with it and the other in his hair while Antonio's hand had safely slipped under her shirt. I knew where this was leading if we didn't come but I don't want to think about it. Oh no! I just did! They were really engrossed in it they had no idea we were standing there. "Oh, My God!" I shrieked out suddenly slapping my hand to my eyes. "My innocent eyes," I whined. I heard Elena clear her throat and Antonio cough. I blushed like crazy dropping my hand from my eyes and looking elsewhere but at the two of them. "Fix your trousers and you, your shirt," Chris said with a slight smile in his voice. "Even your hair looks like a bird's nest." I chipped in before laughing. Chris joined in the laughter while everyone's faces turned red. God! What kind o
Feeling everyone's eyes on her made her look down at the blue design on her white sandals. "Hey." She heard beside her. She looked up at Chris who smiled at her as if saying 'You'll be fine.' He gave her hand a little squeeze. Gaining her courage, she raised her head and looked over the sea of people. She took a shaky deep breath and nodded her head. "Good Evening, Red Flower Pack!" Chris shouted into the night. Howls replied him making Isabelle shake a little. Every being here was a werewolf. "Standing right beside me is your Luna, my mate, my life partner, my strength, my everything." Claps erupted the night as Isabelle smiled at him in return. "Today isn't the Luna ceremony. Today is the day we join hands with our neighbors... The Black River." Chris said raising his cup of wine which he had received from Antonio to where Alpha Peter, Vivian, and their parents were standing- the members that had come to represent the pack. Peter raised his wine in return as a sign of ac
"We saw them." They heard a voice from behind. Everyone turned their heads to look at the person that talked. Standing there was a girl with bob hair and another with shoulder lengths. Dolores and Elena looked at each other. "Who are you?" Vivian asked with disgust in her voice. "Mind the way you speak to our pack members, Miss Vivian," Isabelle said looking back at her. Chris turned his head sharply to look at Isabelle who had a stoic expression as she looked at Vivian. Vivian rolled her eyes but she said nothing more. "Come... Tell everyone what you saw." Peter's Mom said. "Good Morning, Alpha. Luna. Alpha Peter, Beta Antonio, and Female Beta Elena." Maria started. Vivian was seething with anger... They didn't see her?! What is the meaning of this nonsense? She opened her mouth to talk but was silenced by her mother's sharp glare. She shrunk back and held the pillar she was leaning on. "Last night, my sister and I were hungry..." FLASHBACK "Hey Mary, aren't you hungry?"
"Hey!" Isabelle yelled smacking his stomach which made Chris look at her blushing face. "See, she's blushing. She's my girlfriend." Chris said pointing at her face while facing Matilda. "What... I..." Isabelle stuttered. "Well, congratulations to both of you!" Alex yelled out loud making Isabelle blink her eyes at him. "Thanks... man." "Okay, what's going on here?" Isabelle said. "Hey, Alex help me with my bag?" Matilda called. "We'd talk about this when we get home," Isabelle said. "You guys are living together?" Alex asked. "What?" Isabelle asked startled. "No... I mean... you just said..." Alex said. "I didn't say anything. Take the bag." Isabelle said instead. Matilda looked at her sister and then at Chris who had a domineering aura. Then she blurted out the first thing that came to her mind. "Isa, is he threatening you? Is that why he followed you? To ensure you don't run away? Tell me, what does he have on you?" Isabelle blinked at her sister and then lets out a n

Love y'all. See you! Stay alive and Healthy! :) ••• After some weeks, Isabelle was discharged from the hospital. Antonio finally told Chris who had attempted to kidnap his mate. After hearing the name, fury was all he felt. What did he ever do wrong to his father? Why was he so keen on bringing misery to him? So bent in hell on making sure he was never happy in his life? What exactly did he do wrong? And then he decided to get his answers then after that, he would kill him. It was enough. All the misery he had put him through was enough. Jacob told him it was because he was a male and also the first
Music Suggestion; Arcade by Duncan Laurence and Fletcher.😉 Three weeks ago. Chris's POV I glanced at the time smiling. Belle should still be at the photo studio. Imagine the look on her face when she sees me. We flagged down a cab and Antonio walked to the cab to check it out whilst the old man, the driver, loaded our luggage into the back of the boot. Since it was a surprise, we decided to take a cab instead of calling for someone in the pack to come with my car and drive us home. Violet? The bitch hadn't even realized we were out of her stupid pack. 'All clear.' Antonio said into the mind link and I nodded at him. I slipped into the back seat and he followed. The old man closed it after us and entered the driver's seat. "Where to?" He asked turning the key in the ignition. "Do you know Maple Leaf studio?" I asked. "Oh yes. The largest building on that street. Who doesn't? It's very famous for the rich people that come and go every day." The man said as he drove out of t
"Oh come on now. Who are you looking for?" I heard making me snap my head to the right. "Your friends? They knew what was best for them and ran away some minutes ago. Just come along." The man said and waved me off. "Shut up," I said and he frowned throwing me a slap across the face. I fell to the ground yet I still clutched the wrapped pictures in my hand. "Boss said he wanted her alive." Someone said in a gruff voice. I looked up at him feeling a metallic taste in my mouth. He looked down at me and I glared. "So? He never said she had to be complete." He replied pushing the first man away. He raised his head to kick me and I closed my eyes to embrace the impact. "STOP!" I heard suddenly and the kick never came. I heard shuffling and then people greeted saying "Boss." I peered one eye open and then the second one at the man crouching in front of me. I shifted a little to the back involuntarily. "Hi there. Don't worry, you'll be safe soon." He said rubbing my hair which I m
