Isabella and Kane

Chapter 8

Isabella's POV

Everywhere ached but what really hurts the most was the memory of what happened and who did it. It's not the first I got beaten by him but it's more embarrassing that Kane saw. Is he going to kick me out? Especially since I don't belong here. I slowly opened my eyes and started scanning my surroundings. I was in the room. I was way too embarrassed to move and my heart sank because I was all alone. I waited for hours constantly checking my tablet and no one showed. It was now 4 am and I could no longer stay awake. The last thought that crossed my mind was, ' that I am nothing but a disappointment that no one cared about.'

Kane's POV
Since she wanted to go outside; I decided to take her shopping. Knowing that I'll have to introduce her to the pack sooner or later because I can't keep restricting them from approaching the house or making noise nor can I keep her locked in my room; no matter how badly I wanted to keep her that way. My world was dangerous; I was dangerous and no matter how much I wanted to hide her from the dangers of this world I knew that I couldn't always be there to protect her.

I woke up at 5:30am as usual and went to the office after showering and freshening up other parts of my body; deciding to give her more time to sleep.
It was 7:30 when I decided to wake her and she still refused to budge. Until I got annoyed and used my alpha tone to get her out of bed. After giving her clothes and telling her to get ready now I left the room.

Thirty minutes later she was finish. I led her through the door, down the hall and stairs. I was mere seconds from the door when I realised that she was no longer behind me but in the kitchen.
"Do you like it?" I questioned as her eyes consumed the sight before her blissfully.

"Like??!!! Oh no, I love it" She continued "your kitchen is humongous and heavenly; please please let me cook something" She pleaded with the most adorable looking face I've ever seen.
Probably from excitement She spun around straight into my arms calming both my wolf and I instantly before she quickly fled from my hold.
"I'm sorry!!" She stuttered.
"Can I please cook something" She begged desperately. To which I sighed and permitted with a "whatever" then left.
Assuming that she would take less than a hour I quickly rushed through my paper work and completely lost track of time.

It was three hours later when all the work vanished and I checked my watch I heard a frightful scream.

My heart pounded as I rush out the door and down the stairs. I ran to her side already in a defensive position and checking her body for wounds. Soon enough I realised that she was okay I asked "What's wrong"
"I... i... i...i... i cooked tooo much. I'm sooo sorry for using alll of your ingredients and food. I'm sorry!!" She said with her head bowed in shame.
It was then that my eyes scanned the entire kitchen and saw that the counters and island, both were filled with plates; even the stove was filled with 6 pots.
"What the fuck" I said completely shocked.

Damn did this girl already knew of the pack and just how much wolves ate? In three hours!!!

"I am soooo sorry" She said with regret all over her beautiful face.
"I will buy back all your stuff I promise" She whispered.

Both of us knew that she had no money so I don't know why she would make such a promise plus why was she overreacting it was just food.

"I didn't know that you wanted to cook for the entire pack." It slipped from my mouth so I quickly covered it up with a
"Lets go"
Then walked out ahead of her.

I got in the Audi that I asked my second in command to leave outside after opening her door and letting her in.

The ride was silent; which I was thankfully for because I used the opportunity to mind link my pack and tell them to finish the food leaving enough for me to eat later. I also ensured that we had at least 3 wolves following us secretly and made sure to warn them not to let anyone approach me.

Twenty minutes later, I drove into the mall and parked.

"Let's go" I said.

I walked towards the first store with Isabella trailing behind me as usual my wolf could feel that our mate was nervous and it was bugging him but I ignored them both.

I stepped into the store and momentarily forgot to hold the door open as it was not something I was accustomed to doing. As I was about to turn and open the door I heard a small but embarrassed "ouch".

Isabella had walked into the door and I couldn't find it in me to do nothing but admire how beautiful she looked.

"Take whatever you like" I commanded her then sat on a chair facing the dressing room. Shortly later she joined me at the chair and said that she was perfectly fine with her old ones.
"Ok; go in the dressing room and try on what I give you" I instructed and walked away before she could think of protesting.

I always found shopping tedious but nothing was more mesmerizing than watching her walking out in each of the clothing I gave her. She was around 5' 10" but she look just as adorable and as innocent as any 5' 1" girl would. Even though she refused the clothings earlier every time we both the clothes and entered another store I could she that she was somewhat exited. However 4 hours later I could see exhaustion dancing on her beautiful face but she never complained. I put an end to my selfishness and told her to meet me at the food store and told one of my pack members that was working at the store to take a trolley and follow me to the car with the bags.

I was almost near to where Isabella was when I saw a short beefy looking drunkard punched my mate in her stomach making her fall to the floor. Then the soon to be dead man started filling her body with millions of kicks!

"You damn gold diggerous Bitch! Why aren't you dead? Why are you dressed in such pretty stuffs? why do you have such expensive bags on you? you should die now just like your whoring step mom and so should your bastard of a father!!" The man yelled at Isabella.

"Get the fuck away from her you damn bastard" I said punching him to the ground. My wolf wanted to shift but I couldn't allow that because he would kill the man plus we were in public. I fed him a few more rounds of punch when I glanced over and saw that Isabella had fainted. I rushed over to her and picked her up and sprinted to the car while mind linking my beta telling him to get the man I knocked out and take him to the underground dungeon. After I told my pack doctor to meet me at the house in no more than 15 minutes.
