Isla’s POV

The knot in my stomach twisted tighter as the end of class approached, each tick of the clock sending a shiver down my spine. The thought of meeting Adrian alone after class was choking my insides. And yet I knew I had to.

The irony was I didn’t trust him. But I couldn't separate myself from him either. How could I? Our every other interaction flicked between contempt and obsession.

As soon as the bell rang, I took a deep breath. Even though this morning I had decided not to let him toy with me, I was walking right into his trap again.

I was walking absent-mindedly when Lucas caught the shift in my demeanor. "Isla, are you okay?" He asked, snapping me out of my daze. His eyes were sharp, filled with concern.

"Yeah, I am fine," I replied nonchalantly.

He wasn’t convinced but didn’t press further. "You know you can come to me if you need help. With anything," he added, his voice genuine.

I nodded, appreciating his concern, but knowing this was something I had to face on my ow

    Adrian's POVWatching Isla smile at Lucas ignited irrational anger, jealousy eating at me from the inside out."Why the hell has she never smiled at me like that?" The thought gnawed at me, fueling the fire inside my heart. I didn't know why, but I couldn’t stand it, seeing her warm up to someone else so easily, while I stood on the sidelines.I clenched my fists, calling her over restlessly. She ignored me at first, which only made it worse. When she finally turned, her defiance was clear in every step, every breath. She was deliberately testing my patience.Later, when I was waiting for her to meet after the class at the designated spot, she came late. And I could feel the smell of that new guy lingering over her. My blood boiled. He had just come into my pack unannounced and had become friends with Isla already. Why was she trusting him so much and not me?"Keep your distance from Lucas," I snapped, the words coming out harsher than I intended. Her eyebrows shot up in surprise befo

    Isla’s POVThe shadow...I knew immediately that it was the same shadow from last night. That strange smell was too sharp and distinct for me to make a mistake. And what shocked me was that it was the same scent I had been experimenting with a while ago. Nightspire Bloom.My heart pounded with the discovery.Just then, the shadow moved away with great speed.What was it doing outside my window? What does it want from me? I had to find out and perhaps this was my best chance.Without thinking much, I jumped out of my window, something I was too used to as I sneaked out often. I chased behind the scent, with sheer determination."Don't be reckless," my wolf warned, her voice sharp in my mind. "You might be running right into their trap! We must alert others. It could be dangerous." She tried to reason with me.But indeed, I was reckless and overwhelmed with my determination not to lose it again."I can’t let go of this opportunity!" I shot back through the bond. "I need to find answers

    Adrian's POVI poured water on my face again, wiping my face clean again. But it failed to wipe out the kiss from my memory.My mind kept replaying the kiss with Isla the moment I got back to my room in the pack house from the back mountains. It wasn't planned, nor was it a proper kiss. It was needy, rough, and urgent, as if I was possessed by someone. But it was me and my jealousy. The guilt from it gnawed at me.But underneath that, guilt was something far more unsettling. Desire. An attraction. Some weird feelings.I wanted to kiss her again, and this time, I wanted to savor her soft, plump, luscious lips. I wanted this kiss to be gentler and meaningful, and even affectionate."Admit it! You have fallen for her," my wolf said, its voice echoing in my head. "The mate bond is irresistible.""Shut up," I growled back. "I haven’t fallen for anyone. Elara just died, and you think I fell for Isla?""Keep telling yourself that," my wolf scoffed."I am just confused. They look the same," I

    Isla's POV Lucas was gravely injured because of me. And it made my heart twist with guilt. He winced slightly as he shifted, trying to sit up, but when he noticed my expression, he forced a smile. "Isla!" a familiar voice thundered, making me snap. Adrian was here. I hadn’t noticed him at first, but there he was. When did he arrive? And how much had he seen? My breathing hitched, as I gulped hard nervously. But his eyes narrowed, darkening in anger. "Stay away from Lucas," Adrian's words echoed in my mind, and I stood up immediately, distancing myself from Lucas instinctively.How long had Adrian been watching us from a distance?His eyes locked with mine, intense, as if he were trying to read every thought in my head.That's when I heard a soft groan from Lucas, now standing beside me in a protective stance, his hands pressed against his wound. I felt guilty. Why did I react like that when I saw Adrian? I should be here for Lucas. He was my friend. He was my savior. He was in thi

    Isla's POVI rushed to Adrian’s side, tearing a strip of cloth from my shirt to wrap around his leg. Blood soaked through the makeshift bandage immediately, but I had to do something. I had already given away my only medicine to Lucas.I could feel his eyes on me the whole time, watching me closely. I didn’t dare to meet his gaze."Why did you rush like that?" I muttered, "Why didn’t you wait for backup?"He groaned as I wrapped his leg. "Didn’t think I would need it."I shot him a glare. "Well, clearly not considering..." But before I could finish, Adrian’s hand grabbed mine, stopping me."Why were you out here with Lucas at night?" His voice was sharp, barely containing his anger. His eyes burned into mine, demanding an answer.I stiffened, trying to pull my hand free. But his grip only tightened. "I wasn’t with him. I was chasing the shadow," I replied, frustration rising.His gaze didn’t soften. "So how was Lucas with you? Do you think I am stupid, Isla?"I shot him a look. "Mayb

