Sad Chapter… I was almost in tears writing it. But yeah, this was how it happened. This was how the Powerful Lord Alpha died. See you in the next one. {No evil laughter today}
{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
{Isla’s POV} The atmosphere was quiet and peaceful as Daniel, Cayden and I pushed ourselves through the thick woodlands of the Northern Reigns. I was vibing with the peace and quiet but I couldn’t say the same for Cayden or Daniel. They were strolling some distance behind me but I could sense their fear as they watched the rugged blood-bathed she-wolf who happened to be their Queen. I didn’t say anything to them and they didn’t say anything to me, and slowly, tension was being added to the peaceful atmosphere. I needed to do something about that. “Daniel.” I suddenly called, not bothering to look back at the duo. “Yes, Your Highness?” Daniel promptly responded. “The Rogue camp where you were being held hostage, how many Lycans did you see there?” I asked, still strolling ahead of them. On the other hand of trying to remove the tension in the air, I needed to know if the diseased ragged warrior’s word were authentic— if there were only one Lycan in every Rogue camp. “Uh… I-
{Isla’s POV}How the hell are we at Ivanka’s Pack? I looked at Cayden and the look on his face made everything make sense.This was an intentional move. We would find a Pack we could rest at and while we do, Cayden can address the smudge.Ivanka’s that smudge.But then again, I’m Queen. I’m supposed to have a say in these sorts of confrontations since I’m the ruler of both Packs in question and Queen to both werewolves in question.Right?Cayden noticed the look on my face and turned to look at me.“I said I knew a Pack we could rest at and this is the one.” He said in an unrushed manner.“And that pack surprisingly turns out to be Ivanka’s?” I asked.“Yeah.” He said and I glared at him the more.A bolt of lightning shot through the sky with its flicker of light and then a loud thunderclap stabbed the silence before rain started pouring down.That was our cue to go in.I had never been to Ivanka’s Pack before so I didn’t know what to expect.Weirdos?Demons?Or both?We started strol
