Every second before the sun rose felt like an hour.

My heart was pounding in my chest and the anxiety that wrapped around my neck like a noose only got worse.

Elias sat with me the entire time, trying to assure me that it would be fine, but I couldn’t tell if he was trying to convince me or himself. He was clearly worried. If he wasn’t, he wouldn’t have spent the entire morning with me.

He didn’t go for his usual training. Instead, he sat at the edge of the bed with me, glancing at his phone ev

    I stared at Elias, wondering if I’d heard right, and clearly, I wasn’t the only one either because the maid stared at him, completely unmoving.She opened and closed her mouth a few times, but no words would come out. “Alpha-”“Did I fucking stutter?” he snapped and her mouth fell closed immediately.My heart was hammering in my chest. I hadn’t expected it to get this far. I knew he’d stand up for me, but firing her?The worst part about it all was that I wasn’t shocked. I didn’t feel anything. She’d chosen to be outright hostile to me in front of him. What did she expect to happen?As if suddenly realizing I was still here, she turned to me, dropping to her knees. I stared in shock and confusion. Just a few seconds ago, she was being smug and rude, and now, she was on her knees. It was a huge shift and it gave me whiplash.“Please,” she said, dropping her voice low. “I need this job. If I get fired from here, no one will hire me.”I stared at her, unsure of what she wanted me to do.

    Every second before the sun rose felt like an hour.My heart was pounding in my chest and the anxiety that wrapped around my neck like a noose only got worse.Elias sat with me the entire time, trying to assure me that it would be fine, but I couldn’t tell if he was trying to convince me or himself. He was clearly worried. If he wasn’t, he wouldn’t have spent the entire morning with me.He didn’t go for his usual training. Instead, he sat at the edge of the bed with me, glancing at his phone every two seconds as if waiting for a message from someone.“We can leave here, you know?” he said after a moment of silence and I turned to him.“Go where? You’re the Alpha.”He chuckled softly. “I didn’t mean the pack as a whole. I meant the pack house. We could move into my home… if you want.”“I thought you said you weren’t worried about the outcome.” I crossed my arms over my chest. “You sound very worried to me.”“I’m worried about you, Isadora. I don’t care about the pack, I don’t care abou

    The video was longer than I thought it would be. It felt shorter when I was on the receiving end. Ethan had been so eager to rip everything off me. He barely spent any time before pushing into me.I remembered the pain, and how I’d told myself that it would get better with time.I couldn’t reconcile my own memories with what I was seeing in front of me. It felt like I was watching someone else, but it was my hair, it was my body, and anyone who knew me could tell that.We weren’t audible, but Terrence was. I could hear him snickering, and the sound sent me into a murderous rage. It was bad enough that everyone could see this, but it was worse to remember that he was there, laughing at what I thought was so clearly a private moment.I shoved Erina’s phone back into her hands. “Thank you.”“Isa-” she began, taking a step towards me, but I held out a hand to stop her.“I’m fine. How many people have seen it?”“Impossible to say. But before the end of today, the whole pack will know.”I s

    CHAPTER 55: ISADORAThe silence was the most terrifying thing.It wasn’t unusual for there to be silence between Elias and I, but the tension in the air and the anticipation only made it scary. It also wasn’t helpful that every few seconds, Carlos would glance over at me as if worried that something would happen.I followed closely beside them, keeping my hands tucked into the pocket of Elias’ hoodie that he’d tossed at me before we left the room. It smelled like him, and it was the only thing that provided me with a sense of comfort and solace.We walked towards Elias’ office, and to my surprise, Erina was already there. She was in a short black night gown that she covered with a floor length transparent robe. Her hair was in a bun atop her head and even though she looked exhausted, her eyes were sharp and alight.She was cursing into the phone when we walked in but she immediately fell silent as soon as she noticed me.“Why is she here?” she asked, and although I knew the venom in h

    It felt like I was floating on air.I was brimming with excitement from head to toe, and for once, I wasn’t disgusted with myself over it. I loved feeling happy, and I wanted it to last. It felt like I could finally breathe after weeks of letting Ethan and his actions define me,I was going to be a mate.Fuck.“You’re excited,” a voice drawled and I stopped in my tracks right before I bumped into Erina.She leaned against the wall, her hands crossed over her chest as she assessed me slowly.I couldn’t even deny it. I just shrugged. “Maybe.”“This won’t have anything to do with a particular cousin of mine, would it?” she teased. “You happen to smell like him.”“I agreed to be his mate.”She went deathly still.For a moment, I thought she disapproved which didn’t make any sense to me because she was the one encouraging me to give it a chance. I opened my mouth to explain myself when she squealed.The sound was so loud and high pitched that I slammed my hands over my ears.She wrapped he

    Silence.That was the first thing I noticed after her declaration.It wasn’t because I didn’t know what to say, but rather because I was worried if I said anything, it would destroy the moment. I wanted to package it and savor the moment in time.After being alive for over a hundred years, I’d learned to stop and smell the flowers. Time went by in the snap of a finger, but this was a moment in time that I didn’t want to just go by.“I know you might think I’m just saying it,” she continued slowly. “But I really have thought about it. I don’t want to be scared anymore, I don’t want to be worried. I trust you, and I really love it here. Besides, if I say no, it isn’t like I have anywhere else to go.”She chuckled awkwardly.“That isn’t to say that I’m doing this simply because I don’t have anywhere else to go. If I didn’t want to be your mate, I wouldn’t, regardless of that.”She continued to ramble, her cheeks growing brighter with each passing second. For a few seconds, I just watched

    I almost didn’t show up for breakfast.I wanted to avoid Erina and her uncomfortable question, but I knew that would only raise suspicions so I squared my shoulders and headed for the dining room.Elias was already seated when I got there, but he wasn’t eating. He was talking to Carlos who was munc

    I was up earlier than usual the next morning.The plan was to take a walk around the palace, but I found Erina walking the halls in a pair of skin tight leggings and a crop top. She had a large water battle in her hands and her hair was tied up in a messy bun. It was the most laid back I’d ever see

    Once Felicity realized that she wouldn’t be able to get a reaction out of me that way, she decided to try something else.She stared at the food in front of us and crinkled her nose.“Elias knows I don’t eat this. I’m gluten free.” She looked up at one of the maids. “Get something gluten free for m

    As soon as Carlos left me, I went out into the garden for some fresh air, and also to clear my mind.His words regarding the council scared me for more reasons than I cared to admit.I wanted revenge, and nothing was going to change that, but this was becoming more complicated by the second. The pl
