* Chelsey *I was cleaning the library when I felt that Mister Bannister was still inside the house and had not left since the early morning. Although I haven't seen him face-to-face since starting to work back on the upper floors of the alpha house, I find it more comforting than before. Maybe it was too much to think that someone like him would give a chance to a silly she-wolf like me who only works as a servant. I continued with my task before going to his bedroom and decided to put an order in place.The big bed was not even wrinkled that much on the right side, which made me wonder if the man slept or just sat on his bed. After making sure that the sheets are in perfect form I pick up the damp towel on the floor. Thinking about him naked with only this towel on is making my cheeks red. My next stop is the bathroom which is filled with the smell of his musky cologne and aftershave. The soap he uses is also very pleasing to the nose, one that reminds me of morning dew after a rain
* Richard *I was surprised to realize that I'd been annoyed by how Chelsey and Randy acted in front of me despite not doing anything bad at all. It is not fair toward him and the maid who has done nothing but serve the drinks that I requested. Even Randy looked at me wondering what went wrong when I clenched my fist above the desk. We were just discussing something important about the warriors that are guarding the western part border of the South. The place where Bernard and his friends are taking care of."So Richard, are we going to leave now or do you have something to finish here in the office?"My eyes moved to my glass realizing that it had been empty for a while then I did not finish mine. I grabbed my glass and then drank it empty before putting it back on the desk."Alright, I'm ready. Let's head out and meet the wolves on the border."I removed all the thoughts about her and how she affects my senses. The thoughts of her should be out now that I need to check the matters o
*Isabella*"Oh, They are so lovely Bernard! Thank you."I smiled widely at the beautiful fresh red roses wrapped neatly in a printed thick wrapping paper. The bouquet I did not expect to receive today since we had no plan on celebrating my twenty-third birthday. However, Bernard had a surprise appearance early in the morning. The smile on his lips warmed my heart. I bet that he came here first before going to his work."Happy birthday my dear Isabella."He lowered his head to give me a peck on the cheek which I accepted gladly. I turned around to find an empty antique flower vase sitting above the long wooden table in the living room. Then I carefully place the flowers inside, removing the wrapper and folding them before throwing them quickly at the nearest bin."Thank you, Bernard! You are the first person to greet me today."I walk gracefully towards him, aware of his eyes looking at the very tight black denim that I wore with a matching tank top in the same color. The obvious admir
* Isabella *I look at my reflection in the mirror, with my hair done in soft curls from the salon. To change my usual straight hair I went to get it done, especially for this evening. Excitement and joy filled my lungs as I thought of the five-star restaurant in the City. It's been a while since I had dined there, without my father. The dress I'm wearing is a sleeveless V-neck midi dress in a vintage blue color. The stylish and flattering neckline shows a bit of my cleavage and skin in the middle of my breast.My shoes are of the same color and I brought with me a blue silk scarf in case the cold gets into me. Even in summertime, the North has a low temperature, which some enjoy but there are also a few who want to have the heat of the sun during summer. "Miss Bannister?"A soft voice coming from Martha made me turn away from the full-length body mirror of my room. "Yes Martha, did Bernard come?"She smiled looking at me from top to bottom. "You are so beautiful tonight Miss Bannist
* Alpha Charles *There were several rogues spotted in hiding at the most crowded place in the North, the City. I must pursue the investigation further, as it would be dangerous for the humans to protect themselves against a rogue attack. We had stayed until evening and found a few traces that we must continue our search. Before going back to the Alpha house, I decided to treat the warriors at a restaurant. "Are you sure this is a good place for us Alpha? This looked expensive."Ben, one of the warriors with me, looked around and commented on the elegant place. There are only a few guests around that is why I chose the place."It does not matter the price, Ben. What I want is for us to have a private conversation, some humans would freak out when they know that we are not among them."He nodded. "You guys order whatever you want. I will come back in a second. Beta Lohan, will you order for me?""Sure thing Alpha." Lohan is the best warrior in the pack and knows me better than anyone
* Isabella *"Good morning Dad!"I give him a peck on the cheek while he folds the daily newspaper on his lap. A wide smile curved his lips. "Good morning my dear. Are you going to the ranch early?"Looking at my cowboy outfit, he doesn't even need to ask where I'm going. I haven't slept well thinking about what happened last night. I took a deep breath in."There is something I wanted to ask you, Dad."He put back the cup of coffee in the saucer and looked at me. "Hmmm, what is it, Isabella? You seemed anxious so early today. Did something happen last night?"I cleared my throat when Martha came in the dining room bringing the usual breakfast. The smell of bacon and scrambled eggs made me look at her. I waited until she was done putting a cup of coffee in front of me. "Thank you, Martha.""My pleasure Miss Bannister, please enjoy your breakfast, and you also Mr. Bannister."My father nodded towards her and waited until I started talking. "I had a great time with Bernard last night D
* Isabella *The following day came fast just like a blink of an eye. I woke up early to get ready for my morning run around the backyard of the Bannister mansion. It feels good to have peace and maintain the quiet and safe surroundings of our lands. My father loves this place despite it being far from the City proper of the North. I guess old men love nature and the slow life away from the busy streets of the City.I was about to get back to the house when along the road my phone rang. "Hello?""Miss Bannister, sorry to disturb your morning run but your father asked me to call you."It was Martha on the other side of the line using the phone of the house. "What is it, Martha? Did the guest arrive?""Yes, Miss Bannister, and your father wants you to come back quick and meet with them in the library."I turned the phone off and ran fast towards the backside of the mansion. He came earlier than usual, I let out a harsh breath after arriving at the gates which the guard opened promptly.
* Isabella *There is almost a thousand acres of land which belongs to the leader of the Bannister and about a quarter is inhabited and well develop by my father and uncle. After the recent meeting with the Alpha of the Cold mountain pack my father called out my cousins and other relatives together with the people who works at the ranch and the farm."Today I would like to announce the new leader of the Bannister hunters! None other than, my only child! Isabella Abegail Bannister!"My Aunt and Uncle clap their hands as both of them stand up from their chairs to give me a formal greetings. It was a brief introduction from my father since it is pre determine that I would replace him of the title."Congratulations Isabella! I know you can make it, you have the blood of your father running through your veins! We are here to give you our full support just like how we supported my brother!"The smile on my uncle's lips might look genuine but I could see the disappointment deep inside of him
