Adrian's POVI poured water on my face again, wiping my face clean again. But it failed to wipe out the kiss from my memory.My mind kept replaying the kiss with Isla the moment I got back to my room in the pack house from the back mountains. It wasn't planned, nor was it a proper kiss. It was needy, rough, and urgent, as if I was possessed by someone. But it was me and my jealousy. The guilt from it gnawed at me.But underneath that, guilt was something far more unsettling. Desire. An attraction. Some weird feelings.I wanted to kiss her again, and this time, I wanted to savor her soft, plump, luscious lips. I wanted this kiss to be gentler and meaningful, and even affectionate."Admit it! You have fallen for her," my wolf said, its voice echoing in my head. "The mate bond is irresistible.""Shut up," I growled back. "I haven’t fallen for anyone. Elara just died, and you think I fell for Isla?""Keep telling yourself that," my wolf scoffed."I am just confused. They look the same," I

Isla's POVI rushed to Adrian’s side, tearing a strip of cloth from my shirt to wrap around his leg. Blood soaked through the makeshift bandage immediately, but I had to do something. I had already given away my only medicine to Lucas.I could feel his eyes on me the whole time, watching me closely. I didn’t dare to meet his gaze."Why did you rush like that?" I muttered, "Why didn’t you wait for backup?"He groaned as I wrapped his leg. "Didn’t think I would need it."I shot him a glare. "Well, clearly not considering..." But before I could finish, Adrian’s hand grabbed mine, stopping me."Why were you out here with Lucas at night?" His voice was sharp, barely containing his anger. His eyes burned into mine, demanding an answer.I stiffened, trying to pull my hand free. But his grip only tightened. "I wasn’t with him. I was chasing the shadow," I replied, frustration rising.His gaze didn’t soften. "So how was Lucas with you? Do you think I am stupid, Isla?"I shot him a look. "Mayb

Isla’s POVI pressed my palm over my face, avoiding the sun's rays, shifting slightly on the rough floor of the cabin. I woke up in a daze, rubbing my eyes. I realized I wasn't in my room. I blinked, my heart racing as the memories of last night crashed over me. I blushed, feeling flustered."What have I done?" I contemplated in my mind, gulping hard, covering myself with the thin tattered shirt lying next to me.Adrian’s bite still tingled in my ear. The mate bond had taken over, pulling us together despite everything. I looked around and saw his tall frame leaning against the cabin door, his back to me, rigid and distant. Any warmth that the bond might have brought was quickly snuffed out when I saw his denial and frustration.The silence was deafening, making me even more nervous. I opened my mouth, but I couldn't quite figure out what to say. But before I could formulate any sentence, his cold, emotionless voice cut through the silence.“I won’t publicly acknowledge you as my mate

Isla's POVI was on my way to the hospital when I passed by a flower shop. I looked outside and felt like getting a bouquet for Lucas. With this, my visit would look a little less selfish. As soon as I stepped inside, I spotted a familiar figure near the back of the store. Chloe moved gracefully through the shop. But before I could call out to her, she moved upstairs."Chlo…" I was about to follow when the shop owner appeared beside me with a warm smile.“The lovely young lady looking for something special today?" she asked, a little too generously. I wasn't used to being addressed like that.I hesitated, glancing toward the staircase where Chloe had vanished. “Just a bouquet of... carnations?" I replied, still distracted. “That was Chloe right? Does she live here? I saw her go upstairs."The shopkeeper’s smile widened, her eyes radiating with warmth and love. "Oh, yes. Chloe is my daughter.""We are classmates," I explained, though it felt odd saying that when I realized how little I

Isla's POVAfter a heavy discussion about the herbs and the murders and learning more about both the herbs from Lucas, I knew Nightspire Bloom wouldn't be easy to investigate. But Mandrake... that was the center of it all. Well, that should be our primary focus."Mandrake. Let's start by finding out who has been buying these secretly. Maybe then, we can have our answers..." I sighed.He gave me a small, tired smile. "Just... be careful. You know how dangerous this can be. Whoever is behind this seems to have their eyes on you now."I nodded, knowing the weight of the situation. Honestly, if I hadn't been dragged into this situation, perhaps I would have stayed in the corner like always. But now, I had to go to the bottom of all of this to clear my name.That's when my eyes darted outside the window, and I realized I had been there for a while now.I stood up, feeling a little uneasy. "I will visit again soon. And I will update you on everything. Just focus on recovering."I was about
