I escort Leonidas to the lorry that transported him here. He came in hiding, he does not want any one to find out that he came here indeed. “Thank you once again for reaching out to me with the little information you got. It has really light up my hope in finding my mate.” I tell him and he smiles.“I am glad that I can be of help to you. If you need any more of my services, just alert me and I will be there to help you in any way that I can.” He says.“Sure thing. Be careful, no one from their side has to know that you came here. You have to play smart so that you will not be suspected by them. And if there are is any way that you can convince Theda to be on our side, please do it. I do not want her to be affected when this war starts, considering that she is Isabel’s twin sister.” I inform him.The best thing for Theda to do is to be on our side, that is the only thing that can save her from being crumpled on when the war begins. The same would have applied for Wilford but I know t
I enter my room and take a refreshing shower, Serafina and the others will handle our new friend by tying him up and making sure that he can not escape our grasp. The first stage of the plan has gone well , I am only hoping that the guy will be able to speak up in time. I don’t really want to torture him, my mind is only set in finding out what I want and getting it. If this man decides to fool around or delay me, I might murder him if i run out of patienceSo he better play along and give me what u want. I step out of the shower and dress up, I have to look good in front of my new friend, is that not? I leave my room and get blocked by Noemi at the staircase. Her face is looking outraged and I can tell that she has been crying too.“What do you want now, woman?” I grunt at her flushed face.“Jared, why are you treating me like this? We have not even consummated our marriage night ...”“Is that why you blocked me on my way to something more important?” I interrupt her with a sarcasti
“Henry!” I call him as I follow him back to the pack house.He stops and slips his hands inside his pockets coolly. His eyes are bloodshot red, maybe from the vodka or he has been crying lately- I don’t know which but I know that I definitely need to talk to him.“Henry, I want to talk to you.” I say and he nods.“Yes, you should want to talk to me and I am all ears.” He says.“I know that I was acting like a jerk back then and getting into a fight with you was actually senseless but I want to apologize for it. We are brothers, okay? And I know that you are worried about Isabel the same way that I am worried about her too. We both care for her because she is Someone precious to us.” I tell him.“She is my sister and your mate too. At least I made an effort in trying to find her unlike you that did nothing but sit back and delay everything.” He scoffs and rubs his jaw.“I have to admit that I was pretty scared back then, I was scared that Newton might not talk and I was scared that I m
**Isabel**I pace around my room, my hands are resting on my waist and my thoughts are deep. As I walk to and fro, I stop at intervals to nestle on a thought that flashes across my mind. My mind is fumbled - a total mess actually and I’m not sure if I am making a formidable plan or not. My stomach grumbles and I take my seat - I don’t know why breakfast this morning is being served late. After Leonidas came and left, Wilford have granted me a lot freedom around the house and I have used that freedom well.The door opens and finally, Tiffany comes in with the tray of breakfast. I almost jump on her as she sets the food on the table, she scoops out my servings and cools the food before calling me to eat.“Why was breakfast served late, I am starving since six o’clock.” I groan before eating my food.“I’m sorry, Isabel. We ran out of food stuffs so someone had to run the errand. They also had a delay, I guess but that does not matter now. The food stuffs are here and you can eat as much
The house have become more quiet and comfortable to stay in. I don’t quite feel the urge to run away or try to find a new route to escape even when I am left all alone, I will rather sit in the library all day long and read different kinds of classic books.When Tiffany is at home and is less busy, we will sit and talk and most at times, play games and throw a mini pastry for ourselves. It was cool until one day, Wilford dropped a bombshell to me while we are having breakfast.“I have informed my family about us and our hideout. They did not say anything but Theda promised to pay us some visit today and check this place out.” He says and I almost drop my spoon on the floor.“Are you sure that they are willing to help us to secure a safer place for all of us? I mean, you know how much that your family hates me right now.” I say.“Even if they hate you, they will have no other choice than to help you out because we are all family and there is no changing to that. And if they decide to t
Leonidas packs up his equipments and nods his head.“The baby is fine, just avoid doing any more stressful things, okay?” I nod, preferring to remain silent. When Leonidas tries to leave, I hold his hands back. My nervousness is now kicking in and I am afraid of what the outcome will be.“What will Jared do? You said that he knows that I am pregnant and that is coming for me? And I am asking you what will Jared do when he comes here?” Leonidas seems to think about for awhile. “Knowing how formidable the alpha is , he will wage war on the Moon family. He will remove every obstacle in his path until he finds you and bring you home.”I let go of him, my palms are now sweaty and sticky. I keep on gulping continuously and I know that my fear is about to happen, Jared will raid this place and kill everyone. He will take me captive and turn me into his breeder.“Tell him not to come for me, please? I don’t want him to see me ever again, we are relocating from this location.” The last part
