Alpha Isaac 45. A Mate's Unwelcoming Return
Astrid growls at the back of my mind. My heart stutters at the sight of him. He is in his human form, looking as healthy and strong as an alpha of his fame would. My gaze drags from his coiffed hair to his neatly trimmed stubble, to his expensive-looking casual clothes. My eyes finally settled on his face, impassive as ever. He has been doing well it seems and that makes the hurt and anger churn even more inside my chest. “What brings you here, Alpha Isaac?” I ask, thankful that my voice had not wavered. My gaze wanders past his shoulder and into the house. I don’t hear or see Isleen. I guess Caius or Harmony has handled that matter. “How have you been?” he asks instead of answering. His voice sounds slightly raspy like it did when he used to stay in his human form despite his beasts trying to take the reins. The grip on the strap of my tote bag tightens. “How do I look?” I can’t bother to keep the venom from my tone because why should I? His gaze softens. His expression chang
Alpha Isaac 46. Isaac's Side of the Story
[Isaac] I never thought anything apart from being cursed as a beast would hurt me. I was wrong. I was wrong because being rejected by your blood hurts a thousand times more. Not only am I now an unwelcome guest in my mate’s house, but an unwanted person as well. “Where is your bond mark, Alpha Isaac?” When Kathryn repeats the question, it breaks my stupor. “I…” How do I tell her about my struggles in these past five years? I see her eyes flash with hurt. She glares at me frostily, barely containing her displeasure and anger. I would have teased or retorted in any other situation, but this time I can’t afford that. “It has faded,” I answer truthfully. There’s a painful pause, a suffocating silence which follows. She takes a shuddering breath, hands calmly placed on her lap. Her gaze lowers for a moment before she gazes back at me. “Why?” “I defeated Ruth,” I reply. She raises an eyebrow. “That doesn’t answer my question.” “When I said that I will set it right. I meant it,
Alpha Isaac 47. Loving Another
[Caius] “Stop pacing around,” my beta, Lorcan mutters. I stop to glare at him, but all she gives me is a baleful look. “You know this would have happened one day or the other,” he points out. “Shut up. How many times will I tell you that I am not thinking about Kathryn,” I growl. He bows his head in submission, but I can see the way his jaw clenches. When I turn around, he puts down the laptop on the coffee table a little too hard then he usually does and stands up. “Alpha Harmony instructed me to take care of you. She worries about you. You can’t cling to that woman knowing the truth that she is another's. She doesn’t even reciprocate,” he says exasperatedly. It’s only our 22 years' worth of friendship that stops me from breaking his neck. “As if I don’t know,” I retort. “And why are you suddenly listening to Alpha Harmony?” The question gets me some unexpected reactions. Lorcan not only gets flustered but also looks away. I raise an eyebrow at his peculiar and unexpecte
Alpha Isaac 48. Being Reckless
Dinner is a tense affair. I had to whip up something quick yet nutritious. “Lenny, come down for dinner,” I holler once I have set the table. Isaac had offered to help, but I refused. When Isleen comes downstairs, she pauses at the foot of the staircase. Her eyes were pinned on Isaac. I surreptitiously glance at him. His gaze flickers toward me. I offer him a nervous smile before glancing back at Isleen. “Baby, wash your hands and sit down. Fast.” However, she remains standing on her spot. “Why is he still here?” Her face scrunches into a scowl. The tension has intensified and I have no clue how to diffuse it. “Isleen,” I warn. She gives a petulant glare but thankfully relents. She wordlessly sits down and doesn’t utter a word for the rest of the dinner. I should be proud of her, not because she didn’t voice her anger, but because she didn’t throw a tantrum. She doesn’t usually. Isaac observes her as she stabs her fork into the vegetables and shoves them into her mouth. “E
Alpha Isaac 49. Reacquainting
His restraint snaps as our lips meet, devouring me hungrily. He lets go of my wrists and gets me out of my clothes. We work in a frenzy, our hands trying to get the feel of bare skin. I realize that I have missed this. My animalistic side has been starving, my heart has been yearning for this intimacy. “The door,” I breathe out between kisses, arching my back as he palms my right breast. Isaac’s frustrated growl makes me giggle. I feel high and feel as if every nerve-ending is alive. He reluctantly leaves the bed and shuts the door before prowling back toward me. “Now you can scream my name as much as you want.” A deadly grin spreads across his lips and the gleam in his eyes makes my heart stutter. “The door is not soundproof,” I retort, gasping when he pinches my nipple. He nips and kisses every inch of my skin. He keeps me teetering at the edge with his fingers and tongue, devouring me slowly and torturously, sucking on my clit until I am writhing under him. I am too far gon
Alpha Isaac 50. Domestic Bliss
[Isaac]When I opened my eyes the next morning, for a moment, I believed that I was alone. I thought that all that happened was merely my dream, but then as my awareness began to sharpen, I realized the warm weight on my chest, the soft puff of breath against my skin.My heart swelled with love and relief when I took in my mate’s sleeping form. She was on top of me and sleeping soundly. It not only pleased me but also my wolves as they purred in my head. A glance towards the window told me it was pretty early. The curtains had become translucent. I thought of staying in, but then I needed clothes. My gaze went to my tattered pants and shirt. Only the jacket was salvageable. I practically arrived empty-handed. John dropped me off to this pack and only reluctantly returned when I said I would be fine. I had planned to stay at Caius’ place, but then…I nuzzled Kathryn’s hair. She mumbled in her sleep but did not open her eyes. After lazing around for a couple of more minutes, I finally
Alpha Isaac 51. Convincing Isleen
[Isaac]“Do I need to know how you managed to feed Isleen?” Kathryn asks, a tinge of awe and confusion lacing her words. I smirk and tuck a stray strand of hair behind her ear while she wipes the dishes. Isleen scrambled out of the kitchen the moment she was done and I didn’t know whether I should have been sad or slightly relieved about it. “She was hungry, but she didn’t want to eat so I pretended I was hungry, and she sort of just kept tagging along,” I say with a shrug. Kathryn chuckles. “She doesn’t warm up to strangers-” she cuts off abruptly and purses her lips. She glances at me briefly before moving to clear the table. “It’s alright. I know she won’t accept me so easily,” I murmur although it hurts. “At least, you did not resist,” I add with a mischievous smile and relish in her reaction. Her cheeks turn a fine shade of pink.“Stop talking such bullshit when a five-year-old is nearby,” she grumbles and folds the cleaning cloth and puts it away. I follow her as she putters
Alpha Isaac 52. Repaying
[Caius]“Are you really letting go of Kathryn?” my beta asks once Isaac has left. “How did you enter the room without my permission?” I ask instead of answering. “You weren’t paying attention, I knocked,” he snarks. I snap the file I was going through, close, and turn to see him shooting me a pointed look. “You are going ahead of yourself, don’t you think?” “Am I?” he asks, baring his neck in mock submission. “Did you check on Harmony?” I divert the subject. I look at him intently as he tenses. “Yes. She is well.” His clasped hands tightened. “Okay good, you—” There’s a series of knocks on the door which conveys urgency. “Come in.”“Alpha, there’s an attack near the west border,” Derek, a pack patroller, reports. Lorcan growls and asks, “Is it between Greenwood and the crescent pack again?”“No, Beta. It’s an attack. On our border. We are trying to suppress them but they might be from-” he peers at me and my frown deepens. “It’s… Alpha Deimos’ men.” The name stupefies me. The
