Isla's Pov “Ack!” I awoke with a start, my eyes darting around, trying to figure out where I was. I was in a huge room, the bed beneath me was soft, layered with thick quilts and pillows that smelled faintly of lavender. My eyes swept across the wooden walls and the flickering fireplace across the room.Where was I? Where was this place? The last thing I remembered was the cold biting water. My heart pounded against my chest, and I pushed myself up, only to freeze when I felt a sharp jolt of pain shoot through my legs.“No… no, no, no…” I whispered, my voice trembling.I threw the blankets off and looked down. My breath caught in my throat. Both of my legs were bound in thick, clean bandages, splinted and propped up slightly with pillows. Bruises trailed up my thighs and hips and it all came rushing back. I let out a strangled cry, crawling back instinctively, my hands gripping the headboard as if it would shield me from memory. My breathing quickened, shallow and panicked.They must

Isla's Pov “W… What? The long lost daughter of the… Arielle, you don't need to lie about things like these. If you want to hate me, then hate me, bringing up stories just because you want me to…” “I wish I was joking as well!” Arielle suddenly screamed, her eyes wide and pupils shaking, “I wish it wasn't true, but it is. Why do you think mother never liked you? Why do you think some of the elders looked at you like they wanted to snatch you away. Why do you think Lucien hated you? That he wanted to get rid of you so badly? It wasn't because of the fact that you married him in my place, it was because of your identity. You were meant to be above him, and in the position that you were in, below him and pining after him despite your authority, he didn't want that taken away from him. He loved the fact that you were a nobody!” Arielle confessed, the corner of her lips tremblingly. “He… So… All these months, he hated me for something I didn't even know about? He treated me so badly beca

Isla's Pov Gasps rang throughout the entire place; I stared at my mother in shock. “W… What?” I asked dumbfoundedly, “M… Mom? What are you saying?” I choked, stunned. My hand flew to my cheek, still burning from the slap, “No, I… I didn’t…”“Don’t you dare lie! You sent people to kidnap her, to kill her!”I shook my head frantically, my vision blurring, “No! That’s not true, I would never hurt Arielle! Tell them, Arielle, please, tell them the truth! I wasn't the one who kidnapped you! I didn't!”All eyes turned to Arielle, still nestled in Lucien’s arms, looking so heartbreakingly fragile. Her lower lip trembled, and tears fell down her bruised cheeks.She looked at me with eyes filled with pain and betrayal, “Why do you hate me so much, Isla?” She whimpered, her voice barely a whisper, “I never did anything to you…”My blood ran cold.“No… Arielle, don’t…” I stepped forward, but Lucien growled, a warning in his eyes that made my steps falter.“You took everything from me.” Arielle

Isla’s Pov “Don't embarrass me at the party we are going to, Isla. I won't tolerate any mistakes from you, got that?” Lucien, my husband and Alpha of Red Ridge Pack, stood behind me, staring at my reflection in the mirror with such hatred that I wanted the ground to open up and swallow me. “O… Of course.” I stammered. Without another word, Lucien turned around, and went downstairs. My heart was beating so fast that I thought I had just finished running a race. For three weeks now, Lucien had been on edge. Why? My younger sister, Arielle, had gone missing. No matter how many people had been deployed to find her, she still hasn't been found. And on top of that, Lucien still had to attend the charity ball with me. I bit my lips as I walked downstairs slowly. Lucien had never liked me, in fact, he was forced to get married to me and I knew that. The person he truly loved was my younger sister, however, she had gone abroad months before Lucien and I got married. As the wedding had alre
