View MoreIzabella’s POV
The front door to the pack house slams, making my head snap up at the sound. I got distracted from the task at hand which is scrubbing the floor, now the knees of my too small pants are soaked. Everyone is getting home. I have to get dinner started but if I don't finish this, I will definitely be hurting in a little bit. I quickly finish and dry the floor, running down the stairs as quickly and as quietly as possible. I step into the kitchen and start pulling stuff out of the fridge. I am running so behind tonight so this is going to have to be something fast. Grabbing the hamburger meat from the bottom drawer. I pull spaghetti noodles from the pantry along with an onion, the pasta sauce, and the garlic from the shelf. Spinning around to face the kitchen I walk straight into the one person that has hurt me even more than my father, my mate who rejected me. Andrew Marks! My heart breaks everytime I see him, but he is in love with another. I try to push all of my feelings aside. I step out of the pantry, up to the table. Reaching over and turning the burner on the stove on high. I pull a skillet from the hanging rack and toss in the meat letting it get started cooking. Putting some water on to boil and drop in the noodles. I realize then that he still hasn’t left the kitchen, so I turn to see him watching me. He has a look of disgust on his face and I know what is coming once I get done cooking. I refocus on my task, cutting the onion up. I drop it into the meat and add the sauce to it. Once everything is done I strain the noodles and sit it all on the table and grab a stack of plates.Everyone starts walking in as I place them on the table. I quickly turn and grab the container of forks, and try to get out of the kitchen as fast as I can. I almost made it out the door, but of course I couldn't get that lucky. A whimper leaves my lip, as I am ripped back by my hair. I feel my hair actually leave my scalp. My head hits the floor with a sickening crack. Stars dance in my vision, and my ears ring. I can vaguely hear everyone laughing at me, apparently this is the only form of enjoyment they get. Before I can process anything I feel a steel tip connect with my ribs. It takes my breath making my eyes water. I try to stay quiet, I know that if i make a sound they won’t stop any time soon. My wolf Caslin, she likes to be called Cas, is talking to me. She is trying to help me get through this, she is always there for me. She’s the only one. I’m not allowed to leave the pack house unless it is to take out the trash, or clean up after one of their stupid parties. At seventeen years old I should be hanging out with friends. I should be being loved by my mate. I should be able to let my wolf out, I haven't shifted in over a year, poor Cas. My father is Derick Hale Alpha of the Blue Moon Pack. He was good to me before mom died, everyone was. I was almost nine and the pack was attacked by rouges, I was out back climbing a tree when mom screamed for me. As quickly as I could I climbed down and started running. I was almost to the back door when I heard my mother growl fiercely. I froze and she jumped over me shifting as she went. She fought hard and won too, but she was so injured that she couldn’t heal.By the time dad got back to the house her heart had stopped. That was the first time he hit me, I was nine and he punched me so hard that I was knocked out cold. Since then I have been locked in the house. I am only allowed to have scraps or what the others leave over. Which most of the time is nothing. So I have to wait until the house is completely empty before I can sneak food. I haven’t been allowed to attend school but I can sort of read. I did go to school until that day, plus I had mom. She always took time to work with me. I’m smart and pick up on things quickly, and Cas, well lets just say, she has a very big vocabulary. Most of which are curse words, and various insults. But she is my girl, my other half. My wolf is the most beautiful color. She is a light gray fur with red and orange tips. When there is a full moon she is really amazing. The gray glows white, and the red and orange literally glow like fire. She is something special, and I know it but I don't know what that special reason is yet. If I can make it out of here alive, I'm going to set her free from the torture that we have been through. Nobody in the pack has ever seen her, they just assume I don't have a wolf. If they want to make assumptions, I would let them. I will be eighteen in two days. I just had to make it until then, and I was going to run. I can hear Cas agreeing with me. “We will make it Izzy. Just believe in it.” She keeps encouraging me. Lost in my head trying to ignore the pain as they keep kicking me. Most of my ribs are broken now, as well as my right arm, nose, and I am pretty sure my right eye is swollen shut. I taste the iron richness of blood in my mouth. I feel it all over my face. Someone picks me up by my hair, and throws me from the room, and I slam into the wall on the other side of the hallway. I feel my shoulder dislocate and I bite my tongue to keep from screaming. I can feel the tears running down my face. They shut the door, I could hear the laughter, and