Isabella's POVI shivered as I hid at the back of the tree,I couldn't shake the sight of Logan's men that were ripped apart by those wolves. I couldn't believe that my dream was going to come to pass,I heard the snap of twigs and I stiffened.They were close.I shouldn't have volunteered to go to the animal house. I didn't know the area would be deserted,I should have just gone straight home. I heard snarling and sniffing. If my calculations were right, wolves had a peculiar sense of smell and they would be able to fish me out in some minutes.I looked right and left when I saw that they were still sniffing the ground.I ran as fast as my legs could take me but I was too slow compared to them. Four wolves were now charging at me.I screamed for help and increased my speed but my legs tripped and I fell,and rolled on the thorn plants.I whimpered as the plants tore my skin,my breathing increased when I heard growling. I screamed when I saw that I was now surrounded by the three of them.
Logan's POVThree weeks have passed and Isabella was still on the sick bed. Her recovery was very slow. Gaius encouraged me that I shouldn't lose hope Isabella wasn't a werewolf. Her healing process will take longer than usual. What was in hand was to explain things to her friend Mandy who has been frequenting my office in search of her friend. I paused what I was doing when Frank escorted Mandy in.“Good morning sir.” She greeted me.“Have your seat Mandy.” I offered and she shook her head.“I'm fine with standing.” She refused.“I insist.” I pressed.She sighed and took her seat,dark bags were under her eyes. She opened her mouth to talk and closed it again,she was nervous.“You should stop going to the police station, Isabella is with me.” I finally told her.Mandy had gone to the police station to file a missing case,and with my connections I had to stop the search.“But she isn't picking my calls, it's not like her not to return my calls.” She retorted.Frank came back interrup
Isabella's POVTears flowed from my eyes,my heart beated in an irregular pattern as I remembered the events that happened,I didn't miss the horror look on Logan's face when I told him how I saw him change from a wolf to a human.“Isabella, you need to calm down,I will explain everything.” He came closer cautiously.“Go to hell!” I flared up.I tore off the IV from my hand and came down from the bed and I regretted my actions immediately. My whole body burnt,I could feel the stitches reopening,I cried not out of frustration but out of intense pain.“Stay…away.. from me!” I warned him when he wanted to help.I remained there crying,the bandages were now soaked with blood,the door opened and the previous doctor that attended to me rushed to my side.“Why did you get up from the bed! Your wounds are still fresh, you should know that?” He yelled at me.I allowed him to put me back in bed,Logan paced around worriedly as the man treated me,the more I groaned in pain the more he paced around.
AZALEA“There’s no such thing as werewolves,” I said for the umpteenth time to my father as we sat in the dining room that evening for dinner.I had gotten tired of his constant rambling about them and how many he had managed to hunt down. It didn’t make any sense to me, a person having the ability to turn into an animal. I had just gotten home from my college dorm after graduation, and the last thing I needed was him lecturing me.“And how do you think I got the money to feed you and the money for this house that I bought?” he challenged, smirking as if he had just trapped me in a corner that would lead me to believe him.“You work other jobs,” I guessed with a shrug. I didn’t want to say anything about it anymore.“I do not,” he argued. “One werewolf is worth tens of thousands of dollars, and that’s only a small size. Six months ago, I was lucky enough to catch one after catching another one a month before.”I stared at him helplessly, not sure whether it really had been a good idea
AZALEAA loud scream tore out of my throat, my voice ripping through the stillness of the night as I felt a searing pain in my neck like fire. The man’s teeth sunk deeper into my skin, and I grunted, trying to push him off. I thrashed roughly against him, but he was too strong, holding me in place as my body trembled under the agony.In the distance, I heard my father shouting my name. His voice was faint, muffled by the pounding in my head and the my own voice blaring in my ears.Then, just as quickly as it had come, the weight on top of me was gone. The man disappeared, slipping into the darkness of the woods as if he was a ghost.I gasped for air, clutching at the wound on my neck, my fingers slick with the warmth of my own blood. Everything started to blur, the tall trees around me spinning. I tried to stay conscious, to hold on until my father found me.“Dad,” I whispered, unable to even hear my voice and doubting that he had heard me.“Azalea!” His voice was closer now, full of
