Alex POV.I was contemplating on taking her with me but I knew she would not consent to wearing any cloth i'd offer since they weren't hers, and Anna had a pretty large frame so i knew her clothes wouldn't fit her.As I got downstairs, i saw Kevin still in his seat, reading. "Don't let Isla leave her room, and don't let anyone in as well." I told him, and Kevin nodded, noting the knowing look in my eyes before he vanished from the dinning room.I totally hate when he does it but I trust him not to betray his Alpha with his hybrid abilities."You wanted to see me, Alpha?" Nathaniel voice called at me and I turned to see him approaching. He looks ready to go out with me."That's new .."I tried a humor chuckle, but it died down on seeing that Nathaniel's expression hasn't faltered or broke for even a second. "You're calling me Alpha now? What the fuck Nate, the elders aren't even around.""Aren't you the Alpha, after all? ""You always call me Alex... Stick with it, it’s more like it’s

Isla POV."You think I would?""I don't know. It's up to you to show me and the people what you've got. Even Alex is anticipating... He loves you and that's because of the mate bond pull. He would want to see what you've got. It's a natural instinct of an Alpha. You have to be good at something. The Elders will not concede to your Luna ceremony if can’t don't bring anything to the table. They don't care if you're his fated mate or not" He slowly licked his lips and then leaned forward to continue, his expression even more serious than earlier. "If you can't show them how capable you are physically, emotionally and mentally... You will be cast aside and Lizzy will take your position."I swallowed hard, the thought of proving myself to some group of elders to be deem worthy isn’t part of what I was meant to do. I just want the red gem of vitality.. how did it come to this? But then again, Alex is my mate and the thought of him being with someone else would definitely break me."You're

Kevin finally pulled Avery into his lap and put two fingers into her mouth and she began to suck. "What... Is she doing?" I questioned, my curiosity getting the best of me."She's sucking my blood... It usually calms her down. I think she hasn't had any to drink and that's why she's acting like a maniac.""She's nice and she didn't mean any harm by what she said." I reasoned."I know, but remember that as long as you're with Alex, Lizzy won't hurt you, okay?"I nodded and turned back to Avery, finding her very interesting to look at since i had only read of vampires in books and watched them, but I didn't know i'd be seeing one in the flesh."Are you a pure blooded vampire or a hybrid?" I asked Avery and Kevin took that as a cue to pull his fingers away, but Avery grabbed onto it and licked off the specks of blood left at the tip.As she licked the tip with a satisfied smile, her crimson red eyes shone and i could see the tip of her fangs just before she closed her mouth. "I'm a pur

Nate's POV.I was just about walking into Lizzy’s room when I realized she had locked her door from the inside. I wiggled the door knob with a sigh. “Lizzy?”There was no reply from inside and I wiggled the door knob again with a knowing expression on my face. "I know you're In there, Lizzy. Open up."Silence. I sighed. "Come on. I brought your favorite chips... Don't you want to have a taste?"More Silence. It was starting to irk me out and i was considering leaving, but decided to try one more time. "... Please?"After some seconds, I heard footsteps approaching the door and when it opened up, Lizzy was standing there in a thigh length T-shirt, barefoot, with her hair up in a messy bun. "What do you want?!" She harshly berated me, her hand still on the door knob and glaring.I swallowed, my eyes scanning her from the messy bun to the body hugging T-shirt to her bare legs, and down to her barefoot before staring up to her face, taking note of the naked rage in her eyes, Inclu

Nate's POV"I think you are a sweet and intelligent woman and I just want to cheer you up, okay? So I'm taking you out for dinner at your favorite restaurant. I'll buy you whatever you want.""Okay that's it. You're acting overly nice. What's the deal with you?" She threw her hands up in the air, getting frustrated."Lizzy, I just want to take you out for dinner. Is there a problem? I'm not being overly nice, and even if I am, it's because you deserve it, okay?""I don't believe you but you better not be trying to play a fast one on me or you will be sorry."I swallowed, "Okay. Fine. Lizzy, let's go out for dinner, I'm hungry and I'll need some company while I eat.." with that i shoved the dark gown into her hands. "Happy now?"She shoved the gown back in my hands and took a brown body hugging gown. Without a word, she walked into the closet and shut the door in my face. Sighing, I walked towards the bed and got down, thanking the moon goddess for seeing Alex and Island on time to
