Chapter Thirty Seven
Something had changed since I marked her, and I knew she was right; I was bound to have feelings for her.
“I guess that’s what you’ve wanted, and now you have it.” I said to Isabella.
“No, I didn’t take advantage of your situation, and if I ever wanted you to love me as you once did, I would prefer it happened the right way.”
“The right way?”
“Yes, the right way, but I know by now that with Riley in place, you will never admit what you feel for me. I don’t want to hurt her either, Thane.”
“You don’t?” I questioned, I didn’t exactly believe that.
“No. Riley and I are actually on the verge of becoming friends; and I don’t want this to come between you both, so I will stay away. That doesn’t mean I don’t still love you; I’m only doing this for her.” She said.
“Here I was thinking you hated her?”
“No, I don’t think she has done me any wrong has she?; the fact that we love the same man doesn’t mean we should hate each other.”
She was talking about me like I wasn’t seated right in front of her.
“Earlier you said my wolf was trying to reach out to you, that it felt restless having you this close and still not able to bond. You talk about this curse, but I assume what happened tonight wouldn’t have happened if you weren’t here.”
“Your assumption is partly correct. What happened to you would have still occurred even in my absence because that is a curse Lycans bear, but it would have taken some more years, my visit to the pack triggered it.“”
“So you still have your wolf? I mean, there are a lot of things left unexplained about you. The dead don’t come back to life, and the only way that can happen is if you are a demon, but you aren’t, so what exactly are you?”
“I lost…”
“Your memories.” I completed her sentence. “I don’t buy that
crap.”
“But it’s the truth; I am still a werewolf, though the connection to my wolf is weak. She is still in there, and that’s all I know for now.”

Chapter Thirty Seven
“You spoke about a man who reminded you of me; could you describe him?”
“The only thing I remember is that he reminded me of you. I didn’t know how I ended up there with him or why I was there, but I’ve been getting flashes, and I knew this was what I had to do.”
“It’s no secret that one’s mind can be manipulated; perhaps that’s what happened to you. Whoever that man is, he must have brought you here, but what doesn’t really make sense is why a complete stranger would be interested in helping me when most would so love to end me.”
“That I don’t understand either..But you can’t really blame the others for wanting you dead, you aren’t really a good person now are you?”
I gave no response to that.
“I should leave now.”
“Are you sure you don’t want to spend a night here? It’s already late.” she says, her voice laced with concern, but I saw through that.
“You spoke about staying away; you aren’t really doing a good job on that.”
“You are worried about what she would think if she discovered you spent the night with me.”
“I wouldn’t do that to her.”
“I know that; you don’t have to tell her about what happened tonight. I’ll be there by your side during the next full moon, but she doesn’t have to know anything.”
I wouldn’t keep this away from Riley, she had the right to know, but what I couldn’t predict was how she was going to take it.
“I wonder if this room is comfortable for you; it’s a bit small.”
“Is that Thane showing concern?”
“That’s not an answer.”
“The room is fine; I’m quite small, so I fit, unlike you.”
I shrugged; it was almost sunrise. I headed back to my room.
I could trust Riley, but I wouldn’t say the same for Isabella. I didn’t like the fact that
she was the only one who could help me; I needed to find another way out of this, one that didn’t involve her.
