All Chapters of My Mysterious Mate: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

ISABELLA'S POV ~What the hell was happening? This couldn’t be real, could it? Had I finally lost my mind? Right before my eyes, Ryan had transformed into a wolf — not just a wolf, but a freakishly large one that seemed to take up the entire hallway. Something I've never envisioned he could actually shift into.A low, menacing growl echoed through the empty building, sending a chill down my spine and freezing me in place. My jaw hit the floor as I gawked at the monster in front of me. Had I been transported into a horror movie, or was this some kind of twisted nightmare?In my panic-induced haze, I found myself thinking the most absurd thoughts. Maybe this was all some kind of elaborate prank? Maybe Ryan was just a really good actor, and he’d gotten ahold of some high-tech special effects? Or maybe I’d eaten some bad pizza before bed, and this was just a hallucination brought on by food poisoning? Or perhaps I was running insane? What. Was. Happening?!!Whatever it was, I knew one thi

ISABELLA'S POV ~Pain. It was the only sensation I could register as my body underwent a strange metamorphosis. The moment the voice echoed in my mind, I felt a thunderclap that sent shockwaves of energy coursing through my body. Every fiber of my being screamed to get free, to break the bonds that kept me prisoner, to race to Ryan’s side and save him from the agony he was in. My bones snapped like twigs, my muscles writhed and twisted, reshaping themselves with a power far beyond my control. Every inch of my skin burned like it was being peeled away and rebuilt from the inside out. My flesh and blood intertwined with the arcane magic of my wolf, and the agony that came with it was like nothing I had ever experienced before.My mind was being torn apart, both by the excruciating physical torment and the influx of primal, feral instincts that threatened to overtake me. But I fought back against the pain, against the darkness, clinging to a single thought: Ryan. I had to save him. I ha

RYAN'S POV~The sudden crash jolted my senses awake, my wolf flinching before I could even register the noise. My ears strained to pick up the source of the sound, my body tensed and ready to spring into action. My eyes snapped open with full force, my gaze darting around the room, but the source of the clatter remained elusive. The sound of angry voices arguing outside filtered through the air, sending my already heightened senses into overdrive. My brows furrowed deeply, confusion clouding my mind, until the sharp pang of antiseptics hit me.The smell of medicines stung my nostrils, the steady beeping of a heart monitor filling the air. I flinched again, my hand instinctively flying to my temple, my fingers rubbing the pulsing pain away. Slowly, I pushed myself up, my body still on high alert. One thought consumed my mind - Isabella. Where was she? My heart raced, fear and concern warring for dominance. The realization that this wasn't my home twisted in my gut like a knife, only ad

ISABELLA'S POV ~I groaned as the harsh sunlight streamed through the window, its rays stabbing into my eyes. I fought the urge to open my eyes, turning away from the intrusive light. The soft mattress beneath me yielded to my body's movements, cradling me as I exhaled and stretched, my muscles rippling like a cat arching its back in the warmth of the sun. But then, something changed.A chill ran down my spine, like icy fingers trailing over my skin. My body froze, my heart racing.The silence of the hospital ward suddenly felt like a threat, as though a presence was lurking in the shadows. Where was everyone? Ryan? The nurses? Panic fluttered in my chest, rising like a storm. Without thinking, I threw off the covers and leapt out of the bed, racing for the door. The urgency pulsed through my veins, my feet pounding against the cold floor."Shit!" I cursed, my hand seizing the door handle. Just as my hand closed around the door handle, the heavy door swung open, and I crashed into a

ISABELLA'S POV ~I focused on the laptop in front of me, refusing to let Cindy’s poisonous words derail me from my task. But my fingers trembled on the keyboard.I wished more than anything that I could disappear, escape from the judgmental eyes that bore into me from all sides. Despite the turmoil roiling inside me, I forced myself to concentrate on the task at hand.The parent-child center project was depending on me, and I refused to be deterred. I couldn't lose any more time to distractions. The time I had lost during my kidnapping still haunted me, and I knew I couldn't afford any more setbacks.As the whispers grew louder, I could feel my blood pressure begin to rise. I gripped the sides of the keyboard, willing myself to stay focused. Suddenly, a voice resounded, "What's going on here?"The question hung in the air, a silence falling over the room. I felt my stomach twist as my eyes flickered up, meeting the piercing gaze of Noah. His hands were shoved into his pockets, his ex
