Isla’s POVA week had passed since my visitation to my grandfather’s house and life in Dario’s mansion has been going well. Well, not too well if I had to be sincere with myself and this was because of Dario.Dario has been so busy, that I hardly see him. We barely have breakfast together and when he arrives home he’s either too tired or having a headache. Even when I woke up this morning I wasn’t surprised that he wasn’t by side. I was already used to his disappearance but I was also becoming worried about him.It was normal for Dario to be occupied but a part of me felt like there was more to this, and the only way to find was talking to him.I glanced at the my phone which was beside me, and I realized it was very early I was sure Dario was still in the mansion actually I hoped he would be. I really wanted to talk to him.Without wasting any more time, I headed downstairs, as I pushed myself upward, I felt a dull throb at the back of my skull. My hands which were by my side l
Isla’s POV“You see, what I told was right you. Dario is busy.” Nima cut into my thoughts and I furrowed my brow placing my phone in my pocket.“You’ve no single idea Nima!” I replied in a loud tone. “This message doesn’t justify anything.”“Dario clearly stated that he’s busy!”“Clearly!” I scoffed. “This message feels wrong so wrong, it’s like it’s coming from someone else.”“Isla, you need to calm down and relax. You’re not well and instead of you resting you’re busy—““Save it!” I snapped. “I know what I am feeling is right, I hate the fact that you’re trying to turn things around and make me feel like I’m going crazy.”“I’m not doing that Isla, I just want you to take it easy.” I shut Nima out afterwards as I stepped inside the house. I went into the room and once I got there I ended up going through the documents the secretary had sent to me. It was quite difficult going through each and every document but I managed to do so. Along the line, I ended up falling asleep, by the
Isla’s POV“I’ve to inform you your highness that Isla’s case is very delicate.” ‘Delicate!’ I repeated inwardly. I was worried at this point, and several negative thoughts flew in and out of my mind. I turned to look at Dario who had a shocking look on his face, but he managed to conceal it when he noticed that my eyes were on him, flashing me soft look.Dario’s soft look seemed to do nothing to me. I guessed he had noticed it too, because he spoke up immediately.“Why don’t you inform Isla what the delicate issue is. I’m sure she is curious about it too” Dario arched a brow staring at me, and I swallowed hard. I didn’t know how to react to this but part of me was willing to hear, I knew whatever it was. I placed my attention back on my surroundings, and I realized that the doctor had moved closer to us. He adjusted the glasses on his face, and his eyes moved swiftly from Dario then back to me.Waiting for the doctor to speak, felt like an eternity probably this was because of my
Dario’s POVI walked beside the doctor as he made his down the stairs. He seemed to be saying something, but I was lost in my thoughts that I was unaware of it.The moment we got to the door that led outside I became aware of my environment. I flashed the doctor a fake smile.“Thank you doctor!” I said calmly.He nodded his head before walking away. I made my way down the hallway afterwards, and as I walked my mind kept on revisiting the doctor’s words. “She’s pregnant.”Those words were like wrecking balls smashing into my whole mind. In the fit, of the moment I slammed my fist into wall letting out a scream which seemed to stop mid-way as I managed to stop myself, clasping my hands over my mouth.I continued slamming my hands into the wall, and the pain which shot through my veins couldn’t be compared to the pain I felt within. I was a betrayer, and knew Alfred and Elena wherever they were hated me right now.As that thought settled into my head, I increased the punches I was t
Chapter 132 Isla’s POVThe second, I left the mansion I started to jog. I decided to head to my parents grave. The urge to be in their presence was all I needed.I knew that being with them would offer me the comfort I needed. Although, a part of me wished they were both alive and here with me, helping me through all of this.I felt alone.I continued to jog, in a slow pace. My eyes focused on the path ahead of me. I passed the winded road, which ended up leading me down a narrow path.There was no building in sight, just trees that stood tall moving along with the blowing wind.“Isla, please go back home!” Nima’s voice came out in a panic tone. “ you remember what happened the last time you left the house.”“Nima!” I called out. “Just stop this, you’re making it seem like I can’t handle being on my own.”“With the past experiences that occurred I don’t think you can.”“Seriously!” I exclaimed. “Let me just remind you that everything that has happened to me is not because of me be
