The world felt wrong. Isabelle's breath became too foreign, sharp, and thin when she returned to the temple. The air was a blur. The encounter was similar to coming up with a pleasurable air, but the air was poisonous.

Her heart pounded, wild, frantic. Gabriel's hands were still touching her shoulders, too tightly, and unbalanced. They appeared to be too much. The man's presence was unclear in certain areas, and his voice echoed distantly while calling out her name, much like the sound of watermelon.

She was unable to pay attention to him. Why?

The sight of it was still there when she saw it.

The object that had escaped from her chest.'

That entity which was embedded in her veins, bones and soul.

It had always remained.'

Her stomach twisted violently.

The temple walls were adorned with torches that flickered, the shadows were stretched and warped, and the air was made thicker by the presence of life in the temple.

It's likely that Gabriel felt it, given how tight his grip was

    The silence stretched between them, thick and heavy, pressing against Isabelle's skin like a second weight, suffocating, unrelenting. Gabriel hadn't moved. His hands were still curled into fists at his sides, his body tense, coiled too tight, too rigid, like he was holding something back. His words still hung in the air. "Because I don't know if I'll want to let go. ". They shouldn't have meant anything. They shouldn't have made her breath catch, shouldn't have sent a slow, deep heat curling in her stomach. But they did. Because Gabriel didn't say things like that. Not to her. Not ever. Her throat tightened. She could feel the fire inside her, twisting, shifting, but it wasn't just hers anymore. It had touched him. It had recognized him. And worse—he had recognized it, too. A shiver raked through her. Gabriel's jaw ticked. “Sit down before you fall over.”. The sudden shift back to his usual cold, controlled self made her bristle. “I'm fine.”. Gabriel's gaze flicked

    The flame persisted, lingering beneath her skin and curving in all her bones, watching. It was still there. The words of Gabriel were swayed tightly, treacherous, unyielding. "Our resistance endures until you attain it.". Isabelle's breath hitched. He had spoken to her, which was more frightening as she didn't know what it was. Or that she was thinking about it. Her reaction to him was not anticipated in this manner. Not after everything. After years of tormenting and challenging her, he finally found peace in a world where imposes rules. This was months ago. However, this was her first time being out of sight. Unknown things were something that Gabriel Phoenix hated. She raised her head. "Do you think I am capable of breaking my jaw?". The smirk from Gabriel was slow and perilous. "No, little wolf.". I think you're already breaking.”. Her pulse spiked. She hated him. She detested the fact that he had clear vision and could see through her, knowing precisely where to pu

    The air between them was too thick, too heavy, too charged. Gabriel was too close. The heat of his body pressed into hers, his breath warm against her skin, his voice still lingering in her ears. "Your body already did. ". Isabelle's pulse pounded. Gabriel wasn't touching her anymore. Not really. But she could still feel him. Like the fire inside her had already memorized the shape of him. Like it was pulling toward him, aching, waiting. Her hands curled into fists at her sides. She wanted to shove him away. She wanted to wipe that smirk off his face. She wanted to rip him apart. But worse than all of that—. She wanted to pull him closer. And that? That was the most dangerous thing of all. She swallowed hard, forcing every inch of her body to stay still, forcing herself to ignore the way her skin burned where his fingers had just been. She lifted her chin. “I don't play games, Gabriel.”. His smirk deepened. “Then what do you call this?”. She hated that he was still

    There was an indescribable tension that spanned the entire room, like a delicate thread about to unravel. It was a charged air, full of something unrevealed and beyond control. With a dangerous amount of patience, Gabriel watched Isabelle with his everlasting eyes, their sparkling sparkles exuding an inexplicable power. The smile on his lips disappeared, replaced by a much more menacing expression—intent. He was consistently composed and in charge. But now? He appeared to be a man on the brink of something. The decision to step back was a conscious choice for Isabelle. Create distance. Break the strange, oppressive pull that had been imposed on them.' The footing persisted, her body encroaching into the ground, and she responded to him without asking. He had touched her, and the fire within her had identified him.'". And worse—so had she. Gabriel lifted his hand and lightly stroked her wrist, causing her to shiver. He whispered, "Little wolf, tell me what happened," with an unf

    Her waist was encircled by Gabriel's hands, and his body collided with her veins, causing heat to billow. He'd have his lips savage, demanding, and relentless, taking all the things she wanted from her and daring her to take more. Isabelle wasn't passive. She was not a vulnerable creature caught in his trap. She fought back. Then she held her hands tightly into his shirt, seemingly trying to tear him apart and keep him close at the same time. Low, dark and full of something dangerous,’ Gabriel growled against her mouth. he had been. With his fingers in their grip, he penetrated her body and fell down her spine, asserting. She hated him. Hate how he kissed her, as though to prove something. Disliked the way she craved something more. Her nails stooped against his breast, and he spat out with a sharp breath that sent her racing. She felt him tense, hesitate—. And then he snapped. With a quick motion, he spun them around and held onto the stone wall, tilting his hand to his s

