Chapter 39
(Izobel’s POV)
“Going on camping?” Asia asked me when she saw me browsing online for a new tent.
“Yeah,” I answered, adding cart almost everything related to camping. Her face was closer to me, reviewing all the items I placed in the online cart. Ryzen got her attention and joined us. They almost sandwiched my face.
Ryzen clucked his tongue, shook his head, and crossed his arms on his chest. “Asia, this girl’s not coming back. She’ll be spending her entire time camping.”
“Who’s not coming back?” Ethan asked, causing me to raise my head and my heart to beat faster. I glanced at him, but I returned my eyes to my computer screen. My sensitive ears heard some people coming to the office, placing something in the office, but I did not bother to see it.

(Izobel’s POV)Nolan was shocked as he curled himself in the living room corner, his wide eyes pinned on the approaching wolf. We could tell he was stopping himself from breathing, terrified at what he had witnessed. He was shirtless, so I assumed Amber lured him, making out with him, and then she did her plan. Dad and I lunged into her body before she could approach him.“Amber, stop!” I cried hysterically as I wrapped my arms around her neck while my dad blocked her way, protecting Nolan.‘Dad, stop protecting him. I will kill him before they hurt us.’ She hissed, trying to struggle and escape from me. ‘Don’t stop me, Izobel. I won’t make the same mistake as yours!’ She snarled at me, but I growled furiously at her.“You’re crazy, Amber. Do you know what will happen

(Izobel’s POV)My forehead creases while browsing the website to shop online for a new couch. I sat on the stool, using the kitchen island while waiting for everyone to finish clearing the living room. Amber opens the cupboard and groans, seeing only two cups. I smirk. “Perhaps you would want to add another cup here, Amber,” I said, adding the couch with the same design and color in the cart. “I could have it personalized if you want?” I said, browsing for cups.She props her elbow on the kitchen island and looks at me intently. “You really think I won’t be able to kill him?”“Why don’t you try?” I suggested, smiling with mischief on my lips. “You scared Nolan, Amber.”She nodded, suddenly bursting a peal of laughter, causing the men in the livin

(Izobel’s POV)“Ready?”I raised my head to see Kevin smiling at me as he showed his beautiful smile and teeth. I nodded, getting up from my chair and bringing my tablet to check on the hotel.He must have seen my arrival in the office after lunch because five minutes after I sat on my chair, he sent me a message, asking me if I could join him to visit the lake to see the marketing team's preparation. I understood and agreed to join him to check the area since we will be providing shuttle services for the guests.“Yep!” I answered. I glanced back at the two, Asia and Ryzen, pressing their lips, suppressing their smiles, as Kevin placed his hand at my back.I tried to ignore his touch, thinking it was just his way of being a gentleman. He reached for the doorknob, but we were startled when he opened t

(Izobel’s POV)I took off our high-heeled shoes as we reached the lake. We smiled as Ryzen took a groupie of the three of us with the large rock formation on the lake as our background. Surprisingly, the signal in the area was good, which means the guests would definitely enjoy the grand opening as they could post on their social media pages right away.Ryzen posted our picture right away on his page, and in just a few minutes, he was receiving hearts and comments on his post.My eyes darted at the large opening and glanced at Asia when she stood beside me.“I’ve never been inside,” she whispered, sharing her thoughts with me as she narrowed her eyes. “Izobel, what could be inside?”My eyes squinted, studying the hole that looked like an open mouth of a giant’s head resting on the ground.

(Izobel’s POV)Resembling the marking of the fox, our eyes widen, seeing a large canine in front of us. It was growling, ready to attack as the golden dog protected its puppies. I counted its offspring from afar. Three.This must be the dog Clayton saw, and it went back inside, sensing the danger of humans around. Maned wolf bears have similarities to foxes, but it is neither fox nor wolf. Right now, it was showing aggression because we went inside his territory.Ethan caught my wrist as I attempted to continue to walk. “Are you crazy?” he hissed. “What if it will attack you?”With the dark tunnel and almost everyone relying on the light of the flashlights, only I could see clearly what the animal was in front of us. Yet everyone sensed the danger of being mauled or bitten because of its continuous snarling.

(Izobel’s POV) “What happened to you?” Janice’s eyes widened as she saw the dirt on my clothes and the band-aid on my elbow. She left whatever she was doing to stand up and walk to me, checking on the dirt in my dress. I glanced at my clothes. “Oh! I slipped,” I grinned at her. “I didn’t see the slope, and I went straight to the lake, but I’m fine.” “She seemed excited to swim,” Ethan said, not smiling. “Call the animal welfare. When you’re done, come to my office.” “Umm… That’s what I was about to tell you, but our landline phones were having some problems, but I already asked the technicians to check on the lines,” Janice reported. For a brief second, Ethan’s forehead creased, but he nodded before entering his office. “I have extra clothes, Izobel,” She squinted her eyes, checking my size. “I think it’ll fit. It’s in my locker downstairs. While I get it for you, better go inside, don’t let the boss wait.” “Thanks,” I forced my lips to curve a smile and opened the door, followi

(Izobel’s POV)I raised my head when the hallway became bright again. The technicians must have restored the electricity and repaired whatever problem they found. I was holding my arm and checked on the cut on my skin. I winced, realizing this time the wound was deeper than before.“Oliver?” I heard Ethan’s voice.He was running toward me, and I found myself just standing and staring at him. I put my arms behind me, hiding my wound from Ethan.“Oliver?” I asked. My heart raced faster as I thought of Oliver.Ethan heaved a sigh. “Yeah. I think I saw him going this way,” he looked at me. “Are you ready to go home?”“Yeah,” I said. “I just came here to check on something,” I blinked my eyes and tried to breathe evenly, feeling my wound. I guess I panicked a while ago because I realized this was nothing but a wound, no poison in the knife or any sharp object used on me.“Izobel!” Oliver’s worried voice startled me. “You’re bleeding. What happened to you?” He walked in our direction and he

(Izobel’s POV)“Carrie Hamilton?” she asked, her eyes surprised as she looked at me, and then she shook her head and chuckled adoringly. “Of course, it’s not you,” she said, rolling her eyes. “That would be impossible.”I forced a smile, racking my brain and trying to think who she could be as she looked familiar to me. My heart hammered in my chest because I had used the name Carrie before, but that was twenty years ago. She advanced toward the mirror, looking at our reflection. “But wow… the similarities were so…” her voice trailed off as she studied my face. “You have those same eyes and…”“You’re a Hamilton, right?” Janice cut in, twitching her lips as she tried to remember where she had seen it. “Ah! In your file. Your middle name is Hamilton.”I was forced to lift the corners of my mouth, smiling at her as I remembered who she was.“Carrie’s my aunt,” I lied.Her eyes brightened. “Really? Wow! The genes must be that strong. Goosebumps, see?” she laughed, showing Janice and me
