All Chapters of Protecting the Wolfless Enigma: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Izariah-Looking at the keys still in my hand, I felt weird about accepting such a big gift, but I also felt weird about not accepting it. It was clear that it meant a lot to him if I did accept it, I could see the hope in his eyes. But how could I accept it? I didn’t know the first thing about driving it.“I am not asking for anything in return. Think of this as a gift to a new beginning for us. I would like to put the past conflicts, in the past.” Braxton spoke.When he put it that way, I couldn’t refuse, even if I knew that it would be better if I did. Moving my gaze from the keys, I looked up at him and I was torn by the look he was giving me. It looked as if he were worried that I would reject him.“I don’t know how to drive a standard.” I sighed as I wrapped my fingers around the keys, accepting his gift.“That is easy.” His smile alone made me realize that I made the right choice.Before I could ask what he meant, he reached over to grab my hand. He took the keys from me but co

Izariah-Right off the bat and I could hear the condescension in his mother’s voice. My nervousness vanished at seeing and hearing his mother. I was reminded of the dream I saw, and I was filled with resentment for how she treated a child.“I am not even five minutes late mother, just let it go.” Braxton stated as he continued forward, in her direction.“You were supposed to be here before all the guests arrived. Do you know how embarrassing it is to have others wanting to wish you a happy birthday, but I had to explain that you weren’t here? The looks they gave me were full of pity.”“Relax, I doubt they were pitying you. Now, I would like you to meet…” Braxton’s words were cut off when his mother spoke again.“Don’t tell me what they were or weren’t doing. You wouldn’t know since you weren’t here. Just be glad the Alpha King hasn’t arrived yet or his daughter or I would have made sure you regretted this day. Now get inside and stop making me look like a fool.” His mother said just b

Izariah-When the dance was over, I smiled at Jace and took a step back. Lowering myself slightly, I curtsied before facing Braxton’s mother. It didn’t take a genius to know that she was trying to do something to make me feel or look inadequate.It didn’t matter to me either way. I might not have had the same education as her son or his friends, but that didn’t mean I didn’t know a thing or two about proper etiquette. My upbringing wasn’t as extravagant but my mother had always tried to get me the same kind of things that other kids had, like dancing, playing music, proper education and so much more.“I see that you are exceptionally talented. I admit that I am impressed. As much as I wish to see what else you can do, I suppose we should get back to the party.” Braxton’s mother said with her fake smile."But can she paint or draw?” A random voice said from the crowd.It was obvious that it wasn’t just Braxton’s mother that was trying to test me. For a split second, I thought I was in

Izariah-“While they are working on what they are doing, I am going to explain how you can still fight against a werewolf, without a wolf. It isn’t like you are entirely without a wolf, you just can’t access it. If you were completely human, then what I am about to tell you wouldn’t work.” Lex motioned for me to follow him.“I doubt I would do better than a human.” I grumbled, but I followed him anyway.“Don’t think like that. You are much stronger than you realize. Have you forgotten you attacked Braxton? Not only did you surprise us all, but you did injure him. If you were human, you wouldn’t have the strength to so much as bruise us, let alone draw blood as you did.” Lex guided me to the back of the building, through a door that I hadn’t noticed until he opened it.He let me enter first and my eyes nearly popped out when I saw the contents of the room. It was a large gym, with mats covering the center of the room. It had to be at least the size of a football field or at least half

Izariah-I couldn’t believe I made it inside the house without being detected. More than that, I couldn’t believe I managed to get away from Jace, Sebastian, and Lex without them knowing. I have been gone for a couple of hours and I haven’t heard anything from them.I had my phone on me and even though it was on vibrate. I figured if they would have found out I was gone, they would have tried calling me. The fact that they didn’t know I was missing was a good thing.I was able to get inside Braxton’s house without being spotted, so I might be able to get him out. I wasn’t sure where he was being kept, but as soon as I could find the entrance to the basement, I was sure to find him.As I moved through the halls of the large house, I found it weird that I haven’t come across anyone yet. I thought that if Braxton was being kept against his will there would be guards posted around the house. Yet I practically walked in the front door.Okay, technically it was the back door, but shouldn’t