    Her waist was tightly gripped by Gabriel, who seemed to be filled with jealousy. With his breath in the air, his body pressed into hers as flamed veins raced....? The beating heart of Isabelle was felt, and her body betrayed her. She didn't understand or want to comprehend his response. The temperature was too high for them to handle. Every part of her being was alive, infused with passion, yearning for something she couldn't pinpoint. Gabriel knew it. His thoughts were confined to the way her breath caught his attention and her fingers blended with his shirt fabric. A confident, erratic expression was how he smiled. She hated him for it. She pressed him on the chest, but he didn't move or shake. His emerald eyes tightened in his grip, and the air between them seemed to be taking over from her breathing. While not weak or fragile, she felt vulnerable and in danger as if standing beside something dangerous, beyond her control. His fingers straddled the edge of her jaw, turning her

    The heat lingered on Isabelle's skin like a second layer, thick and heavy, impossible to resist. Even after inhaling many breaths and pushing away the memory of Gabriel's touch, it remained. He remained. She had been influenced in multiple ways by him. And he knew it. Gabriel observed her with a sense of anticipation, anticipating that she would break off and reveal their shared knowledge. Despite Isabelle's efforts, they were not satisfied. With her back facing the air, she lifted her chin and ignored the intense beat of her pulse, with the burn still burning beneath her skin. "This doesn't change anything.". He had that sour kiss on his lips, which was quite unpleasant. “Does it not?”. The wording was firm, but she couldn't be sure if that was the right answer. "Regardless, it was an error.". It won't happen again.”. The eyes of Gabriel were twitchless and his voice became unreadable. "You're deceiving yourself." This is the message that Garcia conveys. Her palm with the t

    The realization weighed heavily in Isabelle's chest, overwhelming, unmanageable. She was tethered to him now. Whether by fate, by fire, or by whatever dark force had brought her back from the dead—Gabriel Phoenix was the only one who could help her. And she hated it. Hated him. Hated that he was right. Gabriel watched her carefully, his emerald eyes unreadable. He wasn't smirking anymore, wasn't mocking her. This wasn't a game to him anymore. It was something else. Something deeper. Something she didn't want to name. The room felt too small, too hot, too charged with the weight of whatever this was between them. Isabelle's fingers twitched at her sides, itching to do something, anything, to break the moment. But she didn't move. Neither did he. Gabriel was the first to speak, his voice quiet, but firm. “You don't trust me.”. A sharp laugh escaped her lips. “You think?”. His gaze darkened slightly. “I don't expect you to. But I need you to listen.”. Isabelle crossed her arm

    The door was slammed shut behind Isabelle, and a disquieting silence descended. The air, previously heavy with tension and bluster, reeked of terror.Blake sat on his knees, panting for air, his pride shattered. His hands were trembling as he gazed at the spot where Isabelle had been seconds ago.She was gone.But she was still there—wrapped around his neck like a garrote.Violetta whimpered beside him, curling in on herself as if that would make her disappear. She had always been cunning, manipulative, playing her little games in the shadows. But she had never anticipated this.For Isabelle becoming something more.For the vulnerable girl they betrayed becoming the very thing that would destroy them both.Blake ground his jaw.No.This was not how it was supposed to be.He was the Alpha.

    The hall was thick with silence. The air itself hummed, heavy with the electricity of an impending storm. Isabelle lounged in the doorway, her pose deceptively relaxed, yet the lethal energy radiating from her in waves brooked no doubt—she was here to end this.Blake's mouth parted slightly, his breath uneven. He had fought many enemies, had waged wars that tested his limits, but this? This was not war.This was judgment."You should be dead," Violetta whispered, her voice barely audible over the snap of the fireplace. Her face was wan, terror distending her eyes. "We… we killed you."Isabelle tilted her head to the side, a slow, amused smile unfolding on her lips."Destroyed me?" she repeated, stepping closer. The only noise anyone could decipher was the creak of her boots on the wooden floor. "No, Violetta. You didn't destroy me. You just set me free."Blake clenched his fists, trying to hide how his heart shook against his ribs."You think you're invincible now?" he sneered, forcin

    The room was smaller, the air thick with unseen chains as Caitlyn's guards took a step forward. The booted feet slamming into the ground issued a quiet warning—this was no longer a negotiation.This was a trap.Isabelle lifted her chin, refusing to let them see even a flicker of fear. She had been here before—cornered, betrayed, outnumbered. And yet, she had always found a way out. She wouldn’t give Caitlyn or her treacherous ex-lovers the satisfaction of seeing her break."You’re making a mistake," Isabelle said, her voice steady despite the war raging inside her.Caitlyn smiled a soft smile. "Oh, Isabelle. I think the mistake was ever leading you to think that you controlled your fate."The guards moved one more step closer, and Isabelle's body tensed.They thought she was helpless.They thought she was the same woman they'd discarded years ago.Fools.Blake didn't say anything, but his eyes pierced hers as if searching for something—a reaction, maybe even an apology.

