Protecting the Wolfless Enigma Chapter 87
Izariah-Over the next week and a half, we have been having all sorts of fun. We built a snowman together outside of the cabin, along with sledding. During the first few days, we put up the Christmas tree and other decorations.Overall, it has been the best vacation I have ever had. It wasn’t like I had never done things like this before; it was more than likely because I was able to experience them with Braxton. It also made it better that I was able to see the reactions he had when experiencing something for the first time.Even if I couldn’t give him much, I was at least able to give him all of that. Since arriving at the cabin, I already decided that I could look past everything and make a real go of this between us. I still haven’t told him yet, nor has he brought it up.This morning was Christmas and I planned to tell him today. We already bought Christmas presents for each other. There were also presents under the tree for all our friends and family, or anyone else we wanted to

Braxton-Seeing that she liked my first gift, I felt confident that she would like my other gifts as well. I knew she told me to keep it to only five, but I couldn’t resist the sixth one. Even getting only six was hard for me. There had been so many things that I wanted to get for her, so it was hard to choose which to get.Not that I will admit it to her, but I had to get a little help with choosing what to get for her. When I finished shopping for her, I realized that I bought a cart full. I chose each gift with her in mind, but when I had to put stuff back, I needed help to decide what to keep.An older man helped me, since he had come up to me and asked me if I was shopping for a woman. I explained that I was, but she requested that I keep it to a minimum. I also explained that I was loaded, while she wasn’t but she was also humble and didn’t accept things easily.The gift I just gave her had been something I had already been working on since I started it before my birthday.

Braxton-On the drive home, I was happy that we fixed things. To keep things low-key for us, I had to take her to a place down the street from my house, that way she could drive this back and I could get another vehicle. I was supposed to head to my pack upon returning so we said our goodbyes and she returned to the school.It didn’t take long for me to arrive at the packhouse, but it was already after dark. The moment I arrived at the house; my father was there to greet me. It wasn’t that I had a problem with my father, but the few times that we interacted, he hadn’t been warm or welcoming.“I was about to have to force you to come home if you hadn’t walked through this door right now.” My father’s gravelly voice thundered through the large foyer.“I told you that I would get back late. I decided to go on a little vacation out of state with some friends.” I shrugged as I took my coat off and hung it on the rack.“Oh? Because I heard that your friends were home for the holiday. Their

Izariah-For the next week, I barely saw Braxton. He called me a few times, letting me know it would be another day and then another. I knew he had stuff to do so it didn’t bother me, and it allowed me the time I needed to get caught up in all my classes, as well as work on a few extra credit materials.The only problem I had was when Jace would show up unannounced to check on me. The first time or two it was fine, but then it started to become annoying. I understood that Braxton was worried, but even Jace seemed annoyed.“I am not your errand boy.” I had overheard Jace saying on the phone once when he had left. “While I like knowing she is safe, I also have things I need to get done. I can’t drop everything to check on your girlfriend. If you are going to be with her, then you need to figure out a way to protect her.”I didn’t get a chance to hear much after that, nor did I bring it up. I did make a point of texting Jace on occasions to give him an update on what I was doing and wher

Izariah-The morning following getting fired, I woke up to Braxton having already left to return to help his father. All day I tried helping to find out who might have been behind me getting fired, but we came to a dead end. It was time that I just accepted that there was no ulterior motive.By Monday morning, I still hadn’t been able to get out of the funk I had been in. According to Jace, it was good because it had people talking about how I had been dumped. I didn’t want everyone to continue to believe that, but I knew I had to play my part.I managed to get through the morning without anyone causing issues for me. Using the time I had, between classes, I went to the cafeteria to get something to eat. I regretted it the moment I walked in.All eyes turned on me, but there was only one face that I was looking at. Jennifer was standing next to Braxton, and she didn’t look happy at all. One look in my direction and it was like something had changed in her.Her eyes no longer held that
Protecting the Wolfless Enigma Chapter 92
Izariah-During the next week, everything seemed to go by without any issues. It helped that Jennifer hadn’t been to school. I had also signed up for the work-study and had been approved. I will be starting my first assignment next weekend.I didn’t know where I was being assigned, but I knew it was a pack that was in the area. I knew there were a few different packs. One was Braxton’s pack, but I doubt they would send me there. There were more qualified students to go to that pack.More than likely they are sending someone with a reputable family. I was okay with any of the other packs. My main objective was to get as much experience as possible. I couldn’t wait until I could begin. A week seemed like a long time to wait.This would also give me a chance to have something to do during the weekends when Braxton was with his dad. Since I was caught up with school and no longer had a part-time job, I didn’t know what to do with my weekends. I couldn’t spend them with Millie because she

Izariah-The next day, I kept my head held high, not letting any of the rumors that were getting around get to me. They can say whatever they want about me. I was not at school to make friends or to care what they thought of me. I was here to learn.Thankfully during my first class, no one said much about what was going on with me. It helped that the Professor didn’t take too kindly to idle chit-chat when he was teaching. Either that or the students were more serious about learning than they were about the gossip around the school.I have to say that my first class seemed to be the only time I didn’t have any issues. Granted I have received a few stares, but for the most part, they left me alone. When class was over, my professor asked me to stay behind.“I know you weren’t planning on starting your work-study until this weekend, but the pack doctor that you are assigned to asked if you would be willing to start tomorrow?” He asked when the last student left, and we were in the classr

Braxton-Seeing her wearing the same uniform that was worn by the staff at the pack hospital, it slowly registered that she was being stationed in my pack. Instantly my spine stiffened at the idea of her working anywhere near my mother. Knowing she probably had spies around, I stepped forward and ushered Izariah back into the locker room.Before closing the door and locking it, I checked to make sure no one saw us enter together. When I was sure that no one saw, I locked and then deadbolted the door. Turning to Izariah, all thoughts of rationality fled.This has been the first time we have been able to be alone in a while. Pulling her toward me, I wrapped my arms around her and hugged her. Nuzzling her neck, I felt my wolf surge forward, wanting to claim her.“I have missed you.” I whispered, ignoring the urgency I felt from my wolf.“Is that why you are here?” She asked, sounding as if she were confused.“Do you not know what pack you are in right now?” I asked, pulling away from her

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
