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

“I agree, he is definitely a kid,” Santiago says. “He’s the kid who took our picture that night at the hotel after you were drugged.” All I can do is nod my head in agreement. Mr. Singer asks us to view the other images. I gasp at the sight and bury my face in Santiago’s chest. Briefly, he wraps h
(Santiago’s POV) The private investigator called with more incriminating evidence against Jesse. I need to find Isabella at once to go over this. It’s worse than we thought, and she might be in very real danger out in the open. I go to her room. It’s empty. The millisecond I crack open the door, h
I pull back from her, leaving her breathless. “We go…now,” I say.She simply nods.Once we reach my car, I grab her arm and spin her to face me, pressing her up against the door.“What the hell do you think you are doing having a meal with him?”My chest aches for reasons I can’t fathom. My wolf kee
(Isabella’s POV) I haven’t trusted Jesse in a very long time. I’ve experienced firsthand how he lies and uses people. He cheated on me. Every time he was with Layla, their infidelity rippled through the bond. I’d know in detail every time he was inside her. Listening to Santiago tell me about th
