A shirt and fairly emotional filler chapter here! The Queen is scared… Is there need to be¿ Well, maybe… {evil laugh} Lol… Lucil is here. Let’s find out why. See yA!
{Isla’s POV}It was nighttime, but my eyes were still very quick to identify the stranger as Lucil.But you know who was even more quick?Cayden. He was already walking towards the scene of commotion when I was just realizing it, which wasn’t that surprising since she was his sister. The bulk of the warriors who were struggling to restrain Lucil were Trencher warriors so they didn’t know who she was. And the few Reignile warriors around who could identify her were limited because of her scruffy appearance.But Cayden could see through all that. He got to them and held his sister’s arm, causing her to stop struggling and look at him, and ending the commotion also. I started to rush over to them.Lucil looked so relieved to see Cayden as she immediately hugged him tightly, with a broad smile on her face. But then Cayden wasn’t smiling. Lucil pulled away from the hug and noticed Cayden wasn’t interested in hugging her. He was more interested in her looks as he was frowning and staring
{Isla’s POV}They all looked worried about me and they didn’t hide it as each of them suggested what they thought was best for me.I just laid there staring and panting until my Mum tore through the numerous dialogues. “She’s the only one that is tired. The rest of us are just fine.” She said and her words confused everyone— including me, as I wondered why she would come to such a conclusion.But then my Mum said something else, something that completely puzzled me. “She’s tired because she’s pregnant.”“WHAT?!” The words jumped out of my mouth before I could even blink. Strength immediately returned to my limbs and I pushed myself up to a standing position, my eyes on my Mum while doing so.“Mum, I’m fine. I was just exhausted but I’m fine now.” I said, looking between Cayden and her. Cayden had, on his face, an expression that matched the shock that was plastered on my face and I drove my gaze around to realize everyone was similarly blown.I was so confused. My mum wasn’t saying a
{Kayla’s POV}I panicked and then I ran…..One minute I was smiling and throwing out orders as a supreme Queen and the next minute I watched chaos erupt.It was like an explosion went off before I realized we were being attacked by the Lycans.I had Ralph beside me and hundreds of warriors at my command so I knew I was well to do. I knew I could defeat the Lycans and their wretched King.This was what I thought until I saw the Lycans and their Praised brother numbers kept increasing and noticed something completely dismaying. The Protectorates I had created in the southern and eastern Reigns for the Council Elders who had assisted me in taking the Throne from Isla— those Protectorates were compromised. I was in this sudden chaotic scene now and I was seeing Werewolves in those Protectorates I had created storming the Palace as Praised Brothers. Their numbers were mighty and I was overwhelmed by the dread that had claimed me.All around me was turmoil and chaos— it was sudden. We had
{Kayla’s POV}Just when I had abandoned all hope. Just when I had said “Hey” to my demise, I heard the one voice I never expected to hear in this moment.I heard my sister’s voice. I heard Isla’s voice.— that clear and delicate tone, except that it had sounded deeper. But then, I couldn’t believe it was her. I couldn’t rely solely on my ears to make such judgments. I couldn’t trust them enough so I opened my eyes to see that the attention in the Throne room wasn’t on me anymore. I couldn’t see Isla yet, but everyone’s gaze wasn’t on me anymore so I knew something else was happening. I was still choking in the Lycan King’s death grip with my feet still in the air but it was less tight now so I could breathe— a little.There was tense silence now.…And confusion seemed to linger in it, especially within me as I started to doubt my suspicion.Until there was movement at a far corner and I heard a voice— the same familiar voice again.“I said, let go of my sister!” Isla roared and then
{Isla's POV}.I was enraged.I didn’t know what angered me more— Kunuki exposing my plan or the Lycan King not giving a shit about it. But one thing was for sure. There was no turning back now. — sorry, two things were for sure. The ‘No turning back’ part. And the fact that I’m going to reclaim my home no matter what happens here tonight. I’m going to kill!I looked at Cayden and he looked back at me, his blue eyes stained with the fire burning in them. It felt relieving knowing that he was beside me fighting as my able support. He wasn’t in support of me facing the Lycan King but now that I was stubbornly here, I knew he would never let anything happen to me. It was a calming feeling.But then the Lycan King had his own support, his brother was here. He had introduced him to us after he told me about how Kunuki could read me like a book. So now, an equally imposing Lycan was standing beside the Lycan King. But I didn’t care. My focus was on the Lycan King— Cayden can have his brot
{Isla’s POV}.I sighed heavily when I recognized the figure that had joined the scene.I’ve never been happier to see Cayden in my entire life.There was an aggressive growl.And then there was a blow— a really hard one.I watched Cayden land his fist on the Lycan King's jaw, sending him to the rocky ground now drenched by the rain. And then I watched Cayden rush over to me, dread and worry ruling all over his face. “Isla.” He called my name frightfully and touched my hand that was on my stomach. “Are you okay? Talk to me. Did he hurt you? Did you feel pain? Do you—”“I’m fine, Cayden.” I interrupted him and forced a smile but it didn’t seem to calm him down.“Your stomach, is it—““Cayden. I’m fine.” I took my hand off my belly and allowed his own hand to rest directly on top of it. I smiled warmly at him. “I just need a minute to catch my breath and then I’ll join you in taking down that Wretch. Okay?” I said, staring at the distance where the Lycan King was getting up again. Cayde
{Cayden’s POV}.Isla was all I could think about.Before now, I’ve failed her in so many ways.I’ve failed to defend her. I’ve failed to protect her. And the past is filled with all those memories of me being a self-centered Pilfer.And that’s why I must do this for her. That’s why I must kill anything that causes her pain— kill the Lycan King.The last time she had fought him, I hadn’t been there to help her but now that I am present, I’m going to do my best to make up for my past absence.The Lycan King had bruised her so I was going to end him, and while I’m at it, I’ll make sure not to die as I have a reason to live now.— two reasons.I chased down the fucker, amused by the fact that he was running away, but not deceived by it— even though it seemed like he was genuinely scared of Naí Lord Luna Charlotte. This might just be a plot of his to lead us somewhere where he would have the higher advantage but I didn’t care. I would fight in the sun if I had to.The Lycan King was injure
>>[I'll SUGGEST YOU GET COMFORTABLE-- THIS CHAPTER IS 5K WORDS LONG]’s POV}.I got my breather. I got my time to rest so now, it was time for action. I had urged my mum to stay back in the Palace. She’s sometimes stubborn like me so I had begged her to stay behind and lead the rest of our army to reclaim the Palace completely. I was the Alpha Queen so I was primarily responsible for facing the Lycan King, not her. And I had made this point clear to her before she agreed to let me go. And so I left. I had picked up the Lycan King’s scent but I had followed the scent of Cayden and Andrea instead since they were my core worry. And how relieved I am that I came the time I did. I had helped Cayden up and now he was seated on a fallen tree trunk— there were so many fallen tree trunks, and he was seated in one of them and taking his own breather— along with Andrea and Daniel.“He’s too strong. Like damn!” Daniel exclaimed, causing all of us to look at him. “He makes you think h
