Don’t ask me questions. What’s wrong with Cayden? Ion know. He’s a stubborn Character. But hey, Sir. Skippar’s having a confidence boost… Let’s see how that turns out… Haha. See yA
{Isla’s POV}I stared wide-eyed in disbelief as I watched Cayden being thrashed into the dust like a blind 8-year-old. Only that he wasn’t blind. He very much could see and he was using that sight to look at me.Sir. Skippar was in god mode. At least he thought he was. He thought that’s how strong he was to be beating Cayden up so easily. But for the ones who knew Cayden, i.e. Daniel, Andrea, and me, we knew something was wrong somewhere.We literally had our jaws dropped at the sight. Cayden was bleeding furiously and he wasn’t defending any of the Sir. Skippar’s blows. And if it continued this way, Sir. Skippar would end up turning Cayden into Decayed-body.Cayden stood up for the 17th time now.But that’s the thing. Why does he keep standing up? If he knows he isn’t going to fight Sir. Skippar, he should just—“Ouu.” Andrea voiced beside me. This was the 7th time she was making that sound. She habitually made it at the impact of the bigger blows. Bigger blows like Cayden getting
{Isla’s POV}Daniel and Andrea helped Cayden out of the Supreme Commander’s Shelter. We left gleeful appraisals and chattering behind as everyone felt like they had discovered a new Champion. Decayed-mouth The Destroyer.Fuckers!Didn’t they see that Cayden wasn’t even making an attempt to fight him, which, by the way, leads me to my reason to be furious.I waited for us to get some distance away from the Dwarf’s Shelter and the judging stares and then I stopped our stroll by jumping in front of Cayden.“What was that rubbish you did in there?!” I yelled at his face. Cayden sighed and rested against a pole and Andrea used the opportunity to escape from my glaring range to an area behind me. Knowing me fully well, she knew I was going to yell daggers and knives at Cayden.“You’re not going to say anything?!” I voiced once again, irritated by the fact that he was just staring into space. “You were just a breathing punching bag in there.”Cayden cleaned whipped blood off his face and tur
{Cayden’s POV}I strolled through the Hold, my eyes switching from one scene to the other. They looked like wild animals out here, Rogue and Lycans alike. All around me, men and women were seen chatting, drinking, laughing, and/or having sex. It was an interesting sight, yet it wasn't one I was used to.I had left Isla over at the pond. She had been very mad at me and as much as I wanted to stay there and watch her get all red and fiery, I needed to give her her privacy. I knew she wasn’t as carefree as me and wasn’t comfortable getting naked in front of anyone— she has always been that shy. And knowing this, I left as I didn’t want to trouble her more— even though it would have been fun to do so.I got to our ash-colored tent and bowed as I walked in. I still can’t believe four people would be sharing this small circle. I met Andrea inside. She was kneeling and preparing a bed space with some bedclothes. She didn’t notice me.I cleared my throat and she flinched at the sound of my
{Isla’s POV}I was drying my hair with a cloth and was finding it difficult to choose who to glare at.Cayden?Or the Lycan guard that had interrupted me from yelling at Cayden?“You!” He pointed at me. I was the last in the room now. “Out!” He yelled. This fucker is yelling at me! I’m the Queen of the Reigns and he dares to yell at me! I can fucking—Okay, I can’t do anything out here. Gosh! Staying pretentious is pretty hard. And I think that one day I might just lose it if one of these Scrotes steps on my nerves!“Are you deaf?!” He bawled again.Maybe towards your damned voice!Call me stubborn but I glared back at him, but then Andrea came in on time before we could see how things would turn out. “My—” She killed her speech and looked at the Lycan guard. “I mean, Isla. Let’s go!” She said.I dropped the cloth down and started to move towards her. The Lycan guard was visibly angry at me now and Andrea, noticing this, rushed to grab my hand and pull me outside.Stupid guard!We s
{Isla’s POV}All four of us were brought to a shocking halt by a voice and when I looked up, it was more shocking.“I know who you all are.”No one answered to that.I couldn’t say anything either. I was dazed and trying to process if I had heard her correctly. All of us just stood there staring at a glaring face. She had her hands crossed over her chest and she stood confidently in the middle of the room.“Informant?” I muttered. It was a stupid utterance but it was all my mind could feed my lips at that moment.With the scowl on her face, the She-rogue slowly crept towards us and stopped before me. She turned to Daniel who was at the edge of the line.“You’re Daniel, a Beta.” She said to him and turned to Cayden on the other side.“And you’re Alpha Cayden, the Chief War General of the Reignile Army.” She said to him before turning to face Andrea.“You’re Andrea, a Reignile maid to the Alpha Queen.” She told her.She then turned to me with a scary smirk. “And you’re the Alpha Queen.”
{Isla’s POV}It’s times like this that I feel like I need a ventilator. Air was stolen away from me and was replaced with anger, confusion, and frustration.Who is this girl again?!And she brought friends too?She has guts but I’m going to spill those guts! I'm going to make this confrontation serve as a cautionary tale to anyone who thinks it’s fun to mess with me!I threw my claws out and started pacing towards her and her buddies. I wasn’t going to let three Scrotes sabotage a mission that holds the hope of the entire Canine Reigns!No one is going to stop me. Daniel and Andrea rushed to hold me back, realizing what I wanted to do, but I turned to both of them with a scowl.“Stand aside!” I said. “It’s not a request.”With my utterance, they both shifted out of the way with worry and fright on their faces. They knew I wasn’t playing around anymore.I got to hold three bold Rogues— at least they think they’re bold, and gripped the annoying She-rogue by her throat and lifted her hi
{Isla’s POV}We were making our way out into the jungle, the thick and heavy paperwork they call the forest.Emkay was right. I had made a critical mistake. I should have gone back to check for survivors. I should have gone to save my wounded soldiers. But I didn’t.And Emkay and so many others here were the hurtful evidence of my mistake. I had hurt a lot of people with my obliviousness or ignorance— I don’t know which to call it. But I know I’m going to do my best to save them. Each and every one of them. Although I’m not sure how we can turn a Praised brother back into a normal Werewolf. But we’ll figure something out. Right now, we just had to escape being turned into a Praised Brother ourselves. We also had to catch some Boars.“What do they call it again?”“Addax’s blood?”“And what is that?” Andrea asked Emkay, stealing the question right off my lips.“Addax is an autumn animal whose blood is used to stain for stench.” Emkay started to explain. “The Lycans basically pour it on
{Isla’s POV}“Wait. So let me get this straight.” I turned to face Emkay who was apparently standing in her battle position with her claws out against the three threatening Rogues. I ignored everything and asked her. “We were sent out here to hunt Wild Boars and kill one another?”“My Queen, we don’t have time for this.” Emkay rushed her words as a Real Rogue rushed towards her.At this point, it’s better we differentiate. We were Werewolves here under disguise and acting, so we were fake Rogues. While the rest of the Oust Resistance population were the real Rogues.But no one other than us knew this. So in the eyes of the Lycans, we were all Rogues.But that’s not the issue now. The issue now is not being killed by our fellow Rogues and not losing our Wild Boar.I turned to my side and Emkay was busy trying to fight off a Rogue. The Rogue was a female and two of them seemed to be matched in terms of strength and skill. I was still confused so I yelled.“Stop!”They stopped. All the
