I took a breath, careful to focus on Treasure as I avoided the stares I felt. Even at the unwanted invitation, I knew I had no choice. Despite the look Sierra gave me, I came all dressed up with my child in tow, unwilling to leave him. The outside world of the pack was bigger than I saw through the car. Filled with special placed trees and houses, it looked like a park and communal space all in one. The downside was the many people who stared at me. I shifted my baby closer to the blue dress I wore. The dress in question I had found once in a thrift store which Clara helped me buy. Even though the maternity dress was bigger than my frame. I'd preferred it as it covered my bump. But feeling others stared, I felt even more self conscious. Was it my oddly white hair that made them look? Was it the dress, the one which I used to cover my frame. I wondered what they must be thinking. Freak. Weird.Ugly.I blinked as Darius's face came to mind, the day he rejected
"The truth is..." I now waited with bated breath, preparing for anything she was going to day. "I didn't like you at first sight." Blinking, I took a breath in. Wow, what a way to break it in. Confusion and, surprisingly, hurt filled me. I could feel Treasure beginning to stir. Afraid of a similar situation in the morning, I took a deep breath and calmed myself before nodding. "Okay." That brought her to snap back. "No, it's not okay." I didn't know what to say, only keeping silent as she ranted. "It was unjustified, and I only realised it too late. The truth is… you reminded me of someone else. Someone I..." She couldn't speak anymore and I furrowed my brows. Who could have caused her to lay her frustration on me? She didn't say. "And I know that you have been quiet somehow. The way you acted made me feel even angrier." She sighed out. "But when I pushed you, That was the most extreme thing." I sucked in my breath. It was the truth. Sierra
Isabella's POV. We entered the house again, and I looked around the large living area. Unlike the blank hall I saw in my dreams, the place had couches, vases and trees. It looked beautiful and homely, albeit a bit empty. It was more affirmation that my dreams weren't real. I sighed in relief. An 'Ahem' made me turn to Sierra. "Let's go." She said, carrying the bags up. I followed her out of the room where she dropped my bags before setting out. Before she left I called out "Sierra?" She turned to look at me. "Thank you," I said. Her lips quivered a bit before she nodded. In seconds, I was left alone again with Treasure now in his crib. Closing my eyes, I reached out to my wolf.Ever since I left, Violet hadn't spoken. At first, I'd hear her voice, crying out, whether of homesickness or trauma from what happened to us. But as days went by, she became quiet. I pushed it away until a month went by, and another until I found that she didn't reply even as I calle
My mother's voice came through the phone while I stayed silent. "Hello?" She called out again. Hearing my mother's voice, I cried. She sounds weary, tired and I feel a pain in my heart from knowing that I'm the reason. "Who is this?"I opened my mouth to speak, but no words came out. Tears now flowed freely down my face as I stood, frozen in time, too filled with memories to do a thing.The stasis I was in broke as I finally took in a breath -a sharp, shuddering one.She seemed to notice as she said, "Please tell me who you are."It filled me with a familiar alarm. It was almost like she was suspecting I was the one on the line. No. She shouldn't know that I was here. Quickly, I turned off the dial button of the phone, hearing as her voice- about to call out again- was cut off, leaving only a dialing tone. Resisting the urge to slump, I carefully put the phone back in its place, turning to walk. Despite the tears already flowing, I tried my best to contain myself as I wa
Isabella’s POV.The rest was a blur as I moved quickly, going backwards before shutting the door with a bang. His scent was the very same.He was the one.Slowly, I took deep breaths calming myself down to no avail.Looking down at Treasure, I held him closer to me, almost tightly. He had seen him. I felt a slight chill knowing that.Before my thoughts escalated, I willed myself to calm down. I stood up and placed Treasure in his crib.My mood had dulled slightly, a
Isabella’s POV "What?!" It was almost humorous how they both spoke at the same time. Perhaps I would have laughed had they not looked with equal shocked and anxious faces. Claire I could understand, after all I doubted that she would have been comfortable with me working after she practically helped me all through the pregnancy. I couldn't however understand why Sierra gave me the same face. Despite our now more cordial relationship, I thought that she wanted me out as soon as possible. I had four months to stay until I was finally on my own, and a week had already passed. I truly did need to get a job so I could fend for myself earlier. So I waited for them to process the information. A feat which didn't take more than a few seconds before they began to speak. Claire went first. "Isabella, I don't think you should do it. I wouldn't advise you to." Her use of my full name was enough to know her stance. "If it's about my physical state, I can assure you that I'm fine. I've long s

Isabella. I quickly shoved myself off him as I realized that the hard surface was rather his chest. Taking a few steps back, I looked at the man who looked amused as he smiled at me.He was a male. A human male, with long blonde hair staring at me."Did I scare you? I'm so sorry." He apologized as his smile falters.I felt something slightly warm in my chest before I moved forward shaking my head."No, I'm the one who needs to apologize," I hurriedly say.He looked amused."I don't blame you, That dog barking out of nowhere would've spooked me too," I nodded, looking at the direction where the woman and her dog were far in the distance. Turning back to him, I watched as his hand came out."I'm Adian." He said.Looking at the hand, I felt cautious but shook it."I'm Isabella."I let go quickly. Before I could say anything, he spoke."So, what's a werewolf doing on this side of the city?"His words made me alert. I snapped towards him."How did you-?"His laugh caught me unaware. When
