Isla’s POVI laid on the bed, my heart pounding in my chest as I watched the scene unfold before my eyes. The figure who emerged in front of me was Dario. I felt like I was in a dream like nothing I was seeing was real. It felt too good to be true. I blinked only to open it and see Dario. He was actually here.Despite the fact that everything felt like a dream, I couldn’t hide the fact that I felt a sudden wave of calmness the second I set my eyes on him.The minute he looked at me, I saw how he mirrored my exact emotions. He appeared relived to see me. Dario turned his eyes away focusing on Axel whose look of terrified look had grown drastically.The room echoed with the sound of scuffling and grunts as Dario shoved Axel across it. This impact had caused a loud cracking sound which signified that Axel would have broken a bone or two. ‘Serves him right, ‘ I said to myself, with my eyes still placed on them.Dario kept on tossing Axel around like he was some toy, I could see the
Isla’s POV“I’m sorry.” I said breaking the silence. “I’m sorry for troubling you.”I saw the anticipation in Dario’s eyes leave as he stared at me. “You’re sorry.” He repeated his voice rough and vogue. “After running away from home that’s all you have say?”“What do you expect me to say?” His words had aggravated angry emotions in me.“Tell me how stupid your decisions were, because that’s the only explanation for you running off like that.”I scoffed. “So you expected me to stay in that house, and go Insane as I watched the two of you,”I saw a switch in his eyes, but he managed to mask it up quickly. “Stop making excuses.”“So, my emotions are excuses Dario.” My voice came out low. “Well I’m sorry, I’m sorry that I’m not perfect at concealing how I feel like almighty Dario.”“Watch how you talk to me young lady !” He said seemed my words had rattled him. “If I don’t what are you going to do, because you have pretty much hurt me, any new thing you would do, wouldn’t rattle a bo
Isla’s pov“I’m sorry for everything!” Dario said, his voice echoing through the room. I couldn’t believe his words. I peered at him, at that moment I saw his lips unfurl again Dario had more words to say. Maybe Nima was right. “I’m always right!” She said in a cheerful tone. “It feels too good to be true.” I said to her. I didn’t continue talking because I heard Dario clear his throat.I placed my attention him and he still appeared Vulnerable. I wondered why he wasn’t concealing his emotions. It had been so scarred by Dario’s actions that even with his honest and regretful eyes. I was still waiting for him to switch, to walk out on me, to act like everything he said was nothing.“Isla!” He called out. His hands which was perched on mine, left and at that moment he placed them on my hips. Warmth radiated through my body, as he pulled me into his embrace.“I’ve missed you!” He whispered, leaning closer. He stationed his lips at the corner of my neck, at that gesture I felt the h
Isla’s pov“Dario please!” I begged.Dario looked at me, with daring eyes and once again he dug his fingers deep within me, like he was reaching for pleasures I did not know was buried within me. It felt so good and drove me to the edge. I protested for him to stop once again but he kissed me, and I gasped from both the electrifying shock and satisfaction. Then Dario pulled his hands away, taking his lips with him. He was leaning backwards now. I was on the edge at this point and I knew that Dario could sense the feeling of edginess crawling within me. Surprisingly he did not do anything but watch me. If he did this to drive me crazy, it was working, and not in the best way.I was about to protest. I was about to beg him to touch me, because that was what I wanted. Him. I had been starved for so long that having a touch of him made me hungry.In the midst of my raging hunger and need to protest, Dario pulled me back to deeply kiss my lips, my earlobes, and my neck.His hands ran u
Dario’s POVIsla's shock couldn’t be missed and as I stared her way. I realized what had just happened. I had strengthened the bond between us. The air seemed to crackle with tension as we both processed the weight of this newfound connection. My eyes bore into hers, with a mix of astonishment and understanding flickering through them."Isla," my voice was barely above a whisper as I called out to her. I was about to say more words, when Kai’s squeals caught my ears.He was happy , very happy and I knew why. I turned my attention back to Isla and once her gaze was locked onto mine, instant tears welled up in her eyes as if to reflect the magnitude of what had just happened. "Dario, I... I don't understand. Did you... did you make a mistake?" Her voice trembled with emotion, as uncertainty colored her words.Mistake! I repeated trying to take in all she said. The tears streaming down her eyes increased and I didn’t know what to do, and why she was acting this way.I shook my h
Dario’s POVI noticed that Isla had slept off, when her breathing became steady, I shifted my head forward to get a good look at her, and I was captivated.she looked so angelic as the moonlight filtered through the bedroom window, landing on the corner of her face. I shifted her to the other side of the bed, and she let out a soft sound.I spent a minute staring at her, before planting a kiss on her forehead. Then I got on my feet walking to the window.Outside, a few clouds lazily drifted across the night sky, casting shadows that danced across the peaceful town. I locked the windows making sure they were bolted properly from the inside.With one good look at Isla. I walked to where my clothes were littered on the floor and pulled it over my body. My mind kept going to Axel. I needed to have a word with him, I needed answers.I was almost done buttoning my shirt, when I heard the sound of a window flapping open. It was the window closest to the bed. I rushed to it, with one hand
Isla’s POVThe first rays of dawn peeked through the curtains,I stirred from my sleep, my eyelids heavy as I turned to the other side of the bed. My hands ran over the bed sheets expecting to feel Dario’s hard body. I was taken aback when I felt an empty space.I managed to pull my eyes completely open realizing that this was no fragment of my imagination. Dario was not here.An uneasy feeling crept over me. The empty room echoed with silence, amplifying my thoughts and fears. Did Dario leave without a word? Did something happen during the night? Panic began to rise within me, threatening to overwhelm my senses.I needed to stay calm but I couldn’t. My mind traveled back to out last conversation and the fact that Dario had given me no reply. My racing heart doubled, during that moment I felt it—the familiar throbbing of the mate mark on my skin. It pulsed gently, a reminder of our bond, and a wave of relief washed over me. Dario couldn't have left me.Gathering myself , I p
“So?” I repeated with an eager tone, staring into his eyes.“I don’t think it’s such a good idea to stay back.” Dario spoke up and immediately the look on my face change. “Isla. I want you to understand the whole council is waiting for me. I’m the king I can’t just stay here like that.” He added making things much worse, but I was not going to back down I really needed this time alone with Dario, and I was going to make sure it happened.With my attention on him, I spilled out soft words. “You’re not just staying back, you’re going to be staying with me.” I said.“Please!” I pleaded, holding his hands in mine. “It will be for a short while.”Dario took in a deep breath, with his eyes placed firmly on me. I hoped that he could see the eagerness in me my gaze. I wanted him to be aware of how much I wanted this and maybe this would make him change his mind.“Alright!” He said finally agreeing to my demands. “Thank you!” I replied, squeezing him into my arms. A sense of relie
