IsobelRyle's departure left a strong impression on me, his figure fading away as he turned his back, leaving me standing alone. His exit felt heavy, like a big stone weighing down on me. I felt very sad, like a part of me was breaking as he walked further and further away. The onlookers surrounded me, their faces twisted with disdain and condemnation, suffocating me under the weight of their collective judgment. Each accusatory glare bore into my soul, amplifying the anguish within me. I looked desperately through the crowd, hoping to catch sight of Ryle again, wishing he might change his mind and understand the truth amid all the lies and rumors. But he was moving away, almost gone from view, and I couldn't blame him. The unkind words thrown at me only made the pain in my heart worse.Then, a cruel taunt cut through me like a knife. "No one's gonna save you now, bitch."Those words shattered what little hope remained within me. It was a stark reminder of my isolation, of how easily
RyleI found myself in Avti Pablo, dragged there by my own feet as if pulled by some invisible force. For me, there's nowhere else to turn to vent my anger, disappointment, and frustration. Sitting on the very spot where Isobel and I once watched the orange everglow of the sunset, my chest aches, and breathing feels impossible. I'm heartbroken, shattered by everything I've witnessed. This nightmare scenario never even crossed my mind, not in a million years."Where did I go wrong? WHY?" The questions echo in my mind, unanswered, tormenting me. I wish I knew the reasons behind Isobel's betrayal. I wish I could delve into her innermost thoughts. We were only in this special relationship for less than a month, and yet she's already abandoned me, seeking solace in another man's arms."So you're just fucking playing, huh?" The bitterness seeps into my words, reflecting the deep hurt and betrayal I feel.I chugged the bottle of alcohol I'd ordered, each gulp burning down my throat as if it
IsobelThe next few days have been a living nightmare for me. It's like I've been plunged into hell, and there's no end in sight. It feels as though everyone at Silver-U has turned against me, leaving me to fend for myself in this hostile environment. I try to go about my school life as usual, but it seems like every corner I turn, there's someone ready to make my life miserable.No one seems to believe me, not even Ryle. It's heartbreaking to see him doubt me, but I understand why he might. After all, I have no way to prove my innocence. I'm frustrated and disappointed, but there's a small part of me that can't blame him entirely.As I navigate the halls, I can feel the stares and whispers following me like a dark cloud. And then, the familiar taunting voice cuts through the air, reminding me of just how isolated I am in this battle."Look who's here," they sneer, and I can't help but feel the weight of their judgment bearing down on me. It's moments like these that make me wonder if
Lorrie"I'm not gonna lie. I really miss Isobel right now. It’s been awhile." I sighed, feeling the weight of her absence keenly. I couldn't deny it to myself, I missed my best friend terribly. Silently, I immersed myself in the book I held, tuning out Scott's presence beside me. Usually, we'd spend our free time together, hanging out in the library. For us, it was the perfect haven for students like us...below average and often invisible.But then, the tranquility of the library was shattered by some commotion. Irritated, I knew it went against the library rules to disturb others while reading. The other students rushed out, leaving Scott and me bewildered."What’s happening?" Scott asked, his confusion mirroring my own.I scanned the room, searching for answers, and then impulsively grabbed someone's arm. "Tell me… What’s going on?"“Oh, Lorrie! Well, big news!! It’s about Ryle’s girl, Isobel,” the person exclaimed excitedly.Scott's eyes widened in surprise. "What happened?"“She’
RyleI walked into the campus, trying to maintain my usual composed demeanor despite the curious stares from the other students. It wasn't easy, but I refused to let anyone see the turmoil swirling within me. As I passed by, one of the students tapped me on the back.“Just letting you know you’re still welcome to go back to the ‘Brotherhood.” I glanced back and saw my old friends, their smiles reaching their eyes. “No woman could take Ryle Vanderberg down!” one of them declared, and I couldn't help but chuckle.“So the exile is finally back huh,” another one remarked, acknowledging the truth in their words. Returning to the company of those jerks I used to call friends wasn't the worst idea. It would provide a temporary distraction and some semblance of normalcy. Despite the pain gnawing at my insides, I refused to show weakness. The last thing I wanted was for anyone to pity me.The blood of an Alpha still coursed through my veins, and my ego was the only thing I had left. I wouldn'
Lorrie I was seething with anger as Scott tried to hold me back. "Come on Lorrie! Stop! This is not right," he urged, but I couldn't contain my fury. "What do you mean not right? I’m here to confront the one who started this mess. If you don't go then leave me alone, Scott," I snapped, yanking my arm away from his grasp. Scott persisted, pulling me back further. "But this isn’t right, Lorrie. You’re planning to trespass illegally. We might get in jail for that," he reasoned. I couldn't believe his hesitation. Frustration boiled over, and I smacked his head. "We’re not going inside, dumbass. We’ll just wait outside Thea’s place and confront her. I’m not as stupid as you think." With that, Scott relented, and we made our way to Thea’s place. Hiding behind a big bush, we watched and waited until Thea appeared, looking distracted and stressed. “There she is!” Scott whispered, and I pulled him behind the bush to hide. We observed Thea closely. “She seemed distracted,” Scott noted,
