All Chapters of Mated to the Rogue Alpha: Chapter 141 - Chapter 150

Isabella.Hours later, I sat on the couch of the living room. My hands were warmed by the ceramic cup I held in my hands filled with hot cocoa, my comfort drink.I was fully dressed and clean, rid of the feeling of disgust. It took almost an hour to scrub myself clean. I had shed tears while doing so, scrubbing hard regardless of injuries and focusing on ridding every feeling away. I had scrubbed the part of my neck he had touched the most. Now it was red and sensitive.Despite everything else, all I felt was calm. No, calm wasn't the right word. I felt numb. It must have been my way of processing all that had happened to me.I hadn't felt this way, even back in the forest. Then I had cried, fully expressive of my pain and the loss I had felt. It was that grief that had made Violet bury herself inside back then.But now she was in there, growling and snapping in her defenses in full force all the while I just felt… nothing.Perhaps it was my way of coping with what happened. My way of

Isabella.Another uproar started right after, the crowd raving horribly loud. The noises merged into a cursed cacophony.Amidst the noise, he turned towards us, so we could only see and gave the most arrogant smile.It took several minutes for them to be cooled to silence, all the while I tried to get rid of the dread.The Elders whispered for a moment before Elder Azur spoke when everywhere was calmed down.“Both sides are terrifyingly convincing, and I… it is quite difficult for the Council to make an instantaneous judgment now.”“If I may, Elder, I propose that we take this to the jury, don't we? They are here for a reason.”Without any hesitation, he turned to the crowd. “Whose testimony will you support? The beta who has assisted in this pack's matters and helped through everything? Or her?”He turned toward me, a sneer on his visible face.“A woman who abandoned her pack on her whims and came back with her wedlock rogue child?"The uproar from the crowd was louder than ever, an

Isabella.I told them the moment they came home.My mother was fierce and riled up, demanding if it was because of the case. I watched in silence as she refused.“It may partly be the case that brought this up, but it's something that needs to be done."“No. You don't have to go anywhere anymore." She shook her head.I looked toward my father who looked more affirming of my mother's words than mine.“Mom, please understand. You saw as well as I did how Darius was able to get everyone on his side. ” I looked at her, hoping she would see sense.She shook her head fiercely. “We're here, we'll protect you.”“I'll protect you." I remembered Connor's words the day he was convincing me to leave. They had tried their best, but it wasn't enough.It probably never was, no matter how hard I wanted it to be.“Do you think it'll be enough, mom?" I finally let out.Looking up at her, I found her finally stilling, as though processing my words.It wasn't a decision I had taken lightly. I had spent

Isabella.We stood there, staring for each other for what felt like hours.“H…hi." I finally spoke, cutting out the silence whilst still keeping my eyes on him.He stood so still, I could have sworn it was my imagination. I stayed wide eyed with the silly thought that the image in front of me would disappear the moment I blinked.Thankfully after seconds of silence, the statue moved and the spell was broken.He looked away, eyes brushing through me before looking back up. I couldn't help but blush at his gaze. It was something unobtrusive yet shivers ran through me buried in the oversized cream corduroy turtleneck I wore.“I… it's good to see you. After–”“–6 years,” I cut in without much thought.The atmosphere was silent before he chuckled.The sound was like a pleasant ringing to my ears. I looked up to see a smile on his face. It wasn't a large one, solely his lips stretched out and eyes slightly crinkled in a comfortable gesture.Yet the sight brought a skip to my heart, and the

Isabella.I drifted through the apartment, making sure everything was in order for what was the 20th time.Every other second was spent looking at the door anxiously, only to face the still inanimate door in a staring match.I pulled myself out of the 'staring match' again, looking around and assuring myself.“Everything will be okay. Everywhere is okay, Izzy, so just calm down." I talked myself down. I was glad that nobody else was present as at this moment, I must have looked like a crazy person.But I indeed had a right to be freaking out. Because today was the first out of hopefully other days.The first day Leo was going to meet Treasure again.FLASHBACK. I stood in stunned silence as his words entered my ears.He wanted to be a part of Treasure's life?It felt like a balloon was inside me. It filled me up, partly suffocating. I was sure that was the same thing bringing the sting of tears to my eyes.It was joy.“... Sorry."I blinked back to existence, looking straight at him.
