Of course, I don't sleep for shit during the night. Nothing new there. I just keep texting Theo, trying to get some fucking answers, or the rest of the guys, but they all keep ignoring me. The next day, they're still ignoring me. And the next one too. That just makes me feel more worried, what the hell are they hiding? This has now officially put me down a fucking spiral, that's why my dad has forbidden me to leave the house again. So I have nothing else to do but turn this shit over in my head a thousand times. I start thinking back, to the the last time I spoke to Theo when he came back from Italy. The way he talked about her. He was definitely pissed off about something.What if Isabella let out her true self around Theo and that threw him off somehow? What if he lost his mind and did something to her? That would explain everyoneโs silence, theyโre all trying to hide it. I'll turn this damn pack to dust if thatโs the case. My friends know me as a goofy guy and even though the
I stop thinking about that for a second before I go completely insane.This new situation is eye opening, though. Everything makes even more sense now. Theo probably found out he had been lied to, he found out Isabella cheated on him with me. Now he has a clear motive to hurt her.I growl as my mind floods with the possibilities of everything he couldโve done to her and I go straight to him, pushing him until I have him against the door with the loaded gun against his temple. "What did you do to Isabella?" I demand, trying my hardest to remember this is my good friend. That's why he's still here and not on his way to the cabin. I'll give him a chance to come clean before I have to torture the information out of him, "Where is she?""I don't kidnap people if that's what you're implying, you big idiot," he blurts out, almost offended by the implication, which confuses me. And to add more into it, the baby's cries are getting worse and worse as if she's trying to remind me of her existe
"What are you going to do about it?" Theo asks once weโve talked for a while and everything is out in the open. Now Iโm ready glad I held onto my sanity long enough not to kill him. I shouldโve known he wouldnโt hurt her. He might be high handed, but heโs cool. And I really like himโฆ especially now that he has decided to go for Nukea and leave my mate alone.Itโs about fucking time. I was hanging by the last straw, I couldnโt handle even the idea of them together, raising a kid as a family. That was eating me up inside. I feel better now, but honestlyโฆ I donโt like the idea of him raising MY pup either. This isnโt even about Isabella anymore. Even if for some reason I never find her, that kid is fucking mine. Not his."I let you have my mate for a while, but I won't let you have my daughter. She's coming with me," I state, looking directly at him waiting for him to fight me on this. "Be my guest," he immediately says, with a wave of his hand, "Being a single dad is the hardest shi
{ Isabella }Hitting rock bottom at 25 is not something I thought would happen to me. And yet, here I am. A resident of Rock Bottom City. Depressed. Alone. Poor. Humiliated. Defeated. Everything happened extremely fast. The news spread like wildfire because of that stupid nurse, who went out to tell her friends and they told their friends. In a matter of a day, the whole pack knew all about Luna Isabella cheating on Alpha Theodore and giving birth to a baby that is not his. Having to face my parents after the news broke out completely tore me apart. Having to see the disappointment and disgust in their eyes as they looked at me was one of the worst feelings I've ever had. Even worse than everything I felt during the pregnancy. They didn't ask if I was okay or even if the baby was okay, they just came into my hospital room when I finally gave them permission, a day later. And only to ask for explanations and insult me. My mother's words were harsh and painful, but my father's si
Even when I woke up later on, they kept me strapped. Some shrink came and talk to me and even though I refused to speak to her, she concluded I was โunstableโ and I had โpostpartum depressionโ so I couldnโt be left alone with that baby. I told them they could take her away from me if they wanted to, but they didnโt. I spent a couple of days tied to the bed for most of the time with a guard in the room to keep me away from the baby and the other nurses. I wondered if Liam would hear about all this drama from his employees. I wondered if he would even give a shit. He probably wouldn't. He hates me as much as everyone else. "Are my friends still out there?" I asked a nurse (not the one I beat up) a couple of days later when she came in to feed the baby."Uh... there's only one girl outside right now. A blonde girl. She comes every day," she replied and my bruised heart felt a little tug, "Do you want to let her in?""Yes," I said. About half an hour later, the door opened and Layla w
I bought a ticket to Cali, Colombia. Why? I donโt really know, I saw the destination and thought it sounded fun and tropical. Iโve always loved the beach. Several hours later, I was there, walking around downtown seeing nothing but complete strangers. Not only are they not my kind, they are not from my pack and they don't know me. And they don't even speak my language. For the first time in a long time, I felt safe walking down the street. I didnโt have to fake a smile for my people or greet everyone I came across. I didnโt have to put up a charade, I could just keep my bitch face on and avoid everyone.It felt good, but that nice feeling didnโt last long, because I realized that even if I was physically away, my mind was still in Greyhound. And my heart was still there. Liam was still there somewhere, probably still trying to date other girls to piss me off. My parents still hate me. They completely cut me off monetarily, they cancelled my cards. I donโt think Iโll ever see them
