* Isabella *Glittering lights of different colors, wolves dressed up in fancy clothing in their human form look sexy and alluring with a smile on their faces. There is liquor and probably all kinds of alcohol that the waiters serve on every guest's table. It seemed that the pack had made quite an effort for the occasion and I don't see why not when it is the birthday of their Alpha. A young Alpha, even a few years younger than Alpha Charles I could tell. I wonder where his father is and what his mother is doing not being present on her son's birthday."Let the boys do their thing, Isabella, why don't you come with me and we can have some fun with the ladies? I will introduce you to them."Alpha Charles stiffened and immediately let a questioning look directed towards Addison. Richard is also listening and shakes his head when I meet his gaze. "Not a good idea cousin." He whispers to the mind link. Alpha Charles faked a smile toward Alpha Tyrell's Luna."You have to forgive me for de
* Isabella *I waited, after a few minutes and still, there was no answer coming from Richard. My eyes search around the crowd looking for a sign of him but I have no idea where those two she-wolves have taken him I have a hunch that it was a trap and I know that Richard is aware of that too as well as Alpha Charles. But both of them are just acting like it was nothing and there is nothing to be afraid of."Don't worry about him Isabella, I had a brief instruction with Richard before he left so I am certain that he is alright."In between drinking his tall glass and glancing towards me, Alpha Charles can whisper in the mind link. He looks at Alpha Tyrell after a few seconds and contemplates his next words."We don't need to be violent against each other Alpha Charles, now that I see what has become of the Bannister leader. I could just suggest to my warriors to let the clan go, however under a very good condition."I didn't like the smile on his face and the cleverness in his eyes whe
* Isabella *Before his sharp claws even came in contact with the tip of my fur, I exhaled sharply and leaned high above him indicating the assault on my favor. His eyes sharpened even more and he let out a loud shriek when instead of his claws to my neck the two legs that I intended to kick him came to land on top of his head and then he was sent flying against the crowd who scattered and made a way for him to end up against a thick wall."Isabella!"Alpha Charles was growling and mentioning my name through the mind link. I was surrounded and so was he. When I am safely landed back in my four paws, another wolf is already set to aim for my head. Alpha Charles wanted to help me, I could feel in his every violent strike against the wolves who separated us that he was making his way towards me."I think I can handle them, Alpha Charles."I commented without hesitating. But I must have overestimated myself when all of a sudden a hard sharp slash against my back made me winch and jump to
* Isabella *I was baffled when Richard made a slow movement of his blond lashes. It gave me hope that he was at least conscious and he would be alright after treatment from the pack doctor which he badly needed from now. But we are so far away from home. "Richard?!"My hands made a tight grip on his shoulders and I shook him up. The fight between Alpha Charles is still going behind us, my senses are both aware and alert about the current situation that we are in. It was a slight relief that none of the enemies made it through and passed from his grasp. I wanted to help him but I knew that my cousin's life was hanging on a thread and I needed to make sure that he is alright."Isabella."His rough words barely came out of his lips but I was glad that he was at least awake. "No, don't talk I know you are hurt badly and it would be difficult. I'm glad you are awake now, how are you feeling? Can you get up to sit? It is chaotic right now and Alpha Charles needs my help."He slowly moved w
* Isabella *"Isabella! Where are you going?"The angry question of the voice in my mind link made my feet automatically glued to the ground. Alpha Charles is growling and he knows that I am walking farther away from him, but I could hear him being occupied with fighting the wolves in the background."I must see my people, this is my chance now. Please cover my back and don't let them follow us, I am with Richard and the warrior who surrendered and is leading the way."Alpha Charles howled even louder and the wolves of the South whined and some of them expressed their surrender. Following the death of their Alpha and now only their Luna and the rest of the warriors are fighting with Alpha Charles. They might thought that working together would give them a chance to defeat him but they were wrong."Don't trust that wolf!"Alpha Charles was mad and I could hear his heartbeat and felt his urge to follow where I was going. "Beta Lohan and the warriors of the North are already at the gates
*Alpha Charles *My heart was beating loudly against my chest and it almost had me choked out in anger when I came exactly to the place where I saw Isabella bloody and her life hanging by a thread against two wolves that bit her. It was a mistake not following her directly when she left I waited for the warriors of the North to arrive, and when I heard her desperate cry I almost flew towards the scent of her blood in the air. "Isabella!"I shouted with the loudest voice I could ever let out and the two wolves froze and then I didn't wait another second for them to move. The first wolf who bit her neck, I placed my two hands against his mouth and pulled them wide open not even letting him cry out in pain when his head split into two from her upper and lower jaw. I was infuriated and then I looked down on the other wolf who was attacking her right leg.He stepped back and the blood was still dripping from his mouth, Isabella fell to the ground her wolf form slowly transforming into a hu
* Alpha Charles *The sun had already been hiding above the clouds when I arrived back at the borders that were separating the South. My feet sped up the engine when I saw the tall gates where a few of the warriors from the North were now on guard. They quickly opened the gates when they saw my car approaching, and I slowed down just enough to hear their greetings."Good evening Alpha Charles! Welcome back to the South."I nodded and drove inside the gates, I would have asked if the Alpha King was already there but I felt his presence already together with my father and the rest of the warriors around from the Alpha King's Palace. There are a lot of vehicles in the parking, however, not all of them belong to the guests. Most of them are cars for Alpha Tyler but now he and most of his followers are gone.As I get down from the driver's seat Beta Lohan approaches me. "Welcome back Alpha!""How was everything when I left?"He looked at me and nodded after a long sigh. "There was a lot of
*Isabella*"Oh, They are so lovely Bernard! Thank you."I smiled widely at the beautiful fresh red roses wrapped neatly in a printed thick wrapping paper. The bouquet I did not expect to receive today since we had no plan on celebrating my twenty-third birthday. However, Bernard had a surprise appearance early in the morning. The smile on his lips warmed my heart. I bet that he came here first before going to his work."Happy birthday my dear Isabella."He lowered his head to give me a peck on the cheek which I accepted gladly. I turned around to find an empty antique flower vase sitting above the long wooden table in the living room. Then I carefully place the flowers inside, removing the wrapper and folding them before throwing them quickly at the nearest bin."Thank you, Bernard! You are the first person to greet me today."I walk gracefully towards him, aware of his eyes looking at the very tight black denim that I wore with a matching tank top in the same color. The obvious admir