“Sister!” Theda calls me and I smile at her.“Hey, I thought that you would have left by now. “ I say to her.“She needs more exposure and more importantly, she needs to be taken to the hospital.” I overhear Leonidas say to Wilford.I stop in my tracks and stare at the both of them.“Who needs to be taken to the hospital?” I ask curiously.Wilford clears his throat and looks at me nervously. “Leonidas was saying here that there are some complications that he noticed in you ...”“But he told me earlier that I am fine and I only need to rest more.” I interrupt him with a curious look on my face.“Yes, he said that because he did not want you to be worried about your baby but since you have practically overheard this conversation, I don’t think it is a secret to hide from you anymore. You need to be taken to the hospital and be looked after.” Wilford says.I shake my head in disagreement. “That is a blatant lie. I am not going to any hospital and I will not leave this house, I don’t care
**Jared**The clouds turn dark as the armies march towards the boundaries of the packs. It feels overwhelming to be taking this fight to a whole new level - and I can even smell the victory to be near. The feeling that I will be reconciling with my family soon washes over me and I smile. Looking around my well trained warriors with the zeal to bring back victory written boldly on their faces. We shall meet our other allies - the armies of the seven packs and then we shall camp at the open field in the boundaries. When night falls, we shall execute our first plan which is to attack the old layout of Edward Moon.Of course, Newton is with us for the operation. After tonight’s attack, he will lead us to Wilford’s lair tomorrow and we shall finish the war there. Thereafter, I shall bring Isabel and our baby back to my pack. “The journey seems to be never ending.” Serafina mutters.I nod in agreement. We are still on our way to the boundaries and it seems like we are never reaching the l
THREE MONTHS LATER: EPILOGUE “Wakey wakey, mommy!” Some scream right through my ears. I stir in my bed and groan. “Leave me be, Somi. I'm not done sleeping.” “But it's your wedding, mom. Do you prefer to sleep throughout your wedding day?”I sit up immediately I hear that, I have forgotten that today is my wedding day. I scramble off my bed and tie my robe, then I head down to the kitchen with Somi giggling beside me.“Isabel honey, you look disoriented this morning.” Stephanie gasps and I shrug.“Somi caused it, what did I miss?” “The wedding gown designer, the makeup artist, and the hair stylist,” Myra replies.“This will be the worst wedding ever,” Jayne says.“Thanks, Jayne.” I roll my eyes and go to sit on the counter.“This kitchen looks yummy,” Somi says and Stephanie hands her some baked bread.“We made them especially for your mom, now Isabel, go back to your room and freshen up. We’ll send the list of people that Myra mentioned to help you get dressed, we have less than
Sorana.I never imagined that you will call for me again because you shut me out for a long. She replies.Her voice sounds like she has been expecting me to talk with her since I know that this is what she wants. That must be the reason why she reached out to Somi instead and told her the truth about everything.I couldn’t hold it back after I heard from my daughter that you’ve been speaking to her. I say.Trust me, Isabel. It’s not some garbage shit that I’ve been feeding her, it’s the truth about herself and she has grown to accept it.But there’s nothing I can do about it now. Jared doesn’t even want to remember the memories he shared with me any longer. He feels that it’s safer that way. I remind her of the conversation I had with Jared earlier.Listen to me, Jared can’t remember because there’s nothing that has triggered him to remember. You have to make that happen- you have to trigger him to remember something. Sorana pleads with me.Where do I start? I ask her.The auction- to
“Isabel, are you okay? You look drained.” Alec says to me.“Today was stressful I guess.” I reply.He offers me a cup of water and I gulp it down immediately. He sits opposite me in the living room and looks at me intently.“What?” I snap at him.“Something must have happened today, Isabel. You look flushed and compliments to the man that dropped you off. I thought you mentioned something about trekking home?” “Yeah I did but Jared shows up out of the blue and now I’ll have to find a way to make him regain his memories so that we could go back home with Somi.” I explain to him.Alec’s mouth drops open as he looks at me in shock, I’m not sure whether he’s mad or just surprised at what I just said. “Say something, Alec.” I urge him.His silence is actually disturbing to me. I want to know what his opinions are on this issue.“I don’t know what to say. Just do what makes you happy, Isabel.” He says before leaving me to my own thoughts.I go to Somi’s room to check up on her, she is alr
