Orion’s pov"Why did you come here?" Izzy asked me, but that wasn’t the important question right now.Yeah, it was odd that the whole fucking day I felt like something was going to happen to Izzy. To the point that I asked Erin if I could stop work earlier.As soon as Erin said yes, I went to Izzy’s work, but she had already left, so I went to the gym where she said she was heading. But she wasn’t there.Why would she lie to me?‘Follow your nose. You have to find her.’ Knox said."What the fuck does that mean?" Shit, now I was talking back to the damn voice.Instead, I drove back to the dinner and asked if Luke had seen which way Izzy went after work, and he told me she took a bus. I followed the route of the bus, and it led me to a bus stop really close to the doctor. I knew immediately that she got out here. There wasn't anything else for her to find along this route.Why would she stop here? Was she still thinking about those damn pills?! Why couldn’t Izzy just let this go? The pil

TRIGGER WARNING. ABUSE. Orion’s pov I slowly pushed myself inside of Izzy, and it was taking everything not to go hard and fast. God, how did I forget that sex could feel this fucking good? Or was it because it was with Izzy? It felt like my whole body was buzzing, and once Izzy adjusted to my size, I began moving inside of her warm and wet pussy. I licked and sucked on Izzy's neck, knowing that this location drove her insane. Then I felt the sudden urge to bite her, and I even imagined my teeth becoming longer. I needed to bite into her; the urge was too great, and when my teeth went against her skin, all I wanted was to taste her blood and make her mine. But then it dawned on me what I was doing, and I pulled out of Izzy, running towards the bathroom, feeling mortified. "No, stop. You can’t do that." I said, looking at the mirror. ‘She is ours," Knox said. "No. no. no. You can’t just bite, people." ‘She would be fine. Izzy should wear our mark. She is meant for us.’ "What

Orion’s povAnd that’s what we did. I made love to my girl all night, until the sun rose above the sea.It was perfect, and Izzy was perfect, but part of me felt like it might all be just a dream. Life couldn’t be this good, right? I was just waiting for the other shoe to drop.I had controlled myself, although the urge to bite her was still there. For some reason, it was only to bite her neck, so I stayed clear of that area, despite knowing how much Izzy loved it when I kissed her there.We slept in, both having today off from work, and swam in the ocean one last time before heading home."This was perfect, Orion." Izzy said when we drove into the motel parking lot. I wish we could stay there forever, just the two of us. Maybe after Izzy’s birthday I could come with her, and life would be like this.I wasn’t letting her go anymore, but I still hoped she might stay. I didn’t want to leave this motel and Erin and Ezra behind. It was also the only place I had ever lived—the place my moth

Izzy’s povI lay on the floor, trying to breathe through the pain until I felt strong enough to crawl to the bathroom. I pulled myself up so I could turn the shower on and then sat on the bathroom floor, letting the water hit me, still fully dressed.After sitting there for ten minutes, I started taking off my wet clothes slowly. I washed away the blood and checked out my injuries. I was pretty sure I had broken some bones, and there were already bruises showing on my back, stomach, legs, and arms. The only place that looked kind of okay was my head, because I had protected it with the rest of my body. Except for the large bruise on my forehead from when Jordan slapped my head against the wall.But I wasn’t giving up. I needed to get the hell out of here, but I needed to save my strength to do this. So maybe sitting here in the shower for a bit longer and feeling sorry for myself wasn’t such a bad thing. While I knew Jordan would hurt me, it was a lot worse than I thought. I didn’t hav

Orion’s povI told Erin I was going after Izzy, without explaining the whole werewolf thing. Just that Izzy’s ex probably forced her to go back home and that she needed my help.Erin gave me some extra money to take with me and told me to get her back safely.I didn’t know how long it would take for the pills to stop having an effect on me, but I had two days to find out. After a few hours of driving, I stopped to get some gas and supplies, not wanting to waste any time sitting down to eat somewhere.When I had driven for twenty-four hours, I stopped to rest my eyes on an abandoned parking lot. After sleeping for a bit, I woke up to the voice I had been ignoring for years. It was time for us to finally have a conversation.‘I am Knox, your wolf.’‘I get that now.’ I replied, still feeling weirded out by talking back to the voice.‘I am not just a voice, remember.’ Knox softly growled.‘I’m really sorry.’ I replied. ‘I honestly didn’t know.’Knox sighed. "I know, Orion. But we need to w
