Chapter 19: The untold truth
I was sitting in the lounge looking at the blank screen of the TV, and thinking about what should I do now. I wasn't even sure if I should trust anyone, but I had started trusting Isaac and his family even if I was reluctant to trust anyone now.
I remembered the dream which I had, I waved it off thinking it was a meaningless dream because of the medications, but after getting to know about the supernatural world I was doubting everything.
I instantly pulled out my phone and searched, "Grayson" After surfing the web, I couldn't find anything which made me frustrated, but what made me even more exasperated was the fact that I have been concealing the truth from Isaac.
I couldn't get the courage to confide in Isaac, but I knew he needed to know everything. I was terrified about everything, every situation was making me fearful.
I had to muster up the courage to tell Isaac everything about my life even if it concludes with him leaving me. I couldn't shake the fear of him leaving me, my heart started shattering inside my body whenever the notion of him abandoning me crossed my mind.
"Uh, Isabella?" A deep voice pulled me from my thoughts, it was Aiden with a frown on his face.
"Oh, hi Aiden," I smiled, politely.
He wrinkled his eyebrows, "I have been calling you for the last five minutes."
"Uh, sorry. I was just deep in thoughts," I replied, sheepishly.
Isaac came into the room with an annoyed expression on his face, but when his gaze fell on me his entire demeanor changed and he started smiling, "here you are."
I smiled, and Aiden interjected, "you never smile when you look at me."
"Get a pretty face, then he will smile," Liza popped her head from the kitchen.
Isaac flopped beside me on the couch, sitting very close to me he whispered, "hi."
"Hi," I whispered back.
"Shut up," Aiden rolled his eyes and threw a cushion at Liza who shrieked in surprise and dropped the mug she was holding.
Liza hissed and ran towards Aiden with the broken mug handle, "I will kill you with this broken piece."
Aiden ran out of the room followed by a furious Liza making me and Isaac laughed.
"Is your leg okay?" Isaac asked placing his hand on my thigh.
"It's fine, now. I can walk slowly,"
I started pondering about the truth, should I tell Isaac or should I not. There was a voice inside me that was screaming to tell Isaac everything but there was another hushed voice that was putting me to a halt.
"Hey, Isaac I need t-" before I could say anything, Ryan barged into the room with a letter in his hand and a furious expression on his face. Katie followed him into the room with a bandage in her arm and worry plastered on her face.
He handed the note to Isaac and spat while glaring at me, "it was wrapped in an arrow which was shot at Katie when she was at the cafe."
Isaac frowned and took the letter, I scanned the letter, and my breath hitched into my throat preventing me from breathing at a normal pace.
Dear Rosabella,
Or should I call you by your new name Isabelle, or the name which your mate calls you "Bella" it has a great ring to it because it matches your old name a lot.
You have disguised yourself with so many names, and so many identities before but don't forget. You can never hide from me, this time I will find you and not just you but also your mate and the people around you and I will give them the most brutal death you can imagine.
To whoever is reading this letter, deliver Rosabella to me and I will not put you or your pack in harm, but if you try to protect her. I will make sure to send a big rogue army to kill you along with her.
Little Rosa, if you want to keep everyone around you, most importantly your mate safe, surrender and come back to me because now it's just not me vs you, but me vs every person you care about. Your witch mother will not be able to keep you protected with her charms or spells anymore.
"It had this small note attached with it, which was hidden and nobody can see it without a blue light," Ryan glared at me while showing the note with a blue light.
Rosabella,
I hope your work is done there, and the alpha has started to trust you. Keep your head down and win the trust of every person in the pack, then we will attack and kill the little alpha like we killed his parents.
Isaac looked at me with wide eyes, "what is it, Bella?
I gulped and looked at him, my mouth was dry and I couldn't form a single word.
"She hid her identity from us. She has been lying from the start," Ryan yelled looking at me, "she has put this pack as well as us in danger, she's a fucking spy."
Isaac glared at Ryan, "I am asking this from Bella, not you."
"She should be thrown out of the pack for spying on the pack," Ryan growled, "I will not let any harm come near my mate because of her."
