Leo meets Treasure.

Leo's POV "Who is he?" For a human so learned in werewolf culture, he couldn't even recognize an Alpha.It was Isabella that spoke up. "He's the Alpha of the Rogue pack and my temporary landlord."Confusion hit me at the second half of her statement. It only took me a few seconds to remember.Four months. That was what I had given her. And it was already almost halfway through. Footsteps came behind me. One which I recognized easily as Agathe's."Isabella, thank goodness you're here. Treasure has been crying for his mother."I focused my gaze on the man."You should go." I heard her whisper. Finally, I turned away from the door, moving further into the house. Now, she sat alone in the dining room, cooing lightly at her child.I was solely a bystander, watching the scene that went by. I moved to the kitchen to get something for her as she looked hungry to me. By the time I came out of the kitchen, I carried a bowl with me. She was still there, looking out at the view through the wind

Comforts silence.

Isabella's POV I moved towards the hallways, stepping out until I was finally in the entrance of the living room. The place wasn't as dark, the place illuminated by the dull hues of dawn.The floors remained quiet, polished wood floors barely cold against my feet. I knew then, that there was something I was missing. Something I knew was going to happen. The dull lights made the place seem less eerie and yet, the shadows remained to remind one of the exact opposite.Without thinking, I stepped out, two steps into the wide room when I was stopped with a growl.Deep and rumbling, it stopped me in my tracks immediately. My heart seemed to be beating faster in my ears, but not out of fear, but anticipation.It was as though I was being told; this was what you were expecting. This is what you were waiting for.The other side of the entrance was completely wrapped in darkness, and I couldn't tell if that was due to the barely there lights not reaching it, or the shadow of who was there.The

Sparring.

Isabella's POV I didn't know how long we sat there in solitude. The moment I felt and could hear Treasure's cry, I rushed out of the living room to take care of him. With a finally asleep baby, Leo was gone from the living room, though the books remained. I stayed reading.As evening came, I followed Agathe, helping her cook food in the kitchen. By the time Treasure woke up, she shooed me away from the kitchen.Despite my concerns, she was insistent on taking care of him."I'm already so fond of the little thing, you better not take him away." The older woman said.I left, meeting Leo in the living room once more. Now bored, I used my phone as we sat there. It was when the sky turned orange that Sierra bursted into the house."Happy new moon!" She exclaimed, entering with joy. It didn't skip my mind how more excited she was for the day, and not just for the holiday.She had likely met Damian then, I thought to myself."Took you long enough." I heard Leo say.Sierra rolled her eyes. "

New beginning.

Isabella's POV I turned to see Leo, halting my attack. Pants left my lips while I let my arm fall."It's evident if you two continue this, none of us will have dinner tonight."Was it my imagination, or did I see some kind of approval in his eyes?I looked away, focusing on regulating my breaths. As soon as he had left, I moved towards the couch, using my shirt to wipe off the sweat on my face."Wow. I didn't expect… wow." Sierra looked at me with new eyes."Are you… angry?""No. My respect for you has multiplied actually. Let's do this again sometime." Sierra brought out her hand to shake. Smiling, I shook her hand with a smile. She nudged her head lightly. "Come on, let's rearrange the place."Once we finished pushing the couches back in their rightful place, Sierra and I entered the dining room to find Agathe."I didn't know you could fight. And so well at that." Agathe gushed towards me."You watched?" I asked.Agathe nodded with a smile. "Yes. And Treasure looked so happy, I cou

A new kind of friendship.

Leo"Oh." She had said.Here we both were, standing in the hallway. Despite her words about us starting over again, she remained skittish. Sure, she was slightly more relaxed, and didn't try to run from me or get aggressive. But I easily sensed her anxiety, as light as day.Aside from the few most awkward conversations, we hadn't said a word to each other.Her hair was packed in a messy bun. Her clothes were far too oversized, it looked like she hadn't gone anywhere, nor was planning to.And she was still there, staring at me."How is... Treasure?" I began the conversation.Was it me or her shoulders rose a bit. I knew she was not used to me. I still understood nothing about her past or her reasons, but for simply that, I could let go.“He was awake until a few minutes ago.” She replied.I nodded."Well, don't let me stop you," I said, moving forward, only to stop. "Being inside isn't good for your health. You have gone through the pack area before, right?"Her silence spoke louder t

Hiding.

