Isabella's POV.I think the adrenaline was too much for him as he knelt there for about a minute, staring at me with wide eyes. I could swear that he would never have expected me to demand such a thing from him, and from the way he was looking at me, he was completely blank."Elliot," I called out to him, bringing him back to reality, and he finally let out a breath of relief before asking in a rather surprised tone, "I am sorry, did you just ask me to repeat what I said the other time? Please, if this is some kind of trap to test if I am going to still say something like that, I beg you, Luna, I cannot say it. You promised that you were going to cut my head off if you ever heard me say such a thing again, and now you want to tempt me to do it. Please forgive me, pardon my ignorance," he begged me, but I did not let him finish before I walked over to him and grabbed him by the neck.He certainly began to choke as I placed him back on the couch before releasing his neck."Do you think
Isabella's POV.Immediately Darius left my room, leaving me in the cold without a word to me. I instantly began to hate him. I hated him so much that I wanted to hurt him at that instance. I spent the rest of the day in my room thinking about the way I was going to get back at him. No one had ever hurt me the way he did, and he did not even have some concern. I was always so cold and unapologetic, but it was because I faced a lot of trauma growing up, and I did not want anyone's dominance over me. For what Darius had done, I was going to teach him a lesson. a lesson that he was never going to forget in a hurry , or maybe never live to remember.I could feel the power rising within me and the fury in my veins. I was so angry at that moment that my temperature began to rise so quickly, and at some point I could feel the heat. It was because of Darius; he had treated me like some trash, and now I was going to make him know what being trash feels like.I lay on my bed looking up at the ce
Isabella's POV.For the rest of the days I could not help but keep thinking about what Darius had said to me about not loving anyone at all, not even me. I knew that our relationship had not always been the best, but I never expected him to be so blunt when telling me to my face that I had no place in his life and he was only letting me be there with him because I was kind of useful with the powers that I had been able to get."I am doing the best I can to find Jessica, and you are not giving me a breathing space as you keep trying to intimidate me recently. Do not forget that I am the one who holds the magic, and I can do whatever I want with" I said to him, giving him the same amount of threat as he came closer to me."I would love to see you try, Isabella. You think I am foolish? There was something I did not tell you after all." He said, Come closer to me, and I wondered what it was that he was talking about. I stood up from the edge of the bed where I was seated and began to take
Darius's POVIf it was true that Isabella expected me to in any way love her, then she must have only been imagining things because there was no way I was going to have any feelings for her, and the fact that we were together ruling Ashmont Park was under an agreement to help each other. She had thrown herself at me several times, but she just was not good enough, and the only reason she was there by my side was because she had some kind of magic that was helping me get my way through things.Listening to her sound so ridiculous made me want to laugh because I saw the way she seemed rather desperate."Snap out of it. Isabella, this is nothing. We're only doing this because we have mutual interest; do not think that it is ever going to amount to anything." I said to her and was about to turn around to leave when she asked."Then what happens when you no longer have need for me?" Tell me, Darius, what happens when you no longer need me?" She asked me in a rather desperate tone, and I tu
Darius's POV.When Arnon left with the soldiers of the pack, I was not sure of the kind of feedback I was going to be getting from them because deep down within me I knew that Ryan was not going to be careless and that he might already be somewhere so far away that we might not be able to get to him again. I invited Isabella into the council room to know if there was a way that she could do some kind of magic that was going to help us locate Ryan in no time. The thought of having to let him go after all of these things that he had caused to the Ashmoon Pack was something I did not even want to bear, and I knew that the only way I could heal myself of the anger that was eating deep in me was if he were caught and punished. Ryan was a very stubborn one, and the fact that he had been able to stay alive all of this time was something that was giving me so much worry. I wondered why I had not, on several occasions, gotten rid of him and been done with him.He was my brother, but that broth
Darius's POV."Where is Ryan?" I asked, moving my gaze from one of them to the other as everyone began to turn simultaneously, looking for Ryan in their midst. It was at that moment that it all began to make sense because at that instance I noticed why such an incident occurred in strategic areas in the Ashmoon Pack, as no one else among them except Ryan and Arnon had such knowledge of the pack or knew how to orchestrate such a thing and make it go so perfectly. I am not going up in the Ashmoon Pack, and I had been the alpha of the pack for a very long time; he knew his way around, and he knew how to put up such a plan in a way that he was not going to be suspected; however, his absences just proved him guilty."Where is Ryan?" I asked again, and this time my voice was louder than before as I suddenly stood up from the seat where I was seated, and at this moment I noticed that everything was silent. Ryan came to the pack with a strategy to do this and then disappear immediately after
Darius POVThe air at the Ashmoon Pack was hot as everyone kept trying to find cover from different areas that were born in high, eye flames. One could tell exactly what had caused the flame as it kept going higher, despite how we tried to quench it. I had asked Isabella to use her powers to quench the bush; she said she could only evoke something like that but could not quench it.At the point I began to think that she was the one who had evoked the flames, maybe without intentionally doing it, and that was the reason it was not quenchable."Just hope that I do not find out that you are the one behind this, Isabella, because you're really going to pay for it. We both agreed that your powers were so great that you would help us win. All of the things that trouble here in the Ashmoon pack and make it the greatest pack of all, but look at what is going on now." I said to her angrily as we walked into the alpha chamber."How many times do I have to tell you I did not cause this? The fact
Jessica's POV.I knew that Ryan was genuinely concerned about me, but I had lived my old life in guilt, and every day I was hoping that I was going to atone for all of the mistakes my luna Shadow curse costs me, yet it keeps piling up and making me make greater and greater mistakes every single time. Just when I thought that I was doing better, I found myself doing far worse than I ever expected I was going to do, and it was eating deep down into me.Every day I thought I could ever become better than I used to be, but I found myself doing even worse, and I did not want it to happen anymore. At that moment when Ryan revealed that to me, I felt like being dead was going to be better than being alive and putting a lot of people into such misery.However, Ryan was not going to agree with it; he was never going to want me to think about it, and that was why I needed to wave it off and take a chill pill. I mean, I had completely agreed that I was worth living with, and all of those things
Ryan's POV.I was staring at Jessica when she asked me the question because I knew that it was going to come to that if she ever came to know what we sacrificed to make sure that she was safe at the Ashmoon Pack. Seeing the way she was so terrified, I could not help but believe that she had faced a number of threats to her life if not for the necklace that we were able to get that would protect her from Isabel's spell.I hated seeing her like that, and that was the reason I was very grateful when Murphy said he did not want a word of it to be mentioned to her because I knew he was doing the best thing. However, Jessica always had her way into my head, and I just did not know why I had to tell her about it when I should have kept it secret and insisted that I was not going to say it."I'm not going to tell you something no matter how much you beg me to. How could you ask me such a question? Are you out of your mind?" I asked her as the anger began to rise in me, as I was very angry at
