Isla’s POV I really did not want to leave Max alone he had no idea how happy he made me feel. Without him, I felt sick and hated to be a part. I guess that’s part of the mate bond. Mora was so mad with Daniel, and I couldn’t believe that she had a baby with Miller’s best friend. She was certainly a different kind of species. How messed up did you have to be to treat someone like that she seems to like to screw everyone over to get what she wanted and clearly got bored easily. I felt so sorry for this baby of hers. This poor hopeless defenceless child was going to grow up without a father and a crazy ass mother. Could she really put a Baby first over her own selfish greed and needs? It sucked to be stuck in this car with her, but it wasn’t like I had much of a choice since my sister was also here and I didn’t fancy walking. I told myself it wouldn’t be for long. “I know you hate me for everything, but I can’t change the past. I’m not a bad person. Everyone makes mistakes.
Miller’s POV “What are you talking about? What is going on?” I growled as Max shoved a glass of something in my face. It burnt like hell and caused me to fall helplessly to the ground. The next thing that I knew, I was being forced into a chair and bound by a heavy rope. My body was weak and shaky. What was happening to me? I looked across to Daniel for an answer, but he ignored any eye contact with me and instead held a smug look. I realised that he had tricked me. How could he do that to me? Why would he want to do that to me? It was not my fault that Mora had lied to the pair of us. Should we not be working together instead of against each other? As for Max, he was mad and wanted revenge for me, planning to kick him out of the picture. If Daniel had not opened his mouth, then none of this would have happened, and I would be in top form. Max would not have stood a chance if he had not been given the heads-up. I growled at Daniel, which only caused him to snap
Isla’s POV Cora was not moving. Her eyes closed, it just looked like she was asleep. My heart felt like it stopped. My knees felt weak and wobbly like jelly on a plate. “Is she dead?” Mora gasped bringing me back out of my own head. She suddenly clasped a hand over her mouth. I snapped my eyes back to Cora, willing her to wake up. She’s going to be okay she had to be. My sister couldn’t die. I pray to the moon goddess that she will be alright, and then I feel Mora place her hand on my shoulder, trying to comfort me, that’s when the tears that I’ve been trying to hold back, started to fall. But I did not care about that all I could think about was my poor sister and that this was all my fault. I should never have come here with them. Mora, well she should’ve left on her own. Why did Max make me get in the car? All of this could’ve been avoided and now I was going to spend the rest of my life regretting this moment. All this stupid arguing
Miller’s POV I must’ve been out cold for quite a while because when I finally came back round, it was extremely quiet. I could not hear a sound. Not sure where I was. It was dark. And it smelt ridiculously awful. Max must have really put a number on me and now he’s probably far away somewhere with Isla. I suppose I should be grateful since he had not killed me. Well, not yet anyway. He might be somewhere around ready to pounce, attack. Whatever he had planned to finish the job. Either way, I knew that I was not about to get away with this grudge he had against me. Not that I could blame him, I mean he was only trying to protect his mate from being stolen. A huge thud sounded outside causing me to feel hopeful I was going to be spared and freed from this hell hole. “Let me out of here!” I started to shout out. Whoever was out there would hear me I could not move since I was shackled to the wall by chains. My body was weak, exhausted, and fed up.
Isla’s POV She doesn’t remember me. What happened to her? “Cora it’s me your sister don’t you remember?” I gasped holding her shoulders and looking into her eyes. There was nothing. She had no recognition of me. My own sister. Eric placed a hand on my shoulder and smiled sympathetically. “How can she not know who I am, but she recognised you as her mate? That doesn’t make any sense to me.” I complained as their pack doctor approached me with a glum look on his face. He scratched the top of his greying hair and let out a heavy sigh. “Miss Cora has had a nasty hit to the head and make her lose her memory. Unfortunately, we don’t know if it will come back or if it does how soon. It would seem the accident has caused her wolf to retreat.” His words rang in my head, and I wanted to burst into tears, but I couldn’t. Nothing came out. I was in far too much shock. If me and Mora had not been arguing, then perhaps none of this would have happened. “I need to see Max.
Miller’s POV I woke up to find myself in the back of the truck, my arms tied together with a rag in my mouth to prevent me from talking or making any sound. I felt sick and dizzy, and my mind was blank with whatever had happened to me. I remembered Ed talking to me, then nothing. I could hear voices outside, and I instantly knew who it was. Max and Ed. I listened carefully to their conversation, trying to work out whatever they were up to. It was like a riddle. I had no clue. “He needs to stay the hell out of it.” I heard Max say to Ed, who sighed and grunted in response. “You owe me big time, Ed and I want that girl for myself. If you want your dirty little secret to be kept and not exposed, I suggest you convince your daughter to take it.” Max was starting to growl. “Remember who you are talking to; she is already yours. It's down to you to mark and mate with her to finish that mate bond, but I assure you she will take Pembroke.” Ed sa
Isla’s POV “Max? What is wrong with you?” I gasped at him taking a step back, unable to hide the hurt that was eating away at me. It was a horrible feeling, one that he had never made me experience before. I saw his eyes return to normal and his face softened as he smiled and reached out for me. “I’m sorry Isla. I am just exhausted and should not have taken it out on you. Let’s go up to the pack house and we can talk. I have missed you.” He said and I just refused to allow him to touch me even though every inch of my body was screaming out to let him. I was annoyed that he had spoken to me in that way. Like I was nothing. It reminded me to much of how Miller used to talk to me when I found out he was my mate. “I’m going to check on Mora and the baby and see if there’s any news on Cora.” Daniel interrupted us before heading back up in the direction of the pack house. “So how do you know Harry?” I repeated because I wanted to know, and it felt as if he were hiding
Miller’s POV “Isla, believe me.” I called out to her desperately as Ed forcefully pulled me away from her direction. Max looked extremely smug as Isla buried herself into him, looking up with those huge saucer eyes of hers. She was so beautiful, and she did not deserve to be treated so badly. Max did not care about Isla like she believed him to. He was a liar. She needed to see through his bullshit. I knew that I was no better in her eyes. She hated me for everything that I had done to her in the past and of course I knew that made him like perfect to her. She needed to believe me now. They were not to be trusted. Max was clearly angry that I was onto him. He wanted me dead and at least if I was to die, I had managed to warn Isla. The rest was up to her. But the fact that this beautiful creature was walking towards us made me freeze. She was exactly like Isla, but an older version. “Get him out here.” I heard Ed scream as he ran towards me. The two w
