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
Alpha Isaac 53. The Concealed Truth
[Kathryn]The feeling is familiar – a rabbeting heart, clammy palms, and restlessness. I pace in the living room while Isleen, thanks to the Goddess, remains busy with the picture books I had given her when I left her in her room. I wring my fingers as I pace the length of the plush beige carpet. Who attacked? Why did Caius look so tense? Was Isaac okay? I shouldn’t have let him go without me. I can’t even reach him. He has put up his mental block. Will his injuries re-open? There weren’t any that I noticed the last ni-I keep my brain from taking that path. I just hope he doesn’t suffer because of me. ‘He will be fine,’ Astrid replies calmly. ~~**~~[Isaac]The roar stops the action for a few moments and before I can save Caius, the beta he was fighting escapes his grip by sinking their teeth into his foreleg. It leaps and darts out of anyone’s grasp before melting into the shadows of the woods. A few wolves growl at me but most of them cower. I keep my aura in check. They mustn’
Alpha Isaac 54. Weak Enigma
[Kathryn] I fold my arms and wait for his explanation. It’s unusual for him to be injured and not heal. It’s unheard of in the werewolf world. The better the wolf’s rank, the faster they recover, especially an Enigma like him. If he could stomach wolfsbane and not die then something must have happened during the fight. My heart lurches at the thought, but I have my mental block up this time. He won’t get an inkling of what I am feeling at the moment. He sits on the sofa, hands steepled and elbows on his knees. He doesn’t meet my gaze as he starts speaking. “After the fight with Ruth… I lost a bit more than my strength.” He pauses, and his gaze flickers to my face before they dart back down. “I lost the ability to heal quickly… or as quickly as a werewolf should,” he adds. A gasp leaves my mouth although I had guessed it when I saw the gaping wound, blood caked on the furs while a thin stream trickled out. “And when were you going to tell me this? When you would be sustaining a s
Alpha Isaac 55. Saying Goodbyes
[Kathryn]Despite Isaac wanting to go back the previous evening, I did not relent. In no way was I going to go back without saying goodbyes to the few who matters to me. So here I am, early the next day, waiting for the Alpha of the Shadow pack.I wait for Caius at his office. Wringing my fingers nervously, I let my gaze flicker around the office. The office has always been bare and minimalistic. I still remember sitting here and asking him if he would let me work with the Healer. I had never visited his office. Isleen was so small then. I sigh, how time passes.Caius walks in after some time. He stops when he notices me before heading to his desk. "You are going back."It isn't a statement.I wring my fingers nervously and offer him a small smile. "I think?" He raises an eyebrow. I sigh and nod."I guess I will. After all it's not..."I trail off when I see his scowl darken."I mean he was sick so...""Are you sure? Is Isleen also okay with it?" He asks the last question somewhat
Alpha Isaac 56. Trust your Sixth Sense
[Isaac]The kiss soothes my inner anger and the blood thirst to rip off Caius' throat but it doesn't quench my inner doubt. Does Kathryn really want to go back?She pulls back and rests her forehead against mine. "Don't think too much." I am about to say more, but she places a finger on my lips.I grab her finger and reel her into a kiss again. I snake my arm around her and pull her closer. She is startled at first but then relents easily as she circles her arms around my neck.The kiss escalates to something more quickly and soon I am pressing my mate onto her back on the mattress. She moans into the kiss. I drag my lips along her jaw and leave open-mouthed kisses down her throat.I graze her mark, pressing her further into the mattress and grinding against her hips."What else did Caius say?" I can't help but murmur against her skin, contemplating whether to rip off the clothes."Isaac-""Was he planning to mate you if I had not come?" I growl, squeezing her waist."He wouldn't. I w
Alpha Isaac 57. Being Defended for the First Time
Kathryn I stiffen on hearing the words, spewed out like venom. I stare at Helen, dumbfounded. She looks furious, eyes burning with hatred and disgust. White wolf. The word sounds so dirty that it makes me flinch. “What did you say?” Isaac says, his voice barely audible, but he looks livid. His fingers flex around my waist. The warm and welcoming atmosphere has changed into something frigid and tense. “You will question your mother for her?” Helen points an accusing finger at me. “She is a white wolf and that is a cause of disgust to you? Why? Her wolf’s color is white, mine is black, Marcus' is brown. What does color have to do with how that person or their wolf is?” Isaac bellows. I, on my part, stare at him. My heart seems to be pounding in my ears and my legs feel wobbly. When have I ever hoped or imagined that he, of all people, would defend me/ That he would accept me the way I am. Never. I never expected this from him, I still remember him threatening me for being a
Alpha Isaac 58. A Cruel woman for a mother
KathrynWhen I finally managed to put Isleen to sleep, after promising her a tour of the place the next morning, I slowly closed the door behind me and returned to our room.I halt at the sight of Isaac, changing clothes in the middle of the room. My gaze traces every scar and muscle of his broad back. My heartbeat notches up. This… feels so unfamiliar. “Will you be standing there all night or come to me?” he murmurs. My cheeks feel warm as I lower my gaze and cross the room until I am behind him. I wrap my arms around his midriff as soon as he is done wearing the t-shirt. “What did you want to say?” I murmur against his back. His hands come to join mine. He then turns around without breaking the hold and looks at me. His hands encircle my waist. “I didn’t want to say anything. You were the one who stood a few feet away from me and admired me while I changed for the night.” There’s a smugness in his tone and I am unable to decide whether to be mad or just be happy with the develop
