Braxton-“She is back.” Sebastian said as soon as they walked into the clubhouse.For the last few hours since returning, I have been sitting here going stir-crazy. I wasn’t sure what to do and I was afraid to leave the clubhouse with the chance of running into Izariah. I can’t seem to get her out of my head, no matter what I try.“What do you mean she is back?” I asked, looking from him to Jace who looked as if he had just seen a ghost.“Who do you think?” Lex said, joining in as he came in the door from behind them.My first thought went to Izariah because I was sure it was about time for her to get off work. That and she was the only female I had on my mind right now. I didn’t understand why Jace would look as if he saw a ghost if it was Izariah though.“Jace’s love interest.” Lex laughed, shoving Jace in the arm playfully.My lips curved into a smile at the idea of having Rachel back. As long as she was back then Jace would leave Izariah alone and then Izariah could see that she h

Izariah-When I arrived at the party the next day, I felt completely out of place. I hadn’t seen Jace yet and I kept getting stares from everyone else. The only reason I even decided to come here was that I was told that Jace wanted me to come.“Why is she here?” I heard someone ask, but I didn’t look to see who said it.“Maybe she is here as the maid or to serve us. That is the only thing that would make sense.” Another person said with a snicker.I wanted to turn around and leave, only because I had been under the impression that this would only be a small gathering. It wasn’t like he specified, so it was my fault for not thinking that a party to them was nothing compared to the parties I have been to. There had to be at least three hundred or more.The house was flooded and so was the front and back yard. That was saying a lot since this house was humongous. I could fit my entire pack inside this house and still have room for the neighboring pack.“I didn’t think you would make it.

Izariah-“I think this will look beautiful on you.” Rachel held up a light blue dress with a glittery mesh overlay. “It will bring out your eyes more.”I wasn’t sure if it was something I should wear, only because it looked like it cost thousands of dollars. In all my years, I have never owned anything or worn anything remotely that expensive. I was worried that if I did wear it that I would end up ruining it.On the verge of turning down the dress, I was given no chance to do so when she shoved the dress into my hands and started shoving me to the bathroom. Knowing I didn’t have a chance of getting out of this, I put the dress on. Stepping out of the bathroom when I was done, I felt awkward in the dress.“See! Just as I suspected, you look stunning.” Rachel spoke with a level of excitement that made me feel a little better.Walking over to the mirror hanging from the back of the bedroom door, I looked over myself. I looked like a completely different person. Rachel did have a point a

Braxton-When the door opened, I lazily looked up to see who entered. It was just Rachel, so I looked back at the pool table, where it was my turn to shoot the ball. I had already figured out which ball I was going to try to get in the pocket, so all I had to do was line up my shot.Leaning over more, I steadied the hand that I was using to guide the stick. Bringing my eye level down, I took my aim. Just as I was about to hit the ball Lex let out a slow whistle, I once again glanced up.What I saw shocked me, and I ended up jerking my hand that was holding the base of the stick. Rachel had stepped aside, and Izariah was standing in the doorway, looking gorgeous. If I had known she was capable of looking this good, I would have done things differently.A single word raced through my mind on repeat, and I couldn’t ignore it. Mine. It wasn’t even my voice that I was hearing, it sounded more like a wolf, if wolves could talk. I wouldn’t even say the word had been spoken, it was more like

Izariah-I was surprised that Braxton didn’t return, although I was a little curious as to why. This was his party, and it was clear that he had intended to make me suffer again today. For him to disappear and not return with Rachel was a little unsettling.I tried not to let it bother me as I hung out with Rachel, Jace, Lex, and Sebastian. The more I spend just talking and joking around, I found out that they all had their own unique personality. It was what made them who they were.Sebastian was the serious and quiet type, while Lex was the outgoing and flirtatious type. Jace was a little more difficult to figure out, but I did know he had a big heart, but he was also very guarded. It was like nothing could get to him, at least not that he allowed others to see.Rachel on the other hand was very sociable, smart, kind, and seemed like she was always happy. An hour had passed since she returned to the room with us, without Braxton, and in that time, I found a new friend. Not in the, w

Izariah- After Rachel said her father wanted her to leave, Jace took it off speakerphone and held the phone to his ear. I was curious about what she was saying, but since I didn’t have supernatural hearing, I couldn’t eavesdrop. Only getting a few short words from what Jace was saying, I couldn’t really follow along. During the call, I could see his jaw muscles tighten and relax repeatedly. It didn’t take much to figure out that he wasn’t happy with what he was hearing. My heart sank to my stomach when he got off the phone because I knew I was going to need to let him go. It wasn’t because I had feelings for him, but it was because I viewed him as a friend. “You love her, don’t you?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. I didn’t get a response from him right away, but a few moments later he nodded his head. “As much as I wish I didn’t, I do. I admit I do feel something for you, but I have never stopped loving her. The idea of her leaving again doesn’t sit well with me. I had

