Isabella.Two weeks later, I was packing the luggage for both Treasure and I in preparation for Leo's soon arrival.Treasure bounced on the bed, happy at the thought of seeing ‘his daddy's house' as he dubbed it. Leo and I had regaled him with the simpler details of our trip, and he was excited in every way to see Leo's pack and meet people who were just like him.I smiled at his antics as I stepped back, zipping both our small luggage. Although the ceremony was going to be in three days, according to leo, I had packed for at least a week, taking permission from Treasure's school and getting Janice to substitute in my place for the time being, a task she was surprisingly happy to do.And just in time, the door opened.Treasure ran down first despite my cries to “Be careful!”. I came out soon after, carrying both luggages in my hands to meet Leo's gaze.His warm smile sent heat up my cheeks, making me duck down in pretense of putting the luggage down.He had picked up Treasure and loo

Isabella.As the time for the wedding and mating ceremony came closer, I ended up getting swept into the preparations. Even though most of the place was settled, there were still many other things to be done.I could have guessed why it was so lavish, even without any assistance. It was because it wasn't only a union of mates, but a union of packs. Agathe emphasized all that as she spoke to me.“We are more or less witnessing a years-long feud come to an official end through this wedding. I had never thought I would see it in my lifetime.” She shook her head.Looking at her, my heart softened. I wasn't blind to how frail she was compared to before. Six years truly changed a person. That pushed me to work harder in her stead, following the others who did the same.By the time I was done, my muscles ached from the stress. Agathe had to practically shoo me to rest. I found myself walking to the living room and ended up falling onto the couch.My breaths came slower. Plenty of work had b

Isabella.The wedding had been a success, ending with the celebration of both parties. I ended up staying at the sidelines for most of the festivities, constantly keeping watch over Treasure.When it was time for the send-off, I stayed at the forefront. Sierra had embraced me first, a teary smile on her face.“Good luck,” I said, a shaky smile on my face. I hadn't witnessed a mating ceremony in a long time, and I was already near crying then.I knew the rogue pack would always be her home, but now she had a second one. One with her love.“Take care of yourself, and her, okay?” Sierra said to Leo. Adding me into the equation meant nothing, but I didn't dare say so.I froze once he passed a glance my way before looking back and nodding toward Sierra.“I will." He said, and my heart skipped a beat. He sounded completely serious.Once the Red Moon pack had left, the rest of the Rogue pack members had packed the majority of the decorations, leaving the rest for the next day.I stayed insid

Isabella.Mates.It was unbelievable. Too unthinkable a thought. But I couldn't deny the rushed feeling in my belly nor could I deny the voice of Violet, speaking loudly within me.‘Mate.'Leo was my mate.Treasure lay asleep on my bed in the same room I had before. I caressed his soft dark hair for several more minutes before I stood up.After putting Treasure to sleep, I had tried chasing the thoughts away so I could do the same. It was the middle of the night, but there was still no ounce of sleep in me. Not while the questions plagued my mind.Keeping my steps quiet, I walked the hallways toward his room. Using my newfound instincts, I tracked my way down to wherever he was. And now, in the library, I confronted him.“How?" The one worded question left me breathlessly.I had a mate, one that had rejected me a long time ago. There wasn't supposed to be any more mates. I had never heard of any such phenomenon.So why was my wolf reacting this way?As I looked into him, I felt the ma

Isabella.I woke up in the morning feeling more refreshed than ever.Blinking against the morning sun, it took me time to remember that I was not in my own home. I turned to see the sight of Treasure asleep, his jet black hair lightly covering his face and his chubby cheeks pressed against the side of the bed. He looked so adorable, I had to stifle a smile.Slowly so as to not alert him, I moved up to get off the bed, looking around the room I once resided in. Everything was in place like I had never left. Even though six years had passed since then, I didn't feel like a stranger. This place still felt like home.Home… I was brought back to the memories of yesterday. A flush suddenly came onto my cheeks.Perhaps before I was in far too much shock to say it, but now I could do so proudly.Because above all, I was glad that Leo was my mate.It wasn't the joy of getting a mate itself, but the fact that somehow, it ended up to be him. The man I fell for six years ago and the man I was s
