All Chapters of THE ALPHA’S SILENT BRIDE: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Isla’s POV – The Dreaming VoidI felt darkness wrapping its arms around me. Perhaps the choas before now was what led me to succumb to its cold embrace. But then I immediately learned to not take things at face value because the pseudo solace I thougth darkness gifted me turned into an inferno that consumed everything in its path — everything such as me. This darkness wasn't the soft kind that came with sleep, but the kind that pressed down heavy, like soil poured over a coffin.Perhaps, it was this heavy weight that led me into the realm where delusion ruled grandiosely as king and I, the subject. Hallucinations? Maybe. How else would I explain this simmer of light I felt I saw. This light disguised as hope led me to try to fight for dear life. And so I moved my limbs but my muscles no longer followed my command. My limbs weren’t my own, my voice lodged in my throat. My senses began losing their essence. I saw nothing, smelt nothing. But I sought comfort in knowing my hearing remai

TARLYN'S POV I sat in the garden letting the breeze run through my hair. I leaned back and closed my eyes. Today was moving really slow and quiet and I hated it. I thrived off the drama and chaos this pack had to offer. I rubbed my temple and closed my eyes briefly. My eyes snapped open when two maids walked past me giggling and speaking in hushed tones. “Why would Selene do that?” One of them whispered and the other replied in a very hushed tone. “She’s jealous,” one of them said as they walked away. Their noise that had once pissed me off suddenly made me sit upright. What did Selene do? I saw a lady and a young man approaching. I got off my seat and cleared my throat. “Hey,” I walked quickly towards them. The man squeezed the lady's hand and hurried away. I watched him and rolled my eyes. I knew him. He was one of the scouts who was supposed to help find Isla. “Can I speak to you?” I asked. She looked around and rubbed her palms. “Sure.”“What’s going on? I'm hearing somethi

Chapter 76LUCIEN'S POV Selene wasn't one that scared me but I knew that right now she was grieving badly and I knew better than to take her words for granted. I watched her walk away and I couldn't say a word. I might not want to admit but she was right. My actions had since said that duty is more important than Iove. I groaned and dropped my head in my hands. What else could I do? Ignore the council? That would only lead to more problems and maybe by now I would have been dethroned. I loved Isla but I also loved my people and the least they deserved from me was a sane ruling. I ran my hand through my hair and bit down on my molars. Two moons. I was supposed to find Isla or choose a new Luna in two moons. The look on Selene's face flashed before my eyes and I sighed. Moving on with these replacements felt like placing a death sentence on Isla and burying her memories. Defying the council was tempting but it wasn't an option. Surrounding packs could already sense our weakness a

Chapter 78ISLA'S POV It had to be a dream or maybe the side effects of the herbs Sayora had been feeding me. Whatever it was was driving me crazy. I blinked quickly hoping I could blink her away but she was still there. Standing tall and staring down at me. I wanted to scream for Sayora but my voice was suddenly lost. This had to be a fever dream. I wanted to pinch myself to confirm if I was still alive but I couldn't move my hands. I lay stiff there staring at her. “Did she not tell you I'll come?”“I know it's you, Kyle,” I bit at the figure in the room. “Stop messing with my head and leave me alone.” “That’s his name. Kyle.” She spoke softly, just like I remembered her. She took a step closer and warmth seemed to return to the room. “You were in love with that man.” I swallowed. She stood beside me. So close that her dress brushed my finger tips and sent electric currents running through my body. So close that I could tell she smelled like cinnamon. “I’m sorry,” my lip

Chapter 80LUCIEN'S POV It definitely could get worse and the universe was ready to show me how terrible it could get. Yvonne finally walked in after some hours. She looked tired and worn out. Callen searched her face. “What’s the update?” His hand hovered above the chess board. She shook her head. “He’s badly injured. He suffered several injuries to the head, broke his arm and shoulders too. It's really bad.” I groaned and sunk my body into the mattress. “Who could have done that?” I asked myself aloud. “What were you even thinking?” Callen asked as he tapped his foot on the ground. “I wasn't,” I said honestly. “I was not thinking at all. I just wanted to find Isla by any means possible.”“We can't keep on making rash decisions like this and endangering our wolves.” I exhaled. Yvonne walked over to me and felt for my temperature. “I don't think it's a person,” She said quietly. “What do you mean?” Callen turned to her. She sighed.“There’s a mark on his neck. It's no
