“Oh my goddess! Isla. Is that you?” I grinned up at the girl standing a few feet in front of me. Aly. She wiped her forehead with her hand and gasped at seeing me. “Yeah, it is me.” She looked so happy to see me, and it warmed my heart to see my old friend. She manoeuvred around the half-stacked chairs to hug me. As she got closer to me, I could not help but see the mark on her neck. She had found her mate. Wow. Me and I certainly had a lot of catching up to do. Maybe she could fill me in on what was going on around here. “Did you miss me that much that you came back after what, five nearly six years?” Aly gushed. She was so surprised yet happy to see me here. “Oh Aly, I am so happy to see you, but I returned because Daniel said my mother was unwell. She needed to see me.” I sighed and instantly noticed how Isla clammed up. “Would you like to have something to eat?” She suddenly seemed intent on distracting me from this conversation. “Aly? What is
“Do you think this is acceptable?” Mora growled at Alpha Miller when he did not immediately defend her. She did not like how he was acting and the way he could not keep his eyes off me. Mora was jealous! A small part of me felt good about the tables being turned, she would know how I had been made to feel since the day I found out he was my mate. He had rejected me and made me feel like a worthless piece of shit. I cried for days after that, felt lower than a limbo stick on its lowest setting. They had destroyed my dreams of having my happy ending. They were the reason that I had left my life here, my family and everything I had ever known. When I had arrived at my uncles pack, I had been a right mess. But meeting Zara she had become my rock. We hit it off and became the best of friends. She was the one to make me realise that I deserved better than him anyway. The moon goddess has made a huge mistake when pairing me with him. He was selfish an
Alpha Miller’s POV Seeing her again after all this time has made me realise what I did that day was wrong. Mora may be my chosen mate and carrying my pup but the way I feel when I see Isla is a different story. She is literally out of this world. I should have never rejected my true Luna. She is gorgeous, stunning and just beautiful. I do not know what I was thinking that day, when she left Pembroke, I felt as if a huge part of me was missing. She had never accepted the rejection, just packed her things and left without any warning. If I had known then I would have stopped her and made her stay but how could I? I had already rejected her, chosen Mora as my mate and Luna. Mora was a beautiful she wolf that all the unmated wolves wanted back then. I saw how they would drool over her. Everyone loved and respected Mora, that was why I felt she was Luna material. Isla was the complete opposite, teased and ignored by many. She was treated like an omega alth
Isla POV My brother Daniel was so stupid to challenge the alpha. Miller was much more stronger and powerful than my brother. Daniel was going to get himself killed at this rate. “Stop. Now!” I ordered them. Not that it made any difference since the crowd were going wild, cheering and egging them both on. I pulled myself away from the two idiots and pushed my way through the crowd. Running through the pack house I frantically searched for my sister. It did not take long before I saw her. She looked like she were a million miles away and it was obvious she was still upset about earlier when Daniel had lost his temper with us. Now he wanted to play the big brother act like he used to. I could have handled Miller myself but something ran deeper in Daniel. He held a lot of hatred towards the alpha. “Isla, please do not leave. Stay the night. I need you here. Our mother needs you.” She touched my arm and looked at me with such a pleading look in her eyes that I cou
Cora looked straight up, and relief flooded her face the second she saw me. I noticed our mother sitting in bed, looking extremely glum. “Oh, Isla. Please, will you forgive me?” She started to weep as soon as I closed the door behind me. Cora shrugged her shoulders, unsure what to say to either of us. “What do you mean?” I queried, making my way to the empty side of the bed. “I am so sorry for suggesting that Daniel fetch you. Your uncle has been calling and calling. They all miss you back at the Eclipse.” She sighed, using the back of her hand to wipe her tear-stained face. Cora handed her a clean handkerchief and remained silent, looking at me to see how I would respond. "I want you and Cora to return with me to Uncle Ed's. There is nothing here for either of you," I announced. My mother gasped; her face turned a pale white as if she had seen a ghost while Cora shook her head. Her eyes had turned into substantial round saucers as she thought over what I had sai
I smirked at him as he looked from me to Mora. She looked like she wanted to kill me and I would be dead if looks could kill. “Well, she is not your fated mate is she? So obviously she has a mate. Do you think that she doesn’t already know who that is?” There was gasps and silence around us as I could see everyone was shocked that old Isla could stick up for herself against the mighty alpha. He was a fool to think that I would sit and take any shit. Being at Eclipse had made me stronger, the training I had every day. My uncle Ed took no laziness, there was no room for slacking. We all did our bit and worked our arsed off. Alpha Miller was nothing compared to the Eclipse. “Well, are you going to let her speak to me and you like that. In front of the pack?” Mora practically shouted causing Alpha Miller to growl. “And why is Amanda out of bed? Should you not be resting since your mate ordered the alpha to make sure that you did not cause anymore drama to yourself of the
It did not take long for me to find my mother, she was laying in her human form sprawled out naked by the stream. I immediately howled in distress and shifted back to my human form. Not caring that I was now naked and sensed that he had followed me. I rushed to my poor mother and started to cry because I was scared. What if she died? She was barely breathing and looked like she had been attacked since she was covered in cuts that looked fresh. “Isla, please allow me to help. This is my fault.” he sighed and I could see that he meant well but that did not mean I was about to give him any chance of hope with me. “Here.” he suddenly went behind a huge oak tree. I wondered what he was doing when he reappeared with a bundle of clothing. He was also dressed in a tracksuit bottoms and white plain top. “What is this?” I frowned and took the clothing that he was holding out to me. It was two dresses and some clean underwear. I glanced up at him and raised
“Where am I? What happened to me?” Our mother tried to sit up as her eyes fluttered open. She looked around the room, dazed and then the panic set in. “Why am I here? What is going on?” She started to pull at the tubes and wires off her while Cora called for the doctor. In a few moments, the pack doctor and a couple of nurses had calmed mother down with a sedative since she was freaking out and disturbing the other patients. “Your mother needs to rest now for a bit. Once she is awake, we will call for you.” The doctors said and I agreed. She would be a bit better once she had slept it off. Cora and I walked out of the pack hospital to get some fresh air and discuss what we would do next since Daniel was not coming back and if Uncle Ed head about this, he would demand I return. I could not leave my family here at Pembroke again. My mother was broken, and my sister would have nobody else since goddess knows where our father was. Not that I would want to see him.
