Isabelle Point Of View My heart pounded heavily as I could feel him on me. I was left utterly speechless, noticing him drifting closer to me. His fingers rummage softly on my lips sending waves of shiver down my entire skin. I have never felt this type of feeling before, ever.Everything about him was enticing. I wanted so desperately to run my hands through his hair but I withheld myself. Suddenly I felt his entire body begin to vibrate against mine. He quickly slipped over to the edge of the bed, his back was against me. He was tense and I could feel it.something was wrong. His breaths were loud enough. I could hear muffled growls escaping from his throat. It was as if he was having a serious fight. A fight within himself.Fear took its heels. "Dimitri, are you okay?" I asked, hoping with all my heart that he was.His voice breathless when he managed to say. "I need Lance, help me call him. Please." I stood up about to make my way to the door, I heard another growl. it should have
The wind was restless and so was I, as I paced around in my already tidy room, I guess someone took the liberty to clean the mess that Rubi made before I returned. I had given a great thought about what I planned to do. And no, I didn't like the idea of leaving too but I knew I had to, everyone here has been really kind to me. I couldn't repay them by putting all their lives in danger with my mere presence. I already knew what I had to do, I needed to leave, for everyone's sake. With my bracelet destroyed, it was only a matter of what monster would get to me first. just impossible. They were planning on hosting a bonfire party, Gemini told me it was more of a traditional thing that happened every month and there would be lots of visitors around. I could use that as a distraction to escape.I heard a knock on my door, interrupting my sprinting thoughts. "Come in." I responded."Hey, Natalie," Dixie said, sticking her head in, her face had a bright smile. Dixie was Alexa's twin sister.
Dimitri's point of viewI was busy attending to the numerous Alpha's that attended the occasion. Currently I was speaking with the Alpha of the Rock mountain pack and the other hundred guests from packs across the continent. We mostly spoke about forging future alliances and pack businesses, well every conversation was boring to say the least. Right now all I could think about was seeing Isabelle and that too in the perfect blue dress I chose out for her.'Yes, where is mate?' Luca was jumping in excitement. He wouldn't stop urging me to go look for her.'We will see her soon, so relax." I retorted at Luca mentally. Lately Isabelle was basically everything I thought about. She was a great mystery to me, a mystery I needed to unravel. I heard Gabe call out to me from behind."Alpha," Gabe said, as he approached me accompanied by Dixie, one of the siphon twin witches. They were Seth's adopted kids, their mother was a great witch and a friend of the pack. She died right after giving birt
Isabelle's perspectiveIris and I managed to buy tickets on a ship to get out of here to Birmingham. From there we planned on getting on a flight. Maybe along the way I can find an occult and get some items that I could use to restore my bracelet. Hopefully we don't run into any monsters."And you remember Isaac? The cops said they found his dead body. They said he was dead weeks ago so they are investigating a case of impersonation. Only if they knew that it was a shapeshifter that took his form. They wouldn't even believe that." Iris finished filling me in on everything that basically happened when I was away, while we waited for our ship to finally depart."So it's your turn. Tell me all that happened while you were kidnapped? And don't forget about the hot guy, Dimitri Castellan." She grinned, she was overly interested in knowing about every single detail about my kidnappers, ever since I mentioned to her it was the same hot guy I bumped into at coffee bay."I wouldn't technicall
In my dream the sky is blue, the birds sing and there is a bee on a clover nearby. The streams run clear and there are fishes in the river. There are beautiful blue butterflies everywhere, fluttering their little wings peacefully.I was there sitting on the soft dewy grass and in front of me two sandwiches, a pie, and a glass tea kettle full of tea was placed on a blanket.'Am I dead?' I thought to myself. This place looked too good to be true.I notice that I am wearing a thin white sleeveless dress but that's not the most surprising thing.Next to me is Dimitri, he is wearing a black fitted t-shirt and black jeans and his hair was styled in a quiff. The sun shines down on his beautifully tanned skin, a butterfly sits at the tip of his finger. I watch as he looks down at me with his long lashes fanning his cheeks.I watch as he pours himself a cup of tea and takes a small sip.As if knowing that I was busy staring at him, he catches my eyes and before I can turn away a grin spreads a
Dimitri's point of viewI was seated in a conference room among the round table of the council, surrounded by Alpha's who were furiously letting out their frustrations. They were too preoccupied in their argument. Everyone was speaking out of turn, trying to voice their own opinion. Others spoke against the next person, hoping to wedge in that their opinion was more worthy for their ears. The high ranked men occupying the hall were called upon for this emergency meeting that was important to us all. It was a matter that affected all Alpha's seated here."Enough." Valor pounded his fist on the table, silencing the entire room. He was a gray haired man and the supreme overlord, elected by the council. I remember him when I was little as a good friend of my father "We have all gathered here to discuss a pressing matter affecting us all but instead all of you decide to argue like little kids. Something is happening that hasn't happened before, we are being attacked.""My pack lost countle