Two days. We've been looking for Isabella for two days with no results. I'm starting to lose hope, until Kit calls me out of the blue while we're all separated."I think I found her hotel, boss," Kit says, making me stop dead in my tracks. Someone crashes into my back a second later and curses me in Spanish before walking away. I immediately grab a cab to the hotel Kit found, my palms sweating with nerves. If she's not really there, I'm going to explode. I'm sick of looking and looking for her. I swear I'm going to kill her as soon as I find her."Isabella Mihdi, is she here?" I demand as soon as I approach reception. Kit and Caleb run up to me, "It's an emergency.""As I told your friend, she's here. But I can't give you any other information," she says, trying to look assertive. I snort a laugh and pull out the gun I got as soon as I arrived in this town because that gets people talking fast."Are you sure you can't tell me? I'd hate to have to shut this hotel down and search for h
{ Isabella }I start to come down from the trip very slowly and peacefully, accompanied by the air and the dust particles around me, telling me that I am still okay. Iโm not rotten and Iโm not useless, Iโm fully capable of turning things around. And someday, I will look back and be surprised of how strong I am.I smile when I realize I'm in a bed with Liam. Right now, it doesnโt surprise me. It makes the most sense in the world, the fact that heโs here where he belongs. The wind told me this is my second chance at making things better. I believe her. My wolf forgave me at some point in the session so she is back to being present in my mind. She feels good again. Not completely, because she still wants her pup back, but she trusts me to find my way back to her as well. Every time I think about my daughter and the hate I had stored in my heart for her, a deep sense of guilt grabs ahold of my throat, but itโs easy right now to be optimistic. I will find my way back to her somehow. I
{ Fidel }Finally feeling better after so much time of worrying and stressing out about this woman, once I allow my body to relax, I end up passing out next to her. Itโs like my body released all the endorphins at once and now Iโm drained. I donโt know how long I sleep next to Daisyโs lovely naked body, but when I wake up, sheโs playing with my hair and doing something on her phone with her free hand. As if this is our normal.โYou awake?โ She whispers.โYeah, sorry. How long have I been out?โโJust over twenty minutes,โ she answers, letting her phone down to look at me with a smile, โKit is texting me, asking if Iโm still grounded. The kids are hungry.โโTell them to go out or something. I want to stay here longer,โ I admit, hugging her waist until sheโs turning on her side to face me. I let my hand caress the length of her body, from her delicate shoulder to her plump hips. Sheโs pure perfection. The definition of a true woman, โI want to enjoy you some more.โโThat sounds good,โ
"That's the only way you'll stay quiet, apparently," he growls, then he looks down at my body again, without anything covering me at all. I know I don't have the most perfect body out there, but I'm also not hideously ugly. And by the way he's starting to fill the room with his arousal, I think he likes what he's looking at, "I've been denying myself this since the moment I first met you, Daisy. But I finally have you right here... and you're just as delicious as I thought."I swallow and bite down on my own panties when his hands start roaming around my body. They feel possessive and authoritative.He grabs my breasts and cups them, pinching both of my nipples at the same time. I moan and trash around, but he pins me down with just a look before moving down until he's in between my legs again.Iโm going to pass out. Iโve never been this aroused. "If I ever found out you're fucking someone else, I'll chop his head off right in front of your eyes. I won't let you convince me to let hi
{ Daisy }I told him. I just let it out. I knew he wouldn't stop torturing me one way or another until he got what he wanted, so I just gave it to him. And the fucker just looks at me with a stunned face for a few seconds, not saying anything back.My worst fear is coming true the more he stays silent. He's going to reject me. He doesn't want me. He won't give me what he promised. He'll fire me and push me away. I start crying again just thinking about it, because I don't want any of that to happen. I've been so angry today because he forced me to stay here, but I know I would hate it even more if he forced me to go away and never come back. "Is that all?" he asks in a cold voice, my crying stops. I narrow my eyes at him, "You could've said that sooner, Daisy.""Yeah? So you could reject me sooner?" I snarl, getting angry now, especially when he smiles like the evil person he is, "Get off me!""No," he simply says, "You're not getting rid of me now. Ever. I hope you're happy and
