Chapter 6

Isabella’s pov

“What do you think you’re doing?” I snapped at him angrily trying to wriggle away from his grip but to no avail, he leaned forward ignoring my struggles and sniffed my mate mark but was immediately repulsed by it and frowned. 

“You have a mate?” He questioned and slowly pulled away from me as we both adjusted our disheveled clothes.

“Not anymore.” I said, staring right at him after heaving a sigh of relief.

“Oh I’m sorry about that.” He quickly apologized and gave me a reasonable distance to recover from what he had just put me through, my hands were still trembling so I hid them behind me.

“Is this how you harass women?” I frown at him, aiming to make him feel guilty, in hopes that he won’t ask me anymore questions.

“Why don’t we have some tea to calm our nerves?” He offered but at this point there’s no way I want to be close to this man.

“I’ve lost my appetite and I just want to sleep.” I told him calmly, my feet were already aching because of the heels I wore and I just wanted to shut my eyes and succumb to sleep.

“Well then, I’ll escort you to your room.” He offered, I wanted to decline so badly but I didn’t want to seem suspicious. If I got kicked out now, I have no idea how life was going to treat me, I still hadn’t gotten over my experience with those rogues and didn’t want to take any chances right now.

Right now I have to act right before I can make any move to actually get out of here and leave here to somewhere else.

“Sure.” I nodded and just then we both heard a knock on the door, grasping our attention. 

The door creaked open to reveal a man who walked in with a calm composure. I couldn’t deny he was good looking but compared to this man standing in front of me he was below.

“Alpha the hideout of the rogues have been found, what’s our next move?”

“Capture them all and lock them up in the dungeon.” he commanded, the man nodded before walking out leaving us once again in silence.

“What’s wrong?” he questioned, noticing how I looked at him.

“May I know your name and the name of your pack please?” I mumbled.

Coming from a person who is trying to hide her identity, he said, sarcasm lacing every word.

“Well, I'm Ethan Bloodmoon”

Ethan Blood...moon?, I gasped in shock. No this can't be true Ethan Bloodmoon can't be this nice. This has to be some sort of joke or something.

You mean Ethan Bloodmoon…. “ Yes Ethan Bloodmoon the hybrid”. He cut me off ,rolling his eyes at me.  

I knew there was an alpha with such a name who was hated by a lot of packs because he was half Lucan and werewolf, so they always avoided him.

It all makes sense how killed the rogues without breaking a sweat.

I was standing right before this man and to think that I thought I had a chance to actually stab him made me want to laugh at my dumb self.

He made his way out of the dining room and I followed behind leaving a reasonable distance between us as I still wasn’t feeling safe being so close to him, adding the new info I just learnt about him, I’m just trying to be safe here.

“Where are you taking me?” I questioned noticing I hadn’t passed this route when the servant girl had brought me over.

“We aren’t done talking so I’m taking us for a stroll.” He replied, turning his head slightly behind to take a glimpse at me.

“Okay” I replied, my voice barely a whisper, silently walking behind him. We were soon in the garden and I couldn’t help but look at it with a smile plastered on my lips, the night light made it even more aesthetically pleasing, hearing the cricket noises and the fireflies dancing around plus the night breeze that grazed my skin carefully, allowing the initial heat I felt vanish.

“So what do you want to talk about?” I stopped walking and asked Alpha Ethan politely this time.We had been walking silently for a moment and it was beginning to get awkward for me.

“It’s still about you, you’ll be staying in this pack and I need to make sure you’re not a threat.” He replied in a serious tone causing me to gulp.

The light from the moon shone down casting its light on him and making him even more attractive to look at yet fearful in a way, I looked away from him as my cheeks burned red.

“What makes you think I want to stay?” I tilt my brows with a smirk on my lips, he slowly moves towards me and I see a smirk creeping on his lips.

“I’m pretty sure you don’t want to end up being a plaything for rogues.” He whispered in my ear causing me to jump at the thought of it, also his breath that had teased my skin caused me to shiver slightly. He moved away from me and continued walking away from me again.

“Are you underestimating me?” I frowned at him walking beside him. I never liked the way alpha’s looked down on others because they think they are stronger, I was also an alpha bit I never looked down on others.

“Not at all.” He chuckled. “You’re free to do what you want.”

“Do you have any more questions, if not let me just go inside.”I grimaced, he had no sympathy, I was still wearing my heels the maid got for me and my toes were already screaming at me for the pressure I was exerting on them.

 ‘Now that I think about it, an ordinary wolf couldn’t possibly face that many wolves and survive without a scar.” He said , his voice turning chilly suddenly.

“A lone wolf can’t be as beautiful as you so either tell me where you’re from or you shall die here and now.” He threatened as his long sharp claws protruded from his hands startling me, I couldn’t move nor could I say anything to defend myself, I was fixated in the same position and couldn’t take my eyes off his claws.

Was I going to die right now?

 What do I do? 

Gosh how can a man change moods, so quickly?

Lots of questions engrossed my mind as fear still engulfed me.

“Are you a spy?” His thick masculine voice resounded in my ear causing goosebumps all over my body.
