LeoShe wasn't different, if not for her hair, once slightly past shoulder length, had grown longer, enough to sweep into a ponytail. But no, instead, it flowed down, slightly haggard but remained neat all the same. It looked more ethereal than anything, akin to a fairy.“You're back.” She said. I fought a smile on my face at the obvious she stated, proving that she was stunned, if not processing my presence.It was alright though, I was doing the same after all.Her scent was warm and comforting, and for the first time, I resisted the urge to come closer. A strange thought considering that I had never wanted to embrace anyone aside from Sierra.There were these thoughts again.It was homesickness, surely. She… she reminded me of home.I swallowed.“You look the same,” I said, swallowing at the lack of words to say, like it always was during times like this.“So, how much of a troublemaker was my sister?” I said, shifting the topic to Sierra. We were always more comfortable when it ca

Isabella’s POVMy thoughts raced around gaps I couldn't understand.Pressure came onto my shoulders gripping hard. Each sensation felt muted.“Hey! Isabella.” A voice called out.“Breathe… please breathe…”I shook my head. It… he didn't understand.“I…can't…” I choked out. “Focus on me. Hey! Look at me, okay? What can you see? Five colors.”Colors? “Trust me on this. Can you tell me five colors?”My sight was shaky, fixated on the image I saw.The first thing I saw was blue. One which sparked almost golden. It was the image of the sea as the sun came up. The second I saw was black. Seas and rifts that came near waves. It wasn't though, rather strands stuck out.The third thing, as I looked down, was black. The lines of the collar were so intricate, even its color couldn't hide the layers of threading.The fourth thing was the creamy color of skin. It was arm, the pores visible, and yet, smooth.The fifth and last thing I saw was peak, lips cracked tooth tinted peach, slightly cracke

Isabella's POV Silence filled the kitchen as the word was spoken. Agathe stared at me, surprise evident at the current situation.One would have thought there was someone else in the vicinity, someone like Leo, who at hearing himself as the core topic of discussion, instantly objected, throwing us both in for a loop.It could have been Sierra, who for some unknown reason came back and heard us in the kitchen, didn't want us discussing her brother. I would have been subjected to her ire, especially after the events that happened only minutes ago on the porch.But it was neither of those. There was nobody standing at the door of the kitchen, or anyone else at all. Leo was likely still in his room, Sierra hadn't returned, and it was only Agathe and I alone in the kitchen.It took me a few moments to find that it came out, not from anybody else's lips, but mine. It took me another second to stand by my words.“Agathe,” I began. “I honestly think that there's no need to tell me. After all

Isabella's POV I ended up chatting with Claire and even greeted Lola on the way. With what was a call for half an hour, I had finally gotten something done for Leo.I retired to sleep, only for knocks to come on my door. I opened the door to find Sierra on the other side.The air was awkward in every way. We both sat there in silence, only the slight sounds of our breaths present.“I'm sorry.” She said. I stayed silent as she continued. “For lashing out like that. I'm sorry.”I had my own thoughts in mind, especially with what she had said regarding bringing me as a way to merge the packs. It reminded me of what Damian had said all those months ago.Coming to a conclusion after that was easy. I was the only outlier. Despite being a rogue, I wasn't part of the pack, and I was alien from the animosity that was bred between both packs. It was no surprise why she… or they chose me to go into their pack.My thoughts went back to the time in the living room, when she said that she thought o

LeoShe said nothing else, and I didn't too.Soon the silence became heavy, yet as I glanced, she stayed silent.Waiting.‘What are you afraid of?’ I wasn't sure if it was my thoughts, or him. It could have been both of us, as I couldn't dispute it.I felt comfortable with her. And for the first time, I realized that I didn't mind her knowing my truth.“My father was a rogue wolf, from what is now known as the Red Eclipse pack. He and the Alpha were raised together, practically close as brothers. And then, my father fell in love."I looked up, the scope of tiny specs continuously floating above the abyss."My mother was also a rogue. She never told us any details, but my father used to say she was running away from some bad men when she met him. Their former pack couldn't let him be with her. So, he left.”I swallowed despite the dry feeling in my throat before I continued.“They went through plenty of hardships, but they found the forest, and decided to build something.It wasn't a p
