“Why are you doing this to me, Harper? I trusted you so much” Isla cried, clutching her bleeding stomach with her hands.
The two of them were in a dark and wet dungeon, Isla was lying on the floor dressed in a tattered white dress that was bloodstained at the abdomen showing she had just been stabbed.
Harper who was opposite her laughed “Thank you for your trust Isla, if not for it, I wouldn't have been able to poison your Dad and help Gerald take over your father's pack”
“What….What did you just say?” Isla asked, trying to ignore the stabbing pain that was coming from this poisoned wound
“I said, I was the one in charge of poisoning your Dad, the funniest point is that you were the one that gave your father the poison. Have you forgotten? On his birthday, I bought a cake for your father and asked you to give it to him which you did, do you know what I put in that cake? I It'swolfsbane then it slowly eroded and destroyed his organs, even though your father is an Alpha, he's not strong enough to fight against Wolfsbane” Harper revealed a fanatical look in her eyes as she narrated the ugly event
Isla stared in disbelief at her cackling best friend, tears of hate and pain rolled down her eyes “I hate you so much for the pain that you have caused e someone else is going to pay you back your own, I curse you to die a painful death” Isla said bitterly.
“Shut your trap b****! There's nothing you can do about it we have already taken over your pack you will soon die like the used toy you are, see you in your next life” Harper giggled, plunging the silver dagger into Isla's stomach.
The last thing Harper saw before she permanently blacked out was Harper's intoxicated face.

“Do you, Isla Barlow, take Gerald Finley as your husband to love and cherish him in all situations?”
This was the first thing Isla heard when she came through.
She winced at the bright light that was shining into her eyes fiercely, it had been a long time since she had seen the bright light since she was locked up by Gerald and Harper.
“Isla, what's going on? Are you okay?” She heard her father's worried voice.
Worried? Father?
Isla's eyes widened as she looked around the venue she was in.
It was a familiar hall, she remembered it clearly, this was the decoration used during her wedding day.
“What's going on? I thought I died… no …I cried! I could remember Harper stabbing me and Gerald…” She looked up and was surprised to see Gerald beaming at her warmly, with encouraging eyes.
No, Gerald before her was looking younger, Just like eight years ago before their marriage
“ Miss Isla, do you take Gerald Finley as your husband?” The priest asked for the second time and that was when Isla realized that she had come back in time, 8 years before before married wedding day to be exact.
“NO, I DON'T '' Isla yelled, startling everyone around them, there were murmurs among the guests and even the priest himself had a confused expression on his face.
“What do you mean by that, Isla, you agreed to marry me?” Gerald said. He was panicking Inside but he forced out a smile, wanting to know why Isla had suddenly said no.
“Because I don't want to marry you anymore, I found out that I love someone else”, Isla said removing the veil that was covering her face.
“You are trying to prank me right? you are not serious about this”, Gerald asked, holding onto her hands, preventing her from getting down the altar.
“Why do you think that it's a prank, Gerald I'm serious that I said I don't love you, I was just messing with you, I didn't even know that you would take it that seriously”, I said In a flippant tone.
She flung his hands away from her and climbed down the altar, holding onto her father.
“I refuse to believe that lie, Isla! We are so much in love we have planned out our future, why then are you…” tears rolled down Gerald cheeks as he stared at Isla, love in his eyes.
Isla scoffed in her heart ‘ Actor, keep on acting but today you won't be able to fool me, I know all your plans now
“So you think I'm a fool to fall blindly in love with you, look at yourself and look at me, my father is an influential man in the werewolf world and our pack is the largest and strongest in the country, so just what can you offer me to make me fall in love with you?” Isla asked with raised brows.
Gerald's face turned red in embarrassment, he knew that what Isla said was the truth.
She was the heiress of a large pack and if anything ever happened to her father, she would be the one to be the Alpha of the pack.
This was one of the main reasons why he had courted her and with his sweet tongue had made her fall in love with him or was she fooling him? Had she found out his plans?
No!, Gerald thought, he wouldn't let Isla slip off his fingers easily.
She was his ticket to expanding his pack and becoming the alpha of the largest pack in the country.
Gerald jumped down from the altar and held onto her hands tightly, "I'm not letting you go anywhere until you show me who you have fallen in love with, that's not too much to ask right?” Gerald said with gritted teeth.
“Fine, he's much better than you anyways”, Isla said and looked around the friends, family, and pack members had been tortured
Her eyes fell on a handsome man who was apathetically playing with his phone
“He's much more handsome than Gerald and he looks powerful” Isla hissed inside her mind and stalked towards him.
“Hey babe, I thought I told you not to come, I will handle it my way”, Isla said in a coquettish voice, she bent her head and plastered her lips on his.
In the sight of everyone.
