Rejected by her mate, Isabella was forced to be the substitute to her Alpha’s daughter into marrying the deformed, gruesome and ruthless lycan Alpha that led the strongest pack in all over the land.
View MoreISABELLA“Who told you to come to my office?” He bellowed, his deep voice echoing around the hallway.But I just cried.“You can’t cry about this! This marriage is just on paper! You knew very well that this is just an arrangement!””I-I know… I know… b-but I just thought…””What?!”I flinched, fearing the way he was bursting out in anger in front of me. There was nothing gentle in those eyes anymore. All in there were those familiar disgust and hatred I’ve always received since I was in Lunar Pack.How did I even get the delusion that this time will be different?”That we will have a proper relationship? Wake up, Isabella! I can’t form a relationship with you!”Tears
ISABELLABut why would he?Did something come up? Did I do something wrong?What happened that changed his mind?I could only think of the very few moments we were together. And yet all I could remember was his possessiveness when he saw me looking at Clyde. How he protected me from Regina. How he asked me first whether I wanted to marry him, basically giving me the freedom to decide despite Alpha Hans commanding me to do it. How warm he was around me, and how he kissed my head gently, as if in comfort when he thought I couldn’t sleep.He was nothing like the stories I’ve heard about him. Sure, there was some sort of coldness and stoic presence around him, but he was not heartless nor ruthless. He was gentle and comforting.Being with me almost felt natural for him. And that feeling transcended to me, which made me
ISABELLA“Have you seen Blake?” Lianne asked when the Beta just suddenly vanished after the beer pong competition we won.The three of us are now sitting on one of the tables set inside the wide forest clearing.It amazed me how they turned this forest clearing into a great place like this. Fairy lights were hung around the trees and on top of our heads as if there was a roof above us. The bright moon and the stars were also helping with the nice ambiance along with the nearby campfire.Music was blaring, people were dancing, playing and chatting. Everything just seems so enjoyable, but I couldn’t seem to fully have fun with it. My mind is still elsewhere.”Have you seen Blake?” Lianne repeated when Kyla and I didn’t speak. I looked at her and saw her eyes wandering around the place.”H
ISABELLA“What a bummer! We didn’t even have our turn to touch the Staff!” Lianne exclaimed as we walked in the grounds after we were dismissed.It turned out that half of the trainees had the same plan as us: to wait until later to get our own time with the Staff. But until Officer Kent announced that they would soon close the Weaponry, the other trainees started crowding the Staff again. Officer Kent had to break the crowd off and dismiss us earlier than intended because of the chaos that was starting.“Yeah, but we’ll get to it next time. Maybe we can trick Blake into letting us in sometime.” The girls giggled at their idea as I just smiled at them.The call never stopped while we stayed there. I decided not to bother myself with it, but it just became clearer and clearer. It was disorienting me in a way, as I felt some sort of en
ISABELLA”Were you talking to Gracie and Shanine?”Kyla asked as soon as I approached them. I nodded, realizing the other girl’s name was Shanine.“Yeah, we accidentally bumped into each other.” I decided not to give out all the details.Kyla nodded but still followed the smaller figures of the two who were walking away from the grounds. We saw them get inside the small breakfast shop just right around the pack cafeteria.“Did they do anything to you?” I shook my head.“You sure? Those girls are up to no good.” I just shook my head again and smiled at them.“Yeah. Come on, I’m excited for today.” As if on instinct, Lianne and Kyla grabbed each of my arms and encircled theirs with mine.I smiled to
ISABELLAThat didn’t happen. The entire day, Logan was busy. Until the next day, and the next and the next.I hadn’t even noticed as a week flew by, and I’ve never seen him again.“He’s still out of the pack.”I flinched and looked at Blake who suddenly came inside the kitchen. He was holding a mug, the aroma of his coffee filled the air.“I-I wasn’t asking.” I faced my breakfast again and started eating, even when I didn’t have much of an appetite.Blake chuckled and took a seat beside me.”He gave me orders to stay and lead the pack as of now that he’s away. He’s finishing up the alliances we’ve made all throughout the year. But he’ll be back before you know it.””
ISABELLA“This is your room.”I looked at the bright room that had white and baby blue curtains inside. There was also a balcony that faced the thick and large trees of the pack.I smiled to myself when I could see the top of the heads of the lycan and werewolf statute from the town square.”Thank you. This is beautiful.”Blake chuckled. “It’s great that you like it.”I nodded. “Thanks again.”Blake suddenly tapped my head. “You enjoy yourself. Don’t let anything else bother you, alright? You’re one of us now.”I just nodded, knowing he saw how bothered I got the moment we were alone outside the king’s office.I just couldn’t help feeling little once again. I just knew
LOGAN“You did not Mark her.””Why should I?”Father stared at me for a while, his dark gazes trying to read me.I clenched my fists, displaying nothing but stoic emotions in my face.He sighed and stood up from his seat. He started picking a book among his hundreds of shelves.He wasn’t much of a reader, nor was this his office. It was Mother’s. He just liked staying here since we lost her. He even became a reader because of it.”The agreement was you having a wife before becoming king—“”And I have that now.” He shook his head and closed the book he was holding.“That is no wife, Logan. That is a servant, urged to marry someone she barely knew. She was commanded to follow her mas
ISABELLAI slid inside the car when Alpha Logan opened the door for me.I watched him, but a firm line was on his lips.What happened?“Good morning, Isa. I hope you had a great sleep.”My attention snapped towards Blake and saw him smiling brightly. His cheery demeanor is the total opposite of the latter.It made me smile back at him. “Good morning, Beta Blake—“”Nu-uh,” he raised a finger. “If I get to call you Isa, you have to call me Blake. Just Blake.”I nodded slowly, making him smile once again. “Okay, Blake.”He grinned. ”You’re cute.”I blushed.“Drive.”B
”Isabella,”I flinched as the gates of my room rattled. A guard stood there with his spear in hand, all dressed for the ceremony that is about to happen in the pack.”Regina is waiting for her bath. Hurry up.” I nodded immediately and hurried with my clothing. He stood by the gates, and I sighed in relief when at least he decided to turn his back when I started putting on the dress that I was assigned to wear for today.”I’m done,” I said and rubbed a hand on the silk blue dress that hung around my rather malnourished body. I was grateful it still hung around what little chest I have and hips. Anton, one of the Alpha’s guards, looked me up and down. I fidgeted, feeling uncomfortable. I know I didn’t look much. Regina always said I couldn’t get any guy to like me because I didn’t know how to take care of myself. The thought didn’t bother me much today, though. Even the guard’s careful inspection. Because today is my birthday, and I get to see my mate. I’m excited since I could feel...
