Isla's POV

The sounds of honking cars and bustling crowds caught my ears as I exited the taxi. The city was alive, and as I gazed out over the city skyline, I couldn't help but marvel at the skyscrapers that seemed to stretch into the clouds.

“It is beautiful,” Nima commented, and I smiled widely. Indeed it was, and I couldn’t wait to enjoy my time here.

I kept walking farther, absorbing the city's landmarks. As I walked through the city park, I could hear the distant sounds of traffic and the chatter of people in the nearby cafes. My eyes landed on a path that seemed quite familiar. I walked down that lane, and I was directed to a garden that I hadn’t seen in years.

I found a corner to sit in, and it was quite quiet until Nima spoke up.

“Maybe we should stay here forever and never return.” Nima’s voice bore into my mind.

I laughed. “Sounds like an offer I would love to partake in,”

“Nice.” Nima said, “It would be good, and you would be able to forget about Dario.”

    Isla’s POV “Aren’t you dead?”The manager’s words hit me like bricks. I couldn’t believe he thought that I was dead. Probably, that was what was going around the city after my father’s death; that I was wiped off along with him.I sighed, and then I took one good look at Jarek—who looked like he had seen a ghost. I saw him blink twice, digging his fingertips into his arm. He was quiet, and the only thing that could be heard was the sound of his heavy breathing, which could be heard even with the loud music.“How are you here?” He asked. “It’s impossible!”There was something suspicious about Jarek’s behavior. I knew that he thought I was dead, but then a part of me felt as though he wished I was dead. Just seeing him turn white had made me curious. Then it hit me: Jarek had handled the company after my dad’s passing, and since he assumed I was dead. He did what he wanted with it. Now that I had returned, it meant I would take everything from him.‘This bastard!’ I growled inwardly, a

    Isla’s POVI got up very early the next day, I had scheduled a meeting with the lawyer and I didn’t want to miss it. The chilly morning air , made it difficult for me to get in the shower so I just threw a coat over my body glancing at the mirror to see the condition of my hair.“Not bad!” I said out loud, adjusting the edges with the side of my hand, before heading downstairs. Everywhere was empty, and the person behind the receptionist desk wasn’t the same person I saw yesterday. It was a man, that was stationed there this time and he had a dull look on his face which made it seem like the last place he wanted to be was here.‘Poor guy!’ I cooed inwardly, flashing him a smile when our eyes met. When I got outside the hotel, the lawyer was just arriving. He had a broad look on his face as he came down from his car. The minute his eyes buried in his glasses collided with mine, they lit up. He extended a warm smile my way and a hand too.“Miss Isla.” He called out, his voice firm and

    Isla’s POVThe minute the taxi pulled up in front of me. I rushed inside, slamming the door quickly.“Whoa, slow down, miss!” The driver said in an alarming tone. “Getting that repaired would cause a fortune.”“I’m sorry.” I said, easing into the back seat of the car. I looked out of the window hoping I wouldn’t see any sign of Dario.“Where are you heading to miss?” The sound of the driver’s voice caused me to look in his direction. “The 7th Street.” He nodded, and I looked outside the window.“Do you think, it is actually Dario?” Nima’s voice stirred within my head.“Who else could it be?”“You know he isn’t the only wolf that can track you.““I’m aware of that, and I’m also aware of the fact that. He’s the only person who knows about my father’s business. He has also partnered with the people my father did business with.” I said firmly. “He knows that I’m here. Probably, he even has sources informing him about my whereabouts.”“And what of it It isn’t Dario?” Nima asked once again

