Okey guys, I know this chapter was dark, but is necessary to understand what forces are against our Isabella. Let me know your thoughts and don't forget to leave a gem. xoxo
POV. Alec Tassara. She left me talking to myself! This beauty of a woman dared to leave me talking to myself. No one, for as long as I can remember, has dared to turn their back on me and leave me talking alone. This woman will be my downfall. She has just lit a flame that cannot be extinguished. And to be honest, I don’t want it to go out. I see her walking away from me at her own pace, and all I want is to run to her and hug her, beg for forgiveness. What? sorry? Beg? Never! She will be the one who will beg me. She will be the one who implores me to occupy her bed. I head towards the locker room, and I realize that there are no girls left, so Isabella is alone. I ran and showered quickly so that I could wait for her outside to clarify this situation. I won’t tolerate her being this insolent towards a member of royalty. No, she must pay for her insolence. When I’m ready, I hurry out and stand outside the women’s dressing room in the dark, so I can watch her leave without arousing s
POV Isabella Di'Giotanno. I left the locker room, totally affected by what happened with Alec. As I drive my Beetle, I think about how I still can’t believe what he just did. But I think the worst thing about the whole situation is that I let myself get carried away by how Alec made me feel. I liked. I liked his caresses; I liked the contact of his mouth with mine and how he could take me to the limit of sanity. I feel guilty and extremely confused. I feel a sorrow that comes from my chest, and which I cannot stop. Aika howls in my head, getting lost in the sadness we both feel. “Why did Alec act like that, Isa? I don’t understand! I thought he really liked us, and it just turned out he was using us. It’s so frustrating.” “I understand you so much, Aika. I really believed him. How did something that felt so good turn out to be so bad? We should have listened to Eric. He told us to stay away from Alec because nothing good comes from him.” “You’re right Isa. We had to trust our mate.
POV Eric Lafallete. With everything that has happened, I have hardly been able to be with Isabella, so, as you can imagine, my blue balls are the size of a truck. Her birthday party now looks like a distant dream, where we lived happily, with the only concern on our shoulders, was to love and enjoy the moment. In the blink of an eye, I went from being single, to having a mate, to being an orphan, to being alpha, to being the guardian of my little sisters. Containing the pups has been the most difficult thing I have had to do. How the fuck do you tell a twelve-year-old girl that her parents were murdered by rogues? And that the pack house that they knew two weeks ago, there is nothing left? Breaking the news allowed me to cry to my parents. Until that moment, I had not been able to do it. At what time? Why do problems seem to come one after another? Pure storm without rays of sun. Millions of responsibilities on my young and inexperienced shoulders. And if that weren't enough, having
POV Isabella Di'Giotanno. There is only one day left until the Assessment and I can’t handle the tension anymore. I’ve managed not to see Eric or Alec. I stayed away from both, so that I would have a cool head and be able to perform in the test. I know my trial will last for days. I know they will want to put me in various scenarios so that they can visualize and quantify the extent of my power. I know what I should do. Show that I have power, but not the true extent of it. No one really knows, and I prefer it that way, because the one I drive with scares me. I have discovered that, although I miss Eric and Alec very much, I can live perfectly without them both. But I feel like Anouk insists on forcing communication with Aika every day. It’s been hard for them, but Aika agreed with me that, for everyone’s sake, we should wait. We chose Eric. There’s no going back on that. We love him too much to leave him. I have loved him for as long as I can remember and so has Aika, but I know in
POV Isabella Di'Giotanno. I knew exactly what I was doing when I decided to throw that line at him. What I never thought of sawing was the face of sadness and fear when he realized that he really couldn’t live without me. “You’re right, Isabella. I cannot live without you.” My heart skipped a beat, seeing him like that. He is my mate; I love him madly. Goddesses! This shouldn’t be this hard! How can he not understand that if I chose him, it is because I know in my heart that he is the right one for me? I would die for him, and I would die without him. I sigh and say, “I can live without you, Eric.” I tell him this seriously. Then, I approach him and take both of his hands, which are warm, and I feel him tremble at my touch, softening his gaze. “But I don’t want it. I do not want to live without you. We chose each other as mates for all our lives. I love you more than my life. And just like you, these days, without you, have been pure torture...” That’s all I can say when Eric hugs
POV Isabella Di'Giotanno. The last thing I remember is the incredible orgasm I was facing, riding it like waves on the sea before the searing pain in my neck came. The mark. Eric marked me! Damn it! I told him I didn’t want him to mark me yet. Damn alpha! Why the hell do they love to minimize their mates’ desires? Seriously, Moon Triad, there’s something terribly wrong with your design! “Aika! What the hell happened? Have we fainted? or where are we?” The darkness lightens. We find ourselves in a forest. The dawn tells me it is morning, when the first rays of sun escape through the leaves of the tall trees. I watch a white she-wolf, with platinum tips, running in the forest, apparently escaping. I heard loud roars. Aika sits next to me as we watch the scene. I heard the wolfs stops and someone enter speaking behind the trees. “Little kitten, stop running. You can’t escape from me. Remember, you’re mine!” “Never!” the white wolf screams. “Is that what you think? CATCH HER!” I wat
