Isla Kalashnikov (P.O.V.)
It is about ten in the morning now and we were still training. I was not tired physically, but I was tired emotionally and mentally. This is a result of the constant restraint I had to display toward Stephanie and her friends because they kept trying to test me. You would think that after the last four times I beat their a*s they would have learned their lessons already but no. Every chance that they got they would try to attack me using the element of surprise which really was not a surprise as they all had a war cry, so I knew whenever they were charging at me.
We were just about done with hands-on combat training. Alessandro chose all those who passed his training course successfully to fight tomorrow. Now, he wanted all of us to shift. Regardless of the fact that some were not chosen to fight tomorrow, he still wanted them to shift as well because some people are just better fighters in their wolf form.
I think Step
Alessandro Petrov (P.O.V.) Calling all warriors, return outside to the training ground immediately. I ordered through the pack link. This b*tch is dying today.I watched as she began to walk toward Isla and me. I instinctively got in front of Isla as to shield her from the witch.“I heard that you were planning to visit me tomorrow. How nice of you to be thinking of me. To be quite honest, I was becoming rather lonely in that big castle of mine. I feel special for the consideration, but I thought it would be too much of a long trip, so I came to you.” Adelina said as she stopped a couple of feet away from us.“Go away Adelina, you are not wanted here,” I demanded.“I do not care. Isla can either come with me willingly or forcefully. I am yet again giving you an option. I am so considerate. I do not understand why everyone thinks I am not a nice person!”“Then I gues
Isla Kalashnikov (P.O.V.)“Aww, now would you look at that. Your little boyfriend cannot save you now. If you had listened to me and actually trained to use your powers, then maybe you would not be as helpless as you are right now.” Adelina taunted at me, and I smirked.“Who said anything about being helpless?”I closed my eyes and focused on where I wanted to be. I could feel myself levitating off the floor with Adelina weighing me down. My body grew warm, then hot. Eventually, my skin was scorching which made Adelina let go of me. She fell to the ground with a loud thud.I opened my eyes and stuck my hand out. I visualized the twines that surrounded Adelina, growing in length and strength. Using my ability to move things with the energy and forces that surrounded me, I moved Adelina f
Isla Kalashnikov (P.O.V.)It has been a week since the fight with Adelina. After we defeated her, we burnt the body. I had to go to the supernatural realm to explain what happened to the council. As it turns out, they knew about the prophecy all along. However, due to the events that have been prophesied to happen, they could not interfere with the timeline of things. This meant that they were forced to sacrifice a few of their own for the greater good. When that was dealt with, I was informed that I was welcomed into the supernatural realm at any time and that I had the privilege to request anything that I wanted from the council.I was more than happy with that.Things between Alessandro and I were going well for the most part. Stephanie has not backed off of the idea that he belongs to her, which is rather annoying, but I have started to allow myself to trust him a little bit, so I did not allow Stephanie’s advances to bother me much. S
Alessandro Petrov (P.O.V.)It was about four in the afternoon now and I had just come out of a meeting. I was trying to rush the rest of the paperwork I had to complete for the day so that I can get home early enough to spend some time with Isla. Stephanie still works for me but when she is not trying to seduce me, she spends the majority of her time on her phone. It bothers me to no end that I pay her to do nothing all day, but due to the fact that her father is an honest man, I have not fired her yet.I had a lot of work to finish, and it seemed like I could not catch up on the workload whatsoever. The work that needs to be done would have been a job for my personal assistant, which is Stephanie, but she is as useless as the end piece of a bag of sliced bread. I needed to get some help around here desperately.As I was setting aside the work I decided to put off for tomorrow, my phone rang indicating that I had gotten a message. I checked it t
Stephanie Wilde (P.O.V)When I left Alessandro’s office, I immediately made my way home. I know that his mate is filling his head with a bunch of lies about me. She is turning him against me, and I needed to act fast. I did not have any intentions of using the love potion on Alessandro, but I felt like I had no other choice now. He has completely lost his mind and he can no longer think for himself.I assumed that Alessandro would make his way home any minute now so when I got home, I immediately made my way up to my room and retrieved the love potion. When I got it, I packed some clothes into a bag and ran over to Alessandro’s house. His mate’s car was not in the driveway which meant she was not home. I pulled out a key to the front door which I had copied some months ago, and I made my way to Alessandro’s bedroom.I took off my work attire and searched his room for clean towels. When I found them, I grabbed one and made
Alessandro Petrov (P.O.V.)“WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?” I yelled at her. She woke up startled and immediately stood up on the bed.When she saw it was me, she sighed in relief and laid back down on the bed as to catch herself.“Hey, baby. I was beginning to wonder when you would get home.” Stephanie said and I growled lowly at her.“How did you get into my house, Stephanie?” I asked sternly.“I used the spare key you gave to me silly.”I began to think back to the days when Stephanie would come over a lot as I tried to recall ever giving her the spare key to my house. As I pondered on the past, I could not recall ever giving her a spare key, and then it hit me.“Stephanie, I never had a spare key to my house. How did you get in here and do not lie to me.”Stephanie simply rolled her eyes at me and sunk further onto the bed as she p
Isla Kalashnikov (P.O.V.)I was on my way home now and thought that I would stop by the pack house to check on everyone. We had grown significantly close since the events that took place regarding Adelina. Everyone thought I was a hero for healing their alpha, which was really so farfetched but who was I to deny praise.While at the mall I had gotten a few treats for the children who lived at the pack house. I never knew I could ever like children, but I did, surprisingly. When I got to the house, as soon as I stepped out of my car, all of the kids rushed to my side.“Lunaaaa!!!” they all screamed excitedly.I chuckled and bent down to hug them all.“Hey, lovelies. How are you today?” I asked as I smiled at them all.“Good Luna!” they all replied.“Guess what?” I asked them as I took the bags out of the car.From my peripherals, I could see their mothers looking a
Alessandro Petrov (P.O.V.)Stephanie sat on my bed as I paced back and forth. I could not necessarily throw her out of the pack, her father was my beta and I owed him a lot but the fact that she is willing to go to great lengths to blackmail me so that we could be together is telling me that I should kick her out of the pack indefinitely."Baby? What is wrong?" She asked, getting off of the bed and walking up to me, placing her hand on my bicep."Do not call me that and do not f*cking touch me. I have a mate!" I spat at her."I am so much better than her," Stephanie said rolling her eyes.I snapped again."Do not f*cking talk about her that way. She is your Luna.""What are you going to do to punish me?" She asked, smirking.She rubbed my bicep and began to make her way up to my shoulders, gently massaging them.I growled, thinking about f*cking the attitude out of her again.I pushed her away and
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
