Isla's POV Aaron, usually so open and receptive, had erected a formidable barrier, blocking me from accessing his thoughts through our mind link. This unexpected obstacle sent waves of worry coursing through me, intensifying the unease that had settled deep within my core. The invasion had been successfully thwarted, and our pack had captured the alpha of the opposing faction, neutralising the immediate threat. Yet, amidst the aftermath and the collective relief that permeated the air, Aaron, my trusted ally, had vanished like a ghost. The once bustling safe room now held a haunting silence, broken only by the faint whispers of uncertainty that echoed throughout the chambers. Confusion and concern surged through my veins as I watched my pack-mates gradually disperse, like a pack of wolves scattering in the aftermath of a fierce battle. It was then that Aaron's voice, laced with a solemn tone, reverberated in my ears. "Keep an eye on her, Luna. I have matters to attend to," h
Isla’s POV I felt my frustration boil over, my emotions bubbling up like a cauldron on the verge of overflowing. "Once what, Mother? What are you hiding from me?" I demanded, my voice trembling with a mix of anger and desperation. The weight of the situation was becoming unbearable, and I couldn't bear the thought of my mother keeping vital information from me. My mother's eyes pleaded with me, a mix of sorrow and pain etched across her face. "Isla, please understand that there are things I cannot reveal to you right now. It's for your own safety," she whispered, her voice barely audible amidst the pulsating silence of the cell block. Frustration surged through me, threatening to engulf all rationality. "My safety? What about our pack's safety? How can I protect them if I'm kept in the dark?" I fired back, the words dripping with a desperation that mirrored the pounding of my heart. Mrs. Jenkins cackled from her cell, enjoying the power she held over us all. "Oh, the sweet
Aaron’s POV “Please, Esmeralda, give me a moment alone with Isla," I requested, my voice laced with urgency. Esmeralda nodded understandingly and retreated to her bedroom, leaving us in private. As I turned my attention to Isla, impatience coursed through me, causing my tone to come across as harsher than intended. "Well, Isla, I'm waiting. Could you enlighten me? What is happening?" I demanded, hoping to uncover the truth. To my astonishment, Isla's demeanour shifted suddenly, and she bared her teeth at me, her anger palpable. The accusations she hurled pierced me, stirring a mixture of defensiveness and guilt. I had to remain composed and address her concerns without faltering. Taking a deep breath, I steadied myself, determined to explain. "Isla, I understand your frustration, but please allow me to clarify. I did intentionally sever our connection by putting up that block because I needed to get answers from the alpha who attacked our pack." I explained, trying to ease the t
Isla’s pov “Isla, everything will be ok.” Aaron immediately turned to me and stroked my face with his hand, sending shivers of excitement bolting through my body. My wolf howled at our mate's touch, but I couldn’t help but worry. Aaron’s father did not like witches, and I understood his reasons. However, the mate bond was a powerful thing. I loved Aaron with all my heart and soul. He was the best thing that had happened to me. I couldn’t bear the thought of losing him or being the reason his father made him step down as Alpha. “Aaron, please. Go to your father. He will be waiting for you, m. Don’t let him wait long.” I stepped away and shook my head. “Isla, my father loves me, and he won’t be here to destroy what we have just because you are a hybrid. My darling, please do not let this consume you with worry or upset. Everything will be fine.” He continued to reassure me, and I smiled up at him. He always knew how to make me feel better, but that horrible, nagging feeling pic
A Shocking Admission Isla’s POV Later that day… I adjusted the straps of my dress as I stood in front of the mirror, nerves running rampant through my system. Tonight was a special occasion because Aaron and I would have dinner in the pack dining hall with his father, Alpha Leon, and my mother, Esmeralda. Taking a deep breath, I walked out of my room and met Aaron in the hallway. His emerald green eyes were adored as he took in my appearance. "You look stunning, Isla," he murmured, taking my hand. "They will love you." I smiled, his words bringing me a sense of comfort and reassurance. Aaron had been my rock throughout this journey, and I was grateful to have him by my side. Together, we walked towards the packed dining hall, the scent of delicious food filling the evening air. As we entered the hall, my heart pounded in my chest. The room was crowded with pack members, their conversations mingling with laughter and the clinking of cutlery. Alpha Leon and Esmeralda were
An unexpected surprise Isla’s POV Mrs Jenkins' words hit me like a freight train, sending a shockwave of realisation through my body. I felt my heart drop as I turned to look at Aaron, confusion and fear reflected in my eyes."What is she talking about, Aaron?" I asked, my voice trembling. I couldn't comprehend what Mrs. Jenkins was implying. How could I be carrying a baby? Aaron's eyes widened, his grip on my hand tightening even more. "Isla, I... I didn't know," he stammered, his voice laced with disbelief. "I swear, I had no idea."Mrs Jenkins cackled, her laughter echoing through the room. "Oh, the poor boy didn't know, did he? Oh, Alpha, you’re Luna, and her stupid wolf has deceived you. Luna, you thought you could hide it from him, didn't you, Isla? Well, I'm afraid secrets have a way of revealing themselves." Aaron looked as confused as I felt. How could she possibly know I was having a baby before I knew? Cleo had not even uttered a word of this to me. “She is trying
Aaron's POV: "Isla," I spoke tenderly, my voice filled with excitement, "Can you imagine our adventures as parents? The laughter and joy that will fill our home? Our children will be surrounded by a pack that loves them more than anything. They will have a clan to protect them, guide them, and shower them with warmth and care." “I know; I am just so excited.” Isla smiled up at me with love and adoration in her beautiful eyes. I gently took Isla's hand, touching it and lovingly kissing her knuckles. "Together, we will create a world for our little one filled with love, happiness, and the unwavering support of our pack. They will grow up knowing that they are cherished and adored." I couldn't help but chuckle as I imagined our endless adventures. "And who knows, my love? Perhaps our child will become an Alpha or Luna, just like their courageous and beautiful mother. The possibilities are endless, Isla." I held Isla close, feeling the life within her and eagerly awaiting the
Isla's POV I woke up the following day in a horrible sweat; my body ached, and I tried to reach Cleo, but it was as if she was no longer within me. I woke up and noticed that Aaron was still fast asleep. He looked so peaceful, and I did not want to disturb him since he was exhausted. My thoughts turned back to the unborn baby growing inside of me. Everyone had been so happy for us, so excited and pleased. Yet, I had that horrible nagging feeling in the back of my mind about Mrs. Jenkins. Alpha Leon had insisted that she had been cared for, but what did that ever mean? Was she dead? That old woman was evil; she deserved to be rid of, but what if there were more to the story than I had been told? I wished that Cleo would come to me and help me to figure this out, but mostly to reassure me that I was not going crazy. I felt like I needed to hurry up and find these answers before my baby was born into the world. Mrs Jenkins had done a lot of evil in her time. Carrie began to stir
