Isla's POV

I 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.

    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

    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.

    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

    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

    Isla's POVI locked the door behind me the moment I entered my room. I gasped for air, looking at the familiar space of my room around me. My only comfort. I leaned on the door, drawing another shaky breath. I needed this solitude more than I needed anything else. But even then, my mind wouldn’t stop racing.My heart ached, tangled in guilt and frustration. I shouldn’t have been caught up in the feelings I had for Adrian, feelings that never should have bloomed in the first place.He was Elara’s. He had always been. He will always be. I reminded myself bitterly.My wolf’s voice whispered through my mind, calm and soothing. “It’s okay. You don’t have to punish yourself. Everything that happened can be forgotten... can be changed. Time will wash it away.”I didn’t believe her. How could I? The pain was too raw. It was too real. I had let myself fall for him, even though I never admitted it. But now, with Elara back, everything felt like it was slipping through my fingers. The jealousy

    Adrian's POVThe past few days blurred into a whirlwind of responsibility and decisions. Or maybe I was trying to hide myself, running away from the situation.I had announced Elara's return to the Pack, declaring it a moment of celebration. After all, her survival was a beacon of hope after a long episode of despair. She was loved by the entire pack. So her survival brought happiness to the pack. At the same time, I listed Chloe as a top wanted criminal. Only if we could find her, could we get some lead to find the real mastermind of the recent incidents.A letter had been dispatched to the new Alpha of the West Fall Pack, inviting him to the celebration. I included details of Elara's supposed ordeal.

The dress clung to her, showing her otherworldly beauty as her hair tumbled in polished waves as she smiled brightly. Indeed, she looked like she was the center of it all.I knew my place. I didn’t want to steal attention, nor did I deserve it. So, I wore a plain white dress, simple and demure. I blended into the background like a ghost, a fitting role for someone who had always been just out of focus, forever standing in her sister’s shadow.The royal estate buzzed with excitement and

    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?

    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

    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
