Sad Chapter… I know. And I’m sorry for those that loved the Lord Alpha.., (I think I’m referring to everyone) But I think it’s safe to say the story just started… Vote my Book if you’re enjoying it so far. Everyone’s moody so no evil laughter this time around… <3
{Cayden’s POV} A maid had bursted out of a corner and scuttled towards us. By ”us”, I mean Isla and I. We had just returned from our Rogue Hunt that was, by the way, a lost cause. Isla had jeopardized the mission with her childishness and inexperience. But that wasn’t the issue now. My mum was finally awake. The feeble-leggeg maid had informed me. I was trailing behind her now, pressure building in my chest and anticipation bobbing in my lungs. I was finally going to see mum after three weeks. I couldn’t wait. It was almost unbelievable. I needed to confirm. “You said Naí Sassaba is awake?” I asked the maid as we took a corner on the left. Sorry, I took the corner. The maid was still going straight. She paused to look at me. “She isn’t in the Palace clinic anymore. She was moved to one of the Guest chambers yesterday.” The maid informed me and I swiftly joined her on her trail. “And yes, General Cayden. It’s Naí Sassaba.” She added. “Well then add speed to your legs.” I
{Cayden’s POV} Some parts of the Palace were in shambles and from what everyone has been saying, it was attacked. Attacked by a horde of Rogues who the survivors described as ruthless and beastly. We had encountered “ruthless” and “beastly” over in the jungle so it only made sense that the same force had attacked the Palace. Praised brothers they were called. Wretches! They had really caused so much damage— both emotionally, as everyone was visibly traumatized, and physically as fallen pillars decorated everywhere. And we both know that pillars hold stuff. But none of the Rogues' damages could be compared to the one caused by the screeching from yesterday. The loudness of that cry had threatened the very foundation of the Palace grounds and caused everyone to tremble. It had been too powerful to be from a Werewolf… but then again it was. It was from Isla. Apparently, it was one of those her outbursts moment and I had been rushing to the scene only to be chased back by cru
{Cayden’s POV}I had left the Generals on the fields with the recruits. Recruiting more warriors was important but settling my uneasiness was more paramount.The way my Mum had acted was odd and I needed to shake this feeling off of me that’s telling me that my mum had been telling the truth. Isla had given my mother a concussion. That’s the truth.I believe Ivanka and I believe the truth!But for some reason, knowing the truth wasn’t settling my sudden uneasiness. I still needed to talk to Isla.I paced through the entrance now and down some hallways. There was clanging and hammering as workers were scattered around and already rebuilding the distorted parts of the Palace. Finance wasn’t an issue around here.I got to the wide corridor that led to Isla’s room. I’ve been here before, so I knew the routes well. As I drew closer, the maids that were strolling out of her chambers bathed me with seductive gazes.This was a misdeed and an offense— For a maid to be making such advances tow
{Cayden’s POV} No one could move. The Lord Luna and her daughter, Kayla, seemed puzzled by the maid’s audacity while I was dazed with the contents of her utterance. I took my eyes off the panting maid and gazed back at Isla who was still lying rock-still on the bed. It made sense now. It made sense why they had all been extra moody. Isla was in a coma! … and the Lord Alpha was dead! Two distressing news. It was a lot to take in. In my stupefaction, I drove my gaze around and caught the Lord Luna’s gaze. Her attention was now on me and no longer the maid. But she was glaring. The murderous kind of glare. Rageful pants assisted the glare and together they frightened me. She might be a Lord Luna that weeps but her strength and power couldn’t be doubted. I could feel its threatening intensity and the best advice I could give myself was not to test it. Somehow, the gutsy maid had spoken the mind of the Lord Luna, as her sudden change of countenance revealed, and I was left not kn
{Cayden’s POV} A confession? “What confession?” I asked my mum, making my confusion visible. My mother had only just woken up but she was already aware of so many things I wasn’t aware of. That’s my mother alright. She breathed. “The tiny-looking maid had also informed the Lord Alpha about the occurrence and the Lord Alpha—” “Is it true that the Lord Alpha is dead, mum?” I butted in. I knew it was unrelated but I just had to ask. I also knew that such news coming from a maid’s lips in the presence of the Lord Luna couldn’t have been a joke but I still couldn’t believe it. It’s the Lord Alpha we’re talking about here. The strongest Alpha Werewolf in all of the Reigns who has never been challenged or defeated during his reign as no other Alpha had ever gotten the nerve to confront him. Including me. And now they say he was dead? Who could murder such a mighty entity? “Yes, Cayden.” My mum muttered slowly. “It can’t be. How can you be so sure? How do you even know?” My last
{Cayden’s POV} I jumped out of my mum’s chamber and threw my body into a sprint down the hallway. The maid would probably have gotten to the East gates by now and with the way the Palace security was volatile and inefficient, she might have successfully made it out of the gates. I wolfed out, allowing Kiba to completely take over. She was faster than my Werewolf form and could catch that maid before she got too far. Within a few minutes, Kiba was out of the gates. As I had predicted, the maid had sneaked past the weak security. But Kiba could smell her. I didn’t know what her scent was, but Kiba could smell fear— her fear. She hasn’t gotten too far. Kiba veered around and slowly started to pick up the maid’s trail. Soon enough, we were dashing in the woods towards her. We caught sight of the maid and she had also wolfed out to aid her swift escape but from the way things were looking, Kiba was faster than her. The wolf took a left than a busy trail but Kiba kept darting onwar
{Cayden’s POV} It’s been five days now but time seems to have no effect on me. I still feel very muddled and uneasy as I had felt days ago. Rachael, the wretched maid in disguise, was locked up once again in the Palace dungeons and this time, her escape wasn’t a possibility. I’ve not had the time to deal with the louse yet. Recently, my anger surges have been down and I’m not sure why. But turns out her improbable narrative was true. My clod of a wife has been stealing from me and was actually planning an attack on GreyStone to conclude her mission of overpowering me. A rotten Turncoat she is! Thankfully, I had gotten my mum to convince the Lord Luna to send some troops over to GreyStone to aid their reformation and scare off Ivanka’s forces, and so far, no ill news has been reported. The Palace has also been restored to its former glory, as buildings have been erected and warriors are back to their glorious numbers. It’s safe to say that we’re stronger than we ever were and
{Cayden’s POV} The tiny-looking maid shot to her feet in her fear while my gaze stretched at the sight. “How did you get in here?!” I asked the Straw-skinned woman but realized that her presence wasn’t as disturbing as her words. “And what do you mean by Isla is an Omega?” I added with a frown. I had seen the Old woman during one of Isla’s outbursts and she had looked really creepy and mysterious so there was no reason to be frightened by her sudden appearance… even though it was really frightful. The Old lady strolled towards me and I stiffened up my pose. She had a really weird-looking staff and a freakish smile on her face and it made me alert. If she did any weird shit, I wouldn’t hesitate to maim her. “You’re always maiming people around you. Both the ones you know and the ones you’re just meeting.” She said as she took a seat not too far away from me. She turned to look at Isla while I grew confused. Is it me or she just peeked into my head? That's creepy. I don’t like
