Dimitri Zane (P.O.V.)
I was pulled into a conversation and was so engrossed in pretending to listen that I did not notice when Isla left the room. I looked around and saw Adelina was gone as well. I did not want to go into hyperactive mode and overthink the possible scenarios that could be playing out right now, so I kept my cool and got off the couch before I walked outside to see what was going on.
When I got outside, I looked left and right for them but could not see them in the immediate distance, so I decided to start walking in hopes that I would find them eventually.
I approached a cliff like area, that overlooked the forest below and gave a perfect view of the moon and the stars. In the distance I saw two figures sitting on the ledge. It could be Adelina and Isla.
I walked closer to the figures but be
Isla Kalashnikov (P.O.V.)Dimitri and I were almost at my house by now and the silence between us was deafening. I could not stop thinking about how much has happened within twenty-four hours and the day has not even ended yet. I could not decide what I was going to tell my foster parents and how I was even going to break the news. It saddened me to think that I will be leaving them for a parent that was absent all my life when they have been more than generous to me, when they did not have to be.It was not Adelina’s fault that she was absent my entire life, but I am just taking note that I am not their biological child, yet they chose to spend all of their time, effort, and money on me growing up. I did have a couple questions for my foster parents, and I could not wait because I anticipated their response so much.“How are you truly feeling about everything?” Dimitri asked.I sighed heavily.“Honestly, wh
Isla Kalashnikov (P.O.V.) “I am sorry honey, but I do not do well with disrespect, especially when it comes from a commoner who is trying to claim something that does not belong to her.” I handed my mother off to my father and the walked to the couch where my father comforted my mother. “Adelina, what are you doing here?” “I just came to ensure you got home safe and I see that you did. These must be your foster parents. Do you mind introducing me to them?” “I mind. Now leave.” “Is that any way to speak to your mother?” “You are not my mother, she is.” I said and I pointed to my mother who sat on the couch sobbing. “I am your biological mother.” “You are nothing to me. Get out!” I screamed at her and slammed the door in her face. I turned around to go over to my parents to ensure they were alright, when I bumped into a figure. It was Adelina. Of course. “You need t
Isla Kalashnikov (P.O.V.)Either Adelina is stupid, or she forgot I have the hearing of a werewolf and vampire combined. I sat in my room and listened in as she threatened my parents.What is her deal? Why does she want me so badly?Clearly it is not just because she is my biological mother. There is no reason for her to hate on the people who kept me safe all these years while she was absent from my life. There is no reason for her to be this clingy, as I was willing to visit her every chance I got. She is the link to my past and holds the answers about my ancestry and where I came from. I spent all of my life not knowing who I was and all of a sudden, I am learning that I am apart of a prophecy that is crucial to the unity of all things supernatural.I know what I have to do.“I will b
Isla Kalashnikov (P.O.V.) I checked my father’s pulse to ensure he still had a heartbeat before I stood up and rushed out the door. I am not sure how to get to the realm as I have only been there once, but I was certain I would figure out a way to get there.I entered the forest and began retracing my steps, though I felt as if I was walking blindly. It was late at night by now, and the forest seemed haunted. I am sure coming out here alone at this hour was not the smartest idea, but I had to speak to Adelina. I have not been taught yet, on how to use my abilities, so I was stuck with my werewolf at the moment and only my vampiric state when I am mad.I was angered but not to the extent that I would need to turn off my humanity to access my vampiric side.I felt as though I was deep in the woods by now because I was unable to make out any nearby cars or people. Just as I continued walking, I heard some leaves rustle, but I paid no
Adelina Kalashnikov (P.O.V.)I waited until Isla was gone and I glared at Laila and Orin. I casted a spell around us so that Isla would not be able to hear the conversation from upstairs.“What were you about to tell her? What do you know?” I asked.“We do not have to tell you anything.” Laila said, stepping behind her husband who got into a fighting stance to defend his wife.“I suggest you start to share your little secrets because I am growing quite weary of this game that you are playing with me. Spit it out.” I grabbed Orin by his throat and lifted him off the ground. I am done beating around the bush with these people.I could tell that Isla would be a while upstairs as I figured she had a lot of things to pack, so I was not worried at all about her walking in and finding her parents being beaten to a pulp.“Tell me what you know now.”“I would rather you kil
Dimitri Zane (P.O.V.)The past few hours that I spent with Isla has been so much fun for me. For once, I was able to go a day without embarrassing her or making her mad at me. I reunited her with her biological mother, and she is beginning to warm up to me. Not only would she probably date me now, but I will be able to have her all to myself for my own use. As I pulled into my driveway and parked the car, I thought about texting her to let her know how much fun I had and to maybe ask her out on a date, but I figured it would be too soon for that, so I did not. I got my house keys out and walked up to my front door to unlock it. As I was about to turn the key to unlock the door, I realized it was already unlocked.Strange.The downside of being a dragon shifter in a town full of humans is that I am unable to protect mysel
Isla Kalashnikov (P.O.V.)I felt depressed. Since I got back to the supernatural realm, I could not sleep or eat. Considering it is almost midnight and my day was really eventful, I am surprised I am not asleep right now. I could not get my mind off my parents, and I know it has not been long since they left, but just the thought of knowing I will not be seeing them again, has got me missing them already.Adelina was already in bed. When we got back to the realm, we decided that I would put away my things in the morning as it was already late. Before going to bed, Adelina stated that she wanted to ensure no one would break into the palace to try to get to me so she placed guards outside my bedroom door. To be honest, I think she placed them there to ensure I did not run away. She is not wrong.Now that my parents are gone, and we have no idea where they are, there is no use in me staying here anymore, but I figured that I may as well just give t
Dimitri Zane (P.O.V.) I was freaking out as I thought about the possible reasons why Isla’s room was empty, and her parents were missing. I visited her home to see what was going on so that I can assess the situation myself since I did not trust anything that spewed out of her mate’s mouth.When I got to her house, Adelina’s scent was everywhere downstairs. I went up to her bedroom to find all of her drawers open and her things were gone. There were no signs of struggle, but as I went back downstairs, I noticed that there were scratches on the floor. I knelt to take a closer look at the floor. The scratches looked like someone was dragged and it made me wonder.Is everything okay? Where are her parents?She did not sound distraught through text, so I did not think that something happened to her parents but what if something did happen after she left home.I had to get to the bottom of this. There is no way I can
