Isla’s POV

I don’t know how I managed to get to my room and when I fell asleep. All I knew was that I was on the floor when I woke up. Actually, the sound of someone knocking on the door, followed by the housekeeper’s voice, had woken me up.

As I sat up, listening to the voice of the housekeeper instructing me to come downstairs.

My bone ached, and the throbbing pain in my heart hadn’t vanished. I felt weak and tired to make things worse. Dario’s words echoed in my mind.

I sighed. The pain in my chest was increasing with each passing second. I felt like I could explode any minute from now. So this is how rejection felt. It was worse than I ever imagined.

I wished Padre was here with me. His hands wrapped around my body would wash away the feeling of pain that I was experiencing right now. At that moment, my eyes landed on the teddy perched at the corner of my bed.

My father had given me that teddy on my eighteenth birthday. I got on my feet, heading to the corner of the bed. Tha

    Isla’s povI sat quietly in the car. My gaze was fixed on the passing scenery outside. Dario was focused on the road; he seemed to steal glances at me occasionally, yet he failed to pay attention to me or say any words.I hated this. As we approached the grand entrance of the Empire Academy, my anxiety grew. I wondered what I was going to experience. As Dario parked the car, I exited the vehicle. I felt a mix of excitement and nervousness. The academy's imposing structure loomed ahead. I took a deep breath, steeling myself for the adventure ahead. Dario walked in front of me and headed towards the academy's entrance. I followed him in silence. My mind was a whirlwind of emotions. The click-clack of our footsteps echoed in the corridor as we made our way through the imposing halls. The academy's interior was a blend of modernity and tradition. I observed the architectural details, the portraits of esteemed graduates lining the walls, and the buzz of students preparing for the acad

    Dario’s POV I watched as Isla stormed out of the living room. She was hurt. It was very visible, and I felt bad she had to experience this. “You upset the girl!” I said, turning to face them. “This is no way to face such matters.”I was glaring at them.“We were just being honest.” One of the elders spoke up. “She has no idea why we made such decisions.““Yes, I’m well aware of that, but that doesn’t mean you have to speak that way.”“We don’t care about how the girl feels. All that concerns us is that our decision is carried out.” the same elder who had spoken up continued talking.“We’ve known you for years, Dario; you’re meant to understand how important it is not to bury a man who took our daughter away close to her.” “Well, I would like to remind you that the man you’re referring to is Elena’s husband,” I said boldly. “Alfred was-”“Don’t dare mention his name.” Another elder spoke, standing to his feet. He looked agitated.“This is my house, and I have the right to call who

    Isla’s POVI’m all alone. I felt like I couldn’t breathe as every part of me was breaking into pieces. In a moment of overwhelming sorrow, I turned away, my sobs escaping into the quiet air. I began to run, each step displaying my desperate attempt to escape the pain that clung to me like a suffocating fog. The world became blurry as my vision was clouded by the tears streaming down my face.I expected Dario to follow me or do something, but for a second, it seemed like I had forgotten that Dario didn’t care about me. I would have to carry the burden by myself.My only hope was that everything wouldn’t come crashing down on me.As I raced through the cemetery, the haunting memories of her fractured family fueled my anguish. The cold wind bit at me, matching the chill in my heart. How had she felt knowing that the ones who should be home to her had turned their backs against her because of one decision?My breaths came in ragged gasps, the rhythm of my hurried steps syncing with the

    Isla’s POV I couldn’t help the smile on my face as I entered the mansion. I cradled the chips and the latte in my hands. While I still couldn’t picture myself happier than I was before losing Papa, this was the best I had felt in the last three days. It was like meeting Silvan had given someone to take a little bit of my sadness from me. I was about to climb the stairs when I heard footsteps behind me. The next thing that happened shocked me.Dario had stepped in front of me. He swung his hands roughly, and this action caused the latte to drop to the ground and the chips to fall, too. My eyes landed on the fallen items.I was devastated.I turned to look at Dario with a very annoyed expression. I was about to speak, but he beat me to it.“Where have you been, young lady?” He sounded so stern.“I don’t think it matters to you where I have been; you severed our mate bond, so you don’t have to care about me.”“Isla! I wouldn’t ask you again.” Dario’s voice echoed loudly across the roo

    Isla’s povI hadn’t seen Dario during the rest of the day. I didn’t have any problem with that. I was happy being far from him. The next morning, I got ready for school. It was going to be my first day, and while I wasn’t too excited about it, I was glad that I would be far away from this mansion.I headed downstairs. When I got to the dining table, my eyes collided with Dario.He didn’t seem happy to see me. He pulled his eyes away, and Instantly, he stood up. I sat alone during breakfast, enjoying the scrumptious meal the maids had prepared. Once I was done, I was about to leave the dining table when one of the guards approached me.“Miss. The driver is waiting for you outside.”‘Nice!’ I exclaimed inwardly. Dario wouldn’t be driving me to school, so I wasn’t surprised.I headed to my room and grabbed my bag, dashing down the stairs seconds later. With long strides, I made my way out of the mansion.It was still the early hours of the morning. So the sun hasn’t risen at its peak.