    Isla's POVI quivered under his piercing gaze, her heart pounding as fear intertwined with confusion. My voice trembled as I finally confessed, but not entirely, “I… I accidentally discovered I could transform.” The words hung in the air, heavy and uncertain.Adrian's eyes darkened with frustration, his patience slipping away. "Lies! Still lies!"“I am not lying to you, Adrian. You are just too consumed by your jealousy to see the truth,” I whispered, trying to avert his gaze, but my voice lacked the conviction I needed.He didn't concede. Without warning, he cornered me, his grip firm yet not cruel. Tingles spiraled through my body, making my breath hitch. He towered over me, leaning closer. The shock of it left me breathless. But what came next made my body tense in ways I didn’t understand.Adrian's breath brushed against my ear, sending goosebumps as I bit my lip. He chuckled, his voice low and possessive as he whispered, “Then you must know by now… I am your mate.”His words stru

    Isla’s POVI pressed my palm over my face, avoiding the sun's rays, shifting slightly on the rough floor of the cabin. I woke up in a daze, rubbing my eyes. I realized I wasn't in my room. I blinked, my heart racing as the memories of last night crashed over me. I blushed, feeling flustered."What have I done?" I contemplated in my mind, gulping hard, covering myself with the thin tattered shirt lying next to me.Adrian’s bite still tingled in my ear. The mate bond had taken over, pulling us together despite everything. I looked around and saw his tall frame leaning against the cabin door, his back to me, rigid and distant. Any warmth that the bond might have brought was quickly snuffed out when I saw his denial and frustration.The silence was deafening, making me even more nervous. I opened my mouth, but I couldn't quite figure out what to say. But before I could formulate any sentence, his cold, emotionless voice cut through the silence.“I won’t publicly acknowledge you as my mate

    Adrian’s POVI couldn’t tear my eyes away from her.I kept telling myself that my desire was just a sick twist of fate. I only wanted her because she reminded me of my lost love, my Elara. But seeing her with Lucas, seeing how easily she trusted him, brought out something darker inside me. She wasn’t supposed to look at anyone else like that. She was supposed to be mine. Only mine.And last night? Last night changed everything for me.The night had taken on a life of its own. One moment, I had control. I had convinced myself that she was nothing more than a shadow of Elara. And the next moment, the mate bond had ripped that control away, leaving nothing but raw, undeniable need.Isla wasn’t Elara. And I knew it better than anyone else. The feelings I had for her were extreme and surreal, something I had never experienced before. And it was, in many ways, fulfilling. Because she was mine.The way her skin had felt against mine, how her soft gasps had matched my own... Damn it, it was m

    Isla's POVThe world around us stilled, the chaos of the Stone Pack fading as I opened my eyes. We were no longer in the bloodied hall but in the heart of a dense, ancient forest. The air was cool and crisp, carrying the faint scent of pine and wildflowers. Silver moonlight filtered through the towering trees, casting an ethereal glow on the ground.Adrian lay motionless in my arms, his skin pale, his breathing shallow. My heart twisted painfully at the sight of him like this. He was so close to slipping away.“No, no, no,” I whispered, my voice trembling. “Adrian, you can’t leave me. Not like this.”As tears spilled down my cheeks, a voice deep within me stirred. But his breathing grew weaker, his body colder.A low, mournful howl rose in my chest, and my wolf’s voice echoed in my mind, strong and resolute. "You are more than what you think, Isla. The power to save him is within you. But it comes at a cost.""What cost?" I choked, desperation clawing at my throat."Everything."Befor

    Isla's POVAdrian lay limp in my arms, his breath shallow and strained. His blood soaked into my white gown, and my trembling hands couldn’t stop the warmth from slipping away from his body. He was barely awake, and I couldn't help but keep jerking him to keep him awake.“Adrian…” I whispered, my voice cracking as tears streamed down my cheeks. “Stay with me. Please, stay with me.”His once-brilliant twinkling eyes flickered weakly, breaking something inside me. His gaze focused on me for a fleeting moment as he forced a goodbye smile.“I-Isla…” he murmured, his voice a broken whisper. But his grip on my hand was faltering, his warmth fading.This time when he called me Isla... something stirred inside me. At that moment, everything came rushing back, as if a dam had burst and memories came flooding in, overwhelming my senses.I remembered the cliff.The way Elara, no, my twin, had pushed me with a malicious smile on her face. I knew she never liked me. But we were still sisters. I ne

