The day after the fight with Isabella, I don't even leave my new room except twice to get something to eat. Fortunately, I don't see her at all and I think that's better for both of us. I don't call Nukea either, because I wouldn't know what to say to her yet. I decide to let her stay mad another day while I fix the situation. It's only three and a half months until my presentation as Alpha of the pack. Isabella wants us to be married by then, she wants a giant wedding with most of the pack in attendance (except the Poor Ones of course) but I'm not going to let that happen. I'm not going to just kowtow to her like an idiot. So, I put my plan into motion. "Hello, son... everything okay?" my father asks when he answers my call. "Not really. I want to know how damaging it would be for us if I don’t marry Isabella," I say bluntly. My father immediately groans, "And, surprisingly, it has nothing to do with my mate and everything to do with Isabella.""Goodness gracious, how hard can i
I'm helping my brothers get ready for their first ever formal event. I got both of them little tuxedos and they look extremely cute. Once I'm done with them, I walk over to take one last look in the mirror to make sure nothing is out of place. I'm wearing a gorgeous lilac dress, it doesn’t show any cleavage and it even has some lace details that make it look innocent. My hair is done in a sleek high ponytail and I honestly think I got the makeup just right to look classy instead of whorish. Liam will be proud of me. Violet texts me that they're here so I slip on my high heels and I head out with my brothers to get in the car with Violet and Nate."Are you guys nervous?" I ask, they both say yes. This will be our first Greyhound event and we don't know how to act or what to expect, but we’re excited. Two days ago when Robert came to my house we talked for a while. He apologized to me for his behavior at that dinner when he stormed off and then he personally invited me to this event
{ Theodore }I'm nervous because a lot could go wrong, but I already put everything into motion and I just have to get ready to follow through. Today I decided to pretend everything is fine and since Isabella was feeling a little better, I convinced her to go to dinner with me. We have to be together when we hear the news.My phone starts vibrating on the table first, but I just silence it without seeing who it is and continue eating quietly with Isabella. When her phone rings a few seconds later, my heart starts pumping. "Hi, Daddy," she answers the call but grimaces when her father starts yelling, asking for me, "What? Yeah, he's here... my dad wants to talk to you.""Huh?" I ask, making a confused face. I grab the phone, "Yes, sir? What is it?”"You have to get back to the pack immediately!" He exclaims. Isabella hears perfectly and her eyes get wide, "Something happened... someone... someone took your father. They came into the party today and kidnapped him, they took Jamie too
{ Nukea }I swore to myself that I would be strong for at least a day. But, apparently, I can't be strong for even a minute because as soon as Theo has me in his arms and I can kiss his lips again, I get hit by an unbearable need to never detach myself from him again. I've never felt anything so intense before, I could swear I'm high, I even feel like his scent is more potent than usual, he just smells so perfect and masculine.I can't stop myself."Nu," Theo groans when my hips start to move uncontrollably over his erection, he squeezes his hands on my ass as a warning, "Nu... what about the kids? They might see.”"They're with your aunt," I tell him, Theo makes a confused sound, but I ignore him and don't let him speak because I start sucking on his bottom lip and I slip my hands under his shirt to touch his naked chest. I tug on his shirt until Theo understands what I want and lifts his arms so I can take it off."Does this mean I can touch you again?" he asks, his voice deep and
"Hey boys, how did it go with my aunt? Do you guys like her?" he asks, setting Beau down to hug Knox too. "Yeah, she took us to the park and then for ice cream, we played with Ashley and ran around a lot," Knox says before giving him the whole recap in detail of everything they did. Theo listens to it all as if he doesn't have a million more important things to think about. Once the recap is over, he finally comes over to me and hugs me from behind. "Have you eaten yet? I'm making something new, but it might be awful," I warn. "No, I'm really hungry. And whatever it is, it smells amazing," he replies, not letting go of me... until my brothers force him to go play with their new console. Theo sits with them until I'm done and it's time to eat. This weird concoction I made is fine, but I don't even savor it much because I eat super fast and then I rush the boys to bed because I can't wait another second to be alone with Theo. When I get back to my room, Theo is coming out of the s
After dropping the kids off, I drive to their new school, which is only about a ten minute drive from our house, or a fifteen minute walk.I put on some sunglasses as I enter and I walk straight to the offices. No one has been rude to me in a long time, since my father disappeared and has stopped bothering all of us, but I still don't feel completely safe in full rich spaces, like this school.The tuition is so fucking expensive that my heart stops before I remember I can afford it. For now."Uhm, is there an option to pay it all up front?" I ask. The lady attending to me just looks at me in confusion, “The whole education journey, until senior year. For both of them.”"Uhm," she frowns and looks back to her computer, "For the little guy, that would be eleven years. Do you want to pay eleven years up front?""Can I?" I ask, she looks confused and tells me the estimate of how much it would be. It’s the price of a car, a very expensive one, "Okay... can I pay five years at least?""Okay
"So, Theo is definitely the Alpha now, huh?" Knox says, appearing next to me all of a sudden, "I could hear what he was saying as we were walking.""Yep," I reply, "Since his father is indisposed, he became the Alpha earlier than expected. Please, both of you, always show respect to him, especially if we are out in public. He is Alpha Theodore now. And if you ever see that bitch next to him... that's Luna Isabella."Beau just nods without much thought, but Knox frowns and crosses his arms across his chest, looking confused."If he already has a Luna... what are you?" He asks. I guess he’s not as unaware as I thought "His good friend, that's all," I reply, trying not to sound bitter but probably failing, "Anyway, I have to make lunch."I walk straight to do that, shutting my brain off for the rest of the day. I close the curtains and turn off my phone, I just eat and watch TV for hours until it's time to go to sleep. I was starting to lose hope that Theo would come to sleep with me t
"Liam, stop and think about it logically... she is SO perfect for you," I say and grab his arm, he looks at me with the most annoyed face ever, "She is so absolutely perfect for you. So evil and mean and such a fucking bitch. She’s exactly the woman for you.""First of all, I've told you I don't like it when you touch me out of nowhere like that," he grabs my hand like it's garbage and pulls it away from his arm, "Second, I would never go for Isabella. She's the worst. She's... she's just... the fucking worst.“"Is she? Well, yeah, but she's beautiful," I try, he shakes his head in denial, "She's really, really strong...""Why the fuck are we even talking about her?" He spits. I can literally feel his whole body vibrating with energy. He wants her so bad, his body can't control it."Because I finally figured it out. That's why you're so involved in this and that's why you hate Theo, is because you love Isabella. It makes all the sense in the world. And you should go for it. Go get her
