Dario’s POV I pulled out my tongue after a while, standing up quickly. I couldn’t wait to be between her walls, to claim her and make her mine.Kai seemed to be feeling the same way as the eagerness which was increasing within me, had the same effect on my wolf. “Get on with it!” Kai growled, and I rendered no response. My eyes travelled in Isla’s direction; She was indeed a work of art, every part of her from her perky breast down to her hips. I was mesmerised, but it seemed she was getting eager.She wanted me just as much as I wanted her. I could feel a force pulling me in her direction. It was surely the connection between her wolf and mine that was behind this synergy. That had to be the only logical explanation.I wanted to take things slow, to savour every moment and mask it in my memory, but Kai wanted none of that. I could barely see past the desire at this point.This fueled my desire, causing me to increase the pace at which I was pulling off my trousers. I placed my hand
Dario’s POV My hands were still tightly wrapped around Isla’s body. When suddenly, I heard her whimper softly. I adjusted my head to get a good view of her face. Once, I did I smiled. She was fast asleep, a sign that I had tired her out. My eyes lingered on her for a while, taking in all her features as though that was the first time I had ever set my eyes on her.Then suddenly, my mind drifted off to the girl that had captured Isla. I tore my eyes away from Isla, and before I did that, I placed a kiss on her forehead.She responded with a slight move, and for a second. I thought she would pull her eyes open, but she didn’t.I carefully detached myself from her, untangling my body once I was done. I got up from the bed and walked slowly towards the door.Occasionally, my eyes wandered in her direction, but I didn’t get the privilege once I had gotten to the door.I took one last look at her before pulling open the door. I walked in the direction of the room where Kate was held, an
Isla’s POV I stirred in my sleep, flickering my eyes open. My hands slowly ran down my body as yesterday’s event replayed in my head like a broken record.I couldn’t believe it. I felt like yesterday was nothing but a fragment of my imagination. It was all too good to be true. As I shifted my hands down my body, the slight pain I felt made me realise this wasn’t a dream.“It’s a sign you had a good night!” Nima had said.“It’s more than a good night. It was the best night.” I responded.“Someone is floating on cloud nine!” Nima said. “You’re also feeling the same way,” I said casually.“You will be surprised when I say I am happier than you are. The bond has been sealed. Kai and I are going to be inseparable.”I smiled. Nima was happy, and so was I. Everything felt perfect. I was about to stand on my feet. When I heard the door open, it was Dario.Surprisingly, he was all dressed up, and the minute his eyes landed on me. His face lit up.“You’re awake!” He said, his brows arched i
Isla’s POVDiane kept dragging me up the stairs, and the second we got to the top floor, she turned to face me.“I was worried about you; when Dario informed the pack that you were gone, everyone was on their toes.”I doubted her words after the chaos I had caused at the full moon. I didn’t think anyone would care much about my disappearance, but I didn’t say what was brewing in my head. I just stared at Diane with a calm look on my face.“I’m glad you’re back, though.” She said, unbothered by my quietness. “Immediately I heard you were saved and you were heading back. I rushed over here to prepare you a bath.”“That’s nice of you!”She rolled her eyes, “I’m just doing a very cousin-ly thing.”“Are there more cousinly treats afterwards?” I questioned, batting my eyelashes.“Don’t push it!” She warned with a fake stern expression.I flashed a smile her way.We kept on walking, and when we entered my room. Diane directed me to the bathroom. She had done quite the setting-filling the ba
Dario’s POV I managed to keep my eyes away from Isla during the whole ride, but my mind kept wandering in her direction. I couldn’t shake the feeling off my chest, but I had no choice. Isla was my goddaughter.I was meant to protect her and keep her safe. It was best I kept my distance and stopped whatever was brewing between us.The worst part about everything was despite my trying to keep that distance, I realised it wasn’t going to be easy. Isla was like a drug, and my soul desperately wanted to feed on her—or Kai, in this case. At the mention of his name, I heard him speak.“You just had to do it again!” Kai said. I wasn’t surprised by his words. Of course, he would attack me. He was never on my side when it came to Isla.I didn’t bother replying to his words. I had gotten out of the car, and my mind was focused on checking on Katherine. “Don’t you ever get tired of hurting her?” He continued speaking. It was clear that Kai wanted me to say more words. My wolf’s eagerness could
Dario’s POVI stormed into my mansion with my face stern, but my heart was telling a different story. It was beating rapidly in my chest as the thought of losing Isla ran through my head. I didn’t know if I could handle losing her again.“You fear losing her and still push her away!” Kai said, sarcasm dripping from his tone.“How ironic?” He added in spite. “This isn’t the time for this, Kai!”“Probably, if you didn’t push her away. This wouldn’t have happened.”I felt guilt run through my brain. Kai had stopped talking, but once again, his words were resonant.I was about to climb up the stairs when Jonas approached. He had a disturbing look on his face, and the guilt running through my veins intensified.“Is there any news on Isla?” I questioned him, watching his face and searching for a change in his expression.“I saw Isla head out with Diane!” His words had stopped the guilty feeling running through my veins, and for a second, I felt a form of relief.“Why don’t you call her?”
Isla’s POVDario’s words had caused my body to stiffen. It also seemed to have awoken me because my partly shut eyes stared at him.An embarrassed look ran through my face, and immediately, I untangled myself from his arm. Dario seemed to have gotten the memo because he dropped me down on the ground.I began to walk ahead of him when I heard him speak. I halted my steps as his words bounced out arrogantly. “You shouldn’t have just left the house in that manner.” He scolded me. “Why do you always have to take action without thinking?”“I’m sorry!” I said, hoping my words would prevent him from yelling, but I was very wrong.“Your words aren’t going to cut it!” Dario spat at me. “You are willing to put yourself in danger when you’re clearly aware of the fact that whoever sent Katherine is out there somewhere.”Behind Dario’s barks, I could feel a drop of melancholy in his voice. I felt a little bit guilty for just leaving. Dario had every right to be mad. I couldn’t blame him for feeli
Isla’s POV I stepped inside the meeting hall, and the councilmen all rose, bowing their heads to pay their respects to Dario.They moved their eyes in my direction, and a look of sympathy flashed across their faces. Their eyes swerved from my direction to the door when they heard it open.I moved my eyes away from them and noticed that the guards had entered with Silvan, Katherine and their parents.Silvan avoided my face as usual, but Katherine had a feisty look on her face; she didn’t feel any drop of guilt.“That brat!” Nima cooed. “Unleash me. I want to rip her head off.”“Let’s wait for the men to do their jobs,” I told her. "They would pass on a good judgment.”“I think mine would be better.”“Just relax.” Nima was quiet after this. Silvan and his family were pushed to the centre of the room. All eyes were on them, and from the looks on Dario’s face, he was feeling just like how Nima was. I felt like he wanted to rip their heads off.The eldest man stood up once Dario had sat
