54:Isla’s POVAs I arrived at school, I immediately thought about how to confront Silvan.This was going to be awkward; I sighed as I contemplated how to handle the tension between Silvan and me that has become so evident in recent days.Well, when the guy you thought has a sister who hates you and even goes to the extent of kidnapping you, things just don't go back to normal between you guys, do they?I hesitated before stepping out of the car, opting to wait until the school bell rang, granting me a moment of respite from the eventual awkwardness that clouded our interaction.When I finally made my way to class, the timing was uncanny; I entered just as the teacher did, his eyes lighting up with a spark of recognition as I crossed the threshold.I quickly averted my gaze, his attention feeling like a spotlight on my every move. Quickly, I made my way to my seat beside Silvan, and I noticed how his face lit up when he saw me.Surely, he wasn't part of his sister's plan, right? I had
Isla’s POVWe stepped outside of the school building into the yard, and the cool afternoon air was a welcome relief to the chaos of the classroom.Silvan let go of my hand and looked at me with pleading eyes. He tried to open his mouth to talk, but it seemed like the words got stuck in his throat.“Come on, talk to me. I won't bite you,” I said, though internally, I added, if I do, however, ever find out you had a hand in this, you're gonna receive hell more than just a bite. “I… I'm so sorry, Isla,” he began, his fists clenched and unclenched as he became a nervous wreck. “I had no idea Kate would do something so treacherous. I would have come to your rescue in a heartbeat if I had known.”He paused, catching his breath before he continued. His gratitude continued to pour forth like a torrential downpour.“I also want to thank you, Isla. You believed me even though any normal person in your position wouldn't. I promise I'll do everything I can to make it up to you henceforth.” He co
Dario's POVAs I strolled towards Elena's parents' house, I couldn't shake the sense of apprehension gripping me. Despite their reservations towards Isla, they always treated me with respect, a gesture of goodwill rooted in our shared history. But today's visit held a deeper significance than our usual encounters. I knocked at the door, and the door swung open almost immediately. Diane Monroe stands at the entrance door. Surprise is etched on her face as she probably hasn't expected my visit.“Alpha Dario, this is a surprise, come in.” She said as she led me inside the simple abode. Entering their home, I exchanged polite greetings before broaching the delicate topic of Isla's recent pheromone releases.“I just had an urgent matter to discuss with both of you. I won't take long.” I reply as I make myself comfortable.“What do you have to discuss with us Dario?” Mr Monroe, Isla’s grandfather, steps into the living room with a guarded expression on his face. "Mr. and Mrs. Monroe, I h
Dario's POVAfter speeding through the traffic and breaking a lot of traffic laws, I finally arrived at my destination. As I drove towards the academy, my mind buzzed with anticipation, eager to reunite with Isla after our brief separation.But as I approached, a sight that ignited a flicker of anger greeted me: Isla was talking to Silvan, and she broke up the conversation and walked hurriedly towards my car. What the actual fuck. My jaw clenched with frustration, my wolf snarling at the sight of another male so close to her. Pulling up beside her, I flung open the door for Isla, my expression darkening as she climbed in. I close my eyes and take deep breaths in order to calm down and not let my possessiveness get the better of me. I leaned in towards Isla, and a surge of desire coursed through my veins like a raging inferno. The sight of her, so close yet tantalisingly out of reach, ignited a primal urge within me that I struggled to contain. With each passing moment, the magnet
Isla's POV"Please love me now," I plead, feeling like I've waited an eternity for this moment. But as his lips start kissing the nape of my neck, all tender and gentle, I realise that the wait has only intensified my desire.His left-hand releases mine from its confines above my head, and they find their place perfectly on his shoulders as if they were always meant to be there. Each kiss he drops on my body makes me moan and wither, his touch leaving me mildly wet and craving more.As he pushes my shirt down my shoulders, I turn away, facing the window, suddenly feeling shy and vulnerable in my nakedness. Sensing my uneasiness, he inches closer, the robe barely clinging to my elbows, barely covering my modesty.Throwing his t-shirt to the backseat, he grips my waist firmly, pulling me towards him until our bare bodies are pressed against each other, radiating heat and desire. I turn my head slightly to meet his gaze, my mind racing with hundreds of thoughts and desires. Bending my
Isla's POV The afternoon sun cast its warm glow across the landscape. Dario and I lay in the car's back seat, entwined in each other's arms, the remnants of our passionate lovemaking still lingering in the air.“I want us to drive to the west wing of the forest at the back of our house,” he said as he kissed my forehead."Dario, what was this about going to the west wing?" I inquired as I let out a yawn, a hint of confusion and tiredness tingeing my voice. "It was time to see your wolf in the daylight, without the moon's influence," Dario explained, his tone gentle yet firm. "And the healer would be bringing the potion later, so you'd need to make three runs."I nodded, but my eyes threatened to betray my tiredness. “Sleep, Isla, I'll drive us there. I'll wake you up when we get there.” Dario kisses me again as he puts on his shirt, goes to the driver's seat, and starts the car.I looked at him lovingly, and then a wave of tiredness hit me like a wave and immediately fell asleep.
Dario's POVSapphire, the healer, arrived to meet us in the forest. She brought the potions I requested with her, and she handed Isla a potion to drink.Hopefully, this works. A sense of anticipation coursed through me; she drank the entire vial of the potion. I immediately began to notice a sharp decrease in the strength of her pheromones. “How do you feel Isla.” I was curious to know how she felt after drinking the entire vial.“I feel warm inside. Apart from that, I feel nothing different.” I nodded; however, I did make an observation. Despite the waning strength of her pheromones compared to the day of the full moon, they still exuded a potent allure, drawing the attention of nearby guards and stirring unrest among them. "We should test the effects of the potion with a run," Sapphire suggested, her tone eager, but I shook my head firmly. "No, it's too risky," I replied, my voice laced with concern. "We can't afford any leaks." Reluctantly, she acquiesced, {Jonas, escort
Isla's POV As we ran together, the wind whipping through my fur, I couldn't shake the feeling that there was something missing, something more that I needed from this bond. It wasn't enough to simply run side by side with Dario. I wanted to feel the depths of our connection and experience the raw power of our bond. Why do I suddenly feel this way? I thought as I continued to run with Dario by my side. And then, as if in response to my silent plea, Dario suddenly stopped and returned to his human form. I followed suit, my own transformation accompanied by a surge of adrenaline and anticipation. But as I stood before him, my breath coming in ragged gasps, I felt a strange sensation wash over me. It was as if someone else was guiding my movements, dictating my actions without my consent. I instantly figured out what was happening—Nima wanted to take control. At that moment, Nima's presence seemed to overshadow my own, her instincts taking precedence over my own desires. An
