Chapter 9

• Stefan's POV
• We walked towards the burial ground in silence. I could feel the agony she was going through. I wish... I wish I could take her away from here and make her happy... But she had to attend Elara's funeral for people to not speculate further about her involvement in Elara's death.
• Isla has always been the most important person in my life. No one else could ever come close. I don’t think anyone understands her like I do. I will never leave her side. I made that decision a long time ago. She is the reason I didn’t give up. She is the reason I keep going.
