Isabella's POV By the end of the week, I was exhausted after my shift in the cafe. On Wednesday when I returned to the school, I was given a second trial run. By the time I was done, I was met with a smiling face of Damian. "It looks like I've found our new maths teacher." He commented.Even as I left, I could feel the absolute ire of the other people around me. I wondered just how deep their hatred would go, especially now that I was going to be there as a teacher.As Felix arrived to drive me to the café, I knew that I couldn't stay the same way. Traversing between two jobs in the short span of the day was stressful enough. So, I thought about quitting one. I contemplated telling Anne, but I couldn't, even as I worked. Now it was Saturday, the end of the working week and I still hadn't brought myself to say anything. I felt the guilt in my heart as I greeted Anne and Lola goodbye before entering the car.Back in front of the house, I entered, expecting silence when I heard a sho

Isabella's POV "Nobody knows this, not even my brother. That's why the first time you came, I panicked."I recalled it, albeit fuzzily, how I saw him come in while I was scared, only for her to start pushing him out."Our pack and the red eclipse pack have had a connection. A long time ago, our father and the Alpha of the pack were brothers. It was on that basis that they were able to come here, into our pack." She said. I processed the shock in her words, more relaxed as I watched her sigh."It was my brother, Leo, who took care of the arrangement when they came. Two years have passed since they came here." She folded herself, similarly to me. "It's been one and a half since Damian and I discovered we were mates." She said, voice only a whisper.I was overwhelmed with the information she gave. "How?" Left my lips before I could stop myself.Somehow, she laughed. Her eyes were distant, as though reminiscing. "We hated each other at first, even though we were mates. As we got closer,

Isabella's POV “And there you go,” I said, placing a now sleeping Treasure within his bed. It was surprising how much harder the task was, as he had grown heavier through the short period. Almost two months had passed in the blink of an eye, and I continuously had to manage between being a teacher, working in the café, and managing my life at home with Treasure. Or at least, before.During the past week, Damian had given me a surprise, by showing me what was now my personal office within the school. That was the tipping point I needed to finally talk to Anne. But I couldn’t have done it during that week, however. Afterall, she had just recovered from a cold several days ago. So as I shared barbs with Lola whilst working, I kept it in mind that I would deal with it the next week.Now was the weekend, and I could finally rest. Anne decided to close the shop on Saturday, saying that we had worked far too much anyways. It left me with enough time to have had a good night's sleep, and be

ISABELLAI straightened as I faced him. He donned a white shirt with dark slacks, his dark hair slightly out of place. Why was he here?He looked away and I realized that I was still feeding Treasure. I angled myself slightly, so he didn't see a thing."What do you want?" I asked when he refused to leave."I came to apologize." His words were a shock, especially after not seeing him since then."For the way I acted the last time." He shuffled, and I could only watch. "I realized that I hadn't even gotten to know you before I began judging. If we could start over, probably on a fresh leaf, I would like to know you better." He finished.If I could think any clearer, I would laugh at the irony that both siblings had somehow apologised to me in almost the same way. But at the moment, I could only stare at him in shock. What was I going to say? There were only two words which came to my mind at the moment, ironically the same words he had said the time that I apologised.Letting out a brea

ISABELLA The next day strictly to the time, we arrived together, both of us in casual wear. While Sierra wore her signature black, I wore a starry blue. On our way, she informed me that Damian was going to come later due to pack duties.Claire stood in front of the cafe, steadfastly waiting for us. As we got out of Sierra's car, we both greeted her with hugs."It's nice to see you, Claire. How's your internship going?" I asked."It's better, now that I've moved to a different department, I could have sworn that other woman was out to get me." Claire wiped non existent sweat, which we chuckled at."Well you-"I was cut off as a pair of arms lifted me. I would have easily defended had I not caught the scent quickly. As he put me down, I turned to look at Adian."You should be more careful," I scolded him.Turning to Sierra and Claire, both who looked guarded. Sierra, especially, looked like she was going to maul him. I introduced them. Claire was more welcoming, returning his handshake
