I know I’ve conditionally stalled it for some time now because I needed to address some things, but it’s finally about to happen. Isla is about to have a One-on-One with the Lycan King!! But hey, keep your heads up. This is a crazy story… Haha!! Lol… See yA! … and blood¿
{Isla’s POV}Because of mine and Ralph’s little confrontation— well, it wasn’t a little confrontation but I’ll call it little because I didn’t end up snapping his throat to pulp.Anyway, because of my and Ralph’s little confrontation, Ralph had apologized and dismissed himself. And by dismissing himself, I mean he had left with his own group to go and hunt for the Lycan King.He left earlier than the other groups and now he was back because unfortunately or fortunately, he had crossed paths with the Lycans.He had lost most of his men to the Lycan’s ambush and that had given the Lycan King a little more edge over us. And as much as that was bad news, it didn’t really muddle me. What mattered most to me was that Ralph knew where the Lycans were hiding.Ralph knew where the Lycan King was and I was ready to confront him. Irrespective of how sneaky he and his men had become, we would storm the place.We were about to dart out for the Hunt when I heard a loud cry— a cry that shot me with m
Chapter 190{Isla’s POV}I needed a breather. I needed to reboot, but the Lycan King wasn’t going to permit this. He made that clear as he kept coming at me and putting me back down on the ground.But just as he was about to land another threatening blow, just as he was about to add more pain to my anguish, I saw a werewolf spear him to the ground.My mum.My mum came to my rescue and intervened powerfully as she sent the Lycan King crashing to the ground with one very strong impact. Immediately, both of them dissolved into an aggressive wrestle and aggrieved growls filled the air while claws and fangs dug into fur and skin.This was my breather. I used the break to gather myself and rise up to my feet. I pulled the crooked metal piece out of my side and winced from the piercing pain it left behind. I gritted my teeth to stop myself from screaming out loud.My left foot was dislocated so I twisted the bone and managed whatever correction I made there. I wasn’t going to let a dysfunct
{Isla’s POV}Being a Queen is a lot.It involves dealing with wars, administrative affairs… and dealing with Assholes.“Wow. Look at you. Now, I know I said I liked your mother but you’re making me reconsider that preference.” The Lycan King said, adoring my body as his eyes trailed from my breasts to my waist and stopped at the area in between my legs.Sigh.Like I said, being a Queen involves dealing with Assholes. It also involves dealing with pain— which I was currently going through as every stretch of my skin was stinging me. I was bleeding from numerous tears and tears kept me threatening to squeeze out of my eyes because of that.But I had to remain strong— this is the toughest part of being a Queen. I had to hide my pain and become ready to endure more. I had to shift my own worries aside and worry about the worries of others.My mum lay bleeding on the ground behind me, fighting for her life and I had to leave her to fight that battle alone because I wanted the Reigns to win
{Isla’s POV}I had him right here in my hand, in a death grip.And then I let him go.The Lycan had wasted no time in making his getaway. Once my clasp around his neck loosened, he vanished. He had given me one very puzzled look before he threw himself down the very steep cliff and just like that, he was gone.I was shivering now.For the first time during this degenerate night, I felt the impact of being naked in such weather. I was freezing.I hugged myself, stroking my skin to create frictional heat and then I raised my gaze to the sky. Tears claimed my eyes once more and I shivered more intensely as I stared at the moon.— The Full Mating moon.What did I ever do wrong to deserve such gloom?What did I do to fate? How have I ever scorned the Moon goddess to merit such periodical punishments?Warm tears trailed faster out of my eyes now. I still couldn’t believe it but then I knew that the feeling was unmistakable. It’s either you know or you don’t. And I knew.It was one of the fe
{Cayden’s POV}I woke up to realize I was still alive. I really thought I would die from the Sgian blade stab, but then I wouldn’t regret losing my life because of Isla.She’s too beautiful to leave this world.— and I’m not talking about her outer beauty.I, on the other hand, don’t deserve to breathe, but somehow I still am. Breathing and alive.I veered my gaze around to see that I was in a brightly lit room— a clinic room. One of the big light stands was directly arrowed at me and I squinted from the intensity.I don’t like bright lights.I realized there were no nurses in the room to help me turn the brightness down so I moved my leg and kicked it to the ground. The room was moderately lit now but my sudden leg motion shot me with pain from my abdominal region so that I was reminded of my painful predicament. That Kingly Cunt stabbed me deep.I might be alive but I still had a scourging and poisoned Injury labeling my abs area. The only thing I knew that aided my survival was t
{Isla’s POV} I had jumped away from Cayden’s embrace. We had both fallen asleep in each other’s cuddle and as strange as that was, it was the least of my problems right now.I was gazing around, trying to get the perspective of things. I was still in the forest and still naked and I woke up with the realization that everything was real.My life was still fucked up and the wretched feeling in my chest was a testament to this. I was truly fouled by the moon. On the verge of me slaughtering the Lycan King, the moon had matched the Lycan King and me as mates and I let him escape as the overwhelming feeling had been greater than my thirst to kill.And now, I had a second chance mate.Fresh tears trailed out of my eyes now. I had so many things to deal with but I felt very weak, physically and emotionally.Cayden got up to his feet and hovered over me now. I wasn’t looking at him. I was looking at the ground, cursing the new predicament that my cruel fate had struck me with.I needed to r
{Isla’s POV}I sighed and I finally let the terrorizing questions out of my mind. That was the first scary phase. Now, the next scary phase was Daniel’s answer.I asked him the question and panic gripped my heart as I waited for his answer. “I.. I…” Daniel stuttered and I tried my very best to stay calm and patient. Speak, Daniel!“I was in the Palace when I was informed by the Nurses that Cayden had left the clinic without completing his treatments so I knew he had gone in search of you. I immediately took a team and left the Palace too to come and search for you two. I haven’t crossed paths with any of the Reignile warriors or the Naí Lord Luna before this time.” Daniel explained.I sighed. I don’t know why, but his words shot me with relief. Maybe because I had been expecting him to give me the most desolating news ever and he had given me something totally different.“Okay.” I muttered and we continued onwards in the tense quietness. My relief was momentary as I still didn’t
{Isla’s POV}I noticed that my crown was on top of Kayla’s head and that was where my shock began.But I didn’t know it would only get worse.“That’s no way to talk to your Queen!” Kayla said and I stared at her and the dirty smirk that had claimed her lips in my growing confusion. What the fuck is going on?I motioned to warn her to stop making such jokes with me but then she said.“Right, Ralph?” I turned to watch Ralph leave the line behind me and stroll over to stand beside Kayla. They both stared at me now.“What is this? Is this some sort of spiffing joke?” I quizzed loudly, getting impatient with their drama.I gazed at the crown on Kayla’s head. “And why the hell are you putting on my crown? Don’t you know what being a Ceremonial Queen is?” I asked her sternly and she just smiled at me.She stepped forward and a bit close to me. “I think you mean to say, why the hell am I putting on my crown, which is a foolish question in the first place.” She muttered, playing with a loose
