As they stepped into the portal, Isabella felt an enigmatic pull. It was an invisible force which urged her to continue on their journey of self-discovery. She desperately clung to Alexander for answers, since everything she was feeling was new for her. "Alexander, are you feeling the same way that I am?" she asked hopeful that she was not alone. Alexander gently grabbed her hand, trying to calm her beating heart. He desperately wanted to find a way to ease her anxiety. "Can you describe it to me? I want to know what you're feeling," Alexander pleaded. Every time her heart beat rapidly, his did too. The mate bond was calling them to choose each other once again. Despite the unimaginable ways he had hurt her, Isabella's heart clenched whenever they were near. Knowing he would always be there for her, she explained what she was feeling as they traveled through the portal. "It feels as though everything in my body is beginning to break, urging the magic to flow freely
"My dear, that is you," she whispered in Ana's ear while pointing at the photo that was in Ana's hand. Ana felt a chill run down her spine as her mother's words sank in. Her hand started shaking and becoming clammy. I don't believe it. That can't be me. She started thinking about the happy memories that she had of her adoptive mother. I can't believe my whole life was a lie! The person I believed to be my mom is not! She thought to herself, her eyebrows creasing in disbelief. Her eyes flitted toward her mother's face. Ana's mother had a bright smile, treating this day as a happy memory, one she would never forget. *I am happy that she is finally home. It was a long-awaited journey, one that we never expected, especially after the fire.* Scrunching her eyebrows, Ana observed the picture. She wanted to see if what her mother was saying was true. Once she saw the baby in the picture, her jaw dropped in shock. As she continued to observe the photo, Ana's heart skipped a bea
Ana leaned closer as the last words left her mother's mouth. Her hands found the edge of the leather couch, and she grabbed onto it. She desperately tried to keep herself grounded, while listening to what her mother was saying. Ana began to pensively think about how and why now her mother was trying to be a part of her life. 'Why did my biological mother have to appear after so many years? Was it pre-ordained by the moon goddess? Or was there something else at play?' Ana wondered as she tried to understand what the meaning of her new life meant for her. "Ana, are you listening to me?" Her mother questioned before she continued with the story. Absentmindedly, Ana nodded, "Yeah, I am." She replied with a smile on her face. Right before her mother started talking again, Ana began thinking about her life, and how it would change. 'Will my mother's revelation guide me in how I view myself? And is it going to fill the void in my heart?' She wondered as her mother continued. "
After her mother opened the bedroom door, Ana's eyes widened at the incredible sight that was laid out before them.It was large with an open bay window, and a blush pink bed was to her right. Everything was perfectly beautiful. And that was something she desperately needed to have.The bedroom was laden with so many trinkets, and her eyes scanned every single one. "Wow! Look at this place! Everything here is exquisite," she declared as her eyes bore into something in the room. Ana started inching closer wanting to find out what it was that she was observing. Her hands were shaking uncontrollably, but with determination, she would not allow it to get in the way. While Ana was enjoying the view, her mind began running a thousand miles a minute. This life was new for her, especially with everything that she had gone through. Yet, finally, she could have the life that she dreamed of. But is this just a dream, or will she wake up to find that this is real?'This place is beautiful. I n
The bedroom she always found comfort in when she would feel upset, was now her prison. At one point in time, she was allowed to leave the house. But since her parents told her she must marry the Alpha King, Isabella locked herself in her room. She did not want to leave. Isabella always wanted wait to find her mate. But due to her parents intervening, that was not going to be happening on her terms. Isabella sat on her bed with her legs crossed, and a sad expression on her face. Her mind raced with so many thoughts. Her younger sister Alisa entered her room quietly. Alisa did not want to disturb her sister, so she stood their with a somber expression. Seeing her sister so sad, made her heart hurt. My poor sister, what did our parents do to you? She whispered under her breath. Alisa could not deal with her sister's down turned eyes, so she walked closer to her. "Isabella, I know that you are feeling so many emotions. Just tell me why you are feeling this way. I care about you so
Adrian's gaze held a hint of mystery as if he sensed the conflict between my duty and desire. As we stood there, the silence between us was deafening, but it felt like we had known each other forever. "Are you alright, Luna-to-be?" Adrian asked, his voice carrying a sense of concern. I realized that I had been lost in my thoughts the entire time. "I'm fine, thank you," I replied, still feeling a bit flustered. Adrian took a step closer, and I could feel his warmth radiating off of him. "You seem troubled. Is there anything I can do to help?" I hesitated for a moment, not wanting to burden him with my problems. But something about his presence made me want to open up to him. "It's just that my parents want me to marry you, and..." I trailed off, not sure if I should say more. Adrian's expression softened, and he reached out to take my hand. "I understand that this must be difficult for you. But I promise to make this as painless as possible. And who knows, maybe we'll even fall in
Adrian looks at me with concern in his eyes. "What do you mean, Samantha? Are you having doubts about us?" I take a deep breath and look into his eyes. "It's not about us, Adrian. It's about the situation we are in. Our marriage is still arranged, and there are expectations from our packs. I just worry that we're moving too fast, and we might not be able to fulfill those expectations." Adrian's expression softens as he takes my hand and gives it a reassuring squeeze. "I understand your concerns, Samantha. But I want you to know that I am fully committed to making this work. We will find a way to balance our duty to our packs with our love for each other." I feel a sense of relief wash over me as I look at Adrian. He is right. We can make this work if we work together and stay committed to each other. As the days go by, Adrian and I continue to spend time together. We go on long walks, share meals, and talk about everything under the sun. Our love for each other grows stronger with
