Isabella's POV-
When i entered home as quitely as i could by shutting the door,
i turned around to see Marco already leaning against the wall, i gasped a little by seeing him, before i could give any explanation to him, he cuts me off by asking "you were with your mate Alpha Caleb Williums right?!" i frowned in confusion and just nodded in reply, then he muttered "I know you are confused, but there is nothing to be confused about, I am your big brother, i care for you, that's why I always keep informations and updates about you and your mate, and i know very well that you are safe with him, that's why I didn't went outside to search for you when u didn't replied my calls and texts" with this i immediately take out my phone from my back pocket to see that my phone was in silent mode and he was right, there were almost 10 missed calls and 2 texts showing his name Marco Smith, i kept my phone back into my pocket bitting my lower lips as i felt bad for not receiving his calls, so i just shook my head and said "sorry" to him,
he sighed and muttered "its ok Isabella, i am not mad at you" i just want to know one thing from you and you will not try to lie me because i will get to know immediately if you do so, with this he asked me "Have you told Caleb about us, i mean about your real parents, about me, Alpha Darth and Alpha Norman i.e., about your past? and the fact that you are going tommorow with me Amsterdam to see your real parents?!"
by listening him, i sighed deeply by knowing that Marco will not be happy by knowing that i didn't uttered Caleb a single thing about my past-truth, about my real parents and about the two monsters Alpha Darth and Alpha Norman about whom whenever I think, i could only feel anger and disgust for them, by recalling the things which they did to my real mother, specially that bastard Alpha Darth, i just ignored my thoughts and shook my head gesturing Marco as "no",
he facepalmed himself shaking his head in annoyance and protest, he muttered "you should tell your mate Isabella, because Amsterdam is not so safe place for you, and your mate Alpha Caleb can only protect you, if anything bad happens there, as he is having the strongest pack in USA, and the most important thing is that you should not hide your secrets or past from your own mate", i just kept my head down and processed his words in my mind which only makes me feel more guilty, but i couldn't risk Caleb's life for me, as he did so much for me, he is the one who made me realize what does real love feels like, he cared for me so much, i don't want to use him as my protection, i nodded my head and said him "I know Marco what you are trying to say me is right, that i must tell Caleb about all this, but i just don't want to mess his life, and make Caleb worried and stressed about me"
he furrowed his eyebrows, before he could say anything i cut him off by saying again in a pleading tone "please try to understand me brother, its for only one day, nothing will happen to me, you are with me to protect me, and don't worry, no one is going to identify or recognise me, everything will be alright" i saw his expression gets soften for a few seconds, but then again it went back to that cold expression, i inwardly thought that i couldn't succeed in convincing him, but suddenly he spoke up in an elder brotherly tone and authority "ok, you won in convincing me, but you need to be always with me after going to Amsterdam tommorow, and when you will see and meet our parents, you will be immediately leaving Amsterdam with me back to here America"
i inwardly smiled by listening him, and nodded my head in agreement and delight, like a child got permission to eat ice-cream from her parents and hugged him,
he chuckled softly "I missed you Isabella for years and i just want you to be safe and happy because I love you" and hugged me back, by listening him i thought of the days he was alone without a mother, a sister, without a women or girl character in his life, who would comfort him, care him, he became a man in such a less age to do all the Alpha duties alone as to support and help our father, i felt sad, felt like crying again but instead i just mumbled through the hug "i know and i love you too brother"
he kissed my head by patting my back as an elder brother does to his sister when she needs comfort,
after that i gave him a reassuring smile and proceeded towards my room to pack my bag, hoping that everything will be alright....
