Chapter 19
(Izobel’s POV)
I went back to the meeting room with a blank face. Amber’s news gave my heart a shock that I could not concentrate anymore. Connor marked a wolf from a pack that we never knew of. What will happen now to him? What will happen now to our family?
‘Everything alright, Izobel?’
‘Not now, Ethan,’ I begged him, answering him in my thoughts and avoiding his glances.
He cleared his throat, turning his gaze on the slide still projected on the board—the grand opening of the portal, and they already had set a program on it. The Convergence of the Undead.
I propped my elbow on the table and looked at it. If I were to ask, I was not comfortable with the event.
What if it would really open the portal?
‘Worried?’ He asked again, but this time I ignored him. I have a much bigger problem than this mar

(Ethan’s POV)Izobel was driving me nuts.When I woke up this morning, I had the most beautiful woman in the world in my arms. She was breathing evenly as she snuggled closer to me. How could anyone think of her as a threat when she looked like an angel.I gave her a feathery kiss on the lips, and she responded with a sigh and held on to my waist like I was her pillow. When she became aware of me, her eyes opened wide and wriggled her body when I did not let her go right away.“What are you doing?” She hissed as she continued to squirm, but I tightened my arms around her and laughed.“Let me kiss you good morning, Izobel,” I said and held her head to kiss her in her hair. I love her scent. It was the same as I remembered before, intoxicating and addicting. My phone chimed in a message. I extended my other arm to reach for my phone without letting her go and read Janice’s message.“Yo

(Ethan’s POV)Izobel groaned when she saw the blood and came to me in a hurry, checking my arm. I didn’t know what came to me, taking the pocket knife I used in cutting my skin and slashing her arm a little. Now, there are two of us, bleeding.I felt her body jerking, startled by what I had just done.“What the fuck, Ethan?” She growled, turning her back on me as she dashed to open the drawer on the kitchen island. She took the first aid kit and went back to me. She shoved the small box angrily walked to the sink to wash off the blood in her arm.Tears were brimming in her eyes when she came back to me, taking my arm as she checked my wound. My eyes darted from her worried and angry face to her wound. I pursed my lips, closing my eyes as I realized I had gone too far. It wasn’t a minor wound. Her wound needs to be attended to, and it needs stitching.“Izobel,” I said, but she snarled, makin

(Ethan’s POV)Connor turned the car in a different direction, heading on a road that had been closed for more than two decades. The road has not been used for a long time because the damaged bridge was never repaired, and it has been decided to remain close so tourists would not go this way since it was a shortcut going to the lake.“What did Mom say?” Connor asked, driving as fast as he could.“They’ll meet us under the bridge,” Amber answered as she placed her palm on Izobel’s forehead. “She’s still cold,” She looked at me sadly. “She’s never been sick like this.”“When this is over, remind me, Ethan, that I’m killing you,” Connor clenched his teeth and glanced at me in the mirror. “He has seen a lot,” He was talking to Amber now.“Dad will know what to do,” Amber uttered, kissing her in the head. “She&rsq

(Izobel’s POV)“Amber, he’s not waking up,” I said worriedly, looking at Ethan. It has been hours after he fainted.Connor smirked, returning the magazine to the rack. “I always wonder why we have magazines here when we’re the only patients here,” he said as he walked towards us. He scratched his eyebrows as he looked at Ethan. “And try witnessing the impossible, Izobel. You would probably choose, to live or to die,”I hissed at him.“Dad,” I cried, looking at our father, who was busy looking something at the screen of his monitor. “Should we erase his memories?” This time, I doubted it because it seemed not working on him. Dad was quiet, and I knew he was more concerned with something else rather than erasing Ethan’s memory of what happened under the bridge.“Erasing his memories isn’t exactly what he n

(Ethan’s POV)Izobel would never admit if she were in pain, but I could read in her eyes she was hurt by my decision.“But I want Mr. Rodriguez to do it, not you, Izobel,” I said, and she nodded again, turning her back on me without saying anything.Worried, Amber followed her twin. Whether she would cry or not, this is not the best time to put Izobel in danger again.“Why?” Connor asked, walking towards me as he stood beside me. “Why deceive Izobel that you want your memories to be erased, Ethan?”I smirked. “No one can deceive Izobel,”Connor scoffed but nodded, agreeing with me.Alaric and Zena walked near the bed.“If I’m to ask, I don’t want to involve Izobel in all these. If only I knew that it would hurt anyone in the family, I’d never accepted the weapon,” I explained as I furrowed my fo

(Izobel’s POV)It has always been us, my parents, Connor, and me for a long time. Although Mom and Dad dreamt of us meeting our soulmates, it has never occurred to me that it would be awkward like this.Deidra sat on the corner of the living room, and she meekly stayed there, looking afraid at me as if I would bite her. As Connor described her, she was beautiful. Her waist-long hair was braided, and her oval-shaped face has beautiful features of eyes, nose, and lips. She is still young at fifteen, and she has been marked, but my brother told me he had not sealed the bond yet, and he was willing a lifetime for the right moment.My eyes shifted to the three babies in the crib. They were sleeping like angels, and Deidra didn’t need to tell more because I could smell that the babies were not wolves like her. Their smell their blood was telling me they were hybrid like me.“Meet Alpha Izobel,

(Izobel’s POV)I looked at the piles of papers Asia placed on my table. Propping my elbows on the table, I cupped my face with my palms and studied the piles, not knowing where to begin. I glanced at the time, and despite the hotel operating twenty-four hours, my working time in the admin had not started yet. I came here two hours earlier, hoping to finish all the paper works.Connor willingly dropped me here in the hotel because he will also take Deidra to school. He enrolled her in the same high school where Amber and I graduated. Mom gladly took the responsibility of taking care of the triplets while Deidra was in school.I opened my email, checking the report Asia made. The graph she created showed that the hotel was already fully booked at this early time. The hotel even had increased its rate, but it didn’t affect the reservations because of Kevin’s crazy idea of opening the portal as if

(Ethan’s POV)It has been my practice to check the hotel by myself, talk to staff, and sit in the lobby while having my coffee and reading the newspaper since I took over some of my father’s business. It was the same practice Dad did, and he told me if I wanted to know what my clients wanted, I had to be observant.I was having a small chat with one of the regular housekeepers when I saw Kevin go to the admin office. I was not trailing Izobel’s whereabouts, but I was sure she was there because I saw Connor and Deidra when they were about to leave the hotel. I am not threatened, but it was obvious that Kevin was interested in Izobel.“Good morning, boss!” greeted Ryzen, followed by Asia’s shy greetings.I put down my cup and morning paper. “Good morning!” I said, acknowledging them. They were about to leave, heading to their office, when I remember I needed t
