She went to the wardrobe, making sure to close the door so she would hear if someone was coming in. Evander always knocks, even if the door was open, but still. She had to make sure. She had left him sleeping on the log in the garden, brought him a blanket and had come here alone. She would need maximum privacy foe what she was about to do. She ransacked, then found it behind the wardrobe, just where she had put it, after the first shopping spree with Evander. She closed it and went to stand by the window.
The view was beautiful and it was her favorite place. She saw the gamma, Jake. He didn’t talk much and when Evander introduced her to him, he just smiled, said a "nice to meet you." and excused himself. He was one to fuss, to be honest. He made sure Evander, and since she was Evander's guest, that both of them had their meals, weren’t feeling sick. He was one caring person, very silent, but caring. She looked down at her hands. Both of them held phones, the only difference was that one was her real phone, the one she had with her when she made Evander discover her and the one Evander had bought for her.
He didn’t use his phone much and rarely made calls, but he figured she would want one, and he bought it for her. She sighed and kept the one he had bought for her on the bedside, and after making a call, rose the other one to her ear.
"Wow!!,"
the voice on the line said, dripping with mock surprise.
"You leave more than a month ago and just now, decide to call?"
She rolled her eyes.
"Cole, I don’t have the time for your nonsense. I need soldiers."
He laughed.
"Seems like our able delta got a new kill, huh?"
Yeah, the same people who made me feel things I never thought I could.
"Just give me twenty able soldiers. Twenty is all I need."
She repeated. She could almost see him raising a brow.
"What kind of pack are you conquering that you need only twenty men?"
A beautiful pack.
"A weak pack. A pack that doesn’t know how to fight."
She said and he huffed.
"Where exactly are you? I will dispatch them right now." "No,"
she said, knowing that he would never allow her attack full moon.
"I will tell you a rendezvous point, and there you will send them. I will meet them there tomorrow by...10."
"Okay, that's settled. So, babe...when are you coming back? I've missed you."
He disgusted her.
"Is that blonde beside you not doing her job well?"
She said, hitting bull's eye as she heard him gulp.
"Dispatch them right now."
She quenched the call.
"Bitch. I swear, one mistake and she's out."
He was seething and a blonde was lying next to him, her head on his chest.
" Baby, its okay."
She said in a slurpy, seductive voice.
"Of course. That fool, thinking I wouldn't know. She wants to attack full moon and they may be weak, but you can't defeat them."
He laughed.
"I have always wanted to conquer that place. The fool thinks she's going to do something legendary."
The blonde, who was obviously a bimbo, raised her head in confusion.
"You wont understand, Angel. I will send my weakest, useless men. I know I’m going to lose them all, anyway."
He shrugged and laughed, one that held a deep seated hatred, evil and a conviction that he knew something Isabella and the stupid blonde beside him didn’t know.
"Hey, I was looking for you."
Evander said as he closed the door behind him, walking to where she stood by the window. She had returned the phone, and was holding the one he knew of.
"I didn't want to wake you up. Did you sleep well?"
He nodded, drawing her closer.
"Why did you leave? I was worried when I woke up and you weren't by my side."
He was shifting her hair from her face and playing with it affectionately.
"I'm sorry."
She said, meaning it in more ways than he knew. Drawing her to him, he wrapped his arms around her, hugging her and burying his head in the crook of her neck.
" Its okay. With you, it will always be okay."
He was rubbing her back and was so engrossed in hugging her, even though she didn't return the favor.
"I'm not used to all of this."
It was the truth. He released her and looked into her eyes, a look that pleaded for her to say more.
"I'm not used to being l...wanted this way."
He smiled.
"Loved this way"
he corrected.
"And you should. Cause this is your life now."
How wrong.
"Can I go out tomorrow?"
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing, really. Just want to take a stroll outside the pack. Is that okay with you?"
She knew it would be.
"Yeah. Will you come back? Please do. I don't want you getting in trouble and then another alpha comes along..."
She wanted to laugh, but she noticed the seriousness and the pleading look in his eyes.
" I'll be okay. Don’t worry. You are my only savior"
she assured and he nodded.
"You don’t need me to come along?"
She shook her head.
"Just attend to your pack. They need you."
He drew her in again.
"You will be back, right?"
He repeated, since the first one went unanswered. Yes..yes, I’ll be back. And then you will hate me. I will come back and it wont be the same way I left. I will be Isabella, delta of the split moon. And you will hate that woman.
"I'll be back. I promise."
He kissed her forehead and held her close, as if he knew what would happen and didn't want to let her go. This was the only way, she thought, trying to convince herself more.
