(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

(Isabella’s POV)Santiago texts me that Layla is in labor. Against my better judgment, I decide to go to the hospital. I don’t have to go inside the room or see Layla or her baby.There is no risk of running into Jesse. I’ll just go and sit in the waiting room and be there to support Santiago.The l
