21ISABELLA‘That’s a bold accusation.” Rohan scoffed, his full attention on Clinton now.“I didn’t accuse anyone,” Clinton volleyed back. “I only said Isabella may be able to help me track the thief.”“Why would you think I could help you?” My voice came out calmer than I felt.Alpha Clifford nodded to the man next to him, one of the guards I recognized with the same attire of the moon ball.The bulky guard stepped forward holding up something that looked ridiculously familiar.My necklace.The delicate silver chain swayed slightly between his fingers.Instinctively, my hand rubbed my neck where the piece used to rest. Since Derek had given it to me I hadn’t removed it. I had gotten used to it, I didn’t realize when it fell off.This was a bad look.“I already inspected the jewelry, it's the same one I gave Isabella.” Derek clarified to no one in particular.“Still it doesn’t prove anything,” Rohan argued defensively.“Calm your horses Rohan, I only came to talk to Isabella, I’m sure

CHAPTER 23ROHAN“You should have said something, a warning would have been appreciated?” I growled, craving for a drink but I didn’t have anything with me.That would be the next thing I do, repair the bar. I needed something to drown away these thoughts.Bellamy paused looking at his phone to give me a knowing glance.“Does Ravena scare you or finally settling down?” He teased and I wished one of those reasons were why there was a heavy lump in my throat.I was just as surprised as Isabella.She was trying to hold it back but I could tell it made her upset. She was lonely and though it wasn’t a reason to kiss my brother’s wife, she was just too hard to resist.“Maybe it’s not that,” Bellamy commented when I didn’t react. “I thought you wanted to get this over with as quickly as possible,” he said with a smug grin.Of course I did. Ravena’s dad was a huge part in finally getting to the top of the ranks.“I do,” I shot back immediately. “But I would have appreciated knowing she was go

ISABELLA “That’s funny,” I whispered, rubbing my temples trying to focus the world a bit disoriented. “I could’ve sworn you said I was pregnant." I said with a nervous chuckle but the doc's face didn’t change.“Mrs Isabella Obsidian, you are in fact pregnant.” The room seemed to tilt, like the ground beneath it had shifted just slightly off balance.“No,” I whispered, refusing to comprehend.She stepped closer, placing a file into my hands. The words written carried a truth my mind refused to hold.“These are your lab results,” she explained. “It’s still early, but the signs are clear.”My fingers trembled against the paper.“Have you noticed any symptoms?” she asked.Symptoms.My thoughts scattered like startled birds.The fatigue.The strange heaviness in my body.The vomiting.Oh no…I swallowed.“I…” My voice faltered. “I didn’t think—”I pushed myself upright too quickly.A sharp dizziness swept through me, eclipsed with a faint wave of nausea.My hand shot out, gripping the s

27ISABELLACHAPTERISABELLAI forced a smile as she approached looking poised and perfect, even more radiating than the last time we met.Derek and Victoria had been childhood friends, she was his father beta’s daughter. Back in school it was rumored they were dating because of how close they had been and Derek even confessed that she was the first girl he fell in love with but those feelings changed when our parents decided to form an alliance.My father’s pack sitted comfortably at the top of the lycantrophe packs, due to his hard work and ruthless nature he was feared and respected but I was his only child.My mom died during her second delivery and since she left all I wanted was to make my father love me again. To earn his love and respect back.I was respectful, obedient without complain and even complicent when he delivered the news I was to marry one of the hottest bachelors.In some way I felt I came in between theme but I didn’t have a choice.“Luna Isabella,” She said cool

29ISABELLAMy fingers tightened around the small object as I wondered if I had been mistaken—if, by some strange coincidence, the conclusions my mind had drawn were wrong."Isabella."Derek’s voice came from behind me.I didn’t turn.My fingers tightened around the earring.“Isabella,” he called again, louder this time.I swallowed, my chest tightening.I didn’t want to look at him.Didn’t want to see his face and try to read something that might already be obvious.“Isabella.”This time there was urgency in his voice.My head snapped toward him.I opened my mouth, the question already forming—Whose is this?But the words died before they could leave.He didn’t look right.His hand pressed against the edge of the bed, his posture unsteady.“I don’t feel well,” he muttered.Everything in me paused.“What?”He tried to straighten, but his body didn’t follow.And then—He collapsed.“Derek!”He slipped off the bed, hitting the floor with a dull thud.The sound knocked the air out of me
