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

Braxton- “How is she doing?” Lex asked when I opened the door for them a few hours later. “Still sick, but I think she will be fine. She is asleep right now. Did you find anything out?” I directed my question at Sebastian, who had brought Izariah’s phone and laptop with him. He didn’t answer until we were sitting in the room I used as a study. I didn’t want everyone to know what was going on, which is why I chose one of the few rooms that were one hundred percent soundproof. “I did contact the guy in the photo, and he will arrive any minute. As far as everything on the laptop and phone goes, I managed to get everything back the way it was. The pictures were taken with her phone and the article was uploaded onto her laptop. When I traced the IP address on the article to see when and where it was uploaded, it was early Sunday morning.” Sebastian explained and then opened the laptop to show me what he was talking about. “In other words, we are at a dead end?” I asked, feeling frustr

Izariah-I wasn’t sure what he was trying to ask at the moment, because my head was a little foggy. It took me a second to realize that he was practically naked in the same bed as me. At the time it hadn’t bothered me because I had been sick, and I was happy that he wasn’t turning away from me any longer.A blush crept up my neck, to my cheeks, causing them to feel warm. Looking at him now, I saw him in a new light. It was kind of like the way I used to look at Jace, but this was different. When had I started looking at Braxton as if he were someone, I could see a future with?It must be from being sick, why else would I be interested in someone who has done nothing but caused me problems? Okay, so perhaps it wasn’t all bad. We have had times when we got along great. After I got out of the hospital and at the amusement park.Was it possible that I was the one who was causing issues where there weren’t any? Perhaps I was thinking too much. I already knew that I had the wrong impression

Izariah-If it weren’t for the urge to use the restroom, I would have laid in bed and watched Braxton sleep. Careful not to wake him, I slipped out of bed and tiptoed to the bathroom. One look at my reflection and I cringed.Lifting my left arm, I turned my head a little so I could sniff my armpit. I regretted it immediately. Even though I didn’t want to wake Braxton up, I also didn’t want to get near him smelling the way I did. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t great either.Before using the bathroom, I turned on the water to warm it up. I decided to take a bath instead of a shower, that way I could limit the noise I was making. Once I had the tub set up to fill it up, I used the toilet.I didn’t flush it when I was done, since I didn’t want to mess with the temperature of the water that was filling the tub. While I waited, I looked around the bathroom to see if there was anything I could use to get clean, instead of smelling like a guy. I didn’t find anything, so I took the soap out of t

Izariah-I moved forward to stop Braxton from punching Jace again, but Jace held up his hand to stop me. When Braxton landed another blow to Jace’s face, I winced. Looking at Jace, I could see the blood running down his face, from his nose.“Is that all you got?” Jace mocked as if he was enjoying this.He was smiling and I saw blood covering his teeth. What the heck was wrong with these guys? I wanted to stop Braxton or say something to get him to stop, but every time I opened my mouth to say something Jace just glanced at me and shook his head.“You know damn well I like her, and you just have to come in and ruin everything. You have everything that you could want, so why must you have her too? Isn’t Rachel enough for you?” Braxton sounded extremely pissed by the way he was screaming at Jace. I could even see the veins in his neck protruding.“If you think she is easily swayed by me, then you never had her and you never will.” Jace chuckled as he lifted his chin to prepare for anothe

Izariah-Over the next week and a half, Braxton and I spent a lot of time together. Well, not a lot but more than we used to. He would walk me to and from class, eat lunch with me and he would drive me to and from work.At first, we had a difficult time getting over the awkwardness between us, but by the third day, we were talking like we were really friends. I learned a lot about him during that time. I tried getting him to talk to me about his past and his family, but he would clam up every time I brought it up.I found out he had twenty-seven cars, which I mentioned was too many for a single person to have. That didn’t include the five motorcycles, three boats, and one helicopter. Then there were the ones his family owned that he had access to.The more I got to know him, the less I felt as if I could ever fit in his world. I did realize that I really did like him, possibly even love him, but I felt like it was more infatuation than anything. Since I admitted to liking him, he has

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
