To spill the truth… or not?

Isabella.I should have known, should have expected the words to leave him. Why else would he have come here?Yet, it still felt like a punch to hear those words.I turned toward Connor who was still focused on Leo, eyes diverted away from me.“It's not that easy,” I wanted to say. There was a reason why I left after all.I turned to Leo to see his face shuttered. Rather than his usual blank expression, it felt more forced somehow. Just the sight alone brought my worries. I wanted to know what was wrong.Before I could take any action, Leo spoke.“Well then, that is up to the both of you. I won't punish you for breaking into my pack, just this once. But I will be keeping an eye on you.”Wasting no seconds, Leo turned away immediately after speaking, leaving with Sierra at his heels.I couldn't lie, the way he had dismissed it hurt. He hadn't even spared a glance at me, leaving a small ache in my heart.‘Hadn't he ever cared?’ I wondered.I didn't have the luxury of thought when I met

Connor’s response.

Isabella.I told him everything, from the day of my running away and what had happened after. I told him of how I ran to the city and struggled to keep it over my head while also dealing with pregnancy. I told him of everything that happened after, omitting Sierra's past behavior, up till her providing a job.The only other thing I omitted was Leo and his relationship with Treasure. His presence was already overwhelming and filled with aggression at everyone already. Knowing that truth was not going to help at all.Once I was done talking, I waited for him to process everything. The tension was high and though I breathed normally, my breaths were still withheld.Connor sat opposite me, legs on the floor as he sat on the bed. I could read his expression easily. He was openly conflicted from the rhythmic jaw clenching, his thinking face not showing anything.The presence of a familiar feature, the look on his face was what brought me to remember that he was actually handsome.It occurre

Decision hour.

IsabellaI walked the lone hallways. Were I truly noticing I would have taken the time to admire the place, and probably store every image in the crevices of my mind. But I wasn't.Instead, I was lost deep in my head, circling around every word that Connor had said.I had built a life here, a life I was preparing to leave now, but a life nonetheless.It was already difficult and under extreme circumstances that I had decided to leave. Still then, I had expected that I would stay alone, remaining a rogue, with Treasure.Until Connor came.I hadn't even asked him about how he found me. There was no chance to, anyway. After he had asked his question with hopeful eyes staring at me, I couldn't say a word to him.Were I a weaker person, tears would have stung my eyes solely out of the frustration. But I was not, and neither was I a good one, because seconds after he had asked that question, I still remained silent, mouth agape with no words leaving them.What could I say?He let my hands g

Uncomfortable realization.

Leo.She looked beautiful.It was something I could acknowledge that easily now, with no hesitation. It was a fact as true as the sky was blue.Her white hair shone like a halo, framing her face and her deep brown eyes.She looked stricken, surprised at my presence. I shouldn't have been surprised, but it still hurt nonthenless. I missed her smiles which came so easy before, as bright as her hair.But I shouldn't miss them. I didn't deserve them. Never have.I tried to smile despite my bleak thoughts, but I was confident that it looked more like a grimace instead. I dropped it soon after, unable to keep up the pretences.“How are…” I trailed off as I was unable to continue my sentence.‘How are you doing?’ I wanted to say.‘Don't you dare ask that question’, my doubts told me.My demons had taken a new shape. Gone was the image of the wolf I had feared. After that day of the full moon, all I feared was gone like a wisp of smoke. And it was all thanks to her.Was it not ironic? She had

Knowing how she feels.

Isabella.I waited for him to leave before I crashed.The moment he was far out of earshot and I knew he was gone, I let myself go.My knees collapsed, too weak to hold me anymore. My legs touched the polished wood floor, the cool sensation grounding me. My palms hit the floor in loud thumps, nails almost raised to scratch futilely at the floors.My eyes burned with the tears I held back. I fought the urge to cry, and it worked for the most part.Only one tear streaked down my cheek as I closed my eyes, breathing deeply and heavily to compact myself.Slowly I stood, leading myself by memory automatically to my room. I crashed onto the bed, curling myself in.I thanked the moon goddess that Treasure was gone with Agathe. He was somewhere safe, somewhere distant where he won't be able to feel the utter devastation that ran through me through the bond.I didn't cry, not wanting to break the promise I had made to myself. Instead, I shook in dry sobs, whimpers leaving me that echoed within

Self-hatred.

