32. An Oracle in the Pack
The next morning, Clarissa didn’t mention our conversation and neither did I. We made a silent agreement to not talk about it. Somehow I felt that this whole pack has a murky history that no one really likes to talk about. I have not met the Elders of this pack, which is kind of odd because Elders usually don’t leave away, but I haven’t come across a single one.
I finished my breakfast quickly and headed downstairs. Marcus was as usual in the office. I’ve never seen him outside this room, ever. Maybe because he has to do most of the work. Today, however, I saw James as well. We exchanged formal greetings before he left.
Marcus shot me a pointed look. He was quickly becoming annoyed at my presence, no longer trying to be formally polite. It didn’t bother me though. I took a seat in the one that James had occupied. “I m

Alpha Isaac 33. The Untold Secrets of the Pack
He didn’t wait around. He left, his bestial side taking rein as he leapt out of the window. I stared at the window, preoccupied with other thoughts. Was… Isaac ready to share his secrets? Was he ready to tell me about…his condition? I was confused and shaken. What Janet said…I looked at my belly. My heart pounded as I put a trembling hand over my flat stomach. A child? My child… mine and… Isaac’s. I let out a shaky breath and gazed at the stack of books kept on the coffee table. I slowly went to sit on the sofa, on the spot where he was sitting some time ago. I stared at the first book. A yellowed cover, almost a few decades old, lay inconspicuously on top of the other books. I should divert my mind. What if Janet’s vision is wrong? I have never met an oracle until today, but I have heard that not everything they say is written in stone. Having nothing better to do or think about, I picked up the first book titled ‘Renaud pack’s Rise and Fall’ which was written by Al Mauvin. ~~
Alpha Isaac 34. Doing a Favour
“Whether I treat you like a plaything or as my mate, is something I get to decide, pet,” he murmured. I shivered at the use of a new nickname. It took some time for my mind to register his words. However, he did not stop. His lips skimmed down the length of my throat, grazing over the mark. The cool surface of the wooden table created goosebumps on my rapidly cooling but still scorched and sweat-drenched skin. My breath hitched as his lips made a downward trek, nipping my left collarbone where I already knew a bruise was forming. I bit back a whimper when his tongue flicked my over sensitive nipple. But my restraint must have not been up to his liking because I screamed when he harshly bit the nub and took it in his mouth. It was hours ago when I had sneered at him for treating me like that, which made him angry. He took me against the shelves and then on the desk. His furs had sprouted, but he was still somewhat human. “Isaac,” I moaned. I tried to push him away because the sens
Alpha Isaac 35. The Other Wolf
“You are what?” I had expected Isaac to react in somewhat this manner. He had come to visit as usual at night in all his half-naked glory, but I had refused to sleep with him and when I told him about being pregnant, he reacted this way. I sat at the foot of the bed and observed him. ‘I don’t think it was a good idea,’ I muttered to my wolf. I placed a hand over my still flat stomach and nodded grimly. He stared at me with pinched eyebrows and thin lips for a long time before glancing away. He put his hands on his hips. “I can’t believe it.” I shrugged. “That’s the truth.”“Did you go to the pack doctor?” he asked. I shook my head. “Astrid doesn’t feel safe.” “Astrid?” he asked, furrowing his eyebrows. I had the urge to roll my eyes. He didn’t even know my wolf’s name. “My wolf,” I muttered. Isaac nodded in acknowledgement. He let out a breath. I remained silent, waiting. I doubted that he would ask me to do anything… negative. My hand tightened over my stomach. “Does anyone els
Alpha Isaac 36. Elated Renaud Pack
I surfaced back to the conscious world by hearing the clicking of keys, keyboard? But who…? I tried to get my sleep-addled brain thinking. A yelp escaped my mouth as soon as I opened my eyes because it wasn’t Clarissa who was waiting for me, but Isaac. It felt so strange to see him first thing in the morning, leaning against the headboard and reviewing something on a laptop and that was….something I had never thought I would see. “Morning,” he greeted without taking his eyes off the laptop. For a change, he wore a t-shirt which again was a little too tight for his frame, and a pair of black wire-framed glasses sat perched on his nose as he typed away at a lightning speed. I sat up, my mouth slightly agape. “Wait… why are you here? And…and what are you doing with that?” I didn’t want to offend him, but it was strange watching him work. His gaze flickered towards me. My throat went dry as his golden gaze pinned me to the place. The morning rays of the sun fell on all the correct angl
