Big Bad Alphas novel Chapter 19

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.

I know what I am running towards, the home of my enemy, the vixen who claims to be carrying my mates child. I have lost control of my body and thoughts; they now survive on revenge.

"Isabella!" I hear Eric call after me, but I am already storming up the porch steps at yanking open the front door.

My eyes are stone cold as I fly up the steps. They narrow in on her bedroom door. "Olivia!" I shout as I barge into her room. She is sitting on her bed, and her eyes shoot up to me. "You have gone too far!"

Panic rises on her face, and she runs to a corner, trying to create space between us.

"You're pregnant?" I ask with a vexed tone. "With Eric's baby?"

"I-I-I," she stutters.

I walk up to her, closing her in. "Are you pregnant with my mates child?" This time I slow my voice down, causing her eyes to spill out tears.

"I didn't think Caroline w-was going to go running to you!" She cries.

My gaze turns to the door when Eric comes rushing in. He pulls me away from her, despite my fighting. "Isabella, calm down."

"Don't you touch me!"

He looks up at Olivia, and she slides to the floor. "I didn't think this would happen, I-I just panicked."

"What are you talking about?" Eric questions her sternly while I struggle in his hold.

"I-I told Caroline I was pregnant, and, and..."

"And what?" Eric wrenches it out of her.

"I'm not!"

When I first came to Eric's pack, I was a happy girl who was given a chance to create an even better future. My eyes were bright, shining at the sight of my mate, but tonight, before those two words left Olivia's lips, I could not stand to lay my eyes upon him. Just moments ago we were tangled in an intimate moment, and now he is restraining me from strangling Olivia until her face turns purple. His lips attacked my neck, my toes were scrunching, and now his arms squeeze me tightly.

"I'm sorry!" Olivia cries and covers her red face.

Eric finally lets go of me, and I stumble to the wall. His eyes search for mine, but I look away, wanting to be alone.

"Isabella—"

"No," I interject. "Just, just give me a minute."
