Isla’s POVI stared at Diane blankly trying to process her words. I didn’t know what to say or how to reply. At this point, I was regretting telling Diane. I wished I had just kept it to myself. Dario was going to be so pissed once he found out. I could already imagine how he was going to feel about all this.“Gosh!” I exclaimed inwardly. “Why did I have to take this step? I should have just kept all this to myself. What was I going to do?”Actually, I knew there was nothing that I could do Diane already knew. The only option I had was to wave it off. That is if it was going to end up working but, it was worth the try.“Isla!” Diane’s voice bore into my thoughts. “You need to tell me who the father is.”“There’s nothing to worry about!” I said. “Just forget that I told you.”“Impossible Isla.” Diane said. “How do you expect me to forget something so huge?”“That’s because it doesn’t matter.”“Why are you hiding this from me?” Diane’s voice cracked. “I thought we were cousins.”Heari
Dario’s POVI walked towards Isla’s room door. The items which I had bought from my little shopping expedition were still in my hands, midway across the room I had dropped it on the floor. Then, I hurriedly made my way down the stairs.Jonas arrived at the bottom of the stairs, he had a serious look on his face which seemed to reflect the exact same look which had taken over mine. “Are we all set?” I asked, the second we got to the middle of the step.“We’re!” He replied quickly. “The guy that confessed is in the truck alongside Axel’s dead body and the rest of the men.”“Good!” My reply was short and simple. Together we made our way outside with no other words being spoken. Jonas had gotten behind the wheel when we got to the car and I took the passenger seat. During the drive, a form of satisfaction seemed to wash over me. I couldn’t wait for it to be over. To wipe off every predator that came after Isla, and finally be free to start a family with her without looking over my sho
Silvan’s POVI was seated in the midst of the elders of the cult, who happened to be holding a meeting . I was less concerned about what they were talking about, I tried to make my presence known as much as possible by a quick no, but midway across the meeting they had lost me.I stared out of the window, with a hardened look on my face. It had been days since I was released from that jail, and yet the sense of freedom which I’ve been feeling had worn off. I wasn’t excited anymore and Now my mind was focused on other bigger things, and that was—Dario. I wanted Dario to feel exactly how I felt. My eyes, which were on the window, shifted in the direction of the footsteps which seemed to be getting closer. The minute the footsteps stopped, I saw two men appear in front of me, with a grimace look spread across their faces.“Is there any problem?” My voice was cold, and the look on the men’s face changed as they appeared scared. “Weee…have..news..” they had pointed out, stuttering as t
Isla’s POVI trembled, with no words left in my mouth, my grandfather looked annoyed, very annoyed like he was going to hit me if I didn’t talk, but there was nothing I could do. I had to keep quiet.“Fine! So you’re not going to talk.” Gran—Gran pointed out. “I’ll have to call Dario then.”I watched as my grandfather removed his phone from his pocket, then he adjusted the device in his hands. My heart thumped wildly as I stared at him.“Dario!” He said with a firm voice. I closed my eyes as I knew the words that would spill out next. My eyes which were closed shot open, the moment I heard my grandfather speak up again.“I need you back at your mansion now!” With that being said, he ended the call. I was shocked by his words. I expected him to hit the nail on the head, and tell Dario right away that I was pregnant but I guessed he was waiting for Dario to arrive before he broke the news.I was lost in my thoughts, that I was unaware that he had spoken up again. It was the feeling
Dario’s POVI couldn’t stop thinking about the reason why Isla’s grandfather had called, my mind was a mess as I navigated my car down the road. Did he want to discuss what we had talked about before or was it something more?I increased the speed in which I drove, and when I finally arrived at the mansion, I didn’t hesitate to step down from the car.As I hurriedly walked to the entrance, I noticed that there were other cars parked outside. Pulling my eyes away, I stepped into the house, and my eyes landed on Isla’s grandfather, Diane’s parents and Isla’s grandfather's second son. Diane was also standing by their side.I could feel the tension in the air, as I moved close to them.“You have finally arrived.” Isla’s grandfather said with a lot of edginess in his voice.“We have been waiting for you!”“Where’s Isla?” I asked in a worried tone. The fact that I didn’t see her around them made me worried. Did something happen to her? If something had happened to her I could never forg
Isla’s POVI watched as my grandfather left the room with the others following him behind. My mind was focused more on his words as I tried to process it . What did he mean by only me having the power? I turned to look at Dario, and from the look in his eyes. It was clear that he was trying to process the words that my grandfather had said, and as I stared deeper into his eyes. I noticed something strange, well it wasn’t strange. That look in his eyes displayed that Dario wasn’t trying to process what my grandfather had said. He knew exactly what he was talking about.“Dario!” I called after him, without wasting any time. Curiosity had descended on me, I wanted to find out what he knew.Dario looked in my direction, he maintained eye-contact with me, breaking it off the instant I spoke.“Do you understand what my grandfather was talking about?”He was quiet, like he was thinking of the right words to say or probably he was trying to put his words together.“Dario!” I called out hu
Isla’s POVThe next day, Dario and I had breakfast together. It had been a while since we did,and it felt so good. Dario had even insisted that he was going to make me something special after I was done with my toast. I wanted to refuse but before I could speak he had left my side and headed to the kitchen.“Another special meal for a special lady!” Dario said, dropping another plate of food on the table.“Dario you didn’t have to do this.”“And miss you having something sweet in the morning no way.” He chimed.“So what is this?” I cooed, staring at the plate in front of me, after having toast I thought I wouldn’t have any room for more food but staring at this somehow opened up my stomach.“This.” He pointed to the food. “Is going to knock your taste buds off .”“I doubt that.”“Try it and see.” I followed his words, and with my folk I cut a piece out of it, then I shoved it down my throat.Surprisingly, it was delicious, just as Dario said it would be. I tried to hide the fact
Dario’s POV“It doesn’t end there.” Isla’s grandfather said. My eyes turned to Isla and her gaze was placed on her grandfather, that she didn’t notice that I was staring at her.My eyes flickered away, when I heard his voice picked up, in a rather rouged tone.“Isla holds the power to make and break things.” He said. “That is why the one with the power of the moon is supposed to remain pure and chaste, otherwise, they would lose their powers and would even cause bad things to start happening to the people around them.”“And now with this pregnancy and the things that have happened between the both of you, the chaos that awaits us.” He continued. “Is so much greater than you could imagine.”My heart skipped a beat as I heard his words, chaos. I believed that there was a way out of all this. Isla’s grandfather had known about the prophecy for years, surely he knew what to do in this case.I peered his way. “Isn’t there a way out of all this?” I spoke with concern.“Things can’t just—”
