Chapter 41Isabelle's POV‘My lady,” “My lady” , a voice called, interrupting me from my peaceful sleep. I yawned and stretched my limbs as I slowly opened my eyes, adjusting it to the bright light from the sun that pierced through the window.“I'm sorry to disturb your sleep My Lady, Miss Talia is here to see you,” a young maid in her mid twenties informed me.“Miss Talia?” I asked groggily, fighting the urge to go back to sleep.“Yes my Lady, it's twelve noon and she has been waiting for the past hour hoping you will wake up soon,” she replied.“Why didn't anybody wake me up?” I questioned, embarrassed that I've slept for this long.“I'm sorry my Lady, it was Alpha Ethan's instruction not to disturb your sleep,” she stated simply with her eyes glued to the floor.I never understood why the maids always had to avoid the eyes of their superiors, maybe it has something to do with respect which I don't see to be necessary in my opinion.“Let her wait in the garden and tell the chef to

CHAPTER 43~Isabella~The look of shock on Ethan's face was not to be missed. "What do you mean she escaped? How did it happen?" He questioned loudly. Brian only shrugged in response to his Alpha's questions. "The guards could not offer any explanation." He said. I myself was shocked at the recent developments, I had believed the pack's dungeons to be a very secure place but at the moment, my beliefs were questioned. "Quick, summon those men on guard duty at once!" Ethan roared and from where I stood, I could see his veins popping in frustration and annoyance. Brian nodded sharply and left the room at once to carry out the Alpha's bidding. I immediately turned to Ethan. "How could this happen?" I questioned him, highly disturbed. "It baffles me," Ethan replied slowly. "This just didn't happen, they had inside help," Ethan confirmed my fears. Mila was the Alpha's sister after all. It was expected of her to have friends in high places. Soon enough, Brian returned with three men w

Chapter 45Ethan's P.O.VI knew Isabella was not happy about the decision I made earlier. I knew the girl was appalled by the actions I took but I knew as a leader I had to make tough calls. I had to be stern at some point too if not, nobody would take me seriously. I had pardoned the guard who had the sense enough to confess but the ones who would not, well I needed to make an example of somebody. As I watched Isabella leave, I had half a mind to go after all but then I thought against that and allowed her to go. She deserved her peace and quietness too. Immediately both Isabella and Brian left, I sank into my chair, the books I had on my table momentarily forgotten as brooded and reflected on the whole events that had transpired. My train of thoughts slowly crept onto Logan and Ravensong. I had lied to Isabella. I told her I was not the one behind the rogue's attack on Ravensong yet when I sat there at my desk in the study, I began to see that I could not keep this piece of inform

Chapter 47Isabella's P.O.VLying on my captor's shoulders, I regained hope as I saw Ethan and Brian sprinting towards me. Their faces were etched with determination and concern. And I felt a sudden surge of relief, knowing that I was not alone in this predicament.As I watched them draw closer, I became aware of a strange sensation. It was as if my body was slowly coming back to life. I could move my head and my limbs, and I realized with a start that the effects of the chloroform were finally wearing off."Hurry!" Mila urged the men, who were now hastening their steps in an attempt to outrun Ethan and Brian. My heart raced as I saw the fence that encircled the entire town looming before us.Mila and the men approached the fence with purpose, and I found myself wondering what they intended to do against the barbed barrier. To my surprise, Mila moved closer to the wall and, with a swift motion, dragged a massive stone out of the way, revealing a man-sized hole in the fence.I knew I h

Chapter 49Ethan's P.O.VMy mind was still occupied with the events that had happened over the following days. By the time we got to them, my sister Milla had escaped but the elders were captured and I was alarmed to find two strong young men with them in their group. It seemed my sister also had her loyalists here at the pack but that only confused me. Who in their right frame of mind would support my sister?As I sat brooding thus, my mind went back to Isabella. The poor girl had really gone through a lot lately. She was recovering fast but I knew it takes great strength to pull through what she had faced.I sat there in my study ready to go through the accounts of the Treasury but all that was on my mind was simply Isabella. Try as hard as I might, I could not keep the thoughts of the girl at bay.We were feigning marriage to each other as a plan but truly I was beginning to fall for this girl. Her naive nature, her defiance of authority and her boldness were something that intrigu
