~ ISABELLE~ The following day, we set out from the abandoned port at noon. It was a gloomy day, with gentle snowfall. The hints of a storm lingered on the horizon.The brothers wanted me to postpone this to the next day, when the weather was better, but there was no guarantee it would be better. The weather was unpredictable, and I didn't like to rely on its mood swings for my work. I had somehow convinced the brothers to go today after a lot of bickering and arguments last night.We drove as close as we could to the abandoned port with our small team of reinforcements whom Damian had flown in from the pack overnight. They had come prepared with weapons and whatnot for any ambush.By the time we reached the last edge of the snow-blocked road to the abandoned port, the snow had started falling harder. I could sense that the brothers were not pleased with this, but before they could suggest going back and coming back the next day, I hopped out of the SUV and took in my surroundings.Th

~ ISABELLE ~ I trailed Talia’s footsteps to the way she was taking me. When she wasn't paying attention to me, I glanced back over my shoulder again to see if my mates were following me. However, I couldn't make out much in the snow.The snow started to fall again while strong winds blew from the direction of the frozen sea. Even though I was well protected with the thick fox fur jacket and two more layers of thick sweaters underneath it, I was still shivering.On the other hand, Talia seemed unaffected by the cold despite wearing fewer clothes. I followed her through the maze of containers, fully alert, with my hand on the gun just in case she tried to pull a trick on me."How did you get here?" I had to ask her because it was an important question bugging me for a while.How the fuck did she manage to transport those heavy servers in this snow? While on our way to the port, we didn't see any tracks of another vehicle that might have headed this way.Or maybe the heavy snow might've

~ AIDEN ~ "We should go," I told my brother after scouting the nearby area. I didn't find anything interesting, but heaps of snow-covered junk and the ruins of the abandoned port.When I returned from my scout, I found Damian trying to communicate with the reinforcement and maintain the communication channel in case things went wrong. I had a feeling that things were going to go wrong one way or the other.It was my wolf's intuition that was pacing inside me restlessly, desperate to see Isabelle. I could sense the same restlessness in Damian, but he was highly skilled in hiding his feelings."Did you find anything?" He asked, and I shook my head. He grunted. "I'm only getting static, and the weather's getting worse. We can't waste any more time.”I agreed with him, and without wasting another second, we started following Isabelle’s footprints on the snow, threading through the containers and other ruins until we reached a vast opening surrounded by frozen crane arms. I observed one o

~ ISABELLE ~ I stared at the screen, wide-eyed, it was flashing '0 seconds'. I could hear my heart throbbing in my chest as I waited for the bombs to detonate and take the two of us out, but nothing happened.Instead, Talia threw her head back and laughed mockingly."That look on your face is priceless," She smiled, fighting the pain from the gunshot wounds I had given her. I turned to her, surprised.What did this mean?"So it's all set up?" I wondered out loud, ready to take her down. If this were all a setup, then I could save my servers after I put a bullet or two in her skull."Oh no," she laughed. "That was to scare you. Do you think I'm that suicidal?""You're a crazy bitch," I sneered, "But I have the remote now.”"That's a plaything. The real deal is here," She chuckled in pain and pulled out another remote form under her bloodied clothes. "Though when I press a button on this one. There'd be no countdown. Straight fireworks. Now that you know what's up, give me the keys, Is

~ ISABELLE ~ Goosebumps erupted over my skin as I heard the moon goddess's eerie laughter. It sent a shiver down my spine and struck me with terror. I remembered the night in the woods when I summoned her and presented her with a long list of qualities I sought in a mate."Isabelle, my child. I'm so glad to see you again," she said behind me. Her voice was low, almost a whisper. It always gave me the chills. It sounded too perfect, too otherworldly, too dreadful."Where am I?" I asked her. "Is this the afterlife?Did I die? If yes, then I want to see Damian... please!" I started pleading without wasting a second. I was willing to do anything to get him back.At my words, the moon goddess only laughed. Her voice did not hint at mercy or compassion; it was as if my pleas were funny to her."This is a punishment. I know it is. You took my arm, and now you took one of my mates," I cried."I didn't take enough," She remarked, and that gripped my heart."No... please, not Aiden, too. What