"Hi." I greeted smiling at the phone. "Hey. How are you? Bored?" He replied. "Missing you, actually," I said truthfully. "Hey, I know. I miss you too." He replied. "When do you think you'll be back?" I asked pushing the duvet with my hand. "I have no idea. This little monster here hasn't seen us since we arrived here. It's the fucking third day!" He replied and I frowned. "So why ask you to come if she won't act like you're her guests and see you guys?!" I asked and I almost snapped my phone in halves. "That woman sometimes acts like a bitch." He murmured. "Sometimes? She always acts like a bitch!" I heard Antonio's voice and I pursed my lips. "How are you holding up?" I asked. "I'm fine. Just can't wait to get the hell out of here and be with my mate and child. Goddess, I hate this place." Antonio replied and I heard him groan. Well if it was me as well, I would have definitely run away. "Belle? You listening?" He asked and I blinked at him. "Uhh- what did you say?" I as
Chris's POV I smiled at Isabelle and turned around walking into the car. I didn't want to leave and go on this nonsensical journey but I needed it for my pack. If that bitch proves to be stubborn, to hell with her and her help then. Cause I just can't pinpoint the reason why she would only send tickets for myself and my beta. But I was grateful in a way. Her pack is far too dangerous for Isabelle. I knew no one there... There was no one I could trust. And with that in mind, I had Lincoln and Kennedy be her guard for the meantime. I waved at her and Antonio drove off. I looked down at the container in my hand and looked up back. "Stop the car," I said and Antonio immediately stepped on the brake making the tires screech as it came to a halt. "Al-" I didn't wait for him to turn his head or call my name finish as I sprang out of the car running. I saw her turn her head and looked at me. I just stared at her in return. She cried and then jumped me and I hugged her back tightly. G
"Here, I found a picture of them," Matilda said once I moved to her side. "Woah... They look beautiful in this picture. It's perfect for the shoot." I exclaimed. "Then what are we waiting for? Come on come on." She said. I heaved a sigh and walked out of the room after Matilda. She was admiring the picture while my mind was filled with the voices and the seeing me. What in God's name was that? "Do you want to look around the kitchen?" Matilda asked turning around to look at me. "Huh?" "The kitchen. Are you okay? You seem pale." She said touching my forehead. "I'm fine. Let's just go take the picture." I said waving her off. "Alright. If you say so." She replied eyeing me. I gave her a weak smile and when she turned her head, I looked back at the room. Feeling someone's eyes on me. Boring holes into my back as I walked. I immediately walked faster with my heart beating faster. I slammed my nose into a chest as I cussed out. "For the love of mother fucking cheese and rice... O
Dropping the bouquet of white Lily in my hand unto Mother's grave, I saw the same thing already on Dad's own so I dropped mine off as well. Dad always said he didn't have a favorite flower but he liked Mum's Favorite which was White Lily. I stretched my hand and cleaned the dust off the surface of their headstone to reveal the epitaph and their names. HERE LIES MIRANDA SHEFFIELD SMITH, a beloved wife, mother, and daughter. HERE LIES VICTOR SMITH, a loving father, husband, and son. Mutual love, the crown of bliss. I had told them to carve the same epitaph on their headstone. I smiled at Mum's picture before turning to Dad's as well. "Hey, Mum." I greeted. "Hey, Dad." I was kneeling with Matilda holding my forearm beside me. Chris and Alex were standing behind us. "Hi... Your unfilial daughter is here. I know I've been a bad daughter and I'm sorry. I should have brought Matilda here the day she woke up, right? As I said earlier, I know I'm unfilial and I'm sorry." I paused a
"Why did you kiss me?" She asked once I broke away from the kiss. "Oh, you're just teasing me now," I replied crossing my arms. "Why would I do that?" She replied mirroring my action. "Now, there, right there is a tease," I replied pointing at her. She stuck her tongue out at me and giggled. I shook my head and pulled out the next bar stool sitting beside her with my hands under my tilted head. I stared at her and I saw her face turning red. She directed her gaze from the tabletop ever so lightly turning her eyes to look at me. I grinned and she immediately diverted her eyes. "Why are you staring at me?" She asked. "What? You look more beautiful, so I would like to savor this moment." I replied shrugging. "Oh, God. Can you please turn your head? I'm becoming a tomato." "Nope," I replied popping the p. "Chris!" She yelled turning her head to me. I turned her chair so her whole bo was facing me and then grinned. Her eyes met with mine and I lost myself in it once again. "Do
I slipped on my slippers and walked downstairs stopping only when I got to the front of the house. How can she say that? She was embarrassed? Of me? What's there to be embarrassed about? "What's got your pants in a twist?" I heard suddenly making me look at Roxy that leaned in to look at my eyes. "Move away from me," I said rolling my eyes. "Hey, calm down. I don't want your mate going all wolfy or witchy on me. Her scent is like all over you." She replied leaning back. I said nothing and only turned my head to look at another side. "So tell me, wolf- I mean, Christopher... What's got your pants in a twist?" She asked again. I turned my head back to her and was about to abuse her when I bit my tongue. Hold on, she's a girl. Even though she might be old, like really old... She would have experience. "Say, Roxy..." I started and I saw her eyes piqued with interest. "Always love poking your into people's business," I muttered to myself. "I heard that." She said pursing her lips.
