ISABELLA'S POV ~

"Shut the fuck up, you bitch!" Alex snarled, flinging me into the room. My heels, already shaky, betrayed me, and I hit the ground with a hard thud, my face smashing against the ground and bruising my nose. I broke into sobs, crawling away, my body trembling with fear and pain.

Memories of the past, dark and twisted, rose up in my mind, threatening to overwhelm me. I shook my head, trying to push them away, but they wouldn't be silenced. For goodness sake, they just wouldn't be silenced!

"No, no, no," I whispered, my voice barely a whisper as the sobs wracked my body. I knew I couldn't break down, not now, not here, but my mind was spiraling into darkness.

I had to fight, had to get away, but the terror was suffocating, overwhelming.

"Fuck!" Alex spat, his blood spraying the tiles. I watched the droplet fall, my body tensing as he growled, his eyes full of murderous rage. He wiped the blood from his lip with his sleeve, his gaze settling on me, sending a chill down my

You're Isabella?" he stammered, his voice betraying his surprise.But I couldn't respond. My lips, like the rest of me, were paralyzed. I could only watch, my terror mounting, as Alex straightened, his shock giving way to a calculating gaze.Alex suddenly threw his head back, his wicked laughter filling the room. He clapped his hands together in glee, shaking his head in disbelief."I must say, I didn't expect to find you here," he said, his voice dripping with dark humor. "You've proven to be quite the slippery prey, but it seems fate has brought you back into my grasp. And this time, I won't let you escape unscathed.”Tears streamed down my face, their salty warmth mingling with the dread coiling through my body. I could only watch, paralyzed, as Alex gloated over my fate.“I'll admit, I was disappointed wh

    ISABELLA'S POV ~I held my breath as a wave crashed over me. Hot spasms rolled through me as I climaxed."Good girl," he praised as my orgasm subsided, my muscles clenching around him. After a few moments, I opened my eyes blearily, realizing that he'd pulled his pants off. A pleased, knowing look crossed his face.“You're mine now.”Our mouths collided together, tongues immediately tangling with each others as the hunger grew stronger, fiercer.I pushed my pussy harder against his hand. "Please," I begged. "I want...""Huh?" He asked, clearly enjoying my torment. "Tell me exactly what you want.""Fuck me, please," I sobbed desperately.Finally, he bent down, licking my ear lobe. "Soon, baby" .Moments later, he was kneeling above me, his cock thick and veiny. He stared hungrily at the outline of my tits which bounced invitingly in their bindings. Taking my ankles in his hands, Ryan placed them behind my ears. If I hadn't been already soaking wet, having both of my knees drawn back to

    RYAN'S POV~My gaze immediately snapped to the door as the sound of bare feet padding away resonated through the room. I caught the shadow of Isabella gliding away, and a small, involuntary smile curved my lips.Quickly, I shook my head and shifted my focus back to the stove, tasting the dish and ensuring it was perfect for my beloved wife. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine cooking for a woman, let alone with such tenderness and love that she’d savor every bite.I turned off the stove, fishing for my cell phone in my apron. After several rings, my brother's slurred voice echoed through the line. “Shit! Always ruining my morning with your calls. Can’t I get any rest from you?”I rolled my eyes, not in the mood for his games."I called you to inform you that George must be dismissed immediately, while you give an adequate replacement of Cindy as the chief designer." I ordered. "You’re aware of what happened with my wife. I won’t tolerate a repeat of that. You are the primary inve

    ISABELLA'S POV~"Please, everyone, be still," the man commanded, his voice carrying across the room. "I am Leo, as you know, the investor in charge of this project. I assure you, there will be no interruption to the progress of the pack. However, we have become aware of a serious incident, and we are taking all necessary steps to ensure that it does not happen again." He paused, his eyes momentarily locking with mine before sliding away. My heart skipped a beat.Why did it feel as though he was speaking directly to me?“In conclusion of what's been said, it means there would be a fair competition, with the winner becoming the new chief designer," he said, his voice carrying a hint of finality. "That's fair." A small smile played across his lips as he addressed the group.I found myself unable to look away from his face, my eyes locked intently on his features. What was it that I was searching for? My heart pounded with a growing sense of unease as I tried to place the source of my dis

    ISABELLA'S POV ~"Do you have her?" a voice hissed, its familiarity sending a chill down my spine.“Yes we do, sir." Another replied.My head pounded like a war drum, each thud sending a wave of nausea through my body. I tried to open my eyes, but the world was a blur of spinning shapes and colors. Through the haze, I caught glimpses of faces - sinister, leering faces that seemed to loom over me like vultures.My throat felt extremely parched, I opened my mouth to utter just a word when a command followed next, “Knock her unconscious, we're almost at the venue."My heart dropped and yet I couldn't even protest or try to move. Before I could think of reacting, a hard surface landed once again at the side of my head, where a throbbing pain was occuring. Everywhere turned entirely black once more.~ ~ ~The more I tried to sit up, the more my head throbbed, sending spikes of pain through my skull. But as I glanced down at my hands, I froze in h

    RYAN'S POV~There was something wrong. Deep in the pit of my stomach, I could feel it like a thousand needles prickling against my skin. Something was not right with Isabella, but she had been so happy to go back to work that I hadn't had the heart to stop her.Damn it, I cursed inwardly as I sat behind the wheel, my knuckles white as I gripped the steering wheel. Why hadn't I insisted that she stay home? That I would provide everything she needed? I could afford it, hell, I could buy her the damn company if I wanted to.Isabella was a force to be reckoned with, and I respected the hell out of her for it. She wanted to make it to the top on her own merits, not because of who she was with or who she knew. And as much as I wished she would lean on me, I knew that wasn't who she was.But as I watched her disappear from sight, my heart clenched in my chest, a feeling of dread washing over me.Shit! I should have stayed longer.And yet I didn't.I had waited outside the building for an hou

