I gasped, stunned by his words, “What do you mean?” a crease of frown formed on my forehead as I took cautious steps away from him as though he wanted to take advantage of me, well,that seemed to be the case right now.“Don’t think I’m trying to take advantage of you, believe me when I say that’s the last thing I’ll ever do.” His voice was gentle and flagged me with a sense of assurance that he actually meant what he was saying but I wasn’t about to let my guards down just yet.“How do you expect me to believe those words after what you just said?” I frowned in confusion, staring at his blank expression as he didn’t seem to be at all fazed.“I’m only trying to help you out.” He shrugged nonchalantly and turned to his side while pouring me some herbal tea and placing it right in front of me. The tea had a strong, herbal aroma that filled the room. Its scent was rich and earthy, with hints of floral notes. I scrunched my nose at the scent,despite its apparent health benefits, the smel
Isabella’s povThe wedding preparations were finally taking place and I was literally left to my thoughts most of the time, I could see Logan crawl before me and beg for mercy but I would spare him no glance.Wedding invitations had been sent around and I had even heard some people astonished that I was going to be their Luna. It seemed like an awesome position but I wasn’t at all happy about it and felt that I was somewhat taking advantage of these people.As I walked out of the house making my way into town, I wanted to take a stroll out of town and clear my mind for a moment when I bumped into the lady who had harassed me at the earlier event days ago.“Just what do you think you’re doing here? Have you no shame?” She snarled at me as a look of disdain dressed her forehead.“What’s your deal with me woman? If I annoyed you then you should talk like an adult and quit being childish.” I groaned in frustration, I already had a lot on my table and I wasn’t at all ready to add her to it
Staring at the dress in the mirror I was stunned by how beautiful it looked. The perfect seam trailed with crystal beads that glistened brightly like the stars in a moonlit night, it hugged my curves in the right place accentuating my feminine grace and beauty, a smile trailed on my lips as I stared at it holding back my excitement, this seemed even more beautiful than my initial plain wedding dress.“Do you like it?” Ethan asked from behind me, snapping me out of my little dream.“Of course, it’s beautiful.” I beamed with joy staring at him as a smile formed on the corner of his lips.“Indeed you’re stunning.” He nodded. I can't wait to see you in the dress on our “wedding day”, he said, grinning mischievously.“I love it no doubt but it’s too expensive to wear for a fake wedding.” I explained and his smile instantly dropped.“What do you mean by that?” He hadn’t expected me to say such a thing but that was the fact here, this wedding wasn’t worth anything expensive, at least that’s
The sun was high up, casting its warm rays across the pack as Talia pulled up in her car to take me out. “I came for our arrangement earlier, are you ready?” She asked, flashing me a bright smile, I nodded reciprocating her smile as I hopped into the passenger seat.“Not so fast”! We heard Ethan's voice booming outside. We both directed our gaze towards him expectantly. “Talia, make sure you bring Isabelle to me safe and sound, you will be held accountable for anything that happens to her”, he said in a serious tone, his voice leaving no room for argument.“Yes alpha”, Talia said with a teasing bow which seemed to infuriate him. We drove off after I bid him goodbye assuring him I would stay safe."Ready for some fun?" She asked, excitement bubbling in her voice."Yeah, definitely!" I replied, eager for a break from all the wedding planning stress.As we drove, Talia pointed out landmarks and shared stories about the town, making the journey feel like an adventure.She halted at a f
Isabelle's POV The sun filtered through the curtains, casting a warm glow across the room. I groggily opened my eyes, the events of yesterday flooding back to me. I couldn't shake off the feeling of guilt lingering within me, but then a second thought crossed my mind. “Why should I feel guilty or apologize?” Besides, we're not in a real relationship, so why is Ethan acting as though he's my husband? I wondered to myself, my deviant self crawling up to the surface.We need to clarify things because I didn't do anything wrong nor did Talia, with that in mind I hopped into the shower.After taking a quick shower, I made my way downstairs to confront Ethan. As I entered the kitchen, I found him already there, sipping on his coffee with a distant look in his eyes. I took a deep breath, steeling myself for the conversation ahead."Ethan, we need to talk," I said, my voice more determined than I felt.He looked up, surprise flickering in his eyes at the seriousness of my tone. “About what
Isabelle's POVThe day of our wedding had finally come and I was sitting in my bed with my hands clasped together with a sense of burden weighed on my shoulders, I had tried hard to talk myself out of it but it was still choking me nevertheless.The light tap on the bedroom door snapped me out of my daze back to reality, looking at the door slightly open and Edna walked in with a huge smile on her face.“You’re up early, you must be very excited for today.” She smiled at me graciously with my wedding dress in her hand.Do I have to get ready now?” I frowned, gazing at it.“Not at all, the ceremony starts in about four hours, I’m only here to keep you company.” She replied keeping me at ease and my mind at rest for a moment, I was happy that at least there was company with me and just maybe I would be able to ease up before the wedding.“Oh that’s great.” I nodded my head staring into a distance and sighed again.“You seem worried.” She furrowed her brows gazing at me with so much conc
Isabella’s pov“What?”“Is she insane?”“Why would she say something like that?”“What are you saying?” Ethan growled at her.“Don’t act so rashly, you and I know that this is all a facade and you’re both trying to trick everyone.” Mila shrugged nonchalantly as she glared at me. “I don’t know how she bewitched you to make you agree to such nonsense but I can’t turn a blind eye to it.”“What does she mean by that?”The guests continued to ask one another as tension and confusion filled the air. I on the other hand was speechless and didn’t know how to handle the situation. I decided to keep quiet and let Ethan handle it, afterall it was his suggestion and his sister was the issue here.“”Quit spilling nonsense from that loud mouth of yours or I wouldn’t treat this case as though you are related to me.” He warned her but she didn’t seem to be giving up anytime soon.“Ha! You really think that would keep me from saying anything?” She laughed. “I’m going to expose you witch to everyone s
Few days earlierMila’s povI finally reached the door to my younger brother's office and walked in without any care in the world. I was fuming in rage and wanted him to know that.There were some of his men who bowed their heads in respect to me before walking out leaving just the two of us.“And why did you summon me?” I questioned with a tense feeling lingering in the air, he was still seated at his desk and gazing at him, I could tell he was angry but didn’t seem to care about it, I gently sat in one of the couches in the office and crossed my legs nonchalantly. “Please make it quick.”“Well I see that you have a problem with my fiancé.” He began while sipping a glass of water and leaned back in his seat still gazing at me.“And so? Is that why you made me come all the way here just for you to tell me this?” I was frustrated but wanted to know just how this was going to go. “You both aren’t in love and you want her to be your Luna?”“And who says we aren’t in love?”“It’s obvious!
