* Isabella *The old man waited until the servant who brought us the steaming hot coffee in the cup left. I smelled the aroma of the drink and held the cup to get a taste, it felt like home but my troubled mind refused to believe that. I watched the old man take a sip from his cup and carefully place back the cup on the saucer. He meets my gaze."My son does not want to help you however if you do what I tell you to, you could turn the tables around."I blinked my lashes and cleared my throat."I am listening Mister Vernice."He nodded and continued the conversation. "Our race as white wolves is extinct, my son refused to take a mate because she-wolves are nothing more than his playmates. They jump into his bed with just a snap of his finger."My eyes widened. "You see Miss Bannister, if you want his help then you need to offer him something in return. You are young and beautiful, I would bet my life that he is not immune to your charms. I noticed how he eyed on your back when you were
* Isabella * I spent the whole day thinking about the first step to get Alpha Charles's attention sexually. It is sad to say that I may have encountered him many times but he did not initiate something that would make me believe that he likes me, it is rather the opposite. I think I will have a hard time getting him to like me because I can feel his controlled annoyance when he talks to me. My experiences with men are limited to only Bernard and are no more than just kissing on the lips and a little bit of touch here and there. I treasured myself so much that I thought it would be difficult to seduce someone as good-looking and shrewd as the Alpha of the Cold Mountain pack. However, as Mister Vernice said, I can try it three times and if his son rejects me then it would be my loss. The knocks on my bedroom door confirm my thought. Alpha Charles just arrived home. I opened the door to see Martha smiling. "Isabella the Alpha arrived and he is staying in the library, he asked one of t
* Isabella *His big and strong arms encircled my body pressing me hard against his massive chest while his warm mouth covered my lips and I had no other choice but to gasp for air coming from him when I couldn't get out of his grasp. The blood rushing from my head down to my toes makes me feel dizzy and the hot sensation flowing through my very core is stronger. I felt like nothing else mattered at the moment but the sweet tingling pleasure of his hard body against mine."Damn you Isabella, did you wait for me just to execute your plan? I can smell you fresh coming out of the shower and it is driving me wild."His lips traveled to my jawline while he murmured in a hoarse voice that made the tiny hairs behind my ears stand. This is the first time I tried seducing him and to my surprise, I think it works! His warm and wet kisses extended to my exposed shoulders and then to my neck making me arch my neck towards the other side giving him full access to my skin. My hand reaches to his ch
* Alpha Charles *"Do you want another drink Alpha? Or shall I call for Eve?"Beta Lohan tapped his fingers on the table as I exhaled sharply and leaned my back on the soft chair. I have no intention of getting drunk for the night yet I feel like it is suffocating to stay in the Alpha house with the presence of Isabella lingering in every corner of the place."I'd rather discuss what you had found out on the Bannister lands Lohan. That is something that's been bothering me ever since the old Hunter leader died. My father was expecting me to help out, but it could mean a fight between the wolves of the South and the wolves of the North."He furrowed his brows while looking at me, the smile on his face faded as I brought the glass of whiskey to my lips. The noisy atmosphere could not hinder us from talking since we could hear each other clearly on our mind link. Two other warriors that are with us give me their full attention."I have to say that it might not be a good idea to help her
* Alpha Charles *It was a bad idea to spend a quick release of my heat from the female wolf in the club, for it had never done anything to lessen the libido every time I inhaled her scent. I rub my eyes looking at the bright rays of the sun outside my window. Even when I lay naked all night and the air conditioning is at its maximum level, I still feel hot. I got out of bed and directly headed to the bathroom to take a quick shower and leave the Alpha house soonI am certain that the woman causing my night sleeplessness is just around the house. If I walked out late like this, there could even be a chance that I would bump into her. I gritted my teeth and quickly finished myself under the cold running water. Then took a dark plum polo shirt and a smooth grey chino. I have to assist the training of the warriors today but I am not joining the practice since it is already late.When I opened my bedroom door expecting to inhale some of her scent, I only took a very faint whiff. Did she g
* Isabella *Huh! The nerve of this wolf! I cursed him inside my head since I didn't want to fight with him at this point in my battle. The only thing I could do was hide whatever I truly felt inside. His father on the other hand is on my good side, this made my determination to get the help of the warriors in my purpose. If I could somehow convince a few Army of my own then perhaps I don't have to beg for this mighty Alpha's help however he should not be aware of what I am planning."And do you think that I came here to take advantage of the wolves in your pack? How on earth am I going to do that when they only rely on their Alpha in every decision that they make? The warriors are strong however they have their duty to you as their leader. I am aware that they could only act according to your will, so you are wrong if you thought I would use them to my advantage!"His eyes meet my gaze, hot and challenging with a slight twist on his upper lip. I could only crane my neck high to keep
* Isabella *I waited in the evening until my cousin Richard was finally back home at Alpha Mansion, wanting to learn if there was any improvement on his part while training with the warriors of the Cold Mountain pack. I left early to follow the Alpha’s order who made it clear that I should go home after our conversation. My cousin Richard however, stayed and went on with the spar. "Richard!?"I was happy to finally see him after I sat for a few hours on the couch inside his bedroom. But the smile on my face faded as I looked at him. His face is swollen and there is something in the way that he walks, it is obvious that he was injured."Are you alright?"A worried frown appeared on my forehead. I watch him move to the single couch opposite where I am seated. My reaction made him shake his head."It's alright Isabella, this is nothing compared to what we have been fighting for."I silently suck in my breath when I heard his painful words, more like I could feel the deep meaning of it.
* Isabella *I spent the whole evening thinking about Richard and his decision, the words he spoke before I left his room that night."At least one of us should succeed in getting back the Bannister lands Isabella. I don't think it would be bad to decide to become stronger than I am now and to be a warrior of the Cold Mountain pack is not bad at all."There was a strong determination that mirrored through his eyes when I looked at him. I was the Bannister leader and my cousin helped me. I have to gather my people all together again but it would make a very bad impression on my dignity to become a wolf. I swore an oath to protect humanity by being a hunter-leader of the clan. And only if Alpha Charles would agree to help me without turning my cousin into a wolf.As soon as the sun came up in the sky I was ready to go out of my room and check on my cousin Richard. I need to talk to him and make him understand that I can do it with Alpha Charles, he does not need to make such a huge sacr
