Dylan ended the training session early that day because he received a voicemail from Isabel, asking him to come home. There was something off about her voice which got him worried. He doesn’t know why, but he thinks whatever she has to say was important and probably urgent since she didn’t wait for him to get back from training. There was an unsettling feeling in the pit of his stomach he was struggling to shake off, but it wouldn’t go away. Does this have something to do with Rodrigo’s sudden visit? Did he do something wrong? Was he softening towards the warriors to the annoyance of the former alpha? Of course not. He didn’t change the training patterns, neither did he cut the hours short. He only cracks one or two jokes with the warriors, to help ease their tension. All of these thoughts ran through Dylan’s mind as he drove back home. He parked his car in the driveway on arrival, not bothering to park it in the garage where it ought to be. ‘That can wait’ he thought to himself a

“Who is it?” Isabel irritatedly asked whoever was at the door, still straddling her mate. “It’s me, Jane.” Dylan’s mom’s muffled voice replied from outside the room. “There’s someone you need to see, Dylan.” She continued. “I have to go.” Dylan mouthed to his mate, making a gesture with his eyes for her to release his arms from her grip, which was getting tighter due to her growing anger. “I’ll be down in a minute.” He yelled so his mom would go away since Isabel wasn’t letting go of him. ‘Really?’ Isabel stared at her mate in disbelief. It’s one thing to be rudely interrupted during an intimate moment, but it’s another thing when her mate is in support of the interruption. Does he really not care about her opinion? Disappointed in Dylan’s attitude towards such a crucial moment in their lives, she quietly let go of his wrists and removed her weight from on top of him. “I’m sorry. I didn’t want my mom walking in on us.” Dylan explained, rubbing his wrists where Isabel trapped

After several failed attempts to wake Isabel, a worried Dylan carried her bridal style and carefully placed her on his bed. He became alarmed when he saw multiple deep cuts all over her body. “How could you have been so foolish, Isabel?” He mumbled to his mate’s unconscious body, his voice filled with emotions. What is he supposed to do in a situation like this? He wondered, going into the bathroom to get a wet towel to clean her wounds. Xavi, who would’ve been of help to him is currently receiving treatment, and there’s no way in hell he’ll let anyone see his mate in this state, so how does he handle the situation? “Please, wake up.” He kept repeating as he wiped the blood off her slowly healing wounds. How will he live without his mate? They were just beginning to get along, now this had to happen. He shouldn’t have pushed her into helping his pack. Although they were his previous family, these people were mean to him when he had no mate. He should’ve let them solve their pr

By the time they arrived at the Pride pack, David, who Isabel and Dylan thought would be tired after their journey was very much hyper and wanted to walk around the Pride pack. To grant his request, Dylan decided to give him a guided tour of the Pride pack because he knew his mate would have some immediate pack matters to discuss with her dad. Isabel waved them goodbye and used their absence as an opportunity to get a room prepared for David. She asked Ingrid to make tacos, enchiladas and some dessert for Dylan and his little brother. “What about you, alpha?” Ingrid asked, because Isabel didn’t mention anything she’d like to eat. Isabel wasn’t in the mood to eat any food. Her thoughts were scattered and she needed some time to herself. “Just get me a bottle of tequila.” She replied. Ingrid was a little hesitant to obey her alpha’s order since her health was at stake, and considering the fact that she just returned from a warfare and was supposed to eat healthy foods to help revi

“Xavi told me you handled the situation all by yourself.” Rodrigo began, as soon as he sat on his study chair. “I had to… There was no other way to prevent a disaster from happening.” “And are you aware of the consequences of your actions if something had gone wrong?” Isabel was expecting such a reaction from her dad, but he would’ve done the same had he been in her shoes. “I’m the alpha now, let me be the one to worry about my pack.” She gritted her teeth as she spoke because she didn’t want to get into a fight with the former alpha. “That doesn’t answer my question, Isabel. You made a reckless move out there. What if you didn’t make it back?” Rodrigo was equally trying to control his fury. He was consumed with fear when Xavi informed him that his daughter fought against the rogues all by herself. Why would she make such a rash decision without putting her pack first? And although he was told that her beast was in control, and they are unbeatable in that state, he couldn’t he
