Isabella's POV.“Beth?” I roared, but she stood still, her piercing golden eyes staring at me uncomfortably.Confused and left with nothing to do, I decided to approach, but she didn't move a muscle. I should have been able to pick her scent from where I was, but there was no scent, I heard a thud behind me and I looked back. Seeing it was a deer, I turned back to Beth, but she was gone.“What's going on, Beth?” I thought and approached where she was standing.Still, there was no scent of her, which was very strange because I scented her yesterday when I was with Marcus.“Could it be that I was only hallucinating?”I let out a loud roar in the depths of the woods and went home, it was enough for the beginning of the day.When I got home, I walked straight into my room and was able to get a nap. I woke up to a knock on the door. Sitting up, I picked a familiar and an unfamiliar scent; it was Alex and Alpha Sarah.“Isabella, are you in there?” Alpha Sarah asked.“Did Mrs. Elise report m
Isabella's POV. “What do you mean by that?”“Ask him.” I glared at Alex, who tried to play dumbfounded.If he thinks he can fool people, I'm not in the category of the people he can full.“What?” He snapped. Alpha Sarah stood up and tilted her head a bit. “What do you mean by what?”“Are you accusing me again?” He scoffed softly. “That's enough!” Mrs. Sophie butted in with a yell. “I think we should all take a step back and think. We don't need any of these right now.” “Of course, and that's what I'm trying to do.” Alpha Sarah retorted. “I want to know why everything and everyone in this pack revolves around this person, that should be a question I should pay quality attention to.” She added. Seeing the way she behaved, I felt a pang of guilt prick through my skin for not telling her the truth. “Stop it, Isabella. You can't trust anyone, remember? They all brought pain to your family and this new person, nobody knows if she can be trusted.” Layla said, and I second her thought.
Marcus's POV"How dare you spill such rubbish from your mouth? How can you call me a traitor? You think I did all of these...... Spent four years taking care of her to hand her back to Alex?" I spoke in rage as I tried to make eye contact with her.She stood to her feet and looked at me straight into the eyes. "Then what do you expect of me? To just think everything is fine?" She uttered briskly, shrugging her shoulders occasionally, and took some steps away from me.She turned her back to me and crossed her hands against her chest."I expect you to trust me, trust me with everything you could." I snapped."With my sister's life?" She retorted, facing me with a swift turn. "I'm sorry but I can't do that. I would never allow any hurt come to her again, I failed to save her before but I'm not planning to fail now because it sucks." She yelled at me, slightly panting. "She had had enough over the years, it's time for Alex to pay for all his crimes and I won't let anyone stop me, not eve
Marcus's POVThe two of us got out of the secret house but were shocked by whom we saw, it was Sandro. He stood in front of us with a despicable smirk.“What's going in, Sandro? Shouldn't you be resting?” I asked.“Not when I haven't reached my goal.”“What do you mean? What goal?”I could feel that something was off, but I couldn't place it. All I know is that I need to protect Beth, even if it cost me my life.“Beth..... I need her to come with me.”“Why would I come with you?” She scoffed gently. “Because I'm going to take you to where you belong. You are only going to ruin our plans.”“What do you mean, Sandro? Are you out of your mind? How can you tell her to come with you?”“Stay out of this, Marcus. You have no idea what you're doing. You're never going to win over Alex. So, this is the best we can get.” He snorted. “Step away.” He commanded and beats his feet with an air of control. “Never! I don't know what came over, Sandro, but you don't have to do this. We've gone too fa
Sandro's POVWhile I was in the captive of Alex and Sarah, I overheard him talking to himself about Beth.“How nice it would have been if I had Beth with me? I would have been the Alpha and made Sarah my Luna.”I saw this as a good opportunity to exploit Alex, I was going to give him Beth, and he would provide us with what we wanted. Maybe there's a better way to this than trying to kill him. Perhaps this is the right way to go.From a distance where the guards and I stood, I watched Marcus's house burn; their voices making a pleasant rhythm with the burning sounds.A smile escaped my lips and I left with the guards.Though I don't have a place for us to stay now, but I can assure them it won't last for a week. We just have to get Alex on our side, and we would live the rest of our lives in comfort.After a while of wandering in the woods, a tired guard stopped me.“Wait!” He cried, his hand supporting his knee as he panted and tried to catch his breath.“Where exactly are we going? C
Lillian's POVI stood up to my feet, my brows pinched together in disappointment.“What do you mean they might not make it? You're the best doctor I know......” I crouched to meet her gaze. “There must be something you can do about this. Please, help me.” I jammed my palms together and pleaded.“It's fine, babe. You don't have to plead with me before I do it. It's my job, and it's what I love doing best. I'll try all I can, and we'll hope for good news.” She gave me a bright, reassuring smile.I sat on a chair in the corner of the room while I watched her do her job. I silently prayed all she was doing would work out fine for them. It would all be over if they die now, and they would be no point in letting Beth know that I'm alive. After a while of some stitching, Megan got up with a sigh of relief that she was tired. I quickened my steps towards her. “How is it going?” I asked, my eyes flickering from them to her.“It's now left to then, I've done my best. Let's just hope they make
Alpha Sarah's POV.With quickened steps, I rushed to Alex's house, which was not far from Mrs. Elise's house. I knocked on the door, rang the bell, but there was no response.“Did something happen already? Was I too late?” I questioned, still trying my luck.“But he sounded too good for someone that something bad is going to happen to so soon.” I concluded.I soon ran out of patience knocking and ringing the bell, so I grabbed the knob, and before I could clutch my grip on it to open it, the door opened. Slowly and sniffing the air for nearby scents, I walked into the house and my eyes were darting from one corner to the other.Then, I picked a familiar scent – Alex's.“So he had been in this house all the while I was knocking on the door?” I thought.“Alex?” I called out.He jumped down from the first floor, startling me in the process.“What was that for?” I yelled at him, my heart still racing fast.“I'm sorry to startle you like that, I just can't think of any better way to approa
Alpha Sarah's POV.Ignoring her, I continued to walk home, but I couldn't shrug off the feeling that she was still watching me. When I looked in her direction, she was not there, and a tiny huff of relief escaped my lips.I turned back toward my direction and was startled to see a figure less than an inch away from me. Immediately, I flipped up and landed on the floor with a defensive stance.“I should have been able to pick her scent that close. Who is she?” I thought.While I stood my ground, ready to attack her, she stood still – one would think she's a statue.“It was the special from earlier.” Diamond whispered to me.“What is it you want from me?” The confidence in my voice reverberated.“Just want to tell you to pick a side and be side while doing so.” She said, and a smirk spread across the corner of her lips.Before I could get to say another word, she vanished into the thin air.Some pack members also witnessed what happened, I could only hope that they don't see me as a wea