  • Wanting My Lycan King Godfather   16. An Harmless Date

    Isla’s POV It was either I was very good at avoiding Dario, or he was just very good at avoiding me, too. I have somehow been able to avoid seeing him all through the week, and I was hoping the weekend wouldn’t ruin that.Anyways, School has been good. Well, with Silvan by my side. It made it even better we were an unstable duo, and I was warming up to him, too.I pulled the duvet from my body, feeding my legs into the flip-flops. I went to the bathroom and showered quickly. Pulling a pretty dress over my body afterwards.I didn’t have any plan today other than doing my homework, sitting in my room all day, and also avoiding Dario as much as I could.Then I heard my phone’s ringtone blaring into the air. I rushed towards the direction of my phone, and my eyes beamed when I saw it was Silvan. Yes, we exchanged numbers.“Hey, Silvan!” I said into the phone as I picked it up. “What’s up?”“Nothing apart from the fact that I am having a terrible morning.”“That sounds really bad, but I w

    Dario’s POV “I will see you later today, General,” I said in a bold tone. “Then we can discuss the next step.” The general bowed his head, walking away. I was all alone now, and my eyes moved around the study. I have spent most of my time here during the weekday. Going through the investigations. If I was not in the study, I was out in the woods with the general and the rest of the men. I needed a break. So I headed to the living room after days of doing a lot of investigations on the vicious canines with my men. For the first time, I felt the urge to relax, even if it was for a few minutes. As I stepped into the living room, my eyes grew in disbelief as they collided with Isla wrapped in the hands of the boy I saw her with the other day. I didn’t understand the feeling flowing through my heart. All I knew was that I wanted to ride that man apart into several pieces. I walked close to where they were sitting, my anger increasing. “Get up, young man!” I yelled, dragging him by

    Isla’s POV “Fill me in.”As I waited for Dario to speak, my mind drifted off. I couldn’t help but feel like apart from the investigation. Dario had other reasons for sending Silvan away.It was hard to detect what his reasons were since Dario was the guy who knew how to keep up a close-up persona. It was quite hard to figure out anything about him.I knew not to rack my brain too much when it came to him, but sometimes I couldn’t help myself.I groaned inwardly as my thoughts shifted towards the moment that almost happened.I couldn’t shake the feeling off, but I felt like this incident was similar to the one that had happened before. I felt this strong connection towards Dario, and it seemed that he had felt it, too.That look in his eyes had said it all. I didn’t know if I was hallucinating or something, but for a split second, I could swear I had seen desire in Dario’s eyes. I pushed those thoughts away immediately after I heard Dario speak. “Vicious Canines have a cult headquar

    Five years later. I woke up to the sound of my children's excited voices, their laughter cascading through the air like a warm, familiar embrace. Pulling my eyes open, I gradually focused on my daughter. She was standing really close to me, with her hands crossed behind her back "Mommy, come downstairs! Quick!" she exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with anticipation. Her hands, which were crossed behind her back, moved forward to touch mine. "Mommy, come on! Quick!" she exclaimed, with a higher pitched tone. I tried to understand my daughter’s sudden need for me to go downstairs. I glanced at the clock on my bedside, and I realized it was just eight in the morning. It was quite early. Very early. I sighed, turning to look at Selene who seemed to have given up. When she saw I wasn’t budging she let go of my hands and headed out of the room. Then she returned few seconds later, with a pretty determined face. “Mom, this is really important.” Not long after she said those words ,

    Isla’s POVThe night was quiet. The only sound breaking the stillness of the air was the soft rustle of leaves outside our window. I lay in bed after I had managed to put my daughter to bed, dozing off. Suddenly, a cry pierced the silence, a sound that jolted me awake. My eyes flew open, my heart pounding, and without hesitation, I swung my legs over the side of the bed, my bare feet meeting the cool wooden floor as I rushed towards the nursery. Dario, who had heard the sound of our daughter’s cry, rolled out of bed. He walked behind me, his steps slower than mine.I pushed open the nursery door when I got there. Dario and I had put the nursery in order some days ago. Actually, Dario had done all the work; I just stood there watching him since he wouldn’t let me help.Gliding past the entrance, I felt a surge of warmth fills me at each step. I moved to the crib, which was adorned with soft blankets and stuffed animals. Then I reached for my baby, cradling her gently in my arms."Hush