Dario’s POVI walked out of Isla’s room with the panic feeling in me increasing. Once again, I’ve lost Isla.I groaned, increasing my steps as I walked out of the mansion. I couldn’t stop thinking of where I should start looking for her. I decided to take the risk and head to the pack graveyard.It was worth the shot. I headed to my car quickly. The minute I settled in. I pulled down the windows and the earthly breeze which didn’t seem comforting blew by.I set the car into ignition, wheeling out of the driveway in a fast manner. I maintained that quickened pace, with a determined glare set on the road as I drove.“Fuck!” I exclaimed as guilt settled in my head as I continued to navigate my car down the road. The thought me not finding her crept into my head, making me shiver in my skin.‘That wasn’t going to happen!’ I spoke to myself. ‘Not on my watch!’I doubled the speed, and the wind that blew by increased. The minute I arrived at the graveyard, I didn’t hesitate to step down fr
Dario’s POVThe evening sky above us was slowly floating away as Isla and I walked to the car. I felt at peace. All my worries had fluttered away and the only thing on my mind was how to be by Isla’s side every step of the way.When Isla and I arrived in front of the car, I held open the door making sure she was comfortable before I left her side.Then I rushed to the driver’s seat, the minute I eased into the seat, I felt Isla’s eyes on me. I turned to her direction, and I realized that she was smiling widely.It was good to see her smile. It made me feel much happier just seeing that glow in her eyes. The smile on her face extended and I couldn’t help but be curious. As I started, the car I laid down my curiosity. “Why are you smiling like that?”“You!”she pointed and I squinted, it seemed she must’ve noticed the confused look on her face, because she spoke up.“Just seeing all mighty Dario, being worried is making you smile, I never knew you had it in you.”“Stop with the teas
Dario’s POVI left the dungeon and walked into the garden. The minute I crossed the greenhouse my thoughts diverted as memories of my time with Isla flooded my mind.The soft rustle of leaves, the scent of flowers, and the warmth of Isla's touch were alive in my life, but as I left the garden and climbed up the stairs, my thoughts shifted. The weight of my mission pressed upon me, driving out the fleeting memories of passion. I increased my steps, getting to my room in a flash.With a slight push, I opened the door and eyes instantly landed on Isla. She was still sleeping peacefully, with a calm expression dancing around her face. I couldn't help but pause, taking in the sight of her. Still locked in a gaze, I moved to her direction, dropping down on the bed.Isla had shifted a little, but after that quick shift she became stable. My hands which were positioned by my side moved to where hair was. I brushed it off her face, smiling hard as my eyes landed on her perfect lips.I
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
Isla’s POVI stood wrapped in Dario’s arms, with my heart racing with excitement.. Dario, had just proposed to me.It all felt surreal like none of it was true and I was leaving in the walls of my imagination, but as I glanced at the sparking gem in my hands. 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
Isla’s POV “I think I need to have my rest now.” I said standing on my feet.” Diane rushed on her feet, she headed in my direction but a loud sound which filled the atmosphere had stopped her midway.“What’s that?” She asked, moving her eyes from me to our grandmother.“Maybe something fell.” Our Grandmother said. “Those guards can be quite clumsy one almost—“The sound repeated itself this time louder than before. “I don’t think that’s a mistake.” I said with my eyes landing on Diane. 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
Isla’s POVI watched as Dario got into the car. My mind was a bit unstable but I didn’t dwell on it. If Dario could handle the first attack then I was sure he could handle whatever was thrown his way this time.I walked into the house, Grandma was waiting in the sitting room with Diane. 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. Diane and my grandmother agreed to my words, they also had a feeling that the attackers were here for something.We spent the rest of th
