Ethan's POV I left Logan's pack, a knowing smile tugging my lips. “He is playing hard to get huh?” I asked myself mused. Although he hasn't agreed yet, I knew it was just a matter of time. He was just trying to put on a thick skin but my prying eyes can see through it all. Behind his facade, I could see a man cowering in fear and wrestling with his own fear and insecurities. My mind slowly drifted to Isabelle. What was I going to tell her? I could picture the look of disappointment on her face when I tell her Ethan hasn't approved the alliance yet. My heart ached at the thought and my mind tried to block the imagination. “What is this that I'm feeling?” “When did I start caring about Isabelle this much?” I asked myself, bewildered. I couldn't deny the growing feelings, stirring within me. Feeling I never intended to develop. Whenever I am with her, my heart raced in a way I couldn't explain. I'm too lenient with her that I sometimes fear she can be the source of my downfall li
Isabelle's POV‘My lady,” “My lady” , a voice called, interrupting me from my peaceful sleep. I yawned and stretched my limbs as I slowly opened my eyes, adjusting it to the bright light from the sun that pierced through the window.“I'm sorry to disturb your sleep My Lady, Miss Talia is here to see you,” a young maid in her mid twenties informed me.“Miss Talia?” I asked groggily, fighting the urge to go back to sleep.“Yes my Lady, it's twelve noon and she has been waiting for the past hour hoping you will wake up soon,” she replied.“Why didn't anybody wake me up?” I questioned, embarrassed that I've slept for this long.“I'm sorry my Lady, it was Alpha Ethan's instruction not to disturb your sleep,” she stated simply with her eyes glued to the floor.I never understood why the maids always had to avoid the eyes of their superiors, maybe it has something to do with respect which I don't see to be necessary in my opinion.“Let her wait in the garden and tell the chef to make her ni
Logan's POVI woke up at the sound of the commotion ensuing outside. The noise grew louder and louder as the chaos seemed to be headed towards the pack house. I got out of bed immediately, not even bothering to change into new clothes, I ran out still in my night robes. I looked at Elena's peaceful sleeping face and locked the door behind me after ensuring her surroundings was safe enough.Our lights were knocked out by the opposition but even in the dim moon light, I could make out the outlines of their huge and hairy forms, the rogue wolves had come again.Their attacks were getting bolder and bolder and this particular one seemed to be targeted at the pack house and at me directly. Even as I watched, my men fought bravely among the horde of invaders in an effort to protect their loved ones and all they held dear at Ravensong Pack.The rogue wolves were becoming more and more skilled in their attacks and their formations seemed to be perfected with each attack in such a way we coul
Isabelle's POVThe look of shock on Ethan's face was not to be missed. "What do you mean she escaped? How did it happen?" He questioned loudly. Brian only shrugged in response to his Alpha's questions. "The guards could not offer any explanation." He said. I myself was shocked at the recent developments, I had believed the pack's dungeons to be a very secured place but at the moment, my beliefs were questioned. "Quick, summon those men on guard duty at once!" Ethan roared and from where I stood, I could see his veins popping in frustration and annoyance. Brian nodded sharply and left the room at once to carry out the Alpha's bidding. I immediately turned to Ethan. "How could this happen?" I questioned him, highly disturbed. "It baffles me." Ethan replied slowly. "This just didn't happen, they had inside help." Ethan confirmed my fears. Mila was the Alpha's sister after all. It was expected of her to have friends in high places. Soon enough, Brian returned with three men who wer
Isabelle's POVI looked up abruptly and was shocked to see Mila standing before me with her hands on her hips. My heart beat increased immediately as I anticipated a fight. Here she was, standing majestically before me in the gardens while a manhunt was carried out for her. I stood up from where I sat slowly, taking care to keep my eyes fixed on my foe. "Mila I...""Save your strength!" She snapped. "You are my ticket out of here and you'll do as I bid you or else there won't be much of you left for my brother." She said menacingly. Her words had no effect on me even as she threatened. I was no coward when it came to combat. I knew that I could at least defend myself against her. "What exactly is your problem with me Mila?" I asked her. "What have I ever done to offend you?"Her eyes narrowed at my question and she spat out bitterly. "You are an outsider, a slut and a very rotten egg. What makes you think you could just show up here and assume the role of Luna?!" Mila asked and I sa
Ethan's P.O.VI knew Isabelle was not happy about the decision I made earlier. I felt she was appalled by the actions I took but I knew as a leader I had to make tough calls. I had to be stern at some point too. If not, nobody would take me seriously. I had pardoned the guard who had the sense enough to confess but the ones who would not, well I needed to make an example of somebody. As I watched Isabelle leave, I had half a mind to go after all but then I thought against that and allowed her to go. She deserved her peace and quietness too. Immediately both Isabella and Brian left, I sank into my chair, the books I had on my table momentarily forgotten as brooded and reflected on the whole events that had transpired. My train of thoughts slowly crept onto Logan and Ravensong pack. I had lied to Isabella. I told her I was not the one behind the rogue's attack on Ravensong yet when I sat there at my desk in the study, I began to see that I could not keep this piece of information from
Ethan's P.O.V"It's likely they headed off in this direction." Brian pointed out to me. My heart skipped a beat when I saw this tunel. I was the Alpha and had been at the head of the whole pack for some years now and I was totally oblivious to the existence of this tunnel. "You know about this tunnel?" I asked Brian. "No Alpha. Until now, I was totally ignorant of this tunnel." Brian admitted and I knew that he was completely honest. "We mustn't breath a word about this tunnel to any one. Anyone at all Brian. Do you understand that?" I asked quickly. Brian's eyes met mine and I saw his response even before it came out verbally. "I understand Alpha. Not a soul will hear about this from me." Brian gave me his assurance and I knew that he would be true to his words. "Come on, man." I beckoned and we both went into the tunnel. The tunnel appeared ancient and seldom used. The walls were covered with green slime and the floor was left bare, mucky and damp. "They'll be close by. They
Isabelle's P.O.VLying on my captor's shoulders, I had regained hope as I saw Ethan and Brian sprinting towards me. Their faces were etched with determination and concern. And I felt a sudden surge of relief, knowing that I was not alone in this predicament.As I watched them draw closer, I became aware of a strange sensation. It was as if my body was slowly coming back to life. I could move my head and my limbs, and I realized with a start that the effects of the chloroform were finally wearing off."Hurry!" Mila urged the men, who were now hastening their steps in an attempt to outrun Ethan and Brian. My heart raced as I saw the fence that encircled the entire town looming before us.Mila and the men approached the fence with purpose, and I found myself wondering what they intended to do against the barbed barrier. To my surprise, Mila moved closer to the wall and, with a swift motion, dragged a massive stone out of the way, revealing a man-sized hole in the fence.I knew I had to a
