Forbidden Love

Chapter 1

"Stop it Isilee. Not another fucking word about it. We have got such little time together and you want to spend it talking about this shit then you may as well leave now - do not ruin our precious moments" he snarls which lets me know that I should just be quiet - I don't want to argue with him but it's always the same. Perhaps dad is right; Thaddeus may not want to commit to me, he may be only stringing me along.

Just the thought has my eyes watering - all I want is to be mated to the male I love, I want to belong to Thaddeus and for him to belong to me so we can live together as one. We often talked of our future; our house, our pups, their names - everything except how exactly we'd get there. I thought it'd be easy but Thaddeus is making this a lot harder than I thought it would be.

"My female" he sighs, rubbing my back and lowering his head to kiss my cheek "I love you Isi, but drop this, stop talking about it" he says gruffly, wiping my tears away. I close my eyes and rest my head on his shoulder with a content sigh "I have missed you" I confess, which has his hands rubbing my skin "Not as much as I have missed you" he tells me.

We stay wrapped in each others arms for what feels like only a second before someone's presence interrupts us "Hi-"

"Fuck off Aurelia" Thaddeus growls, sitting up straight, his body tensing as he pushes my head to tuck into his neck, facing away from the female "Please come sit with us, introduce us to this female we want to meet her" the female whines. "Leave us alone" is Thaddeus' reply "I feel bad for taking you away from your friends, you can go sit back with them and I'll leave" I suggest kissing his neck even though I don't want to go, I feel as if I've stolen him from his friends.

His grip immediately tightens "No. You're staying." he demands, "Come over here" Aurelia says, taking my hand and pulling me up as Thaddeus stands as well, keeping his iron grip on my waist and walking over to their table.

His friends stand and Thaddeus slides into the booth, getting to the centre whilst I stand there nervously under the watchful gazes of his friends "Come here Isi" he says, holding a hand out which I quickly take and he pulls me into his side before his friends sit back down, Aurelia right next to me.

They are all silent as they stare at me, my male keeping his arm around me so I'm pressed against him as he picks up his drink that he'd left and takes a few gulps - not helping with the awkwardness.

I feel my hands shake slightly so I hold them together, hating the nervousness and shyness that overcomes me when being the centre of attention or meeting new people. I feel my cheeks flame as I tuck a piece of my blonde hair behind my ear "I am Isilee, it's nice to meet you all" I say, my male's hand gently rubs my hip as he kisses the top of my head to relax me.

"I'm Aurelia" she says from beside me "And this is my brother Atticus" she motions to the male on the other side of Thaddeus who nods my way when we catch eyes. "Hi" I quietly say "I am Dahlia" a dark haired female says, her pale blue eyes a startling contrast to her mane of raven black "Seraphina" the female says from beside her, "I am Jasper, it is nice to meet you Isilee" the honey eyed male says with a slight smile "I am Thaddeus' brother, Dominic" the last male says, his features similar to Thaddeus which has me smiling towards him loving that I have met a part of my male's family but the smile is not returned.

"Your eyes, they're purple so you must be the only Alpha's daughter" Jasper says, eyes burning in curiosity, the mention of my uniquely coloured eyes has a slight blush overcoming me as they all stare at me - always my eyes draw unwanted attention. "Yes" I respond "Alpha Klaus Anttila's daughter?" Aurelia asks which has me nodding - "Didn't Thaddeus tell you?" I question looking back to my male but he's glaring at his brother, his eyes clouded meaning they must be mind linking but I can feel the anger coming from Thaddeus.
