Forbidden Kiss

last update Last Updated: 2024-12-13 22:30:39

As Liam laughed, clearly impressed by her rejection, Isla felt a strange mix of emotions swirling within her.

Alpha Liam Lockwood was just to lucky-

He lived an easy life, blessed with good looks, power, and influence - so he had zero rejections from the opposite gender. But for Isla, the reality was starkly different. She had faced rejection from none other than her destined beta mate, the one who was supposed to cherish her.

If only Liam knew her past—the girl she had been before stepping into the modeling industry. The awkward teenager who had struggled with her self-image, who had been overlooked and dismissed and lost her wolf in a stupid battle.

From the lowest low, she had fought tooth and nail to transform herself, to become someone worthy of attention, by enhancing her physical appearance - yet here she was, still grappling with feelings of inadequacy.

Shaking off the thoughts, Isla returned to Miranda and Taylor, who were animatedly discussing the latest trends in the ind

    As their lips parted, Isla felt dizzy, her head spinning from the intensity of the kiss. She pressed her forehead against Liam's, the warmth of his skin a comforting balm against her racing thoughts. She was grateful for her tall 6 '0 frame - as it helped her to easily rest her forehead against the 6' 3 feet tall guy like Liam Lockwood, without having to stand on her tiptoes or strain her neck much. "Thank you," she breathed against his lips, her voice barely audible. "Thank you for everything you have done for me, Mr. Lockwood. But please, don't do any other favors for me."Liam's eyes, those striking blue orbs that had captivated her from the start, looked at her with hurt and disbelief. Isla felt a pang of guilt, but she knew she had to set boundaries - before she got in much greater trouble. She swallowed hard, trying to compose herself. "Goodnight," she said, her voice firm but barely above a whisper.With that, she pulled back and turned to her car, leaving Liam standing alone

    Isla stirred awake, the events of the previous night flooding back to her. The kiss with Liam, the connection they shared, and the weight of her conversation with Maria weighed heavily on her mind. Guilt gnawed at her as she recalled how she had shut her friend out, dismissing her concerns and advice. Maria had only wanted to help, and yet Isla had pushed her away.With a sigh, she swung her legs over the side of the bed and padded quietly to the living room. As she stepped into the space, her heart sank at the sight before her. Maria was sprawled on the couch, a blanket tangled around her legs, and empty pizza boxes littered the floor. Three boxes? Isla’s brow furrowed as she realized they were all her friend’s favorite toppings—pepperoni, extra cheese, and mushrooms. Only a werewolf could eat that much and not gain a pound, and stay fit. Feeling a wave of guilt wash over her, Isla tiptoed into the kitchen. She needed to do something nice for Maria, a gesture to show her appreciatio

    Isla's heart raced as she clung to Liam's wolf body, her fingers tangling in his soft strawberry-blonde fur. The warmth of his muscular form pressed against her, a stark contrast to the cold fear that had gripped her moments before. "Maria," she whispered urgently, her voice trembling with desperation.Liam's powerful muscles tensed beneath her. With a sudden burst of speed, he sprang forward, racing towards the roller coaster tracks where Maria was still locked in a violent battle with the two rogue wolves. Isla's body moved with him, her chest pressed against his back, her breath catching in her throat.It had been years since she'd ridden a werewolf, and the sensation overwhelmed her senses.

Each powerful stride sent a shiver down her spine, a complicated mix of fear, excitement, and something deeper she couldn't quite name.As they approached the tracks, Isla's memories of bei

    The fair continued around them, a stark contrast to the supernatural battle that had just unfolded. Sweet scents of popcorn and cotton candy wafted through the air, mixing with the metallic undertone of recent violence. Isla stood frozen on the tracks, her mind struggling to process everything that had happened.She turned to Liam, her green eyes narrowing with suspicion. "Were you following me?" The question hung in the air, heavy with accusation.Liam's response was unexpected. "I expected something in return for saving your life," he said matter-of-factly. There was no hint of apology, just a raw, unapologetic statement that made Isla's breath catch."Saving me?" Isla felt a surge of frustration. "I wouldn't have been in trouble if we hadn't kissed. Your scent was on me, and that's why the rogues tracked me down."A ghost of a smile crossed Liam's lips. "You kissed me first," he corrected her, his blue eyes holding a challenging glint. "And I kissed you back.”Isla felt her cheeks f

