Her heart hammered against her chest. If she was previously feeling groggy, all traces of sleep completely disappeared.The sounds became faint now...Then she heard heavy breathing that accompanied the sounds of something breaking, something hard and sturdy.Everything happened in a minute.After that was utter silence.Isabella knew that that the danger hadn't passed. It seemed so well to be the calm before a storm. She looked at the opened window at the other side and noticed the glow of the moon streaming in, painting the room white, adding sauce to the fear inside her.She was right. The silence was the calm before the storm. Loud thuds started from the end of the corridor—at the Alpha's end—and progressed, sounding like footsteps the more it advanced closer.Isabella, still on the floor, gasped and turned to the door, instinctively moving back with her eyes opened wide and her breath stuck in her throat.The thuds got to her door and stopped.She could hear it...She could hear

The bodies

At first everything happened in slow motion. Isabella could see the muscled figure approaching, the swing of his shoulder tossing his hair around his shoulders, and his lips moving, saying something about taking the tray from her.Then, she saw the faint print in the front of the towel. She hadn't planned to look there, even the gods could see how innocent she was, but it was difficult not to look that way when he towered above her, displaying the long outline pressing against the fabric on the towel. She had wanted to speak, to tell him that she didn't need some hours off and that her night was fine, but the words did not form. So, as an alternative, she tried to move back while forcing her mouth to resume functioning, but her feet had decided to fail her as well.She yelped as her back reached for the floor. The tray went into the air. Even as she fell, her mind was on the tray. She saw Damon's figure move. It was a blur. By the time a gasp escaped her lips, she felt something st

Something was definitely wrong with the pack.Either the pack or Damon... Isabella wasn't sure.Bodies... Ralph had said bodies were found by the river. She could only ask herself if it was just a slang for something else, or if they were talking about actual bodies...The thought sent shivers into Isabella. She grabbed her gown tightly as her heartbeat increased."Fuck," she muttered to herself and started an aimless journey out of the house. It was clear as day that very confidential topics were about to be discussed, hence the Alpha's request for her to leave.Isabella stood on the front porch and took in the beauty of the morning sun reflecting on every surface that could bounce back its rays."ARE YOU OKAY, MY LADY?""Huh?" Isabella spun to the right. She was so lost in thought when she stepped out that she hadn't noticed the guard standing outside the building with a sheathed sword clasped to his side."Is everything okay?"She asked herself the question again and again. Was eve

Determination

Isabella left Albus' quarters with more questions than she could handle.When she got to one of the paths that led to the Alpha's mansion, she saw the people walking in groups to the gate.Curious, she followed them, tightly clutching the concoction to herself.The gate was now rowdy and clustered since it seemed the guards at the gate didn't want to let the people out. There was rising dust already and raised voices.Isabella's curiosity spiked up."... They need to let us see what is going on..." someone said from behind her."Yes, I will go out even if it means breaking that gate down..."Isabella quietly trailed behind the two chattering women. It turned out that there was something beyond the gate that was being taken care of that didn't need to be looked at.And it seemed the pack was getting weary of being lied to cover secrets and important things regarding the alpha and the pack.Through the countless conversations on the way to the gate, Isabella picked up a lot of informati

"Are you okay?"Isabella looked up from the floor where she was busy monitoring the shapes of the tile design. Just as she expected, Damon tarried in swallowing the liquid, and she couldn't leave him to it for fear of the alpha getting it disposed."I'm fine, sir," she replied, a bit surprised. "Are you okay?""Oh, yes I'm great." He sounded like a breath of fresh air, and even though the room was dark and they could barely see each other, she felt the tension in the air lessen.The sound of voices drew their attention to the window.The pack members were returning, Isabella could perceive. Sparing a quick glance at Damon's silhouette on the bed, she slowly walked to the window and raised a part of it."Careful," Damon called behind her, a rumble in his warning.Isabella turned back immediately and threw the curtain back in place."I'm sorry. I—""It's okay. Just make sure it doesn't go beyond that. What is going on outside?"A throng of people converged upon the looming gate, its mon