"No, I can't say," she mumbles and tries to get up, but I move faster than her and I grab her arm to keep her in place, "Fidel, stop. It has nothing to do with you.""So what, you want another man?" I ask, pulling her harder until she falls on top of me. Daisy tries to get up, but I don't let her. I flip us until I'm on top of her, "Is that it? You know I'll find him, too.""No, Fidel," she says, trying to push me away, "Stop. Please, get away from me.""Not until you tell me what you're hiding from me," I demand, slipping a leg in between hers. I can hear how fast her heart starts beating and I can smell her scent getting thick with arousal. I think she liked being manhandled like that, "I'm not fucking asking, Daisy, I'm ordering you to tell me.""Well, now I want to tell you even less," she snaps, closing her eyes and moving her head to the side, "I'm disappearing inside my mind again.""No. Stop that, stop doing that," I growl and grab her face to force her to look back at me, "Co
"B-b-but," she lets out, her pale face blushed now, "But that would make this very unprofessional.""You really think I care about being professional? I almost kill your boyfriend and I grounded you, Daisy, I'm not a professional boss," I say, laughing at myself, "Or are you disgusted at the thought of touching me?""What?!" she almost yells. I have to bite on the inside of my cheek to stop my smile as she gives me a very incredulous look. She's so fucking gorgeous and I want her so fucking bad, "Of course I'm not disgusted! Why would I be? You're not that evil, everyone just says that because they don't really know you. Don't believe their words, Fidel, you're not disgusting."This time I can't stop myself from laughing out loud, feeling days and days worth of tension leave my shoulders. She's back. "Thanks for letting me know everyone calls me evil and disgusting behind my back, Daisy. But I meant you'd be disgusted because I'm so damn old," I let her know. She looks shocked again
Isabella keeps me company while I eat. She tries and tries to get me to admit I want Fidel. I might like her, but I know sheโll definitely tell everyone everything I say, so I say almost nothing.When she leaves, I decide to take a shower and put on some of the old clothes I have in this room. Theyโre old jeans and a shirt that are now around two sizes too small and it just reminds me of how imperfect I am.Iโve let myself go in this house. I got too comfortable, I denied myself of everything too, just like Fidel. I denied myself of a man, of more friends, of a job that didnโt involve talking to the same four people every single day.Iโm so sick and tired of this life, something has to change. And now that I have the idea of the sperm donor in my head, I really think I could make it happen. Even if I canโt go out, thereโs a lot of viable men in this house: Kit, Calebโฆ even Roger. He might be old, but his swimmers could be alive, right? Other than them, Fidel has a lot more guys that
{ Daisy }I canโt believe this is really happening, but he put the idea in my head and now I really, really want it.He gave me a solution to my issue. I would be an idiot if I donโt try to go for it. But Fidel drops his mouth open in shock as he looks at me, as if he canโt believe Iโm being like this. And yeah, even I canโt believe Iโm speaking to my boss this way, but really, this isnโt a normal work environment anymore. Not since he forced me back here.I have so much money saved that I could afford to retire, but I donโt think he would even let me. And I really donโt think he would hurt me or kill me, so if I have nothing to lose, I can be a little bitch if I want.โIโm so fucking mad at you,โ he lets me know, pointing at my face before walking away and out of the kitchen, โI donโt want to eat dinner here anymore. Iโll go out again.โโFine!โ I let out, โHave fun!โโI will,โ he responds, โAnd youโll stay here tonight. Youโre grounded until you apologize for saying that shit. Kit,
Before I leave my car, I down the last bit of the cognac bottle and get out. Instead of heading to the front door, though, I walk to the backyard and get in through the kitchen door. My Daisy is already here, cooking something delicious. She was humming a song and moving her plump hips from side to side before looking at me and giving me yet another annoyed eye roll.โForgive me,โ I demand, taking a few steps closer to her, โForgive me now.โโOf course, I forgive you,โ she says with a bored voice. I growl and walk closer to grab her. Daisy gasps, finally looking at me with something other than distaste in her eyes. Sheโs shocked by my attack, โWhat is this about?โโI want you to be normal Daisy again,โ I demand, realizing Iโm drunker than I thought because then I hug her waist, allowing myself to touch her more than ever before. My hands dare to roam down her ass too, โPlease, Daisy, I donโt like you being like this. I know youโre mad, but I wonโt let you go no matter what, so Iโm b
{ Fidel }"Dad," Liam growls, entering the bathroom without knocking while I'm taking a shower to wash the blood off my body, "Who the hell was that?!โAmazing. Iโve been found. "What do you mean?" I ask, "And why are you here, Liam? We're not that close, show me some damn respect.""Shut up, old man," he says and opens the sliding door of the shower to give me a disapproving look, "Who the hell was that guy in the cabin and why did you kill him?""Do you think I owe you an explanation, pup?" I scoff and turn off the water, "You're wrong. I do what I want and thereโs no one alive who can stop me.Not even you.โ"You've been in the cabin every day this week. Nobody knows anything about this, there is nothing bad going on at work right now, so... who was that guy in the cabin and why did you kill him?" He asks, talking very slowly as if Iโm an idiot or something. "Because I felt like it, Liam. Is that what you want to hear?" I admit, pushing him aside to get out of the shower and cove