Isabella's point of viewIT'S BEEN NO DOUBT a joyous day, one of the best I have had in a long time. I had breakfast with Gabe, Lance, Alexa, Dixie and Iris. I would have loved it if Dimitri was around. After breakfast, Gemini gave me and Iris a proper tour around the pack. She told me stories and showed me places in the pack and we went downhill. She showed me to a small area filled with numerous houses where the werewolves stay. It was behind a road that goes left, and I saw a clear veiw of a creek that has a bridge over it. There are so many houses, and some buildings look to be like dorms, all resident areas for werewolves. I don't even know how many acres of land this could be. Like 200?She also showed me to the pack's witches coven located in a cave near the ancestral cemetery. Gem said that so many great and powerful pack wolves and witches were buried there, and that wasn't a big surprise because you could feel a very strong magical energy emanating around there, it had a very
Isabelle point of viewI was up with the sunrise, prepared to join in today with the pack during their usual morning training that kicks off by seven. My leg seemed to be healing like magic so I was in perfect condition to train. I really needed to go for a run and to exercise.I quickly got into the bathroom and brushed my teeth then I got dressed in an ash crop top and gray sweatpants."Morning belle." I spotted Gabe downstairs in the kitchen, preparing a sandwich that simply looked delectable "Morning Gabe." I quickly stretched and took one of the finished sandwiches to eat."Hey, that was mine." He groaned while I laughed."Sorry. I was very hungry." I said."It's fine. But why are you up so early? It's just nine minutes past seven and you could still be in bed, I know I would if I had a choice." He said, as we both took bites out of our sandwiches."Yeah, I wanted to join the training with the pack today. My leg's already healed up. See." I showed him how much better I had alrea
Epilogue Third person point of viewSylvester's urgent calls sliced through the silent halls of the Volkari vampire coven's palace like the swish of a blade through the air. With each step, he could feel the weight of the news he carried growing heavier, this news was very huge and unsettling to their plans. Sylvester knew for sure that his master, the vampire king, would not be pleased with this, and that made a knot of anxiety in his chest. The towering doors to the throne room quivered and groaned under the force of his push, announcing his presence with a thunderous echo that reverberated through the vast expanse of the chamber. "Sire! Sire! Sire!" Sylvester called, his eyes wide with urgency and fear.He stopped in front of Konstantine, his master and King of the vampires, sinking into a low, groveling bow that communicated the gravity of the situation.Konstantine remained unmoved where he sat on his throne, his black robes billowing around him like the wings of a raven. He fi
Isabella's Point Of View."Come back to me, Isabella," I heard a familiar voice plead, echoing through my mind as I sat amidst my family and coven, about to embark on a ritual that would link my powers with theirs. My brows furrowed, and a perplexed frown tugged at the corners of my lips."Mom, did you hear that?" I asked, turning to my mom."I heard someone calling my name," I pressed, my gaze darting from one coven member to the next. "It sounded urgent, almost desperate. Are you sure you didn't hear anything?""Hear what dear?" My mother responded with a face stiff smile and an uneasy silence fell over the room. She exchanged a knowing glance with my father, and I felt a chill slither down my spine."You need to fight this Isabella! You are stronger than this Darkness." The familiar voice said again. The desperation in the voice, as if the speaker were fighting for my very survival, stoked a deep-seated sense of unease within me. A throbbing ache began to pulse in my chest, a tende
Isabella's Point Of ViewI awaken in a strange room. The decor looked eerily familiar, it was a small and simple room, with pink and white paintings on the wall. My eyes reached the little fireplace, that's when I discovered where I was.'This is my room!' I thought to myself.This is my room when I was a little girl, at the Black Rose coven. What the hell was I doing here?I look at the door which was pushed open, allowing in Diego. It was Diego but was a bit different from what I had in my memory of him. For example his white frost hair was gone and replaced with a brown color he had as a kid and he wasn't putting on his usual dark clothes like I had remembered of him, he was wearing bright colors."What the hell Isabella Rosa Santacruz? Are you fucking kidding me right now? Everyone is waiting for you downstairs and you are lying in bed…" he uttered. I quickly got out of bed, stepping closer to him."What happened to your hair?" I ask, attempting to touch his hair, he moves out of
