Isla Kalashnikov (P.O.V.)
Either Adelina is stupid, or she forgot I have the hearing of a werewolf and vampire combined. I sat in my room and listened in as she threatened my parents.
What is her deal? Why does she want me so badly?
Clearly it is not just because she is my biological mother. There is no reason for her to hate on the people who kept me safe all these years while she was absent from my life. There is no reason for her to be this clingy, as I was willing to visit her every chance I got. She is the link to my past and holds the answers about my ancestry and where I came from. I spent all of my life not knowing who I was and all of a sudden, I am learning that I am apart of a prophecy that is crucial to the unity of all things supernatural.
I know what I have to do.
“I will b
Isla Kalashnikov (P.O.V.) I checked my father’s pulse to ensure he still had a heartbeat before I stood up and rushed out the door. I am not sure how to get to the realm as I have only been there once, but I was certain I would figure out a way to get there.I entered the forest and began retracing my steps, though I felt as if I was walking blindly. It was late at night by now, and the forest seemed haunted. I am sure coming out here alone at this hour was not the smartest idea, but I had to speak to Adelina. I have not been taught yet, on how to use my abilities, so I was stuck with my werewolf at the moment and only my vampiric state when I am mad.I was angered but not to the extent that I would need to turn off my humanity to access my vampiric side.I felt as though I was deep in the woods by now because I was unable to make out any nearby cars or people. Just as I continued walking, I heard some leaves rustle, but I paid no
Adelina Kalashnikov (P.O.V.)I waited until Isla was gone and I glared at Laila and Orin. I casted a spell around us so that Isla would not be able to hear the conversation from upstairs.“What were you about to tell her? What do you know?” I asked.“We do not have to tell you anything.” Laila said, stepping behind her husband who got into a fighting stance to defend his wife.“I suggest you start to share your little secrets because I am growing quite weary of this game that you are playing with me. Spit it out.” I grabbed Orin by his throat and lifted him off the ground. I am done beating around the bush with these people.I could tell that Isla would be a while upstairs as I figured she had a lot of things to pack, so I was not worried at all about her walking in and finding her parents being beaten to a pulp.“Tell me what you know now.”“I would rather you kil
Dimitri Zane (P.O.V.)The past few hours that I spent with Isla has been so much fun for me. For once, I was able to go a day without embarrassing her or making her mad at me. I reunited her with her biological mother, and she is beginning to warm up to me. Not only would she probably date me now, but I will be able to have her all to myself for my own use. As I pulled into my driveway and parked the car, I thought about texting her to let her know how much fun I had and to maybe ask her out on a date, but I figured it would be too soon for that, so I did not. I got my house keys out and walked up to my front door to unlock it. As I was about to turn the key to unlock the door, I realized it was already unlocked.Strange.The downside of being a dragon shifter in a town full of humans is that I am unable to protect mysel
Isla Kalashnikov (P.O.V.)I felt depressed. Since I got back to the supernatural realm, I could not sleep or eat. Considering it is almost midnight and my day was really eventful, I am surprised I am not asleep right now. I could not get my mind off my parents, and I know it has not been long since they left, but just the thought of knowing I will not be seeing them again, has got me missing them already.Adelina was already in bed. When we got back to the realm, we decided that I would put away my things in the morning as it was already late. Before going to bed, Adelina stated that she wanted to ensure no one would break into the palace to try to get to me so she placed guards outside my bedroom door. To be honest, I think she placed them there to ensure I did not run away. She is not wrong.Now that my parents are gone, and we have no idea where they are, there is no use in me staying here anymore, but I figured that I may as well just give t
Dimitri Zane (P.O.V.) I was freaking out as I thought about the possible reasons why Isla’s room was empty, and her parents were missing. I visited her home to see what was going on so that I can assess the situation myself since I did not trust anything that spewed out of her mate’s mouth.When I got to her house, Adelina’s scent was everywhere downstairs. I went up to her bedroom to find all of her drawers open and her things were gone. There were no signs of struggle, but as I went back downstairs, I noticed that there were scratches on the floor. I knelt to take a closer look at the floor. The scratches looked like someone was dragged and it made me wonder.Is everything okay? Where are her parents?She did not sound distraught through text, so I did not think that something happened to her parents but what if something did happen after she left home.I had to get to the bottom of this. There is no way I can