Braxton-For the breakfast portion of things, we had an enjoyable time. There were plenty of laughs and jokes, but the moment we arrived at the airport, everyone was subdued, especially Izariah. Earlier she had been enjoying herself from what I could tell, including with me. The second we stopped at the airport though, her entire demeanor changed.Jace leaving was better than anything I could have planned. Granted I was going to miss my best friend but now I would have the chance to have him out of the picture so I could get closer to Izariah. Everything has been messed up lately, but after forgetting what happened last night, I woke up with a new game plan.I was going to get her to warm up to being my friend and after that, I would try getting her to agree to become my girlfriend. At most I remembered what Rachel told me, but other stuff was blurry. Thinking about it this morning, I needed to stop being childish when pursuing Izariah.I was still confused about what I wanted, yet I

Izariah-Who would have thought that the one I hated the most would be the very one I needed to keep myself from thinking about Jace and Rachel leaving? We barely made it past the gate and already he amused me. A mother was pushing her young child in a stroller and the kid reached out and grabbed Braxton’s hand.I thought it was adorable, but Braxton reacted quickly by yanking his hand from the child’s and then quickly stepping around me, using me as a shield. He did say that he has never been to an amusement park, but I believed it was more than that. If I had to guess, he has never been somewhere where ordinary people go.“Is he okay?” The mother asked me as she eyed Braxton with concern.“Don’t mind him, he isn’t very good around others.” I meant that in every way possible, and I was sure that Braxton got my hidden meaning based on the way he scoffed at me.The mother and child lingered, as if the mother were trying to solve a mystery. After a bit, she shrugged her shoulders and wa

Three Years Later Izariah- “Will you hurry up already? You don’t want to be late to your own graduation!” Rachel, my new best friend and Jace’s mate yelled from the front door of the house that I lived in with Braxton. After we officially moved to the pack, we stayed in the packhouse with his father for a bit. On the day of Braxton’s graduation, which had been two years ago, he surprised me with the keys to our own house. He explained that he hadn’t wanted to live with his father or in a house that had too many bad memories. “I am coming!” I yelled from the bathroom, where I was putting the finishing touches on my hair. As I inspected my reflection, I was reminded of the first day that I met Braxton. That morning I had been running late to class and my old friend and roommate had yelled at me to hurry. I had just barely made it in time to take my finals that day. I guess no matter how many things have changed from then until now, there were still some things that were never goin

Braxton- When we arrived at the lake, where her childhood best friend died, I wasn’t sure what I could do for her. I could sense she was hurting inside, as she experienced being back here. We were all standing in a group, near the lake, no one saying a word. When she started walking forward, I decided that this was something she was going to need to face on her own. Putting my arms out, I stopped the others from following her. If she looked back then I would join her, but her gaze remained on the center of the lake. “Just wait. If she needs us then we will be there for her, but I think the best thing for her is to support her from back here.” I explained. “Do you think that it will work? What if she is never able to shift?” Jace asked. “Then I will make sure I am always by her side to protect her.” I said with certainty. “Even without a wolf, I believe she is stronger than any of us realize.” Sebastian spoke in a faraway tone that made me glance at him. His eyes were focused on

Izariah- Taking a deep breath, I gathered my courage as I opened the car door. I barely had time to close the door before I rushed by Gwenna. She wrapped her arms around me and hugged me tightly. “I knew the moment I met you that we had a connection. I never would have suspected it is because you are my sister!” She exclaimed, speaking a little too loud in my ear for my liking. I was a little confused about how she already knew that I was her sister when I hadn’t spoken a word yet. Since I had been looking forward to this moment as well, I wrapped my arms around her and hugged her just as tight. Between her and the Alpha King, she was the one that I had been the most nervous about seeing. Meeting my biological father was scary, but it wasn’t like I needed a new father, as I already had one that I absolutely adored. Having a sister, on the other hand, was something I have always dreamed of. Seeing that she was just as thrilled with the idea, I relaxed. Not wanting to break the mom

