Chapter 10: The Truth Revealed

ISABELLA

"I want those papers signed," Damon continued speaking, not acknowledging my question as his eyes were fixed on Max with a glare that made me scared for Max even, "and I want Isabella's belongings gathered, without any fuss. You have ten minutes."

Max's hands were shaking, from anger or fear- I wasn't sure at the moment, as he picked up the papers.

"You don't understand. The pack won't accept this. They'll see it as a sign of weakness."

"The pack," Damon said, his voice dropping to a growl that didn't sound human, "will accept whatever I tell them to accept. Or they'll face the consequences."

Cassandra was still holding onto her broken wrist, her face filled with pain and rage as she burst out angrily.

"You can't just take her. She's nothing. She's weak and pathetic and—"

"She's mine," Damon interrupted, and the possessive tone in his voice made my stomach clench with an emotion that I couldn't identify.

"And anyone who touches what's mine wi

    Chapter 201KYLE"You won't," I assured her. "Trust me, Isabella. You're stronger than you think. And Damon clearly adores you—that's obvious to anyone with functioning eyes. The pack will accept you because he accepts you, and because you've already proven yourself by taking in those three boys and loving them like they're your own."She smiled at that, some of the tension leaving her shoulders. "Thank you. I needed to hear that." She paused, then added carefully, "And Kyle? I'm happy for you. About Darius. I know your situation is complicated with your family and Evelyn, but you deserve to be happy. You deserve to have someone who treats you well.""Thank you," I said quietly, feeling emotion clog my throat. "That means a lot."Before the moment could get too heavy, we heard raised voices from somewhere else in the house. Damon's voice, raised in what sounded like argument. Another voice I didn't recognize responding with equal heat.

    Chapter 200KYLE"Why not?" Sean asked, genuine curiosity in his voice. "Mama says we should ask questions when we want to learn things. And I want to learn about mating because we're going to have to do it someday and nobody explains it properly.""Because it's private," Isabella said firmly, though I could see her struggling not to laugh at my mortification. "And Kyle doesn't have to answer personal questions about his relationship just because you're curious.""But he's a Beta mated to a Prime Enigma," Tommy said, like this was a fascinating scientific phenomenon. "That's really rare. I read about it in one of the pack history books. Betas usually mate with other Betas or sometimes Alphas, but Prime Enigmas almost always choose Alphas or Omegas. So Kyle must be really special for Darius to pick him.""I didn't—we didn't—" I stammered, completely at a loss for how to handle this conversation. "It's not about one person picking the oth

    Chapter 199KYLE"Damon is one," she explained. "And apparently so is Darius. But nobody will give me straight answers about what that actually means beyond 'very powerful' and 'intense instincts.' I've been doing research, but most of what I find is either clinical and unhelpful or completely pornographic and probably exaggerated."Despite my embarrassment, I felt a laugh bubble up. "Yeah, the online information about Prime Enigmas is either really dry academic papers or really explicit erotica. There's not much middle ground.""So help me understand," Isabella said earnestly. "What does it actually mean? What should I expect when Damon and I complete the Luna ceremony?"I took a deep breath, trying to organize my thoughts. This was actually something I could help with—I'd done extensive research on Prime Enigmas after meeting Darius, trying to understand what I was dealing with."Okay, so Prime Enigmas are rare," I started. "Like, really rare. Most packs only produce one every few g

    Chapter 198KYLEI stood in the foyer of the Rodriguez estate, trying not to look as nervous as I felt. This wasn't my first time here—I'd accompanied Darius on several "business meetings" with Damon over the past week, meetings that were ostensibly about territorial agreements and pack alliances but were really just excuses for Darius to legitimately be in this area without raising Evelyn's suspicions.But today was different. Today, I was here because Darius had been invited to attend some pre-ceremony gathering, and as his "assistant," I was expected to accompany him. Which meant I'd be seeing Isabella again.Isabella, who I hadn't spoken to properly since the Met Gala. Isabella, who'd been my friend during those brief, precious months when I'd been assigned to help Damon with various projects. Isabella, who'd treated me like an actual person rather than a servant, who'd asked about my life and interests, who'd made me feel like I mattered.And Isabella, who had definitely heard ab

    Chapter 197JANICE"I just worry about you," I said, trying one last time. "You're human, Isabella. Fragile in ways that werewolves aren't. What if something happens during a pack conflict? What if enemies target you specifically because you're the weakest member of the leadership? Damon will be constantly worried about protecting you, and that worry could compromise his ability to lead effectively."This time, I saw anger flash in her eyes. "I'm not as fragile as everyone seems to think. I survived five years in an abusive household. I escaped on my own. I've dealt with rogue attacks and supernatural revelations and I'm still standing. Yes, I'm human. Yes, I'm not as physically strong as a werewolf. But that doesn't make me weak, and it doesn't mean I can't be an effective Luna."She'd stopped walking and was facing me directly now, her posture defensive but confident. "I appreciate your concern, Janice. I really do. But I'm not backing out of this ceremony. Tomorrow, I'm going to st

    Chapter 196JANICEI could try to convince Isabella to leave on her own. Appeal to her sense of inadequacy, make her understand she wasn't cut out for this role. But from everything I'd observed, she was surprisingly stubborn despite her fragile human exterior. And with the mating bond already partially formed, she probably couldn't leave even if she wanted to. The bond would pull her back to Damon no matter what.I could try one more attack. Something subtle, during the ceremony itself. Poison in her ceremonial wine, perhaps, or a distraction that would allow rogues to strike while everyone was focused on the ritual. But the security would be impossible to breach, and if I was caught, everything I'd worked for would be destroyed.There were no good options. No clean solutions. Just the growing certainty that tomorrow, I would have to stand there and watch Damon claim Isabella as his Luna, would have to bow to her authority, would have to accept that everything I'd worked for was perm