Alpha Isaac 37. Felice
We reached the town at dusk. Thankfully, Clarissa had packed some lunch for us so we didn’t need to stop on our way. I was also starting to get concerned for Isaac who for some reason looked slightly pale. Even though his grasp on my hand didn’t loosen, it looked as if he was feeling tired. His palm was sweating. “Are you okay?” I asked as we walked down a narrow alley. “I am fine,” he grunts. But Astrid is worried and I can’t seem to feel that something is off as well. I had assumed that the Healer would be staying in some remote place, not in a small one-storey house at the end of the alley. The house looked like it would crumble anytime now. Isaac glanced over his shoulder before pulling me inside. Astrid did not seem panicked, so I trusted him, for now. However, when we entered, I gaped at the circular portal-like shape that glowed in the middle of the empty living space. “Wow, how is this here? But no one knows?” I asked, gob smacked. I knew that Healers had some knowledge of
Alpha Isaac 38. Haven or Prison?
The journey back is uneventful. Isaac is oddly quiet. I mull over the words that Felice said before we left. “He is not bad…his curse…as I said earlier, it can be broken with the birth of your child, but for your sake and for your child’s, stay alert.” Why was she warning us so many times? My hand rests on my stomach subconsciously. Astrid hasn’t commented on anything. She has oddly remained quiet for the whole time. ‘What are you thinking?’ I ask her. ‘We should stay away from Isaac for a while.’ The answer is so surprising that I gasp. Isaac immediately turns to look at me, his eyebrows furrowed. “What happened? Are you okay?” I stare at him, taken aback because this is the first time or maybe after a long time, he has shown genuine concern. I nod jerkily and avert my gaze. ‘Why?’ I can’t help but ask. ‘We need to protect our pup. He is safe but people around him aren't. If we are carrying a solution to this curse then we will definitely be attacked.’ I let out a sigh b
Alpha Isaac 39. The Feeling of Abandonment
I don’t know how long I stand there in the middle of the cabin, staring at Isaac’s retreating figure. He doesn’t even turn to look back. He simply… leaves. I place a trembling hand on my flat stomach while I ignore Astrid’s whines — pitiful and painful. I look around and spot a couch towards which I sway and manage to sit down. ‘Did we just…get abandoned, Astrid?’ I ask my wolf. My voice, even in my head sounds numb and shaky. ‘No… no, he said he will come back,’ Astrid replies although she doesn’t sound reassuring. I chuckle bitterly at our fate. First by the pack where I was born and now by my supposed mate. Suddenly, I feel too tired to even stand up from the couch. ~~~ My eyes open to a dark house. At first, I feel confused before I realise that it’s not the usual room where I used to be but a cabin which apparently is Isaac’s ‘haven’. I sit up never having realised when I fell asleep out of exhaustion. I stand up when my stomach growls. Right, no one is here to prepare food. I
Alpha Isaac 40. Marking What's Hers
I welcome the rough kisses that he cascades down my neck, the nips and nibbles that he bestows upon the heated and sweaty skin between these open-mouthed kisses. His hands are clamped on my hips, pinning me to place while my legs are loosely wrapped around his waist. The deep anguish I had felt earlier has begun to ebb away slowly. One of his hands skims up my thigh and rests lightly on the hip. The claws rake my skin, not hard enough to mark but make his beast’s presence known. My heart has been rabbiting ever since we tumbled in bed, whether out of this pleasant surprise or the fact that my mind and heart were working in sync, I don’t know. “I like this look, you in my clothes. Were you waiting for me, baby?” he murmurs against the skin just above my collarbone. I let out a breathy sigh. “Not…. really.” Isaac lazily hums as if he is not convinced. He seems rough yet gentle tonight and this change somehow throws me off-kilter. I will not say that I enjoyed or loved to hear him refe
