POV Isabella Di'Giotanno
A week has passed, and my wolf has become silent. After her last sign, she has not spoken to me again. I even think I dreamed it, making this whole situation cause me a deep anxiety. Damn wolf!
My birthday is tomorrow, and today is a full moon. I am very nervous because I know that my life will change drastically. They say that the first shift is very painful, and being almost eighteen, I am mentally preparing myself for that level of pain.
"Today is a full moon. Are you nervous?" Asks Eric."What do you think? Dah!" I tell him a little annoying."Wow, what a bad temper you have today. I hope your wolf is nicer than you, "Eric says, huffing.I whiten my eyes at Eric, while I stick my tongue out at him. He tells me in a serious tone, looking me directly in the eyes "Don't stick your tongue out at me. Otherwise, you want me to do something naughty with it.""What?" I say it, confused.
"Forget it!" Eric replied.
"Here they were!" They say entering Luna Ayme, alpha Patrick, and my mother.
"We must talk Isabella." The alpha tells me, staring at me.
"Today is a full moon, and it is very likely that your first shift will be today," says Luna.
"Yes, honey, we want you to stay outside the pack house. If you go into the forest, we won't be able to protect you enough." says my mom.
"Protect me?" I asked, looking at the alpha with a hint of fear and concern.
"That's right, Isabella. It's just a precaution. Because we don't know what your shift will be like, things may happen at the environmental level, or nothing may happen, and it will be like a normal shift. We must be prepared in case someone or something wants to cross the border." Says the Alpha.
"But will I be with all of you? I mean, will they all see me naked?" I asked, embarrassedly worried.
"Isabella we will be around. You will be alone with Claire. Do you agree?" Says the Alpha again.
I look at them all nervously and bit my lip, then I tell them "If you think it's the best... Eric, will you also be with me?""If you want me there, I wouldn't be anywhere else. I will be with you, holding your hand." Eric tells me reassuringly.
He tells me this, looking at me with his eyes wide open, showing me infinite concern and something else that I can't decipher."Well, it's decided. Claire, come with me; we must get the warriors' shifts ready since we will all be busy tonight. It will be a long night." Says the Alpha again."Yes, alpha. I'll be with you at dusk darling. I love you so much, my little girl." Says my mom.
"And I love you too, mom." She kisses me on the forehead and leaves after the alpha. I sit in the kitchen lost in my thoughts.
"I'll go too Eric. I have to get everything ready here for tonight," says Luna Ayme. As she kisses her son on the forehead and gives my hand a loving squeeze. She is so lovely.
"Okay, Mom." says Eric.
Luna Ayme leaves the kitchen.“A penny for your thoughts? Are you okay?”, Eric asks me, visibly worried.
"Oh? Yes, is just, I'm... hum... Worried."
"It´s normal that you are worried, but you are not alone, Isabella. You have an entire pack that loves, respects, and cares for you. Everyone is worried about you." he said.
"Really?" I asked with surprise."Of course." he replied. "When dad told the warriors about your first shift, they all applauded and congratulated your mom. Your mom couldn't get enough of pride. They said that this pack was so blessed by the Moon Goddess, with a wolf with gifts, which would allow peace to be brought to our world. And what better she-wolf than you?""But Eric, what if my wolf is normal? Everyone waits for her to be extraordinary."
Eric approaches me and takes my arms, staring at me, and says "So what if it is normal? It's yours, and that's more than enough. You will always be more than enough. Do not forget it!"
I blush at his words as I reply "Thank you for always being here for me. You always bring out the best in me."
"And you bring out the best in me," he said.
"Ah! that´s so cute! Now tell him that you love him and stick your tongue up to his bell!" says the unknown female voice.
Confused by the words, I say "What?"
Eric replied "What? What Isa?"
I ask, "Did you say something?"
he said, "I have not said anything."