    Isla blinked awake, her surroundings slowly coming into focus. Her eyes fluttered open to find herself in a room that belonged in a luxury real estate magazine – crystal chandeliers, silk curtains, and furnishings that probably cost more than her annual salary. The walls were painted in soothing shades of cream and gold, and a large window overlooked a sprawling view of the city skyline. She sat up, her heart racing as she took in the luxurious surroundings.“Where am I?” she croaked, her voice hoarse.As her eyes adjusted, she spotted Miranda and Taylor sitting nearby, their expressions a mix of concern and relief. Behind them stood a muscular man she recognized from the fair – the one who'd helped fight off the rogues."Miranda," Isla's voice came out raspy. She swallowed hard, forcing down her rising panic. "Why the hell did you bring me here?"Miranda held up her hands in a placating gesture. "Isla, please calm down. There's something you need to know."Taylor guided her to sit o

    All thoughts of escape vanished from Isla's mind as she stood before Liam, caught in the magnetic pull of his presence. Her eyes traced his features like an artist studying a masterpiece – the strong jawline that could cut glass, high cheekbones that models would envy, and those sensual lips that had once claimed hers in a kiss she couldn't forget.But it was his eyes that held her captive – striking blue orbs framed by thick brows, carrying a predatory glare that made her pulse race. Isla knew Liam Lockwood was every bit the predator his appearance suggested. She'd learned the hard way that powerful Alphas used their charm like a weapon, drawing in their prey with irresistible allure. Yet here she stood, frozen before him like a moth drawn to a flame, knowing the fire might burn her - but unable to look away."Are you alright?" His deep voice broke through her trance, a low rumble that sent shivers down her spine.Isla blinked, forcing herself back to reality. "Please, let me go," sh

    Isla stirred awake, the soft sheets enveloping her like a cloud. For a moment, she lay still, blinking against the sunlight streaming through the large windows. The room was bathed in a warm glow, and the luxurious decor around her felt surreal. She rubbed her eyes, half-expecting to wake up in her small apartment, the familiar sounds of the city filtering through the thin walls. But as she took in the opulence surrounding her, a sense of disbelief washed over her.Was this real? Or was she still dreaming?The last time she had been in a room close to being lavish was when her parents had taken her and her sister to a luxury hotel for a weekend getaway when she was twelve. That trip had been sponsored by her father’s company, a reward for his hard work. She remembered the way the chandeliers sparkled, the plush carpets that felt like walking on clouds, and the way her mother had beamed with pride as they explored the hotel’s amenities. But that was a lifetime ago, a fleeting moment of

The adrenaline coursed through her veins, and she felt a fierce determination to protect her pack. She had never imagined herself in a situation like this, but the instinct to fight for those she loved surged within her.“Get away from him!” she shouted, her voice ringing with urgency as she aimed the gun at the nearest rogue. The wolf snarled, its eyes glinting with malice as it lunged toward her. Isla squeezed the trigger, the sharp crack of the gun echoing in the air. The bullet struck the rogue, causing it to yelp in pain, but it was only momentarily distracted.Just as she thought she might have a chance, another rogue came barreling toward her from the side. Isla barely had time to react before the wolf slammed into her, knocking her off her feet. She fell hard to the ground, the breath knocked out of her lungs.

    The days that followed Liam’s escape were filled with a sense of relief and anticipation for Isla. She felt lighter, buoyed by the knowledge that he was out there, fighting for their future. The pack had rallied around her, and she continued to navigate her duties as Luna with growing confidence. However, the tranquility was abruptly shattered one fateful afternoon.Isla was in her study, reviewing some pack documents, when Miranda burst through the door, her face pale and eyes wide with urgency. “Isla! We have a situation,” she said, breathless.“What’s wrong?” Isla asked, her heart racing as she set the papers aside.“Some rogues have broken into the mansion. Andy, Ken, and Taylor are handling it, but it’s getting intense. You need to stay safe in your room,” Miranda urged, her voice laced with concern.Isla’s stomach dropped at the news. “Rogues? Here? What do you mean?” she asked, panic rising within her. The thought of intruders in her home sent a chill down her spine.“There’s n

    As the hall filled with anticipation, Isla stood at the podium, her heart racing with a mix of excitement and nerves. The atmosphere was charged with energy, and she could feel the weight of the moment pressing down on her. The priest, an elder of the pack, stood beside her, holding the Moon Goddess’s holy book, its pages worn and filled with wisdom passed down through generations. The flickering candlelight cast soft shadows on the walls, creating an almost ethereal ambiance that heightened the significance of the occasion.“Today, we gather to witness the oath of our new Luna,” the priest announced, his voice resonating through the hall. “Isla, daughter of the Lockwood legacy, will take her place as the leader of our pack, standing alongside her mate, Liam.”Isla took a deep breath, her heart swelling with pride and determination. This was the moment she had been preparing for, yet it felt surreal. The weight of her responsibilities loomed large, but she was ready to embrace them. T