    Isla's POVStefan let out a sharp laugh, his smirk taunting, as he eyed Adrian with nothing but contempt.“You have some nerve, waltzing into my territory, sabotaging my wedding, disrespecting my bride, and demanding what isn't yours,” Stefan mocked, his voice dripping with arrogance. "This is Stone Pack’s territory, Adrian. And you? You’re just a trespasser. Did you think I would just let you take her?”With a single flick of his wrist, a squad of guards stepped forward, forming a strong barrier between Adrian and me. Their golden brown eyes gleamed as they shifted slightly, their claws elongating, ready to strike.A few of his own men stepped beside him, growling lowly, their muscles tensed as if ready to completely shift at a moment’s notice. The tension was suffocating. The guests were frozen, uncertain of whether to stay or run.Adrian didn’t flinch. I knew that look in his eyes. They were blazing with determination, fury, an unshakable will. His stance was unyielding, muscles ta

    Isla's POVThe corner of Stefan’s lips curled as he met my gaze. “Nothing has changed.”He said it so effortlessly. But I felt the lie beneath them like a blade pressed against my throat. For a second I wondered if he was the same boy with whom I grew up, the one who had always been by my side, who had laughed with me and cried with me. It was as if those memories had never existed at all.I wanted to believe him. I wanted to reach out and grasp onto something familiar, something that could anchor me in the storm of confusion and pain swirling inside me. But I knew better.Everything had changed.This wasn’t the Stefan I had known. He was gone. This man before me was different: colder, obsessed, and dangerous. His eyes did not give the same vibe of affection but were filled with something I could barely recognize.Hatred. My heart ached, not just for what had been taken from me, but for him too. For the part of him that had been lost to whatever darkness had consumed him.And now, he

    Isla's POVAs I crushed the herbs I had been secretly gathering since my captivity with my trembling hands, my heart pounded with anticipation. I mixed them carefully, crafting the sleeping draught. Every step felt perilous, but desperation sharpened my focus. I needed to escape. Now or never.When the maid came over, I threw the powder substance in her face, taking her by surprise. She soon fell unconscious, confirming the effectiveness. I seized the opportunity, grabbing the keys from her. Something primal stirred within me, urging caution.Sliding into the hallways, I pressed myself against the cold walls, my breath shallow. The air was heavy with tension as I tried to move past the guards without getting caught. Every footstep was deliberate, measured. Freedom was just ahead. I could almost feel the night air beckoning me like a promise waiting outside the large wooden door in front of me.But fate, as cruel as ever, had other plans.“Stop her!”The guards’ shouts tore through the

    Stefan’s POVThe flickering torchlight in the cavernous chamber made the shadows dance eerily on the stone walls. “She’s still resistant,” I admitted, my tone laced with frustration. “Even after all this time, she won’t submit. She’s regaining her memory, and it’s making her defiant.”Marcus tilted his head, his lips curling into a faint, sinister smile. “Ah, but resistance is merely a symptom of a will unbroken. This will help.”As I paced along the room, the weight of my plan pressing heavily on my mind. Tomorrow, everything will fall into place. Isla would become mine in name and bond, and Adrian... Adrian would meet the end he deserved.The memory of my exile still burned in my chest, a constant reminder of the humiliation Adrian had caused me. He had taken everything away from me. My status, my pack, my pride. Even Isla. My parents died for the Black Mountain pack and in return all I got was suffering. Now, I would take everything away from him. Once he is dead, the pack will st

    Adrian’s POVThe tent was stifling, even if it was a cold morning. My fists clenched at my sides, the crumpled wedding invitation lying discarded on the table, a cruel reminder that everything was going awfully according to his plan. The thought of Isla, trapped and manipulated, was a rage I couldn’t contain. "I am going to kill Stefan. How dare he think that he can marry Isla in front of me!" I growled, my voice low and dangerous. “Adrian,” Ryan began cautiously, his voice full of reasoning, “you need to think this through. Stefan is not just inviting you out of arrogance or showing you that he was the one who finally had Isla. This invitation... it’s a bait. He wants you to come. He has probably already planned for every move you might make.”I spun to face him, my chest heaving with restrained fury. “I don’t care if it’s a trap,” I snapped. “I won’t let him marry her. I won’t let him use Isla like some pawn.”“And if she’s there willingly?” Ryan’s question sliced through me, but

    Adrian's POVI stood before the map laid out on the table, my fists clenched as my eyes scanned the enemy’s positions. The weight of the situation bore heavily on my shoulders. I should have felt proud to lead such capable warriors. But all I felt was the gnawing ache of loss. Isla’s face haunted me... her wide, confused eyes, the way her voice shook when she told me she didn’t remember me.But I remembered her. Every detail. Every moment.Isla was still trapped in the Stone Pack, surrounded by lies and danger. But most importantly, she was being manipulated by Stefan. I couldn't believe someone could stoop as low as Stefan to win over a woman they claim to love. I would never do that.“You are not thinking straight,” Ryan’s voice interrupted my thoughts.I turned to him sharply. “I am thinking clearly enough to know we can’t sit here while Stefan keeps her under his thumb.” I clenched my fists, my resolve growing stronger. "I will bring her back. No matter what.”Ryan stepped closer,
