Isla's POV:I had slept late last night thinking about what Melinda had told me. But there was no way I could help Alpha Caden as she had told me because he wasn't interested in me other than trying to get an heir. Also, I had to keep so many secrets to myself. Firstly, that I was a contracted breeder to him, then that I was Luna and now, the fact that I was a healer. This was such a mess and I just wanted to have a normal, peaceful life. After taking a shower, I quickly made my way to the pack hospital. Alpha Caden had worked last night in his office and he wasn't in the chamber even in the morning. That was a relief but deep down I wanted to see him. To hear him speak. I shook the thoughts out of my mind as I got closer to the cabin and saw Doctor Adam penning down something on his notepad. I knocked twice to ask if I could enter. His face lit up as he saw me, " Good morning, beautiful. "I was caught off guard with his change of behavior and gave him a weak smile. "Good morni
Alpha Caden's POV:"This is the tenth female we found on the borders. " My Gamma Sebastian said, covering the dead body with a cloth. I rubbed my forehead at the sight and the urge to find the one behind all this wanted me to hunt him down. "I don't want the eleventh woman to die. I can't let any crazy man prove that I am incapable of protecting my pack! " I shouted, my eyes turned fiery yellow. My beta joined the meeting too and I carefully read all the investigation papers my men had sent me after a proper patrolling. The borders were guarded and everyday there were around six to ten men looking all for any danger. Yet, the women from the Pack were getting brutally murdered and kidnapped right under my nose. 'Calm down, we will find and execute the traitors. Anyways, the perfume she gave us is really nice and I am in love with it. 'Ezekiel said. I growled and snarled, ' It's not that special I just used it because... 'All of a sudden I couldn't find a reason why I accepted he
Isla's POV:If I hated anyone the most right now, it would be Alpha Caden without any second thought. He was full of arrogance and didn't leave any chance to scare me. I felt so bad about Adam being involved in the difficult situation when he was just doing his work. I didn't know what I wanted from this fake bond of ours. But I surely was not a cheater. "I just hate him! " I shouted loudly in the empty chamber. Someone cleared their throat behind me and I froze out of fear. Slowly, but cautiously I turned my head to know who it was. But I couldn't recognize the person, her sweet smile gave me a good feeling about her presence. "I am sorry. I should have knocked first. " She smiled and I realized that she had heard me. "That's fine. " I could say. She walked closer, " I am Theressa. Actually, Doctor Adam sent these roses for you. He will be waiting in the hallway to the party for you. "I noticed the bouquet of flowers in her hands. Roses. Red roses. I loved their scent and she
Isla's POV:The smile didn't leave my face even after half an hour as I was talking to the maids who were busy arranging for the party till now. I had decided to leave the Chamber early so that I wouldn't do anything supid. Something had gotten inside me because I was no longer that scared of him but my body wanted his touch all the time. "You look really beautiful today. '' This was the tenth maid who had complimented me. I passed her a genuine smile and sat with them as they arranged the glasses and tried to learn more about the party and especially the rich and powerful guests. " This is the first time Alpha Caden has invited the Alpha of Black Moon Pack. We have so much rivalry and yet maybe the Alphas are trying to create a new friendship bond between the two packs. " A maid said, filling the water in the ice containers to keep it cold for the party. Another one added, " Yes, exactly. Even the widow Luna of the red moon pack is joining tonight. " They gasped at her mention a
Isla's POV:I didn't like how I was now the centre of attention as Alpha Caden continued watching me even when most Alphas greeted him and congratulated him. And someone was more furious by this, and the attention I was getting. Luna Fae. Her teeth clenched angrily and her high heels clunck against the floor as she walked closer to Alpha Caden. "Happy birthday, Caden. You are aging like a fine wine. " She had the same smirk on her face like the one she used on other Alphas. She looked like someone who was trying her luck on every men in the party and hoped someone would give her a chance. 'She's a master of flirting and seduction. 'Riley growled. For now, Alpha Caden took his eyes off me and said nothing to her. I was almost hoping to get a kiss from him but he looked behind me and waved his hand. Just a swift nod and he left Luna Fae standing there. She reacted as if she was his mate and he had just disrespected her in front of so many guests. And then, she rolled her eyes at
Isla's POV:I jumped in the other direction in time and escaped it's sharp fangs by a second of time difference. I crawled on my all fours to the path leading back to the party hall. I tried to outrun the wild wolf but it was faster and aggressive. He caught on me with just a single jump and I crashed on the ground, hitting my face. "Help! " My screams echoed in the open place and I saw one soldier watching me and then he ran towards me. The wolf was unbothered by the man and when he tried to pull the sword in his chest, the wolf caught him by his head and threw his head less body in a corner. His fangs tore my dress and I could feel the sharp teeth piercing in my skin drawing some blood out. He growled and grabbed my arm in his mouth and dragged me behind him like a rag doll. 'He is too powerful for us! " Riley shouted. I struggled to free myself from his grip and continued shouting for help. Tears blinded me but I saw the shadow of Alpha Caden running to me from the hall. He
Isla's POV:I woke up to someone shaking me in my sleep and rubbed my eyes to find Melinda sitting beside me. She looked so concerned and devastated by everything. "I heard about the attack. I can't believe that bastard tried to hurt you. "I sat straight on the bed and she gave me a pillow to use as a support, which frankly I didn't need at all. The healing had changed me and gifted me with new strength. I touched my mark and it was gone again with just an outline of it in the spot, indicating its presence. "Well, that bastard lost his life too. " I laughed. "Yes and I saw how Alpha Caden took you in his arms. Gosh! That was so romantic. "I giggled like a little girl and hugged myself thinking more about him. His scent lingered over me and excited my wolf. I was still wearing the same dress from the party and knew that I should change into something casual. "I am happy he came at the right time. You know the wolf was so crazy and wild. His eyes were different as if somebody had
Isla's POV:After his announcement, Alpha Caden was gone from the chamber for the rest of the evening and night too. My anxiety was palpable as I contemplated the impending training session. The Alpha had always been strict and demanding, but recently, their anger had reached new heights. I understood the importance of giving my best in order to avoid further provoking the Alpha. The thought of angering them more sent a chill down my spine. Determined to excel, I took it upon myself to prepare diligently. There were enough books in his chamber which I could go through. I read the training manuals, seeking any advantage I could gain. With each passing hour, my determination grew stronger, fueled by my desire to prove myself and to find a way to gain the Alpha's approval. I knew that by showcasing my dedication and commitment during training, I could potentially quell the Alpha's anger and establish myself as a valuable member of the pack. Alpha Caden did come back later at night and
