I got home close to eight.

The maids were clearing the dining table when I walked in. One of them asked what I wanted for dinner.

“Don’t bother,” I said. “I’m heading out later.”

They nodded and went back to cleaning.

I went upstairs, already thinking about the club. I needed a bath, a fresh face of makeup, and something better than the dress I had worn all day.

Cash first.

I opened my purse and stuffed a few bills inside, then went into the bathroom.

Hot water helped clear my head. I sta

Finally! The curtain is folding back and Evangeline is becoming exposed!

I think those herbs were originally meant to weaken her wolf so she could fake the mate bond. But now, real damage is happening to her wolf-that is what Cam’s wolf is rejecting. She’s refusing treatment so her lies and manipulation aren’t exposed.

I’m thinking that she used black magic to fake the mate bond originally. now it’s been going on so long that her sickness and &scent changes are side effects. It’s gotta have something to do with why she doesn’t want to do the cleansing. She doesn’t want to get chance being caught & losing Cam.

    Wesley POV“Sorry I’m late,” I said, hurrying into the muted chamber where the council members were already seated, including my father and mother.Their barely contained smiles made me suspicious. Even my mother’s eyes held a playful glint, and Dad looked just as amused.“Did I miss something?”“Not much,” Dad said. “Except I was just announcing that my formal preparations to hand over the Alpha position will begin in seven weeks.”My eyes widened as the council erupted in applause and laughter.My mother’s grin stretched the widest.Dad winked at me.The rascal hadn’t even told me he was going to do this.“Well, what a surprise,” I said. “I suppose this is what I get for spending years asking you to step down. You finally decide to do it after I’ve stopped asking.”Laughter swept through the chamber.Dad only grinned.The council members turned to the preparations, discussing the rites that would begin in seven weeks.My gaze snapped to Dad.The rites.I would have to shift in front

    Anita’s shrill laughter rang from Emma’s office, and guilt squeezed my chest until my heart raced. It hadn’t been this bad before Wesley and I got involved, but now it tore at me. Anita still treated me the same, and I didn't think that would change anytime soon.“Bella, Emma needs you in her office,” Chloe said.I swallowed a groan.Harrison stopped typing and looked toward my desk. I gave him a small nod before heading to the office.Emma already wore a knowing smile when I walked in.“I’m sorry to bother you,” Anita said, turning her chair toward me. She grinned and gave me a slow once-over before seeming to forget what she wanted to say.Emma and I exchanged a look.“Can you stop harassing my staff with your eyes?”Anita snapped out of it and laughed.I noticed her hair had changed. The silver was gone, replaced by bright purple, with dark roots peeking through. “I know your department has changed and you’re extremely busy now, but my gala outfit was so good that I need you to de

    Isabella POV “So, did leaving make anything better?” Harrison asked.I scoffed bitterly. “Well, at least I had a roof over my head.”When I got back to my father, the doctor said I was severely malnourished and the baby could die. One of the maids would sneak food to me so my stepmother wouldn’t notice. She suspected my father was behind it, but she never said anything.“I’m sorry for every bad thing I said to you,” Harrison said. “I just needed to vent my anger out. I had no right to judge you.”“Well, you owe me dinner,” I said, making him glare at me before he smiled.Iris drew her stool closer to me.“Now that you’re running from that bastard Alpha, why get involved with Wesley, who’s also from an Alpha family? I know he isn’t evil, but after everything you’ve been through, you can’t ignore the possibility of history repeating itself.”“We’re figuring things out.”Harrison and Iris exchanged glances.“I don’t approve of everything you’ve done with Wesley, but you’re both adults.

    Isabella pov I'd spent about an hour in my room trying to get things in order and listening to Maverick, who went on and on about how much food Grandma Cassidy had made him eat and how Luna Lisa had invited him upstairs to watch TV.“I hope you behaved yourself,” I said.“Yes. And Grandma Cassidy gave me lots and lots of chocolate and made me brush my teeth at night.”My heart warmed. One chance encounter with Luna Lisa at the hospital had brought me close to people who were nothing but kind to me without expecting anything in return.Well, maybe except for Wesley, whom I was fucking, much to our mutual advantage.But everyone else asked for nothing from me. They simply cared about Maverick and me.“You don't know how lucky we are,” I said to Maverick. He might not understand yet, but I could at least drum it into his head.I was changing into something loose when a knock sounded on the door.“Open up, Isabella. It's me.”I recognized Iris's voice. Maverick rushed to open the door.“

    Wesley POV Dropping Isabella off felt like parting with something too valuable to let go.Beyond her stamina in bed, which, by the way, I wasn't complaining about, there was something else. I had connected with her in ways that would be very difficult to walk away from.Sometimes I would remind myself what I was doing, and it would bring a certain discomfort. This was supposed to be purely sexual and nothing more.But I liked her.It showed in how I tossed and turned in bed alone, reminiscing about how she tucked her head beside me. I would wake up in the morning and not want to go out, wanting to spend the rest of the day with her.Even that was mild compared to what I had begun to experience lately.The heaviness I usually carried around this point in the fortnight wasn't there. My muscles didn't feel as tight. I slept through the night, and my appetite seemed normal.The life I had lived had trained me to expect a spiral around this time, and to expect being rushed to the daughter

    Isabella POV I woke to an empty bed.At first, I couldn't place where I was. Then my memories surfaced, little by little, until I realized I was at Wesley's house.I stared at the ceiling, a small smile tugging at my lips. My hand slid across the mattress. It was still warm, which meant Wesley hadn't been gone long.I pushed myself out of bed, and everything that had happened yesterday rushed back to me. The way he touched me, the way he kissed me, the way he made love to me. The crazy turn of events. Each memory pulled another smile from me.The shower was running in the bathroom.My mind wondered if I should join him. He was the one who had told me yesterday to ask for whatever I wanted and he would give it to me. If I wanted him, all I had to do was ask.But it was a weekday. And although I was still in heat, I could feel it beginning to subside. I had already learned that being with my mate settled it, and within three days, I would probably feel like myself again.So, with the l

    LISA POVI took that as my dismissal and left quickly before either of them could say anything else that would make me feel smaller than I already did.I found Franklin in the driveway just as he was about to climb into one of the pack’s black SUVs.“Franklin,” I called. “Wait.”He paused with the d

The bastard clawed at Cameron’s grip, trying to pry his fingers loose.“Alpha—” he choked. “Please—”Cameron’s fist smashed into his face. Bone cracked. Blood spray

    CAMERONI spent the rest of the day with Evangeline.She was in bed when I arrived, propped against a pile of pillows with a book in her hands. She set it aside when she saw me.“Cameron.” Her face brightened. “I wasn’t expecting you.”“I wanted to see you.” I sat on the edge of the bed and took her
