Eclipse of Twin Flames CHAPTER 21
Isla's POVAdrian’s towering form blocked my way, our closeness making it difficult for me to concentrate on what he was saying. I saw his lips moving. But that's that. I was trapped between the cold wall and his rigid body. My heart raced, every inch of me on high alert. His piercing eyes bore into mine, sending a shiver down my spine. His hand shot up to grab my chin, tilting my head, so I had no choice but to meet his fierce gaze.“You still haven’t explained where you went that night?" His voice was low, and he was not trying to restrain his anger. "Tell me, whom did you meet?" One of his hands went on to grab my hand holding Elara's belongings and he laughed bitterly. "Who said you have any right to take Elara’s belongings?” He demanded his voice low and threatening.The way he spat her name stung as if, even in death, she held a higher place in his heart than I ever could. The pressure of his grip made my skin tingle with discomfort and something I didn't want to feel. But I r

Isla's POVAfter Adrian released me, I bolted, my chest tight with frustration and confusion. His grip still lingered on my skin, the weight of his accusations pressing down harder than his hands ever could. I couldn’t get his harsh words out of my mind, or the way his gaze seemed to pull me in and push me away at the same time.As soon as I was out of the building, I steadied myself against a wall, breathing heavily to fill the air in my lungs. It had been intense. And for many reasons, I could still feel his presence hovering around me.But that's when I spotted Stefan and Lucas at the exit, waiting for me. I waved my hand at them. As soon as they saw me, they ran towards me.Stefan's brow furrowed the moment he saw me, concern evident in his voice. "What happened? You look like you have seen a ghost."I shook my head, attempting to brush it off, but my pulse was still racing. I gulped hard, forcing the words out. "Nothing. Just... ran into trouble." My voice was tight, a little too

Adrian's POVI felt restless, as if I had no control over myself, as my thoughts kept spiraling back to Isla; the way she tried to blend in, the vulnerability in her eyes, the sparring match, her strength and speed, her knowledge of herbs and then our little encounter in the empty corridor. I never even spent more than a few seconds on her. But the entire day was about her. Only her.I couldn’t stop thinking about her. No matter how hard I tried, her image kept invading my mind. Her assertiveness, her defiance, and her resolve made my chest feel tightened. No. It wasn’t just out of anger. There was something else I refused to name.I ran a hand through my hair, frustrated. This isn't right. I shouldn't be feeling anything for her, not right after the death of the woman I had loved for years. Elara was gone. And Isla? She was just a constant reminder of that loss. I tried to remind myself again that the similarity of their faces was what was confusing me. She was just a shadow of her s

Isla's POVThe air in the woods was thick with tension as I moved quietly through the woods, the night air cool against my skin. My wolf was the one guiding me, alert and curious. There was something strangely familiar about the scent we were following, though it was faint, almost indistinguishable from the earthy smells of the forest."Do you smell that?" I asked my wolf, wondering where I had smelt this before."Yes, keep following it. We are close," she responded, her voice a low growl.I didn’t question her. I trusted her instincts more than my own. My heart raced, and my mind swirled with too many questions, and too many doubts.As I moved closer to the source of the strange scent, something caught my eye: a glass vial half-buried in the grass, shimmering under the moonlight. I bent down, brushing the dirt away with trembling fingers. It was completely used up. But still, the traces of its contents clung to the edges of the vial. Perhaps someone left it in a hurry. Or maybe they

Isla’s POV"Move..." I whispered. Composing myself, I shoved Adrian away and sat up quickly, gasping for air.I could still feel the lingering warmth from Adrian's closeness, clouding my judgment. Damn, mate pull! Even after the subtle distance between us, the tension was still thick.I could still feel his dangerous, thrilling, and utterly confusing eyes fixated on me. For a moment, I had let myself get pulled into it, forgetting everything else, forgetting why I was out here. And he didn't move away either.I took a deep breath, trying to steady myself. I had to focus."You gave me a task, remember? I am here to find clues," I snapped, trying not to show that he had such a powerful effect on me."What about you? Were you following me?" I pressed, wondering why he was in the woods as well.Adrian scoffed, standing on his feet. He ran his fingers over his hair and smirked at me, as if I was delusional even to speak about the possibility of him ever following me."Following you?" The w

Isla’s POVI instinctively tried to look around, my body shivering from fear.Adrian’s grip tightened on my arm, yanking me as he pulled me to the side."Go get the patrol team." He said in a low, commanding voice. "I will guard the scene, meanwhile."I gaped at him, trying to process his words and recover from my daze. Maybe it was the best solution if I walked away from the situation for now.But before I could even flinch, we heard footsteps approaching towards us. Adrian pulled me closer, his protective instinct taking over. "Stay close."Just then, Stefan and Lucas appeared from behind the tree lines, their eyes scanning the scene."That girl... " Lucas stuttered, his eyes widened in shock. But they gauged out when he saw Adrian and me standing so close."Why are you with him?" Stefan asked, rushing beside me, checking if I was okay. "We sensed something was wrong and... Who did that to Betty? Are you alright?"I stepped away from Adrian, making me growl a little. But I felt more

