More interruptions.

Isabella.My eyes flipped open slowly, meeting the morning. It was difficult to comprehend everything at that moment, so I sighed, slipping them back closed.The silence gave enough room for comfort to let me relax and the warmth and comfort I felt was too precious to hang on to. It felt different and I leaned forward into the warm…Wait… warmth?!Though it proved to be difficult, I slowly opened my eyes to realize what was in front of me.A clothed body, his chest. When I looked up, I was met with dark hair and his familiar sharp face.Leo?Slowly everything came back to me, and a part of me relaxed whilst the other remained tense. Deep breaths. Slowly but surely I breathed in and out, making my flight instinct ease away with every breath. It came easier than expected as his scent eased my bones in its own natural way. Once I was calmed down, I looked back up.From the warmth against my front, I was completely pushed up against him. And before I even turned to spy, I felt that the

A confrontation.

Isabella.The single sound stopped me short. My heart skipped a beat as I whipped my head toward the door. Below me, Leo's body stiffened.“Izzy? The little runt and I have been waiting for you."Every previous sensation evaporated, only the ghost of it remained slowly ebbing away.“Izzy? Isabella?”I realized that I had to reply. Though my being was discombobulated, my voice managed to remain steady.“Yes. I'm… I'm coming."Though not as stable as I wished.There came a pause on the other side which might as well have been the most tense moments of my life. I held my breath through the seconds that passed until finally, Connor's muffled voice came again.“Okay then. I'll see you soon."Over time, his footsteps retracted until it was completely silent.Seconds passed before I finally relaxed. My face burned as I covered it with my hands, embarrassment filling me to the brim.How had I lost track of time?No. Losing track was one thing, I had completely forgotten what the day was. All

A promise.

Isabella.Last night, I had left the matter as it was. Today was completely different.The silence grew with time as he stared at me. His expression morphed from bewildered to serious.Still, he said nothing. I moved toward him, my lips parted to say something. If he wasn't going to talk, I had to convince him to.“Conno-”“Why are you asking this, Isabella?” His voice was grave. He looked up at me, his expression scrunched into one of frustration.I have to.“I'm no fool, Connor. I was once trained as the next in line Gamma. Even if you wanted to hide it, it was already too late. You gave out too much,” I said.His confusion was apparent, making me remember the day before, when he explained those things. It seemed like he hadn't even realized.“You mentioned meeting a pack, one of your pack's allies. You, as the next heir, should have been exempt from all this.” I saw his eyes slowly widen as the realization hit. A part of me wanted to reach out to him for assurance, but instead I st

A little bit of truth.

Isabella.Connor's visit lasted for that day and the next. True to my word, I never said a word about it immediately after, even while my instincts and inner self was holding back. I saw the slightest bit of hesitation in his face at times as we talked, but I said nothing. I couldn't bear to see him any more stressed, which meant that it was up to me to get him to relax.Whilst it was just us, I stood up abruptly, slapping his shoulder lightly to get his attention.“Since you don't know your way around the city completely,” I added as he raised his eyebrows. “I think it's best that I lead you around. Be your guide."“Come on, you can't be inside throughout.” I shook my head, giving a little smile I used whenever I was trying to get something out of him… them. When we were younger…I shoved all thoughts of the other man out of my mind as I looked toward him, waiting for his response.Slowly to my joy, his lips slowly rose. Though I wasn't completely sure if he was completely oblivious

Complete honesty.

Isabella.The day after Connor left, I picked Treasure up from his school before granting him a leave.“Why?" The teachers had asked, confused. I could only smile to myself and make a simple excuse I had rehearsed several times.Together we entered the pack house, which Treasure and I enjoyed throughout.The buzzing underneath my skin grew simply from the view of the trees passing by. Violet was growing restless within me, excited and anticipating tomorrow night, when the pack run will finally hold.More than anything, I as well as Violet was excited to run with Leo and his wolf.When we entered the Pack house, I found myself being stared at. Though not in a strange way, it was off putting how well people seemed to look at me like I was a new specimen.I found refuge in the pack kitchens, meeting Agathe in the kitchen to my frustration and relief. When I told her about the pack's strange behavior, she laughed.“Because you're with Leo. You shouldn't be surprised to see them treating

The full moon.

