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
(Isabella’s POV)“Isabella, Jesse called…again.” Ariana hangs up the landline. I roll my eyes. “That tracks. He’s called my cell so many times my voicemail box is full.” Levi raises an eyebrow. “One call to Santiago could put a stop to that.” Shaking my head, I walk into the kitchen to find somet

(Isabella’s POV)I felt my body freeze. Contract mate? “I’m willing to work with you, Isabella, but only if you agree to become my contract mate and appear whenever I need you,” Santiago says. Nausea hits my still frozen form as the anxiety rolls through my body like waves at high tide. I don’t u
Drugs or not, that man had you plenty aroused at the hotel. You and I both know what could have happened if he hadn’t stopped things, my wolf chastises…and you should admit he could have us now, if he were to try…Shut up, I tell her.“There is no expectation of sex. In fact, there will be no sexual
(Santiago’s POV)When Bella exited my car, my wolf howled. It was all I could do to keep my hands on the wheel and get the hell out before he changed my mind. When I got home, I drank until sleep overtook me. Trapped in this dream is worse than my wolf driving me feral. I’m sweating…tossing and turn
(Isabella’s POV)“I’ve drawn up the contract,” Santiago says “I went ahead and signed in the appropriate places for my part. The paperwork is at my place.
