Isabella POV

The taxi pulled away, leaving me standing outside my father's familiar white duplex.

It had only been a month since I last stood outside this house, yet my chest tightened as though years had passed. The freshly cut lawn looked the same, and the flower beds were perfectly trimmed as the groundskeeper pushed the mower across the lawn without sparing me a glance.

The house looked respectable from the outside, but inside, it had been hell.

The memories I'd spent weeks trying to bury

I am SO happy she left Maverick there, that way if they keep her or try to pull anything, alarm bells will easily be raised at her absence. I bet Maverick would even say she is probably at his grandparents house & say who they are!!! AHHHHH! This is getting so good!!!

  • TEMPORARY MATES, PERMANENT CRAVINGS    Three hundred and thirty eight

    Barbara POVThree hours agoSeveral expressions crossed Wesley’s face. First came the ‘you don’t have to keep up the act; I’ve already told them the truth’ look. But when I kept crying, it slowly gave way to annoyance.I turned away, sobbing so hard I could barely catch my breath.“Why would you do this to me?” I choked out. “What have I done to deserve this?”“Barbara, stop. They already know our relationship was never real.”I gasped, loud enough for everyone nearby to hear.“What?”Even Anita, who had been crying and hurling every profane word in her dictionary at the situation, fell silent and stared at me.“Have you lost your mind, Wesley?” I asked, laughing through my tears. “I know you’re many things, but a liar isn’t one of them. How dare you stand there and tell people our relationship was fake? Is this your gentlemanly way of breaking up with me?”Wesley said nothing. Perhaps he was trying to convince himself I was faking my shock.“You loved me,” I said, letting my voice cr

    Isabella POV I ran until my legs burned, Anita’s cry still ringing in my ears. Guilt twisted my stomach. I was hurting someone badly, even though my heart hadn’t slowed since her hand struck my face.I didn’t stop until I reached the corner of the hallway where Wesley and I had stood earlier, listening to the drums pounding through the walls. Beyond them, people danced, laughed, and celebrated, ready to end the night happy, while everything I’d built here was a lie waiting to explode.The hatred in Anita’s eyes sent a chill down my spine. I never took threats lightly. Anyone who made one always found a way to follow through.I turned to leave when someone slammed into me.Barbara.Her face was expressionless, somehow worse than the hatred I’d just seen in Anita’s eyes. It was the look she wore before plotting something that would ruin my life all over again.“Watch where you’re going,” she said, shoving me with her shoulder.I caught myself against the wall before I fell.A small smi

    Wesley POVI headed toward the main house, searching for Anita and hoping this chaos would finally end. She wasn't in the main hall, and I was about to check the annex when I found the elders dressed in white, singing and clapping. Barbara stood among them as they praised her, calling her their future Luna."There he is!" one of the elders said, spotting me. I pretended not to hear and kept walking.Barbara hurried after me, laughing. I stopped once we were far enough from the elders that they couldn't hear us. Her heels wobbled, and I steadied her until she found her balance. She slipped her hand into mine, falling back into our familiar act."I couldn't exactly run away from the elders. They wanted to give us a blessing to keep our relationship on the right path and make sure our future together is peaceful. I didn't want to offend them by refusing.""Can things get any more complicated than this?" I muttered."You're their future Alpha. Of course they're going to have expectations.

    Isabella POVThe muffled drums from the ballroom followed us through the walls, mingling with voices and laughter. Wesley led me through a side door into a hallway that connected to the backyard. It split in two directions, forming a V, with one of the outer doors leading outside. Only the maids had reason to use it, making it quieter than the main hall.I sighed when Wesley pulled me closer and laced his fingers through mine.“Your dress was designed specifically to make it impossible for me to look anywhere else.”“Please don't,” I said. “I need to find Grandma Cassidy.”He dipped his head and kissed my neck.“She already knows,” he murmured, his breath warm against my skin.“I know, but I need to talk to her myself.”He drew me closer.“You're shaking,” he said with a chuckle. “You don't need to confess anything to her. She already knows we're not exactly spending our nights discussing the weather.”Wesley was taking everything far too lightly. I couldn't blame him. To him, the big

    Isabella POVIris seemed more excited about the gala than I was. As Luna Lisa's assistant, she had to be there the day before, but she would come home to get dressed and help me get ready.As the gala drew closer, I couldn't shake the feeling that the worst would happen. Wesley planned to tell Barbara they were breaking up, and then he wanted us to tell Anita we were together.I, meanwhile, planned to tell Grandma Cassidy that I felt a bond with Wesley—one I knew for sure he didn't feel.Earlier that week, Wesley had given me money to buy a dress. The next day, Anita sent me one."What a nice emotional complication," Iris said, bursting out laughing."It's not funny," I mumbled, staring at the dress hanging in the room.Iris checked the tag and whistled. "From Luna's exclusive collection. Must cost an arm and a leg. Wesley gave you enough money to buy half the dresses in a store. It's like you're Luna Lisa hosting the gala herself."I shook my head. "There's something called a savings

    Isabella POVThe restaurant had grown quieter as the evening wore on. The men near the bar had left, and one of the couples was gathering their things. Our plates had been cleared, along with the beef special—a kebab drenched in rich, spicy sauce.Wesley pushed another glass toward me. The drink was creamy and sweet.“Easy,” he said when I took another sip and felt warmth spread through me. “It's still a weekday. I'm not covering for you if you decide you can't make it to work tomorrow.”I laughed. “I'm nowhere near drunk.”“I know. I'm just making sure you remember that you have a job.”We talked about everything, and even though we'd covered some of it at his place, none of it felt boring. The longer we stayed together, the more we seemed to discover about each other.I learned that Wesley was closer to his mother, while Anita was closer to their dad. He told me about Luna Lisa's mother, who'd been cheated on by a Beta and later married an Alpha, who then fathered Wesley's uncle, Ch
