* Isabella *I slowly opened my eyes towards the familiar surroundings and the comfort of the mattress behind my back with the smell of fresh roses on the bedside table reminded me of the few things that were beautiful in the Cold Mountain pack Alpha house. The big and pleasant room filled my heart with warmth and comfort. Then I remembered everything from the last moment that I was awake. "Richard?"My voice in the mind link reached the ears of my cousin, I felt his strong heartbeat but he was still unconscious and hurt. I somehow felt a slight relief, the last thing I remembered was looking at him dying and losing a lot of blood. I am so glad that he is safe! Alpha Charles came to our rescue on time! I got up from bed realizing that I had already healed. The mirror on the big dresser showed the smooth skin on my neck arms and legs when I pulled up the midi silk dress that I was wearing. I am completely healed from head to toe!It feels amazing to be one of the wolves, even when I ha
* Alpha Charles *For a male wolf, morning arousal is normal, and having her right in front of me is just like torture. I was not able to stop myself from touching her soft skin and taking her lips against mine. She should know better than getting inside the room that I occupied. She had probably smelled my desire and lust through the air yet she stood still and did not push me when I grabbed her arm. I could not remember the last time I had her warmth, I was so busy with pack duties and she was angry with me. I am not sure if she is still mad about the issue of turning her into one of us."Damn you for coming here Isabella, you know that I have been celibate for a while and I won't be able to stop myself if you are here in my arms like this."I murmured through her ears while holding her tiny waist and keeping her on top of me above the bed. She lets out a soft moan when my lips touch her neck and I let my tongue have a taste of her skin and give her gentle love bites down to her thr
* Isabella *I opened my eyes and felt the warmth of his arms around me. There is no hatred or anger in my heart towards him anymore, now I understand his actions entirely. From the beginning, he wanted to protect me, and his intentions were pure. It made a huge difference now that I become one of them. I could tell just by his simple gesture the real feeling he had inside his body. Even with just a flutter of his dark lashes or the beating of his heart against mine. He is a wolf who only protects his mate, and I am confident that his mate is me.His nakedness felt a little familiar as I looked at him flawlessly and his God-like features. If all Alphas are like him then there is no wonder why the wolves go crazy over him. He let out a sound of taking a deep breath and then exhaling it to wake up after a few seconds. His gaze was direct upon me as he opened his beautiful eyes."Good morning sweetheart! Or more like good afternoon."On his eyes radiate the glowing sun from outside the w
*Isabella*"Oh, They are so lovely Bernard! Thank you."I smiled widely at the beautiful fresh red roses wrapped neatly in a printed thick wrapping paper. The bouquet I did not expect to receive today since we had no plan on celebrating my twenty-third birthday. However, Bernard had a surprise appearance early in the morning. The smile on his lips warmed my heart. I bet that he came here first before going to his work."Happy birthday my dear Isabella."He lowered his head to give me a peck on the cheek which I accepted gladly. I turned around to find an empty antique flower vase sitting above the long wooden table in the living room. Then I carefully place the flowers inside, removing the wrapper and folding them before throwing them quickly at the nearest bin."Thank you, Bernard! You are the first person to greet me today."I walk gracefully towards him, aware of his eyes looking at the very tight black denim that I wore with a matching tank top in the same color. The obvious admir
* Isabella *I look at my reflection in the mirror, with my hair done in soft curls from the salon. To change my usual straight hair I went to get it done, especially for this evening. Excitement and joy filled my lungs as I thought of the five-star restaurant in the City. It's been a while since I had dined there, without my father. The dress I'm wearing is a sleeveless V-neck midi dress in a vintage blue color. The stylish and flattering neckline shows a bit of my cleavage and skin in the middle of my breast.My shoes are of the same color and I brought with me a blue silk scarf in case the cold gets into me. Even in summertime, the North has a low temperature, which some enjoy but there are also a few who want to have the heat of the sun during summer. "Miss Bannister?"A soft voice coming from Martha made me turn away from the full-length body mirror of my room. "Yes Martha, did Bernard come?"She smiled looking at me from top to bottom. "You are so beautiful tonight Miss Bannist
* Alpha Charles *There were several rogues spotted in hiding at the most crowded place in the North, the City. I must pursue the investigation further, as it would be dangerous for the humans to protect themselves against a rogue attack. We had stayed until evening and found a few traces that we must continue our search. Before going back to the Alpha house, I decided to treat the warriors at a restaurant. "Are you sure this is a good place for us Alpha? This looked expensive."Ben, one of the warriors with me, looked around and commented on the elegant place. There are only a few guests around that is why I chose the place."It does not matter the price, Ben. What I want is for us to have a private conversation, some humans would freak out when they know that we are not among them."He nodded. "You guys order whatever you want. I will come back in a second. Beta Lohan, will you order for me?""Sure thing Alpha." Lohan is the best warrior in the pack and knows me better than anyone
* Isabella *"Good morning Dad!"I give him a peck on the cheek while he folds the daily newspaper on his lap. A wide smile curved his lips. "Good morning my dear. Are you going to the ranch early?"Looking at my cowboy outfit, he doesn't even need to ask where I'm going. I haven't slept well thinking about what happened last night. I took a deep breath in."There is something I wanted to ask you, Dad."He put back the cup of coffee in the saucer and looked at me. "Hmmm, what is it, Isabella? You seemed anxious so early today. Did something happen last night?"I cleared my throat when Martha came in the dining room bringing the usual breakfast. The smell of bacon and scrambled eggs made me look at her. I waited until she was done putting a cup of coffee in front of me. "Thank you, Martha.""My pleasure Miss Bannister, please enjoy your breakfast, and you also Mr. Bannister."My father nodded towards her and waited until I started talking. "I had a great time with Bernard last night D
* Isabella *The following day came fast just like a blink of an eye. I woke up early to get ready for my morning run around the backyard of the Bannister mansion. It feels good to have peace and maintain the quiet and safe surroundings of our lands. My father loves this place despite it being far from the City proper of the North. I guess old men love nature and the slow life away from the busy streets of the City.I was about to get back to the house when along the road my phone rang. "Hello?""Miss Bannister, sorry to disturb your morning run but your father asked me to call you."It was Martha on the other side of the line using the phone of the house. "What is it, Martha? Did the guest arrive?""Yes, Miss Bannister, and your father wants you to come back quick and meet with them in the library."I turned the phone off and ran fast towards the backside of the mansion. He came earlier than usual, I let out a harsh breath after arriving at the gates which the guard opened promptly.
