Isobel The atmosphere in the classroom was tense, with the rest of the class behaving strangely around me. It was evident why – Crisha and some other she-wolves were crying. These were the she-wolves who belonged to Ryle's fans. Naturally, they weren't pleased with what had transpired. In their eyes, I had seemingly stolen their only love. Ryle's confession had stirred up a whirlwind of emotions, but I couldn't find any solace in it.Despite the uneasy atmosphere, I remained seated, feeling the weight of everyone's stares and hushed whispers bearing down on me. The attention was suffocating, and I desperately wished for things to calm down swiftly.Then, I noticed the Blondies looking at me with disdain, and I gulped nervously. I didn't want a repeat of what happened at the cafeteria; losing control over my emotions could get me in trouble at home if my family found out about a fight at school. This would surely burden my Mom and I didn’t want that to happen. To avoid any commotion,
Isobel “Mind if I join you?” Kendra asked, smiling. I quickly wiped my tears and nodded as Kendra sat beside me, joining in watching the sunset. Her presence caught me off guard, leaving me uncertain how to respond. The fact that the most beautiful girl in Silver-U was sitting next to me in such a vulnerable moment left me speechless. I struggled to initiate a conversation, unsure of how to act around her. Why had Kendra approached me? Was it just a polite gesture? I couldn't shake the feeling of being out of place beside someone so elegant and refined. Unable to resist stealing glances at Kendra, I marveled at her golden hair and fair complexion. She was a vision of beauty, unlike anyone I had ever known. If only she weren't wearing the school uniform, she could easily be mistaken for a mature she-wolf. The thought saddened me, knowing that others likely saw her and Ryle as a perfect match. My sigh didn't go unnoticed by Kendra, who turned to me with concern. “Is everything al
RyleRyleI went to my classroom, whistling. At last, I confessed my feelings for Isobel in front of everyone. I felt lighter after the confession. My body felt energized, like something heavy had been lifted from my chest when I confessed. Saying everything out loud made me proud of myself. I was satisfied with how the confession turned out.As I went downstairs, the students were staring at me. They were murmuring from behind, but I didn't care. Outside the classroom, my friends were waiting. I found it odd that they were all murmuring and staring at me at the same time."What’s up, boys!" I approached them excitedly, but they didn’t match my energy. They all looked like something depressing had happened."Is the rumor true, Ryle?" one of them asked."What rumors?" I knew what was coming but went along with them."Come on, man. It’s not like you don’t know," another chimed in. "Every step you take, the whole Silver-U is watching you."One of my close friends, Draymond, came up to me
IsobelI rushed inside, feeling the wild beating of my heart. I couldn’t believe what had just happened. I went straight to my room and stayed there until night.The night was cold, but sweat formed on my forehead.“Come on! It’s not early anymore. Sleep, Isobel!”My heartbeat didn’t change. I could still feel the wild rhythm of my heart, its steady thump echoing in my chest.“Calm down, Isobel Reeve!”But opposite to what I wanted, my body became even more active. I knew there was no way I could sleep in that state. The more I wanted to forget everything that had happened between us, the more my mind was filled with thoughts about Ryle.“How dare you do this to me!”The words I said were different from what I was feeling inside. There was no hate nor loathing towards Ryle. It wasn’t only a kiss. It was my precious first kiss. And Ryle took it from me against my will. But remembering how I held Ryle’s back, I kicked violently on my bed.I felt a rush of emotions. A mix of excitement,
RyleWalking down the familiar dark path, each step brought back memories even without much light. It had been ages since I last came here, but I couldn't help feeling excited as I got closer. This place always reminds me of what I've lost.Standing in front of the grave with "Aurora Vanderberg" written on it, I greeted her as if she was right beside me. "Hey mom!! Long time no see! How have you been?" I whispered, a smile forming on my lips as I traced the letters of her name.Sitting down by her grave, I felt a sense of peace wash over me. "I know, I've been really busy lately. But I'm glad I could finally come and visit you," I confessed softly.Lying back on the grass, staring up at the twinkling stars, I couldn't help but feel a pang of longing. "Life would be so much better if you were still here, Mom. I really miss you.” Her smiling face flashed in my mind. Even though I was young when she passed, I remember her vividly. The memory of her holding me close when I was sad and s
RyleI was silent as Isobel’s name slipped from my father’s lips—a shock I never anticipated. His implication was clear, and it churned my insides. Dad rose from his seat, pacing toward the window, his gaze fixed on the outside world as he spoke.“It wouldn’t have come to this if I hadn’t been so lenient. It's on me.”Emotion surged within me, a mix of fear and defiance. Isobel had no place in our family's turmoil, and I knew my father had something brewing in his mind. Without hesitating, I spoke up, facing the most powerful man in the Silverwolf pack.“Keep her out of this,” I demanded, rising to my feet.Dad turned to me, his gaze piercing.“So, you've found some backbone to stand beside me, not just as my son but as a fellow warrior of the pack.”He studied me for a moment, his expression unreadable.“You've got the same look in your eyes as the enemies I’ve faced in battle. The look of pure bloodlust,” he noted, turning away once more to stare out the window. “Remember, Ryle. You
IsobelAs I hustled through my shift at the Wolf Cavern Cafe, mistakes kept piling up.“I’m sorry, young lady. But we didn’t ask for a glass of water.”“We need a spoon. You forgot to put a spoon on my dessert.”Each complaint weighed on me, but I apologized and rushed to fix things. As I headed to get a spoon, another customer flagged me down.“We still don’t have our drinks.”I nodded, grabbed the missing spoon, and rushed back to the counter, only to find the drinks still waiting. With a sigh, I handed them over to the impatient customer.“Sorry about that.”It was fortunate that the customer loved the drink she ordered so much that she probably forgot her anger towards me. I took a deep breath and leaned on the counter for a moment, trying to figure out what was going on inside my brain.Mrs. Potts, with her caring nature, approached me, her eyes reflecting concern.“Are you alright, sweetie?”Meeting her gaze, I managed a small smile. “I’m okay, Mrs. Potts.”She sighed. “Come on,
IsobelThe next day, my heart raced with excitement and nerves as I got ready. Meeting Ryle again brought a mix of emotions, but the thrill outweighed the jitters.Heading to our usual meeting spot, I found myself checking my phone repeatedly, just to reassure myself that I was in the right place."Where are you, jerk?" I muttered, scanning the area and checking the time. It was already 9:05, and Ryle was five minutes late. Then, I heard a car engine revving."Sorry I’m late. Get in!" Ryle called out, and I smiled as I quickly hopped into the car."Where are you taking me this time?" I asked as we drove off."Somewhere you’ve never been to," Ryle chuckled, and I felt a mix of nervousness and excitement as he drove fast, trying to impress me.Throughout the journey, a smile seemed permanently plastered on my face. As Ryle drove, I couldn’t help but wonder where he was taking me. The abundance of trees and vegetation hinted at a secluded destination."We’re almost here," he announced, a
"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