    Isla felt a surge of frustration mixed with fear. She had been carrying the burden of Liam’s secret alone, and the thought of sharing it made her stomach churn. But as she looked into their earnest faces, she realized that they were right. They deserved the truth, but revealing it was against the promise she made for her father-in-law.“Isla, we know you’re hiding something,” Miranda said again, her voice steady but laced with concern. “You’ve been acting strange ever since Liam was taken. We need to know what’s going on.”Taylor crossed her arms, her brow furrowed. “You can’t keep this to yourself. We’re your friends, and we want to help you. But we can’t do that if you won’t let us in.”“I can’t,” she finally said, her voice barely above a whisper. “You don’t understand what’s at stake.”Miranda stepped closer, her expression softening. “Then help us understand. We’re worried about you, Isla. You’re not just Liam’s mate; you’re the Luna of the Lockwood pack. You have to be strong fo

    The next few days were a blur for Isla. Each morning, she woke up in the grand Lockwood mansion, the sunlight streaming through the tall windows, illuminating the opulence that surrounded her. But the beauty of her surroundings felt hollow without Liam by her side. The weight of his absence pressed heavily on her heart, and every moment was a reminder of the uncertainty that loomed over them.With Liam captured, Isla had taken on the mantle of responsibility for the mansion and the pack. Miranda and her mate, Andy, stepped in to manage the pack duties, but Isla felt the burden of leadership resting squarely on her shoulders. She knew that soon she would be introduced as the Luna of the pack, a title that felt both empowering and terrifying. Despite not having a wolf of her own, she was expected to lead, to inspire, and to unite the pack in Liam’s absence.As the days passed, Isla found herself retreating to her room more often, seeking solace in the quiet. She would sit at the ornate

    Isla sat in the plush leather seat of Maximilian’s private plane, the hum of the engines a constant reminder of the distance they were putting between themselves and the chaos that had unfolded. The cabin was luxurious, but the opulence did little to ease the turmoil in her heart. She gazed out the window, watching the clouds drift by, her mind racing with thoughts of Liam and the uncertainty of their future.Maximilian sat across from her, his expression serious as he reviewed documents on a tablet. The weight of leadership hung heavily on his shoulders, and Isla could sense the tension radiating from him. After a moment, he looked up, meeting her gaze with a steady intensity.“Isla,” he began, his voice calm yet firm, “we’re almost back in New York. You need to prepare yourself for what’s ahead.”Isla turned to him, her heart sinking. “I really don’t think I can do this,” she admitted, her voice trembling slightly. “Without Liam, I feel lost.

    Isla’s hands trembled as she reached for her phone, her heart racing with urgency. She scrolled through her contacts until she found the name that felt both familiar and distant—Maximilian Lockwood. Taking a deep breath, she pressed the call button, her mind racing with thoughts of Liam and the danger he was in.The phone rang, each tone echoing her anxiety. When the call connected, she could hear the calm, authoritative voice of Liam’s father on the other end. “Maximilian Lockwood.”“Mr. Lockwood,” Isla said, her voice shaking as she struggled to keep her composure. “It’s Isla. I… I need your help. Liam has been captured.”There was a brief silence on the other end, and Isla could almost hear the gears turning in Maximilian’s mind. “What do you mean, captured?” he asked, his tone shifting to one of concern.Isla swallowed hard, her heart pounding in her chest. “A group of mutts attacked us.

    Isla’s heart raced as she felt the presence of more than just the intruder. The door creaked open, and a group of pale creatures stepped into the room, their movements fluid and eerily graceful.They were unlike any beings Isla had ever encountered. Their skin was a ghostly white, almost luminescent in the dim light, and their features were sharp and angular, giving them an otherworldly beauty that was both captivating and terrifying. Long, slender limbs ended in delicate fingers, and their eyes glowed with an unnatural light—somewhere between the deep crimson of a vampire’s thirst and the piercing gold of a wolf’s gaze.Among them stood their leader, a striking figure with long, flowing blonde hair that cascaded down his back like a waterfall of silk. He exuded an aura of authority, his presence commanding the attention of everyone in the room. His eyes, a chilling shade of silver, locked onto Liam with an intensity that sent a shiver down Isla’s spine.Isla’s breath caught in her th

    The moon hung high in the sky, casting a silvery glow over the icy cold waters of Nysoria. The gentle sound of waves lapping against the shore created a soothing melody that filled the air, mingling with the soft rustle of palm leaves swaying in the night breeze. Inside the luxurious four-poster bed suite, Isla lay nestled against Liam, the warmth of his body enveloping her like a protective cocoon.After a long day filled with exploration and playful intimacy, Isla felt utterly exhausted. The events of the evening had left her both exhilarated and spent, her body pleasantly weary from the connection they had shared. She had never imagined that she could feel so alive, so in tune with another person, and the memories of their time together danced in her mind like fireflies in the night.As she shifted slightly, the soft sheets caressed her skin, and she sighed contentedly.
