Isabella's POV It's almost been a year since I've been with Devon and since I've known the girls. The girls and I are as mischievous as ever, plus we have added Damian's mate, Jasmine into the group. She was the girl we roasted with Damian that morning at 3 am, poor thing. But overall, we’re all just amazing. Hence, we decided to go on a vacation to a nearby resort. There's Sophie, Devon, Damian, Dominic, Landon, Blaine, Elena, Jasmine, Megan, Daniella, and I. "We're checking into the family suite under, Devon Black." Devon told the receptionist. "Of course." She answered typing something on the computer before handing us our key cards. "I hope you enjoy your stay." She said with a warm and polite smile. We walked to the elevator with me carrying Sophie and Devon carrying the bags. "Are you excited, Baby?" I asked Sophie with excitement as we got into the elevator. "I'm very excited, Mommy. Are you excited Daddy?" She asked Devon. Devon leaned in with a smile and kissed Sophie
4 YEARS LATER Isabella's POV Devon and I got married last year and in an intimate wedding with only family and close friends present. I learnt the responsibilities of being a Beta Female, but the girls and I still have fun. Megan and Dominic got married a month after us and now they are expecting twins. They don't know the genders, otherwise they are over the moon and can't wait for the birth of their babies. I stopped working for Devon after we got engaged 'typical'. I now work as an author. But a couple of days ago I started getting nauseous every morning and Devon and I suspect that I might be pregnant, so we bought pregnancy tests today and are now waiting for the results. I grabbed the one test and nearly fainted at what I saw. The pregnancy test had two lines, indicating that I was indeed pregnant. At that moment Devon entered," What does it say?" He nervously asked. "Devon, Baby we're pregnant," I softly said. I first saw happiness flash through his face, but it was quick
Isabella's POV "Where is it?" I whispered hastily under my breath. Hi, my name is Isabella to be precise Isabella Joy Wilds. I live in a medium-sized town called ‘Roseville’ with my parents and older sister. I am a 5'3 feet tall girl, with thick shoulder length, curly, natural ginger-brown hair paired with brown-ish hazel eyes courtesy of my dad. "Where in the world is that stupid shoe?" I shouted as I pulled my hair in frustration. "There we go again," I heard my mom say with barely contained-laughter. "You know if you actually placed your shoes in their rightful places as I always tell you, instead of just kicking them around everywhere, you wouldn't be faced with the same problem every morning." And I could hear the amusement in her voice as well as see the 'I told you so' face that I knew she had on. Releasing a humph of frustration, I turned around to face my mother and there it was as bright as day, the famous 'I told you so' face. "Mom?" I asked her expectantly and as exp
Isabella's POV "Okay, Megs. Let’s split up." I said while ripping the list in half while Megan nodded at the idea. "You get the things on this list," I said handing her half the list, "And I'll get the ones on this list. When you're done, call me on my cell and we'll meet up at the tills points. If I finish before you then you'll get the call from me." "Got it, see ya later, Lil' sis." Megan waved behind her, already walking away to fetch the things on her list. "Where to go first?" I quietly asked myself looking at the items on the list. "Detergents here I come." I mumbled to myself walking toward the direction of the detergent aisle. ~~~~~ Devon's POV When Sophie and I arrived at the grocery store, we bought all that we needed before going to Sophie's favourite aisle. By that time, Sophie was starting to get restless, wanting to be picked up at one minute and then being sat down the next. She was yawning quite constantly indicating that it was actually time for her nap. "So
Isabella's POV "Mom! Dad! We're home!" I yelled while entering through the door with a bag in my one hand. "Hey Sweetheart, how did grocery shopping go?" I heard my mom ask while walking to the door. "Can someone help me unload the groceries from the car, my arms and feet are killing me!" Cried Megan while entering the house with her arms filled with grocery bags. "Megan, Honey be careful. You'll hurt yourself carrying all those heavy bags." My mom reprimanded Megan while walking over to help her with the bags. 2 hours later Taking a long shower after a long day of shopping is one of the best things ever. My muscles feel more relaxed, and I just feel relaxed in general. After my shower, I applied my favourite vanilla-scented lotion and deodorant then wore my comfy SpongeBob PJs. I walked to my vanity mirror, sat down on my chair, and ran an afro comb through my hair while it was still a bit easier to comb. My phone started ringing with Maroon 5's ‘Cold’ playing as my ringtone