Isaac growled, "do not test my patience, Ryan. You are my friend, but don't forget I am still your alpha," Isaac's eyes were pitched black and he was breathing heavily like he was trying to control himself.
Aiden and Liza came back to the scene with their eyes wide and asked in unison, "what is happening?"
"Bella, tell me what is this?" Isaac closed his eyes to regain his composure and inquired, calmly.
"Isaac, I was meaning to tell you this, but I was scared," I whispered while trying to hold his hand, "and I don't know about the second note, I don't even know what is it about."
He glared at me and stepped back, "you were scared? That's why you didn't tell me this?" He had an annoyed expression on his face, "you got attacked twice, you didn't tell me this once."
Tears started spilling from my eyes, "Isaac, please listen to me. I didn't know it was him. I didn't know there was a connection between those two attacks and him."
Isaac exasperated and threw his hands in the air, "you hid your real name, you hid who you were from me, you didn't even tell me that someone was after you, that you needed protection."
I sighed while regaining my breath, "I couldn't trust you, I couldn't trust anyone. I have been running and hiding for four years now. I stopped trusting people a long time ago."
"You couldn't trust your mate to tell your real name?" Isaac growled making me shiver in fear, "or you hid your real identity to deceive me?"
"This mate concept is old for you but new for me. Even if you say we are mates. I didn't know if I could trust you with the truth of my life," I yelled with tears in my eyes.
Isaac held me from my arm and glared at me, "so you mean the second note is wrong?"
I looked at him with wide eyes, "I am not a spy, I don't know what the note says. I wasn't here to spy on you or your pack"
"Are you a witch?" Isaac barked while holding my arm tightly.
I winced in pain, "I am not a witch, what are you saying?"
Isaac clenched his jaw, "you could bewitch me into thinking you're my mate just so you can come to my pack, spy on us, and attack us."
I looked at him in disbelief, I never thought he would say something like this to me, "I never wanted to come here, you took me," I yelled while glaring at him.
Isaac laughed without any emotion, "you could have fooled me with your damsel in distress drama just so I could take you here."
I cried out, "Isaac, please dont make it worse than it already is."
Isaac yelled while coming closer to me, "you made it worse, Bella. I trusted you because you're my mate yet you faked everything, you easily fooled me I would give that to you."
Aiden came in between, "Isaac, think what you're saying."
Isaac glared at him, "back off, stay away from this."
Aiden yelled, "you're saying rubbish, you don't even know what you're saying. Don't say things which you will regret later."
Isaac left me and grabbed Aiden by his collar, "I don't want to hear a single word from your mouth," he yelled at him and turned towards me, "and you, I don't even want to see your face again."
"Isaac, please believe me. I am not a spy, I didn't betray your trust."
Isaac was standing in front of me with fury in his eyes, "I will not let any other spy harm me or my family again."
"Isaac, I don't even know anything about your family, I didn't do anything" I put my hand on his arm which made him more furious, "he's lying, I know he's lying."
"I don't even want to know who sent you this, I will get to know about this by myself" he barked on my face and held my hand, tightly, "and you stay away from me."
"I am sorry, I know I have hurt you by not telling the truth, and I can't even make amends, but please try to understand I just didn't tell you about my past. I didn't spy on you neither I wanted to put you in any harm" I cried but instead of listening to me, Isaac grabbed my hand and forcefully dragged me with him.
I cried and saw everyone had a different emotion running on their face, Katie had sympathy for me, Liza was still horrified about everything, Ryan was glaring at me while Aiden was frustrated.
"Isaac, you're hurting me, please" I yelled but he didn't hear and kept on dragging me and stopped in front of a room.
"You will stay here from now on, thank me that I am not throwing you in the dungeons for spying on my pack" he roared and pushed me inside the darkroom and locked it from outside.
I fell on my knees and started sobbing, loudly. I never thought Isaac would accuse me of something which I didn't even do. I don't know why Carl lied, I don't even know how he found me but the only thing I knew was I shouldn't have come here, I shouldn't have met Isaac, I shouldn't have gone on that damn road, but I couldn't do anything about the past.
I wiped my face, "I need to get out of here." Even if I couldn't do anything about my past, I could do something about the present.
