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.

    "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?

    Isla's POV“What are you doing?” I yelled, shoving Adrian away from Stefan.I was shocked to see Adrian here, my heart pounding in my chest. And the way his gaze flickered between me and Stefan, as if accusing me of cheating, weighed heavy on my shoulders. The air was thick with tension. I could feel the raw, untamed rage radiating off him. But Stefan stood on the ground too, sneering at him, almost challenging him.Adrian growled, his eyes red with fury, to show his rage and panic surged through me. He was not going to let Stefan intimidate him. He glared at Stefan like a predator ready to pounce.“Didn’t I tell you not to even think about taking Isla with you?” Adrian’s voice was low and dangerous, dripping with possessiveness. His fists clenched at his sides as he stepped closer towards Stefan, which sent shivers down my spine.Stefan chuckled a bitter smile as if mocking him. He stood tall, unflinching. He looked straight into Adrian’s eyes and scoffed. “What right do you have to

    Isla’s POVThe night had fallen by the time I made it back home. But as I made my way home, I began to feel more restless. Home should be a place for comfort, but for me, it was different. The familiar sense of deep emptiness settled in.But today was different.As I stepped through the door, the house, which had never truly felt like home, was surprisingly lit. I froze when I saw my parents waiting for me at the dining table.I blinked, confused. The way they looked at me... it felt different. And there, on the dining table, was a meal they had prepared. For me. Simple but intentional. The weight of their sudden attention tugged at something deep inside me. For a fleeting second, I felt something I hadn’t in a long time, a flicker of hope. I wondered if they had finally realized I was their only daughter now and had finally decided to appreciate me better.But that hope died quickly when I looked into their eyes. The same doubt. The same suspicion. My brother sat at the end of the ta

    Isla’s POV"Adrian," my lips trembled as I spoke his name.Moonlight filtered through the window, casting a soft glow over Adrian, highlighting his features as he looked at me with an intensity that made my heart race.He stepped closer, his body towering over mine. And I didn't stop him. The heat of him wrapped around me like a blanket, pulling me in. When his fingers grazed my cheek, the roughness of his touch sent shivers down my spine. I pulled him closer, closing the gap for a kiss. And then as if teasing me, his thumb traced my bottom lip, his gaze darkening with desire.“You have no idea what you do to me,” Adrian murmured, his voice low. His hands slid down my arms, pulling me closer, his hot breath fanning the sides of my neck.Well, he had no idea what he was doing to me. I couldn’t speak, couldn’t think, and couldn't ignore this overwhelming feeling inside me.I gasped and taking this opportunity, he captured my lips in a sizzling kiss that made my vision blur. It wasn’t so

    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

    Adrian's POVEvery step I took felt heavier than the last. I had searched endlessly, across the jagged peaks of the Stone Pack’s mountains, through the dense forests of West Fall, and along rivers, questioning anyone who might hold even the faintest knowledge of her."Isla," I murmured under my breath like a prayer, my voice lost to the wind.The name Isla meant nothing to them. But to me... it was my world now.I left no stone unturned, questioning anyone who might have known her. A healer in the West? A traveler in the North? Each time, the response was the same: blank stares and confused shrugs. My desperation grew.I even confronted Stefan, out of desperation. When I found him, his smug demeanor only fueled my fury.“Where is Isla? What have you done with her?” I snarled, grabbing him by the collar and slamming him against the stone walls of the Stone Pack’s hall Stefan shoved me off with a growl, his voice sharp. “Are you still clinging to that delusion? You wrote me and I repli

    Isla's POVEvery day since I returned from the ancient forest, all I felt was emptiness. Vast and hollow. It was as if something had been torn from me. They told me I had lost my track while patrolling. But it didn't add up. How could I lose track? I couldn't help but wonder what it was that I was missing so dearly but couldn't remember.When I returned, every muscle ached as if I had been crushed under a mountain. My body bore no visible wounds, but I knew something profound had happened. The ache in my chest wasn’t just physical. There was something deeper, something I couldn’t place. An overwhelming urge gnawed at me. I felt like I needed to search for… someone. Someone important.But who? Why did I feel so empty?No matter how hard I tried to piece it together, the memory was always out of reach. I was beginning to wonder if I was going crazy.For everyone else, life in the Black Mountain pack moved forward as if nothing happened. And as their alpha, I spent the next few days buri

  • Eclipse of Twin Flames   Chapter 98

    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
