Isabelle Salas Zayac never thought she would see the outside world ever again. Curled up on the cold floor of a cellar,with her soul crushed and body full of scars she was never meant to get better but only worse. Being mute served as another stab t...

Archie was still holding my hand,looking ahead while keeping his distance from me. I don't know if he's respecting my space or what,but then,he doesn't have any idea about me or my past right? I could feel the sparks that ignited inside me at the very touch of his. His hand in mine fit like a key in a lock. Just like if Moon Goddess made him just for me. How just minutes ago I was willing to let go off him,I have no idea why.
My head was running with a million of different thoughts. How is he so perfect while I'm nothing close to it?Why did Moon Goddess paired me with an Alpha,a male like him?If I am to be the Luna then will I ever be good enough?Will Sophia be happy for me and Archie?How am I gonna tell Archie about James and the things he did to me. I know it would infuriate him when he'll come to know. If he sees my scars,I know he will loose it. That's a thing about mates. They feel,what you feel once you get marked. Your pain,is theirs and your happiness is theirs too. Its like a single soul,is captured in two different bodies.
I felt his grip loosen on my hand and then he slipped his arm around my waist and tugged me close to him. He turned his face so that his lips were almost touching my ear and I was totally pressed at his side. 'What's going on inside that pretty little head of yours ma belle?' his breath fanning on my ear as he spoke and I felt a shiver run down my spine. Him being this close to me was making me feel things I shouldn't,thinking of him in ways I shouldn't. It was a whole different kind of tension between us,the kind that makes you yearn for more. I lowered my head and my hair fell forward,covering my blazing face from his gaze. Even his husky voice set fire inside me. Goddess what is he doing to me?
My legs felt like jelly but Archie's grip was enough to keep me in place. His other hand came up to brush my hair behind my shoulder,exposing my face to him. His finger slipped under my chin and he slowly turned my face towards him. I can't make myself to look at him because every time I do,I feel like I'm not good enough for him.
'Don't hide your face from me ma belle. Now look at me.' his scent flooded my insides and the way my side was totally pressed in his,had tingles running inside me. I can't believe I'm standing this close to him but then,he's my mate,the only one I'm supposed to be comfortable around.
'Look at me Isabelle.' he lifted my chin a little more upward and I instantly met his gaze,the green pools I can always get lost inside. He smiled as I obliged to his command.The way my name rolls down his tongue is a complete different story. Standing this close to him I realize that I only reach his shoulder and I have to tilt my head back in order to look at him. He looks so intimate towering over my small frame.
My wolf purrs inside my head because of our proximity.
'You're blushing.' Archie smirks at me and a breathy laugh escapes me. Of course no sound came out and it probably looked like I'm choking on air,but still it was for the first time that I felt so happy.
Just an year ago I was lying on a cold cellar floor,chained to the wall and tied up in a blanket,shivering while blood poured out of my body feeling completely numb inside and now here I am,standing right beside my mate who seems so caring and loving. I hope it all lasts even after I tell him everything. I have no idea why I'm not using the mind link with him and he's not even expecting me to answer him.
