ISABEL

“We don’t gotta be in love, no

I don’t gotta be the one, no

I just wanna be one of your girls tonight

We don’t gotta be in love, no-

I don’t gotta be the one, no

I just wanna be one of your girls tonight, oh”

I moved my hips to the lyrics and beat of the song, letting it fill my head as I let go of all my worries for the week.

Adeline wasn’t lying when she said I needed to act my age and for myself because I’ve never felt so relieved in a long time. One minute I was seated drinking and watching Adeline dance in the middle of the crowd and the next minute, I was dancing.

I didn’t know if it was the alcohol I took, but I was enjoying myself. The music felt so nice and it got into my head.

I was vibing to the song until I felt an arm snake around my waist.

“Hmmm, you dance so well,” I felt my ass against the stranger’s hard dick and I pulled away in disgust.

I scrunch my nose. He reeked of alcohol,

“You dance so well. I couldn’t help but come over. Why don’t you keep moving your ass that way against dick and who knows. I might do you a favor and you,” he remarked with a smirk.

I felt the urge to slap him but decided to walk away. I wanted to have fun tonight, and I refused for anyone to ruin my mood

“Come back pretty ass lady,” he grabbed my arms and 1 pulled away from his old.

*Leave me the alone!” I uttered, still trying to get away from him.

I find my way through the people dancing in the club while scanning for Adeline at the same time. Just where was she when

I needed her? My night was going great until this stranger decided to ruin it so I decided to go home.

“Come back here, I’m talking to you,” the stranger grabbed my arms again.

1 pulled my arms this time around and slapped him hard. “Leave me the alone!”

I ran out of the club, wanting to get some air. I was catching my breath when I heard the voice of the stranger again.

What does he want? I mentally groaned.

“You bitch! How dare you slap me? Do you know who I am? From what I perceive about you, you are nothing but an omega and you dare raise your hand to me?” He took daring steps towards me.

“Stay… stay away from me,” I warmed‘

“Stay away from you? What is your work as an omega if not to please your masters and serve as our slaves? Tell me! The

further he walked towards me, the more I walked away.

“Don’t… don’t come close,” I warned.

“Or what? You should be glad to try to touch you. It’s either you let me have my way or I will have my way by force,” he remarked, walking closer to me.

I tried to walk further away but it seemed I was stuck there was nowhere for me to go again. His intimidating steps only triggered my memories, reminding me of a terrifying past of mine.

I will you so hard that you will regret ever denying me. You could have just let me have my way and we would both enjoy it but you didn’t know I’d be the one to enjoy you while you scream out in pain,” he let out a dry laugh.

“You are insane! You are sick!” I spat irritated by his unfiltered words. He disgusted me.

All my life, all I did was as told as the slave that I was but the past four years changed me. I’wasn’t that same woman anymore but sometimes I did forget it and let people look down on me.

Feeling disgusted and irritated, 1 decided to go head–to–head with him. I could tell he wasn’t an ordinary werewolf and at the same time, I didn’t care too much to find out.

He lifted his hand to hit me but it never came down. I looked behind to see someone holding his hand. The person who had come to rescue turned out to be Logan.

“Disgusting pig. How dare you,” Logan uttered, twisting the arms of the stranger.

The stranger groaned in pain as Logan kicked him hard.

“Who are you and how dare you try to touch what is mine?” He stated.

Fm… I’m… I didn’t know that she belonged to you Alpha King Logan. Please… please forgive me and I vow to never cone her again, he cried out.

“I will let you go for now but I will make sure to find you and punish you. You bastard!” Logan kicked him hard one more time before letting him run off.

“Thank… thank you, I stuttered.

I panicked when the stranger was about to hit me. I always avoided situations that would trigger my past and remind me of the torture I went through as a slave.

“Are you fine?” Logan asked, a hint of concern laced om his tone as he walked closer to me.

“Yes, I am. Thank you,” I replied before attempting to walk off.

Isabel.

I halted on my track when I heard my name,

I could feel him coming closer to me. I tried to keep my breath even and not show a sign of nervousness.

“Can we talk?” He asked and 1 mentally scoff

Talk? What does he want to talk to me about? What is there to talk about? If I remember clearly, he didn’t want to have any conversation with me and avoided me four years ago so what does he want to say to me?

I decided to walk away because I recalled what happened four years ago when I wanted to speak to him, to inform him that I was pregnant with hopes of getting him to explain to me the reason for his actions but he held my wrist, preventing me

from making any further steps

“Please give me a chance,” he said.

I scoffed. “A chance?”

I pulled my wrist from his hold. “What do you want to talk about? Tell me, Logan!”

86%

“Do you want to talk about how the day of our wedding, the day that was supposed to be the start of a new and happy beginning for us turned out to be the day you got married to another? Do you want to talk about how you jilted me? How I was the last to find out that you were getting married to Jade, the woman you vowed to never be with?”

“Or so you want to talk about how you looked me in the eyes, those cold eyes, and agreed to marry Jade, sealing it with a kiss and watching me get dragged out?” I spoke with pain my my voice, my voice threatening to break from the sudden pain I felt from recalling what happened four years ago.

“What do you want to talk about Logan? Oh, there’s more. Do you want to talk about how you rejected me under the moon and the stars and had to be dragged and thrown out? Which is it!” I uttered in pain.

Tears filled my eyes, threatening to slip soon but I held still refusing to let it out because he didn’t deserve to see me in pain.

For years I never expressed how I felt about the betrayal. I wallowed away in sorrow, suppressing the burning feeling I felt and the urge to scream out loud.

For months I cried. For months I dreamt of that devastating moment. For months I was haunted by it. The images of my mate getting married to another and rejecting me.

The birth of my twins was the start of a new chapter for me. The birth of my twins brought light to my life and gave my life meaning.

“Em… I’m sorry,” he uttered and I scoffed in disbelief.

“You are sorry? For what exactly? Why are you sorry? For lying to me that I’d be the only one you love or for lying to me that Jade didn’t matter and your father’s words meant nothing? Which is it, Logan? Tell me!‘ I raised my voice in pain.

A drop of tears slipped down my cheek and I wiped it off immediately.

“A lot… a lot happened Isabel,” he said and I rolled my eyes.

“It’s fine. You are right. A lot happened. It’s been four years after all. We lived differently for the past four years so there’s not need to catch up,” I stated, turning to leave again but he stopped me.

He wrapped his arms around me from behind, preventing me from walking away.

I stiffened. My heart paced faster than normal from the shock of the familiar embrace.

“I know I’ve wronged you, Isabel. I know what I did four years ago was wrong and nothing can justify my actions but please, please give me a chance to explain, he said pleadingly.
