Threatened

She suspected that her thoughts were coming into a reality, she feared that Isaac was no longer interested in her. For the first time in years, Isaac didn't touch Phoenix when she was in his house. No words could describe how that single act made her develop so much hatred for Lilith.

Although he spent the night in her room but didn't allow him to touch her, she was not even allowed to come closer than a meter to him.

Morning came and the anger on her face was visible, Isaac chose to ignore it as he decided to head back to his room.

" Isaac, what's going on, you didn't touch me?" She blurted out for Isaac to stop in his tracks. His forehead immediately creased, he knew she would ask that question, and that was why he tried to avoid it as he also didn't know why she irritated him.

He looked at her but didn't say anything.

" Do I irk you, is that why you ask your Beta to treat me like garbage? Just yesterday, I wanted to see the lucky female that was now mated to you."

She stopped and stared at the mark on his neck.

She couldn't get her mind off it, that same mark made her not to sleep throughout the night. Isaac now belonged to someone else, she had no chance of getting him.

" But Xavier treated me like garbage, do you know why he did that, because you are no longer moved by me, I am now like every other harem out there, used and dumped.",

She was pretty emotional as she said those words with a whole lot of tears flowing down her cheeks but she failed to realize the kind of wolf that stood before her.

Instead of feeling pity, he became angry. If she hadn't sprouted out those words, it would have escaped his mind. That's right, he could remember that he clearly warned her to never be close to his new mate but not only did she disobey him once, but twice.

She got close to Lilith when he was not around and when he was taking her to his room.

Everyone who had met Isaac in one way or the other would know that one thing he hated was to be disobeyed.

" Why did you go close to her, didn't you hear me when I spelled out that you shouldn't?" he said with gritted teeth. He slowly walked up to her and formed a fist with his palms.

Phoenix was no longer the angry little wolf as fear took over her. She knew what Isaac could do whenever he was angry, she had been a victim of his anger and wouldn't want to experience such again.

As Isaac moved forward, she moved back until her back touched the wall, there was no escape for her.

Just like lightning, one of Isaac's hands was found on her neck as he firmly gripped it. His eyes were filled with no emotions as he stared blankly at her without care that there was a possibility that she could die.

The more she struggled, the more Isaac's grip on her intensified, she failed to remember that Isaac was a much stronger wolf. Just before she could draw her final breath, Isaac threw her away for her to let out a series of dry coughs.

" Next time, you will never go against my order."

Just before Isaac could leave the room, he was again stopped by the female that wouldn't keep her mouth shut. It seemed that she wished to die at that moment and saw angering Isaac as the best way to do that.

" If I can't have you, then she also can't. I will tell the elder wolves and your father that you forced a female into being your mate and had her marked."

Those words were like poison to his consciousness, what the heck did she just say? She had just threatened him and no way would he let her escape. Letting her go means he stood a chance of being exposed and it could lead to James also being exposed, that was one thing he wasn't ready to lose.

" Don't dare me Isaac, I will do it!" She continued amid the dangerous look on his face.

" Too bad, you won't have the chance to do so." he blurted out. Before Phoenix could have the chance to figure out what he meant, Isaac used his hand to hold her neck but this time with the intent to kill.

If she had thought that Isaac she saw a few minutes ago was dangerous, then the one that she was seeing was the replica of the devil.

" I..I. Isaac, you are killing – "

Before she could complete her sentence, Isaac broke her neck and she instantly died. With irritation taken over him, he flung her body and walked out of the room like nothing happened.

Again, the annoying Beta seemed to have waited for him at the door of Phoenix's room with a poker face. He didn't seem pleased that Isaac had spent the night with his harem. He thought that the mating mark would make Isaac have a change of heart, especially with the fact that he had a naked mate on his bed, little did he know that the mating mark had started to act up and the harem was dead.

Isaac had no time for Xavier so he walked past him but blurted out the words that shocked the hell out of Xavier. " Take the dead body out of the room and bring me another female."

Without waiting for Xavier to say anything, he walked away.

Xavier immediately ran into the room to be welcomed by Phoenix's dead body. He was really surprised, he had never thought that a day like this would come. He hated to admit it but Phoenix was Isaac's favorite harem because of her beauty and body shape.

' What must have transpired between these two?' Xavier murmured.

He feared for Lilith, what if she ends up having the same fate as Phoenix? Sometimes he had to ask himself if Isaac was destined to never have a mate, especially with the way he treats and kills females.

If his memory serves him right, Phoenix would be the seventh female that Isaac had killed.

Xavier abruptly took her body away from the room.

Meanwhile….

Isaac stopped at his track when he reached his door, he was hesitant to open the door since his body tends to fire up whenever he was around Lilith.

It was the sex they were supposed to have, although they weren't intimate when they marked each other, it doesn't mean that the urge wasn't there and it was eating the hell out of him.

He knew that the mating mark also affected her but she might try to hide it. Werewolves are always crazy for sex after the marking process, that was why he wanted to spend the night with Phoenix but when he touched her, the urge disappeared and reappeared as he stood at his door.

Isaac cursed.

With slow speed, he opened the door and was surprised when he didn't see Lilith in the bed. He rushed to the bathroom but she wasn't there, he checked the closet and she was also not there.

If it were to be the unmarked Isaac, he wouldn't have been bothered of her whereabouts especially when he was so sure that she was still in his house but now that he had been marked by her, his wolf wasn't comfortable with her absence.

His mind immediately went to the living room as the likely place she would be since that was the only place in the house she was familiar with.

As expected she was there and he unknowingly formed a smile on his face. But everything was put into standstill by what or who came into the scene.

There, Lilith could be found seated at one of the couches, lost in her thoughts while Isaac stood at the ground stairs.

Xavier came into view with Phoenix's body on his shoulder.

The moment Lilith moved her gaze to Xavier, her eyes widened. Why was he carrying her like that, was she dead?

It was then that she noticed Isaac's presence in the room as he fired cold stares at Xavier. Why would he barge with Phoenix on his shoulder when Lilith was in the living room?

Xavier cursed, he could have sworn that when he left the living room to bug Issac, Lilith was not there. He wasn't so stupid or playful to show Lilith Phoenix's dead body especially when he knew how fragile she was.

It was now a staring contest between the trio, Isaac didn't remove his dagger stares at Xavier while Lilith didn't spare a glance at Isaac as her focus was on Xavier and the female he was carrying, Xavier's stares occasionally moved from Lilith to Isaac.

" Xavier, isn't that Phoenix?" Lilith finally broke the awkward silence with her question. Xavier ignored her question and stylishly asked Isaac to help him out but he wasn't going to receive any help since for an unknown reason, Isaac had also blanked out.

When there was no answer from him, she moved closer to him to check if Phoenix was dead. Her face immediately went sour when she saw how pale Phoenix's face was. No one needed to tell her that she was dead.

Without being told, she immediately figured out that it was Isaac that had killed Phoenix.

That was enough to deepen the fright she had for Isaac. If what Xavier has told her was true, why would Isaac kill his favorite female? What assurance did she have that she was also safe even if they were marked?

Didn't Isaac tell her that he was going to spend the night with Phoenix? Was that the reason why he went to Phoenix's room, to kill her?

In the next second, she immediately ran out of the living room but her gaze met with Isaac's for the briefest moment before she ran out of his sight.

" I'm sorry, I didn't know that she would be here!" Xavier broke the intense silence.

Isaac sighed, he couldn't blame his Beta, Xavier was only doing what he was instructed to do. There was no way he would have known that Lilith was in the living room.

Without waiting for another second, Isaac left for his room for Xavier to let out the heavy breath he had held.
