I winced as rays of the morning sun tickle my eyes awake. When I open them, the first thing I notice is Dimitri missing. Was last night only a dream? I thought, an amazing dream. I get dressed in his long black shirt, which stopped right on my thighs. It felt really so intimate wearing his clothing.I trudged out of the room. Dimitri's safe house was quite bigger than I had realized yesterday. There were countless and of doors that led only god knows where. I finally stumble upon the kitchen, my eyes darts on the topless figure that stood there. Dimitri was preparing breakfast, and by the smell of it, it was good.But something else gets my attention, it was a large tattoo at his back. It was a tattoo of a blue butterfly. My stomach ties into a knot.'Its him?' I thought 'He is the one mom told me about, the man with the butterfly tattoo.' I think back about the dream I had about Dimitri, I remember his words "What you seek is seeking you." This was what it meant, fate was trying to
Isabelle Point of viewWe were welcomed back to the pack by Lance, Gabe and Gemini. Dimitri and Lance headed straight to his office without sparing me a second look. I guess it was fun while it lasted, now I just hope Dimitri won't go back to being the cold alpha I knew. I guess it was delusional for me to think that the moment we had at his glass mansion meant a lot to him."So, Isabelle, tell us everything that happened between you and Alpha Dimitri after he took you away from the club. Where did you guys go? What happened?" Gemini asked me, with curious eyes. She and Gabe seemed to have been waiting on our return to get the gist on everything that happened while we were away. These two were real gossip mongers"Come on Isabelle. Spill it already! I know something happened between you two last night. He even forgot about his planned meeting with the rogues." Gabe's eyes bore into me intently, making my face burn red."See we knew it, you look so guilty. Now say it otherwise I'm not
Dimitri Point of view"Alpha, the lunar eclipse energy can be felt like no other. This will be the last eclipse before the eleventh blood moon, I am afraid of the devastating dark tides it will bring." Celeste told me with the fear dominating in her voice. The lunar eclipse was just two days away and even I could feel its energy calling out to the darkness within, feeding it. It was going to be harder to control Cessair. That was the name that the darkness that I was cursed with preferred to be called."How about the lead we found with the shamans to break the curse?" I asked looking up at Lance, he also had a look of disappointment written all over his face."It was another dead end. Alpha I fear that our only hope is Luna. According to the prophecy she would be our salvation, we have to believe that.""Or our destruction. I say we find another way." Alaric said. I was growing impatient with his loose tongue, he needed to learn to show respect to my mate or I will have to teach him.
Isabelle point of view "MIKAYLA. YENNEFER. YOU TWO ARE NEXT." I watched as Stefanie told the two new rogues to spar against each other.I couldn't sleep at all last night, I didn't even try. The thought of the death threat I got wouldn't let me sleep.'Death is coming for you.'I pondered about those words literally. I know how every assassin I have come across sent by red circle loves to have a dark and mysterious alias name. Could 'Death' be the alias of the assassin that tried to murder me last night?I thought watching Yennefer and Mikayla fight. Mikayla was one of the new rogues, she was a red head with a fiery fighting spirit. I watched as she attacked Yennefer fiercely, to be honest Yennefer wasn't even putting up any fight. She was weak and slow for a wolf, still that didn't take her off the top of my suspect list.Remember how I couldn't sleep last night? Yeah, I was up all night trying to think about who the red circle assassin could be and I concluded with five suspects. T
Isabelle's point of viewWhile everyone at the pack was busy having fun at the bonfire, I was lying in my bed feeling restless.Today didn't go as I planned. I still haven't figured out who the red circle's assassin was and my prime suspect, Yennefer, has been proven innocent by the spell I performed with the help of Dixie. To make today even worse, now Gabe hates me completely. Goddess I just wanted to vanish into thin hair.'Don't be too hard on yourself. You did the right thing and soon enough Gabe will understand why you did what you did.' Brie said. Yeah, I named the voice in my head, you can call me crazy but I had to at least give the little voice in my head a name. Afterall she was the only one that I could talk to now.I heard a knock on my door."Ugh, come in." I groan, too tired to get up and see who it was.The door opened and it was Dimitri. His tall masculine figure entered my room, leaning against the wall behind him, staring at me with creased eyebrows. My entire body
Isabelle's point of viewTHE BEAUTIFUL SOUND OF BIRDS chirping in my ears and the rays of sunlight on my face wake me up. My eyelids flicker before I can fully open my eyes. I see the familiar ceiling of my room, but strangely, the plain white woods look more beautiful now. Everything around me seems and feels more beautiful, because nothing can top what I'm feeling inside.A soft smile touches my lips as my mind flashes back to memories of last night. I turn to face the person who has just made me the happiest girl in the world again, who wrapped me in his embrace before we went to sleep last night."Rise and shine, my little witch." Dimitri rasped, I looked up at him to see his hazel eyes open with a knowing smirk."Morning," I said, placing my head on his broad wide chest. "How long have you been awake?""It's been a while now, but I didn't want to stir you awake." He answered. It was moments like this that I wished could last forever. At moments like this I wished the world could
Third person's Point Of ViewDIMITRI COULD FEEL a pointed piercing deep in his soul, something within him definitely shook awake. Something dark. Something wicked. It was spreading through every vein in his body, tainting his blood with darkness.He struggled hard to contain the demon, Cessair, which threatened to be set free. But his struggles were clearly no match, for the devil within him was far stronger.In a snap, his eyes fluttered open, shining a dangerous, burning red. The flames of hell couldn't compare to the fire that dwelt in his gaze. Cessair let out a thunderous roar from his lips shaking the earth to its core.Dimitri was far gone now, lost in his own consciousness and his Darkside Cessair was completely in control.Cessair wanted to burst free from his bondage but the chains wouldn't yield, it was certain that the binding spell of the witches was working. Tiny rocks within the cave fell, crumbling on the floor as another roar was released in anger.A loud uproar could
Isabelle's Point Of ViewI was beyond restless. My legs couldn't stop pacing back and forth in my room. My mind was agonized by the thoughts of how Dimitri was doing, the lunar eclipse had already begun and up until now there was no news from anyone, everywhere remained silent.I heard a loud roar and howling penetrate through the wall of my chamber. At every painful howl, I felt a deep pain inside, as if something in my chest was being ripped out. I knew that the howls were coming from Dimitri, he had somehow escaped from the cave. His howls sounded so desperate, almost like a broken cry for help. He was in pain, I could feel it.I made a choice to completely disregard the promise I made to Dimitri yesterday morning. I couldn't possibly just sit in my room and do nothing, that wasn't a bloody option. I needed to find him.I stormed out of the pack house and deep into the black night. The moon was overtaken by darkness, giving evil the power to roam free.I headed into the woods, I ga