AZALEA“Oh, my God!” I muttered, my hand slapping my mouth in shock.He stood on the other side of the glass, his face illuminated by the pale moonlight and mostly by the light from my bedroom. He didn’t look anything like the savage creature I remembered from earlier. His features were sharp, handsome even, and his eyes… they weren’t wild or feral. They were human.He watched me intently, as if waiting for something. My heart pounded in my chest, my breath catching in my throat.I wanted to scream, to run, to call for my father, but I couldn’t move. His eyes held me in place, and I was frozen, trapped in that moment and not sure what to do.This was the man who had marked me. The man who had claimed me as his own, according to my father. And now, he was here, standing at my window, looking more human than ever.How did he know where I lived?“Open it,” I heard him say as he gestured at the latch that was holding my window closed.I narrowed my eyes at him, shaking my head and scoffin
AZALEAMy breath hitched as I took in the bloody scene in front of me. These people were digging and tearing into each other with a brutality I could never comprehend. I couldn’t help but realize that I had stumbled into something I wasn’t meant to see.My heart pounded in my chest, every instinct screaming at me to get out of there before anyone noticed that I was not one of them.I slowly backed away, trying to move quietly, praying I could slip away unnoticed. The sounds of snarling and snapping jaws filled my ears, making it hard to focus. My foot crunched on a twig, the sound far too loud in the chaos, and my stomach dropped.“Oh, God,” I said as I felt my stomach twist like I was going to get sick. That would definitely get their attention.In a panic, I turned and bolted out of there.Branches whipped against my arms and face as I raced through the trees, my heart hammering in my chest. I didn’t know where I was going, only that I needed to get away. As far away as possible. Th
AZALEA “Please, let me go.” I cried helplessly, finally succumbing to his threats. “I won't dare to come back here, just let me go.”Unfortunately, my tears did nothing to stop him from what he had in mind. His eyes shone with terror as he approached me slowly, a mocking smile creeping through his lips.“You're not in the position to tell me what to do, milady. You are mine, and no one… not even my brother can stop me from having you.”He walked behind me, holding my neck in a chokehold and leaning his head against my neck. His lips brushed through my neckline, traveling slowly into my skin.His sharp teeth dug into my neck, and I whimpered in pain as I struggled to get myself out of his firm grip.I felt a searing pain in my neck as he slowly pulled out his teeth from the point where he had bitten me.He let out a smile, waving his hair backwards. “Now I have you. You belong to me too as long as you have my mark on you.” He said boldly, clearly proud of himself.My eyes narrowed, my

Logan's POVAfter receiving the report that Isabella refused to come back,I told my men to keep an eye on her,stay behind the shadows and make sure she is safe. I guess I just have to give her time to accept and trust me but I must say she was different,far different from all the women I've met with. They would easily jump and accept me. There was a time they were fighting because of the position of Luna, each of the wolves came with different techniques to get me to claim them but there was Isabella, one who doesn't even want me.“What's going on here!” I thundered when I saw Vanessa choking one of the maids.I shut the door behind me, Vanessa released her hand and the maid fell to the ground and coughed trying hard to catch her breath.“What are you doing here?” My question was directed to Vanessa.I looked at the girl on the ground.I knew she was one of the maids in charge of cleaning my room. What I still don't get is why Vanessa was in my bedroom?“Alpha I caught her snooping ar
