Semua Bab His Regret: Bab 161 - Bab 170

{Isla’s POV}I gave the permit and the next minute, Ralph was gone, and with him, the crowd of warriors. They were going to capture Cayden.I stared at Andrea as she had an uneasy expression bathing her face. I didn’t like the look so I asked her, “What’s wrong?”“Do you think you made the right decision, My Queen?” She asked me.I entertained a moment of silence as I thought about her question. Did I make the right decision?I’m not sure about that.But did I also make the wrong decision?I’m not sure about that either, and so I’ve not done anything wrong as of now.“I don’t know, Andrea. We’ll have to find out when they bring him in. Besides, his behavior these past few days has been dubious so he needs to be questioned nonetheless.”“I think you should have put another person in charge.” Andrea said as we strolled away from Cayden’s Chambers front.“And why do you say that?”“I don’t know…” She trailed off. “Ralph seems… hate-driven. He might not follow orders.” “I’ve given—” “My

{Isla’s POV}I paced out of my mum’s Chambers and the small crowd that had gathered trailed behind me. Andrea was still beside me and she gripped my left hand and stroked it gently. She knew I was angry— and I do crazy things whenever I’m angry.“Ralph.” I called.“Yea, My Queen.” He inched closer.“Bring out all the suspects to the fields— except the kitchen maids. They prepared food for the general populace and if only one person died, then they are innocent,” I said and Ralph nodded before he trudged away to do my bidding.“Also bring Cayden.” I added.“Isla…” I heard my mum’s voice so I halted my haste as she tried to catch up with me. She got to me and rested a gentle touch on my cheek. It momentarily gave me peace but the aggression that was inside of me was too strong to be defeated now. “Don’t let your anger rule you, Isla. You rule your anger ‘cause when it’s the other way around, we tend to make mistakes.” She said. “You can always rest for the night and carry on the inves

{Isla’s POV}Her smile always irritates me and that’s why she reveals it to me without effort.I felt like going over there and wiping it off her face with a good punch but I had to remain calm because she was the one who could help us bring Cayden to Justice.“What do I want?” Ivanka muttered dramatically. I rolled my eyes.“Well, I’m not asking for much. It’s simple, what I want. I want to be out of that hole of darkness you put me in and brought to the surface where I can see the light… by Your Majesty's grace that is. I don’t mind serving as a slave or worse, but I just want to be out of there.” She bowed. “This is my request, my Queen.” Slowly, the hall began bobbing with murmuring and chattering. Ivanka was requesting freedom from the dungeons to be brought up here and put to harsh labor which was a strange demand— as in the Dungeons, she only had to sleep, wake up, and eat but out here, she would be put to afflicting labor through every hour of the day, every day— as per how s

{Isla’s POV}I went from feeling optimistic about the execution to feeling very confused with it.There was no execution anymore.Cayden had tricked me and then he had vanished. I blamed myself for believing he wanted to die a noble death… but then there was more to the story.He had left behind a message.Mysterious Pack. It sounded familiar but that didn’t help reduce my confusion by one bit.The guards were still in the woods chasing after him but I knew that was a vain attempt. They could never catch Caydne out there, except if he wanted them to. With his velocity, he was most likely a mile away from where the guards were searching.I drove my gaze around to see how cold the crowd had grown. They had come to witness an execution but had instead witnessed carelessness. My carelessness. “My Queen.” I heard familiar voices call my attention before I saw Emkay and Andrea appear before me. They must have seen how disturbed and confused I was looking.“Are you okay?” Andrea asked me.

{Isla’s POV}I lied.I said I wouldn’t stop running until I get to Zitumi’s pack but the thing with that statement is that I wasn’t thinking when I said it. I was panting like a Mac dog now and Zitumi’s pack was still miles away. It would take me days before I got there. That’s one bad news.The second bad news, I’m all alone, and traveling alone isn’t exactly my thing. It’s not always friendly on me.Note, I’m not scared. I’m just bored and it only gets worse. I’ve only traveled alone twice. One, was when Cayden had sent me out of his Alpha mansion at GreyHill, and two was when he had tricked me and led the Lycans to chase him instead of both of us.So yeah, I’m not used to traveling alone. It would be nice to have someone with me even if it’s a vulture or a weasel or a Rogue. I honestly wouldn’t mind anything or anybody if it—“My Queen.” A voice said.“AHhhhh!!!” I jumped away and slammed into a tree. My heart rate immediately went from 60 beats per minute to 1000.With a bobbing
