“There is no way in hell you are going to convince me that it was not what it looked like!” I shout … I’ve spent the past four years living a lie. “Where the hell are you going dressed like that?” Eli growls, and I see the jealousy burn in his eyes. “Out!” I glare at him. A couple of weeks later, my entire life is turned upside down when I meet Silas and find out that my one-night stand with him will change my life forever. Will Silas love me the way I’ve always wanted to be loved? Or will secrets destroy my life?

He smiles when he informs us that I’m just a little dehydrated and that I will recover completely in the next day or two.We return home, and I think about the twins. I haven’t spoken to them since before I went into heat. I’m actually embarrassed. Maybe I should just reject them, so I won’t have to ever see either of them ever again!“Hi, Babygirl!” Aunt Helena’s voice echoes down the passage as soon as we walk into the house and my heart just sinks to my shoes! “How are you feeling? I also had a four-day heat, and it was just awful! I was tired for a week after all that.” She rambles on as always, without giving me a chance to say anything.Mom is kind enough to guide us into the kitchen where she prepares some sandwiches and coffee while I bring Aunt Helena up to speed on what the doctor said. I know she will tell the boys, so I won’t have to call them.“So,” Helena looks
IsabellaThe pain is excruciating and at the same time it’s calling my mind to places I’ve never gone. All I can see are glistening male bodies. All I can hear are pleasurable moans. All I can smell is sex and sweat, and I’ve never even done the deed! I don’t know how it should smell.I hear voices around me, but I can’t make out what they are saying, and I have no idea how much time passes before I open my eyes and find my mom sitting beside me. She has a cold cloth in one hand that she’s rinsing.“Hi, sweetheart.” She smiles as she places it on my forehead. “No, don’t try to sit up. Just rest.” She softly pushes me back onto the pillow when I try to sit up. My head is pounding, and I feel my cheeks turn bright red when the memory of the images floods my mind.“What happened?” I ask, even though I already know.“You went into heat, but we’ve kept you safe. I’ll be right back. I need to let everyone know that it’s over.” She pats me on the shoulder as she gets up. “You just rest. Don’
Andrew“We wouldn’t be worrying now if you didn’t pull that damn stunt! I warned you, Andrew. Isabella is not like your other girls.” Jake growls at me and I roll my eyes.“I know how stupid it was. I just thought, since Hunter mentioned that she mentioned that she wanted romance, I could give it to her.” I pull my fingers through my hair before looking at my brother. “Besides, why are you upset? I’m the one that made the mistake, not you, and now she probably likes you more.”“I’m upset because there is the very real possibility that she might just decide to reject both of us!” He pours two glasses of bourbon and hands me one before emptying his.“She is not going to reject you both.” Mom walks in with dad right behind her and I roll my eyes and almost fall into my chair. I sit and study my family for a split second.“How do you know that?” As usual, Jack is the one that speaks up while I take the time to listen … If only I followed the advice I was given!“Because I know Isabella.”
Isabella“What did you not understand about me needing time?!” I don’t even wait for my parents to say something as I growl at the two men in front of me. I’ve noticed small differences between them when we went on our dates.Jack’s left ear is just a smidge lower than his right. Andrew’s ears are straight though. Andrew has a strange brown fleck in his green eyes, but Jack doesn’t have that. Small things like that.“Look, I’m sorry. That is why both of us are here. I’ve already apologized to Jack, and I’m here to apologize to you in front of him. Don’t penalize us both because I made one mistake. I just wanted to impress you.” Andrew pleads, but I shake my head.“Coming here just goes to show that you learned nothing! I said to stay away. That’s what I need. Time away from both of you so that I can think straight about all of this.” I glare at both of them, taking a moment on each of them so that they get it.“We are sorry, Isabella. We just wanted to clear the air. We will go.” Jack
IsabellaAndrew waits until I’m seated and then slides in beside me. He orders wine and as soon as the waitress is gone, his eyes settle on me.“So, tell me something about you that nobody knows.” He raises an amused eyebrow and I burst out laughing.“Hmm, that’s difficult since we kind of grew up together.” I sit back and study him for a moment while I try to think of something. “I secretly eat peanut butter from the tub with a spoon.” I feel my cheeks turn bright red when he laughs.“I do that too!” He sits back as the waitress appears to pour some wine. Andrew tastes it and he nods. Once we each have a drink and the waitress has taken our order, I turn the tables on Andrew.“What about you? What is something about you that nobody knows?” I almost squint, trying to study him carefully. I like where this is going. I feel really comfortable with him. Jack was easy to talk to but not as interesting as Andrew.“I love old cars. I’ve never owned one, and I’ve never told anybody, but I wo