Isla’s POV "Of course, you are not her. You will never be her! But that doesn't mean you don't remind me of her even more!" Adrian spat, running his hands through his hair, his eyes full of love and loss.Adrian’s words cut deep, making my blood boil. I kicked him in the gut and stepped away from him."Then stay away from me!" I shouted, my voice raw with emotion.He just kept looking at me, but I stormed out, not wanting to do anything with him. I should have gone home, where it was safer. But Adrian’s words echoed in my mind, clouding my judgment. I was driven by a need to find the murderer and clear my name. I stormed off into the thick forest again. My heart pounded, every step feeling heavier as the frustration churned inside me.I wasn't sure where exactly I was going, burning with rage. Just then, I nearly crashed into Lucas and Stefan. I stumbled back, startled by their sudden presence."Isla, are you okay?" Lucas asked with genuine concern. His eyes flicked over me as if he

Isla’s POV"Isla, how dare you go against me?" Adrian's mouth rubbed against my neck, as he whispered possessively. The way he pressed me against the wall lovingly and passionately made me squirm."Adrian!" I finally gasped, grabbing his shirt."If you ever defy me, it won't be good!" His fangs graze over my soft skin, sending tingles over my body.I closed my eyes, waiting for him to bite me again.I knew this was a dream. A cruel one. But I couldn't wake up. I had no control over myself as I tossed and turned.And finally, the alarm snoozed, waking me up from my dream, thankfully.I shot up, breathing heavily. I slapped my face, wanting to dissipate the blood that had settled in my cheeks, darkening my blush. How could I dream about something like that? I felt disgusted.I was glad I had made sure to set my alarm, determined not to repeat yesterday’s mistakes. But this came in handy. With this dream, I would surely have failed to make it in time. But now I wasn’t going to give Adria

Eclipse of Twin Flames Chapter 57
Adrian's POVThe air grew heavier as I heard Elara’s request for an engagement. She stood there, with hopeful eyes. But I couldn’t allow her emotions to cloud the reality of the situation. She wanted us to resume from where she left off, but too much had changed. My heart was torn between loyalty to her, my new feelings for Isla, and the growing doubts surrounding her return.When I didn't reply or act with equal excitement immediately as she had hoped, her eyes shimmered with unshed tears. Earlier I would have done anything when she looked at me with those vulnerable eyes, but this time somehow I knew she was trying to tug at the bond we shared. And I felt pressured. But I couldn’t ignore the other, heavier weight in my heart. My feelings for Isla. So, there was no way I could give an immediate response to the commitment she was looking for from me now.I kept my tone measured as I replied, “I will organize a grand celebration for your return, Elara. It’s what you deserve. But as fo
Eclipse of Twin Flames Chapter 56
Isla's POVI stood at the edge of the room, my arms crossed tightly over my chest. I wanted to look away, pretend like it didn't matter to me. Like I was not irritated by their closeness. But watching Elara with Adrian, them so close as nothing had changed, made my blood boil. A wave of discomfort rolled through me as my wolf stirred, her voice calm but firm. "Adrian is not worth the heartache, Isla. Even if he is your mate, we still have the power to refuse him. We are stronger than this."Yet I could not ignore how her hand rested on his arm as she rested her head on his chest. It felt like a punch to my stomach. How could they look so effortlessly comfortable as she leaned into him? With me... it has always been a push and pull of tension bubbling between us."Isla, don't falter. We are stronger than this..." My wolf tried to uplift my spirits.I swallowed hard, focusing on my wolf’s words. She was right. She had to be. Still, the sight of them together cut deeper than I would lik
Eclipse of Twin Flames Chapter 55
Isla's POVI folded my arms across my chest, staring up at Adrian. For some reason, my heartbeat increased when the golden rays of the setting sun fell on his chiseled features, making him even more handsome, as if it were possible somehow. It wasn't the right time or right moment, given everything that had happened recently, to feel these things. Yet somehow, I was even partly happy and partly relieved to see him after a tiring night and a long day.The silence between Adrian and me was heavy, laced with unsaid words and emotions too tangled to unravel. I didn’t know what I expected when I asked him, “What do you want to talk about?”Adrian’s jaw tensed, his dark eyes searching mine as though looking for answers I hadn’t given. I turned away to avoid his eyes that were puzzling me. Then, without warning, he stepped forward and wrapped his arms tightly around me from behind.The warmth of his body pressed against mine sent a jolt through me, and for a moment, I forgot how to breathe.

