What do you think¿
{Kayla’s POV}Just when I had abandoned all hope. Just when I had said “Hey” to my demise, I heard the one voice I never expected to hear in this moment.I heard my sister’s voice. I heard Isla’s voice.— that clear and delicate tone, except that it had sounded deeper. But then, I couldn’t believe it was her. I couldn’t rely solely on my ears to make such judgments. I couldn’t trust them enough so I opened my eyes to see that the attention in the Throne room wasn’t on me anymore. I couldn’t see Isla yet, but everyone’s gaze wasn’t on me anymore so I knew something else was happening. I was still choking in the Lycan King’s death grip with my feet still in the air but it was less tight now so I could breathe— a little.There was tense silence now.…And confusion seemed to linger in it, especially within me as I started to doubt my suspicion.Until there was movement at a far corner and I heard a voice— the same familiar voice again.“I said, let go of my sister!” Isla roared and then
{Isla's POV}.I was enraged.I didn’t know what angered me more— Kunuki exposing my plan or the Lycan King not giving a shit about it. But one thing was for sure. There was no turning back now. — sorry, two things were for sure. The ‘No turning back’ part. And the fact that I’m going to reclaim my home no matter what happens here tonight. I’m going to kill!I looked at Cayden and he looked back at me, his blue eyes stained with the fire burning in them. It felt relieving knowing that he was beside me fighting as my able support. He wasn’t in support of me facing the Lycan King but now that I was stubbornly here, I knew he would never let anything happen to me. It was a calming feeling.But then the Lycan King had his own support, his brother was here. He had introduced him to us after he told me about how Kunuki could read me like a book. So now, an equally imposing Lycan was standing beside the Lycan King. But I didn’t care. My focus was on the Lycan King— Cayden can have his brot
{Isla’s POV}.I sighed heavily when I recognized the figure that had joined the scene.I’ve never been happier to see Cayden in my entire life.There was an aggressive growl.And then there was a blow— a really hard one.I watched Cayden land his fist on the Lycan King's jaw, sending him to the rocky ground now drenched by the rain. And then I watched Cayden rush over to me, dread and worry ruling all over his face. “Isla.” He called my name frightfully and touched my hand that was on my stomach. “Are you okay? Talk to me. Did he hurt you? Did you feel pain? Do you—”“I’m fine, Cayden.” I interrupted him and forced a smile but it didn’t seem to calm him down.“Your stomach, is it—““Cayden. I’m fine.” I took my hand off my belly and allowed his own hand to rest directly on top of it. I smiled warmly at him. “I just need a minute to catch my breath and then I’ll join you in taking down that Wretch. Okay?” I said, staring at the distance where the Lycan King was getting up again. Cayde
{Cayden’s POV}.Isla was all I could think about.Before now, I’ve failed her in so many ways.I’ve failed to defend her. I’ve failed to protect her. And the past is filled with all those memories of me being a self-centered Pilfer.And that’s why I must do this for her. That’s why I must kill anything that causes her pain— kill the Lycan King.The last time she had fought him, I hadn’t been there to help her but now that I am present, I’m going to do my best to make up for my past absence.The Lycan King had bruised her so I was going to end him, and while I’m at it, I’ll make sure not to die as I have a reason to live now.— two reasons.I chased down the fucker, amused by the fact that he was running away, but not deceived by it— even though it seemed like he was genuinely scared of Naí Lord Luna Charlotte. This might just be a plot of his to lead us somewhere where he would have the higher advantage but I didn’t care. I would fight in the sun if I had to.The Lycan King was injure
>>[I'll SUGGEST YOU GET COMFORTABLE-- THIS CHAPTER IS 5K WORDS LONG]’s POV}.I got my breather. I got my time to rest so now, it was time for action. I had urged my mum to stay back in the Palace. She’s sometimes stubborn like me so I had begged her to stay behind and lead the rest of our army to reclaim the Palace completely. I was the Alpha Queen so I was primarily responsible for facing the Lycan King, not her. And I had made this point clear to her before she agreed to let me go. And so I left. I had picked up the Lycan King’s scent but I had followed the scent of Cayden and Andrea instead since they were my core worry. And how relieved I am that I came the time I did. I had helped Cayden up and now he was seated on a fallen tree trunk— there were so many fallen tree trunks, and he was seated in one of them and taking his own breather— along with Andrea and Daniel.“He’s too strong. Like damn!” Daniel exclaimed, causing all of us to look at him. “He makes you think h
{Cayden’s POV}.I felt pain all over the areas of my being— it felt like all the bones inside my body were crushed and all my muscles were torn. But then none of the intensity of the pain could be compared to the intensity of the panic that was tearing through me.Isla.I tore my eyes open to see a very smokey sky. The rain was pouring down in bits but then when I looked around, I realized that a more threatening force was at play. Lava.I hadn’t been daydreaming when I saw the mountain erupt Lava while I had been fighting the Lycan King.We were on a damn Volcano. And the Lava was creeping fast.I pushed myself up to rest on my knees, driving wide eyes around the steaming areas around me as dread gripped my lungs. I hoped nothing had happened to her. I would kill myself if otherwise.My heart started racing faster when, after a moment of looking around, all I could see was Lava and more Lava.I knew Isla had redirected the Lycan King and fought him but now I couldn’t see any of the
{Cayden’s POV}.A campfire was lit and we four gathered around it, but only two of us were conscious… and that broke my heart.I just wish they would wake up. It’s been a day already. I stared at Daniel and he stared back at me before driving his gaze away. We only had each other for our entertainment but we had been instead staring at each other for the past hour because of one fact. We were both quarter naked.And it was uncomfortable. Very.Daniel had sacrificed most of his clothes to make sure Andrea was warm due to the rain and cold that had soaked into her during our battle with the Lycan King, and I had done the same for Isla to keep her warm also. We had done this since their clothes were more battered and soaked. So two guys— two pals, sitting close to each other at a campfire, almost completely naked wasn’t a very comfortable scene to sketch. I mean, I was just a better-angle away from seeing his dick. I didn’t want that.“You were right.” Daniel said, breaking the silenc
{Isla's POV} “You make love to me so close just to throw me so far away,” I muttered in tears as I staggered through the shaggy forest path with my bruised heart and my wounded hope— I was literally drunk on my grief. Almost immediately, I realized I was being followed. I wasn’t quite sure who these creeping bunch were, but I knew they weren’t coming to have a chat. And I clearly understood why. It’s not every day you see the eminent Luna of GreyStone Pack wandering through the eerie Woodlands-- alone! I tried to creep faster now but the swollen weight of the grief in my chest hampered my already shaky legs from making any new advances. To be honest, there was no point in trying to escape from these prowlers. For all I know, nothing they could do to me would equally match my present agony. Nothing mattered anymore, not even my dear ‘esteemed’ life. So death was the least of my worries, and the stream of doleful tears still trailing from my eyes was an extra validation of this f