    Dario’s POV I walked down the silent corridors with bloodshot eyes. The stillness reflected the turmoil within me. Each step echoed a discordant beat due to my disturbed thoughts. Emotions swirled within me,and my composed demeanor dropped. I hadn’t slept well in days. I was restless. When I passed a window, which showcased my reflection. I slowed down my steps, catching a glimpse of myself in the mirror. My furrowed brows spoke volumes, displaying the frustration dwelling in me. My hair was sticking out of place, not that I was bothered by it, but it added to the fact that I was angry. I picked up my steps, walking faster. As I traversed the corridor, my mind replayed the fruitless hours spent combing through leads. The days were counting, and still nothing was forthcoming. No news about Isla, not even a clue. What if I never find her? “Never!” Kai jeered within me. “That’s a low way of thinking coming from you.” “What do you expect me to do, Kai?” I said. “Everything keeps le

    Isla’s POVIt was a dream! A bloody dream! I was feeling different emotions running through me. Then those emotions died when I remembered everything Dario had put me through. I sighed, heavily standing up quickly. My eyes flickered to the side of the room where my bag laid. I needed to go, and I also needed to put my feelings aside.“Good!” Nima’s voice filled my head. “I’m glad you got your senses back.”“The dreams really did stir up emotions within me.”“Emotions?” She scoffed. “The dream stirred nothing. It was already there. You still miss him and you still want. You may as well wait for him to find you.”“I don’t think so!” I said walking towards the bathroom, “my dream just brought up mere sexual desire. It was nothing, and I wouldn’t wait for him to find me.”I was about to pull open the bathroom door when I heard my phone ring. I remembered that I had messaged the lawyer yesterday. Probably he was the one calling. I ran to where my phone was and when I picked up my phone

    Isla’s POVI sat in the dimly lit restaurant for awhile after Nicholas had left. My gaze wandered, tracing the patterns of the tablecloth as I took the last sip of my drink. The amber liquid swirled gently in the glass, as I moved it in my hand. The clinking of cutlery and murmurs of conversation filled my ears, but I paid less attention to it as the event of the day replayed Inmy head.“So this is it!” Nima jeered within my head. “The end!”“You’re speaking like it is the end of a show or something.”“Feels like it.” She said. “So what’s the next plan?”“Fleeing, I’m saying goodbye to the city for good.”“I hope this adventurous Isla is here to stay.”she said, growing quiet after. I hoped so too. I was loving this part of me.I eased into the chair, with the glass still in my hands I brought it close to my lips. The atmosphere was serene,and beautiful sadly I would be saying goodbye to it soon.I took one last look at my environment before dropping the glass in my hand-on the ta

    Dario’s POVI navigated down the plain road covered by towering trees. My mind was preoccupied as I thought about Isla. I was hoping this lead would end up linking to her. I didn’t want it to end up being another dead end.As those thoughts crossed my mind,I was shocked that Kai didn’t try to lecture me on what is right nor did he try to attack me. He was awfully quiet and it was a good thing.I turned my head to look at Jonas, who had been glued to his screen for a while now. He must have noticed that I was staring because he raised up his head to look at me.“Any news?” I said once our eyes met.“Just the usual.” He replied. “No response.”I tore my eyes away from him, placing it on the road ahead of me. I reminded my self to stay calm, and have a bit of hope.The minute the car passed, the sign board announcing our arrival into the city. The towering trees that surrounded us, was replaced with buildings merged at each corner. “This place would forever be a shit show.” I said out l

I was unaware of the woman who was behind me until I had heard her speak.“Sir! This is wrong!” She called out, I glanced her way for a second, placing my eyes back on the room in front, of me, which was empty.“I’ll tell the guards to kick you out!” Her voice rose, and I turned to look at her again. “I will pay for the damages.”I looked towards Jonas, who got the hint immediately handing the woman my credit card which she took without hesitation. The woman seemed satisfied but she didn’t leave my sight, she remained glued, her eyes shinning with curiosity as I moved farther into the room.I tore my gaze away, placing it back on the room. What I found inside reduced the shivers that ran down my spine. There was sign of an attack, the bed was neatly made, and everywhere was intact. I moved deeper, and I saw a bag perched beside her bed.‘She was

    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

    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

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

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

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.
