Half Truths

Isabella

I've lied to those I love the most.

I'm the keeper of all secrets, but I've broken that trust. I don't know if they'll ever forgive me, but what I've done, I've done out of love and loyalty.

To my family. To my mate.

To the little one, I dream of every night . . .

Everyone has secrets.

Some are harder to hide than others, and yet, I see the strain in her eyes. I feel the hopelessness in her soul but have kept my promise to let fate run its course. Even when the animal within demands to take control-to fight and be her protector-when it's against herself she needs saving from.

But then she disappears. Is taken.



I'M A BEAST.

UNTAMED.

WILD.

And I'm coming for what is mine.
