Chapterw 11!!! Funny chapter huh? In this chapter, we see the super crazy side of Isla. Hope you all liked it. Oh and, Isla finally meets her ex!!!! /// P.S: it’s not Shrill-voice, it’s Frenchie!
{Cayden’s POV} The Mansion was quiet. The wind was still. Everyone was silent. I was dazed. I had walked into that Revel Hall feeling proud and confident. I had prepared myself to see the Lord Alpha. But I had seen his daughter. I had seen the Reignile Princess. I had seen Isla. The daughter of the Lord Alpha is my mate— was my mate. How could I have been so blind? So… so stupid! Royalty had been with me, under the same roof as me and I had treated it like insignificance. No! This isn’t real. That couldn’t have been Isla standing out there, looking so colorful and graceful. It couldn’t have been! It had to be her twin or a clone. Yes, Isla must have a flawless double of her who happens to be the Lord Alpha’s daughter. But then again I knew it had been Isla out there. Those fiery Hazel eyes and that perfect smile couldn’t be mistaken. They don’t lie. Isla, the Alpha Princess of the Reigns? I had nipped myself a million times, drowned my head in water a thousand times,
{Cayden’s POV} “Don’t you dare use the word silly with me!” I bawled, my muscles stretching as I glared at Ivanka. “But, baby.” Her once rigid voice immediately melted into a placid one. “You’ll be leaving me behind if you accept this Promotion. I can’t live without you.” “And, I’m out!” Daniel shot to his feet, grabbed the grape juice he had brought but hadn’t drunk, and beelined for the door. He was out. It was only Ivanka and I now and I grew irritated wondering why she was suddenly acting this way. “But we both wanted this, Ivanka.” I reminded her even though I knew she didn’t need a reminder. I mean, we’ve fucking discussed this like a hundred times. “Our Packs’ alliances made this happen!” I continued. “As a War General, I would have the elemental power to take our Pack to revolution’s peak. GreyHill will be unstoppable!” “I know, I know, my love.” She tied her fingers around mine and shot me a blue face as she settled beside me on the king-size bed. “So what’s the issu
{Isla’s POV} Hey, so you know how sometimes we hope for something, and when it finally happens, we’re still shocked by the outcome? I don’t know if I’m making sense, but I’ll be direct to the point. Ralph Tinter. My pretty ex-boyfriend whom I had hurt and whom I had hoped to still be his friend and not his enemy. Well, he’s nice to me. Like super nice! Not like I expect him to treat me like the freaking devil or anything, but I had fucking broken his heart and ran away with another man! And normally, when this sort of thing happens, the affected person gives you at least an attitude, right? But Ralph hasn’t been giving me any. He just acts like nothing ever happened even when we both know he was hurt and might still be. He deserved an apology or an explanation at least, but he still hadn’t asked for any. I had tried to initiate a conversation a couple of times but he waved it off and we ended up having fun. That bothers me. It bothers me for two reasons. One, he might be hur
{Isla’s POV} Today I didn’t go to the Arena for Combat Schooling. I had Princess duties to handle. Dad had just returned from his Scouting and he wanted me to join him in mapping out a Tactics plan. There had been a breach in the West Coast Borders of the Reigns so he wanted to teach me Tactics schemes. So I was preparing to go and meet him in his Work Office. I also planned on stopping by the Clinic to check on Kunuki and Shrill-voice. Hopefully, during the Tactics mapping, I would be able to convince my Dad to let them stay. Okay, that’s the news for today. Oh, and Cayden is around… Brick wall, remember? But I had handled that situation properly even though Andrea had preferred to gape instead of continuing onwards with me. Yes. I had snubbed Cayden like he wasn’t even there and had continued on my way. He was just a War General after all. One of my subjects. I wasn’t going to give him special treatment. He was nothing! Yes, we had been mates, but that was one desperat
{Isla’s POV} I darted into the Arena like a Roe deer on fire and believe me when I say that my heart still paced faster than my legs. I stabled my footing. Once I rested my eyes on the haywire scene, I cried with all the air in my lungs. “Stop!” They stopped. They obeyed— at least I thought so due to the sudden silence. Sorry, I close my eyes when I yell. I threw my lids open and there they were, mangled and bruised, with gory blood spilled everywhere. The revelation was indeed dreadful and horrendously grim, but I sighed in relief. Yeah, you heard me right. I sighed in relief. The lawless scenery was Great news. Great news because it wasn’t what I had thought it to be. It wasn’t Ralph and you-know-who that had been brawling. I don’t even know these guys. They were probably outstanding Alphas who were just made War Generals. Newbies who didn’t know the rules! That last part made me mad. “Both of you. Step forward!” I commanded. I know I sounded like my Dad again, but it
{Isla’s POV} That Lavender fragrance mixed with sweet sandalwood scent bathed my senses as I ambled on. The whiff dominated the air. Cayden was around alright. I continued on my way, a part of me now conscious of his presence. Cora seemed disturbed, but I didn’t speed up my pace. Gone are those days when he would make my heart beat faster and my blood flush vehemently through my veins. I wasn’t that person anymore and I know I’ve said this like a hundred times but, I was the fucking future Queen of Canine Reigns. He’ll bow to me now. I spotted him from some paces away on the cross pathway. I knew he was headed for the Combat Arena, the opposite of my destination. He was late. This was no time for a Reignile War General to be in attendance. Offense Number One. I straightened my pose and he grew uneasy as we grew closer to each other. I could feel it. “Good day, Princess.” He greeted me in that familiar deep rumble he called his voice and as much as his wordings were odd to
{Isla’s POV} So Kayla. My nineteen year old kid Sis, who has been away for three years at Medical school. Kayla had always wanted to be a Physician so my Dad had sent her away to learn how and now, she was finally back! Fuck you, loneliness! In your face, boredom! Get the hell out, desolation! My sister was finally here and I wasn’t alone anymore. I had been so excited to see her and we had spent the whole night catching up on each other’s lives. Oh, and I promise. No more surprises. My mother only gave birth to two girls. The ones seated on a bed amidst the humid air, having an emotional chat. “—what’s her name again?” “Ivanka…” “Ivanka!” Kayla scowled. “That girl’s a demon. She’s the one I detest most!” “Well, I hate all of them! The whole fucking family. And I won’t rest until they all are swimming in the dust.” “Woah woah. Chill out, Sis. You sound like a fucking witch.” She mouthed with a chuckle before she poured her clothes on my bed from her box. She had a point.
{Isla’s POV} Gazel left. Cayden was coming. —The War General that everyone suddenly adored, even my Kayla. Even though she tries to deny it. I know. I’m not dumb, and I think I hate her now. There are so many other stunning single Stags in the Palace and she decides to fancy Cayden. They all admire blindly. They adore him but they don’t know the tainted heart that lies within. They don’t know how cruelty is the very air he breathes. But that’s where I come in. I would scourge him to the extent that his true colors burn out through his skin. I would rack him until he breaks— until he begs! “Princess, you called me?” That deep rumble. I hauled myself from my galling thoughts and stared at the one man who could make hope hopeless. Who could make fate faithless. Who made my worth worthless. “General.” I mouthed, soaking in the feeling of my superiority over him. “How has your new environment been treating you so far?” “Good.” “The Lord Alpha?” “Kind.” “The Lord Luna?”