We know all that it’s hard to crack a hard shell but I’m hellbent in cracking Freya Scott’s shell, the woman is filled with lies especially with things that concern Jared. Only she knows what she must have done to him to make him forget me and he can’t even remember me. “So did the partnership go well?” Freya asks.“Yes, we even agreed to organize an auction event which I’m sure that you’ll be in attendance.” Jane smirks and Freya smiles.“We’ll be looking forward to seeing you there especially your husband.” Jane says and Freya eyes her peculiarly.“Why are you so much concerned about my husband??” Smart woman - she must have presumed where this topic might be leading to. Jane and I exchange glances and I nod at her to continue. We can’t go back or fumble when we’ve reached this far to even be engaged in a conversation with Freya.“You see, Freya. The society is very much aware that you are not officially married to your husband but they’ll never say it to your face. We’ve heard th
Everyone mutters a greeting while my lips continue to tremble, he is standing right here and in front of me. The man that I have been separated with for seven years - the man that I had inflicted so much regrettable pains on, I never dreamed of meeting him again - not in this way at least. And now I hear from him that he has a wife already, thinking about it j hope ust adds to my already pounding headache.He takes his seat beside Jane and the meeting continues. I pretend to go through the documents in front of me to at least keep myself busy and avoid staring at his face.“And to continue with meeting, Miss moon was mentioning something about organizing an auction event to help boost our sales. Can you throw more light on this idea , Isabel?” Jane says and I jerk up.My eyes meet with Jared’s and the feeling of deja vu overwhelms both of us, I can feel it gushing and our hearts are racing. I can feel the mate bond reaching out to him - trying to connect to him but when it gets to his
We all know that fate is inevitable, whatever that is meant to be is meant to be. All my life, I have never imagined that this moment will come to be. A moment when my heart will be racing and beating faster than normal, a moment when my heart will skip in his presence or at his touch. That precious moment is in fact what I have been dreading for seven good years but like I said before - fate is inevitable.I head to work after dropping Somi at school, today is actually her first day in elementary school and I want her to have an epic first day. I have already promised to take her to the amusement park when I come to pick her up from school.I work at Billianxe group, a distribution company owned by one of the affiliates of Alec’s family. I was opportune to be given the position of sales manager and the job have really paid me off for five years now, although some people are never happy about it.I meet Jane Brit, the general manager of BG, at the elevator. She smiles at me and I smil
SEVEN YEARS LATER ** Isabel **“Wake up, Isabel.” A hand shakes me from my peaceful sleep and I groan in dissatisfaction.“What is it?” I snap at the intruder but he does not stop.“Wake up, you sleepy head or we will miss the surprise party we organized for Somi.” He whispers and my eyes shoot open.“Alec, goodness me. Why didn’t you wake me up earlier?” I question.“I should be asking you what’s wrong, you slept past the time and your alarm has been blaring loudly since four in the morning. Now come on or this surprise will be ruined.” He says and drags me out of the bed.The rest of the family members are waiting outside my door. Allen is holding the birthday cake with a burning cotton candle in the center, the kids are holding different presents with smiles that are beaming on their faces.“Let’s go, Isabel. We’re running out of time.” Allen says and I nod.We tiptoe to Somi’s room and I open the gently, we creep in and position ourselves around her princess sized bed. Then Alec
**Jared **How does one feel when he watches his life flash before his eyes or his loved one being taken away from him?I do not know how to answer that question because I have always avoided the situation, now that I am stuck in it, I want to try as hard as I can to decipher those questions. How does it feel to watch a loved one being taken away?Honestly, i literally saw my life flash before my eyes when Isabel walked into that portal and I knew that all hopes are lost when it was closed down. Before my very own eyes, the love of life chose to stay away from me because of a fabricated prophecy and vision.I saw her there - in the dark when I was broken- she was shocked when Sorana spilled the truth to us. I wanted to kill Sorana but how can I ? She is still attached to Isabel and we are in a realm, there is nothing physical in that realm.But the pains of losing her never seems to go away, I still read her letter everyday whenever I wake up and every night before I go to bed. I woul
They all say that there is always the calm before the storm breaks out. Maybe we can’t find peace, maybe we can’t find happiness but deep down in our hearts, we are aware that the bonds of true love can conquer it all and balance every inequality ~~~ Isabel Moon.“Are you not coming to bed already?” Tiffany’s voice shakes me from my thoughts.I think that I have been sitting by the window of the library with the letter in my hands. I must have drifted to sleep or something - my body feels a little bit numb from staying in one position for long. I stand from my position and stretch my body, my bones cackle in the process and their stiffness softens a bit.“I am now, I must have forgotten myself for a while.” I mutter and we both head to my room with the letter still in my hands.“You should not strain yourself too much. We do not what the chance of getting a new doctor are and we do not want you to be risking yourself in this critical condition.” Tiffany says and I yawn heavily.“I am
