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
POV. Isabella Di’Giotanno. After my mates destroyed the energy shield completely, we got in the car and Alec drove at full speed. That Francesco has advanced his move only means one thing: He has spies everywhere we go. “How did Francesco know to move forward with his move?” I asked my mates. “I don’t know, sweetheart. But the most likely is that not only do we have spies, but we also have some places intervened.” I open my eyes wide and say, “With microphones?” Eric takes my hand and caresses it as he tells me, “It’s very likely. All this only confirms to us we should trust no one.” We all nodded silently. After a few minutes, Alec drove without stopping. We reached the outskirts of the royal pack. Aika, scream in my head, “stop, stop!” Without thinking, I shout along with her, “STOP!” Alec looks at me in the rearview mirror and stops dead. I gasp, holding on to the front seats, when Aika speaks to me. I listen to her attentively and worry invades me. I tell my mates, “There’s
POV. Eric Lafallete.We were with the pup until they did all the exams. Once he was calm, he let us wash him and put clean clothes on him. He only allowed himself to be touched if one of the three was in the room. It pleased me when he fell asleep on my chest, listening to my purr. Anouk watched him carefully, as if he wanted to memorize every feature of him.“We must place the alert online so we can find out if he has a family.” Alec snaps me out of my thoughts abruptly. I know what he says is what we should do, but for some reason, the mere thought of separating from him, I don’t like it. I look at Isabella, and her face shows what I’m feeling.“It is necessary? Look at him Alec. I don’t have the heart to be apart from him. Truly, I don’t want to be separated from him!” Isabella tells him, placing a hand on her chest.I sigh and look at Alec’s conflicted face. Even though he tries to hide it, he doesn’t want him to leave either. “Alec’s right, babe. He is too young to decide to be i
POV. Alec Tassara.My mind couldn’t think. I only felt fear. I still can’t believe that we found the little one a couple of hours ago and we already feel like he’s ours. “But he’s ours, Alec. I know he belongs to us, and should I tell you anything else? The little one is special.”“What do you mean, Akil?”“When I spoke with Aika, we both agreed that this little one’s aura matches ours. Our pup was born to be alpha.”“Maybe that’s why we feel so much like he’s ours. What do you think Francesco did to him?”“I do not know, but whatever they did to that little boy has to do with powers. I sense Francesco wanted to wake up his wolf.”I watch in fear at what Akil tells me, which only confirms my greatest fears. I run throughout the hospital following the smell of the little pup, which is distinguished because it smells like a rogue, which makes me angry, desperate to get it back, hug him and make him smell like us.Eric follows close behind me, along with Isabella. None of us wanted to se
Eric Lafallete.After interrogating the woman whose name we discovered was Irina; we headed with Alec to the defense headquarters where General Dubois was waiting for us, accompanied by the rest of the generals and colonels.We enter and observe how the place immediately becomes silent. Everyone looks at us attentively until it is one who breaks the silence. “King Alec, King Eric. It’s a pleasure to have you here. We have many things to discuss.” General Dubois tells us with a serious look.Alec tells him, “Yes, General. We come from the interrogation of one of Francesco’s doctors, Irina Petrovsky. She is a Russian woman, thirty-seven years old, who has been working with him for seventeen years.”“Is she the prisoner who tried to kidnap the found pup?”“That’s right, General Harris,” I reply.“What did the prisoner say?” Colonel Moore asks.Alec and I exchange glances and he is the one who rushes to answer, saying, “She talked a lot after I practiced with her with my new powers.” We ob
Alec Tassara.After the conversation with the generals, we were all ready to leave for the human town after a couple of hours. We stop outside the pack house and see Isabella, running towards us, with Aryan in her arms. They both hugged us tightly.Eric takes our pup in his arms while kissing his head. Isabella places her hands on my neck, as she tells me, “Return safely, loves. Don’t you dare leave me! I will go to hell if necessary to get you back. Come back to us. We will wait for you.”I smile at her words because I know they are one hundred percent true. Isabella would die and travel to hell to fight for us. Without thinking twice, I grab the back of her neck and press her against me, crashing my lips into hers. Our kiss is hungry and passionate, leaving us breathless. I separated myself from her and ended up kissing her forehead.We put our heads together as I say, “I know you’d do that for us, honey. I would never dare to doubt it. You are wonderful and there has not been a day
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
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