POV Isabella Di'Giotanno. We were meeting in my room (my mother’s room occupied by me), after Eric marked me without my consent. Damn caveman! when we heard screams outside. “LET ME SEE HER! I NEED TO SEE HER NOW! GET OUT OF MY WAY!” “Girl, that’s Alec’s voice,” Aika says worry. The door opens wide as we see Alec rush in. Great, two cavemen! I see him panting heavily and I can see his face of total concern and... fear? “Are you okay?” I open my eyes wide as I say, “Yes, I am.” “I thought that...” “Shh... wait.” I gestured with my finger to him to shut up and not continue talking. Eric looks at us, surprised by the ready proximity we show when talking to each other. Then I said, “Mom, Scott, could you leave us alone, please? I need to talk to both.” “Are you sure, daughter? Once you tell them, there is no turning back.” “I know, mom. It’s what I have to do.” “What’s going on?” Eric asks, visibly irritated. “You’ll already know, Eric.” I said coldly. We stare as both leave t
POV Isabella Di’Giotanno. After much consideration and considering Eric marking me without my consent, Aika and I decided to tell everything we know. I have faith that, together with Eric and Alec, we will arrive at the best solution to this dilemma. Alec told the story of my ancestor. The untold story of Nahir. I swear by the triad that I refuse to let history repeat itself. If I can’t have them both, then I don’t want either. Aika sounds troubled. “Girl, we have another problem...” Shocked, I say, “another one?” “Eric, cum inside...” Aika tells me in a whisper, as if she was afraid that someone would hear us. “What are you talking about?” “Girl! He cum inside? You know!” She makes her face look totally uncomfortable. “Aika, I don’t follow you...” “THAT ERIC PUT HIS SEED INSIDE OUR PUSSY! By the goddesses, you came out hard to understand!” “Shit! You’re right! With everything that has happened, we didn’t even protect ourselves! Aika, we are not in a position to have pups now
Isabella Di’Giotanno. Nine years later. We are gathered in the private gardens of the palace, enjoying a sunny day of picnic. When I saw the twins, Andrew and Edmond ran into the forest. “Eric, go and look for your children... it’s hard for me to move. Help me!” “But babe, you should stay seated. The doctor already told us that this trio would be born any minute.” “Do not remind me of that. For the goddess’s sake! Why did I let myself be convinced to have more children? But no, I never learn. Girl Twins, boy twins and now triplets.” Now I look at Alec and Eric in complete annoyance as I say, “I swear to both of you, I will cut off your balls in protest if you get me pregnant again!” Eric nods, smiling silently as I watch him run after the five-year-olds. Aryan laughs, too, as he rests his head on my lap. My little warrior, who is no longer one, just turned 14. He is a beautiful young man, with his blue eyes, bright and expectant, extremely helpful and tender. His first change
Isabella Di’Giotanno.Six months later…The last few months of our lives have been chaotic. Governing and being pregnant with twins is the hardest thing I have ever done. Aryan is so happy to become a big brother.Sophia and Adair will be in charge of managing the Gentle Dawn pack until Aryan is old enough to take charge.Although we have been able to enjoy our last moments of freedom, the pups already want to go out. Over the past few days, I’ve been having a lot of Braxton Hicks contractions.Scott comes to the royal pack every fortnight to check on me, but he has stayed longer now. Both Eric and Alec only trust him, and they have become more possessive than usual, scaring away any wolves that approach me.“Babe, let me help you. You know well that you can no longer do it alone.”I clench my jaw in annoyance because I can’t even tie my shoelaces. “This is absurd! I can’t even see the tips of my feet!”Eric laughs and I give him a reproachful look. I see how his smile freezes and he
Isabella Di’Giotanno.Once the wedding ceremony is over, I cannot hide the immense happiness I feel. I look at my hand and see my engagement ring and on it, the two wedding rings.We had a brief reception and then the guests moved to the central square of the royal pack to attend the ceremony of ascension to the supreme royal throne.Right now, we are in the palace changing our clothes and going over the words we should say.Eric growls in frustration, as he says, “This is absurd! How come I can’t be able to put on a tie?”Alec laughs and says, “Come here, let me help you.”I sit on the bed, cross my legs, bite my lip as I watch Alec tie his tie. I hang my head to the side, thinking how lucky I am that these two handsome men are completely mine.“Do you like what you see?”“What?” I say, totally lost in my hot thoughts.“Your face, babe, is telling us you want to devour us.”I smile and blush. Alec tells me, “And those rosy cheeks, is telling us it’s true.”I shrug, stand up and walk