Isabella's Point Of ViewTHE NIGHT CAME rather too quickly, and I was all dressed in a beautiful dress for Dimitri's ascension ceremony. I stood in a crimson red dress that was picked out specially by Dimitri, and I must say he had a good taste. It was a flawless long gown, with a thigh high slit by the side. It clung nicely to my skin, accentuating my every curve and showing just the right amount of cleavage which I loved. I could tell Dimitri put a lot of thought into picking it.It was already time and the ascension ceremony had begun. Everything was already set in place, gentle bands played soft music, while the gathered guests mingled and chattered, everything was perfect.I could feel tingles dance on my skin, instantly I was enveloped by a warmth all around me.It was my mate.I felt his sweet and feathery kisses trail down my neck, as his arms circled tight around my waist, I bit on my lower lip, trying to fight back the moan that was threatening to escape from my lips."Blood
Isabella's Point Of ViewToday was going to be a good day!The sun radiated brightly and the weather was beautiful, everything was almost peaceful for once-- well almost. There was still a lot to be wary of, including the reoccurring dreams that had been haunting me whenever I closed my eyes. The visions of Dimitri getting killed by me wouldn't let me be, they kept intruding in my thoughts every now and then. No matter how hard I tried to forget about it, it lingered.Honestly I didn't know what to make about these visions or who to tell so I kept it to myself for now. It wasn't the right time to bring up something as insane as that, I knew I would never hurt my Dimitri, I loved him too much and would rather see myself get hurt. For now we had an event to plan.It has been three days since the Alphas came by to ask for Dimitri to ascend the command as Supreme king Alpha of the wolves. The pack was in a joyous mood as everyone was getting everything ready for the coronation ceremony th
Isabella's Point Of ViewWE ALL RETURNED back to the pack, welcomed with a feast to celebrate the pack's freedom from the curse that has held us down for decades. I personally was thankful that my friends were still alive. I was overjoyed when Dimitri had told me that they were all still alive; Stefanie, Kael, Gemini, Dixie… Iris. They were all fine and survived the Blackblood pack raid. Before I fell unconscious I had watched them all die before my eyes, but they were all fine, all of them healed and they had a lot to thank me for. I wasn't aware that I was powerful enough to cast a spell of that magnitude, a kind of magic performed on a wide scale like that was incredibly rare and almost impossible, but I did it.There was still a lot about being the chosen one that I needed to fully learn about. I needed to know everything about being the moon goddess chosen one. I needed to be aware about all the things I was capable of doing as the Gifted one. I had to test the limits to the po
Isabella's point of viewDIMITRI'S THUNDEROUS GROWL shook the earth, bloodlust weighing heavily in his eyes sending fear into the heart of our enemies around.Rafael looked ahead, his eyes gnawing at the fearsome sight before him. His face turned ghost pale. He was right to be afraid, anyone who valued his very own life would. Dimitri didn't seem like his usual self, he seemed out of control, bloodthirsty... unhinged, and an unhinged Dimitri wasn't one you would wish to trifle with. I knew Dimitri always struggled to keep his bloodthirst under control but now he was embracing it.Aside from the murderous desire in his eyes, he was shifted in between his lycan form and human form, it was like he only gave partial control to his wolf which was even much scarier because he was in complete control of the chaos he brought.Dimitri glared at Rafael who currently had his filthy hands on me. Dimitri vibrated as his eyes were fixed on where Rafael's hands were touching. There was only one thou
Isabella's Point Of ViewI WAS STUCK PACING around in my room for what felt like an eternity. I was incredibly anxious because the Blood Moon was tonight, I could feel its growing power all around, this could be felt by every witch, giving them unthinkable powers. I could feel the power but I couldn't harness it because my magic was binded by the runes on my wrist.I needed to get to Dimitri, if we don't break the curse tonight then everyone in the Blood Moon pack dies. Gabe, Lance, Gemini, Iris and Dimitri. Everyone I cared about will be engulfed by flames and reduced to ash. I'm sure the curse magic has already begun to take effect. Some of the pack will be sick and won't be able to shift, this curse needs to be broken tonight.I felt frustrated.My only hope was in the words of a demon which doesn't really mean much since they are natural deceitful tricksters but I had no other option here. I needed to put all my hopes in Memphis and him delivering my message.Ugh! This was incredi
Dimitri's Point Of ViewMY GROWLS VIBRATED through the earth crust as I tore through another wolf from the Nok pack, splitting him into two equal halves. I was covered from head to toe in blood, standing in a puddle of the blood of wolves working with Rafael. I was going berserker without my mate, I needed to get her back or I swear I was going to fucking kill everyone breathing.It's been only two days since my mate was taken, but for me it feels like an eternity being without my mate, every second without her felt like torture to my mind. Not knowing what that bastard was doing to her at this very moment kept me furibund. Saying I was going crazy was merely an understatement to describe what was happening to me. I was out of my darn mind without the little witch.I knew that swine Rafael, he was capable of a lot of despicable things, and knowing fully well what he was capable of made me even more uneasy, I would die if he laid his disgusting fingers on my little witch.I have tried
