Chapter 32
I feel guilty laying beside him, as the feeling of Alpha Kenn's lips on mine will not leave me—it is bullying me. The event replays in my mind while I lay beside him sleeplessly, the feeling returning and the panic also, my rush to escape when I should have stayed and questioned him more. Why was he in Eric's office? To find papers, he said, but should I believe him? Why else would he be in there? No good reason with strong evidence comes to mind.
Finally today I am picking up Kendra, and that will give me time to think during the drive. Eric has volunteered to come with me, but I have managed to convince him to stay here with Alpha Kenn. Without much rest, I say my temporary goodbye to Caroline and head out of the house to find Eric, to let him know that I am leaving.
The two guards taking me, weirdly the ones who detained me in

Walking up to the house, I glance behind me at the two guards waiting in the car before ringing the doorbell. An array of speedy footsteps and squeak-like cheers erupts from the other side, and I spot Kendra peeking through the side window. I smile and wave. The door is swinging open in a matter of seconds."Isabella!" She shouts and clings onto me. My arms wrap around her, a barrier between her and the world. "I'm so excited!"I squat down and brush the stray hairs from her beautiful face. "Did you do your hair yourself?""Yes, Moms with the Luna. She told me not to open the door unless it's you. I brushed it and tied it up like you used to," she explains and twirls the crooked pigtails between her fingers."Alright. How about I brai

The car ride is not quiet at all. Since Kendra had plenty of sleep, she is terribly energized and bursting with excitement. The two guards up front have the skill of shutting people out, as their relaxed faces are not reflected onto me. I love Kendra with all my heart, but the girl cannot sit still. Finally, we stop the car so I can grab her one of the books she packed with her things. Once A Wrinkle in Time is locked in her hands, Kendra's lips are sealed.My confusing dream had me up for most of the night, so I lay my head down on Kendra's lap, and I take a small nap. She rests the book on my head as she gets lost in the pages.Time flys by and before I know it, Kendra is shaking me awake, cheering that we are here. "Come on; I want to get out!"I tiredly sit up and rub my knuckles i

"Is it weird not having mom here?" "It was weird without you at home," Kendra tells me as she gets comfortable underneath the blankets. "I want to be here with you, Isabella." "You are here with me." The lights in the guest room are dim. I sit beside Kendra, looking down at her beautiful face as she fights to keep her eyes open. I shut all the curtains and made sure everything is perfect for her to sleep soundly, which included closing the bathroom door. Now that everything is settled, she yawns. "I know. But I want to stay here forever, with you." "Don't be silly," I mumble and brush back the dark, stray hairs from her face. "I'll be just a door away, okay?"

"What is that?""Eric's mark.""Isabella," Caroline rushes towards me to get a closer look, "that's serious. That's—wow." An excited look casts over her face, and I am surprised. With Lucas missing, I thought seeing the mark would make her depressed."Are you okay?" I ask and take my seat at the kitchen counter. Marina greets me and I give her a smile with questioning eyes. She shrugs. Marina, too, has grown used to Caroline's depression over her mate."I'm fine. Where's Kendra?""She's still sleeping," I say, "she hasn't slept much until last night. Did Eric stop by, was there any news on the search?"Caroline blushes. "No, n

Eric stands quietly, refusing to sit down. The room seems to grow smaller as we wait for the pair as if the truth is preparing to rain down and suffocate us. I am expecting something well planned, something selfish from Alpha Kenn, but who can blame him for acting like an Alpha. The way he went about it was unusual, though: slowly and carefully digging a way in, gaining my trust. He has done it all only to leave. Maybe he wasn't planning that until Eric kicked him out, or maybe he got what he needed from the office and had to reason to stay any longer. Caroline and a rested-looking Lucas enter and wake both of us up. She studies Eric, looking for any signs of hostility. "I'm not going to hurt him. Now sit down," Eric orders, and the two follow. "You're going to tell me what you know, or things are going to get

I sit on our bed thinking about what to say, about what to do when Eric and I come face to face again. Kendra is in the shower, and I sit here, waiting for her, but truly using the time to think and nervously wait. Eric is in the office still, and I do not know if he is almost done. Caroline and Lucas came back with Heath, and Heath went into the office, told to me by Caroline before she went off with Lucas again, this time for themselves.I envy the two of them, as they are still caught up in the early phase. Everything, in the beginning, was exciting and new. When were we going to kiss? What was his family going to be like? Will I ever see my sister again? What about sex—did he want it? The smell of him drove me insane, to the point of t-shirt swiping, and now here I sit, alone, anxious, waiting to find out if my latest mistake is small enough to be forgotten. I remember when I u

"Isabella," a familiar voice calls, and I turn back to see Evangeline running towards me. "Wait." I stop and secure my towel, "I'm sorry, I have to leave." She catches up to me. "Just relax, you're too worked up, too irrational." "I can't stay here." She reaches out to me. "Just come with me, get some clothes and calm down." I shake my head, hating the fact that I have to refuse her. "I'm sorry—" "He doesn't have to know. Please, just come stay with me for the night. Eric doesn't have to know that you're with me." My eyes drift off. Evangeline

My inner wolf was crushed from my actions just a few days ago.The words that left both of us meant nothing that night, and we both understand that. Eric is upset with himself for bursting in on me, I can see it on his face. Many times I tell him that I forgive him, but he doesn't seem to forgive himself.Our conversation is quiet, meaningful, and filled with regrets, and I am dying to move on. Selfishly, I have the power to forgive myself after Eric forgives me, but he cannot seem to do the same. I hate that he is so angry with himself.
