CHAPTER 112Isabella's P.O.VThe tears fell freely from Emily's eyes when she recounted her discussion with Ethan to me; she never imagined that she'd be going after all she'd been through, and after Ethan had promised that she'd be going home, Emily felt nothing but happy to finally leave the wastelands behind her. “That's great Emily.“ I said. “You deserve to rest too. Ethan was right to make this decision for you.“Emily managed a smile from her bed. “It's a shame I wouldn't be leaving with you, Isabella; imagine how it'll be if we both return home together.“ She said.“We'll return together.“ I replied simply.Emily didn't understand what I was saying. “You're going to visit? Is Ethan coming to?“ She asked.“No, Emily, it's not a visit, and Ethan is not coming.“ I replied and even though I tried to hide my feelings, I knew that Emily could see the pained expression on my face.“What's wrong Isabella? What is happening?“ She questioned with her eyes searching mine questionably.“I

CHAPTER 114Isabella's P.O.VWhen we stepped into the pack house, everything felt so different and strange for me, and even though I had been in the room several times, I had never felt this way. The room was not just filled with pack members today but at each corner of the long table sat an Alpha and their Beta while their guards stood behind them grimly like statutes. For once today, every chair at the long table was occupied except three chairs at the head of the table, chairs which belonged to Ethan, Brian, and I. Everyone else was sitting already so when we walked in, all eyes turned towards me, giving me that feeling of being scanned. My grip on Ethan's hand tightened and he squeezed my hand slightly as we made our way from the door to our seats.I remembered Tricia's advice and I smiled warmly as we took our seats. My smile was only met with blank stares and emotionless eyes of the Alpha's and their Beta's and it took a lot of will not to give up smiling.When Ethan finally sa

CHAPTER 116Ethan's P.O.V“Axel?” One of the elders gasped. “Tell me you don't mean the same Axel Nightshade we know.”“I'm afraid the person I'm talking about is none but the same Axel Nightshade,” I replied gravely. “I believe he has taken Logan and every second that passes, every minute puts Logan at risk at the hands of the madman,” I said.The room fell silent for a while and the elders brought their heads together again and began to whisper rapidly in the same strange language that none of us could understand. They knew fully well that we were all werewolves there and anything they whispered would be heard clearly by everyone and I think it was because of this they had to fall back to whatever language they were speaking whenever they had to speak privately.While the elders talked, I turned slowly to look at Isabella. She sat rigidly with her eyes on me, watching carefully with her observing eyes, when our eyes met, she nodded slowly, a sign of her approval of what I was doing.

CHAPTER 118Ethan's P.O.VThe thoughts of Isabella weighed heavily in my mind when I left the pack that morning. I just couldn't bear to look her in the eyes and say goodbye so I left her a letter instead, for all I know I'll never get to see her again and she had made it clear and plain that she didn't doesn't want me and would not stay at the pack no matter what.I tried my best to forget about Isabella, so I tried to think of other things, other pressing matters like the mission I was currently taking, rescuing Logan from the clutches of Axel. I decided I'd make a quick stop at the Ravensong pack before I moved on, so that was where I was headed presently. I would stop at the Ravensong pack and gather more information before I would continue on my mission and I intended to comb the whole forest in search of Logan. I intended to return only after I've found him and as for Axel... Well, the community had demanded that Axel be brought in alive, but I saw no need for that, and while I

CHAPTER 120Ethan's P.O.VWith the threat that faced me neutralized, I turned my attention to the rogue settlement before me. I knew if this was where Logan was held, Axel would be there which meant the place would be under strict watch too.I slowly inched closer and closer to what appeared to be a cave and, at the same time, made sure to approach downwind so I wouldn't be smelt out. Once I inched just a little closer, I could hear the rogues and smell them clearly, but besides the rogue's stench, I perceived Logan, too!I hastened my speed and approached faster, momentarily allowing my feelings to take the better part of me as I stepped on a few broken twigs on the forest floor. The cracking of the twigs wasn't that loud, but to a werewolf, it was loud enough.I paused in apprehension and watched the rogues up ahead of me. They were still talking freely and making rude jokes, but one of them began to scan my direction, and I knew he had heard my movements. I quickly ducked under th