Isabella Di’Giotanno.One month after…After the triad revived me, I discovered that I have new gifts. One of them is the ability to see a person’s past.Since my mates had taken the leader of their soldiers and the medical leader into custody, my mates entertained themselves by interrogating them. Oooh! What a beating they gave those two.Thanks to his statements and my new ability, we found out where the new facilities were, which were twenty minutes from the Gentle Down pack.We transferred many of the pregnant women to that pack and the others could decide what they wanted to do. As the rules say, the royal pack cannot accept werewolves as part of its people, because is the only pack for Lycans.Therefore, we moved all adult survivors to the packs of their choosing. Regarding the children, we built a special orphanage, of which I am the primary caretaker.We provide them with education and a home until they are ready to be received by a family who wants to adopt them. Aryan and I
Isabella Di’Giotanno. Still hugging Alec, I refuse to get out of there. My tears fall incessantly as Aika howls uncontrollably in my head. I kiss his forehead and my sobs become more audible. The only thing that can be heard is my uncontrolled crying, as everything around me is completely silent. “My queen, allow us to take away King Alec.” Peter speaks to me, heartbroken like me. I feel footsteps behind me, and the smell tells me it’s the coven. I see movement out of the corner of my eye until I notice they have brought Eric to me and placed next to Alec. Seeing them there so vulnerable, I cry even harder because of the pain I feel in my chest. My soulmates are gone and there is no way to fix it. The damage is already done. My mates have died to save us all. Suddenly, I hear a male moan behind me. I turn around and see Francesco chained by his hands and feet, lying on the floor, trying to get to his knees. My sadness turns into anger, and with a scream I rush towards him. Sonya
Isabella Di'Giotanno.“We are being invaded by the northern border!” “Also, along the eastern border!”I feel like my heart is destroyed. We had already evacuated everyone to the security bunkers, and only the assigned warriors and we remained.“I must go with them!” Without waiting for a response, I ran as fast as I could while Aika forced the change. I feel how our paws come into contact with the earth and we ran at full speed to meet our mates. I’m going north to see Eric.When I arrived at the place, I saw how the rogues destroyed the entrance, and the fight was in front of us. I hide for a few minutes, behind the tree line. The coven arrives a little after me and Sonya tells me, “Here! Put this on.”She handed me a t-shirt and shorts, which I quickly put on. It’s easier to use my powers in human form than as a wolf.“Are you ready, my queen? Once we leave, there is no turning back.”I look at the decay in front of me and tell her, “There was no turning back from the minute Franc
Alec Tassara.Once Aika warned Isabella of the presence of rogues at the borders, Eric and I hurried to go to the named points.Eric ran north, and I ran east. The last thing I saw was how Anouk took control and ran as fast as his legs would allow him.The speed of royal Lycans is compared to the wolves. Since we do not have one to accompany us, the triad blessed us with multiple abilities in our human form.Our Lycan, once they take control, is a ticking time bomb, as it is almost impossible for them to return control of their own volition.Therefore, members of the royal family have always avoided exposure to our second form since it is lethal for everyone.Once I reached the eastern border, I realized that the first explosion was coming from there.The complete border of the royal pack is made up of a concrete wall between 11 and 13 feet high, with an interior made up of steel cables to increase its resistance.At the top, they placed a hemispherical surface so that no one could ho
Isabella Di'Giotanno. Once I finished the call with Eric, I started mobilizing all my people. I instructed General Dubois to take charge of our warriors, giving them the directives for our protection and the pack. Ex- king Constantine has helped us a lot by planning defense and offense in case of attack. The women came immediately to my call, assisting me with everything necessary to wait for the women and children. Scott was also called to come for help and arrived a few minutes ago, positioning himself with the medical team. They will oversee the physical evaluation of all survivors and will plan the measures for their mental evaluation. “My queen, we have already set up all the tents so that the survivors can spend the night.” Nora, the wife of Harry, the gamma of the royal pack, tells me. “Excellent Nora. Thanks for all the help.” “My queen, that’s what we are for, to serve you. It is an honor that you allow us to do it.” I smile gratefully at her, holding her hand. “My queen
Eric Lafallete.Once we understood where the trucks were going, we turned around and headed back towards the human village. When we arrived at the building, we saw that Alec’s team had taken down all the guards in the place. I communicate by a mental link with Alec. “Where are you?”“You have to go down to -5 and see this. We need reinforcements, Eric.”“I’m coming.”I tell my men, “I need you to search all the important documents you can find. Start from the top floor.”“Yes, my king.”I go down with two soldiers, down the stairs to floor -5. As we do so, I remember Aryan calling one floor the aquarium, and I can’t help but feel extremely upset, just looking at this place. We arrive and there I see Alec stop, observing in silence. I can feel, through the bond, a series of emotions. I touch his shoulder, to which he responds by shaking. He places his hand on mine and whispers, “Look.”I follow his gaze and can’t help but hold my breath. Thousands of chills invade me when I see the chi