Izariah- “Chill out, I am Millie’s boyfriend.” The man spoke in a tone that indicated that he didn’t care who I was or why I was here. “Don’t lie to me. Tell me who you are, now!” I demanded. With everything that was going on, he was the least of my problems. I have already dealt with enough, so I didn’t have time to deal with a little punk too. He was probably a few years older than me, and I could sense he was an Alpha, which didn’t explain why he was in my room. “I am not lying. If you don’t believe me, you can ask her yourself. She just left to get some ice cream, but she should be back any minute.” He said with a yawn as he leaned back and went back to playing a game on his phone like he had been doing when I entered. Not sure what to do at this moment, I shifted my weight from one foot to the other. He seemed harmless, but I still didn’t believe him. I knew Millie had a crush on Sebastian, so why was this dude claiming to be her boyfriend? Just then Sebastian barged into t

Izariah- The moment we drove through the gate that surrounded the territory; I was completely speechless. Eric, who had been driving the car, had to slow down to a crawl, as members of the pack surrounded us. It took me a moment to understand that they were all celebrating. “What is going on?” I asked, not sure what the reason was for all of this. “Two things. They are welcoming their future Luna and celebrating that their old Luna is no longer here.” Braxton answered. “Do they know it is me?” I asked. I didn’t need to ask why they were celebrating Tabitha being gone, as I am sure many hadn’t liked her. There were only a select few that knew what I was though. As far as everyone else was concerned, I was still a wolfless Omega that worked with the pack doctor. Granted, no one at the pack had cared or treated me terribly over it. There had been one group of teenage girls that had made a comment about it, but it hadn’t escalated. Braxton had been with me when I heard it and he had

Izariah- “I will grant you something, but it won’t be to find another mate. If I have learned anything, is that I don’t make mistakes twice. You have shown me that you are undeserving of love, for you don’t know the meaning of love.” As my mother speaks, she walks closer to Tabitha. “I did love them!” Tabitha yells, but my mother is unfazed by her outburst. “The fact that you think that is love, shows me that I can’t allow you to love another soul. It would be wrong of me to torment anyone with the kind of love that you have to offer. No. Instead of that, I will give you something else.” My mother places her fingers against her chin and taps them a few times, appearing to be deep in thought. “What are you going to do? I promise I won’t cause anyone any more trouble if you just let me go.” By now Tabitha looked truly scared. “And what? Allow you to roam free and give you the chance to not repent for your actions? Even if I allow you to go free, you still won’t learn anything.” She

Braxton- Seeing my father enter the room, I was a little confused about why he was here. My eyes moved to Izariah, who didn’t seem surprised at all. Moving my attention back to him, I hoped that he was here to help and not to make things worse. “My love, what are you doing here?” My mother asked innocently. “Save it. I heard everything just now.” My father growled as he stomped toward her. “You don’t understand, it isn’t like that.” The panic in my mother’s voice revealed that if there was one person in this world, she both loved and feared, it was my father. My earlier assumption that she was in control of their relationship was wrong. Now that I thought about it, it had simply been my father giving in to my mother because of his love for her. I completely understood because I would do the same for Iza. Not that I would have to worry about that, because I doubted there was a single bad cell in her body. It was also apparent that my father hadn’t known about the things my mother

Izariah- “I was wrong, I won’t do it again. Please give me another chance. If I had known she was the daughter of the Moon Goddess, I wouldn’t have tried to break them up.” Braxton’s mother pleaded with my mother. “Do you honestly believe that I care? It shouldn’t matter who someone is. All that matters is that they love each other. I chose your son for my daughter, not because of who his family is or how much money he came from. I did it because I knew they would be good for each other. If we only based someone’s standing on if they were good enough, then do you think I would allow my daughter to be with someone when his mother is so awful? Despite your beliefs, I don’t think someone’s past will define who they are.” “Then you can understand that I was only doing what I thought was best for my son. I love him and I want him to succeed in life.” Luna Tabitha seemed to have given up pleading with the Moon Goddess, as she met her gaze with unwavering certainty. “Best for him?” My bi

Izariah- Unfiltered strength flowed through me, not only mine but Braxton’s as well. Had I known that having Braxton mark me would awaken my wolf, I would have let him do it sooner. Not only had I unlocked my Goddess abilities, but I have a wolf. I still had a bit to go before I could fully be who I was meant to be, but right now none of that mattered. I would figure it out in time and once I could let go of my fear of water, I knew I would be able to shift into my wolf. My birth mother had been right, but now I knew it. Full of confidence and brimming with untapped power, I held Braxton’s hand in mine as I stepped around him. The look of shock and then anger that passed over his mother’s face was everything I had hoped for and more. When she came in and assumed that he had marked Gwenna, I couldn’t wait to prove her wrong. No longer did I fear her. Compared to me, she was nothing more than a power-hungry werewolf that couldn’t hurt me or Braxton any longer. Her threats were meani
