Isabelle
"SHE IS YOUR MATE?!"Kaden looked at Layla in bewilderment, "Yeah, she is but why are you reacting like this?""Why the fuck didn't you tell me that you've found your mate?!" Her eyes were wide, almost as if they were ready to pop out of its sockets.Does mate need to be found?"I told you I didn't get the chance to inform you," Kaden's tone seemed harsher.Her rage-filled gaze landed on me, I could see the envy gleaming in them. Kaden seemed to notice the anger that radiated from Layla and his eyes flickered glancing at Cassandra who now seemed to communicate with him through her eyes, more likely as though she was taunting him for something."This girl is your mate?"I couldn't discern why there was so much disgust in Layla's voice and why her index finger pointed at me as if I was a piece of waste.Kaden seemed to notice her hateful stare, and the way pointed at me. His fists clenched toIsabelleIt turned out that dinner was the time when I got the glimpse of Layla again, had for somewhat reason she asked the maid for her lunch to be taken to the room she was staying in. Currently, I was struggling with the steak that was on my plate, it had been long since I had eaten something like this....so long that I had even forgotten to use the knife and fork.For years, there was no need for using a fork or a knife, since the only thing I was served with was a weird sort of bread and plain water, sometimes the bread was so dry that I could hardly swallow it.Moreover, the guards used to keep all of the things away from me that could be used as a weapon, it was an unnecessary step for me because I never had the intention to hurt someone in order to escape the palace. I didn't want any family to grieve for the loss of their loved ones.My lips formed a pout, cutting the steak seemed harder than I thought it would be because I cou
Isabelle.Kaden's brows rose in surprise, he glanced at the door then at me. His dark eyes started getting normal. The unexpected interruption had caught both of us off guard. But Layla's panicked voice was what seemed to surprise him even more.He leaned forward turning on the lamp and got off my body, I fixed my dress and sat up before I followed him as he walked towards the door.There was a strange suspension existing in the room till he opened the door and Layla's tear-stained face came into our view."Layla, what happened?" Kaden's eyes went wide watching her state, her hair was messy and there were huge marks covering her cheeks and her neck.A gasp slipped past my lips, who did that to her? The worry instantly consumed me.Without any warning she threw herself on Kaden, her arms tightly wrapped around his body and she buried her face into the crook of his neck. Kaden looked shocked by her move but he didn't
KadenI watched as Isabelle lightly traced small patterns on the veins on my hand, she'd taken an interest in them ever since we'd come back in the room. Layla had gone back to the guest room although there was a small hint of reluctance in her, that wasn't because of fear. It was about something else.She'd been my friend from childhood but the past few days I had seen an opposite side of her and it didn't make me want to like her anymore even as a friend. All that mattered to me was my mate who was now laying on the top of my body with half of her weight falling on the bed and her head on my chest. I could tell, she liked to my heartbeats because she did that more often as though she had found a strange sort of interest in them that I couldn't."Isabelle..." I called her name and she slowly looked up at me."Yeah?" She spoke, her sweet voice as always felt like a melody to my ears."Are you sure that you noticed bloodstai
KadenWe shifted back as the entrance of the bungalow came into our view. Everything around was destroyed, the windows were broken, there were dust and spider nets everywhere. Our car was parked at the bottom of the hill and to cut this distance short, we had to shift in our wolf forms so that we could reach soon as possible. Something about this place was skeptical, there was no reasonable footprint, nor there was anything that could indicate anyone's recent arrival to this place.I threw back my pant that I had tied on my leg before shifting, Jason dressed up too."Do you really think we can find any clue here? This looks....destroyed" His nose scrunched as he talked. There was a weird smell around, probably because of being abandoned for so many years.The tress and bushes had grown around the bungalow but I could see that this was well structured, I could see tell that this place was once decorated very nicely. On the corne
Isabelle."Kaden is going to be here in the morning."I reminded myself for the umpteenth time. I was terribly missing him, the constant worry of losing him bothering me even more. After that one bight that turned my entire life upside down, I never really found the courage to keep myself steady and carefree.After so many years of being locked in the same room and bearing their torture, I'd found my happiness in Kaden. I didn't want to lose him, at any cost.The entire world had gone cruel towards me even the nature who didn't bless me in fact only burdened me with sleepless long nights. Whilst I'd felt like the entire universe was against me, Kaden pulled me in his embrace that made me feel safer than ever. I'd found peace...in him.Once he come, I was going to tell him everything. About those monsters who killed my family in front of my own eyes, who destroyed my life and their motive behind it. I would not hide anything from him
IsabelleLayla's gaze slowly moved to look at the doorway, her hand instantly let go of my jaw in reflex. From what I had identified as malice in her eyes it unexpectedly turned into terror. She hastily stood up, taking a few steps backward in progress. The uneasiness in her movements was too evident to be ignored.On one hand, where the sight of Kaden made the fear combust in Layla, on the other hand, I found myself the long-lost relief returning within me thawing the ice that had coated my insides.Kaden's gaze got fixated on me, the anger in his eyes remaining unsettled but that was not directed at me. I tried to get up, but my arms didn't manage to support me as much as they needed so didn't my knees. It was then I realized when the sharp pain ripped through my knees that they were bruised, my hands were not in the best condition too.The cry escaped my lips before I could even get the chance to stop it and soon as the sound left my mouth
IsabelleEveryone else had returned to their rooms after Kaden's affirmation, the kit that Carter had brought was now in the hands of Kaden who now ever so gently disinfected the bruised area around my knees after covering the rest of the injuries.It turned out that I had gotten quite a few cuts on my arms and legs, including my lips and the stinging sensation on my cheek. My legs seemed to be the part that was most affected perhaps because of the way Layla had thrown me on the ground.It was my luck that saved me from breaking my bones. I looked at Kaden as he carefully tapped the disinfectant-soaked cotton ball on my bruise, the pain shot through almost instantly. I bit my bottom lip to stop the winch that was about to slip past my lips. The more these small reactions of me appeared, the more the gloom in Kaden's expression increased and I didn't want him to get sad or blame himself for something he hadn't any control over.
IsabelleI woke up in Kaden's arms. Unlike every time this morning, I was the one who woke up first and he was in a deep doze. Apparently, today there was a change in the position. Today Kaden's face was buried in my neck and the warm sensations of his breath were hitting my chest.He had productively wrapped his arms around my waist, the hold was not too tight to hurt me but it was tighter than other times.The smile stretched on my lips, I didn't even know why I was smiling but having him close felt good and full of warmth. I gently moved my fingers into his hair lightly playing with the locks, and ever so lightly untangling the small tangles that had appeared due to the long night. My fingers moved to massage his scalp on their own, and this made him shift a bit pushing himself a little bit lower, and now his face rested somewhere...well, very close to my breasts. The position made my cheeks flame also boosted the tingling that's tak
