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
POV. Isabella Di’Giotanno. I get up very early in the morning. It’s Assessment Day! The day has finally come when I will have my rank. Of course, saying “the day” is an understatement since I’m sure my tests will last at least five days. In short, it’s less than what I’ve had to wait for all these years. I just hope that, during these days, Eric and Alec behave. It’s so strange to look in the mirror and see my mark. It is cute. Seriously, usually the markings are red and not very pleasant to look at, but mine is a golden crescent moon. It looks like a tattoo. It is beautiful. Now, a question comes to my mind... How will my mark look together with Alec’s? Hmm... that’s something to think about. “Girl, don’t think about that now. We must focus on passing the tests with honors. We are the convergent wolf, the last Di’Giotanno she-wolf. That’s for the history books. Oh girl! We are making history!” “Since when have you been so interested in history? I thought you were a comedian.” “Ha
