Aaron's POV. Nigel’s mate. I'm glad that my mate is back. Holding her in my arms again feels fantastic. It's like we're finally complete again. But then, there was a commotion. My beta was acting crazy over Isla's new friend, and she seemed afraid. “Are you sure that she is your mate?” I questioned my beta. He nodded. “It's Mrs Jenkins's fault.” isla blurted out, and I was confused even more. When Isla explained what had happened to her, it made sense to me. Mrs Jenkins sounded like a psycho, and we couldn't let her harm either of the girls again. Nigel was convinced that she was his mate, but as she wasn't feeling it, I knew that I had to get her and Isla to safety. I was glad that Isla had someone to help her through this. Suddenly, one of my warriors interrupted us, saying a knocking sound came from one of the buildings. I felt Isla stiffen up and run towards where the warrior had pointed to. She ignored my call. I had to ensure everyone was safe, but Isla wa
The Shock Once back at the packhouse, Nigel and taken Sasha to settle in one of the spare bedrooms and Aaron took charge with organising our survivors and making sure everyone was ok. A few omegas hurried around with blankets and cups of hot drinks. I could feel my heart pounding as I thought about Pembroke and my sister. The memory of their last moments being attacked was still fresh in my mind. The whole pack is gone just like that. It was all so unfair. But then my thoughts turned to the baby I was holding. Cora would be relieved to know that the baby was safe with me. I was determined to protect her, no matter what. Looking around at the other survivors, I could see the shock and trauma etched on their faces. I couldn't blame them for feeling that way. After all, they had just witnessed something truly horrific. For a moment, I felt overwhelmed with emotion. I wanted to break down and cry, to scream at the unfairness of it all. But I knew that I couldn't. I had to b
Isla’s POV “Isla, listen to me. Mrs Jenkins is in prison. She won’t be getting out. However, I have to tell you.” He paused and rubbed his forehead to find the right words. I searched his eyes for answers. My heart was pounding in my chest. “Aaron, what is it?” I stammered. He placed both hands on my shoulders so we were face to face and eye to eye. “Mrs Jenkins was the one behind the attack on Pembroke.” The revelation of Mrs Jenkins as the orchestrator behind the devastation that had occurred in our pack sent shockwaves through the air. She was just an older woman, but the magnitude of her twisted actions stunned us all. “No.” I gasped, clasping a hand over my mouth as he held me. My old pack flashed before me, and I felt anger overwhelm me. That old witch! With determination burning in my eyes, I turned to Aaron. "We can't let her get away with this," I declared, my voice brimming with conviction. "She must face the consequences of her actions." Aaron's gaze met
Aaron’s POV Isla was determined to face that evil old witch and I admired her courage to do so. Mrs Jenkins was pure evil, the fact that she openly admitted to destroying Pembroke left me speechless. The question of why still remained unclear but I was sure that we would get to the bottom of it eventually. I watched as she walked towards the packhouse leaving me and my beta with sasha. They seemed like they were becoming comfortable with each other which was great to see. “Beta Nigel, we need to attend this house where Mrs Jenkins lived. I want Isla guarded and her every move watched. She is not to access the prisoners. Mrs Jenkins is a dangerous witch and I’m unsure if Isla’s wolf will keep from taking over her next time. If she kills that old witch then we will not get the answers that we need.” My beta nodded and turned to Sasha. “I will not be long.” He started to say but I raised my hand. “No, I will go alone with the other pack warriors. I want you to remain here a
Aaron’s POV. Emma's voice trembled with disbelief and familiarity as she uttered my name. Her wide-eyed expression hinted at a more profound connection, one that lurked beneath the surface of her current predicament. Instinctively, I tightened my grip, shielding her from potential harm. "Emma? How do you know who I am?" I questioned, my voice filled with both curiosity and concern. I gently set her down on her feet, allowing her a moment to steady herself, her fragile frame swaying slightly. The young girl's lips quivered as she struggled to find the words. "I... I heard stories about you, about the Alpha who would protect us." Her voice was barely above a whisper as if the weight of her trauma prevented her from speaking louder. "They said you were our last hope." My heart sank as I comprehended the depth of her suffering. Mrs Jenkins' cruel actions had extended far beyond the boundaries of our pack. She had been tormenting innocent beings, exploiting their vulnerability
Isla’s POV “She is dead. I killed that bitch," I spat through gritted teeth, my voice filled with bitter satisfaction. The weight of those words hung heavy in the air, releasing a toxic mix of anger and triumph that intoxicated my senses. Emma gasped at my admission while Aaron sat observing me, not taking his eyes off me. “Isla, where are you going with this?” He asked with an eyebrow raised. “ that baby was Mora’s, and my sister took her on as her own with Miller. And now their dead because of that evil Mrs Jenkins, who we have locked up downstairs in the cells. I want to go and personally kill her myself.” “Isla, no. You can’t be doing that. I still have questions for her. She cannot do any more damage locked up down there. She is fully guarded and unable to escape.” Aaron assured me, but I frowned. She was evil and more clever than any of us could ever realise. “She knew who I was when she first looked at me,” I grumbled. “So Emma. Tell me. What was it your mo
Aaron’s POV It won't be easy facing my family's disapproval, but I know they will come around once they see that Isla is my everything. As a hybrid, Isla possesses incredible powers and strength, making her an asset to our pack. However, I also worry about the dangers of her hybrid nature. The fact that Emma's mother was murdered just for withholding information about the hybrid baby proves that others may try to harm Isla or our loved ones. It's a terrifying thought, and it keeps me on constant high alert. I can't let my guard down for a moment. Isla's safety, as well as the safety of our pack, depends on it. Isla is worth fighting for, and I will stop at nothing to ensure her safety. We will face the challenges ahead, united and stronger than ever. No matter what obstacles we encounter, our love will prevail. My father and brother may challenge me for my alpha status once they hear of Isla’s true identity. It ripped my father apart when my mother died in that attack. T
Isla’s POV Walking away from Aaron as he informed me that he planned to call upon my mother made me feel a mixture of emotions. My mother. It had been a while since I had seen her. Of course, I missed her. However, Aaron was my mate, and I could not let my hybrid nature be known if his family rejected me. After what had happened to his mother when he was young, I understood the reason why but I hated having to hide who I indeed was. Being distant from my own family was a choice I had made to be able to live peacefully with my mate. He was my world and more, and I would do anything for him. However, with everything going on, it wasn't easy to keep that side of me silent. Cleo yearned to be in control, to rip that bitch Mrs Jenkins apart. She thought she was going around destroying hybrids for their powers. She had so much to answer for. All the innocent lives she had taken, and all for what exactly? Some greed to be known as the most powerful in the witch and werewolf realm. Sh