    ISABELLA'S POV ~What the hell was happening? This couldn’t be real, could it? Had I finally lost my mind? Right before my eyes, Ryan had transformed into a wolf — not just a wolf, but a freakishly large one that seemed to take up the entire hallway. Something I've never envisioned he could actually shift into.A low, menacing growl echoed through the empty building, sending a chill down my spine and freezing me in place. My jaw hit the floor as I gawked at the monster in front of me. Had I been transported into a horror movie, or was this some kind of twisted nightmare?In my panic-induced haze, I found myself thinking the most absurd thoughts. Maybe this was all some kind of elaborate prank? Maybe Ryan was just a really good actor, and he’d gotten ahold of some high-tech special effects? Or maybe I’d eaten some bad pizza before bed, and this was just a hallucination brought on by food poisoning? Or perhaps I was running insane? What. Was. Happening?!!Whatever it was, I knew one thi

It was hard to believe that someone with her beauty and presence could also have such a commanding aura.I forced a wide smile, but as I watched her, my gaze lingered just a bit too long. Her smile lingered too.I shrugged awkwardly. "I'm sorry for the mess out there. Those guys were getting way too aggressive, trying to force me to drink with them and exchange contacts. When I resisted, they started hurling disgusting insults at me.I gave her a nervous chuckle, trying to brush it off. "But thanks for coming to my rescue," I said. She just nodded, her smile still intact.It was then that I realized that my palms were sweating and my heart was racing. I took a deep breath and forced myself to calm down. I didn't even realize that all these while I was getting so worked up. Sure, she was gorgeous, but I'd never felt this way before

Her surprise was palpable, but I couldn't let her leave, not when I needed her so fiercely.She froze, her breath hitching as she felt my heartbeat against hers, my arms tight around her waist. My face buried itself in her hair, and I took deep breaths of her lingering scent. My grip on her tightened, and I felt her body tense beneath mine. "Bella," I growled, my voice barely contained, "Don't leave.”"I won't be your prisoner, Ryan. I can't live like that anymore," Isabella whispered, tears filling her eyes.

Linda's mocking tone stung like a slap, causing my eyes to water."Y-Yes, your Majesty," I stammered, forcing a weak smile that crumbled under her icy stare."So you're the Omega that seduced my son? You're the girl of no status?" she continued, her words hitting me like daggers. "Finally I've gotten to meet you."Her gaze pierced me, my stomach churning with discomfort.She tutted, disgust dripping from her voice. "And this is the girl that my son claims to love?"Linda's words stabbed at my chest, her mockery roiling my insides.

But she simply shrugged, dismissing my concerns as if they were nothing."You must have been under a spell for you to go out to another city and engage with a common girl with no status," she spat, her eyes darkening in anger. "How ridiculous it would sound to the parliament! How would they envision their leader bringing home such a valueless girl, tell me?!" Her voice kept rising. I fists slowly clenched in frustration. My father, sitting at the head of the table, stopped eating, his expression reflecting his own displeasure, making it clear whose side he was on.I exhaled a shaky breath, trying to keep my anger under control. I rubbed my temple, trying to ease the tension building in my head, but it was useless. There was no way to make this situation better."I'm not going to talk about this

The dress, a beautiful shade of champagne, hugged my figure perfectly, the sequins catching the light and sparkling like stars. It was a dream dress for every exquisite lady, a dress one would dream of wearing in her life. For a moment, my mother just stared, her lips parted slightly in surprise. She took a breath and stood up, her eyes never leaving my body."You look..." Her voice trailing off as she came closer. "More than fabulous. You're so beautiful, my Bella. Do you know sometimes I wonder if I'm your biological mother?""Mom, stop!" I burst forth into giggles and sniffles as I walked closer to her.I wrapped my arms around her, trying to lighten the mood. "You're flattering me. Thank you."But as I kissed her forehead, I saw her frown, and my heart sank. She was silent, and I could tell she was holding something back. I pursed

I tried to push the memories away, but they were persistent, clinging to my mind like a persistent shadow.As our feet stepped onto the platform, the city’s life swirled around us, its vibrancy almost tangible.

    ISABELLA'S POV ~The heavy breath escaped my lips for what felt like the millionth time that night, as I struggled to find a comfortable position in the soft, cold bed. Despite my endless tossing, my mind refused to settle down, thoughts of the Winter Fall Pack swarming like a hive of bees in my head. Was I really going to accept James' invitation to go there? To the place where Ryan's parents dwelled? The prospect filled me with a mixture of dread and uncertainty, as if my future was hanging by a thread.I was just about to drift off into a fitful sleep, when a sharp, sudden crash erupted from outside my door.

    RYAN'S POV~I hadn't slept well in years, not since Isabella had left my life. I was a shadow of my former self, a broken shell of a man, tortured by her absence. Every day, I watched her from afar, disguised and hidden, too scared to approach her, too afraid to confront the pain I knew would come with seeing her again. It was a silent agony, watching her from a distance, knowing that she was within my reach and yet still so far away.I missed her more than I could ever put into words.I did what I could to help her, to try to make her life easier. I made sure to boost her grocery store online, drawing in customers and helping her business to thrive. But it only served to remind me of what I'd lost, to rub salt in the wound of her absence.I hated that she was working so hard, that she was overworking herself, but I knew that this was what she wanted. She wanted her own success, her own money, her own life, and I couldn't fault her for that.It felt like a piece of me died every day t
