All Chapters of My Mysterious Mate: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

ISABELLA'S POV ~It was as if time itself had frozen, the world entirely coming to a halt around me. My resignation letter was crumpled in my hand like a piece of trash, a symbol of all my hard work and sacrifice being thrown away. I tried to hold back my own tears, but they threatened to spill forth and betray my façade of strength and determination. I knew this was the right decision, the only way to avoid the inevitable pain and torment that awaited me in the Moon Pack. But the finality of it all was crushing, the realization that I was leaving behind a life I had worked so hard to build.But I knew that the sacrifice was necessary, that I had to protect myself from the darkness that awaited me in the Moon Pack.The mere thought of my father made my blood boil and my heart turn to stone. He was nothing more than a shadow of a man, a monster who had caused so much pain and suffering in my life. The idea of ever laying eyes on him again made my skin crawl, and the thought of being a

ISABELLA'S POV ~The heavy breath escaped my lips for what felt like the millionth time that night, as I struggled to find a comfortable position in the soft, cold bed. Despite my endless tossing, my mind refused to settle down, thoughts of the Winter Fall Pack swarming like a hive of bees in my head. Was I really going to accept James' invitation to go there? To the place where Ryan's parents dwelled? The prospect filled me with a mixture of dread and uncertainty, as if my future was hanging by a thread.I was just about to drift off into a fitful sleep, when a sharp, sudden crash erupted from outside my door. My eyes snapped open in the darkness, widened in alarm. My fingers gripped the edge of the bed as I listened intently, my heart pounding, waiting for another sign. The hair on the back of my neck stood on end, my wolf senses heightened, as I cautiously crawled from the bed and tiptoed to the door.My hand rested on the doorknob, my breath held in anticipation as I strained to p

ISABELLA'S POV~“Do you think I'm beautiful, mama?" My heart was racing as I spun around, my eyes fixed on my mother's face, waiting for her reaction. The dress, a beautiful shade of champagne, hugged my figure perfectly, the sequins catching the light and sparkling like stars. It was a dream dress for every exquisite lady, a dress one would dream of wearing in her life. For a moment, my mother just stared, her lips parted slightly in surprise. She took a breath and stood up, her eyes never leaving my body."You look..." Her voice trailing off as she came closer. "More than fabulous. You're so beautiful, my Bella. Do you know sometimes I wonder if I'm your biological mother?""Mom, stop!" I burst forth into giggles and sniffles as I walked closer to her.I wrapped my arms around her, trying to lighten the mood. "You're flattering me. Thank you."But as I kissed her forehead, I saw her frown, and my heart sank. She was silent, and I could tell she was holding something back. I pursed

ISABELLA'S POV ~My cheeks burned scarlet as Linda's gaze flicked back to me, disgust flickering in her eyes.” My heart raced at Linda's exaggerated sigh and disdainful headshake."You're Isabella?" Linda's mocking tone stung like a slap, causing my eyes to water."Y-Yes, your Majesty," I stammered, forcing a weak smile that crumbled under her icy stare."So you're the Omega that seduced my son? You're the girl of no status?" she continued, her words hitting me like daggers. "Finally I've gotten to meet you."Her gaze pierced me, my stomach churning with discomfort.She tutted, disgust dripping from her voice. "And this is the girl that my son claims to love?"Linda's words stabbed at my chest, her mockery roiling my insides. My knuckles turned white as I clung to my dress, desperate to conceal my trembling. I fought to maintain my outward composure, but her gaze cut through me like a knife. "You're not worthy to be here, in this palace, in my presence... You're not worth it, do you

MAY’S POV~“Hey!" I waved at the strange lady. The strange lady gave me a slight nod of acknowledgment, then flashed a smile so sweet that my heart melted. It was hard to believe that someone with her beauty and presence could also have such a commanding aura.I forced a wide smile, but as I watched her, my gaze lingered just a bit too long. Her smile lingered too.I shrugged awkwardly. "I'm sorry for the mess out there. Those guys were getting way too aggressive, trying to force me to drink with them and exchange contacts. When I resisted, they started hurling disgusting insults at me.I gave her a nervous chuckle, trying to brush it off. "But thanks for coming to my rescue," I said. She just nodded, her smile still intact.It was then that I realized that my palms were sweating and my heart was racing. I took a deep breath and forced myself to calm down. I didn't even realize that all these while I was getting so worked up. Sure, she was gorgeous, but I'd never felt this way before