Devon's POV "Soph, time to wake up. Don't forget Isabella's coming today." I said while gently shaking my daughter. I heard Jace purr in the back of my head just from hearing Isabella's name. ~Why did you tell her to get here at 12, why not at 8?~ Jace huffed in frustration. Knowing Jace's impatience, I just brushed off the comment. Sophie got up and started jumping in excitement. I could feel Jace smiling at his pup's excitement. "Soph, Sweetie why did you call Isabella, mommy last night?" I gently asked her. "Because I feel like she’s, my mommy." She answered quietly while nervously looking down and twiddling her fingers. "Soph, it's best not to call her that for now, okay Baby?" I gently said while taking her small hands in mine. "Okay, Daddy." She sadly whispered. "Okay...time to take a bath." I told her while picking her up and taking her to her joint bathroom. 1 Hour later "What would you like for breakfast, Soph?" I asked her while checking the time on my phone to see
Isabella's POV A groan escaped my lips as I woke up to the annoying sound of my alarm clock. It feels like I just closed my eyes a couple of minutes ago. "I swear night is getting shorter." I sleepily grumbled, slapping my face with a pillow. But it is what it is right? So I stretched my muscles before getting out of my warm, comfy bed and heading to the bathroom across my room, which I consider my own. My parents and sister have their own joint bathrooms so it's only fair that this one is mine. On Saturday, Devon, Sophie, and I went to the movies as planned, however, our movie started at five, so Devon took Sophie and I shopping even as I protested. I swear that man can't take no for an answer. To be honest there's a tiny bit of me that likes that about him almost as much as I like his smile and his killer lips...wait a minute. What in the world am I saying? Bad Isabella, very bad. Ever since I met this guy all my thoughts seem to always include him. I think I need to seek prof
"Devon, there is no need to do that. I'll just stay here and maybe do some cleaning while you two are gone." I said trying to persuade him. "Nonsense. Sophie and I would love it if you would join us." Answered Devon with a reassuring smile. Just like that, my afternoon had been planned. "That is sorted then, I'll see you two for lunch." Said Devon already climbing up the stairs. "So, how about we go watch a movie, Soph?" I asked Soph. The next couple of hours flew by quickly with Sophie and I tickling each other, watching two movies, playing tea party, and dress up. At 12:00, I picked a new outfit for Sophie that included a white short-sleeve shirt, and some short black tights that will be hidden very well under the nice pleated, black-and-white skirt I had her wear. I brushed her hair and left it down to complete her look before we sat down for a good game of twenty questions, which is what were currently playing. "Okay, umm favourite colour?" I asked Sophie. "White." I heard

"Hi." I greeted with a small smile. "You are just adorable," He said with a light chuckle as he stole a quick peck from my lips. "I'm so happy that you want to talk to me, my Love. I’ve wanted to talk to you for some time now." "I've wanted to talk to you too." I admitted with a smile. "Okay, how about I give you that massage now?" He offered with a smile. "Of course.” I grinned at the generous offer. "I'd do anything for you, my Love. Now shall we begin?" He asked gesturing for me to lie down. I laid down on the bed as he also climbed, then he started working, and wow were his hands magical. "So Jace, are you short-tempered?" I asked with my eyes closed as I enjoyed the amazing sensation that both the sparks and his hands gave me. "Well, I tend to be, but trust me when I say, I would never hurt you. I love you too much for that," He said. By the time he was done, I felt so relaxed, my body felt so numb, but a good numb. I turned around and laid on my back and was immediatel
Devon's POV My mate looked at me wide-eyed with shock and confusion graciously marring her sweet features, “What just happened?" She asked. 'Jace, what have you gotten me into?' I growled at him. I could only let out a feeble chuckle while running my hand through my hair as I answered," Well, you just met my wolf, Jace." "Okay,” She slowly responded, “And, why was he angry?" She asked. "As I told you before, werewolves are possessive over their mates so hearing that our mate saw another man's chest is not exactly the most pleasant thing to hear," I explained with a slight growl of distaste. "How about I put on some pants then we can talk more about this." I sighed, already making my way to my closet. "Sure." I heard her say behind me. ~~~~~ Isabella's POV As he went into the closet, I tucked myself in and patiently waited for him. When I heard his footsteps, I turned to look at him and he happened to be shirtless, with only a pair of shorts. My stomach gently swirled in joy
