So, Isla experiences her first Court Meeting as Queen!!! — and it’s boring to her…lol. Oh, and next chapter is Lord Naí Charlotte’s POV Let’s see how that goes…
{Lord Naí Charlotte’s POV}[FLASHBACK TO THE MORNING OF THE LYCAN INVASION]It’s only been three days and I miss my daughter like she’s been gone for weeks. Guess losing her for two years has filled me with the dread of not being close to her. She’s the future of the Reigns and her very existence is our hope, hence she’s to be preserved and groomed. But Isla doesn’t see things my way. She’s stubborn and always wants to dive at her intentions. Just recently I had my heart broken when we all found out she was cursed— cursed with rageful outbursts that make her a chaotic force.And as if that development isn’t enough for a mother to burn her heart out in worry, Isla has gone out on a Rogue mission with that condition.Her determination is the only thing I can’t fight in the world. Her determination is the only thing her father, the Lord Alpha, can’t challenge and defeat because she got it from him.But I trust she’ll be back safe. However, I’m still disturbed by the fact that she’s with
{Lord Naí Charlotte’s POV} [CONTINUATION OF FLASHBACK] Carlot was dripping in blood? I looked at my husband whose demeanor had suddenly become fierce. He made his way down the Dias towards Carlot. “What is this, Carlot?” He roared in annoyance but Carlot was still panting. “Y-Your Majesty.” He struggled onto his knees. “I took the trip to the Hunting Alley as assigned and on my way back to the Palace I.. I ran into…” “You ran into what, Carlot?!” My husband bawled and I paced down to go meet them. “Lycans. Lycans, Your Majesty.” Carlot muttered and I was stoned with shock. I turned to look at my husband to decide from his look if what I had just heard was real and when our gazes met, the worry he had on his face filled me with dread. We both knew Carlot doesn’t joke with his job so he would be the last person ever to pull this as a prank. But Lycans? I had to confirm. “Carlot,” I called and he looked at me. “Are you sure of what you’re saying?! The Lycans don’t have any busi
{Isla’s POV} I knew when my heart started beating fast but I didn’t know when my tears drenched every stretch of the front area of my gown. My mum was crying too and it made matters worse because my heart couldn’t tolerate my eyes seeing her hurt. “Mum.” I gripped her to my chest and she sobbed against me while I sobbed over her. “Please stop crying.” I pleaded. How efficient will it be when you’re telling someone to stop crying when you are crying yourself? Still, I needed her to stop crying. Watching her wail made me weak and helpless. “Mum,” I stroked her back gently, "it's not your fault so please stop crying” I pleaded again but then she jerked away to sit upright. “It’s my fault, Isla!” She suddenly had a strong glare on and I was confused. “Your father died because of me!” She bawled. What? “No, Mum!” I tried to grip her shoulder but she bashed my hands away. “Dad—” “I was the one that made him go to the Throne room that day! I was the one who suggested the prank tha
{Isla’s POV} I have no idea what Ralph meant by saying ‘good’ to Cayden joining the mission but I’ll digress. I have other things to worry about. Other things like making sure I didn’t lose warriors as I did on the last Rogue mission. That day, I had enthusiastically dived head-first into danger. The two Rogues we had captured had directed me to one of their camps without struggle and I had thoughtlessly led my army to their deaths. And the Praised brothers had helped me bury them. Praised brothers! Oh, I’m ready for those Wretches now! And I have to make sure my army is ready too. “Gather round, everyone,” I called the Warriors scattered around. We were in the heart of the forest making our way towards the North. As planned, we were an army of 500 warriors, and with me were four Generals; Cayden, Ralph, one other General whose name I can’t seem to remember, and Raand. Who remembers the Blabbermouth General? The one who had been disrespecting an older General months ago in t
{Isla’s POV} We all turned around to see two werewolves fighting. Huh? Why are my warriors fighting each other? I paced closer, digging through some of my warriors standing in front and then I got a better look. It wasn’t two of my warriors fighting. One of the Werewolves was one of my warriors while the other was a Rogue. Where did a Rogue come from? And it’s only one? I swiveled around to check if more Rogues were lurking around but the growing from the duo called my attention back. I pushed my body towards the scene as some of my warriors surrounded the duo to intervene. As I halted before the fierce battle, I stopped the warriors attempting to join the battle by raising a hand. They stopped their attempt but the still duo continued fighting and then I noticed something strange so I yelled. “Stop!” But both of them didn’t seem to hear me so I frowned and crept closer to them and bashed one of them away from the other. With their struggle, I had mistakenly bashed away m
{Isla’s POV} Upon my sight, I flinched and clenched the night dress tightly against my breasts while Ralph just stood there, staring. He had a hint of shock in his gaze but it suddenly vanished as his eyes began trailing down my body. “Ralph?” I called but he didn’t answer. He took his time in splaying his gaze over me until it finally clocked with mine. “Ralph?” I called again and he seemed to realize what he was doing so he swiveled to look away. “I’m sorry.” He said, turning to the side. I used the opportunity to jump into the dress and in a matter of seconds, I was clothed. “It’s fine,” I muttered, causing him to turn back to me. He didn’t say anything but the look he had in his eyes told me everything. Lust. So fast? “So.” I immediately changed the topic. “What are you here for?” I asked and he shook himself out of his reverie. “I… right! I.. I came here to inform you that we all settled for the night and to ask you how many warriors should be on patrol.” “Put fifte
{Isla’s POV}I slowly drove my gaze around to meet the shock and confusion that labeled the bloody scene.My men had turned against each other and it seemed like some voodoo magic was strongly at play.A Rogue threw his fist at my face but shifted to the side, gripped him by the throat, and flung him into the air away, all while my eyes were still on the odd occurrence happening before me.What has gotten into them?What Psycho shit?!Two warriors were fighting close to me so I annoyingly paced towards them and gripped one by the shoulder.“Hey! What are you doing, Sentry?” I voiced but then the warrior left the dude he was fighting and started attacking me.What?!He sent rapid blows with rough pounces at me and I evaded everything as I tried to communicate with him.“Stop, warrior! I command you!” I voiced but he just kept clawing at me like a mad animal on mental autopilot.Soon, I got fed up and bashed him to the ground for which he didn’t stand up again.Don’t know if he died.I g
Chapter 96 ~ Beastly Bear.{Isla’s POV}In my weakness, my eyes grew the strength to reveal my shock.“Daniel?” I voiced but Daniel shot me with the alarm on his face.“We need to leave!” He prompted me but I didn’t move.How is he.. how are they—“This is no time to be dumbstruck, Isla. We need to leave!” Cayden voiced and the next second, he was sweeping me off the ground and drooping me over his shoulders.Wait, what’s happening?!I was forced back into my consciousness as jolting warmth poured onto my skin. I roamed my gaze around and found myself on Cayden's shoulder. Cayden’s shoulder!He was carrying me and racing away from the Rogues like I didn’t weigh a pint and the motion made my nerves bob with the contact.Why the hell is he carrying me?!I shot him a glare but he obviously couldn’t see it because my face was facing his back. I immediately pounded against his back and he promptly let me down to my feet. “Ready to use your legs now?” He said but I didn’t reply as I was tr