Isabella.I woke up the next day to find Treasure on one side and Leo on the other. I felt the latters arms holding me tightly, his soft breaths in my ear.This was the first time it had ever happened. Now it felt like I was enveloped by my family. My pack.Their similarly peaceful faces were the sole inspiration I needed to lay back down onto the bed, shutting my eyes.Unfortunately, it was not for long until I heard his voice rumble groggily into my hair.“You don't have to pretend." He said, making me scrunch my brows in confusion.“I felt the moment you woke up. At least, I think I did.'' His words allayed my previous confusion, making me relax. I smiled to myself at his words, opting to snuggle closer to him.“Tonight is the night." I opened my eyes, my breath hitching lightly. Right. Tonight was the pack run, and whatever that follows after…I turned slightly toward him, careful to not jostle my son on the other side so I could see his eyes with mine.I swallowed thickly before

Acceptance.

Isabella.Adrenaline pumped through me like a waterfall, filling me to the brim as I ran.All the times in my childhood, running alongside my parents, my friends and the only family I had back then was enthralling. The feeling of belonging coursing through me. But that couldn't compare to this moment.Because the feeling of running with Leo, with my mate right by my side in tandem, that was the most enthralling thing ever.I had never learned the intimacy of the run. But now, I understood. As I faintly glanced at his shadowy frame beside me, I knew that there was nothing for me to worry about.Together we coursed through the forest, winding up every bark. I could still hear and feel the presence of all the other wolves behind me. I had never been in such a position before, always running beside the others. Running beside Leo, behind the others showed that I was ranked above them. That they were my responsibility and they could defer to me.It hadn't hit properly until this moment.Was

All that mattered.

Leo.The moment her lips touched mine, I pulled her closer, moving against her in a motion so familiar it might as well have been on instinct.As she separated, I was bewildered to find the determined expression on her face. But that wasn't it. No, what I saw that made my breath hitch was desire, one that reflected the same thing that burned inside me.“I want to be with you tonight, Leo.” Her warm breath ghosted over mine as she spoke. She said those words in a whisper, like a secret that only I was privy to. Eight words. That was all it took for me to go almost crazy.Before she drew in for another kiss, I stopped her.“Wait, Isabella,” the voice I was sure I had rid myself of spoke to me, all the negative things I had hidden deep inside poured into me.She's making a mistake.She'll hate you when you do this.You don't deserve her.I swallowed, pushing all the emotions out before they could engulf me.“I don't… are you sure? I won't let you do this unless you're sure,” I said firm

The emergency call.

Isabella.A pleasurable warmth filled my entire body, making me smile as I slowly let the sensations around me become more apparent.Even in my dreams, we were under the full moon. Though as Violet and Gerald, it felt like everything I needed.I opened my eyes slowly, not fully wanting to arrive back in reality and at the same time, eager to do so. It didn't matter what choice I made however, reality was already dawning on me.The dark silky sheets. Light of the sun permeating the room. Those were the first things I saw. But after that, looking forward was skin.His arms were thrown around me, pulling me close, it was just like the time in my bedroom. The only difference was that we were both bare.Though I didn't look up at his face, I smiled to myself, pushing myself closer into his arms. I shuffled as I did so, my breath hitching at the sore feeling that bloomed lightly in between my legs.Embracing it, I held him even closer.I remembered with startling clarity how it was last nig

Going back.

Isabella.“It's your father.”Thanks to Connor, I had an idea of the problems plaguing my former pack which was the reason they couldn't speak to me.However, I never expected this.I almost collapsed with every word she said following that. Every single one brought the loud noise that bloomed in my ear to become louder till I could barely process her words.“Problem with the pack…"“I did my best…”“He wouldn't stop…"The sole thing that stuck with me was the sadness in her voice, heavy so I could tell she was near sobbing. In a sick sort of irony, I felt grounded by it. That she was the sole thing keeping me from breaking down.Mostly, I just felt numb.“I know that it's going to be really difficult. I'm so sorry for pushing this on you. But we don't have any choice–”“–It's okay.” I interrupted her, my voice clear and strong in spite of the turmoil inside. “Don't worry. You won't be alone anymore,” I added.A sound came from the other side. This time, I was sure it was a sob.“Than