    Isabelle held steady beneath the oppressive weight of the betrayal bearing down upon her. The room was too small, the air thick with unspoken danger. Violetta, Caitlyn, and Blake—all of them gathered before her like phantoms of her own past, to eat her whole. Her fists balled at her sides, nails digging into her palms, grounding her. She had already been to hell and back. She had struggled free of shadows before. And if they thought she would crack now, they were mistaken. Caitlyn tilted her head, looking at her with sharp amusement. "I must admit, I'm impressed," she thought. "Despite everything, you're still here. Still so stubborn." She breathed dramatically. "You were always a stubborn little girl." Isabelle's jaw clamped. "And you were always a coward." Caitlyn's eyes flickered with something evil, but her smile never wavered. She turned instead to Violetta, waving her hand languidly in her direction. "Tell me, dear, does it hurt? Seeing her again?" Violetta's eyes narrowed

    A new figure stepped out of the darkness, her high heels tapping against the cold stone ground.Isabelle's stomach twisted into a knot the instant she recognized the familiar mess of dark hair, the same icy eyes that had once been warm but now burned with something hard.Violetta.A woman who had been her best friend. The one she had chosen for a sister. The one she had trusted above everyone else.And the one who had betrayed her in the most heinous of ways."Surprised to see me, Isabelle?" Violetta's lips curled into a sneer as she approached.Isabelle's breath stalled, her entire body freezing at the memories that came crashing over her like a tidal wave.The allegations. The gossip. The way Blake's eyes had turned to ice that night he believed she had betrayed him. The way she screamed, begged him to believe her. The way her reputation as Luna had been taken from her, her pride shattered.And Violetta just stood there and watched and smiled as Isabelle had been purchased by Gabrie

    The castle gates slammed open with a deafening roar. The cold night air swept inside, reeking of blood and steel. Isabelle barely had time to realize what was happening before the first attacker shoved forward.Gabriel moved like a specter, swift and certain. His sword was a slash of silver as he rushed to engage the invaders. Steel met steel, the clash of it ringing through the air, resonating through Isabelle's very marrow.She stepped back, her heart pounding. The slain guard still lay on the floor in front of her, his empty eyes staring into nothing.A gloved fist closed on her wrist.She whirled around, reflexes overriding her, but before she could strike, she was swept into the solid body of a chest. Gabriel."Stay behind me," he growled, shoving her back as another attacker swung. The knife whizzed inches from her nose, but Gabriel was already battling back, cutting the man down with vicious efficiency.The battle burst out around them.Gabriel's men stormed the hall, steel fl

    The air inside Gabriel's castle was thick, weighed down with tension so sharp it could cut. The return ride had taken some time, but Isabelle barely noticed the passage of time. Her head was a whirlwind, revolving around the same question over and over.What now?Gabriel had saved her. He had fought for her. And yet she was smart enough not to conflate his behavior with something so transitory as love. This was survival. A kill-or-be-killed, power play, strategy game, and dominance.She was still a pawn on the board. The only question was: whose game?As she stepped into the grand halls of the castle, the weight of it all fell upon her breast. The torches flickered and threw dancing shadows on stone walls, but even the warmth of the fire could not thaw the ice in her heart.Behind her, Gabriel dismounted, his footsteps following hers like a silent demand. He had been watching her the entire way back, and now, she could feel the unspoken questions hanging between them."You’re awfully

    The atmosphere was tense that evening, thick silence between Gabriel and Isabelle as they rode through the thick woods, their entourage riding steadily towards the castle. The rhythmic thud of hooves against the earth road failed to mask the unspoken words that hung between them.Gabriel gripped the reins tightly, his mind a battlefield of conflicting emotions. His entire life had been spent believing he could not love, that his heart had been forged hard by bloodshed, duty, and betrayal years ago. And yet, when he looked at Isabelle—her soft features shining in the light of the silver moon—he felt something shift inside of him.He'd been stupid to have rejected it for so long.She was under his skin, inside his head, in every gasp he breathed. The flame of her passion called to the shadows of his own, and however much he fought against it, he knew—he was hers.But he couldn't. He wouldn't.Gabriel gritted his jaw and willed his eyes straight ahead, trying to ignore the rapid beating