giggles from the other side of the door. I see red. My vision is clouded with the pure rage I feel. Slowly getting to my feet and spitting blood from my mouth. Cas is livid only fueling my rage, but she is more calm. I hear her telling me to go to my room and grab my go bag. She is ready to run. Slowly I am able to push aside my rage, with Cas’s help. I can still feel it running under my skin. Almost as if it is its own entity. I Have been pissed before but never this bad. Most of the time I throw up a wall, and think back to mom. That is the main thing that has kept me going is I know I have to live for her. The way my body has been violated and abused, nobody should have to go through that. At first I would fight them when they tried to rape me but after being beat into submission and being held down. You learn that if you don’t fight, it will be over with faster. So you comply and just stay still. I try to block it out and sometimes Cas will pretend to be me to give me a break.I felt bad when she took over because for some reason she agrees with me that they do not need to see her. So we keep her a secret. For the sake of both of us. This time i would not comply, I am running as soon as it hits midnight. That is when almost everyone is asleep.I take my time walking up the stairs. I stop in the bathroom that I'm not supposed to use, to wash my face. I use paper towels so that I can take them to my room. Once I am done I check to make sure the coast is clear and the only scent I can pick up is mine. I make a beeline for the set of stairs that runs to my room. Aka the attic.Sunny’s POV It has been a very long day. My entire body is worn out, Caterina is staying here at the pack house again tonight. As well as Simon, they were going to take the first shift with the twins so that Nick, Izzy and I could rest some. Walking into the bathroom I turn on both shower heads. Izzy comes in behind me with towels. But I don't see Nick anywhere. Iz must have seen the question behind my eyes.“He is tucking Rosie and Blair into bed.” She says while pulling her shirt up over her head. She slips her shorts off leaving her in her underwear. Her skin is pale, her eyes glowing like always. Only now I can see something new there that wasn’t there before. Longing is what I see now, also some guilt. Although she has no reason to feel guilty. My eyes roam down over her body. All I see is perfection, my beautiful mate. She doesn’t even have a scar from the c-section Cas must have completely healed her or Crescenda one. She clears her throat making my eyes snap up to her
Zaden’s POV We had all of the usual greetings, and made small talk throughout the meal. Izzy was nervous and it was showing. Normally she is good at hiding her emotions around people. The tension rolling off of her was very noticeable. Able is watching her with me, she is making him anxious. He starts pacing in my head trying to find out if she knows what we have been doing. He is ready to get back to the pack house, I can’t say that I disagree with him. However, I desperately want to see Rosie. “Izzy, are you okay? You are acting a little off.” I say to her.“Are you finished eating?” She avoided my question. This only made Able more anxious and his anxiety started bleeding into me. Her eyes glaze over not giving me the chance to answer. Not five seconds later a door opens and one of the cooks runs out. She quickly collects all of the dishes, nodding to everyone at the table with a smile. She walks back to their pack house not saying a word. “Zaden, I want to talk to you about
Sunny’s POV Opening my eyes, the room is dark. I can still smell Izzy and Nick but it is faint. So it is probably from the fact that this is their room. I feel for the remote on the bedside table and push a button. The curtains open, making me close my eyes at the sudden intrusion of light spilling into the room. I sit up and stretch and let my eyes adjust to the light. The clock says that it is already eleven thirty. That means I have slept most of the day. Pepper is finally awake in my head and wants our mates, I can't help but agree with her. Sliding out of the bed I go to the walk-in to find something to wear. We were going to move my things last night, but we were all just too exhausted by the time we got all of the kids to sleep. Then Nick and I took turns getting up with her to help with the babies. Down the stairs I hear Izzy, Nick and Caterina talking. They all stop when I walk into the family room. Izzy smiles brightly at me and so does everyone else. The smiles are c
Izzy’s POV Blairs room was done in pinks and purples, you know the typical little girls room. Butterflies were covering the walls. Stepping into her room I turn on the light, and touch her shoulder. “Blair hunny it is time to get up for school. I am going to go wake up Rosie and I will be back to help you get dressed. Grandma is fixing breakfast.” I say. She sits up, yawning big, and rubbing her eyes. “Okay mommy.” She says. Rosie’s room is done in similar colors, but instead of butterflies she has unicorns all over her room. Her comforter is a shade of magenta. I sit on the side of her bed. “Rosie Sweety, It is time for school. You have to get up and get dressed so that you have time to eat, and brush your teeth.” I say while brushing her hair out of her face. She sits up looking confused. “Zaden will be here to see you when you get home from school. Do you know what you want to wear today?” I ask her. “Can I wear a Black dress with roses on it? I want to wear my sparkl
