The Beta's Second Chance Mate

Isabella's POV "Okay, Megs. Let’s split up." I said while ripping the list in half while Megan nodded at the idea. "You get the things on this list," I said handing her half the list, "And I'll get the ones on this list. When you're done, call me on my cell and we'll meet up at the tills points. If I finish before you then you'll get the call from me." "Got it, see ya later, Lil' sis." Megan waved behind her, already walking away to fetch the things on her list. "Where to go first?" I quietly asked myself looking at the items on the list. "Detergents here I come." I mumbled to myself walking toward the direction of the detergent aisle. ~~~~~ Devon's POV When Sophie and I arrived at the grocery store, we bought all that we needed before going to Sophie's favourite aisle. By that time, Sophie was starting to get restless, wanting to be picked up at one minute and then being sat down the next. She was yawning quite constantly indicating that it was actually time for her nap. "So

Devon's POV "Soph, time to wake up. Don't forget Isabella's coming today." I said while gently shaking my daughter. I heard Jace purr in the back of my head just from hearing Isabella's name. ~Why did you tell her to get here at 12, why not at 8?~ Jace huffed in frustration. Knowing Jace's impatience, I just brushed off the comment. Sophie got up and started jumping in excitement. I could feel Jace smiling at his pup's excitement. "Soph, Sweetie why did you call Isabella, mommy last night?" I gently asked her. "Because I feel like she’s, my mommy." She answered quietly while nervously looking down and twiddling her fingers. "Soph, it's best not to call her that for now, okay Baby?" I gently said while taking her small hands in mine. "Okay, Daddy." She sadly whispered. "Okay...time to take a bath." I told her while picking her up and taking her to her joint bathroom. 1 Hour later "What would you like for breakfast, Soph?" I asked her while checking the time on my phone to see

"Devon, there is no need to do that. I'll just stay here and maybe do some cleaning while you two are gone." I said trying to persuade him. "Nonsense. Sophie and I would love it if you would join us." Answered Devon with a reassuring smile. Just like that, my afternoon had been planned. "That is sorted then, I'll see you two for lunch." Said Devon already climbing up the stairs. "So, how about we go watch a movie, Soph?" I asked Soph. The next couple of hours flew by quickly with Sophie and I tickling each other, watching two movies, playing tea party, and dress up. At 12:00, I picked a new outfit for Sophie that included a white short-sleeve shirt, and some short black tights that will be hidden very well under the nice pleated, black-and-white skirt I had her wear. I brushed her hair and left it down to complete her look before we sat down for a good game of twenty questions, which is what were currently playing. "Okay, umm favourite colour?" I asked Sophie. "White." I heard

Isabella's POV I woke up at 05:30 and quickly changed into the clothes I originally wore yesterday. I then quickly looked for a pen and paper which I luckily found downstairs in the living room. I sat down and started writing a short note. Dear Mr Black By the time you read this, I'll probably be at home. Thank you for everything you did for me yesterday and I'm sorry I couldn't tell you this in person because I left so early. Well, I gotta go or I'll miss my train, see you tomorrow and sorry for leaving so suddenly. Have a great day. Yours sincerely Isabella Putting the note on the table, I stood up and rushed to the door before speed-walking to the subway station. 1 Hour later I was sneaking into my house in fear of waking someone. I forgot to tell my parents that I would not be coming home last night so they must have been worried sick, so, I'm most certainly in deep trouble. To both my luck and relief, I successfully got to my room, took a quick shower, and changed into

Isabella's POV Waking up in the morning I dreaded seeing Devon today, but unfortunately, I had to face him whether I wanted to or not. So, with a soft sigh, I forced myself to get off my comfy bed at the same time Megan got in. She walked over to me and gave me a hug out of nowhere, completely taking me off guard before pressing a kiss on my cheek. The next three words that left her mouth left me feeling many mixed emotions, namely, shock and confusion beyond measure," It was fate." She sent me a smile before leaving my bedroom with me standing there still trying to register what she meant by what she said. The woman can be creepy sometimes. I hastily did my business so I wouldn’t run late before jumping into the car with Dad who dropped me off at Devon’s house as usual. But unlike on other days, the house looked daunting and intimidating today. Standing outside of that gate filled me with many emotions, it was nerve-wracking, but I found the courage in me to swallow my nerves and
