I didn't really know what to do, but before I could recover, Ethan spoke again. "I'm sorry, Isabella." He shook his head sadly. "I'm sorry about that. I really have no job going off like that here. I'm sorry."Before I could say a word, Ethan rose from the bed and slowly walked out of the room, leaving me behind with the picture of his smiling mother. I was left stunned and speechless. I knew deep down under that facade and calm demeanor, Ethan really cared about me, but having to hear him open up like that was surprising for real. At the same time, there was that promise I had made to myself after Logan, never to jump into a relationship. While Ethan was strong and handsome and caring, there were too many secrets surrounding him, and I was just no fan of this.I sat there in the bedroom for quite a while, staring at the picture I had in my hand, and at
CHAPTER 79Isabella's P.O.VIt seemed there were quite a lot of secrets surrounding Ethan, and I was just starting to glimpse at the surface. "Please tell me. What happened, Tricia?" I said with my voice reduced to a whisper. "What really happened, Tricia?" I asked. Tricia hesitated. "Ethan wouldn't want me to say." She said, and then paused for a while. I could clearly hear the gears working within her as she struggled with the prospect of opening up to me. "Well, to hell with what Ethan thinks," Tricia said finally. "Emily, as I said earlier, was Ethan's mate. They were all as happy as they could be, but things began to fall apart when Ethan's own friend began to fall for Emily, too. This friend was like the brother Ethan never had, so imagine the shock when Ethan found out that his best friend was dating his mate secretly." I listened quietly in rapt attention, eager to take in every word that Tricia said. I nodded now and then as she explained, hoping to get to the bottom of eve
CHAPTER 78Isabella's P.O.VWith what was going on around me and in my head, my senses were jumbled and messed up. Ethan, as I realized, was full of secrets. Despite our marriage contract, Ethan was bent on keeping a lot of things from me; the secrets were just too much. The vials of liquids he kept in his study and the identity of the woman he would not talk about, his involvement in the attacks on Ravensong pack, and imagine my surprise when the woman Emily showed up. Ethan, it seemed, had a past, a shared history with this woman. A past that he wasn't happy to relive. By the time we took the woman Emily to the Infirmary, she was on the verge of passing out because of her excessive loss of blood, coupled with Ethan's unexpected attack. Tricia kept calling and slapping her face to keep her from passing out. "What's happening?" A healer confronted us immediately when we burst into the infirmary. "She's bleeding out," Tricia replied quickly. "Her wound is not healing! And she's lost
CHAPTER 77ETHAN'S P.O.VI was taken aback when I saw the look on Tricia's face. What was possibly wrong to make Tricia so worried, and who was she referring to? My question was answered when I saw Tricia step aside, revealing the lady standing behind her. Her face was just like I remembered. Her hair seemed exactly the same, with the same haughty eyes that seemed to bore into you, giving you a feeling of being X-rayed. Emily was back."Emily?" I called in shock and pure surprise at the figure I saw before me. "What are you doing here?" I asked. And then, without waiting for an answer, I turned on Tricia immediately. "What do you think you're doing? Why did you bring her here?" I demanded."She... She... She showed up at my house moments ago...I didn't.." Tricia stammered fearfully, taking a step back from me."You knew better than this, Tricia!" I thundered, my anger mounting by the second. "Why would you do this?!" I asked loudly."Ethan! Here me out... please..." Emily started in a
CHAPTER 76Ethan's P.O.VThe whole pack was in an uproar of cheers and praises as we marched through the gates. The men I led were grim and fierce, and none of them displayed even the slightest of emotions, which was true to their training. The pack was happy I had led out my men on another successful operation, and I was back without casualties.I marched through the gates with a smile playing silently on my lips. I was satisfied deep within me to meet this kind of reception. The men I knew were also satisfied with the applause that met them, but because of their training, they could not afford to display emotions and feelings while on duty; this was the way of the pack guard.The only thing that was on my mind at that time was to see Isabella. I wanted to see her and resume the conversation we had been having before I was abruptly pulled away from the pack because of the rogue attack on Ravensong. It was a little strange not to find Isabella at the porch waiting for me, but I dismis
CHAPTER 75Emily's P.O.VWith one great leap, the bounty hunter launched himself in my direction. His movements were swift with precise agility but I wasn't a weakling either. I side-stepped him easily, and as he passed, I was quick enough to land a blow on his jaw. The man went to the ground heavily and lost no time getting back to his feet. I smiled sarcastically at him as he stood up with renewed fury in his eyes. The man came at me again, this time more carefully than before, but my years of training and honing my skills in the wastelands served their purpose as I easily ducked his every attack and offensive move. I saw the frustration begin to set in on his face, and I knew he would soon grow weary. It was clear to me that this man had come here hoping for an easy win. He had come for Emily Whitewolf without preparation; that was his biggest mistake. All this while, I kept my calm. My claws weren't extracted and I carefully dodged his moves while landing punches now and then. T