Isabella's POV Megan and I have talked about this for the past two days. She and Dominic actually chat, and they are getting along quite well, she even says that she could love him already which wouldn't be odd thanks to something called a ‘mate bond’, whatever that is. "Bella, someone would like to talk to you." Smiled Megan as she put my phone against my ear. I threw her a quirked eyebrow but shrugged and sighed as I held it against my ear. "Hello." I greeted. "Hey Baby." Greeted a familiar voice- a voice I happened to love. "Hey, how are you?" I cheerfully asked as I put my phone on speaker and sat it on my vanity table so I could continue fixing my hair. "I'm surviving," He sighed, “I miss you, but I respect your wishes to have more time to think." He gently assured. "Thanks, Dev, It really means a lot." I smiled at the phone in gratitude even though I knew he couldn't see me. I swiftly pulled my hair into a messy, low bun to complete my look. "Anything for you,” He respon
Waking up on Sunday morning...let's just say I was a happy camper. I'm sure my family thought I was sick because they know I am not a morning person at all. My mind kept on relieving the moments from my date with Devon and I still can't believe I had my first kiss on Saturday! It was delicate, sweet, sensual, and passionate. He kissed me as if I was made from China -as if I was the most fragile thing in the world. I felt on top of the world. It's been a week since our date and everything has been amazing. He's always so gentle with me and the way he holds me makes me melt in contentment. Not to forget how he calls me 'Baby', it just makes me swoon...well internally at least. Basically, what I'm trying to say is, I'm over the moon. It’s been blissful. He is everything I thought and more. He's also everything I've wanted in a man and more, he makes me feel giddy and happy at the same time. It’s euphoric, I can barely focus on anything else. My thoughts are occupied by him day and nig
Isabella's POV Hearing him say that made my heart dance with joy and made my mind freeze in shock. How could he say he's falling for me when I've only known him for less than a week? Is it even possible for someone to feel this strongly for another in such a short period of time? As much as I'm happy to hear him say he might be falling for me, the more sensible part of me is saying that he is only saying this because he's vulnerable. This is not how he actually feels, his emotions are all over the place due to his grief. They are practically clouded by grief and he's trying to find a way to deal with it. The realisation that he is only asking me on a date as a distraction from his grief hurts like salt on a fresh wound. "You don't have to say anything back. I just wanted you to know." He gently said while taking my hands into his and giving them a gentle squeeze. What does one say to that? I don’t know what to say. My mind and heart were in so much turmoil it burned turmoil but l
Isabella's POV Waking up in the morning I dreaded seeing Devon today, but unfortunately, I had to face him whether I wanted to or not. So, with a soft sigh, I forced myself to get off my comfy bed at the same time Megan got in. She walked over to me and gave me a hug out of nowhere, completely taking me off guard before pressing a kiss on my cheek. The next three words that left her mouth left me feeling many mixed emotions, namely, shock and confusion beyond measure," It was fate." She sent me a smile before leaving my bedroom with me standing there still trying to register what she meant by what she said. The woman can be creepy sometimes. I hastily did my business so I wouldn’t run late before jumping into the car with Dad who dropped me off at Devon’s house as usual. But unlike on other days, the house looked daunting and intimidating today. Standing outside of that gate filled me with many emotions, it was nerve-wracking, but I found the courage in me to swallow my nerves and
Megan's POV "Okay, Sister Dearest time to start shopping." I happily chirped already pulling Isabella into the first shop. "Miss Isabell!" We heard someone yell and it sounded like it belonged to a little girl. Isabella and I turned around in unison to confirm my suspicions. A cute little girl was running toward us excitedly. I had never seen her before, but if Isa’s face is anything to go by, she clearly knew her. It must be the little girl she babysits. “Hey, Soph," Isabella sweetly greeted the little torpedo as it crashed against her legs and happily hugged her. Isabella instantly leaned down to the girl's height and returned the awkward, but overly adorable embrace. The little girl took a curious peek at me before shyly hiding behind Bella." It's okay, Soph,” Bella gently reassured the cute little one,” This is my sister, Megan." She introduced me. "Hey!" I enthusiastically greeted," It's nice to meet you." I smiled, but before she could respond, a panicked, chastising male vo
