My Mysterious Mate Chapter 49
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 Every day, I find myself asking the same questions. Is fate nothing but a trick of the light? A false promise that fades away just when you need it most? And what of fortune? A ravenous beast, feasting on the innocent, leaving nothing but anguish and despair in its wake. Yes, that's what it is. That's what I believe.I stare into the cracked, half-broken mirror, my reflection staring back with sunken eyes, black circles under them, and disheveled hair.A picture of a woman defeated by fate, tired and weary."Isabella dear... Are you done? Let me get you going." The soft, weakened voice of my mother pierces through the silence, as she shuffles into the room, a tattered blanket draped over her shoulders. I turn to face her, her movements slow and weak as she rummages through the closet to find the best dress for me to wear tonight.The sight of my aging sick mother, frail and weak, brings tears to my eyes. Why couldn't I have been more fortunate? My heart breaks into a

RYAN'S POVShit. Fucking shit. The moment she said it, my whole body turned rigid. My eyes narrowed, my jaw clenched, and my wolf, Braxton, went absolutely fucking feral inside of me. He was growling, snarling, clawing at my insides, desperate to mark her right then and there. I couldn't even concentrate fully on what was been said, I'm busy trying to stop my wolf from jumping on her.But I kept myself still. I couldn't blink, couldn't think, couldn't. fucking. breathe.All I could do was stare at her, my mind racing, my wolf howling. She wanted me to mark her just like that? What the actual fuck?I was completely thrown off by her demand. I thought we were here to just matchmake and then get to know more of each other like this date thing required?I was used to being in control, being the one who made the demands. And now this woman, this fucking woman, had the audacity to demand something like that from me? My eyes were about bulging but I willed them to stop because once they did,

ISABELLA'S POV When Ryan's phone rang, I was relieved to some extend. This was too crazy. I became the mate with a strange man I just met. I pretended to be calm and wrote down my phone number and address to him, then watched Ryan slip away.The next day, I did everything I could to keep my mind off Ryan.But try as I might, my brain kept going back to last night. "Shit, I'm a mess," I muttered, pacing around my store and tugging at my hair. "I need to get a grip." I furiously yanked open the windows, letting the cool breeze whip through the room."Hey!" a voice called out, and I jumped. Lily was standing in the doorway, eyebrows raised."You okay?" she asked, her voice tinged with concern as she approached me."Yeah, I'm fine," I lied, trying to sound convincing.But Lily wasn't buying it. She scrutinized my face for a moment, and then her gaze drifted lower.Her eyes widened and she gasped, taking a step backwards.My heart skipped a beat. What had she seen?My pulse raced as Lily'

ISABELLA'S POV My mind was lost in a fog of thoughts, my fork pushing the grains of rice around my plate mindlessly. Suddenly my mother's voice resounded in the air."Child, can you pass me the salt?" Her question broke my trance, and I looked up, shaking off the cobwebs in my head. With a quick nod, I reached for the salt shaker and handed it to her, feeling the prickle of embarrassment as her gaze lingered on me."Are you okay, dear?" she asked, concern creeping into her voice. I let out a sigh, a little sharp too sharp and loud for the quiet of the dining room. I opened my mouth to brush off her concern with a quick "I'm fine," but the words wouldn't come. I shifted in my seat, the chair letting out a high-pitched squeal that echoed through the space.My mother cocked an eyebrow, her expression telling me that she was waiting for more. I swallowed hard, knowing that I couldn't put it off any longer."I've found a partner," I blurted out, plastering a wide smile on my face. But

ISABELLA'S POV It felt like the air had been sucked out of the room. Ryan's expression fell, and I bit the insides of my cheek to try to stop my heart from racing.The urge to strangle Ryan was possibly written on my face. This had gone so wrong! Mama's eyes darted between us, her stoic expression betraying nothing, but I could sense her unease.We all sat there in silence, the tension building with every passing moment. I couldn't bring myself to speak, my throat dry and my mind racing."That seems... Great?" Mama forced a smile, trying to play along. "Isabella has said so much about you. Thank you for inviting us over." Her words were heavy with unspoken accusations.I could feel the hairs on the back of my neck standing up, the tension so thick you could cut it with a knife. Ryan shifted uncomfortably in his seat, and I could tell he was struggling to keep his composure. Mama, however, seemed unaffected by the tension, firing off questions and observing our reactions with a keen

ISABELLA'S POV ~“Hey there, Shock-a-Rella! Why don't you leave that death trap to the professionals before you fry yourself into a human circuit board?"Those words snapped me back to reality and I jolted away from the power strip I had been absentmindedly cleaning, eyes wide with shock. "Oh my god!" I gasped, my body trembling as I stumbled back, a cold sweat breaking out on my skin.I could feel the color draining from my face as I took in the exposed wires. What was I thinking when cleaning these? I could have electrocuted myself! My heart pounded in my chest as I fought to regain my composure."Hey, are you okay?" Ryan asked, his voice laced with concern as he gently squeezed my shoulders. I spun around to face him, my breathing still rapid as I took a few steps back. His eyebrows furrowed as he took in my panicked expression."Yeah, I am," I said, tucking some hair behind my ear and clearing my throat, trying to sound calm and collected. "You're here? You needed something?" I cr

My Mysterious Mate Chapter 48
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
My Mysterious Mate Chapter 47
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
My Mysterious Mate Chapter 46
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
My Mysterious Mate Chapter 45
ISABELLA'S POV ~I tremble as I cling to Ryan, my heart racing and my mind reeling. I can still feel the lingering touch of Alex, the memory of his leering gaze and the threat of violence still fresh in my mind. But Ryan's presence is a balm to my battered soul.He holds me like I'm a fragile piece of glass, his arms cradling me as if I'm the most precious thing in the world. He holds me so close that I can feel his heartbeat against my chest, a steady rhythm that calms me and reminds me that I'm safe.As the Uber pulls up to our home, Ryan doesn't let go of me. He carries me to the bedroom, my arms wrapped around his neck, my face buried in his shoulder.

Despite the blood that stains his clothes, he doesn't let go of me. He knows that I need him, that I need his strength and his love to chase away the darkness that still linger
My Mysterious Mate Chapter 44
ISABELLA'S POV ~And then, something changed. The evil grin on his face vanished, replaced by a look of shock. He took a step back, pointing at me in disbelief."You're… Oh shit! 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 ~"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
My Mysterious Mate Chapter 42
ISABELLA'S POV ~The van ride seemed to drag on for an eternity, each bump in the road jostling my already frayed nerves. Finally, we arrived at our destination and George stepped out first, barking orders to the driver before shooting us a withering look."We're made to go on a dinner with some of these investors," Susan, who has remained stiff since we began the journey, suddenly spoke up. I bit back a retort, my jaw clenching in anger. But what could I say? We were trapped in this nightmare, at the mercy of George and his nefarious plans.The van door swung open and Susan and I stepped out into the fading light of day, walking towards the luxurious entrance of the five-star hotel. In my hands was a small card, indicating the table where we were expected to dine with our assigned investors. I gripped it tightly, my knuckles whitening as fear and dread raced through my veins.I tried to convince myself that I wasn't terrified, that my nerves weren't screaming with panic. But deep do
