Noah Knight. He is next in line for his father's alpha thorne of the dark moon pack. After his mother's death, he has become immune to any kind of emotion or feelings. His father always told him-
"A good alpha always cares about his Pack's people's feelings. And symptom of a good alpha is he never steps into the trap of emotions. The only person you will have your feelings for is your mate. But never show the outside world how much you love her. Or they will use it as your weaknesses."
And following his every words, he prepared himself that way.
People have heart in left side of their chest. But he has stone. It's nothing but a emotionless stone heart. And he was proud of it.
But his stone heart was also flooded with emotions for someone special and swept away in the flow of some unexpected moments.
" If two people are meant to be together, then they will eventually find their way back into each other's arm, no matter what."

Isabella's POV
"
Bella, come here and help me unpack this box." Mom shouted from downstairs.
" Coming, mom."
" There you go! The last box down, mom." I said as I sat on the couch with sweat all over my body.
" Finally this unpacking is over. I can't believe it took us two days to unpack all this. " Mom said breathlessly.
" Mom, at what time daddy is coming home?"I asked as I gulped down the water of the glass which was placed on the wooden table near the couch.
" Sweetheart, he told me that he has some work in his office so it will be late. Don't wait for him. Now go and take rest. I will call you when dinner is ready. " Mom said as she went to the kitchen.
I followed her from behind and asked" And, mom c-can I ask you something?"
" Anything, sweetheart."
" Umm....can I.....go-o out and visit around t-the town?" I asked despite knowing the answer.
" Bella I have told you numerous times that you are not allowed to go out on full moon. You can go out anytime on any day but full moon. "
" Oh ok."I said in dejection before heading towards my room.
Since my childhood, I have been told to stay at home on full moon. I have tried to ask my parents the reason but they always answered ' Bella, it's not the right time to tell you. We will tell you when the time is right.' And I suppose the right time hasn't come yet. But it's okay, I'm ready to wait till they are ready.

Closing my bedroom door behind me, I stood beside the window. The outside view of my bedroom is breathtaking with a garden welcoming me with various kinds of flowers. I can never get enough of this view. It helps me to forget the demons of my past for some time. Though it's a short amount of time, it soothes me. I don't know for how long I was standing there with a smile on my face but, I was brought back into reality by mom's shouting, " ISABELLA! How many times did I tell you to close the curtains on full moon? " Mom said immediately closing the curtains.
" Mom, I- I am sorry."
Mom sighs and said," Sweetheart, we love you and always want the best for you. We have never forbided you to do something except going out and closing all curtains, windows and doors on full moon. And don't be sorry. I should be the one sorry due to my harshness. "
" No no n-no. It's okay. I forgot to close the curtains. Actually the view was so beautiful that I was just captivated by it. "
" That's okay, sweetheart. Now let's go and eat our dinner. " She said as I nod.
After dinner
" So are you excited for your first day at school, Bella? " mom said excitement visible in her voice.
" Very."
" Okay, good. I want you to forget what happened in the past and start a new life here, okay?"
" But that memory still haunts me. I think I c-can't run away from it though h-how much I want to and t-try to-" mom cut me off by saying, " Bella, relax. It will require time. Time will heal everything. Don't worry. Now I want you to go to bed so that you can wake up early to prepare for your first day." I nod as an answer and immediately start walking towards my bedroom.
Time will heal everything, right?
Time doesn't heal wounds, it just makes them old enough that you get used to the pain.
