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
POV. Isabella Di’Giotanno. We leave the pack house and outside I see a black Bentley Bacalar parked. I stand still, looking at the car with my mouth open. Alec stops, turns, and says to me. “What is it, dear? Is there something wrong?” “Is this your car?” “Well, yes. Is there anything wrong with it?” “Hum… no, I just didn’t expect to get into such an exclusive car.” “My dear, I am the Supreme Crown Prince. Of course, I’ll drive cars like these. So, get used to it honey, because you will be the next Supreme Queen.” “Hum... Can I regret it?” Alec’s gaze darkens as he tells me. “Not in a million years. You are mine Isabella. I’m just willing to share you with Eric. With no one else. I’ve been waiting for you for decades. I will never let you go.” I smile at him as I say, “It’s okay.” I walk to the car and get in it, while saying. “You must tell me what happened between you two. It’s something I need to know.” “In due time, you will know, dear. I promise you.” “Alright.” The wal
POV Isabella Di´Giotanno. I stand in front of the panel of experts, to which the colonel tells me what my test will be like. He tells me they will inject me with a serum that will allow them to see everything that I hallucinate. He asks me if I agree? I said. “Yes, I am.” “Good.” I watch as a young man about twenty-five years old approaches me and places some electrodes on my chest and forehead and then takes my arm. I try to breathe regularly, so that my nervous and anxious state does not show. He injects me with the serum, and I feel the puncture and the liquid running. Two minutes pass before I stop seeing the panel of experts and the room dissolves. Curious, I look around and shout. “Hello? Is anyone here? Can you hear me?” I hear in the distance... “HELP! Please SOMEONE HELP US!” I ran at full speed through a kind of endless tunnel. I keep hearing that someone is asking me for help. I ran as fast as Aika told me. “Let’s transform!” I let Aika take control, and she transfor
POV. Isabella Di’Giotanno. Am leaving the room, totally stunned. I don’t know what to think... I don´t understand what happened there... All my life I prepared for this test, but nothing they taught me seemed to help me. My training was always physical and theoretical. I never imagined that they would create a mental test that would demand of me a manifestation of all my abilities and gifts. Although what Alec told me makes sense. The test was a mirror. One that reflected what I carry inside my soul, what I will do and how far I can go to protect my loved ones and my people. I continue walking slowly, and I see how the eyes of the applicants who are waiting patiently outside the room rest on my wrist. I hear murmurs around me, like What range is that? Look! It is red... What does the infinity symbol mean? I look at everyone and see a lot of questions on their faces... Hell, there’re the same questions I have in my head too. “Aika, what the hell was that all about?” “Girl, I do not
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
