A little trick

/-Isla-/

I panicked immediately I realised what I had done. I opened my mouth to apologise but nothing came out.

I was gaping like a fish.

Those blue eyes looked like they had been stabbed over and over in the chest. To make it worse, my mouth wasn't cooperating.

Instead, my hands were clasped together in silent plea.

“I should start packing,” he stood up and walked to his wardrobe without sparing me a second glance.

What is wrong with me?!

“Carlos…” I finally managed to speak. “I'm sorry, please… I didn't mean to react like that . I just…” I couldn't find the right words to say.

“You just what?” He faced me, allowing the wardrobe slam close behind him. “Go ahead and explain, I'm waiting!”

“I'm sorry…” I apologised, feeling the tears stung in my eyes. “I don't know why…”

“Well I do!” He said coldly. “You are still hung over that Roman guy. Whatever he did to you has you wrapped around his fucking finger that you can think of anything else or being wi

    /-Isla-/“So this is what Kael likes, huh?” I heard him snort behind him and then the unbuckling of belt followed. At this point, I gave up all hope. I was slowly passing out from suffocation and if he didn't let go any time soon, I would die. Just as I braced myself for whatever he was going to do to me, he suddenly yelped, instantly releasing me. My body slipped off the bed as my lungs suddenly burst with oxygen. My eyes were hurting from being buried in the bed for too long. Mykel dropped on the floor suddenly, unconscious or maybe dead. Hopefully dead, cause the asshole freaking deserved it. “Why are you always in trouble every time I find you?” A familiar velvety voice wrapped around me like silk and thorns at the same time.I coughed hard, clutching my throat as I lifted my head. Through the blur in my vision, I caught the tall frame standing by the door, his broad shoulders framed by the dim room light.My heart skipped a beat as my eyes locked with those seafoam eyes. I p

  • Alpha Daddy Is My Step Uncle   Intruder

    /-Isla-/Kael left the room later to discuss something with his parents so I was left all by myself. I finally took the phone out of my purse. I stared at it for several minutes before finally turning it on. Elsie got this for me after she got her first pay. She wanted me to be able to reach her at all times but I never really got to use it. Honestly, I never felt a need for it. I left the phone to boot and walked to the window to stare at the night sky. There were no stars today, but it was beautiful nonetheless. My eyes darted to the surroundings of the mansion. The maids walking around stiffly, as if they were afraid they would die if they acted out of order. The room door suddenly opened and I turned to see Kael. “Good to see you alive,” I teased, moving away from the window. “I'm sorry I took so long. I brought you some snacks,” he said, setting down the tray of cookies. “My father wanted me to meet an important guest. We've been talking pack alliances and all that shit. I

  • Alpha Daddy Is My Step Uncle   Drama

    DRAMA/-Isla-/My face stained with disgust as I peeled his hand off my lap and flung it away. The maids stepped forward to dish out whatever food we wanted and mine blocked my view of the disgusting fool. “Is the food not to your liking?” The Luna's voice immediately snapped me out of my glaring contest with him. I immediately forced a smile to cover up, “It is quite lavish, thank you.”“She speaks,” The Alpha commented with disdain. “How did you end up with a dying wolf? Do you have any idea how vulnerable that makes you?”I shifted uncomfortably in my seat, wishing he'd just drop it. “It makes you weak. Human. A liability.” He articulated each word so it would sink deep into my bones. “And I do not want that for my son.” “Father please, can we just eat?” Kael groaned. The man didn't even spare him a glance. His attention was completely on me. “Who are your parents? What pack are you from? Is it reputable enough for a useful alliance?” He continued probing me. My parents. The

  • Alpha Daddy Is My Step Uncle   The First Sign

    The First Sign/-Isla-/A female with a dying wolf. I didn't think I would ever hear anyone say that to my face.The words pierced through my heart so deeply that it felt like my chest would explode from pain. There was a familiar sting in my eyes as I blinked rapidly from the shock. Kael suddenly grabbed my arm, pulling me closer to him protectively. “You will not speak of my woman in that disrespectful tone, Mykel!” The iciness in his tone startled me so much that I had to look at him to make sure he was actually the one speaking. Did… did he just defend me?His jaw locked tightly as his eyes hardened. The younger man stepped back, raising his hand with mock surrender, his lips turning in a subtle smile directed at me. I could see the taunting look in his eyes as he assessed me once again, like I was nothing.“Why are you scolding your brother for saying the truth?” The Alpha hissed. “Is this the important guest you asked us to prepare for?”“Raymond…”“Quiet, Elara, I'm still t

  • Alpha Daddy Is My Step Uncle   His Family

    His Family /-Isla-/It was clear there was nothing I could do to get the asshole to change his mind. I either conform by his rules or let go of the money. “Fine, I'll sign it,” i sighed and he smirked at me. Like he knew I didn't even have a choice. “Can I add my own rules?” I asked him. “Will you be paying me at the end of it all?” He lifted a brow and I fell silent. “I thought so too. Hurry up and sign, my parents are waiting.” I shot him a glare and signed the papers before handing them back to the lawyer to confirm. My signature looked like the scribble of someone who had just sold their soul, and maybe that was exactly what I had done.“Happy now?” I asked, my tone dripping with venom.Kael leaned back, crossing one leg over the other like a smug king admiring his throne. “Ecstatic,” he replied, the smirk never leaving his lips. “You signed quicker than I thought you would. Must really want that money.”I clenched my jaw. He wasn’t wrong, and that was the worst part.The la

  • Alpha Daddy Is My Step Uncle   The contract

    /-Isla-/ We were headed to see his lawyer now so I could sign the contract. After forcing me to pick a dress, it took him another two hours to actually agree on what I wanted to wear. A lot of debate and a hundred insults later, he finally agreed to the white flair dress I picked. The sleeves were so tight that I had to adjust every five minutes. The unsympathetic jerk, of course, insisted that it was either that or nothing at all. I wouldn't have listened to him at all if there were better choices. We finally arrived at the firm and I got out of the car. “You're supposed to wait for me to get the door. How terrible are you at acting?” He complained. “I hope I'm getting ear treatment every month with how much you're nagging,” I retorted and he shot me a thick glare. He stomped past me and I huffed. “I wonder who's the uncouth actor now. You don't know you're supposed to take my hand as we walk in? Like a couple?” He turned around with a blazing look and I smirked inwardly.
