CHAPTER 17

ISLA

Why was he suddenly angry and left me in such a manner, I thought he wanted sex from me. The manner he left was kinda confusing.

I came from my bed and took a better dress to cover up myself, and walked to the table to take my phone.

"He just ruined my peaceful massage…argghh" I yelled as I glued my butt to my bed and turned on my phone.

I have not checked my phone for some days now all because I don't have anything to do with my phone, but still I get emails from my late fathers company

Workers.

I could see the endless massage notification popping in, 69 emails and 1 massage.

"Holy Molly!, That's a whole lot of messages!" I muttered as I clicked on the message that came from Mr Reluc my family personal lawyer, indeed it's been a while of seeing or talking to him.

Hey Dear Isla, I have been trying your line for a while noe, I have also gone to your house and found it dead empty…call me if you see this text.

"What the heck will I tell him if he ask about Tricia and Remy?, I don't even know how to lie about the long story" I muttered under my breathe as I dialed Mr reluc's line but wasn't reachable "I'd better go to the house and see what's going on around and also go to his office, I just have to convince the alpha that I will be back" I thought as I opened my closet to get a simple dress to wear.

KOZELL

I sat in front of my computer working on a new animations project to be launched soon, I have decided not to go to my company for as long as possible.

I wasn't really concentrating on what I was doing as my head was filled with thoughts of Isla's rejection.

"I'd better leave this work now till I get myself back together" I said as I turned of my system and made to the door.

"Guess the free air in the balcony will be alot better" I said as I opened the door to see Isla walking towards the door fully dressed as if she was going out or something, on seeing me she missed her step nearly falling to her face, I just decided to watch her and not help her as she got back to her feet.

As she gently walked with her head bowed not wanting to look into my face.

"Alpha… I'd like to ask you for a simple favour" she said as I placed my hand at the end of my door.

"Your request will be granted if you look right into my eyes" I said as she slowly looked up not still looking at my eyes but my nose or somewhere "you really don't have anything to say right?" I asked as she rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand.

"I do Alpha" she said as she looked straight into my hazel eyes but was suddenly short of words, she wasn't talking… Why is she suddenly speechless?.

"Hello…" I snapped her back to reality as she flinched a little and opened her mouth to let out a word but suddenly started hiccuping real hard and nonstop which got me kinda scared that she might lose her throat or something.

Is it really because of me she started hiccuping?, Why does she find it hard to look into my eyes and tell me words!.

"Isla are you okay?" I asked as I rubbed her back "should I get you water?" I asked as she shaked her head negatively.

"No… I am fi…" She tried saying as she hiccupped hard, I could tell how embarrassed she was as I took her into my room and made her sit on the black couch at the corner.

I quickly rushed to the dispenser and fetched some cold water as I fed her until she regained herself.

"Are you good now?" I asked as she slowly nodded "now tell me what it is, don't bother looking into my face" I said as she signed scratching her hair.

"Uhmm… I'd like to go home and see what's going on around their, and my family lawyer texted me he said he wants to see me, I am the heiress of my dad's properties and that gives me much responsibility, please just let me go I promise to come back before night fall" she said as I signed checking my wall clock.

"It's passed three already" I said pointing to the clock " I will go with you" I said as I stood up and made to my closet.

"No you really don't have to, I can take care of myself" she stuttered as I ignored her wearing my sky blue hoodie sweatpants.

I walked to the mirror as I used my hand to smoothen my hair and my full thick brows.

"Let's go" I said taking my car key from the table.

We walked to the packing lot as I opened the car.

"Alpha are we coming with you?" The head guard asked as I shaked my head negatively and signalled Isla to open the door and get in, just then I remembered the manly Courtney.

"Why do I keep forgetting to opened the door for her instead!" I thought to myself as I hit the steering wheel hard as Isla stared at me kinda confused… She wanted to say something but kept her mouth shut.

ISLA

He was acting kinda strange and angry while driving as he drove recklessly making me scared of losing my life.

I really wanted to ask him what his problem was but I decided to keep shut in other not to be shouted at because he can transfer the aggression to me.

"Which way are we taking?" He asked as I pointed at the sharp bend as he entered and continued driving, we where already close to my house but I was having a second thought of letting him see the mansion because ours was bigger than his although he's got a pent house, a classic one but ours is expensive and also beautiful.

I don't want him to know that I came from a rich home.

"There is no need wanting to hide your house from me, if I want to track you down I will definitely find you" he said reading my thoughts.

He was right anyways, by the way the mind reading wolf found us without being told the location.

"This is my house" I said pointing over as he drove towards the gate as it automatically opened revealing the magnificent Mansion.

"This is a beautiful one anyways" the alpha said as I smiled and made to come down " never mind I will open the door for you" he said and came down as he opened the door.

We walked towards the well structured door as I scanned through the mansion to see if I will find any fault and yeah I found one… The flowers were over grown because of lack of care.

"Why is the compound so empty and why are the flowers so grown?" He asked scanning the mansion.

" Because we don't have any worker around to take care of it, they all left after the death of my parents" I said as I sighted the paper lying on the floor and picked it up "what do we have here?" I said inwardly as I opened the piece of paper.

Isla, your phone line hasn't been going through,if you see this letter come to my office to take the documents to your dad's company.

The letter read…

"Who knows how long he has…" I tried saying as I turned to sight Mr Reluc and Emma walking down to the Mansion.

Mr Reluc wasn't looking like his real self, he wasn't smiling at me as he normally would on seeing me after a long time and his thick black hair is now having a little touch of white at the edge, that is Emma's hair color too.

What the heck is he doing with Emma now.
