* Isabella *"Welcome to the Alpha house of the North Miss Bannister! This is a surprise; you should have informed me so that my son was here to greet you."The old man walks down the stairs at a fast pace followed by the butler of the house who looks at us with a question written all over his face. Two servants greeted us at the entrance of the Alpha house aside from the guards standing on the gates. As expected of the father of the Alpha, he exudes power and authority unmatched by humans like us."Oh, it is alright Mister Vernice. There is an urgent matter that I must discuss with you or with your son. Regardless of who among you would help me in this desperate time."His eyes turned wide and the gasp coming from my cousin Richard made me look behind me. He bowed his head to the old man when he stood in front of us."Please let us all be seated first. And I wanted to know everything that's on your mind Miss Bannister, I could feel that something terrible must have happened that you

* Isabella *But my strength is no match against him as I stare deep into his brown orbs and notice the sarcasm plastered on his red lips. He challenged me with his hard chest that did not even move an inch even when I have used every ounce of strength that is left in my body. He remained close to me with his fingers dug into my shoulders."I am not going to be a normal human being anymore! Not when my father died because of the wolves from the South. If you don't want to help me then I have another plan!"The smirk on his lips faded and his eyes lit with fire as he brought me even closer to him. My heart is turning wild inside my chest."And what is your other plan, Isabella? Do you think that I care about what you would do if you came here and talked to my father? Good luck with your plan to take your lands back, however, the Alpha of the Cold Mountain pack and the warriors will not help you. You should know better than to put the lives of the people you love in danger just because

* Isabella * I spent the whole day thinking about the first step to get Alpha Charles's attention sexually. It is sad to say that I may have encountered him many times but he did not initiate something that would make me believe that he likes me, it is rather the opposite. I think I will have a hard time getting him to like me because I can feel his controlled annoyance when he talks to me. My experiences with men are limited to only Bernard and are no more than just kissing on the lips and a little bit of touch here and there. I treasured myself so much that I thought it would be difficult to seduce someone as good-looking and shrewd as the Alpha of the Cold Mountain pack. However, as Mister Vernice said, I can try it three times and if his son rejects me then it would be my loss. The knocks on my bedroom door confirm my thought. Alpha Charles just arrived home. I opened the door to see Martha smiling. "Isabella the Alpha arrived and he is staying in the library, he asked one of t

* Alpha Charles *"Do you want another drink Alpha? Or shall I call for Eve?"Beta Lohan tapped his fingers on the table as I exhaled sharply and leaned my back on the soft chair. I have no intention of getting drunk for the night yet I feel like it is suffocating to stay in the Alpha house with the presence of Isabella lingering in every corner of the place."I'd rather discuss what you had found out on the Bannister lands Lohan. That is something that's been bothering me ever since the old Hunter leader died. My father was expecting me to help out, but it could mean a fight between the wolves of the South and the wolves of the North."He furrowed his brows while looking at me, the smile on his face faded as I brought the glass of whiskey to my lips. The noisy atmosphere could not hinder us from talking since we could hear each other clearly on our mind link. Two other warriors that are with us give me their full attention."I have to say that it might not be a good idea to help her

* Isabella *Huh! The nerve of this wolf! I cursed him inside my head since I didn't want to fight with him at this point in my battle. The only thing I could do was hide whatever I truly felt inside. His father on the other hand is on my good side, this made my determination to get the help of the warriors in my purpose. If I could somehow convince a few Army of my own then perhaps I don't have to beg for this mighty Alpha's help however he should not be aware of what I am planning."And do you think that I came here to take advantage of the wolves in your pack? How on earth am I going to do that when they only rely on their Alpha in every decision that they make? The warriors are strong however they have their duty to you as their leader. I am aware that they could only act according to your will, so you are wrong if you thought I would use them to my advantage!"His eyes meet my gaze, hot and challenging with a slight twist on his upper lip. I could only crane my neck high to keep
