All Chapters of Protecting the Wolfless Enigma: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Izariah-“Careful!” I warned her when she wrapped her arms around me and squeezed tightly.“Oh right. I heard about what happened. You are the talk of the school right now. They have an ongoing bet on whether you are going to return. A lot of them don’t think you will but their reason is that they don’t think you belong here.” Millie said with sadness in her eyes.“Don’t worry, I am going to prove them all wrong. Who says someone like me can’t get the education they get?” I smiled at her.I really have missed her, and wished we were able to spend more time together. Yet right now, I couldn’t because I need to get ready for work. Grabbing my bags, from where the driver placed them, with Millie carrying one, we went to our room.“Tell me all about your trip.” Millie rushed out in one breath before the door shut behind her.“I will tell you about it later, I need to get ready for work.”“Can I join? I have a little experience with work. My family believes that I needed to learn how to wo

Izariah-When I arrived at the party the next day, I felt completely out of place. I hadn’t seen Jace yet and I kept getting stares from everyone else. The only reason I even decided to come here was that I was told that Jace wanted me to come.“Why is she here?” I heard someone ask, but I didn’t look to see who said it.“Maybe she is here as the maid or to serve us. That is the only thing that would make sense.” Another person said with a snicker.I wanted to turn around and leave, only because I had been under the impression that this would only be a small gathering. It wasn’t like he specified, so it was my fault for not thinking that a party to them was nothing compared to the parties I have been to. There had to be at least three hundred or more.The house was flooded and so was the front and back yard. That was saying a lot since this house was humongous. I could fit my entire pack inside this house and still have room for the neighboring pack.“I didn’t think you would make it.

Braxton-When the door opened, I lazily looked up to see who entered. It was just Rachel, so I looked back at the pool table, where it was my turn to shoot the ball. I had already figured out which ball I was going to try to get in the pocket, so all I had to do was line up my shot.Leaning over more, I steadied the hand that I was using to guide the stick. Bringing my eye level down, I took my aim. Just as I was about to hit the ball Lex let out a slow whistle, I once again glanced up.What I saw shocked me, and I ended up jerking my hand that was holding the base of the stick. Rachel had stepped aside, and Izariah was standing in the doorway, looking gorgeous. If I had known she was capable of looking this good, I would have done things differently.A single word raced through my mind on repeat, and I couldn’t ignore it. Mine. It wasn’t even my voice that I was hearing, it sounded more like a wolf, if wolves could talk. I wouldn’t even say the word had been spoken, it was more like

Izariah- After Rachel said her father wanted her to leave, Jace took it off speakerphone and held the phone to his ear. I was curious about what she was saying, but since I didn’t have supernatural hearing, I couldn’t eavesdrop. Only getting a few short words from what Jace was saying, I couldn’t really follow along. During the call, I could see his jaw muscles tighten and relax repeatedly. It didn’t take much to figure out that he wasn’t happy with what he was hearing. My heart sank to my stomach when he got off the phone because I knew I was going to need to let him go. It wasn’t because I had feelings for him, but it was because I viewed him as a friend. “You love her, don’t you?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. I didn’t get a response from him right away, but a few moments later he nodded his head. “As much as I wish I didn’t, I do. I admit I do feel something for you, but I have never stopped loving her. The idea of her leaving again doesn’t sit well with me. I had

Izariah-Who would have thought that the one I hated the most would be the very one I needed to keep myself from thinking about Jace and Rachel leaving? We barely made it past the gate and already he amused me. A mother was pushing her young child in a stroller and the kid reached out and grabbed Braxton’s hand.I thought it was adorable, but Braxton reacted quickly by yanking his hand from the child’s and then quickly stepping around me, using me as a shield. He did say that he has never been to an amusement park, but I believed it was more than that. If I had to guess, he has never been somewhere where ordinary people go.“Is he okay?” The mother asked me as she eyed Braxton with concern.“Don’t mind him, he isn’t very good around others.” I meant that in every way possible, and I was sure that Braxton got my hidden meaning based on the way he scoffed at me.The mother and child lingered, as if the mother were trying to solve a mystery. After a bit, she shrugged her shoulders and wa
