Isla Kalashnikov (P.O.V.)
Alveric started by telling me the true story about Adelina, his husband and me. I stared at him intently as he passionately explained my life story to me. It is crazy to think that I once felt like an outcast when in reality so many people want me to be theirs – sure, for the wrong reasons, but it is only because I hone all of these skills and abilities that they are envious of and would do just about anything to have for themselves.
“Now that I have told you about Adelina. I must explain to you about how you came to be.”
“Are you going to tell me about the birds and the bees? Because I would hate to break it to you…I figured that one on my own years ago.” I cut him off.
He chuckled lightly and shook his head.
“No. While every other supernatural being may have biological parents, I hate to be the one to break it to you, but you do not have biological parents. You
Isla Kalashnikov (P.O.V.)I took a deep breath and sighed out loud as I leaned back on the couch on the couch and allowed myself to digest the information I had just received. That is a lot to digest in just a short space of time, but I told myself that I am stronger than I originally thought. I did not want to show weakness at all. Now that I know I am just looked at and judged, I felt like I needed to overachieve now, and I needed to step up my game. Now that I know all of this information, I kind of regret asking those questions now. I wish I stayed ignorant about it all but for some reason I felt like it would have been near impossible to train if I did not know much about myself. In the beginning I thought I was just a mere hybrid, being that I was made up of both werewolf parts and vampire parts. Which is essentially parts that play a role in life and death. If you were to think about it, a werewolf is one with nature as they are associated with the moo
Isla Kalashnikov (P.O.V.)For some reason, my vampiric side immediately arose. I grabbed ahold of Alveric and flashed us both outside.He looked at me with a stunned look on his face which soon faded to a questioning look.“What is wrong? Why did you do that?”“Edith? Edith Whittaker?”His eyes widened in surprise, and he gasped.“Do you know her? Have you already met her?” he asked me in a hush tone.I shook my head and made eye contact with him.“Is she not the second witch that had been prophesized to kill me?” I inquired further.He nodded his head.“She is working with Dimitri. Their plan was to work separately where he would capture me, while she captured my parents, and they would work
Isla Kalashnikov (P.O.V.)Alveric and I stood outside as we waited for his friend to appear. I was a bit nervous for this entire ordeal to go down because I just had an inkling that things were about to get even worse. There is no chance in delaying war as it will occur inevitably, but right now, I would do just about anything to keep it from happening or at least avoid it.“What did you mean by you could not get rid of Edith? She served her purpose, resurrecting my parents. There is no need for her to be here anymore, is there?” I pushed.Alveric kept his eyes to the floor as he grew increasingly quiet. Well that is not suspicious at all.I thought sarcastically.“To get Edith to help me pull Laila and Orin out of limbo, did not come without a price. Please be mindful that in order to successfully get them, we had to play with death as well as trick it in order to get out of limbo with our souls in tack. To get t
Isla Kalashnikov (P.O.V.)His eyes met mine and he immediately approached me. I could tell his fangs were growing longer with each step he took. When he got closer to me, he bent a little to get to my level before he place his lips near to my ear. It felt odd to have someone this close to my ear and not feel any air escaping from their lungs, but I guess it would make sense that he does not breathe because he is a vampire- his is not alive.“Mine.” He whispered before he sunk his fangs into my neck.I wanted to protest, but the more I fought the urge, the more I felt like my dark side was coming to the surface.“Oh honey, I belong to no one, however, you belong to me. I own you now.” I heard a smooth sultry voice, only to realize it was my own.She is out. My vampire side. My alter ego. My other personality.Suddenly, I found myself grabbing Ambrosius by the neck and flipping us around so that I could
Isla Kalashnikov (P.O.V.)“Okay, so back to our regular program please. Ambrosius, I need you to get rid of Edith.” Alveric ordered and this immediately got Ambrosius’ attention.“Why? What did she do? Are you finally getting the hint that she is very annoying? The girl talks so much and to think she would be around for eternity. That is just not okay.” Ambrosius stated and I felt a pang of jealousy in me as I thought about the possibility that Ambrosius and Edith may have been spending time together. Even if that meant her annoying him, in my messed up head that would only prove to me that they have spent so much time together that he eventually grew weary of her present – enough to not want to be around her anymore.That sort of conclusion does not happen after only being around someone for
Isla Kalashnikov (P.O.V.)Ambrosius, Alveric and I were all outside of the morgue plotting to get rid of Edith. We were all unclear of what we should do to get rid of her without raising any sort of suspicion. What we knew for sure is that she cannot see me whatsoever but the problem with that is that Edith has some kind of power radar. She is the type of witch that gains her power from other powerful entities. This meant that she does not have any power of her own, but instead pulls energy from everything and anything around her, in order to be able practice magic. If Edith were to have any suspicion that I was around, chaos would indefinitely be unavoidable.“What if we just wrap her in a garbage bag and throw her over into the grand canyon with a brick tied to the bag since she is so small because she might just float in midair.” Ambrosius said as he drifted off into his own thoughts, probably thinking about actually throwing Edith into
Dimitri Zane (P.O.V.)I have been sitting in front of Isla’s house for the past five hours, waiting for her to get home but she has not shown up yet. I was growing increasingly impatient, and I could not take the wait any longer. Maybe she got pass me and I did not see because I had fallen asleep at some point during this stake out. Tonight, would be the night that I finally get her into my grasp. I know she was not over at her stupid mate’s house because he was over there entertaining other females. I wonder if I could use that against her. Get her to break down and become weakened and less alert. It is a bit of cheating but to be honest, easy work is successful work and if I can get her to come with me tonight, then my part of the bargain is over with and then it is just for me to wait on Edith to do her part. The plan seems pre
Isla Kalashnikov (P.O.V.)I was at Alessandro’s house now. I was surprised to see a couple lights on in the house, which could only mean that he is still awake. On the way over here, I told myself how strange it is to just show up at his home and stay the night without his knowledge because he would have been asleep. Imagine his surprise, if he were to wake up in the morning, only to see me in my former bedroom fast asleep.I do not know whether that would be scary or funny to witness. In any instance, I still felt weird about he whole ordeal but now I am grateful that he might just be away so now I do not have anything to worry about.I put in the code to the front gate and entered the compound. The security guard has already been acquainted with my existence so there was no need for him to call Alessandro to confirm his knowledge about my presence at the house. Immediately after I parked the car, I felt so tired, that I instantly got out
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
