Isla’s POV The minute I transformed, I felt a strong pull toward Dario’s wolf. It was like a magnetic force drawing me close to Dario’s wolf.I didn’t understand why that feeling seemed so resonant. I wasn’t meant to be feeling this way. Dario had broken the bond between us. So why were such emotions soaring within me?“You’re feeling this way because the bond hasn’t been broken!” Nima responded.“What do you mean that the bond was never broken?” I asked once again. “Dario had severed the bond between us in his room. How is that possible?”“It was never broken, Isla, because if it were, you wouldn’t be feeling such a way.” “So that means I’m still connected to him?”Nima hadn’t responded. In fact, she was very quiet. However, I replayed everything in my mind. If Dario never truly broke the bond, that would change a lot of things. I wondered if Dario was aware that the bond wasn’t broken. And if he was, how did he feel about it? I also wondered how long he had known about the bond
Isla’s POV My heart raced as I stood frozen, witnessing Dario in action. Dario’s muscles rippled beneath his fur as he moved forward. His teeth bared, claws unsheathed. The moonlight danced on his dark fur as he let out a haunting howl that echoed through the night. The men in front of me looked devastated. Their faces twisted with fear. The air crackled with tension as they took a step backwards. I felt a strange mix of terror and awe, watching Dario defend me with ferocity. His growls sent shivers down my spine, and the men fled, frightened by the raw power before them. My eyes locked onto Dario's at that moment. I noticed he was facing me. He transformed back to his human form. My eyes widened as I saw that he was naked. “Damn!” Nima had exclaimed. “That’s meant to be yours!” “This isn’t the time for side comments Nima!” “Well, I can’t help it; just look at him.” “I’m trying not to,” I said in an edgy tone. “But he’s partially your mate. You have every right to stare.”
Dario’s POV“The moon goddess must have made a mistake. How can she create such a level of perfection within one human being?” I mused internally as I drove Isla back home.I couldn’t take my mind off how perfect she was in her wolf form and human form and how her perfection had lured all the men in her direction.It was crazy to admit, but she was an undeniable force that had started to pull the strings of my strong demeanour. I have been fighting for control over myself since I sat with her at the meeting. And even when I thought I had been able to conquer those emotions growing within me. It felt like all my attempts were in vain. Just being close to her on the drive back home was like torture. I felt like I couldn’t control myself. I hated that Isla had that effect on me, and I also hated that she also had that effect on other men.I groaned, and then I tried to divert my mind from her, but that seemed to do nothing. My mind kept replaying what had happened earlier and how I ha
Isla’s POVI was touched by the concern and worry in Dario’s eyes. It had been a while since I had seen him this way.The sound of Dario’s voice made me pull myself out of my thoughts. I looked at him before I shut the door, then locked it just as he instructed.Immediately, I locked the door and windows. My mind wondered what had happened that day. It had been a crazy and scary day.Every single event that occurred seemed to replay in my mind like a broken record. I dropped down on the bed, then I placed the items in my hands beside me, lowering myself on the bed.My eyes were on the ceiling now, and I stared at it, with thoughts jumping in and out of my head. I tried to unravel the mystery of my pheromones.This was the first time something like this happened, even during my first transformation. It never occurred, so what happened?I sighed, cracking my brain, for some answers didn’t come so easy; in fact, I didn’t gain any answers at all. So I decided to ask Nima.“Nima, do you ha
Silvan’s POV I was driving everyone back to the house, and the silence was deafening. It was strange that no one had said anything after what had occurred in the park, not even my sister.I turned my gaze towards the mirror, hoping to meet her gaze, but she seemed lost as she stared out of the window.My attention was placed fully on the road until I heard Katherine speak. “Why are we going back home? That was her, right?”I held onto Katherine’s words. She was referring to how Isla’s wolf had gotten the attention of every male.I was certain that she was the one too, but I remembered what had happened earlier, the way she had moved away from me when I had tried to kiss her. My heart was dampened at that thought.The sound of my mother’s voice forced me to tilt to the side, getting a glimpse of her stern face.“Not another word, Katherine.” She said in a firm tone. “We will discuss more about it at home.”My sister growled; I was sure she would have stomped her feet angrily if we we
Isla’s POVI woke up the next day with yesterday’s event far from my mind. I felt a lot better, and it seemed Nima did too.I was about to get up from my bed when my phone beeped with a new message.I stretched my hand, picking it from the drawer. Then I tapped my phone screen. There were many notifications on them, and I opened the first one—a message from Silvan. I hope he didn’t send a message regarding what happened in his house. While I now had Brenda, I wasn’t ready to ruin the friendship we had both formed already. As I saw the content, I let out a breath I didn’t know I was holding.‘Isla, I hope you’re fine.’I replied and also checked in with him. While waiting for his reply, I checked the other messages I had. Who could it be?“Probably some men from the park who were mesmerised by your beauty.!” Nima spoke up, and I scoffed. I didn’t want to be reminded of yesterday’s incident.So I ignored her and then clicked the message.My eyes widened the minute it landed on the me
Isla’s POVThe next time my eyes open. I felt a sharp pain in my head and rubbed my hand behind my head, trying to ease the pain. My body swayed to the familiar motion of a car, and the realisation that I wasn’t in the front door of Silvan's house hit me. I was tired, and the sound of engines roaring caught my ears. Clearly, I was in a moving vehicle—someone had captured me. I didn’t know where I was headed or who had done this to me. The thought of something bad happening after this collided with my mind.At that point, I decided to reach out to Nima,“Nima!” I called out, but I got no response. “Nima!” I said again, but she didn’t say a word. I was beginning to grow worried, and my worries skyrocketed the moment I realised the vehicle had stopped.What was going on? “Nima!” I called out. “This is the right time to act before we both reach our demise.”Nima was quiet once again, and the fear in my heart only seemed to grow. I didn’t know what to do. I felt helpless and weak.
Dario’s POVI promised myself that I was going to get to the bottom of everything, but first, I had to settle things with the council elders.I wasn’t surprised when I got a late-night invitation from them. I was in the study packing up the essentials I needed before I set out when the messenger had arrived.The sound of a knock on the door caused me to lift my head slightly, “Who goes there?” I demanded.“Your Highness. It’s a messenger sent by the council elders.” The sound of one of my men caught my ears, and I sighed before responding.“Let him in!”The door was opened, and the messenger stepped in.I didn’t give him a chance to speak; I already knew why he was here. “Tell the elders I will be visiting in the morning.”“Your Highness, their reasons are rather—““I’m fully aware of what their reasons are. Just let them know that I would be visiting tomorrow morning,” I said to him. “Now leave!”He bowed his head and left. I left quite early, heading to the town hall where most of
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
