Isabella's P.O.VWhen I stood up angrily, Ethan also stood with me. He slowly wrapped his hand around my waist quietly without a word and I began to calm down. It was like magic the way Ethan did it . It was really a wonder to note that even without saying a word, Ethan had the power to calm my raging temper, his touch a healing and soothing balm to my aching nerves. I took a deep breath and returned to my seat."Can I at least talk?" My father asked.As a matter of fact, I didn't want to hear anything he had to say and I already made up my mind that I would never pay heed to whatever they had to say but I found myself nodding when he asked."We've been unfair to you Isabella." My father spoke. "I personally am ashamed of myself considering the way I treated you. I can't ask and expect you to pardon me immediately but I ask that at least you should find it in your heart to forgive your mother.""And why so? Because she's goody two shoes?" I snapped again."Because she's been worried
Ethan's P.O.VBrian's words caught through me like a butcher's knife slicing through steak and my breath ceased momentarily. "You found her?" I asked to confirm what he had just told me."Yes Alpha." Brian confirmed. "She's hiding out at the moon shadow pack.""Nathan!" I replied hotly. Alpha Nathan of moon shadow pack was one of my heated rivals. He is cunning and purely evil. To hear that my sister was hiding out at Nathan's side really got me riled up. "When did you get this information?" I asked Brian."Not too long ago Alpha. One of our spies brought this information and I decided to bring it to you ASAP." Brian answered."Thank you Brian." I nodded at the man and he bowed shortly."Mila's presence at the moon shadow pack really put us in a bad spot Ethan." Brian said. "There's no denying that Mila knew a lot of our secrets while she was here and it is safe to assume that she would be at liberty to disclose whatever she knows to Alpha Nathan."I was left stunned at the outcome o
Isabella's P.O.VImagine my shock when I woke up to see Ethan over me! What was he doing? Had he ceased this opportunity to take advantage of me while I was asleep? I really didn't know what was really happening but with sleep still heavy in my eyes, I reacted without evening planning. With all my strength I pushed the unsuspecting Ethan to the floor.Ethan was very much surprised as I was. His face said it all. I watched him slowly rise from the floor where he fell. I shrank into the bed thinking he'll lose his calm and attack me but Ethan only straightened his clothes. He had refused to change into his night garments before bed and I didn't know why."You were having a nightmare. I was only waking you up." He explained calmly.I could not say anything. I simply stared up at him. The sleep cleared from my eyes and I started to believe that he was actually telling the truth. At the moment I was too ashamed to even speak again and he watched me carefully, his face devoid of emotions or
Isabella's POVIn order to avoid making a scene, I decided to just step around the girl blocking my path. I decided to just step around her and move on but the girl was relentless. She quickly moved and positioned herself in my path again staring daggers at me. The guards who followed me from behind quickly stepped forward but I signaled them to leave the girl alone. The men were not okay with my order but they stopped, their eyes on the girl wearily."What do you want?" I asked the girl. "Go back to where you came from." She hissed. "You're not our Luna! You're a fraud and you're not married to Alpha Ethan!" The girl declared loudly.Her words cut through me like cheese and my heart seemed to stop for a while. It hit me immediately that I was looking at one of Mila's loyalists. Mila was away at present but it seemed she still had loyalists at blood moon pack who were willing to carry on the battle."What exactly do you mean?" I asked, trying to mask my discomfort that was increasing
Ethan's P.O.VThe journey to the moon shadow pack was uneventful. We spent most of the time anticipating what would happen at the moon shadow pack. On my part, I found myself thinking mostly of Isabella and what had happened the night before. It was clear that the poor girl thought I had sinister intentions but that was not the case at all. I left that morning before she could wake up and after my hasty instructions and arrangements, I and Brian left for the moon shadow pack.Our car pulled over at the huge and towering gates of the pack and stopped, the purring of the engine was put to a stop immediately sending the whole area into an eerie silence. The men who stood at the gates were all dressed in gray which happened to be the official color of moon shadow pack. I observed the gates and the men who stood there wearily and then turned to Brian. I gave the Beta a short nod and together, we approached the gates."Halt! Who would approach the gates of Alpha Nathan the reveled and wise
Ethan's P.O.VMila flashed a look at my direction only for once as she walked proudly to the table where Alpha Nathan sat. She plopped herself into one of the chairs not too far from the cunning Alpha. Brian turned to look at me questionably but I chose to remain silent. Not yet. This was not the ideal time to unleash my rage so I held it back carefully. It was when Mila sat down that her eyes met mine and we stared at each other for a while. Her lips were curled into that evil grin that had always given me a feeling that she was up to no good. I took control of my feelings and steadied my heart beat and then unclenched the hard fists my hands had balled into. "No greetings for your Alpha Mila?" Nathan asked. "We're not barbarians here Mila. My pride is hurt." He pouted, faking sadness. "Ethan." Mila called out to me sharply. "Mila." I replied coldly. And that was the only greetings that passed between us. "There, there now that was a fine greeting. Unions like this warm my heart
Ethan's P.O.VThe sound was coming from the bedroom, I was sure of this. I quietly stood up and tiptoed to where Brian slept on the couch. The man was in a sitting position, leaning back and was already fast asleep. "Brian..." I called quietly with a little nudge and that was enough. The man opened his eyes immediately. His focus returned at once with urgency as if he was not even sleeping to begin with."Someone's coming." I whispered to him."Where?" Brian asked, his eyes darting around the dark room in alarm.I pressed a finger to my lips and motioned to the bedroom. We had put the lights out before sleeping and the whole room was in darkness. Even as we listened, the window lock was unlocked with a soft click and our vigilant ears could hear the swishing of the intruder's clothes as they let themselves into the room.I beckoned Brian and together we crept quietly towards the bedroom door. Even though the room was in darkness, our sharp and keen eyes heightened by our werewolf nat
Elena's P.O.VMy heart was really troubled. Logan's mood had changed significantly since the day he came back from the meeting with Ethan. Logan would wake up and begin to throw tantrums with me taking the bulk and weight of the rage. Although I tried countless times to warm him up to me but his rage was simply persistent. He refused to talk about his visit to the blood moon pack and no one seemed to know what made him so angry. Initially I thought I would get my answer from his Beta, Zain but Zain was also a victim of his rage the moment he returned and that was a dead end for me.Logan came to bed late at night when he thought I was asleep already and would rise early the next day before I could get up. He was avoiding me and this had been going on for days. On this particular day, he was in his study where he spent most of his days and I decided that I was going to get him talking no matter what. I knocked on the door loudly and then tried the door. The door was not locked from
