Chapter 41ISABELLAThe sound of a vase shattering into pieces filled the air followed by Lucas's terrified screams."You hurt my mama!" he yelled before launching himself at Amy, with the fury of a little hurricane. His tiny fists were hitting her legs hard and he was trying to scratch and bite her and she tried to fend him off, her composure finally shattering in his attack as she restrained him as best as she could.I felt pain shot through my injured shoulder where I'd landed on my injury that was still healing, and I could feel something wet on my face where a piece of the vase had cut me. But all I could think about was the broken antique scattered around me, this was probably worth than anything that I have ever seen in my entire life and I broke it. This wasn't going to end well for me once Elena and Damon found out."Oh no," I gasped, struggling to get to my feet despite the pain that I was feeling as I felt nauseous but swallowed it down. I need to think quickly and find a

Chapter 43DAMON As the day got darker, as it was evening soon enough, things have resumed back to normal, well normal enough for us to perform our usual daily activities which involved getting Lucas ready for bed, I found myself checking on Isabella constantly, trying to see if there was something that I was missing or she needed but was not brave enough yet to ask. She was putting on a brave face, helping with Lucas's bedtime routine and chatting with Elena like normal, but I could see the stress that made her shoulder tense up like she was expecting something to happen and the way she kept unconsciously touching her bandaged cheek.After I had tucked Lucas into bed after reading him two bedtime stories and promising to make sure his Mama was okay. I checked on my mum Elena who had retired to her room to rest for the day, then I went looking for Isabella. I found her outside on the garden porch, as she was curled up in one of the comfortable chairs that was surrounded with a lot o

Chapter 45AMYFather's expression was changing from disbelief to something else, much more dangerous. His jaw clenched as he gritted his teeth in annoyance and I could see the fury that was slowly building behind his controlled mask, of trying to keep a cool head. "They threw you out? Physically removed you from the property?""After that old woman slapped me," I confirmed, touching my cheek again as if I was still in disbelief that it happened to me."She actually struck me, Father. Me! And Damon didn't do anything to stop her. He just pulled that woman into his arms and started fussing over her like she was made of spun glass."The memory of watching Damon's gentle concern for Isabella while I stood there, humiliated and dismissed, like I was a mere servant made my stomach churn with bitter jealousy. The way he'd looked at her, spoken to her—it was everything I'd expected him to direct toward me once we were married."This is unacceptable," Father said, rising from his chair slo

Chapter 47ISABELLA"Okay," I said, giving in to his protective instincts because that was way easier than insisting on what I truly wanted. I was learning to pick my battles with Damon, and this one wasn't worth fighting at all. "A private office it is.""Good," he said, satisfaction present in his tone as he glanced at me and continued speaking. "And Isabella? Even if people don't know about our personal relationship at first, that doesn't mean I'm going to hide how proud I am of your work or how much I believe in your potential or how much I'm going to praise you if your work is actually up to what I am looking for."His words sent a warm flutter through my chest, the same feeling I got whenever he expressed confidence in my abilities. After so many years of being put down by Max and Cassandra, seeing someone aside from Tommy and Sean put faith in me, was a feeling that couldn't be replicated with anything else.We pulled up to the academy's drop-off area, and I immediately found m

Chapter 49DAMON"What's your plan?" Kyle pressed me for more information although his tone suggested he already suspected the answer and didn't like itI looked up at my company, the headquarters I had built from nothing, this was the symbol of everything that I had accomplished since taking over as Alpha. Inside, a group of other pack leaders was trying to take away everything that I had worked for. They thought they could intimidate me on my own territory, demand that I play by their rules and mate who they have chosen for me.They were about to learn how wrong they were."I'm going to give them exactly what they want," I said, as I allowed a smile to show up on my face. "They called for a formal challenge without my permission. They want to question my authority, my decisions, my right to protect my mate. So be it.""Damon," Thorne warned, using my first name in his concern as he stepped closer speaking in a low tone. "You're walking into a room full of Alphas who have already