Isabella's POVI dragged my feet on the ground skeptical about going to class,I was embarrassed to go inside. There were rumours going around about me being involved with the Mafia. I adjusted my hoodie so my face wouldn't show and walked inside the hall,Mandy had kept a seat for me and I went ahead to sit.“Look who we have here.” She dragged her chair closer.“I need help Mandy.” I whispered and she chuckled.“I'm serious.” I glared at her.“If I were you,I would gladly submit to Mr Logan,do you even know who he is?” “That's not helping Mandy.”“Okay, I'm sorry.” She raised her hands in surrender.I told Mandy how Logan told me that I was his soul mate and the sooner I accept the better it will be for me.I must say Logan was a man to kill for but something kept screaming danger about him and the way he acts, like he is above everyone.“Do you know that Richardo is still in the hospital?” Mandy Informed.“Please don't tell me.” I shut my eyes,guilt washed over me. I was drunk that
Logan's POVIt took all the efforts I could muster not to tear the stupid guy apart, if I wasn't surrounded by humans I would have broken his skull. After getting paranoid and almost killing my men for negligence I was able to track down Isabella to a night party of all places when I was scared to death that the rogues might have caught up with her. “You are coming with me!” I carried her and threw her on my shoulder.I signalled to Fraa k stop the students from taking videos and to get me her things. “You are…. making me dizzy…freak.” She blabbed as she hit my back.“Stop it!” I gritted my teeth in anger.She didn't stop hitting me and when I thought that was all,I felt something hot on my back and I froze when I caught the scent. I shut my eyes trying to contain the anger that was building up and not to growl in a public place.“Oops…I vomited.” She giggled and I lost it.I spanked her butt and she cried out.I opened the door of the car and threw her in before strapping her to the
Isabella's POV“Are you sure they aren't following us again?” I whispered to Mandy.“I think the coast is clear.” She whispered back.After Logan dropped me off and I went through a series of questions from Mandy about what happened, I got to know that some were following me. So we came up with a plan and we are able to shake them off me.“Are they from Mr Logan?” Mandy asked.“I don't know.” I answered.Although he said something about his rivals that are after me,he didn't say anything about sending his men to watch me.“What should we do now? We can't keep hiding in a corner?’ I signed,my legs were already aching due to too much bending.“Should we go to Felix for help?” Mandy asked.“That's the first place Logan would look for me.” I dismissed.“Yeah . that too.” She pouted.Mandy suddenly gasped and I looked at ten front in fear, thinking the men had caught up until she tapped my shoulder and smiled.“I have an idea but might not sit well with you.” She told me.“Hit me.” I respo
Logan's POVI have never seen someone as stubborn as Isabella,she kept ranting about how I got her life messed up and wanted to go home after I had clearly explained that she was in danger. Funny enough how my wolf loves everything about her,I had to keep him in check when he kept on hammering to mark her and claim her as his.I opened the door to the room slowly,I wanted to wake Isabella up but noticed that she was up already and was dressing. I couldn't peel my eyes off her body,my eyes trailed up her spine until it landed on a mark on her left shoulder.It was a crescent moon mark.“Heyyyyyy!!” Isabella threw her clothes at me.I looked away from her,but still pondered on what I had seen. I cleared my throat when Isabella stomped her feet on the ground.“I'll drop you off at school.” I told her before walking out.“Pervert!!” She yelled at me as I left.She came out after she was fully dressed and prepared,I caught her stealing glances at me when our eyes met she hissed.“So have
Isabella's POVMandy paced around fuming furiously,my eyes followed her movement almost making me dizzy. She paused and held her head with force like she was feeling a pang on her head.“But you know it's actually a tricky offer.” She bit her finger.“I know right.” I sighed. “He offered to pay your tuition also.” I told her and she gasped.I didn't know what came over that made me snap at Logan like that,I know I'm not rich but I just felt threatened when he said those words it made me look cheap like he could just buy me.“Why don't we give it a second thought?” Mandy teased and I glared at her.“I already made things clear to him,I still don't get why he wanted me,there are tons of girls that would gladly do more than that for him regardless of what he's offering.”“That's true…it's kind of suspicious though.”“Hey, that reminds me! we are going to Richardo's birthday party right?” “I'll pass.” I shook my head.Mandy was about to retort when we heard a knock on the door,we looked