Leo.“Please, please.” The bloodied man cried ou. Arms which were struggling with restraints strained as he attempted to shield himself.I stood over him in silence. My fists ached, but I wasn't done yet.“Please stop. I beg of you.” He cried out, whimpering pathetically.Disgust bubbled up inside me as I looked at him whimpering.“Did you?” I asked. “Did you stop when those girls and women you took and ambushed were crying out for help?”A sick, twisted pleasure curled up in me at how the man visibly flinched.“Did you stop when you used your strength against them? Took them against their will?” My words were venom, burning through him in a way the wounds he bore didn't. They were already healing, his supernatural healing kicking in.“I-I-I'm sorry.” He cried out.My face curled up into a smile. It was a smile I had rarely given, only reserved for the worst of the worst, the people I thought were less than scum.And this man, who had used his werewolf strength to assault multiple wom

Goodbye.

Isabella.I grunted as I brought the last of the luggage to the front of the house, standing up fully.Everything was done.I turned to my baby on the chair, taking him into my arms.“Mama,” Treasure gargled, wriggling in my arms as he always did when he wanted to play.I did my best to subdue him, pressing kisses onto his forehead until he relaxed into a bout of toothless giggles.“No playing today, darling,” I whispered to him, carrying him in my arms as the car drove to the front of the house. Just in time.Connor stepped out of the car, looking at the both of us.Since I had accepted, Connor had made the plans to leave.It took only three days. For the remainder of the days I spent around the house, memorizing the view. The other times I was with Connell, talking to him and bringing Treasure who took to him easily.I barely saw any of the siblings within the house. I spent time with Agathe, keeping her company in the kitchen. The only time I saw Sierra was in the evenings for din

Finally home.

Leo.I watched as the car disappeared from view.The tingling sensation on my cheek eased it a bit, but I felt my pulse run faster through it all.Everyone else left. Agathe retired to bed, claiming that she was tired, but I knew better. I saw the sadness in her eyes as she stepped back, it looked like she had lost a child.I watched her go in silence, bidding everyone else goodbye as they went to their homes.Soon it was only Sierra and I that stood on the porch of the house, staring at an empty space. She sat on the staircase, staring with a faraway look in her eyes. I walked to join her, sitting beside her only to feel her lean onto me.“She'll be happy there.” She said.I wasn't sure if she was trying to reassure me, or herself. I swallowed the lump in my throat, giving her a nod.“Yes. Yes she will,” I said despite the feeling I had inside. The feeling of loss, of having a part of me stripped away.But it was alright.I turned to see Sierra's gaze on me. For the first time, her

A strange, yet familiar environment.

Isabella.There were visions. Visions and images of different things. A wolf's howl, running through the forest, falling asleep under dark warmth. When I opened my eyes, I saw darkness staring at me. Yet, I wasn't afraid. Under the light of the full moon, the darkness remained welcoming.That was when I realized it wasn't just darkness.A pair of eyes opened through the shadows, and I was met with glowing red.I woke up startled and scrambling, only to stop at the brightness that I saw.The place was so foreign. Desk was placed wrong, the walls were a bright cream rather than the deep brown wood I was used to. I began panicking, wondering where I was.The memories came back to me in a matter of seconds, making me relax.I was home.Not the home I had gotten used to with Sierra, Leo, and Agathe but my real home. My pack with my parents.I looked down at the sheets I fisted. They were a bright cream with patterns of mistletoe leaves smattered all over it. It was the same sheets I had be

Meeting the Alpha.

IsabellaIt was custom and a rule to see the Alpha when entering a new pack. It was disrespectful otherwise.This may have still been my pack at heart, but I had been gone for more that a year and was more or less a rogue now. It was only right that I did the same.Smoothing down the lines of the dress, I looked at myself for one last time.I wore a dress in my favourite shade of starry blue, it was one of the ones Sierra had picked out for me. The reminder was like air before I collected myself, moving out of my room with Treasure in tow.My parents saw when I stepped down. I saw the tears in my mother's eyes.“My darling. You've changed.” She gasped out.I nodded, smiling at both of them. Together, they led me toward the guards.“We are coming with you.” My father said to my surprise. My mother nodded to show her support to his words also. I looked at her in surprise and relief that I wasn't going to face them alone.The guards nodded and led me out.The path to the Alpha's house c
