***Bethany’s Pov***After a few weeks as star-crossed lovers on the island, I decided it was time to focus on Jacob. As I was putting his belongings away, I discovered a journal among them. I was at a loss for words, but the journal bothered me, and I couldn't help but stare at it as I packed his belongings. My hand slowly moved to touch it as my curiosity grew. I jumped to my feet when Jacob entered the room, and his eyes widened when he saw the journal in my hand. He caught me red-handed, so it would be useless for me to lie to escape.“Can you identify this item?”As he approached me, his jaw clenched, and he attempted to take my journal, but I resisted. He stated, “You are not permitted to read that.”I told him, “That's correct, but I've already read it,” and he just stared at me.He replied with his eyes closed, “She was obsessed with me, Bethany.”It was difficult to believe everything he said, so I shook my head. He made me believe it was easy to divorce Lily but it was not. T
***Bethany’s Pov***Jacob would be surprised that I had vanished, but I had decided that we had no future together. Dale had agreed to assist me, and I had faith in him. I took a stroll along the boardwalk, knowing that this would be my final visit to the island.The boat arrived on time, and one of Dale’s men assisted me in getting on board. Jacob tried to stop me from leaving, but he was a few minutes late, and I was already aboard the boat when he arrived.When he stared at me, pleading with his eyes, I decided to look away! When the boat began to sail, Jacob became smaller in my vision, and a few minutes later, I couldn’t see him any longer. I was about to cry, but Dale was around, and it would be not very comfortable.“Do you mind if I ask if you're okay?” He inquired as soon as he caught sight of my single tear.“I'm fine, Dale,” I said after quickly wiping it away with my finger. “Thank you so much for your assistance,” I extended my gratitude towards him.“What is the point of
***Bethany’s Pov***I was hungry when I got home, so I decided to eat whatever I could find in the pantry, which turned out to be only cup noodles. When I checked the refrigerator, I wished Jacob was there because he would know what to do with the meat.As I looked around my unit, another sigh escaped from my lips. I'd never been so bored in my life, and I wished I had someone to talk to, such as friends or a best friend, but I couldn’t risk calling Dale in case his phone was being monitored.Because I was missing Jacob's voice so much, I chose Jacob's number from the three people on my call register. He finally answered my phone call after several attempts. His voice was hoarse as if he had a cold or had a runny nose.“How are you doing today?” I initiated the conversation, but he did not immediately respond.“Bethany, where have you gone?”“Do you mind if I ask if you're all right?” I asked him again because I wanted to know if he was okay.“I am fine,” he said in a less energetic v
**Bethany’s Pov***The Luna was a dangerous woman but I realized something when she kidnapped me on my way home from the island. She was in love with Jacob Summers but the woman was trying so hard to hide her feelings. However, I couldn’t blame her if she has reservations about Jacob. After all, the man used to be her twin’s husband.When she viciously tortured Dale to hurt me, I realized that I couldn’t just let her do those things forever. If she wanted to have war, then she would get it. She shouldn’t have hurt the only person who was nice to me from the beginning. She shouldn’t have laid her hands on Dale Ramsay!It took me a lot of courage to do what was necessary but I decided to come out of my shell, and I believed I could beat that woman. Jacob already proposed to make me his wife, and Lily Travis would definitely see read once she’s aware of the fact that Jacob was willing to divorce her for my sake.“Just give me one week to prove to you how much I love you, and how much I r
***Lily’s PoV***As the Luna of Dark Furs, what I did to Alpha Jacob was unforgivable. I totally lost my temper and caused his body some harm. He forgave me for hurting his body but he couldn’t forgive me for touching Bethany and threatened to kill me. Of course, I wasn’t scared, but it wouldn’t be good for my reputation to be labeled as an insecure Luna especially when the woman involved was just a rogue.“Jacob!” I called him when he stormed outside our bedroom and as I watched him leave, I regretted my decision to allow the married. I shouldn’t have allowed it in the first place but I was tempted to get closer to him. I blamed my inner desire, the desire to feel him closer to me, and it was Lucy’s fault why I got acquainted with the Alpha. If only, at the time, when he visited our territory, Lucy was there, then maybe, it wouldn’t be me who help him with his bath. It’s embarrassing to admit but I’ve fallen for the man betrothed to my sister.“Jacob!” I called his name as I attempte
***Lily’s POV***I lacked the courage to confront him again after suffering the most humiliating experience of my life. Before I left, I gave him an irritated glare with the corner of my upper lip turned up. I did not anticipate hearing him refer to me as a parasite, and it was so painful to hear!How could he insist that I finish my meal after calling me a parasite and a pest? What a bastard! The other half of my brain advised me to make a prudent choice and leave the impossible man alone, but my heart was not yet ready to give up. While it was true that he hasn’t fallen in love with me, it wouldn’t change my feelings for him. Therefore, I chose to extend my stay because his indifference could lead to something romantic. Was I an ardent romantic? Maybe, but I didn't give a damn!I desire him.I need him.I love him.Therefore, there was no reason to give up simply because he was apathetic toward me. What if I was simply stubborn and resistant? Jacob has informed me on multiple occasi
***Jacob’s Pov***As soon as I noticed the unusual glint in Lily’s eyes, I decided to change my style. Then, I said to her in a calm manner. “Would you like to sit down?” I asked while gesturing for her to take sit on my lap. Her eyes widened in surprise but I didn’t give her the chance to question my motive and grabbed her arm. She was outbalanced and fell on my lap, and her expression was hilarious. While she was sitting on my thighs, my hands were wrapped around her waist. She looked anxious and nervous at the same time. Was she waiting for my explanation of the changes? “Jacob, can you tell me what you're up to?” Lily asked.“I apologize for my difficult demeanor over the past few days. I just wanted to make sure you wouldn't easily give up on me,” I lied to her. I have experienced her wrath one time and I didn’t want it to happen again. The woman was insane, and she was crazier than Lucy. Lily may look innocent and calm most of the time, but she was a dangerous woman, and her m
***Lily’s Pov***While Jacob was being nice with her, Lily couldn’t help but recall the day when she married him. It was the happiest day of her life when she finally became his wife, and his Luna. Although, our marriage has been discussed by the elders, there was no definite schedule yet.Then, one day, Jacob set the schedule for our wedding, and brought me to the island. While waiting for our big day, he acted like a perfect fiancé while we were on the island. Few days later, I was surprised to see the decors outside the villa when I woke up. Various outdoor dining sets with umbrellas, cabanas, and chaise lounges were places created a vibrant and lively atmosphere. As soon as he spotted me on the balcony, he excused himself from his friends to speak to me. “Good morning!” he greeted.Obviously, I heard him, but in response I merely raised an eyebrow. I did not appreciate that he was not in bed when I woke up.He repeated “good morning” while grinning from ear to ear.“Is something
