ISAAC’S POV
—
I watch as she sleeps , her dark hair tangled and messy around her face as she lightly snores . I could not bring myself to leave , the fear of her being taken again was eating me alive from the inside out .
My heart beat spikes as I think back to finding the room empty , it felt as if someone had shoot me in the chest , the terror that ran through my mind made me almost believe I couldn’t breathe .
“Can we talk ?” Josie’s voice makes my head snap into the direction of the open door . Her arms are crossed over her chest , her face sincere as she looks at me . I slowly stand up from the chair , careful to not make a noise while Alison sleeps . I gesture towards just outside the bedroom and I slightly pull the door shut , but there was still a small crack left open . “I’m glad she’s back .” Josie smiles as her eyes drag from the door to me .
“Me too .” I let out a sigh of relief . “But Sean told me everything .” Disapproval is written on every inch on her face . “I don’t want to hear it Josie .” I avert my eyes from hers , not wanting to listen to her preaching . “Well you are going to hear it Isaac . You might be older and alpha , but you’re just stupid .” She grits out and I could hear the judgement in her tone . “Shut up Josie .” I snarl at her , why does she always have to be like this ? I actually felt bad that she was taken , because even though she is annoying , she is my baby sister . But right now , a very small part of me wishes that she was gone again .
“Or what Isaac ?” She scoffs , her back straightening as she glares at me , her brown eyes boring into mine . “Or I will banish you to your room .” That sounded lame , I sounded like a father instead of a brother . “My room ?” She scoffs in a chuckle . “Yes .” I stand my ground . “Then do it .” She challenges me , “And while you banish me to my room , why don’t you tell your little mate what you actually did ?” She grins , she has always been like this . She always loves to know everything so that she can hold it over my head for leverage .” , “Get going Josie .” I grit out . “Or you tell her that you traded her off or maybe I will .”
Josie winks and my blood boils as my eyes flick to the door and I ignore Josie as I walk in , still finding Alison fast asleep on the bed .
Thank the goddess .
“Josie , get lost before I do something worse .” I grit out . I knew she was a brat , but this is taking it one step too far .
I want to rip that smirk off her face and slap her with it . My eyes momentarily flicks down to her stomach where her child is being formed and foe the first time , I have pity for the little fellow because to have that as a mom , is terrible .
“What are you going to do ? Hit me ? You won’t hit a pregnant woman .” She stands proudly and I roll my eyes . “I will never hit a woman in the first place , but I will take that child away from you if you don’t go away because every insufferable second that you stand in front of me , I begin to realize how mentally ill you actually f*****g are .” I grit out , stepping closer to get in her face and she goes bleak , her eyes widening and her lips pressed in a thin line . “You wouldn’t .” She grits out but I could see her glassy eyes , she wants to cry . “Try me . Now go .”
I growl and she whips around , flicking her hair through the air before striding away to her room .
How did we end up like this ? She was so sweet , until she wasn’t and I wasn’t a liar , until I lied to her .
I walk back into the room , watching Alison’s sleeping form and I crawl onto the bed , laying down behind her and I drape an arm over her waist before I pull her closer into me .

ALISON’S POV
—
My blood was boiling as anger rippled through every vein in my body . I woke up when Josie entered the room , but my gut was telling me that I should pretend to sleep , to listen to their conversation and I swear I could feel my heart shatter as she mentioned me being traded off like I was nothing , it was kind of surprising to find out that she is such a b***h , but at least I now know the truth and the worst part is that Jax wasn’t lying , he was telling the truth .
I wanted to rip away from him with all my might , to break his hand like he broke my heart . The way he pulls me closer disgusts me right now because even though he is my absolute everything , I am nothing to him and when he threatened his sister .. it was shocking and Jax was completely right , he isn’t who I thought he was . He is the absolute opposite , he’s heartless , a wolf dressed like a sheep . How could I ever believe that he loves me ? He would rather save his brat of a sister and lovely mother than be with me . I just can’t wrap my mind around why he would lie to me ? He could have told me the truth , we could have done this together but no , he has to do it alone and now he will live alone too .