Eclipse of Twin Flames Chapter 53
Isla's POVI sat across from Ryan, the pale light of the hospital room washing over his tired yet anxious face. His gaze was steady, yet laced with hesitation when I didn't respond to him. How could I? What was I supposed to say? “That night... the night Elara died... Did you shift?” He repeated the question after connecting the dots, his voice quieter than I had ever heard it. The silence stretched between us, sharp and suffocating. My throat felt tight, but I forced the words out. “Yes.” My voice barely rose above a whisper. “I shifted.”For a moment, he was frozen, even shocked. Then he finally broke the eerie silence with his long and heavy breath. But his expression was still etched with regret. “I am sorry, Isla. I let myself believe... I believed those stories.” And then it hit me like a wave. My answer wasn’t what had shocked him; it was the weight of years of mistrust finally surfacing. What he was actually feeling was guilt. A part of him felt sad, but another part felt b
Eclipse of Twin Flames Chapter 52
Isla's POVI carried Ryan to the hospital, my arms trembling from the weight of him and the fear that clawed at my insides. His blood soaked my clothes, each step feeling heavier. I couldn’t lose him—not like this, not after Elara.Once we arrived, the nurses rushed him into emergency care, but I stayed close, not daring to leave his side. I couldn’t afford to. Even though Ryan, like everyone else, had seen me as a curse for a long time, he was still my brother. And at this moment, I could only think of the sweet memories we shared as kids.I paced the waiting room, my thoughts consumed by questions. Why did the people around me keep getting hurt? Why was it always my family? First Elara, now Ryan. Who was behind all of this?By the time my parents arrived, they had already bandaged and sutured Ryan's wound. Their eyes immediately found Ryan, lying pale and motionless on the bed. My mother’s gaze lingered on him before it slowly shifted to me, cold and accusing.“This is your fault, I
Eclipse of Twin Flames Chapter 51
Isla's POVI stormed out of Adrian's office, my heart pounding in my chest. I screamed at the top of my lungs as soon as I was alone, my hands shaking from the argument. Why couldn't I control these gnawing feelings? Why couldn't I stop him from treating me like a toy?By the time I got home, all I wanted was some calm. But that was something too far from my life. Everything has been so overwhelming recently. How could Adrian lower his guard and fall prey to Chloe's manipulations again and again? He didn't ever care to listen to me. I wasn't sure if it was jealousy or helplessness, but I couldn't stop the anger surging inside me. Chloe was really sinister. But the worst part was, despite my irritation, I still couldn’t shake the feel of his touch, the way his hands had ignited every nerve in my body.I slammed the door behind me, frustration coiling in my heart. But then something caught my eye. An envelope was wedged under the door frame. Who could have put it here?I froze.The edge
Eclipse of Twin Flames CHAPTER 50
Isla’s POVI clutched the file where I had documented every single thing that led to the finding of Chloe's involvement. Adrian had to stop trusting her. So, I hurried to his office, hoping to help him figure out the truth and also to stop Chloe. She was dangerous.But as I approached his door, I stopped, noticing the strange smell muffled in the air. My wolf stirred uneasily inside me. "Something is off!"I peeked through the crack in the door and froze.Chloe was draped over Adrian seductively as he sat on his chair. Her hands caressed his shoulders as she whispered something in his ear and then bit it slowly. The sight sent a jolt of rage through me. She was wearing a tight, body-hugging dress, flaunting herself around him, just like before. She then sat on his lap seductively and Adrian didn't stop her. I clenched my fists, fuming. When she was about to get bolder and kiss Adrian, something inside me snapped. My fists clenched as jealousy surged within me, hotter and sharper than
Eclipse of Twin Flames CHAPTER 49
Isla's POV"Isla!" The moment Adrian called out my name, I felt like I was caught in the act. And when our eyes met, the memory of our brief kiss from last night and that from the dream this morning flooded my mind. His lips had felt so real that I could still feel them on mine. My heart skipped."Isla," Adrian called again, snapping me back to reality. I had been completely distracted since Chloe arrived with Adrian. She had been helping him to mark the scores with such grace that it left me and everyone watching confused.He stood across from me, his eyes narrowing. "You are not focused. I will test you myself. Let’s see if you’ve made any progress."My stomach churned. Here we go again. Why was he always so keen to partner up with me for a sparring match? Honestly, I felt like Adrian sparring with me always had an edge to it, like he was trying to prove something."She is going to fall flat and lose.""Serves her right! Traitor!"Opinions about me hadn't changed, and I didn't expec
