I have never asked for this before … but if you’re enjoying my book, please vote for it. The feeling… What feeling…? See yA!
{Isla’s POV}I had him right here in my hand, in a death grip.And then I let him go.The Lycan had wasted no time in making his getaway. Once my clasp around his neck loosened, he vanished. He had given me one very puzzled look before he threw himself down the very steep cliff and just like that, he was gone.I was shivering now.For the first time during this degenerate night, I felt the impact of being naked in such weather. I was freezing.I hugged myself, stroking my skin to create frictional heat and then I raised my gaze to the sky. Tears claimed my eyes once more and I shivered more intensely as I stared at the moon.— The Full Mating moon.What did I ever do wrong to deserve such gloom?What did I do to fate? How have I ever scorned the Moon goddess to merit such periodical punishments?Warm tears trailed faster out of my eyes now. I still couldn’t believe it but then I knew that the feeling was unmistakable. It’s either you know or you don’t. And I knew.It was one of the fe
{Cayden’s POV}I woke up to realize I was still alive. I really thought I would die from the Sgian blade stab, but then I wouldn’t regret losing my life because of Isla.She’s too beautiful to leave this world.— and I’m not talking about her outer beauty.I, on the other hand, don’t deserve to breathe, but somehow I still am. Breathing and alive.I veered my gaze around to see that I was in a brightly lit room— a clinic room. One of the big light stands was directly arrowed at me and I squinted from the intensity.I don’t like bright lights.I realized there were no nurses in the room to help me turn the brightness down so I moved my leg and kicked it to the ground. The room was moderately lit now but my sudden leg motion shot me with pain from my abdominal region so that I was reminded of my painful predicament. That Kingly Cunt stabbed me deep.I might be alive but I still had a scourging and poisoned Injury labeling my abs area. The only thing I knew that aided my survival was t
{Isla’s POV} I had jumped away from Cayden’s embrace. We had both fallen asleep in each other’s cuddle and as strange as that was, it was the least of my problems right now.I was gazing around, trying to get the perspective of things. I was still in the forest and still naked and I woke up with the realization that everything was real.My life was still fucked up and the wretched feeling in my chest was a testament to this. I was truly fouled by the moon. On the verge of me slaughtering the Lycan King, the moon had matched the Lycan King and me as mates and I let him escape as the overwhelming feeling had been greater than my thirst to kill.And now, I had a second chance mate.Fresh tears trailed out of my eyes now. I had so many things to deal with but I felt very weak, physically and emotionally.Cayden got up to his feet and hovered over me now. I wasn’t looking at him. I was looking at the ground, cursing the new predicament that my cruel fate had struck me with.I needed to r
{Isla’s POV}I sighed and I finally let the terrorizing questions out of my mind. That was the first scary phase. Now, the next scary phase was Daniel’s answer.I asked him the question and panic gripped my heart as I waited for his answer. “I.. I…” Daniel stuttered and I tried my very best to stay calm and patient. Speak, Daniel!“I was in the Palace when I was informed by the Nurses that Cayden had left the clinic without completing his treatments so I knew he had gone in search of you. I immediately took a team and left the Palace too to come and search for you two. I haven’t crossed paths with any of the Reignile warriors or the Naí Lord Luna before this time.” Daniel explained.I sighed. I don’t know why, but his words shot me with relief. Maybe because I had been expecting him to give me the most desolating news ever and he had given me something totally different.“Okay.” I muttered and we continued onwards in the tense quietness. My relief was momentary as I still didn’t
{Isla’s POV}I noticed that my crown was on top of Kayla’s head and that was where my shock began.But I didn’t know it would only get worse.“That’s no way to talk to your Queen!” Kayla said and I stared at her and the dirty smirk that had claimed her lips in my growing confusion. What the fuck is going on?I motioned to warn her to stop making such jokes with me but then she said.“Right, Ralph?” I turned to watch Ralph leave the line behind me and stroll over to stand beside Kayla. They both stared at me now.“What is this? Is this some sort of spiffing joke?” I quizzed loudly, getting impatient with their drama.I gazed at the crown on Kayla’s head. “And why the hell are you putting on my crown? Don’t you know what being a Ceremonial Queen is?” I asked her sternly and she just smiled at me.She stepped forward and a bit close to me. “I think you mean to say, why the hell am I putting on my crown, which is a foolish question in the first place.” She muttered, playing with a loose
{Isla’s POV}I poured out all my energy and persistence in the form of tears.The load in my heart was too heavy for me to bear, and as a result, I was physically drained. For the first time ever, I believed I wouldn’t be able to throw a punch if I was attacked by scoundrels.The way a bruise to the heart can affect the entire body physically is amazing, don’t you think?Now, with the little strength I had left, I allowed more tears out of my eyes and rested my head against Cayden’s chest as he carried me on our journey through the forest.Along with Cayden and I, my Mum, Andrea, Daniel, and the rest of the squadron of survivors that had been with us since were banished also.They had all chosen to stick with me and abandon the comfort and cheer of the Palace. They had chosen to journey with me on my path of hopelessness— as I had no idea of what my next plan was or what to do in this new doleful phase of my life.Andrea had tried to encourage me and fire up my motivation earlier but t
{Isla’s POV}A voice had interrupted our dialogue and now its owner strolled into our midst with an unrushed pace.I was confused about who he was and then I heard Cayden say, “Grus.” And I was still confused.I didn’t think I’d seen him before in my life but somehow Cayden seemed to know him as he had named the dude so confidently.I looked between him and Cayden as Cayden glared at him. “Your Highness.” The rugged-looking he-wolf greeted me.“Grus?” Another voice said and I swiveled around to see that it was Shrilly that had spoken. I had forgotten he was journeying with us. “You know him?” I asked, confused by how Cayden and Shrilly both knew the same person and I didn’t. “Yes, my Queen. He’s my brother.” Shrilly said and trembled away after realizing he had gotten too close to me.He still thought I was going to kill him. Well, I wanted to but then I recalled Natgy’s words saying I could trust Shrilly. She gave the cruel prophecy and also told me some of the people I could tru
{Isla’s POV}We had journeyed for some hours and I drove my gaze around wondering if I was the only one that felt tired. It looked like it. Everyone else was actively strolling especially Cayden. He didn’t look like he was anywhere close to being fatigued. Well, no surprises there. The guy’s built like a machine. But me? I was still recovering and healing from the lacerations the Lycan King had gifted me so I concluded it was what made me weak.I decided to endure and continue traveling. I wasn’t going to allow such a trivial journey to wear me down and make me the drawback.We continued our travel for some minutes and passed by some cool locations like a beautiful waterfall and a hot spring and I finally overcame the tiredness.— that was what I thought until I crashed to the ground and everything went dark.**I woke up to see more darkness and I panicked thinking I was dead, but then I looked around and realized it was just nighttime.With my motion, my mum realized I was awake