Dimitri Zane (P.O.V.)When I got to the realm, I immediately made my way to the palace. On my way there I saw Adelina.“ADELINA,” I called out loudly.Adelina turned around and rolled her eyes when she saw me. Choosing to ignore that I just called out to her, she turned the knob on her front door and was about to open it regardless.“WAIT UP.” I ran up to her and just as she was about to shut the door in my face, I stopped it with my foot and barged in, pushing her to the side.“Where is Isla?” I asked sternly.“She is in the shower. She will be down in a minute for breakfast. What do you want Dimitri?” She asked in annoyance.“What did you do to her? Where are her parents?”“I did not do anything to h
Dimitri Zane (P.O.V.) I am okay. I was wondering if I could have my job back. You have proven to be not as bad as you were before, so I would like to give it another shot. That is if you would have me. I read the message Isla sent and smile. I wonder how many drugs she had to take to gain the courage to send this.I chuckled at the thought of Isla chugging bottles of alcohol and doing tons of drugs just to send a risky message. I pondered on the evil thought of letting her wait longer for a response to build the suspense.I was on my way to the office now either way so she would have to wait. When I got there, I parked the car and made my way to my office.I picked up my phone and typed a response.Sure. When would you like to start? I sent the message. Today I have decided to dedicate my free time to find out more about Adelina. There is little to know about her since she is a rather sneaky and p
Adelina Kalashnikov (P.O.V.)As soon as Isla left the house, I changed into socially acceptable attire and teleported to her house. If she wanted freedom, she could have it, but I did not say I would not keep tabs on her every move.I watched as she got into the garage then drove out of the driveway a couple of seconds after.When Dimitri decided to involve himself in my business, I made sure to do my homework on him and I had an idea of where his firm was located. I teleported to the firm and stood in an area where I could not be seen. I masked my scent to prevent Isla from being able to sniff me out.I had a feeling it would take her a while to get here, so I walked around the building and made a note of all the cameras around the building. It was a big building after all, and I could not be too careful.Dimitri Zane (P.O.V.)Fortunately for me, the meeting I had today got canceled so I returned to my office
Hunter(P.O.V.)When we finally reach the Clan, it was already past midnight. The journey was peaceful; my mate had fallen asleep on my back. My mom has also remained unconscious, but the soft breaths I heard on the way confirmed that she is been sleeping. Dad mind linked everyone to stay inside, saying that we retrieved their Queen, but she is sleeping so they can see her after she wakes up. I see Theo and Liam get out of the house to help us with our mates.The rest of the guys leave to their respective houses, seeing that everything's fine now. Theo helps get Skye off my back, so I can shift, while Liam helps mom. Dad shifts and we carry our mates inside. Skye wakes up in my arms with a start, gasping in shock when she sees me. I feel her body tense, as she glances around the hallway."Shh, little mate, you are okay. I am taking you to my room so you can rest. Well, after we get you clean." I smile lovingly at her, not showing her how pi
TRIGGER WARNING: THIS CHAPTER MENTIONS R**E AND IN**ST. PLEASE DO NOT READ IF YOU ARE UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THE SUBJECT!!!!Hunter(P.O.V.)Witha thundering growl my dad jumps on the boulders blocking the entranceand starts digging them out with his paws. He is desperate to get to hismate and soon the other guys join him.I glance at the unconsciousgirl in my arms then carefully carry her away from the mayhem.Theamount of bruises on her body is concerning, but the only thing thatcatches my dark side's attention is the smell of male's seed coming from herbody. I notice a trail of dried white substance on her thighs,confirming my fears. The blood between her legs tells me she was forced.I will kill the fucker who did this to her.I carefully lay mymate by the tree then take my shirt off and put it on her. She is onlywrapped
Skye (P.O.V.)No, not again. Please God no.I am so tired and fed up of going through this. How can a father do this to their own child?It is disgusting.I never understood why some people would willingly have children only to mistreat them later on in life. In my opinion, it takes a different type of person to do something like this to their own flesh and blood. To the persons who have justified my father's actions in the past by telling me that he was depressed and how much he missed my mother, go fuck yourself. People lose their loved ones all the time. Not because I may look like my mother means that I am her or gives him any right to violate me.He is a disgusting man, and he deserves to die. I really hope he does.And I know it is said that you should not wish bad upon others or wish death upon others because karma will get you, but I do not care. At least if I die, I will not have to endure this lifelong pain and suf
