POV. Eric Lafallete. We knew this day would come, but none of us expected it to be so soon. When Alec realized Isabella was feverish, I felt my blood run cold. I understood immediately that her heat had arrived. We got into the car and while Alec took care of her, placing cold compresses on her body, I drove at full speed. For the first time, I can sense everything about her, since, in this state, she cannot block us. Thankfully, we could prevent her scent from being detected almost the entire trip to the royal pack. “Alec, her scent… I’m so unfocused. I don’t know if we can reach the royal pack and if that weren’t enough, she doesn’t block us. I’m feeling everything about her, and I don’t know if it’s my aroused or Isabella’s.” A moan coming from Isabella’s lips leaves us puzzled. “Oh shit. I have such a painful boner, Eric.” I look at him in the rearview mirror and I can see the internal struggle that Alec is having. I also carry out my fight, trying to keep Anouk under the line
POV. Isabella Di’Giotanno.I woke up with a severe headache. I do not know where I am. There isn't a single part of my body that isn't experiencing pain. I look at the ceiling and only a faint light escapes through the curtains. I look to my right and see Eric sleeping on his stomach with his arm around my waist. I glance to the left and observe Alec peacefully asleep on his back, his head facing my direction, while he holds onto my resting leg. I untangle myself from his grasp and sit on the bed. I rub my eyes and smell the air. The room smells like a brothel: blood, sex and fluids. What the fuck happened? I wonder.Alec answers me. “Your heat. That’s what happened.” He sits on the bed, looks around and says. “Shit. We have destroyed everything.” Then he looks at me and says. “But in our defense, you asked for it.” I frown and ask him. “What exactly did I ask for?” He offers me his perfect smile as he tells me. “Look at your body and look at ours.” I start to look at my arms and I ca
POV. Isabella Di’Giotanno.After having breakfast and resting for a couple of hours, I already feel better. At least I can use my legs again. I will never make fun of that saying again, since my mates could leave me unable to walk. Alec snaps me out of my thoughts, saying. “Are you ready, dear?”“Yes, I am. Tell me again, where is the coven?” Alec takes my hand as we walk down the long hallway where the bedroom is located. While we do so, I watch as the servants and palace guards make bows by telling us. “Your highnesses.” I turn my attention to Alec. “The coven is about thirty minutes from the southern border of the pack. It is a quiet and very well guarded place. The witches of that coven are elemental and clairvoyant. Therefore, it is not wise at all to get into a fight with them. Usually, they remain neutral in any international conflict. And if I think about it, it seems extremely strange to me that your father spent time with them, and that they asked to talk to you.”I nod at h
POV. Isabella Di’Giotanno.Confused by Sonya’s statements, I ask her, “to whom he lie?” She sighs melancholy, as she says, “Your highness, there are truths that are too terrible to be told. I’ll just tell you we are united by a common enemy, and that is your father. Francesco did a lot of damage to this coven, and we have not stopped until we found his whereabouts.” I nod at her words and say, “Are you aware that everyone thinks he is here? The military intelligence of the royal pack was led to believe that.”She seems to think for a moment and then responds, “I am not surprised, your highness.” She scratches the bridge of her nose, sighs, and says, “Francesco stole the powers of one of us. He did it using a relic from our mother. This has allowed him to get us into trouble, since every crime he commits makes it look like we committed it. The entire coven has been in lockdown because of that. We know it’s our only alibi.”Alec tells me via mental link, “She’s telling the truth, dear. Y
POV. Isabella Di’Giotanno.I was absolutely furious. I can’t conceive of my mates practicing with other women. They are mine, only mine! I breathe heavily. Aika roars in my head, totally pissed off that they’re both with them. Sonya looks at me and a smile appears at the corner of her lips. She approaches me and says, “Seriously, my queen, you are a curious creature.” I frown, annoyed, as I say, “Why do you say that?” She raises an eyebrow and says, “because you are literally the most powerful creature in this world, with the ability to choose any mate you want and here you are. Dying of jealousy for those two men.”Then she adds, “lose care my queen. I assure you that none of my sisters would look at your highnesses with different eyes. Although for you, I’m not sure.” That catches my attention. “What do you mean?” Her smile grows wide as she says, “Power calls to power, my queen, and you are the most powerful woman in our existence. Don’t be surprised if you are noticed and desired
POV. Isabella Di’Giotanno.After our incredible night, I learned that one reason I chose them as my mates is because they make me feel safe and that safety has to do with how strong they are. Dominance leads to preservation of the species, and I loved every second of them dominating me.We got up at dawn and headed to the river. Before we begin our training, I tell them, “I have something to tell you.” Everyone stops and looks at me carefully. “Yesterday, when we were training, Artemis came to visit me. Among the things we talked about, she told me one that we should take into consideration.” I see Alec frown, but it’s Eric who asks me, “What did she say to you?”“She told me I had four days to learn everything I could learn from the coven, but before that deadline is up, I must be inside the royal pack. It is of utmost importance for everyone’s future, as Francesco will make his next move.” Sonya widens her eyes and says, “Are you sure, my queen?”“I’m just repeating what Artemis tol
POV. Isabella Di’Giotanno. “Your nose is bleeding, my queen,” Sonya says, alarmed by what she is seeing. I go blank, wondering why I’m bleeding, when I feel Alec is almost on top of me with a tissue wiping my nose. “We must stop training, Sonya. He’s trying too hard. If you continue like this, you may become cognitively lost. That’s something I’m not willing to find out.” “Me neither.” Then Eric turns his attention to me, saying, “Babe, you need to rest. It’s been a lot for today. You just learned how to handle two elements on the same day. It takes most mortals years to learn and perfect.” They both talk to me, absolutely worried about me. I perceive many emotions at the same time through the bond. I smile faintly at them so I can assuage their concern, but to no avail. I’m just as worried as they are. I nod silently and they take me to our room so I can rest. “I will call the royal pack doctor to run some tests and examine you.” A worried Alec speaks while Eric nods silently. A
POV. Alec Tassara. Once I received the call from Boyle, my chest couldn’t hold any more with excitement. Eric, who is more aware of my mood swings than Isabella, speaks to me by mental link, “What did the doctor tell you?” I smile at him and say, “I was right, Eric. She is pregnant.” I see how he smiles and covers his face with emotion. “Let’s tell her.” We stopped practicing, and both headed towards our powerful and temperamental mate. I hear Sonya rave about how agile she is, to which I can’t help but point out that I’ve always told her that. I take a deep breath. Without hiding my smile and my enormous happiness, I take her hands and say, “Boyle called. You’re pregnant, sweetheart.” I watch as she remains silent. I feel, through the bond, like a whirlwind of emotions flood her and she unconsciously places a hand on her belly. She smiles at me as a tear falls down her cheek and, in a whisper, she says, “Am I pregnant? It’s true?” Eric hugs her from behind, placing his hands on
