Izzy wakes up in her bed, feeling slightly disoriented. She rubs her eyes and looks around her room, now feeling energized from the sleep.

She checks the time on her phone and sees that it’s already late in the afternoon. Panic sets in as she realizes that she has wasted most of her Sunday sleeping!

“No, no, no,” she mutters under her breath. She knows that this is the only day she has to recharge and get herself ready for another busy week at work.

As she jumps out of her bed and hurries to shower, thoughts race through her mind. “Why did I sleep so long? I had so many plans for today!”

Her anxiety grows as she thinks about all the books she wants to read, shows she wants to watch, and activities she wants to do.

When Izzy finally finishes getting ready, she rushes out of her room and heads straight for the kitchen. She quickly makes herself some coffee and takes a few sips before grabbing a piece of bread and heading back to her room.

Sitting at her desk, Izzy looks at all the tasks

    As promised, Miles did arrive in her room after two hours. They walk for over half an hour until they reach a house that is located on the outskirts of the pack territory. Izzy has never seen this house before and it looks like it hasn’t been lived in for quite some time.“What is this place?” she asks, looking at Miles with confusion.Miles unlocks the door and holds it open for Izzy to enter. “This used to be the residence of our previous beta,” he explains as they step inside. “It was given to me when I become the new beta.”The house is not big but cozy, with a living room, kitchen and two bedrooms. The furniture is old but well-maintained and there are still some personal belongings left behind.“This could be your temporary place to stay while we figure out what to do about your living situation,” Miles says, gesturing around the house. “Besides, this place cannot hold four people, anyway.”She frowns at him. “I’m going to live here alone?”

She finds it a perfect complement to the quiet stillness of her world.Every morning, she begins her run at a brisk pace while she navigates the forest. Her surroundings is alive with the sounds of howling wolves, but Isabella doesn’t feel threatened.

She cannot, she can’t possibly have a mate now, after all those years!“Ah, this is strange,” the elder whispers.‘Yes, I am strange for not wanting a mate. I know that already!’ she thinks.

She falls unconscious from the haze of her own desires! And that much desire is not just because of his good looks or his strong, muscular body. It must definitely be because he is both her Alpha and her mate!She takes a deep breath as she closes her eyes. This is bad. Really, really, a million times bad! She’s already decided. She won’t have a mate and she won’t be his Luna! No matter how good he feels in her mouth."Hey," Landon's deep voice startles her, his hand gently brushing a stray lock of hair away from her face.
