Eclipse of Twin Flames CHAPTER 38
Isla's POVI was on my way to the hospital when I passed by a flower shop. I looked outside and felt like getting a bouquet for Lucas. With this, my visit would look a little less selfish. As soon as I stepped inside, I spotted a familiar figure near the back of the store. Chloe moved gracefully through the shop. But before I could call out to her, she moved upstairs."Chlo…" I was about to follow when the shop owner appeared beside me with a warm smile.“The lovely young lady looking for something special today?" she asked, a little too generously. I wasn't used to being addressed like that.I hesitated, glancing toward the staircase where Chloe had vanished. “Just a bouquet of... carnations?" I replied, still distracted. “That was Chloe right? Does she live here? I saw her go upstairs."The shopkeeper’s smile widened, her eyes radiating with warmth and love. "Oh, yes. Chloe is my daughter.""We are classmates," I explained, though it felt odd saying that when I realized how little I

Adrian's POVI sat in my room in the pack house, trying to find some lead. Betty's was now the second death in the pack in such a short span. I compared all the evidence from Elara and Betty's cases, trying to find out some connection. Only one thing stood out clearly. Mandrake. That poisonous plant had been found at both crime scenes, its presence too deliberate to be a coincidence.I decided to send out an order to investigate the local flower shops for anyone purchasing Mandrake. Just then, a knock interrupted my thoughts. The girl who was sitting beside Isla in the healing and recovery class entered, her expression tight with urgency.I waved her in.“I am Chloe. Isla's friend. I need to talk to you, Alpha,” she said, her voice firm but laced with tension.My wolf stirred inside me restlessly at Isla's name. But I tried to maintain the indifference. I gestured for her to sit. But without wasting time on formalities, she jumped straight to the topic.“Isla told me about the mandrak

Isla's POVAfter a heavy discussion about the herbs and the murders and learning more about both the herbs from Lucas, I knew Nightspire Bloom wouldn't be easy to investigate. But Mandrake... that was the center of it all. Well, that should be our primary focus."Mandrake. Let's start by finding out who has been buying these secretly. Maybe then, we can have our answers..." I sighed.He gave me a small, tired smile. "Just... be careful. You know how dangerous this can be. Whoever is behind this seems to have their eyes on you now."I nodded, knowing the weight of the situation. Honestly, if I hadn't been dragged into this situation, perhaps I would have stayed in the corner like always. But now, I had to go to the bottom of all of this to clear my name.That's when my eyes darted outside the window, and I realized I had been there for a while now.I stood up, feeling a little uneasy. "I will visit again soon. And I will update you on everything. Just focus on recovering."I was about

Isla's POV"Stop! What are you doing?" I glared at Adrian, my heart racing. There was no way I was letting him take Stefan.I looked at Stefan, slightly nodding at him. I didn't need words to tell him that I had his back. He was tied up, panic etched across his face.Adrian came across, now taking the cuff in his hand, seething with fury.“Get your hands off him!” I shouted, my voice trembling. Adrian didn’t even glance my way, his gaze locked onto Stefan as if he were prey.“Enough!” Adrian’s voice sliced through the air like a knife. “We have evidence. He is the one who bought the mandrake. He’s behind all of it, the murders, Isla. Your sister’s death.”I shook my head, the words hitting me like a wave. For a second, I was baffled, unable to formulate any words. How could Stefan have anything to do with Mandrake? Why would he ever hurt Elara? This didn’t add up at all. I knew Stefan. I know he wasn’t capable of something like this.So when Adrian dragged Stefan, my walls were up.St

"Fine," Adrian spat. "Then you can go to prison with him."Isla's POVI scoffed, feeling hurt, despite knowing very well he didn't care about anyone except Elara. He didn't even flinch when he said that, his eyes looking at me with fury. But he had no idea when I offered to go to jail, it wasn't out of some naive impulse. It was because I knew him better than anyone. Stefan was not capable of anything so gruesome.But Stefan suddenly came in between us and shut me down so quickly I barely had time to process his words."Don’t," Stefan said, his voice tight, eyes burning with the weight of the situation. "You shouldn’t make a decision like that for me, especially when it has nothing to do with you.`"I clenched my fists, frustration bubbling inside me. "But it has everything to do with me! You’re my best friend, Stefan. I know you. You would never..." Stefan’s eyes softened for a second as if he was surprised. "Isla, you don't have to go to jail to help me..."Before I could respond,

Adrian's POVThe rumors spread like sickness, tainting every corner of the pack. Wherever I went, I could hear the whispers."Did you hear about Isla and Stefan?""What a pair of adulterers!""I always knew Isla had something to do with it.""Isla is probably just using Stefan." And the rumors only get murkier and more brutal.It made my blood boil. I couldn’t stop the jealousy that gnawed at me, either. Why Stefan? Why did she have to choose him? She was responsible for this ugly situation by doing this.But there was this part of me that felt a deeper rage. No matter how angry I was at her, no matter how confused I felt about her choices... Hearing those disgusting whispers about Isla was more than I could stand. A voice inside me kept nagging that she didn't deserve such hatred.I gritted my teeth as I stormed towards my office, my mind reeling, my heart restless.A message came through just then. My father, the Alpha, was coming for an update. Of course, word would have already r

Isla's POVWhen they let me go, I could hardly believe it.How could I? The last few days had been a whirlwind of accusations, cold glares, and isolation. They all looked at me as if I was a murderer. And the rumors... They reached out to me even if I was locked. When I thought, things would get even worse, I was suddenly released due to lack of evidence. Without a word of explanation for how I was no longer convicted, Adrian’s men simply escorted me back to my house.The relief I should have felt was overshadowed by confusion and guilt. I still didn't know what had happened to Stefan. What had changed? Or did Adrian find any new evidence?I had to know.As soon as they left me at the door, I ran, my feet carrying me straight to Adrian’s office. I needed to know the truth. Stefan had been my only friend in this wretched place. How could I enjoy this freedom or rest without knowing what they had done to him?I burst through Adrian’s door, barely catching my breath. He was busy with som

Isla's POV"What are you doing?" I managed to mumble, confused, feeling something stir deep inside my heart.Adrian's expression had shifted, softening in a way I had never thought was possible. Unlike his usual harsh and distant touch, it was now gentle. He wiped my tears like he cared about me, his hands lingering too long, even after that. And his eyes narrowed with pain to see me hurt.And then, I could hear my heart pounding in my ears loudly. My stomach flip-flopped, forming a knot inside my chest. A wave of emotions that I couldn't even explain coursed through me, rampaging through my insides. Everything faded, and all I could focus on was him... his supple lips... his squared jaw...And the way he looked at me, made my wolf stir inside me, equally drawn to him.But then he pulled back and I knew better.He accused me of having feelings for Stefan. How could he after everything that happened between us? How could he after I told him so many times that Stefan was only my friend?

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

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