RyleI couldn't shake off the frustration gnawing at me as I waited for any sign of progress. My uncle's silence felt like an impenetrable wall, suffocating me with uncertainty. With each passing moment, Isobel's predicament weighed heavier on my mind."WHAT’S TAKING HIM SO LONG?" I muttered aloud, my patience stretched thin.I hurled my phone against the wall in frustration before sinking onto the nearest seat, running my hands through my hair in exasperation. The sense of helplessness was suffocating. I couldn't just sit idly by while Isobel suffered, but without my uncle's guidance, I felt lost."Two days is enough, Lucca. I’m gonna go see my mate. Nothing would happen with just waiting," I declared, attempting to convince myself more than anyone else.But Lucca's voice echoed in my mind, halting my impulsive move. "Don’t rush things, Ryle. I know it’s very frustrating to wait knowing what’s happening to your mate. But this is the only choice we have. Think, Ryle."His words struck
IsobelI opened my eyes, but the familiar feeling of emptiness still lingered within me. It seemed like this void in my heart just kept expanding, growing with each passing day. Ever since those accusations were thrown at me, it's been there, a constant companion in my life. I wake up to it every morning, the pain greeting me before anything else.Getting out of bed felt like dragging heavy shackles along with me. The prospect of facing another day at school was daunting, to say the least. But I had something driving me forward, something that pushed me to endure despite the agony. It was my mom's dream, our dream of a peaceful life in the human world. I couldn't give up, not when so much was riding on it. Even though I never imagined that achieving the life I wanted for my mom would be this hard.Leaving the cafe, I noticed Mrs. Potts's perceptive gaze, silently acknowledging the turmoil within me. Despite this, I pressed forward, each step feeling heavier than the last. As I entered
"So the council members agreed with his delusions, huh?" I inquired, my tone tinged with disappointment.The head advisor nodded solemnly. "I was the only one who disagreed with the matter, Alpha. There's nothing I can do.""I see..." I sighed. My jaw tightened when the news hit my ears. I clenched the glass of scotch tightly before sipping its content in one gulp. The intoxicating liquid burned my throat a little but I didn’t flinch. Because more than the heat that this alcohol was giving me, it was my rage that kept me burning inside. "Letting that kid go would be an utter disgrace to the Vanderberg name. I refuse to tarnish the honor of my father just because of my foolish son."The head advisor offered a word of caution. "But Alpha... Your son appears resolute. It won't be an easy task to dissuade him."I took a sip of my scotch, contemplating the situation. "I know... And I have no one to blame but myself. If only I had taken immediate action against that lowly she-wolf. Perhap
Isobel Finally, the day of the concert arrived, and I found myself standing in line with my friends, eagerly awaiting our chance to see the Midnight Wolf perform live. Well, everyone except Thea, who seemed rather indifferent. "I don’t know why I agreed to this. I don’t even know that dude," Thea remarked, her skepticism palpable. But Lorrie, always the optimist, reassured her, wrapping her arms around Thea's and whispering, "Don’t you worry. Soon, you’re gonna understand the hype." She then turned to me, grinning mischievously, and whispered, "Sissy, once we're out of this concert, I’m gonna convert this dumb lady into a die-hard fan." I couldn't help but chuckle at her enthusiasm, while Thea looked on curiously, demanding to know what was being said. Lorrie smoothly deflected, "Oh forget about it… Just make sure to enjoy this day cuz' once you’re out of here, a new Thea will be born." Scott and I shared a laugh, while Thea, still puzzled, watched Lorrie lead the way, linking a
RyleI summoned an emergency pack meeting, and everyone responded promptly. Their deep respect for me as the alpha heir was evident as we all gathered in the council room, each of us curious about the sudden call.Regrettably, my father couldn't be present; important matters demanded his attention elsewhere. Nonetheless, I steeled myself and proceeded with the meeting. The council members, acknowledging my role as the future Alpha, listened closely, likely expecting news they had been anticipating for some time.Inside the council chamber, the weight of their expectant gazes pressed upon me as I took a moment to collect my thoughts. With a deep breath to steady myself, I began, realizing that this moment was no longer just a vision but a reality I had to confront head-on."Good day, everyone," I greeted them, my voice firm. "I understand this meeting caught you by surprise, and for that, I apologize for any inconvenience."A council member from the Treasury reassured me, "You don't ha
IsobelFinally, things returned to normal. It was just another typical day, but I found myself incredibly thankful for it. My mind and soul yearned for these moments of peace in school—normalcy without worries or commotion, just peaceful studying and enjoying life with friends.“Let’s go grab some lunch with Ryle and Thea,” Lorrie exclaimed, grabbing my arm. Scott walked behind us happily. I shared in their happiness, especially since Thea had finally been welcomed into our group by Ryle and my best friends after a while.As for my bullies, Lucy and the rest of the Blondies, they were kicked out of Silver-U for their actions. They paid dearly for what happened, and even their own packs promised they would be punished accordingly.Without Lucy, Epsilon Elysium was left without a leader. The sorority decided to hold another election for a new leader. In the end, Lorrie unexpectedly won. She was hesitant at first, but eventually, she accepted the privilege.“How’s the new queen of Ep-El?
