Isabella’s pov I was stunned that he had pulled me into a hug, my heart raced in fear and shock wondering why he was acting this way. He immediately pulled away from me in a few seconds and made his way and left, his absence leaving me lonely making me wish he didn't pull away.I still couldn’t take it off my mind that our mates were out there probably having the best time of their lives while we were here trying to heal from the emotional pain.I walked out of the lounge making my way back into the house so that I could at least rest, I’ve had enough for the day and don’t plan on stressing myself any further. I was so engrossed in my thoughts that I didn't realize I took a different route than the one we took when coming to the garden earlier.It was already late when I realized I was lost again and needed to find my way.“Tell me why this place is a freaking maze?” I grunted, staring at the hallway leading to two others, turning around hoping to find any servants or guards that cou
Isabella’s povI stood frozen in shock at his words not knowing what to say.“What are you doing Ethan?” Brian questioned displeased at the punishment I was given, he had a shocked expression on his face as he also wasn’t expecting Ethan to make such an outrageous decision.“What did you just say?” I asked just to ensure that I hadn’t just heard something else.“Do you wish for me to punish you like every other person? You should at least be grateful that I’m being lenient with you.” Ethan questioned staring down at me with a cold gaze.“Not at all, I just wasn’t expecting it.” I blurted still in a daze.“Are you sure about this?” Brian was still bewildered by it.“Take her to her room.” Ethan instructed Brian who immediately stopped asking any questions knowing that Ethan had made his decision.“Your outfit will be sent tomorrow afternoon.” Ethan said to me before Brian led me out of the office. I nodded my head still wondering why he chose to punish me this way, I just quietly follo
Isabella’s pov I was in a daze and taken aback by what this unfamiliar woman had just said as I tried to comprehend what she was talking about.“You’re the shameless slut who is trying so hard to clutch into my brother huh?” She was furious and making her way towards me, I mentally prepared myself for whatever she was about to do, there’s no way I would let anyone take advantage of me again.“What are you talking about ?” I ask her with my brows ached and my face scrunched up in confusion.“How dare you even show your face here huh?” She snapped.“I believe you have it all wrong, I don’t think I’m the one you’re referring to.” I tried to tell her as calmly as I could but the deviant look on her face told me she wasn't going to listen to me.“Nonsense! I know a slut when I see one!” She shrieked coming closer to me and a stench of alcohol hit my nose causing me to scrunch my face even more.“You’re drunk.” I mouthed the obvious and moved away from her.“Are you trying to say you’re be
Isabella’s POVMy heart was thudding faster than usual, marriage?How the hell did we get here?Was this Ethan's plan all along?My mind was racing with millions of questions, marriage is the least thing on my mind right now, after all I've been through he thinks he can just shove marriage down my throat? I must go through with my plans of escaping now more than ever.With that in mind, I composed myself before they found out that this was probably just a set up.“We are yet to determine that.” I quickly answered with a smile before Ethan could say anything stupid, I held on to my sanity l knowing that in a few hours I would be out of here without a single trace.“You two shouldn’t hold back and quit wasting time already.” The woman spoke with a concerned tone while staring at both of us like that of a mother counseling her children.“Of course, you need not worry about it, we are still contemplating it and you need not worry.” Ethan quickly responded not to make the situation awkwar
Isabelle's POV I raced towards the exit of the pack ignoring the rain still pouring down violently, the only thing I could hear were my footsteps and the raging thunder and rustling of the leaves beneath my leg as I ran as fast as I could, I didn’t want Ethan to come back and find out I was nowhere to be found, besides now that it was raining I would be able to cover my scent quite well as it would quickly diminish in the air.Lots of things ran through my mind, I couldn’t help but think of the servants that I couldn’t appreciate for taking care of me, I felt a sort of guilt but now there’s no turning back, I covered my hair as I approached the border when I sighted some werewolves guarding the gate, a sigh of frustration escaped my lips, there was no other exit that I could think of, there were barbed wires if I decided to climb over the wall which was impossible, If I decide to dig below, I would be caught and who knows what sort of traps that must have been laid there.I huffed, t
My mind raced in fear as I thought about what to do, the only thing in my mind was to figure out a way to get out of this situation as soon as possible, every hair on my skin stood in alert as my eyes scanned the area in hopes that I could find an escape route.I took a step back holding on to my backpack as I bit my lower lips trying to remain calm as possible.“Don’t make me ask again.” The guard yelled at me, drawing the attention of the others as they now looked at me with piercing gazes.Darn it, now there was little to no chance of escaping.I gulped as the sweat formed on my forehead started to drip down my face. I stared at him intensely, I knew that if I didn’t say anything right now it wouldn't end well.“Well…. I’m only following my masters out.” I pointed to the bunch of people who had just left me behind, they didn’t seem to be bothered about the yelling and got into their cabs. The guard turned to their direction but didn’t seem to buy my lie, thinking it was a cue to e
I do have a lot in mind, it all depends on you”.He shrugged his shoulders gazing down at me with a blank expression on his face making it quite impossible for me to read his mind. “All depends on me?”What does he mean by that?I couldn’t understand why he would come up with such a thought. Well if he thinks he can just propose revenge and make outrageous demands in return then he is dealing with the wrong person.“Well I do not know if I want to” I said, deciding to play dumb. I didn't want him to know I had that in mind already.I didn't want him to take advantage of me if I jumped on his idea right on the spot because he is supposedly helping me take revenge.“Why? You’re mentally stressed because he had left you for another woman for no good reason, you had also lost your family because they didn’t see a good reason to keep you with them, why not hold on to the hope that I give to you?” He gazed at me with concern.“Hope?” I muttered. “This isn’t enough reason for me to actually
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
