Chapter 22
(Ethan’s POV)
Connor turned the car in a different direction, heading on a road that had been closed for more than two decades. The road has not been used for a long time because the damaged bridge was never repaired, and it has been decided to remain close so tourists would not go this way since it was a shortcut going to the lake.
“What did Mom say?” Connor asked, driving as fast as he could.
“They’ll meet us under the bridge,” Amber answered as she placed her palm on Izobel’s forehead. “She’s still cold,” She looked at me sadly. “She’s never been sick like this.”
“When this is over, remind me, Ethan, that I’m killing you,” Connor clenched his teeth and glanced at me in the mirror. “He has seen a lot,” He was talking to Amber now.
“Dad will know what to do,” Amber uttered, kissing her in the head. “She&rsq

(Izobel’s POV)“Amber, he’s not waking up,” I said worriedly, looking at Ethan. It has been hours after he fainted.Connor smirked, returning the magazine to the rack. “I always wonder why we have magazines here when we’re the only patients here,” he said as he walked towards us. He scratched his eyebrows as he looked at Ethan. “And try witnessing the impossible, Izobel. You would probably choose, to live or to die,”I hissed at him.“Dad,” I cried, looking at our father, who was busy looking something at the screen of his monitor. “Should we erase his memories?” This time, I doubted it because it seemed not working on him. Dad was quiet, and I knew he was more concerned with something else rather than erasing Ethan’s memory of what happened under the bridge.“Erasing his memories isn’t exactly what he n

(Ethan’s POV)Izobel would never admit if she were in pain, but I could read in her eyes she was hurt by my decision.“But I want Mr. Rodriguez to do it, not you, Izobel,” I said, and she nodded again, turning her back on me without saying anything.Worried, Amber followed her twin. Whether she would cry or not, this is not the best time to put Izobel in danger again.“Why?” Connor asked, walking towards me as he stood beside me. “Why deceive Izobel that you want your memories to be erased, Ethan?”I smirked. “No one can deceive Izobel,”Connor scoffed but nodded, agreeing with me.Alaric and Zena walked near the bed.“If I’m to ask, I don’t want to involve Izobel in all these. If only I knew that it would hurt anyone in the family, I’d never accepted the weapon,” I explained as I furrowed my fo

(Izobel’s POV)It has always been us, my parents, Connor, and me for a long time. Although Mom and Dad dreamt of us meeting our soulmates, it has never occurred to me that it would be awkward like this.Deidra sat on the corner of the living room, and she meekly stayed there, looking afraid at me as if I would bite her. As Connor described her, she was beautiful. Her waist-long hair was braided, and her oval-shaped face has beautiful features of eyes, nose, and lips. She is still young at fifteen, and she has been marked, but my brother told me he had not sealed the bond yet, and he was willing a lifetime for the right moment.My eyes shifted to the three babies in the crib. They were sleeping like angels, and Deidra didn’t need to tell more because I could smell that the babies were not wolves like her. Their smell their blood was telling me they were hybrid like me.“Meet Alpha Izobel,

(Izobel’s POV)I looked at the piles of papers Asia placed on my table. Propping my elbows on the table, I cupped my face with my palms and studied the piles, not knowing where to begin. I glanced at the time, and despite the hotel operating twenty-four hours, my working time in the admin had not started yet. I came here two hours earlier, hoping to finish all the paper works.Connor willingly dropped me here in the hotel because he will also take Deidra to school. He enrolled her in the same high school where Amber and I graduated. Mom gladly took the responsibility of taking care of the triplets while Deidra was in school.I opened my email, checking the report Asia made. The graph she created showed that the hotel was already fully booked at this early time. The hotel even had increased its rate, but it didn’t affect the reservations because of Kevin’s crazy idea of opening the portal as if

(Ethan’s POV)It has been my practice to check the hotel by myself, talk to staff, and sit in the lobby while having my coffee and reading the newspaper since I took over some of my father’s business. It was the same practice Dad did, and he told me if I wanted to know what my clients wanted, I had to be observant.I was having a small chat with one of the regular housekeepers when I saw Kevin go to the admin office. I was not trailing Izobel’s whereabouts, but I was sure she was there because I saw Connor and Deidra when they were about to leave the hotel. I am not threatened, but it was obvious that Kevin was interested in Izobel.“Good morning, boss!” greeted Ryzen, followed by Asia’s shy greetings.I put down my cup and morning paper. “Good morning!” I said, acknowledging them. They were about to leave, heading to their office, when I remember I needed t

(Ethan’s POV)Izobel pulled her finger from my mouth angrily. The corners of my mouth turned up, but I could not help worrying about Asia and Ryzen. Should I ask Amber to erase their memory? I felt the relief when Asia blushed and pressed her lips to suppress a smile.“Hot!” We heard Ryzen mutter. “I think I’ll cut myself on purpose,” he cracked the joke making Asia laugh this time and giving him the paper cutter.“Your point?” Amber asked, rolling her eyes at me and sitting down on the vacant chair in front of Izobel’s table.I shrugged and shook my head because I didn’t have any. “I just got curious, Amber,” I answered.“Curiosity killed the cat, Ethan,” Izobel hissed, standing up.“Where are you going?” I asked, almost forgetting that I have a concern about work.“Getting the bird!

(Ethan’s POV)“You wanted to attack without knowing the ground, Oliver,” I said, hoping I hid my fear for the Rodriguez well. “About the knife, I thought it was a gift.”“Gift?’ he repeated the word, walking and sitting on the couch in the middle of my office. “And Izobel?”“What about her?” I asked, looking at the door when it opened. Janice came in with two cups of freshly brewed coffee.“Izobel’s on her way.” She said, and when I nodded, she went out of the office quietly.“Janice never liked me, huh?” Oliver uttered as he picked up the cup and sipped coffee.I never asked Janice about her dislike of him, and I really didn’t care about whom she liked or disliked. I sat on the couch across from him, waiting for him to tell me his purpose for coming. Although he already mentioned Alaric, I

(Izobel’s POV)“Dinner over bonus and promotion?” Ryzen’s eyes were sparkling as he nudged me. “What’s in you, Izobel?”“Would you go out with him again, Izobel?” asked Asia as we all prepared to return to our office.I glanced at Kevin, who was still talking with his team, and he seemed to know I was looking at him. He glanced my way, nodded as he acknowledged me, and smiled. Heat crept my face, causing my cheeks to turn apple red.“Izobel,” Ethan called, and he didn’t need to finish what he wanted to say. I turned to Asia and Ryzen. “Go ahead.”Ryzen rolled his eyes. “Let me borrow your beauty and charisma for one day, Izobel. Just one day.”“You’re crazy,” I muttered, shaking my head as I laughed at him. “See you later.”I walked towards Ethan, and though I wanted to avoid him, I was curious
