Isla’s POV “We will leave you to talk. I will find Jameson and be back shortly.” Celeste's words resonated in my ears as she left the room, leaving us to grapple with the weight of the situation. My heart pounded with relief that Sasha had returned and trepidation over what her absence might signify. I turned my gaze back towards Sasha, concern etched across my face. "Sasha, where have you been? We were worried about you. What's going on?" I asked, my voice reflecting relief at her return and a sense of urgency to understand her absence. Sasha's gaze met mine, and her expression mirrored the weight of her words. "I apologise for my disappearance, Luna Isla," she began, her voice filled with seriousness. "I had to investigate some crucial information regarding the warlock." My brows furrowed with curiosity and concern. "What did you find out?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.

Aaron's POV I couldn't help but gaze fondly at my beloved Luna Isla and our precious newborn, a wave of happiness washing over me. How fortunate I was to have them both in my life. But as the room emptied and the silence filled the air, I knew it was time to take action. Mt father, Alpha Leon's wise words echoed in my mind, urging me to approach this situation precisely and thoroughly. I couldn't allow my anger or suspicion to cloud my judgment. No, I needed to seek the truth. I left the room, my steps purposeful as I ventured through the winding corridors of our packhouse. My mind raced, concocting strategies and plans, searching for the best action. Gathering as much information as possible became my priority, for I understood that uncovering the truth was crucial in safeguarding our pack. I could not allow this to go on any longer. Finally, I found Sasha in the sanctuary of the office. Her gaze met mine, reflecting a tumult of fear and pain. It pained me deeply to witne
Isla’s POV I jolted awake, my hand instinctively moving to caress the small bump that graced my abdomen. A wave of relief washed over me as I discovered Baby Luke slumbering in his crib, oblivious to the commotion. As I settled back into bed, the door creaked open, unveiling Celeste's concerned face peeking through. "Luna Isla, I hope you had a restful sleep. I felt the need to check on both of you. Is everything alright?" Celeste's voice was filled with genuine care. Caught off guard, my brows furrowed in confusion, but I quickly composed myself, offering a reassuring smile as I nodded in response. "Yes, of course, I was just awakening. But will Luke be alright, considering he wasn't expected?" I asked, my voice filled with a hint of worry, my legs dangling over the edge of the bed as I stretched my tired body. Celeste's gaze softened, releasing a gentle breath of reassurance. "Rest easy, Luna Isla. Baby Luke was full-term and perfectly healthy. It seems you were unaware y
Aaron’s POV As I stood outside my father's room, the weight of betrayal settled heavily on my shoulders. The door before me seemed impenetrable, like a fortress guarding the truth I was about to uncover. My heart raced as disbelief and sadness swirled within me. I took a deep breath, trying to gather my composure before facing the man who had once been my hero, guide, and father. I pushed open the heavy wooden door and stepped into the room. My father, Alpha Leon, sat behind an imposing desk, his posture exuding authority. He glanced up, a smile stretching across his face, but I saw the flicker of unease in his eyes. Did he know what I was coming to say? "Father," I began, my voice steady but laced with restrained emotion. "We need to talk." Alpha Leon's smile faltered, his false charm slipping away. "Ah, Aaron, my son. I've been waiting for this moment. Have you finally understood the path I have set for you?" I clenched my jaw, fighting to keep my voice even. "This isn
Aaron’s POV My heart pounded as I waited for my father's response. His revelation sent shockwaves through the room, and Isla's expression turned from confusion to anger. Coming to stand beside her, I wrapped my arm protectively around her waist, silently reassuring her that I was on her side. "What are you talking about, Father?" I demanded, my voice filled with a mix of anger and curiosity. Alpha Leon sneered, a malicious gleam in his eyes as he taunted us. "Oh, you didn't think I knew, did you? The truth about Isla's past, the darkness that lies within her." I tightened my hold on Isla, my protectiveness surging at my father's words. "Tell us, then. What are you trying to insinuate?" He smiled triumphantly, relishing in the chaos he was causing. "Isla is not what she seems. She's a dangerous hybrid, a threat to our pack's purity. I planned to rid ourselves of her and all the hybrids that plague us." I felt Isla tense in my arms, her breathing growing shallow. My father
Isla’s POV I could hardly believe how my mother had threatened to kill Aaron’s father. I knew he deserved to be punished for his part, but I hadn't expected her to go all crazy like that. I was glad Aaron and Nigel could put Leon in the cells for now. He needed to face his actions the same way that Mrs Jenkins had. "Luna Isla. Listen. I need to tell you something important.” Sasha said quietly, interrupting my thoughts as we walked together. “What is it?” I asked, glancing at her and noticing how worried she seemed. I waited for her to answer, not expecting what came out of her mouth. “We believe we have found the warlock," Sasha revealed, her voice filled with urgency. We ascended to where the babies were sleeping, their surroundings heavily guarded. The gravity of her words hit me like a sudden wave, causing my eyes to widen in both shock and determination. I instinctively gripped the handrail, seeking its support. “I can not believe it,” I whispered in surprise,
Isla’s POV As I stood on the threshold of the warlock's chamber, a chill wind swept through my hair, carrying with it murmurs of whispered incantations. I braced myself, the glow of the amethyst crystal in my hand growing stronger. The power surged within me, a fusion of the wolf's instinctual prowess and the ancient craft of a witch. Locking eyes with the warlock, I could see the satisfaction in his twisted sneer. "So, Miss Isla, you've come to meet your end, my dear hybrid witch," he taunted. Unfazed, I declared firmly, "I have come for answers and justice." Despite the storm swirling around us, my voice remained steady and persistent. The warlock's sneer deepened, his eyes gleaming with malice. "Answers? What could you possibly seek that I would willingly provide?" he spat. My eyes narrowed, my hybrid powers rippling with intensity. "Identities! Secrets! The truth behind your wicked machinations!" I proclaimed. "You have plagued this realm with dark magic for far too lo
Isla's POV The warlock's snarling voice echoed through the chamber, taunting and defiant. Deep inside the recesses of my mind, Cleo, my loyal wolf companion, growled in response. Her voice surged forward, urging me to act decisively. "Isla, we have to destroy him," she demanded. I could feel the power of her instinct pulsating through me, urging me not to back down. The darkness that emanated from the warlock's words only fueled my resolve. I couldn't let him win, couldn't let him escape the justice he so desperately deserved. Gritting my teeth, I locked eyes with the warlock, refusing to succumb to his intimidation. "Give it up," he sneered, his voice laced with malice. But I wasn't ready to accept defeat. My eyes glinted with an unyielding fire as I channelled all the love, protectiveness, and strength of my hybrid abilities into one final surge of power. The energy crackled around me like lightning, a tempest of potential I would unleash upon the warlock's vile existence
