another one is coming
Izzy’s pov‘I’ll kill you; I’ll kill your whole fucking family,’ Jordan threatened me through the bond as we walked to the area where the challenge was being held.My dad was down in the dungeon with my mother and Finn, and I trusted he would look after them, but who knew if Jordan had people working for him.I felt a sense of relief now that everything was out in the open, but that didn’t mean we were out of the woods. Orion still had to beat Jordan. Jordan had years of experience fighting as a wolf, whereas Orion had one week.In his human form, I was sure Orion would be able to defend himself; he had worked out most of his life, and I had seen what he could do when he fought against that man that attacked us, but still, that was against humans.‘He’s also killed a bunch of rogues,’ Ember reminded me. ‘Have faith in our mate.’While I did have faith in Orion, it was Jordan that I was concerned about. He must have had a backup plan.Orion and Jordan walked to the middle of the field,
Izzy’s pov Sitting next to Orion’s bedside, I felt helpless. I had done all that I could; I had marked him, but Orion still wasn’t waking up. I thought back to when Orion was just injured. I hadn’t seen most of what was happening around me because I was focused on my mate bleeding out, but other people had filled me in on what happened. Jordan had been shouting at his father about how unfair his choice was, and he grabbed the knife blade first. The knife got embedded in his hand, but Jordan didn’t even flinch as he took it out and stabbed his father with it in his chest. The doctors explained that because it was a silver knife laced with wolfsbane, it was making it harder for the body to heal. So when you were cut with the knife, your body responded like a human body would. "Luna Isadora?" a guard asked, sticking his head through the door. "What would you like us to do with the prisoners?" It didn’t register what he was saying until he asked again. "Luna? Your brother and mother
Orion’s povAfter having Izzy in my arms for what felt way too short, it was time for her to tell me everything that happened.Jordan was locked up; he poisoned me using a silver blade with wolfsbane, and she had marked me to help me heal. But there was one thing she wasn’t telling me that I knew deep down to be true.My father was gone.There was this feeling of missing someone, and not just that, I felt so much stronger and so much more connected to the pack. Not that I had that much experience being part of a pack. I had joined just a day before the challenge, but this felt different than before.‘We are the Alpha,’ Knox said, and I was so happy he was feeling better too.The doctor came in before Izzy could tell me more, and he explained what had happened to my body.Apparently the wolfsbane was suppressing my healing, and Jordan had left me on the brink of death. Ripping someone’s throat out does that to a person, I guess. If I didn’t have the tolerance I had for wolfsbane, I woul
Orion’s pov"I will let you rest, but I’d love to talk more after Alpha Ethan’s funeral tomorrow." Danilo said.Nodding in approval while pulling Izzy even closer, I said, "I’d love that too."After my grandfather left the room, we snuggled for a bit until Izzy got out of bed to go to the bathroom. I was still attached to some wires, but most had been removed a few hours ago, and I was starting to feel restless from staying in bed so long. Especially after hearing that Izzy and her brother had been running the pack. This was my responsibility, even if I didn’t know anything about how to run a pack.I got up from the bed, being careful not to get tangled in the wires, and stood up, testing how strong my legs were. The wolfsbane may have made it harder for me to heal, but once it had left my system, my body had worked overtime to correct this. That’s why it took me longer to wake up because my body was using all the strength I had to get better.But I was better. I felt stronger than I h
Izzy’s povWhat Orion lacked in confidence, I had more than enough of. I knew he would be a great alpha, and his choice to change the way we handled our prisoners was just proof of this.Wolves weren’t cruel; they didn’t torture. We had learned that from humans. Yes, our counterparts were more savage when they fought, but what Jordan did—cheating by using a blade—was something he decided, not his wolf.Wolves kill to survive or to eat. Not to see others in pain.So while Orion might think it was a human thing to want to change the system, to me, it just showed how he was more in touch with his werewolf side than he even realized.But we had time to change this pack; first we had to focus on burying Alpha Ethan. Dad, Finn, and Zahra had helped me arrange everything, and I just hoped I made all the right decisions. The whole pack would be there, and it would be the first time they saw me and Orion as their leaders. But it wasn’t just that; I didn’t want to disappoint Orion. This was his
Orion’s pov“Let’s talk soon after everything has settled down a bit. I’d love for you to meet the rest of your family,” My grandfather says.While I appreciate what he’s saying, he doesn’t feel like family. Not yet anyway. At this point, the only real family I have is Izzy, Erin, and Enzra. Fuck, I need to call them.‘And tell them what?’ Knox asked.Yeah, I had to figure that out. Shit. I had a lot to figure out, like how to make sure the cops would stop looking for me.My eyes found Izzy dancing with her father, and I decided that could all wait. All Izzy and I have had since I came here were hard times, and I was sure we’d have more. But I knew it was important to make time for us. Time where I could show Izzy how much I loved her. To show her and myself that all of this had been worth it.“So how long do the Alpha and Luna need to stay at a party?” I asked while slow dancing with my beautiful girl.The tiny moan that escaped her throat when I told her I still needed to mark her wa
Izzy’s PovSaying that I didn’t want my mother in my life felt like I was doing something wrong. I felt like I was betraying my family and being ungrateful. At least I still had two parents, but I was choosing not to see her.My wolf and Orion tried to make me feel okay with my decision. And while I knew deep down I was doing the right thing, it felt like I was betraying everything I had been taught.Jordan had no restrictions or rules; his parents gave him everything and let him get away with whatever he did. While my parents had planned my whole life, I had no freedom or choice, and for years I had just accepted that this was my life. Jordan wouldn’t give me a choice either, but I still held out hope that maybe he wasn’t as mean as I thought.Walking away from home had been one of the hardest things I had done, but also one of the best. For the first time in my life, I had a choice, and now I was with Orion, who was the opposite of Jordan. He listened, he cared, and he valued my opin
Hi! So I have just written a chapter, but just wanted to let you all know that I am doing okay. I'm sorry for not writing much. It was becoming too much to focus on two stories during the summer break and I picked Alpha Brax to focus on instead. For Alpha Brax I have most of the story laid out and I was kind of stuck with Izzy and Orion. I had only written an outline of the story up until they became Luna an Alpha. So I had to think of where to take the story next. Long story short. My boys are back in school and I will start writing more chapters again. I don't think I'll be able to daily though. My youngest has two speech therapist at the moment and both are during school hours, so he has only one long day and the rest all end around lunch. But I am sorry to have kept you waiting and I am really sorry for making some of you worried. I had posted about not being able to write on my pahe, but should have posted a note chapter here as well. Just look for my name.
