(Isabella's POV)I shot up from my sleep when I heard the sound of the front door being closed. My instincts were heightened, and my eyes were glowing blue in the dark.I slowly got out of bed and made my way to my bedroom door. Before I could open it, someone else did.“What the hell?!” Landon yelled, startled to see me standing there.I frowned and asked, “Where did you come from at this time of night?”He sighed, “I couldn't sleep, and I needed to get out and take a walk.”He walked past me, and I got the scent of someone else that wasn't me or his. It was unfamiliar.“Where did you go?” I asked as I closed the door to our room.“I don't really feel like talking about it; let's just go to sleep.” He stated as he jumped into bed after taking off his shoes.I joined him, but being close to him, I could smell the scent. It was strong.I took a deep breath, not wanting to overthink it and deciding to give him the benefit of the doubt.But as much as I tried to ignore it, I couldn't. W

(Celina’s POV)For some weird reason, I woke up feeling energized and hopeful for the day. It felt like, for once in my life, nothing was weighing on me. I was beginning to wonder if all I needed all along was to get out of that town.I stretched as I walked out of the room, which Paige and I shared. We were becoming close; I considered her to be my best friend, but I was unsure if she felt the same way.I could smell freshly baked bread. I stepped into the kitchen and smiled.“I didn't know you could bake.” I startled Brody, and he dropped the tin he was holding but was able to catch it before it could hit the ground.He looked at me and said, “I didn't mean to overreact; I forgot I had people living here now.”I shook my head, “no worries,” and I walked up to him, “nothing has broken.”I looked at the bread he had prepared, “You know we are like four people now, right?”He sighed as he removed the mittens. “I realized that when you snuck up on me.”“I could make my special omelett

(Celina’s POV) After almost a week of us being there, it was time we actually followed through with our plans to travel and see the world. I had no idea how we were going to start that journey but I was trying to be carefree.“Tomorrow?” Brody asked, surprised when we told him we were leaving, “I think it's too soon for you to go.”I smiled, “You knew this day would come; why are you being weird?”He pulled me in for a hug, saying, “I enjoyed your being here, and I am not ready for you to leave.”“Don't worry, I will keep an eye out on her like I have always done.” Austin chimed in.I chuckled as I pulled back from the hug, “You wouldn't have to; Lucas will be coming with us.”“He will?!” Austin and Paige said it in unison.Paige sounded excited, but Austin didn't seem too pleased with the revelation.“W

(Celina’s POV)I groaned as I tried to stretch my arm but couldn't. My eyes slowly flattered open, and I could feel something wrapped around my wrists and legs as I tried to move them. I looked up, and I was cuffed to the bed.Everything slowly started to come back to me.I looked around as I started to slowly adjust to the darkness.I could see the cages close to the wall, and when I looked to my side, there was Paige, also cuffed to the bed like I was.“Oh, thank goodness, we thought you were dead.” She exclaimed with relief in her voice.“How long have I been unconscious?”“Too long.” Austin’s voice came from the darkness. “We were starting to worry that you were dead. So was the old dude, who has been checking up on you from time to time.” Lucas stated.I sighed.  “Why am I chained to the bed?”“Probably b

(Isabella’s POV)I had yet to get information about the whereabouts of Celina.I liked her, and I wouldn't do anything to harm her otherwise, but I couldn't have myself go back to what I used to be.Even though my new look didn't seem to faze my husband, it did make other male werewolves notice me. It felt like, for the first time in my life, I was the center of attention not my sisters, and that wasn't something I wanted to let go of.Threatening Celina's life didn't exactly put me in a good spot with Landon, but I needed to find a way to make sure he marked me before he found Celina.I knew he wasn't going to sit around and wait until I found her.But I had set a plan in motion.I approached him as he worked with other werewolves and asked, “May I have a word with you?” I asked, knowing he wouldn't say no. He had kept up the appearance that we were a fairly good happy couple.He gave me a smile that didn't reach his eyes as he said, “Anything for my
