Isabella's point of view After the pack training ended, I retired back to my room to take a warm bath. I quickly pulled off my clothes, racing under the shower as I let the water drain from my head down. It was refreshing, but not close to the run I had with Gemini earlier on.I stared at my reflection in the mirror, I couldn't help feeling sentimental. I was identical to her, seeing my reflection was a constant reminder that I was a Santacruz. I was indeed my mother's daughter.I traced my hands on the black crystal pendant that hung on my neck, the same one my mom gave to me before she was killed. I never took it off not even for a minute. I swore to never take it off because she wanted me to protect it. This was something she warned me my aunt Delilah would come for and I would be lying if I said that I wasn't curious to know what it was.I have done countless research to find out what was this black crystal my mom gave me to protect but there wasn't a single book that could tell m

Isabella's point of view "Huh? What was that you just said again?" I asked Iris, hoping she would repeat what she just asked me, I won't deny that I wasn't paying attention to her. My mind was completely elsewhere, well you could say that for the past few days my mind has been cast away in a vertigo haze.I couldn't think properly and It was all because of him. Ever since the kiss during Iris's initiation ceremony he has totally been avoiding me.'quit overreacting.' my inner thoughts scoffed. I knew I wasn't 'overreacting'. He was avoiding me and I know it.He was barely ever seen around the pack and whenever he was around, he was unavailable. Like this was his pack and he has a duty to them to keep and he was neglecting that. I knew I said I was going to forget and bury any trace of feeling I had for the cold Alpha but somehow knowing he doesn't want to see me hurt."I said, you fixed back your bracelet. But clearly you seem to have something else troubling you, what has been going

Warning***Steamy scenes ahead***Isabelle Point Of View I kiss him with all my heart. It feels like my chest is about to explode from all the emotions inside me. His lips feels so right on mine. I can't help but moan as he deepens our kiss.The words that he just confessed to me almost make me lose my mind. I can't believe that he never wanted anybody else like he wants me now. I raise my white flag and submit myself completely to him. This was what my heart wanted.The heart wants what it wants and It just wants me to be lost in his arms. Right at this very moment. I pull away from him to say. "Dimitri," I rasp, my breaths still short from our electrifying kiss. He looks at me frustrated after I interrupt our kiss, like he can't live a second without it. He locks his eyes with mine, searching for something, as if trying to figure out what I'm going to say."I'm sorry." I whisper. I shouldn't have done what I did in the club, it was so stupid, it was clear as day now how he felt fo

I winced as rays of the morning sun tickle my eyes awake. When I open them, the first thing I notice is Dimitri missing. Was last night only a dream? I thought, an amazing dream. I get dressed in his long black shirt, which stopped right on my thighs. It felt really so intimate wearing his clothing.I trudged out of the room. Dimitri's safe house was quite bigger than I had realized yesterday. There were countless and of doors that led only god knows where. I finally stumble upon the kitchen, my eyes darts on the topless figure that stood there. Dimitri was preparing breakfast, and by the smell of it, it was good.But something else gets my attention, it was a large tattoo at his back. It was a tattoo of a blue butterfly. My stomach ties into a knot.'Its him?' I thought 'He is the one mom told me about, the man with the butterfly tattoo.' I think back about the dream I had about Dimitri, I remember his words "What you seek is seeking you." This was what it meant, fate was trying to

Dimitri Point of view"Alpha, the lunar eclipse energy can be felt like no other. This will be the last eclipse before the eleventh blood moon, I am afraid of the devastating dark tides it will bring." Celeste told me with the fear dominating in her voice. The lunar eclipse was just two days away and even I could feel its energy calling out to the darkness within, feeding it. It was going to be harder to control Cessair. That was the name that the darkness that I was cursed with preferred to be called."How about the lead we found with the shamans to break the curse?" I asked looking up at Lance, he also had a look of disappointment written all over his face."It was another dead end. Alpha I fear that our only hope is Luna. According to the prophecy she would be our salvation, we have to believe that.""Or our destruction. I say we find another way." Alaric said. I was growing impatient with his loose tongue, he needed to learn to show respect to my mate or I will have to teach him.