Trigger Warning: This chapter mentions r*pe and inc*st.Skye(P.O.V.)I tried to separate my mind from what was actually happening to me in this very moment. I tried to zone out like usually would on any other given day. When it happened the first time, I was traumatized. When it happened the second time I was furious...but when it continued to happen after time and time again of trying to escape, I knew that this would simply become my new life. I was no longer sad, or depressed. I was no longer traumatized - okay maybe this is the definition of trauma but I felt numb.I was finally numb to the pain and betrayal I felt all this time but what was so different this time.As much as I wanted to not be able to think or feel, I could no longer control it. Is my brain really trying to get me to confront my problems now?If so, then it really has some messed up timing.Of all the things I should b
Twenty years later….Hunter (P.O.V.)"Hunter!"I feel fingers poking my cheek, but I try to ignore them.If that mystery person knows what is good for them, then they would not be trying to wake me up from my very relaxing slumber. As I tried to ignore the intruder from waking me up, I squeezed my eyes shut and tried to drift back into the dream I was just having. It was fresh in my mind and though the very sweet slumber that I was having felt nearby, as the little nuisance continued to bother me, I could feel it drifting further away from me.Great, now I am about to be grumpy for the rest of the day. I wanted to wake up fully to push the assailant away and maybe lock my goddamn bedroom door which I really thought I did do last night, but I know that if I force my tiresome body off this bed right now, I will be forced to actually murder someone today and I
Isla Kalashnikov (P.O.V.)I do not know what I was expecting but it was not this. Things were really bad at the clan and I could have sensed it when as soon as I got to the borderline and I think everyone felt it. The air felt tense and quiet and as soon as we got to Ambrosius's land I can feel everyone's stress and worry.Call it motherly instincts I guess.I sort of felt bad for them. Though, the situation was kind of disappointing. Ambrosius should have put his clan first. After all, he would not have great strength and power without them or their loyalty to him. However, that was not the case. He neglected his duties as an alpha and instead of thinking about the clan's needs, he got selfish and simply found a Queen replacement. A clan does not need a Queen unless she is capable of uplifting the alpha and the clan. Had he thought about this and the needs of his people, he would not have taken that skank in.What is even worse is that s
Isla Kalashnikov (P.O.V.)I do not think that I can completely hide the fact that the thought of seeing Ambrosius again is making my heart race a million miles per minute. Since I left the clan and vowed to never go back since everything had happened, I got busy and never gave Ambrosius a second thought. I kept my mind on building a clan of my own and finding something secure and stable for myself. Something that I can call my own.Something that could not be taken away from me without a fight. A lot of fighting.But now as I prepare myself and his son to return to his clan for a visit, I could not help but think about how things could have been different. Had I not left the clan, how would have my life turned out.I mean I left and made a name for myself. I got stronger than ever and even built a family of my own. Loyal friends turned to family.I guess this is another case of 'everything happening for a reason.'I needed t
Shane (P.O.V.)It has been five years since our Queen left the clan and I can honestly say that it is like she left with the heart of it. The clan has never been the same since she left and it had everything to do with the alpha. Our leader, nature's chosen leader, has fallen since that God awful day Queen walked out on us. The clan felt betrayed to some point when she left because it was like watching a mother figure give up on you and even though we knew it had something to do with what the Alpha did, despite the fact that it angered all of us, we kind of had no choice but to side with him regardless.That is unless we wanted to choose to go rogue and then join her clan of Deads. Which is something that we will never do of course. Part of being in a clan is being loyal no matter what. In instances where the alpha of that clan does not respect their clan members, practices a dictatorship type of leadership, or promotes fear instead of respect for obed
Five years later...Isla Kalashnikov (P.O.V.)I think that I have been doing well on my own since I left Ambrosius. Or at least that is what I have trained myself to believe, I do not need him or the Clan. I have been alone all of my life. Betrayal, loneliness, and pain is all I know, and it has become something that I have accepted. It is a part of me. It made me the strong woman that I am today. So much so that I now give orders instead of taking them and following them.This is nothing new.It was bound to happen eventually you know. This is who I am. This is what I had been trained all of those years to become.A Queen.A monster.How could anyone love someone like me. At this point it is kind of impossible. At least that is how I feel. It is how I