IsabellaWe arrive at a restaurant and I feel Jack's hand softly rest on my lower back as he lets me walk in front of him to our table. He even pulls out the chair for me and I take a seat. He almost runs to his chair and makes himself comfortable.The waitress hands us the menu, and I’m happy to let Jack order some wine for us. We silently wait a minute for the waitress to return with the wine, and I have to fight to not smile when I see Jack fidgeting with his tie.He is nervous. He is probably even more nervous than I am. We place our order for dinner and then an awkward silence falls as we sit there in the beautiful restaurant. Jack fidgets with his tie and then his napkin, and finally I can’t do that anymore.“So, what are your plans for your future?” Yeah, not my best moment. He is the beta. I know that.“My brother …” Jack starts, then frowns. “Well, he is a huge part of my future, I guess.” He starts to fidget with his cutlery and our food finally arrives, giving us a couple o
IsabellaThe second I hear them aiming to go at each other, I threaten them with rejection and they stop. It makes me feel a little like they are unruly toddlers that are in serious need of a spanking! How on earth do they run the pack as alpha and beta when they can’t get along?!I hang up, still feeling frustrated. I’m convinced that Andrew is going to try and crash the first date and decide to send him a text to tell him that if so, much as dares crash the date, I’m going to reject him. It’s infuriating that I even have to put up these boundaries, but I have no other choice.If I’m going to get through this process and pick one, I’m going to have to be the one in charge. I can’t give either of them an inch. I really want to give them each the opportunity to sweep me off my feet. I want to give them each a fair shake, so to speak.I would love to just have my mate and live the happy life I see my brothers having. I’ve also decided that there is no way in hell I can be mated to them
Isabella“Hey, Babygirl. I’m so sorry about my boys. I swear they are going to be the death of me.” Auntie Helena has been one of the most incredible women in my life. She’s not family by blood, but she has been like my mom’s sister all these years.She has been my aunt since the day I was born, which kind of makes it really strange that I’m mated to both her boys.“Hi, no, it’s fine. It was just a vase.” I don’t believe it’s her fault that they are acting the way they do, and I honestly don’t want her to apologize.“A vase?!” She sounds confused, and I know instantly that Andrew and Jack didn’t tell her what happened.“Yes, they broke one of mom’s vases.” I sigh, wondering if I should even have told her, but I’ve never felt the need to lie to her. I’ve never hidden anything from Helena. “Anyway, it’s okay. It wasn’t one of her sentimental pieces. You know mom. She’s probably already forgotten about it.” I have to focus her attention on what I need to know and not the broken vase.“I
Isabella“Okay, Isabella, I know what you said, but …” He holds up both his hands in submission, but I interrupt him.“There are no butts! I told you to give me time. I told you I will pick who goes first and bugging me isn’t going to get me to my decision any faster.” I try my best to focus on anger and not the incredible hunger I suddenly feel for him.What the hell is wrong with me?! I nearly roll my eyes when my mind tries to figure out what is underneath his clothes. It won’t take much to figure it out. I’ve seen him in his swimming trunks. I’ve seen him without a shirt. Besides, his dang clothes are so tight, it leaves very little to the imagination!“Isabella, just hear me out.” He is pleading, but I don’t want to hear any of it. I really don’t want to give either one the advantage over the other. I’m about to say something when Jack bursts through the front door, and he goes straight for Andrew.“You bastard!” With his momentum, he pushes Andrew up and over the chair which top
LyraAs I run back home with tears streaming down my eyes, the image I just saw won’t leave my mind. I knew this was happening. That’s the worst part. Deep down, I knew that Eli was cheating on me. I just ignored all the damn signs.It’s hope. Hope that made me believe that Eli loved me. Hope that we will have a beautiful future. Hope that my life will be filled with joy. Hope is what blinded me to the reality of what was really happening.I’m humiliated. If I could see it, then surely the entire pack knows! My mind goes through the list of my friends and I wonder how many of them knew as I storm into our home. How many people knew that my mate has been sleeping with my best friend?“Lyra! Stop!” Eli shouts, but I don’t want to listen to a word he has to say. I’m done being told that I am imagining things. I’m done thinking that I’m going crazy. I felt that something was wrong and went to talk to the person I thought was my friend, only to find my husband between her legs!“LYRA!” Eli...
