THE SAME MATEJACK AND GABRIELJack and Gabriel were at odds with each other, they both loved each other as brothers and friends but this was the first time they thought about themselves as individuals. On the day of the trial after Luna Marisa rejected James they found out they were mated to her, but they didn’t like the idea of being mated to the same person. That meant they’d have to share her and share their time, so they were at odds. Luna Marissa confronted them both and told them that she’d love both of them if she had to, she just wanted to know what it felt like to have a mate and not be abandoned by him. Gabriel accepted her on the spot but Jack played with the idea a little longer mainly because he wanted to get Alpha's opinion on the situation, even though their friends he respected Brandon’s advice and knew he’d send him down the right path. He wanted to talk to him for the past two days but he was busy with Luna, so he lefts him a message asking him if they both could ta

Isabella I couldn’t remember half of what happened last night. All I knew was I woke up feeling horrible. I should have never drank that wine mostly because I had never drank before. I got up, got ready for school, and headed downstairs. Chad and Kale were nowhere to be found neither were Brandon and if I don’t leave now I’d be late. I popped two painkillers, grabbed my bag, and placed a change of clothes in it, for me to reach on time I’d have to go through the forest. Which is safer now thanks to Brandon’s piece treaty. I ran out of the house shifted to Lilly and ran to school, I stopped in the middle of the forest to change as I wasn’t far away and could walk the rest. Lily didn’t let me instead she started barking and snapping her teeth at someone or something. A huge buff well-built man came out from the shadows he was tall and had blood-red eyes, he smiled and folded his arms as if he was waiting to see what I would do next. I didn’t know how to fight, well at least not properl

ISABELLA The mate ball is in two days and that’s the last of any free time I’d have for weeks since finals are around the corner. Along with that I’m still awaiting my acceptance letter for the school in indianapolis, today I have a meeting with the lunas from all fifty packs around America and to say I’m not intimidated and scared would be an understatement, why? Because Lady Patrice would be there , she’s married to a royal Lycan and she rarely comes out into the human world, that and I’m the youngest of them all. Brandon isn't back yet from the restaurant so I went ahead and helped the wolves that were decorating the pack grounds for the ball. There are tents, tables and chairs, a DJ station, a makeshift dance floor, photo booths and a lot of other things. I helped hang decoration and finish filling in the spaces with paint of the mural that was drawn on the pack house white wall. Everything's coming together nicely and falling in perfect with the theme ‘a night under the stars.’

Later that night after everything settled down I went upstairs to bathe and change, I’m still walking around in the blanket Aurthur covered me with. Marissa came with me to make sure I was alright as Brandon and the others patrolled once more, I got in the shower and washed myself clean all the blood from my face running down the drain. I got out dressed and looked at my face in the mirror. I had three long claw marks across my face, I touched it and pulled away as I saw something flash before me. I swallowed and touched it again, I saw James and Anthony running through a forest and some guards running behind them. Then they ran into the water and hid out on a ship that took them back to the states. And from there I saw Leah and a strong starved man somewhat resembling the wolf that attacked me in the forest welcoming them into their home at the edge of the forest and lastly I saw them place something on Leah’s fingers, something a witch gave them and Leah left to come to the ball.“I

Brandon Isabella isn’t doing well, she isn’t sleeping, she isn’t eating and honestly I can’t wait for Trixie to get here. But we still have a couple days wait, Chad and Gabriel had been gone for about two or three days now and I can’t help but feel worried Isabelle said the man she saw with Leah looked like the man who attacked her in the forest and if that’s right then it’s the group that tried to kill me months ago and that would be a problem. Rouges are scavengers they fight for food and fight for their lives, so if James is paying these people to fight and promising them broken dreams then they’d give it their all. Now that meant that we’d have to start training pack members and ask for help from other packs, I don’t want women and children to fight but they need to be able to defend themselves if anything happens l, so I told Kale and Jack to make the announcement that everyone except elderly, babies and pregnant wolves are to report for training every morning for at least two ho
