All Chapters of The Alpha’s substitute mate: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

IsabellaIt was pitch black, I was surrounded by darkness. I felt extremely cold and I had been walking in this darkness for what seemed like forever. It feels like an endless tunnel, my heartbeat was spiking up as I kept walking. A certain fear crippled my insides, the more I kept walking, the more the air around me turned heavier. Suddenly I heard voices calling my name, I turned in the midst of darkness and followed the direction where the voices were coming from, and my surroundings grew foggy, allowing clear light to float in.I woke up and my brows furrowed confusedly at the faces observing me. I looked around and the beeping machine and saline drip were enough to tell me where I was. Immediately they noticed I was awake. Lance held my hands and there was a glint of pain and anger in his eyes. Queen Selena sat on the bed close to me, her eyes were puffy and her nose was dripping with mucus, it seemed as if she had been crying for ages.I shifted my gaze searching for him and the

IsabellaI felt sad that the last memory of him would be like this, writhing on the bed with another woman. I got up and made my way down to my chamber and picked up my bag and jacket. I took one last look around my room. “Home” hadn't lasted very long and I was sad I had to leave so much behind but I needed to do it for my safety. I closed the door quietly and made my way down to the elevator.The pack house was mostly quiet now and the omegas had finished their work and had gone to their various quarters. I got to the down floor and I quietly walked straight out the front door and down the long curving driveway. Somewhere out in the night, I knew there were some warriors in charge of patrols, watching the borders. I just walked straight on the driveway, that way it would be a lot less suspicious if I just went straight on rather than trying to be sneaky and hide in the shadows. I was right though, I had almost made it to the road the boundary line was only a few meters away. And o

Malcolm My heart was beating so fast in my chest, I didn't need any damned seer to tell me she had left. I felt it. Everyone in the pack felt it when Luna severed her link with the pack“ I felt its sharp pain in my gut, but the pain I felt deep in my chest was far worse. It ruptured through my chest and left my heart in ruins. I grabbed a handful of hair roughly, this can't be happening. Where are you, Isabella? I can't lose her, I can't stand the pain of not having her close to me,” I mumbled to myself and staggered out in the hallway, holding my aching stomach. Just then Arden came out of his room, “ Where is she?” he screamed to no one in particular in the hallway. My gaze traveled to him. I was about to speak when a woman obviously the whore he had spent the night with, came out of the room and tried to wrap her arms around him “It's good she's gone Alpha, you don't need her, remember I'm here for you,” “You slut!” Arden turned his rage on the half-naked woman who was on her

Malcolm When the warriors had searched everywhere without any report on the Luna, Arden got furious and decided to lead a search himself. “ Let's go,” he said and grabbed my arm while dragging me toward the door.“ Go where?” I inquired. I had no intention of helping him search for Bella. As much as it hurts that she is gone, I knew she would never be safe in this house with Arden.“ We are going to her Dad’s pack. Where else would she easily flee to?” I gave an audible sigh, I have always wanted to meet her family, especially her Dad. Rumor had it that he despised her so much. I stopped resisting and let him pull me out towards the parking space. I knew that we wouldn't find her at her Dad’s pack. She was too smart for that and also her Dad would have called Arden to inform him if she was there.We arrived at Alpha Nicholas Cross pack. It was an old pack with a grand yard that seemed to be created to perfection. The grass seems jubilant green, and the various colors of flowers bl

Malcolm Faint rays of the sun were glinting on the window and filtering in through the narrow slit in the window that was left open to let in some air. I had stayed up all night drafting plans but I was running out of ideas. I pinched the skin on my forehead and sighed loudly, stood up from the bed flexing my legs to the window and boring hard into the morning sun just outside. I felt a chilling sadness inside.Days have rolled into weeks and drifted by and Bella was still missing. I felt her absence like a canker sore in my soul. To know I had a mate that was out there, but I couldn’t reach her was gnawing me up inside. She was my life and she left me. I fought back the waters that stung my eyes. Oh Goddess, please help me.I rubbed my palm against the back of my neck, leaning on the wall. “ Isabella, my mate and my world, where are you? I need you more than life itself.” I was in pain but it was even worse for Arden. At first, I thought he was becoming mentally unstable. He lost h