I knew that, this was far from being surreal. It was real and I was going to get married to the man of my dreams.If someone had told me some months back that I would end up with Dario. I would never have believed that person, but here I was today, leaving my dreams.Dario pulled his hands away from me, he placed a soft kiss on my ringed finger, then he moved his hands to my face.“My Luna!” He said softly. I blushed not hiding the fact that I was filled with joy. During that moment, the thought of spilling everything that happened to my parents crossed my mind. I wanted my padre to know that everything turned out fine."Dario,” I called out to him. “I want to tell my parents about us," I said.Dario smiled warmly, his eye

    Dario’s POVI walked into the mansion with Isla by my side. Finally, the battle was over.I stared at her as those thoughts settled in my mind. The victorious look in her eyes was not so different from mine. She must have noticed that I was staring at her because she looked my way, and I noticed as tears began to full from her eyes.“We did it!” She said with her lips curved up. “We finally did it!”“You did it!” I said moving close to her. I wrapped my hands around her body, planting a kiss on her forehead. The joy in my heart couldn’t be contained, and right now the only thought on my mind was finally seeing my child—my daughter.My hands which were on Isla uncurled and my eyes swerved in the opposite direction staring at Jonas.“Inform the men to take care of the bodies and clean everywhere up.” Jonas nodded at my reply, after that was said I turned to look at Isla.“Let’s go see our child.” Together, we made our way up the stairs, crossing the bodies that were at the staircase.

    Isla’s POV The battle unfolded before my eyes, as I ran upstairs. I watched as more of the attackers stepped into the mansion walls with their weapons in their hands. It seemed that Dario had called upon on his men from the human base because I noticed that among those attackers were men far more armed and ready to take down whoever dared to stand in their way.As I ascended up the stairs the sounds of body dropping to the ground filled my ears. A sign the men were already taking action.“Do you think it’s going to work?” Nima’s voice spilled into my mind as I continued to walk.“What is?” I questioned, trying to grasp what she was trying to say.“The plan you have to weaken the cursed blood.”“I know it will. The fact that this idea crawled into my mind means it will work and if it doesn’t we would find another way.”Nima didn’t say any words after and I focused on the hallway ahead of me. I arrived in front of the room where my grandmother was staying with Diane and my baby. I tr

During that moment I felt a sharp pain in my stomach. The feeling was so strong and I knew what it meant.“I think the baby is coming.” I said.“Isla, are you sure?” Diane asked.“Yes.” I screamed. “It is time.”My eyes which was once on Diane landed on my grandma who looked shocked. With a raised tone she spoke up, running towards the hallway to get a hold of the guards.“We need to get to the hospital now!” I could hear my grandmother say. “We can’t waste anytime.”Diane moved close to me she help

    Dario’s POV (2 months later)Time flew by very quickly, and the arrival of my daughter was closer than I expected it to be. The joy of becoming fatherhood filled my heart , but underneath that joy was fear. I couldn’t shake off the thoughts that I might mess things up or something would go wrong somewhere. No matter how many times I tried to convince myself internally that handling things after the child was born would be an easy task those treacherous thoughts would return.Kai on the other hand felt otherwise and I wasn’t surprised. The joy in his heart was one he wasted no time to spread for instance this morning.I had gotten up much earlier than usual. The sky was still dark, and from the looks of it. It would take a while before the sun would arrive.I made up my mind to jog, well that wasn’t my first choice. After, I couldn’t fall asleep and the fear about being a terrible father had taken over my mind. Kai ever so considerate had suggested that I head out for a run.“Running

    Silvan’s POV Months had passed since I had set my eyes on Isla. My mind wasn’t at rest. I wanted to see how things were going with her and how she was doing even if it was just getting a glimpse of her.I made up my mind the following week to do so. With my men going to the pack for an attack, Dario would be out of the house making things so much easier.At the arrival of the following week, I set out to the pack . I had taken a narrow route, instead of the main path so I wouldn’t be seen. I bursted out at a trail which stretched out into the forest that was pretty close to Dario’s mansion.I parked my car there, and continued on foot. It was pretty difficult navigating through the path on foot but I managed to find my way. The top of the mansion looked at me as I reached the end of the forest. I inched closer until I arrived at the main road. I made my way down the road that pointed to the mansion entrance and when I got there, I realised only two guards were stationed outside.A

The minute I stepped into the sitting room they turned my way.“Are you fine Isla?” Diane was the first to speak up and I smiled her way. “I’m okay, a bit scared but fine.” I took my seat close to her and she shot me a calm look. “I know he’ll be able to handle whatever comes his way.” I added.“Of course.” My grandmother joined in the conversation. “The only thing I’m concerned about is why this people keep coming back.”“I wonder the same thing too.” Diane said. “It’s strange.”“I feel like they’re here for something and they are yet to get it.” I said casually.
