After lunch, Devon took us to the spa as promised and we had a great time, much to my dismay he paid for everything as usual. We got home at '17:30' and by then, I was beat and Sophie had also fallen asleep in the car on the way back. When we got home, Devon put Sophie in bed and received a call right after, which he said was from work. He left soon after claiming that it was something important that couldn’t be postponed.

"When is Daddy coming home?" Sophie asked.

"I'm not sure, Baby, but I'm sure he'll be home soon." I said trying to reassure her while giving her a hug.

It was already '21:13' and Devon was still not back, which I didn’t expect to happen. When he left, I thought it would take about an hour or two for him to solve whatever he needed to solve at work, but now I’m worried that I even called my mom about an hour ago to tell her about the situation and that I would be home late.

"How about you tell me about yourself, Miss Sophie? “I asked her as we sat in the living

    Isabella's POV I woke up at 05:30 and quickly changed into the clothes I originally wore yesterday. I then quickly looked for a pen and paper which I luckily found downstairs in the living room. I sat down and started writing a short note. Dear Mr Black By the time you read this, I'll probably be at home. Thank you for everything you did for me yesterday and I'm sorry I couldn't tell you this in person because I left so early. Well, I gotta go or I'll miss my train, see you tomorrow and sorry for leaving so suddenly. Have a great day. Yours sincerely Isabella Putting the note on the table, I stood up and rushed to the door before speed-walking to the subway station. 1 Hour later I was sneaking into my house in fear of waking someone. I forgot to tell my parents that I would not be coming home last night so they must have been worried sick, so, I'm most certainly in deep trouble. To both my luck and relief, I successfully got to my room, took a quick shower, and changed into

    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

    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

    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

    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 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

    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

    "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

    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 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
