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
IsobelIt had been a week since Ryle and I shared that sweet moment at the lake. I couldn't wrap my head around the decision I had made. I knew it was complicated, and I refused to delve into that official label as even I was unsure of what I should do next. This was my first experience with something like this, and I was just not sure how to navigate it.I didn't want to rush into anything or make things more serious than they needed to be. I wanted to take my time and understand that feeling better. Plus, I couldn't forget the promise I had made to my dear mother. Whoever I introduced to her was someone I intended to spend my life with—a commitment I took very seriously, despite my youth."Good morning, Ryle!""Must be nice having a girl, right?"It was strange hearing Ryle talk about it so casually. I guessed I still had a lot to figure out about all of this.“Yeah. I’m jealous of Isobel. Ryle’s world only revolves around her now.” Ryle was all smiles, basking in the attention and
Lycan Sonic, the hippest club in Silverwolf.As Thea and I stepped inside, I felt like a huge wave of bright lights and booming music hit us. It was so loud and flashy, I could hardly think straight.The club was like a crazy maze, with swirling colors everywhere and music thumping so hard. The lights kept flickering, making shadows move on the walls. The air was thick with the scent of sweat and perfume, mingling with the aroma of alcohol."Whoa," I murmured, eyes wide.Thea grinned at my reaction. "Isn't this amazing, couz? Come on, it's gonna be so much fun!" She practically dragged me forward, and I couldn’t help but chuckle at her enthusiasm.Inside the club, it was buzzing with life. People were dancing to the music, and laughter filled the air. Thea took me to the bar, looking totally sure of herself as she ordered a margarita."What about you, couz?" she said, giving me a little nudge.I looked at the drinks and decided to play it safe. "Just orange juice for me, thanks," I sa
IsobelAs I slowly woke up, my head throbbed, and I felt completely disoriented. The room was so bright that it took me a moment to understand where I was. The walls were painted a serene shade of sky blue, adorned with minimalist artwork that added a touch of elegance to the space.I was immediately engulfed by a wave of dizziness and weakness as I attempted to sit up. The bed beneath me felt plush and inviting, its crisp white linens providing a stark contrast to the muted tones of the room.Under the white blanket, I suddenly realized I was completely naked. Panic flooded through me as I struggled to remember how I had ended up there, without any clothes and all by myself. It felt like a heavy weight pressing down on me, making it hard to breathe. The room seemed to close in on me, as if it were shrinking, and I couldn't shake off the feeling of fear and confusion.Bits and pieces of last night started to come back to me: the flashing lights of Lycan Sonic, the sound of laughter, t
IsobelAs I stepped out of the cab, my heart raced with nerves at the sight of Ryle. Memories of waking up in a stranger's bed, naked and disoriented, haunted me, leaving me feeling uneasy."Hey, Isobel!" Ryle greeted me with a bright smile as I approached. "Did you have a blast last night at the club?"I returned his smile, though it felt strained. "Uh, yeah, it was... interesting," I replied, my voice betraying a hint of uncertainty.Ryle's smile widened. "That's great to hear! You're getting the hang of it. We should hit up some more clubs sometime. I know a few good ones in the area."I hesitated, the memory of the guy from the club sending a shiver down my spine. "Thanks, Ryle, but I think I'm good for now," I said, trying to sound casual despite the unease creeping into my tone.Just then, Ryle's phone rang. With a quick glance at the caller ID, he sighed and answered. I knew it was his uncle by the way his expression softened as he spoke into the phone."I need to go," Ryle sai
IsobelI was utterly shocked, my heart racing as I stared at the photo in disbelief. How could this be happening?The room depicted was undeniably familiar, every detail etched in my memory. It was where I had woken up just yesterday, and beside me was a man I couldn’t forget, lying on the bed. The same man who had been nothing but a jerk at the bar.Ryle's smirk only deepened, his chuckle cutting through the tense air. “Do you expect me to believe a photo which could easily be manipulated nowadays? Come on!”The knot in my stomach tightened as Ryle's words sank in, his disbelief adding to my mounting nervousness. I struggled to find my voice, feeling the weight of their skepticism pressing down on me.Lucy, arms crossed, joined in, her smirk mirroring Ryle's. “Why don’t you ask your girlfriend if the photo is authentic or not?”Her words felt like a punch to the gut, and the eyes of the surrounding students bore into me. Their silent judgment intensified my growing unease. I tried to
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
"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
