Isla Kalashnikov (P.O.V.)
I was awoken by a piercing pain in my chest. I gasped as I opened my eyes and held onto my chest for my dear life.
I saw it. I saw everything.
I looked at Adeline with tears in my eyes and I engulfed her in a tight hug.
This is truly a dream come true.
“I cannot believe it. I found you mum.” I hugged her even tighter and cried into her shoulder.
I was probably going to get snot everywhere but, in this moment, I could not care less.
“Same here sweetheart. Let us celebrate, shall we?”
“What do you have in mind?”
“That is a surprise. Why don’t I organize a room for you in the palace and get you some clothes for the surprise?”
“That would be great.”
She got up from the couch and walked over to another fairy and gave her instructions on what to do. I am assuming.
I felt bad that I was not missing m
Dimitri Zane (P.O.V.)“I would like the power of necromancy.” I said, smirking at Adelina.I know she would have been grateful to me for returning her daughter, although it was not intentional and totally coincidental but that does not matter. She has her daughter now because of me and I plan to take advantage of the situation.“Now, Lord Dimitri, you know I cannot grant that sort of request. Dark magic is not for everyone, and it will never be for everyone. I am sorry but I cannot grant that request. Is there anything else you would like?”I huffed in annoyance. What was the point of asking me what I want if you do not wish to actually grant me anything that I want? What she does not know is that she just sealed the fate of her daughter. If she is not willing to grant me the power of necromancy, then I would just have to harness it out of Isla.“You know what? I will just let you have this. I am happy
Dimitri Zane (P.O.V.) I was pulled into a conversation and was so engrossed in pretending to listen that I did not notice when Isla left the room. I looked around and saw Adelina was gone as well. I did not want to go into hyperactive mode and overthink the possible scenarios that could be playing out right now, so I kept my cool and got off the couch before I walked outside to see what was going on.When I got outside, I looked left and right for them but could not see them in the immediate distance, so I decided to start walking in hopes that I would find them eventually.I approached a cliff like area, that overlooked the forest below and gave a perfect view of the moon and the stars. In the distance I saw two figures sitting on the ledge. It could be Adelina and Isla.I walked closer to the figures but be
Isla Kalashnikov (P.O.V.)Dimitri and I were almost at my house by now and the silence between us was deafening. I could not stop thinking about how much has happened within twenty-four hours and the day has not even ended yet. I could not decide what I was going to tell my foster parents and how I was even going to break the news. It saddened me to think that I will be leaving them for a parent that was absent all my life when they have been more than generous to me, when they did not have to be.It was not Adelina’s fault that she was absent my entire life, but I am just taking note that I am not their biological child, yet they chose to spend all of their time, effort, and money on me growing up. I did have a couple questions for my foster parents, and I could not wait because I anticipated their response so much.“How are you truly feeling about everything?” Dimitri asked.I sighed heavily.“Honestly, wh
Isla Kalashnikov (P.O.V.) “I am sorry honey, but I do not do well with disrespect, especially when it comes from a commoner who is trying to claim something that does not belong to her.” I handed my mother off to my father and the walked to the couch where my father comforted my mother. “Adelina, what are you doing here?” “I just came to ensure you got home safe and I see that you did. These must be your foster parents. Do you mind introducing me to them?” “I mind. Now leave.” “Is that any way to speak to your mother?” “You are not my mother, she is.” I said and I pointed to my mother who sat on the couch sobbing. “I am your biological mother.” “You are nothing to me. Get out!” I screamed at her and slammed the door in her face. I turned around to go over to my parents to ensure they were alright, when I bumped into a figure. It was Adelina. Of course. “You need t
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
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
