SILAS / WRATH POV Marcus had been in my room for a long time and every now and then, I would hear Scarlett scream. I didn't want to share her with him, but I couldn't deny him, either. I owe him my life from when he found me weak, injured and left for dead after having another run-in with the Vampire King. I don't know what he saw in me that day as he could have just killed me but instead; he took me back to his pack house and allowed his Queen to care for me.Again, I don't know why, but once I was at full strength, he trained me more and did it himself. Over that time, I guess we became as much of friends that a rogue werewolf could be with a vampire. I sit in the sitting room going over that time as I sip on a glass of blood when I hear him finally come out of the room; he enters the sitting room and goes over to one of the cabinets, pulling out a bottle of whiskey. He pours a bit into a glass and then faces me,"That is one fine female you have

ISABELLA POV"May I come and sit with you?"I can't believe he's an Alpha, and he asked for my permission to do something. I nod my head slowly; I am still not really sure what he wants from me. I can smell the pine-bark, pine-needles and spice, but I still haven't heard from Zoey. It must be a side effect of the cord that Silas wrapped around my wrists and ankles. "Can I ask? When I entered the house, you were undoing what looked like a cord from your wrists. Why didn't the Alpha's see you if you were tied?" "Are you sure you want to know? You might think I am tainted." "I could never think that..." "I am part witch!" I wait for it. The disgusted look, Alpha Giovanni and all the other males used to give me, but he surprises me with a look of fascination instead. He goes to say something but is interrupted by a knock on the door. As he gets to

ISABELLA POVHe then makes me look back at him as he picks me up and sits me on a nearby log. He then steps up between my legs and says,"Talk to me, Isabella!"I take a deep breath and tell him why I don't use my magick, "I was, Eleven..."* Flashback *Once Alpha Giovanni found out that my magick had surfaced just after I turned ten, he would watch me closely. With his added interest, I then knew I was different. I just didn't know why. I lost all my friends, and they started to pick on me, calling me a freak and a mistake. I was hurt, but I learnt to live with it. A few times I would walk around the pack doing my errands and play absentmindedly with my magick in my hands.All the females in the pack were bought up knowing when a male speaks you listen and do what he says or be punished, it took me a little while to learn and abide by that rule but after one bad beating from o

RYKER POVI take Isabella into the town to find a witch that would be willing to help her unlock her magick, we are everyone but everyone was getting ready to move on until we got to the last stall where a nice young female witch said she would love to help us. Over the next two weeks I watch as Isabella works with the young witch Imogen but she only seems to be making small progress and whenever she seems to make a bigger step, Imogen gives her a potion and she goes back to what she was. Isabella is slowly letting me get closer to her but again we take a step closer to completing the mating and she then has the potion from Imogen and I have to do all the work again to get close. I stand on the porch watching Isabella sitting on the ground with Imogen working on just some meditation. Christopher is hounding me in my head, itching to have a run, so I take this time to have a internal meeting with him and Jack. I move off of the

ISABELLA POVI feel his hands as he runs them up and down my sides, eventually; he moves them so that they are running up and down my bare skin, which makes me moan and Zoey growl again. He continues this using his kiss and his hands to make pleasure spread through me. As the pleasure continues to build, I start to struggle, as I don't know what to do or how to handle it.It doesn't take Christopher long to move his kiss from my lips and trail them down my neck adding more and more pleasure to what he was already giving me, when he reaches my mark the pleasure intensifies tenfold and I can't stop the moan that leaves my lips. He smiles and then whispers between kisses."Let go for me, Isabella!!"And bites down hard on my mark, sending an overwhelming amount of pleasure running through me, and I can't help it as I shatter underneath him. He then moves his kisses back up my neck to my lips, kissing me with barely controlled dominance as he says."Good girl... Good girl!"He stops and p