The unknown female voice says, "Well, what do you think, obviously I'm the one talking, silly! not you!"I panic, and I scream "Ahhhhhhhhhhh!" Eric shouts, "Ahhh! what's happening!"I said "My wolf is talking!! She's talking to me!" and I start jumping and dancing from one side to the other. Eric looks at me in shock, while he said "Wow!! Ask her name.""What is your name?" I ask.She replied "My name is Aika."I said to Eric, "She says her name is Aika."Eric replied, "Aika? How cute. I love it! Do you know what it means?"I think for a moment and then I respond curiously, "No, but do you know?""It means love song," he says.Aika replied, "Wow! Not only he is hot, but he also has a brain! Girl, I'm telling you, we have to keep him."Embarrassed I asked out loud, "Aika, what are you saying?"Eric looks at me confused as he replies. "Huh? What things does she saying?"II realized I spoke out loud, so I replied "Hum, nothing worth repeating."Aika took my words as a provocation to what she replies, "Coward"I replied out loud to Aika, "Shut up!"Eric surprised by my answer, asks me "Am sorry?"I touch the temples of my head, while I tell him, "Oh no, Eric, this is so confusing."He laughs at what I said while he says "Ahahaha, right. I better leave you two alone. Aika, I'd love to meet you tonight. I look forward to it."Aika, all excited, answers him "I'm looking forward to running my tongue all over that glorious body."I, horrified, say out loud, "Aika!! Down girl!"
Eric gives me a big smile and kisses me on the forehead. I must admit that I have always found his smell comforting. So, when he gets closer, I inhale deeply.Then I look at him again and see him smiling at me, with his eyes shining with affection.Aika says, "Admit it that you like him."I responded out loud surprised and embarrassed, "What?"
Eric gives me his beautiful smile as he says, "Goodbye, ladies... " And so, Eric leaves the kitchen.
"What am I supposed to admit exactly?" I said.
She replied, "That, you like him."
I said, "Well, no, we're talking about Eric."
She said, "AND?"
I replied, "And that he is my friend."
She asks again "AND?"
I answer, "And that we live together."
She asks again "AND?"
And I answer again, desperate for her questions, "And that I have known him all my life."
She replied, "AND?"
And at this moment, I just think, Goddess she's so annoying! I said, "Aika, you are unbearable!" I tell her, moving my hands quickly.
"It's a good thing that I live inside your head then..." She says it winking at me.I replied, "Isn't having a wolf supposed to be something cool?"
She answers me with a mocking tone, "Well, it is, and others would love to have a wolf as cool as me."And I respond sighing, "By the goddess... What awaits me!"If you like the history, please leave a gem. Thank you very much for supporting my book ♥♥♥
POV Eric Lafallete It's almost midnight and Isabella's shift is imminent. Soon we will see the worst of a transformation and the best, what it is when the wolf emerges. We are waiting outside the pack house for the clock to strike 00:00. Mom has prepared everything inside the house, clean clothes, and food. Dad is patrolling, along with our best warriors, the borders. He fears that Isabella's transformation may attract rogues or other beings we don't know exist. The arrival of a Di'Giotanno wolf, as the story tells us, is a blessing, but it also means that something very bad is coming. Dad is very altisonant when he says it. He and Claire have been making preparations in case of an attack, at any moment. I feel very flattered that dad trusted me. Every progress or preparation he makes with Claire, he shares with me via mental link. Of course, this means that my nights of sleep are almost none, but it gives me peace of mind to be able to know the offensive and defensive strategy of the
POV Isabella Di'Giotanno Goddess, how it hurts!! I felt like I was being torn apart a thousand times in a second! It's amazing what the human body can do. My body shattered into the most incredible wolf I had ever seen. And she's mine. I am very curious to know why the moon goddess sent me such a wolf. Aika is big. She-wolves are not that big. She's only slightly smaller than Anouk, and that's an overestimation. It is completely white, and the tips of her fur are the color of platinum. Her eyes are a deep, bright blue. She is exquisite. I said, “Aika?” She replied, “I was finally able to tear the veil, Isa!” I tell her totally surprised, “Wow. Seriously, you are so beautiful!” She replied, “We are beautiful Isa... Never forget it.” Eric clears his throat as he calls her. “Aika?” She responds flirtatiously. “Hi Eric. I can finally meet you.” Aika speaks to Eric as if she were a human, moving her mouth. Then I ask her, “Aika, how can you do that?” She replied, “Aww Isa. There ar
POV Eric Lafallete Watching Isabella shift has been the most impressive thing I have ever witnessed in my entire life. Aika is a wolf from another world. Apart from the fact that she is not the size of a regular wolf, it is almost the size of Anouk, and this beast is indeed big. Her white fur with her platinum tips, her bright blue eyes, take my breath away. Every day that passes I believe that Isabella is made for us. She is perfect for us in every aspect. If only she could see it too! I asked Anouk, “do you realize what she bet? She wants us to ask her to do whatever we want!” He answers me annoyed, “Yes, I heard her, I was there, your empty head!” I respond in a threatening way, “Hey, control that big snout of yours Anouk, if you don't want me to take control over you.” He answers me, with a mocking voice, “Is that a threat?” I respond with my cold and threatening voice, “It is a warning.” Anouk bursts into laughter as he mockingly tells me, “How well I have taught you! I'm s
