Eric's lips brush mine, a slow, light action that already has me hooked. A comforting warmth engulfs my body, spreading from limb to limb like wildfire. His sweet lips move delicately with my own, the caress of his lips softer than I could have imagined. It is over too soon as he drifts away. "Now was that so difficult?" Eric murmurs as I try to register what just happened.

While trying to see the best in everyone, Isabella finds herself battling against her own mind. After an attack on her pack, she has to choose between her newly discovered Alpha mate and her beloved, younger sister. Her heart is in the palm of his hand--though she struggles to admit it--but that doesn't mean he won't crush it. It is a game of trust, and she cannot afford to lose.

Big Bad Alphas

I charge down the stairs with the same feelings I felt for Landon before I tackled him to the hard ground. Quickly, I aim for the kitchen where I find Eric leaning against the counter drinking water. /"Isabella, how did things—/"

I interrupt him with tears of fury streaming down my face. /"You bastard!/" I shout and snatch the nearest thing before chucking it at him.

Immediately Eric's face shifts, and he dodges the fruit bowl that was flying towards his head. /"What are you doing?/" He yells at me.

/"I never want to see your face again!/" I cry just as Caroline jumps into the room and grabs my hand. /"Don't touch me! Both of you, just stay away from me!/"

I strive for the door and swing it open before slamming it shut. Feelings of betrayal, fury, rage, hurt, they all run through me in a combination high of pure wrath. Never has my heart ached so intensely, never have I felt so broken and disappointed.