"You look beautiful."Evander tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and stepped back to look at her again. She smiled."I can't believe you're going out like this. Someone may kidnap you or...or..you know."She laughed, humorlessly. The only one who's dangerous here is me."Stop, its okay. I will be back really soon."She had received a text earlier and the men she had asked for were already at their rendezvous point."Are you sure you don't want me to comealong?"His hands were on both her shoulders. As usual, he was wearing white from head to toe, with his silver ring and blonde hair."I will be okay."He nodded, not quite letting her go. She moved away, putting some distance between them, then turned to the bed to get her phone. She stood straight as he hugged her from behind."I don't know why, but I have a bad feeling about this."Her heart was beating wildly in her chest, as she knew he
"Alec! Alec!!! Hey!"Evander was running towards Alec, who was standing at the front of the gate, just where he and Jake had left him."Alec! I know you are angry, but come in. Someone is coming for us."He could only see him, and was running to him, his mind too clouded to make sense of the chaos around him. He was just in time to see three bullets penetrate Alec. Alec fell to his knees, not quite dead, and he saw his head severe from his body. Evander almost passedout.He saw more people running towards him, and away from where he stood, he saw about five men pouring what seemed to be petroleum on the houses, setting them on fire. It all happened so fast, it seemed to him like he was in a 3D film."Evander, get out of here. Even if we all die, we still need you."Jake was holding his hand, running, before they both tripped, hitting the ground, tears filling Evander's eyes. His hands were wrapped around J
"Jake, Alec. Take her to the punishment room. Just leave when you are done. I want to be alone."Evander's voice was so low, they could hardly hear. Jake and Alec looked at each other. They didn’t have a punishment room. Only a correction room, and that was where they left her. Alec glared as he kept her on the available seat, pointing at her with a flashlight. The room was entirely dark, except for his light. She glared back."You have the guts to glare at me, You..""Alec, lets leave."Jake said, holding his hand. Alec fought it out of his grip."She killed all of us, Jake. She killed us, burnt down our houses, she betrayed our Alpha. You just want to let her be? You know Evander. He wont ever do anything to her. He's hurting, all because of her, and he wont ever retaliate."Jake sighed."We are full moon. We are peaceful, we are serenity. We are unity, we are harmony. We are love and trust and virtue. We are forgi
"Jake, where is he?"He looked solemn."Alpha Evander needs his time alone."He kept the food on the bedside table and turned."And the chocolate? Ice cream? Every night, you drop them here."He shook his head and turned to face her."I don't. What? Do you care now?""What are you saying?"He chuckled darkly and sat on the floor, close to the bed."Have you ever, throughout your two weeks here, thought about howthings would be, if Evander didn't possess the gift he had? We would all be dead. You would go back to your pack as the powerful delta who conquered the one pack no one has ever attacked. Evander would be dead too. He would rather commit suicide than watch his pack members die. Do you know what brought us back? The love he has for us. You betrayed that love. You took his transparent glass heart,"he took out a glass figurine from the bedside."And you smashed it on the w
"An official letter from the alpha of split moon, Alpha Cole Richardson, to the Alpha of full moon, Alpha Evander Merchant."He stopped a bit and the stenographer scribbled fast. That was the way of the packs in the three moons wolf country. They always used letters for official purposes."The recent attempt to attack the full moon pack by my delta, Delta Isabella Cullen, has been without my prior consent. It is not hidden from you that her erratic actions has caused us the loss of twenty soldiers, who has served this pack with so much dedication whilethey were alive. You can, as your offender, do what you see fit, but as my and my pack's criminal, she is hereby, banished from this pack. She is to never step foot in this pack and if she does, she can be killed on sight. This is my final judgment, by the power vested on me as Alpha of the split moon, chosen and anointed by the moon goddess to lead my pack to prosperity."He finished, a glint of pride in his
"You are too weak. You need to strengthen your defense."The martial arts instructor said, touching his hands to strengthen his form. Evander groaned in frustration."I'm sorry, Alpha."He looked at him."Let's take a break."Evander said calmly. The other man nodded and exited the plain room, leaving Evander sitting on the floor, his eyes stinging with emotions that ran deeper than the eyes could see, much closer and as associated to a strong, black haired, green eyed delta."Evander."He froze, recognizing the voice to belong to the woman who made his heart strings stretch."Why are you here?"She came in front of him. She was wearing the exact style of clothes she had worn when she had attacked him, except the red cape."You're training?""Leave. This is none of your business."She held his arm."Let me train you. No one can do it
"What happened to him? You tried to kill him again, didn’t you?""Alec""what?”“ She tried before."Isabella didn't answer, she was carrying Evander on her back, taking him to her room."U hmm..Isabella, give him to me. He must be heavy."She shook her head."I can handle it""give him to us. Why are you taking him to your room?""Because i want to."She completed the flight of stairs and entered the room, closing it behind her."You seriously let her carry him? What if something happens?""She will take care of him, Alec. I'm sure you know that.”Alec scoffed."But what do you think happened toEvander? He was bleeding from his head.""He will heal. You know that."Alec sighed."Let's go. I need to take care of the oldie's transport to new moon against the time he will regain consci
The sound of shattered glasses reached her ear as she stood in front of the closed door of his office. She didn't attempt to go in or stop him. He had to let it out. This was the first time he ever did something like this, and she had to allow him. Things reeled in her mind.She was part of the problem. She was one of those people who he loved and had hurt him. She had taken advantage of his kindness too. She fell to her knees, all the things she had buried deep inside, overflowing. How could she do this? How could she hurt the only person who ever ignited and emotion in her so bad?She remembered the way he fell when he heard thegunshots. She remembered the way he looked at her when she touched his cheek and called him weak. She allowed herself to go down on her knees."Evander. I'm...I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. Please...please forgive me."She mumbled, her hands clasped to her face, her mouth open, trying to stop her tears. Why did she hurt
