LOGINI feel the floodgates open. I hyperventilate as I speak. “He said he was going to kill her to steal my healing ability. He said he was going to force me to give him an heir, and he stabbed me twice with a silver blade!” “Easy, Bella. Take deep breaths. Jesse is in prison. He will stand trial, and
(Isabella’s POV)I refuse to open my mouth. There is no way after everything I’ve lost that this monster is taking my wolf or anything else from me, for that matter. Jesse slides one arm under me. Lifts me up. Then yanks my ponytail, pulling my head backward I’m able to shift my position and free
A couple of heartbeats in, I’m able to focus on Jesse’s face.“Glad to see you have woken up. Listen, Isabella, I don’t wish you any harm. I…I just need your help.”“No. Let me go.” “You will help me. You are the key!” “What the fuck are you talking about?” “I need you to heal me and give me an h

I remember my parents commenting that when Santiago’s father was in charge, the pack wasn’t nearly as strong as it is now. In fact, it used to be weaker than Pack A. It’s clear to see Santiago has put in the for this evolution to take place.Nightfall comes quickly.After the tour of the grounds, Sa
(Isabella’s POV)Not having anywhere else to go, I return to Ariana’s house.