Izzy’s POV None of us got much sleep last night. I see Sunday’s eyes every time I close my own. I am scared for her. Looking at the clock to see the time. Five in the morning, Sunny and Nick finally fell asleep. I feel for the link to Caterina I need to speak with her. It opens with not much force. ‘Caterina can I speak with you in my office? It is almost time for me to feed the girls and get Rosie and Blair up for school.’ I told her. ‘Do you want my help getting them ready?’ she asks. ‘Yes, that would be great. Meet me in the nursery to help grab the babies, we will go talk and then get started for the day.’ I replied. ‘See you in a few.’ She cuts the link. I try to slide out of the bed without waking either of my mates. Sunny stirs after I stand up. I place a kiss on her forehead, and tell her to go back to sleep. “I am going to feed the babies and get the older girls ready for school. Go back to sleep, I'll be back up in a bit.” I say. She hums at me and I can hear he
Zaden’s POV The office sways around me. The dark amber liquid in my glass is the only thing that dulls the constant ache from Rachel. I flop down in the chair behind the desk. We may not have been fated, but we were chosen. I trusted her, and she betrayed me. Tried to have me killed, tried to have Izzy killed. She kidnapped an innocent child and acted like she was in danger to get me here. I understand why Nick and Izzy had to make sure she was dead. If I were in their shoes and it had been Rosie that had gotten napped, then best believe I would have killed Rachel myself. My wolf Able wanted us to wait for our fated mate. Being rouge I was convinced we would never find her. Rachel and I had been friends for a long time. She was the person I told everything to. She is the person who was there when my mother passed away having Rosie. Rosie, the sister that I couldn't care for right now. I was struggling to care for myself and my new pack. Though after what most of them did to Izzy
Sunny’s POV Nick led us up the stairs. When we reached the third floor I went to go to my room. They placed me up here because someone with a medical degree needed to keep a close eye on Izzy. Since she and I had already become friends it was easiest for me. Not only that but I was grateful because Pepper was driving me crazy not being close to Izzy all the time. I agreed with her. I slept a little better with her just right down the hall. He tugged on my hand leading me back towards their room. Confusion washes through me.‘They want us to go with them?’ Pepper asks me skeptically.‘I think so,’ I tell her. ‘Izzy said she wouldn’t reject me. And they can both feel the tingles now. That means they accept us, we also know why they couldn’t sense it before. The mate bond had them focusing on each other, then Izzy got pregnant and everybody's focus went to keeping her and the babies safe. Even ours.’‘But do they accept us out of pity or out of love?’ She asks. It is a valid questi
Nick’s POV Izzy had been pacing back and forth in front of her desk for about five minutes. Almost as if she was having trouble knowing where to start, she was making me nervous. Caius agreed with me that something was up. “Okay so when I start talking neither of you speak until I am finished.” She looks at us waiting for an answer and both Sunny and I nod. “So first Andrew was never meant to be my mate, he was just a loophole for me to find the both of you.” I went to say something but she held up a finger. “I went and seen mom when I woke up. Nick, you are my fated mate but I am Sunny’s fated mate.” She turns to look at Sunny.“Sunny I feel completely stupid that I didn’t realize before. I know the pain you felt, the pain you probably still feel and I intend to make that right.” Her gaze goes back to me. “Nick, I love you and the girls more than anything but I believe in my soul that Sunny is supposed to be a bigger part in our lives than just a friend. I feel the tingles when S
Sunny’s POV The shock on Izzy’s face when she opened her eyes was noticeable. She had expected it to be Nick that she saw but it was me. ‘I guess she finally feels the tingles.’ Pepper says to me.‘She looked disappointed,’ I told her with sadness going through me.‘She was confused, not disappointed. She wants us too,’ she replies with determination and hope that I wasn't able to let myself feel.‘Then why did she just vanish with the babies?’ I ask her. It seemed like a fair question to me.‘Probably to go see her mother.’ She shrugs unworriedly.“Why haven’t you said anything before now?” Nick asks, snapping me from my head. Taking a deep breath I try to find the best way to explain it. “I knew from the moment I met her that she was my mate. Honestly it didn’t make sense to me. She showed no reaction towards me other than wanting to be my friend. Pepper and I decided we could live with that as long as we knew she was safe and taken care of. It hurt to watch her be with you, bu