SierraI stepped out of my car into the bar, only to come face to face with my boss."You're late." He said.Late by only seven minutes. I didn't complain, only nodding my head.“Ah yeah. Sorry about that, boss,” i said, flashing a small smile as I did."I'm still paying you." He warned."That you are," I nodded. As if I was actually using his money. I scoffed inwardly. Most of the time, the salary he gave was usually stored in an account. When it was big enough, it was used to unsolicitedly buy drinks into the bar again. He didn't even notice.See? I could be selfless.I waited until he passed to roll my eyes. I moved to my station, behind the bar. Back then, it was sort of like a test project, a question of if I could manage to work among human society. Until I got used to it, that is. Despite the bar not being the best, I loved watching the interactions, despite my inability to personally engage in them.I looked forward to the people cleaning and waitresses, all of them strangers

Not destined for a mate.

Isabella"Wow..." The numbers written on the page made my vision blur a bit. It was unreal. Even when I worked in the bar, or in the café, I had never gotten so much in this amount. And here I was, getting that much money all at once. I looked up to Damian. The thought that this was preferential treatment worried me."Is this alright?" I asked, looking back to the paper."It's the same amount I've paid every single teacher working here." He said.I looked back down at the large sum. "I… thank you," I sputtered out The last time, it took me several months of work to pay rent for the shady apartment I lived in. With only this amount, I could have paid several months rent in advance. But that wasn't what I, nor Treasure needed. No. He needed a secured home. I would add it to my other savings, the checks Anne gave me stored away, and now this. Perhaps when I got back, I would add in all the amounts."You can cash it in or out it into your bank account," Damian said, making me raise my h

A new offer.

Isabella. It started out how it usually did, with hesitation and silence. I moved forward towards the living room, plonking down onto the couch in a half seated, half lying down manner. "Hi." I said, sitting down on one of the seats. He replied with a nod. "Sierra's not back yet, if that's who you were waiting for." He said, flipping another page. I nodded, and sat upright. We were more of far apart acquaintances. His words back then seemed to have broken the ice, but that didn't mean that we were friends. It was a progress compared to before where most of our interactions were tense. After a bout of hesitation I took out my phone. Opening the sudoku game. It was the same one Sierra played and had given to me. "I know this isn't any of my business but..." His dark voice courted hesitation. "...what were you going to ask her?' There was no harm in telling him a thing. "I was going to ask Sierra about opening a bank account," I said. "You don't have

Happiness.

Isabella The house was an empty space, living room bare of the usual couches and furniture aside from the curtains. The sun was out, against the shade. But where was everyone? This time, I held Treasure in my arms as I walked. A growl stopped me in my tracks. I held still, the ever present memory of what was to happen next. It was the wolf. The shadow. Red eyes gleamed towards me, threateningly. It took a step closer, followed by another, but when I was about to step into the light… I woke up. It had been like that for days. What had started out as a nightmare in what seemed to be a long time ago had become a recurrent set of dreams which always stopped at some point. They began to occur more frequently than before, leaving me trapped in a vertigo of questions. Why was I having this dream? Why were the dreams plaguing me more than ever? A shriek from Treasure brought me out of my thoughts. Alarm bells began ringing in my head. I turned towar

An odd reaction.

Isabella. We spent the rest of the day talking while they watched Treasure play with his toys. Claire talked about her relationship with Lola, which although had quieted, had become stronger. Seeing her so happy brought a surge of joy within me. After all, she was the first person to show me kindness. Whilst I was struggling during work in the bar, bearing the pain of separating from my pack and the illness that came with pregnancy, she came to my rescue. Even though she was a struggling college student of her own, she went to great lengths to help me. Whether it was through getting drugs when I couldn't afford them, aiding me with my shifts and being the most supportive person, she was my closest pillar. I was glad that she was finding happiness in her life. Deep in the recesses of my mind, I prayed her happiness was to continue. We spoke until Claire reluctantly left, saying that she had a shift. She bid us goodbye, entering the car which Felix was going to drive her h
