Finding answers.

Isabella.I let out a slight sound as I brushed against the soft fabric. That was the most I realized that I wasn't alone.I turned to find him right there, his blue were soft yet dark, making my breath hitch. “Leo…”His face drew nearer, no. His entire frame drew nearer, meddling with mine. The feeling of flesh against flesh brought heat through me.I wanted this.Slowly, his hand traced along the side of my fingers. A movement which was supposed to be simple enough brought goosebumps to me. Even worse, they made me feel even warmer.I let my hand lay on his face,caressing it lightly. Without thinking, I leaned in to kiss him.My eyes sparked open right before I furiously sat up breathing heavily. I looked to my side to find that it was my other hand fixated on my upper arm, drawing right where it happened in my dreams. I immediately whipped my hand away, using both hands to card through my hair.What was that? I wondered, my breaths had lightened, yet my heart hadn't stopped poun

Seeking for advice.

Isabella.After waiting for a few seconds, Sierra's voice came through the phone.“Izzy? I'm here. What's up?" She asked.I sucked in my breath, trying to calm myself down before I said a word “Sierra, I need your help."She remained quiet all through, listening to me. I managed to state every single detail in spite of the heat that rolled up my cheeks as I spoke. I had to make sure that none of the people in the vicinity could hear me but I still felt mortified nonetheless. By the time I was done, I was sure that my cheeks were flaming and I would never live this down. Sierra, on the other side of the line, hadn't said a word throughout and the silence continued after the last words left my lips. I looked at the phone waiting for the longest time for any sound, but there was none.Suddenly, a sharp laugh came from the other side, making my eyes widen and my flush flare up again. Sierra laughed on the other side for what seemed to be a long time.I whispered into my phone, whining.

Surprise visitation.

Leo.I called Gino into my office.“Has there been any security breaches?” I asked, referring to the city. Gino shook his head. “None at all. The Red moon pack hasn't informed us of anything either.”I relaxed, pushing out my breath as I rested my chin lightly on my interwoven hands. “Then, all is well," I said, slightly relieved.Due to the Red Moon Pack's obscure and neutral nature and the lack of 'validity' my pack, many rogues and lone wolves stayed in the city, some had heard rumors mostly surrounding me. Back then, I went after them on my own, disregarding the other pack. They may have captured some other rogues, but then it was none of my business. Now however, following Sierra and Damian's ascension to Alpha and Luna and our agreement, we were now watching each other's backs. Any threat to the city was informed by both packs. There was still plenty to get used to regarding the matter. However, so far over the past few months, this has worked pleasantly.I was roused out of

So be it!

Leo.I didn't waste any more time in going back after that. Following the security check, I gave a few instructions before handing over the rest. When I came out, Gino was still outside. It was as though he read my mind when he looked at me looking ready to leave. It was more likely that he knew me too well. I had never abandoned work, and there were very few reasons for me to do so. Sierra was safe wherever she was at the moment, so that narrowed it to one. He gave me an assured smile before exhoing my thought.“I'll take care of the rest." He said, jerking his chin forward. “Go be with your woman."‘My woman.’ That was most definitely new. But no matter how hard I tried, it didn't sound completely unpleasant.I tried not to think about it as I drove back to my pack. The sky was blooming orange, giving a hue to the house when I finally reached.To my expectations, I heard laughter shortly after I opened the door.I closed it quietly, slowly stepping into the living room.Isabella an

As safe as it could be.

Leo.When I woke up, I knew I had made the right choice as I stretched, feeling every bit refreshed. The sun was already going down, so I knew that dinner was likely ready. After a warm bath, I changed into a pair of comfortable sweats before I exited my room.Stepping into the dining area. I met Isabella and Treasure there alone.“Sierra said that she'll text you later and Agathe retired to her house. So it's just the three of us.” She said.Seeing her so comfortable in the home I grew up in felt so different than when she was once here as a guest turned acquaintances to mutual friends. Now she was here as my… girlfriend? Mate? Mother of my child? All of the above? There was no way to place her in my life. And I liked it that way. She was just Isabella. My Isabella. And that was enough.I sat down eating whilst talking to my ever animated son. Together we had put him to bed right after, her watching silently while I read the book he demanded me to read until he fell asleep.Watch

But there is something else.

