Protecting the Wolfless Enigma Chapter 38
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

Izariah-“What are the three favors?” I asked.My shoulders slumped as I accepted defeat. I didn’t know what kind of favors he had in mind, but I knew I wasn’t going to like them. I couldn’t seem to figure him out, no matter how hard I tried.“First. For the rest of the time, we are here, you are my girlfriend. This means that I get to pay for everything, and you can’t complain. Also, if I want to hold your hand, you will let me. You will play the role of my girlfriend.”I knew I wasn’t going to like it, but it didn’t sound terrible. “Fine. What are the other two favors?”“I never said that I was going to collect all three favors in one day.” He flashed me a smile that for the oddest reason, made me weak in the knees.Inwardly I groaned because I hated not knowing what he was going to ask of me. There wasn’t much I could do about it, since he seemed set on holding the other two favors. True to his words, he grabbed my hand and led me away from the game.Hand in hand, we walked through

Izariah-Friday morning wasn’t any better, but at least it was the weekend. I just had to make it through my classes today. That was easier said than done because all I could do was think about what happened with Braxton. When lunchtime rolled around, I was sitting with Millie in the cafeteria, but I was spacing out.“Izariah!” Millie yelled, bringing my attention to her.“Yes?”“Is everything okay? You haven’t been acting your usual self since you came to the room last night. Did something happen?” She looked genuinely concerned.We have become the best of friends, although we haven’t spent a lot of time together. I have been attending this school for nearly two weeks and it feels like I haven’t been able to catch a break. Thinking she could help with my issue; I gave her the scoop on everything that has happened since meeting Braxton and his friends.“That is a lot. I can’t say I know any of them personally, but I don’t think Braxton is right for you. He is so hot and cold with you
Protecting the Wolfless Enigma Chapter 43
Izariah-Racking my brain, I tried to remember what happened last night. After telling the girls at the party a bit about my life and how I met Braxton, I couldn't remember much after that. Flashes of the girls talking and laughing and me accepting another drink from Jennifer was all I was getting in my head.The more I thought about it, the more my head felt as if it were going to explode. Looking at my phone, I started scrolling through it to see if I had some sort of clue on my phone. It was weird because almost everything had been deleted. I vaguely remember getting a text from Braxton last night but for whatever reason, our chat logs weren't there.Scratching my head, I kept searching for anything that might help. The more I looked, I noticed a lot more was deleted from my phone. I don't even have a single picture. That bothered me because I had taken a few photos of Braxton and me at the amusement park and when we were on the island.It was like every trace of Braxton had been d

Braxton- “Could it be possible that she was set up?” Sebastian asked once we were all gathered in front of the fireplace, in the living room. “You saw them. The photos were very convincing.” I argued, wishing the matter could just be dropped. “We also know better than anyone that a photo can be deceiving as well.” Lex put his two-cents in. “Whose side are you on? Why don’t you both leave.” I yelled and stormed off. Going to my room, I threw myself face-first on my bed. Letting out a frustrated yell, I rolled over and took my phone out of my pocket. I wasn’t looking for anything, but when I saw I had a notification on my phone regarding the security cameras, I opened the app. It was a camera on my front porch. I was about to skip the feed when I noticed a laptop on the ground. I didn’t get a chance to read the letters on the screen, because Sebastian and Lex chose that moment to walk outside. Sebastian bent over to pick up the laptop and something else on the ground next to it.

Braxton- “Calm down, we still don’t know much about what happened, but she left her laptop and phone outside your house. Lex and I have been working on it and it is apparent that both have been tampered with. We are working on retrieving the deleted items, but it will take a while.” Sebastian spoke. “We need to find her. Something feels off right now. I shouldn’t have been so short-sighted.” “I will give Jace a call…” Lex said, but I quickly interrupted him. “No. Leave him out of this.” I knew that if we involved him, he would once again be in the middle of things between Izariah and me. If I had any chance of correcting my mistake, I needed him to stay out of it. There was too much going on right now and I was just figuring out what I felt for her. This ordeal was a setback for us, but I wasn’t ready to give up yet. If I had to drive around all night, I was going to until I found her. I needed her to understand that I was upset but I was going to stick by her until the end. If

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
