POV Prince Alec Tassara. I walk through the corridor and watch as Peter, our beta, comes out of my father's office with a worried face. I stop him and say, “What's going on? Your face tells me that there are serious problems.” He sighs, then replies, “Go in and talk to your father. It's about Isabella.” As soon as I hear Isabella's name mentioned, I feel my heart race and a feeling of deep concern wash over me. I rush into my father's office, where I find him sitting, lost in his thoughts. Whatever he's thinking definitely has him anxious, as I watch a crinkle form between his eyes. I clear my throat as I say, “Father, what is happening?” My father echoes as he says, “Rogues.” I frown. Then I ask, “How? Where? What happened?” He speaks with an icy voice saying, “They attacked the Gentle Dawn Pack when they were celebrating Isabella's birthday. There are twenty pack members dead.” I raise an eyebrow and ask coldly, “And the rogues?” My father answers dryly, “Dead.” I try to h
POV Isabella Di'Giotanno. The last thing I remember was that we were falling after it felt like a million punches in the stomach. Rogues. The rogues invaded my pack. I look around me, and I only see darkness. “Aika! Where are you? Aika comes on. It's not funny. Stop hiding from me. Where we are? Aika!” I scream without response. Only the constant echo of my words resonates within an endless empty space. Then I hear, “Isabella?” I quietly reply, “Who is it?” I hear a soft and distant voice. And this is how I observe how all the images of my life pass through my eyes in a second. Then I watch the images fade as if I were watching an old television. Silence... Deafening silence... Seconds seem like minutes, and minutes seem like hours. The image slowly returns, lighting up, and I appear in a place where everything is white. I blink many times so that my eyes get used to the light. It is a spacious room. “Isabella, what are you doing here? You shouldn't be here!!!” I listen to the
POV Isabella Di´Giotanno. Artemis tells me we should visit her sisters. She takes my hand while with the other she tightly grips her book. She closes her eyes while reciting some words that seem to be witchcraft. "Aderfí, aderfí se kaló kai se epikaloúmai, stop me sto vasíleió sou, áse me na bo sto vasíleio tis selinis." I watch as everything around us shines with a white light. A strong breeze seems to lift us as everything starts to spin. “Hold on tight!” she yells at me. I look at her, lost, while I say, “What?” And so it is that I feel as if we are being sucked into time and space. All took just a second. We arrive, and she yells, “Ouch!! Stop squeezing my hand, Isabella!” I opened my eyes and let go of her hand. I perceive doors of substantial magnitude, towering above three meters in height, exposed themselves before us. On them are carved images of wolves and Lycans. I look around with my mouth open, totally surprised, as I ask, “Is this Selene's realm?” Artemis nods hap
POV. Isabella Di´Giotanno.We hold hands, Artemis, Aika and I as we listen to recite, “Aderfí, aderfí se kaló kai se epikaloúmai, stop me sto vasíleió sou, use me na bo sto vasíleio tis Ekátis.” I frown, while I said, “what the hell does that mean, Artemis?” Artemis smiles amused as she answers me, “The exact translation would be, Sister, sister, I call your name and I invoke you. Take me to your kingdom. Let me enter to the Hecate’s Realm.” I nod and ask, “And what language is it supposed to be?” She giggles and says, “Greek! Of course!”The journey to Hecate’s realm was faster than the previous one. We arrive at a dark colonial-type house, which has a large entrance and can be read: “Be careful whoever enters these doors, because their soul will be trapped in this kingdom forever.” Aika stops and said, “Damn girl! I don’t know about you, but I won’t go in there. Nope, no fucking way.” I watch as Aika sits on the ground, not wanting to be moved from that place, and then adds, “He
POV Isabella Di´Giotanno.I swallow hard the lump in my throat as I reply, “Aika, this is bad... This is terrible! How the hell are we going to wake up? Is there any way to communicate with someone in the triad?”She worried answers me, “I don’t know, I’ve never tried.” I respond sarcastically, “Well, don’t you think it’s time to try it?” She raises an eyebrow as she responds to me in annoyance, “Fine! stop your horses!! Take a change back, for Goddess’s sake!!” I hold my breath, feeling that someone is touching me. “Aika!! Someone is holding our hand! Aika!! I feel like they’re stroking us.” Aika, angry at the whole situation, yells at me, “Do you want me to communicate with the triad or to listen to you? Because I still haven’t learned to walk and eat gum at the same time!” I frown, worried. I tell her, “Damn, but what a bad temper you have today, girl!” She sighs and says, “Sorry, but today I have no patience. They separated us from our mate, they killed his parents, many peop
POV Isabella Di´Giotanno.Once I woke up, Eric sent for everyone who appeared at the same time: mom, Sophia and Marcos. My friends told me how fascinating it was to see my wolf kill all the rogues at the same time. Marcos said that he would write an action book, with me as the main character, and that he was very sure it would be a bestseller. I laughed a lot at his occurrences.Sophia informed me about the challenging nature of the pack house reconstruction and forest reforestation. Eric concluded we were all in mourning this week, resulting in the suspension of classes. That was comforting to her not having to prepare her English homework. I feel like homework and school are like a distant dream.Mom told me what the investigation turned up, about who was behind the attacks: none other than the Abernathy family. I never believed that Juliette was capable of something like this. After the attack, her family disappeared without a trace. When Mom went with the warriors to the house, it
POV Isabella Di´Giotanno. Just like I expected, Eric smelled Prince Alec’s scent on my hand and nearly went berserk. I knew he was possessive, but truth be told, I saw him totally blinded by jealousy. He continually repeated that he would not take me away, that this time he would not lose and that he could not do whatever he wanted, just because he was a prince. I tried not to laugh at the situation, because it would only make Eric angrier than he already was. Although, if I look at it coldly, the prince can do whatever he wants, and the consequences would not be as disastrous as if an ordinary wolf did them. What the hell happened between those two? Eric has never wanted to tell me. The time I asked him, he evaded the question. Only with a good hot kissing session did his anger vanish. It took all my willpower to keep from being alone with both of them. I’ve been staying in my mom’s room at night because I know if I spend the night with Eric, he’ll mark me. The prince’s presence i
POV Isabella Di´Giotanno. Damn! But how fast is he? I can’t believe he’s had me training SO hard for the last two hours. I already said their quality of training intrigued me so much, but I take it back to what I said! These people are insane! He threw me he hit me and as if that weren’t enough, he made fun of me! It is obvious that Aika and I find it difficult to attack in wolf form because she came into my life almost two weeks ago, and one of them I was in a coma. Prince Alec says I shouldn’t rely on my gifts since they are only half of my assets. I must be able to defend myself in human form, as a wolf, and ultimately use my gifts. Sounds just like Eric. Brilliant! Fucking alphas! When we shifted into wolf form, he stayed in his human form. He explained to me he cannot transform into his Lycan unless it is strictly necessary. A three-meter-tall beast inside the oval is not a good idea! Despite that, I am very curious to know what he is like, to listen to him or to know if he ha