POV Isabella Di'Giotanno Once we transformed, Aika requested not to talk about responsibilities anymore and just wanted to take a walk. Feel the earth in your paws and the wind in our fur. But then, Aika couldn't think of a better thing than to bet against Anouk. What the fuck was she thinking? Damn horny wolf! I tell her very angry, “Damn, Aika... I still don't understand why you bet that. Anouk will find us, and we will be history!” She answers me calmly, “Calm down Isa! by the Goddess! You know what? You and I have to talk. The Moon Goddess made us extraordinary. I told you a while ago, there are only very few things we can't do. Losing against Anouk is not one of them. We can camouflage our smell. It is one of our many abilities that we have. But I will not do it. I refuse to do it.” If Aika wanted to make me angry, well congratulations, she did it! “Tell me, please, your highness. Why tell me you can do something and then tell me you won't do it? What the hell is happening to
POV. Eric Lafallete At last! Isabella admitted that she loved us! My heart gives no more happiness. I always believed that she was the one for my life, and I was right. I thank you, Moon Goddess, for sending into my life the most extraordinary she-wolf that could exist. I swear to protect her, respect her, and love her for all my life, until my last breath. I promise to give my best at every moment. I promise to be my best version to live up to my beautiful beloved. I hope that the Moon Goddess illuminates our steps, takes care of us, and protects us from the hidden forces that exist. Isabella tells me with her trembling voice, “Okay Eric, turn around. I trust you.” I told Anouk with a stern voice, “don't look at her. We promised we wouldn’t, and I don't want her to stop trusting me. Now that she has told me she loves me, I don't want to do anything that would make her doubt my intentions or change her mind.” He nods while saying with a military salute, “Understood!” I approach an
POV Isabella Di'Giotanno. We arrived at the pack house in silence. The path was calm, without incident, since as the forest was guarded by warriors, they made sure that no one was lurking around. Eric squeezed my hand the entire ride. When we entered, the entire house was illuminated. When I look around, I realize that all the servants in the house are gawking at me. I asked, annoyed, “What? Do I have something on my face?” I look everywhere waiting for an explanation. He looks at me totally amazed while saying, “Wow babe! You look incredible!” I frown as I tell him, “What are you talking about Eric?” Eric looks at me with total devotion on his face as he tells me, “Come! Look!” Eric takes me to the mirror that is built into the wall at the entrance of the house. There, I stand contemplating my reflection: my brown hair is now an ash blonde, almost white with waves that go down to my waist. My hazel eyes are now emerald, green. My tan skin is now white as snow. “Damn! Aika, what t
POV. Eric Lafallete Hearing Prince Alec's name makes my blood boil. I'm absolutely sure that the only reason she's calling my father is because of Isabella. Alec is a fucking son of a bitch. He just wants to conquer. He is not interested in loving, at all. He believes and uses women for his own benefit. Maybe it's because of how old he is. The experience, that's what he said. My ass! He is arrogant, who would do anything to win. Now, when everyone knows that Isabella is a convergent wolf, he will want to possess her. I fear for her safety, for her well-being and that Alec, that damn bastard, will claim her. I just need her to be okay. Whatever the cost. I just need it to be okay. Hell, it's been two hours since she accepted me and now, I'll have to fight the world to keep her. Anouk nods as she calmly says, “You should have more faith in Isabella Eric. She loves us and she will not leave us. She already feels the sparks and she already said it, the mate bond affects her differently.
POV Prince Alec Tassara It is a strange custom to think that royalty has its happy ending. I've never met one. Since I was born, everything has translated into duty. My father, High King Constantine, is a tough man. He has never been a loving father, not even when my mother was alive. My mother, Queen Clarissa, passed away giving birth to my little sister. I still remember my father's roars of pain. He tried to skin himself alive and gouge out his eyes in agony. They were able to save only one. Her death increased its harshness. Together, with my two brothers we were raised for excellence. My brother Adair, he's just like me. Everything must be efficient and optimal, otherwise it is not worth investing our time and worry. My little sister, Azahara is our nemesis. By the goddess, how problematic she is. My father is about to lock her up in the dungeons, so she won't get into any more trouble. She has been expelled from three boarding schools and is not yet eighteen. We were all surp
