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
Isla’s POVI had spent like an hour staring at the card Dario handed me. I had reread the details a gazillion times, ransacking my brain on what I would wear and where I would get a nice ball dress. I didn’t really know many places around here.I stood up from the bench which I was sitting on in the garden, squeezing the envelope in my hands. The sun was setting, and I was getting tired of sitting on the bench.I was about to head to my room when I was stopped by one of the guards.“Miss, someone is here to see you.”“Someone?” I didn’t think Silvan would visit again, or maybe he had forgotten something. That was the only logical explanation. “Does the someone have a name?” I asked in order to stop my brain from drowning in curiosity.“She says she’s your cousin miss.”“Cousin?” I asked, shocked. I didn’t know much about my family, but I remember I had seen some kids that were close to my age range among my mom’s family.I didn’t like my mom’s family. They had shown me that they didn
Isla’s pov The day of the ball arrived, and I decided to go with Silvan. Silvan planned to pick me up by six. Trust me when I say I wasn’t ready; it was almost six.I dashed out of the bathroom and quickly drew my peach gown over my body. It was good that I had rolled my hair a day before. All I had to do was to get the curls out.Immediately, I was done with that, I heard my phone ring. I corked my head forward, and my eyes landed on Silvan’s name. I hurried up, removing the rollers from my hair, and then dashed out of my room.When I got out of the house, I noticed that Silvan was perched outside his car.“Wow! You look gorgeous.” He commented the moment he set his eyes on me.“Stop with the bluffing!”“I’m not kidding my lady.” He said, stretching his hands and leading me to the car. He opened the door for me before heading to his seat.I realised there was someone in the back seat of the car. She looked exactly like Silvan; the only difference was her hair colour.“Isla meets my
Dario’s POV My eyes collided with the face of the young man, which I had wrapped in my hands. He was quivering on his own; sweat beads had formed on his forehead. I was glad that I was able to put that fear in his. Maybe this would make him stay away from Isla for good. My grip on him tightened, and I glared at him, watching as he turned pale from fear. “What are you doing?” A familiar voice rang out in my head, and I froze. My anger dropped, and the realisation of what I had done kicked me in the gut. I groaned inwardly. My eyes slowly scanned the hall, taking in the shocked gazes directed at us.The feeling of eyes on me and the mumbles that filled the hall made me let go of the boy’s shirt, dropping him to the ground. I walked out of the hall, a little annoyed at my loss of control.Why did I have to lose control in that manner? It was out of line for me, but sadly, it was too late to go back on my actions. What had been done had been done. I kept on walking until I ended up
Isla’s POVI was walking down a lonely path surrounded by lush trees. Above me, the skies had grown dark, and all that could be seen were the stars spread across the sky.The rays from the moon were my only guide through the dark path, and as I walked, it seemed as though I was urged by something which made me continue walking.When I got closer to a turning, I hesitated for a second before picking up my steps.The minute I took that turn, my eyes landed on a spot that was quite different from the rest. There weren’t any trees in sight anymore, and the centre of the ground had a white glow radiating from it.At first, I stood, staring at the centre of where the whitish glow shore from. Then, something within me caused me to move closer.So I picked up my steps until I reached the centre. The white rays flashed through my eyes like a force pulling me towards it. I bent down to touch it slightly. Suddenly, my eyes began to shine, and my body vibrated uncontrollably. I felt a surge of en
Isla’s POVI didn’t believe in Brenda’s so-called girl’s night but the morning of the full moon. I had soaked myself in the bath with my all-time favourite lavender wash.I spent long hours in the bathroom, pampering myself and washing my hair. I decided to change my dress. Instead of wearing my usual gown filled with ruffles, I settled for a short mini-skirt, which I paired with a crop top. I packed my hair in a loose bun.I felt chic. With my bag swung over my shoulders, I headed downstairs for breakfast. As usual, Dario wasn’t there, and so was Brenda. I was happy about that and wasn’t in the mood for any chit-chat this morning.I didn’t really eat. I just grabbed the sandwiches and headed to the car. I was glad today was half a day, so I didn’t have to spend many hours sitting in a boring class. When I arrived at school, the first person I came across was Silvan. He was driving into the school parking lot. I waited for him to park his car, and the minute he got down, his eyes we
Isla’s POVThe drive to the park centre was oddly quiet. I placed my head out the window, looking at the lush trees, trying to distract my mind.But instead, I was reminded of my dream some days ago. Unable to make sense of it, I forced myself to stop thinking about it. Silvan kept looking at me from time to time, and I wondered what was going through his mind.Was it guilt, anger, or hate?I didn’t want to make any assumptions, but I guessed it would be the first one. The minute we got to the park. I stepped out of the car without hesitation. I didn’t wait for Silvan to open the door like he normally did. “I’m so sorry for making that move of you.” Silvan apologised again, walking behind me. “It’s the full moon and-““Silvan, you have explained this before!” I said, tilting my head to look at him. “I just wanted you to know-““Silvan, it’s fine.” I stopped him before he could say more words. “You don’t need to try to explain further. I understand everything perfectly.”“You sure?
Dario’s POV “Brenda!” The councilmen called, and Brenda stepped forward.I felt a change in Isla’s emotions. It appeared that the announcement had affected her deeply.A frown ran across my face. I didn’t expect her to feel this way since I had broken our bond. “Since when do you have the power to break a bond between two wolves?” My wolf scoffed, and the frown on my face deepened.“What do you mean by that?” I questioned.“Only I have the ability to do so, and I don’t wish to do so.” Kai shot back.“We have to let Isla go!” I pushed on. “Brenda is going to be our Luna.”“Brenda is going to be YOUR Luna!” Kai’s emphasis on yours was impossible to miss, and I could already feel a headache coming.“This is wrong! I’m doing this because of Isla, yet you’re unable to see the importance of this!”“Importance? All I see is you pushing our mate away!”“I consider my actions right!”“It’s wrong. When are you going to accept that?” Kai questioned. He was growing aggressive and less persuasiv