Isobel"I'll ask you again, child: Do you want to stay here with me?"It was a hard decision for me, but I knew my answer right away. It seemed like Dad understood what I wanted."Are you sure you want to give up this eternal happiness for a world that has only brought you pain and suffering?" Dad's voice echoed, showing his concern.I looked down, agreeing with Dad's point. The world I was born into was full of difficulties. Mom and I lived with shame because of something driven by love and sacrifice, their forbidden union. At Silver-U, I found some comfort among friends and even a wolf who became dear to me. But when I needed them the most, they all left, leaving me to face my problems alone. Pain and suffering seemed to be the only things that stayed with me in the world where I belonged. Despite my longing to be with Dad, his offer, though appealing, couldn't keep me here, not yet. There were things left unfinished, bonds I cherished. Maybe my idea of heaven was different—to be wi
IsobelI opened my eyes and found myself lying in the arms of an elder wolf. The old guy was smiling at me, and strangely, I felt comfortable, as though I knew him from a long time ago. Yet, I was certain we'd never met before. I tried to recall if we had crossed paths, but nothing came to mind. Still, being near him felt oddly warm, filling me with love and peace.As the mysterious wolf stood up and walked away, he beckoned for me to follow. My eyes remained fixed on him, drawn to his presence. When he spoke, his voice held a gentle command."Follow me..."And so, I did. Each step felt like a silent agreement with fate. His smile was reassuring as he guided me forward."Come here, look..."I turned my gaze to where he directed, and before us lay a breathtaking field. It was a scene of unparalleled beauty, one that I couldn't fathom existed. The elder wolf looked at me expectantly, asking a question that resonated deep within me."Do you love it?"I nodded eagerly, feeling a rush of e
IsobelI was left in shock by Kendra’s revelation. Horror coursed through me as I realized the truth. Kendra, whom I had initially seen as a kind angel sent to save me, was something far more sinister. I couldn't fathom that Kendra would stoop to such depths of cruelty. Jealousy, I realized, was a force more terrifying than I had ever imagined. I had always seen Kendra as perfect in everyone's eyes, but now, facing her dark side, I couldn't shake the terror creeping into my heart.Backing away from Kendra, I couldn't tear my eyes away from her as I pleaded, “Why? Why are you doing this to me?”Kendra smirked, her movements deliberate as she closed the distance between us. “Why? You should’ve known the answer, bitch. You took Ryle away from me. I have been with him from the start. You just came out of nowhere and suddenly, Ryle was all into you. You took my world from me.”I watched as Kendra's eyes changed, a chilling indication that she was not joking. I braced myself for what was to
IsobelI couldn't believe my eyes when I saw Kendra in such a place. She was someone I never expected to encounter here, especially after an entire year of not seeing her around school. But in that moment, as the thugs closed in on me, I was grateful for any form of rescue."I know you. You’re one of Ryle’s friends," Kendra uttered, recognition dawning on her face.Ryle’s friend clicked his tongue and retreated, leaving the thugs confused and annoyed. "What the hell are you doing, kid?" one of them demanded as Ryle’s friend made his escape. Another thug approached Kendra, suggesting, "Maybe he wanted to join the fun."The rest of the thugs cheered, their expressions filled with lust and excitement, but Kendra remained unfazed. "That’s the problem with lower-class wolves," she remarked confidently. "The ones who were completely forgotten by society. Fear has forgotten you."The leader of the thugs didn’t appreciate Kendra's boldness and confronted her. "Who the hell are you?" he demand
Ryle I panicked. It was me managing the steering wheel, trying to navigate through traffic as fast as I could. Everyone in the car wanted to get to Epsilon Elysium urgently, but for me, it was more than just a destination. Isobel was there, and I needed to save her from the torment caused by that vile she-wolf who framed her. Regret gnawed at me for not listening to her before, for losing trust in her. "Come on Ryle, I know you can go faster than this," Lorrie said, her concern evident in her voice. "Who said we're on top speed already?" I replied, pressing harder on the accelerator. We surged past other cars on the road, my driving becoming almost reckless in my desperation. Meanwhile, Scott's anger was palpable. "I never thought someone was capable of doing this vile thing. She must be punished for everything," he seethed. Thea, still crying in the backseat, chimed in, her voice thick with emotion. "That she-wolf deserves to be expelled from the school. She must be the one the e
