“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
The lights are still on and the house is heavily guarded when we arrive. We stop a safer distance, where we can not be spotted easily, to map out how the attack should be taken out.Serafina carries out her duties as a Gamma very well, assisting and at the same time, commanding the armies to be on their best behavior. She spreads out a map and begins to point at the connected dots there.“The plan here is to raid this place and kill whoever that comes your way. Our target is to make sure that not more than five lives will remain alive in that house. With the information that I have gathered in them, the house contains two couples who will be taken care of by the Alpha himself and about a dozen of masked men who are defending them. Do not forget the mission and do not hesitate to strike them, may the Moon goddess bring us luck and victory on our side.” She concludes and everyone mutters acknowledgement to the prayers.Serafina blows the whistle to launch the attack and it officially be
**Isabel** The morning sunshine reflects on my face and I stir in my bed. Then the morning routines set in and I rush into the restroom to throw up, I don’t stop until my stomach is empty and clean. Then I wash my mouth and drink plenty of warm water that Tiffany had set for me.I rub my belly button as I gulp in the contents and I feel the baby bump -it is still small but now visible and easy to feel when you touch it. I giggle childishly when Tiffany enters my room with a fresh towel.“Why are smiling and staring at yourself in the mirror?” She raises her eyebrows at me.I blush harder and show her my baby bump. “I found out that my baby bump is coming out and it makes me so excited to see it. ““That is good for you, have you had your daily routine and your warm water?” She asks and I nod.“All of them are done and dusted, now I need to freshen up and have my breakfast. Do i have any schedule for today?” I ask her.“Well I am not certain if you do. You said that you would love to