Isabella. I recalled the words Sierra had murmured in my ears that day.“For now."I cleared my throat, earning glances my way. Instantly I changed, giving an assuring smile to cover up my flustered reaction. When their eyes soon left mine. I quickly took a glass of water. To clear the flush on my skin.I was still in the bookshop, working when it came to mind. Serena's statement sent me spiraling that same night after Leo had accepted to take things further. The thought of having another child felt like a distant dream and I didn't really think about it anymore. It was, however, the physical activities implied that made me flush. Still, there was no use.It had been less than a week since then, and so far nothing had happened. At least, not yet.“Who is that?” People gaped at his presence there. I turned in time to see a familiar frame coming in.Despite the wealth he had amassed, he was still very withdrawn, to the point of being elusive. I was sure that in the eyes of the others,

Hiding the truth.

Isabella.Time flew by, yet it felt like I could spend even more in this moment.Every kiss was slow, burning me from the inside. Our tongues mixed in with each other, every movement eliciting a sigh from my lips. I let my instincts take control, every inch of anxiety leaving me.I had never felt this way before.Over time, our positions had changed. He was resting further on the couch whilst I was over him, my hips bracketing his frame on the couch. It was an uncomfortable and awkward position considering where we were, but it didn't matter to me. His hand was on my back, gently pressing me toward him whilst his other hand threaded through my scalp, sending even more waves of shivers.On occasion, I left his lips to focus on his neck, reveling in the way his grip slightly tightened at the feeling. I wasn't afraid in any way.He did the same to me, and I could only sigh against his ministrations. Most of the time however, we settled for our lips.The heat that ran through me made me

Anxiety.

Leo.When she turned back to me, I noticed the perturbed look on her face. The words that I had prepared in my head slipped away, a bout of worry taking over.I stood straighter, all the traces of my erection gone as I reached out to her.“What's wrong?" I quickly asked, looking her over to perceive what had happened. What did she hear over the phone call? As she looked up at me, she silently shook her head, giving a small smile. I could tell it was forced and shaky.“It's nothing." She said, moving toward me slowly.But it wasn't nothing. Especially not to me. Anything that affected her couldn't be simply nothing in my eyes. So when she came in closer enough to my reach, I gently grasped her arm, meeting her surprised doe eyes.“It's not nothing. Not to me,” I said.Slowly but surely, I saw her small frame slowly give, relaxing in resignation.“Is it okay if I sit down next to you?” She asked me hesitantly. Why was she being so tentative? When I saw her look down at the pillow that

Closeness.

Isabella.“You two aren't going too fast." Sierra rolled her eyes.“I agree," Claire said, taking another sip of the drink she held.We had met up like we used to, Claire excited to reunite physically with Sierra, and we had been talking for a good several hours before I brought my worries up.My worries surrounding accepting Leo's offer. I knew that engaging in the pack run with him in Violet's form was going to spark up even more of the newfound instincts I had now. It was even more intimate for a reason after all.Which was why by the next day, the thought had soon come to me. And now…“You two have had at least half a year of slow burn falling in love and six years of longing for each other, followed by the past few months of doing nothing but being chaste. I'd say that this had taken far too long." Sierra rolled her eyes. The way she said it so blatantly made me flush.Claire, on the other hand, looked just as befuddled. “What?" She said incredulously.I sighed, deflating.Claire

The meeting.

Isabella.By the time we entered my apartment, I was still flushed from the seemingly short yet intense kissing spree I had had with Leo back in the pack house.It didn't help that at this moment, he was still holding my hand like he did all the way through the car ride to the city. To my relief, there was no sight of clear or Sierra and Treasure, meaning that we hadn't spent as long. I sat awkwardly on the couch whilst he shut the door. Now strangely enough, I couldn't find it in myself to take my eyes off him as he moved.I traced him as he entered the kitchen area, grabbing a cup before he came toward me. I accepted it thoughtlessly, not even bothering to take a sip as I watched him sit down beside me.“Why are you looking so much?" He smiled.I remembered when his smiles were so rare and bright occasionally. Then he was more brooding, more quiet, and a silent comforting presence. Now they came so easily, yet every single one still managed to make my heart skip a beat. I couldn't
