Anddddd! It’s about to happen! {Hey guys, sorry I didn’t upload yesterday. I made this chapter long as an apology…lol} The Canine Reigns is about to have a King once again… See yA!
{Isla’s POV}I had woken up snuggled up in warmth— Cayden’s warmth. And then I had woken him up with a million kisses. I kissed him on his face, neck, nose, shoulder, lips, forehead, closed eyes, cheeks, side of the lips, nose again, cheeks again, and lips. I had continued that rotation until he had woken up.He had immediately carried me onto his lap and had almost convinced me to have sex with him as he sent gentle fingers down there to stroke me and make me wet.But then I had controlled myself with all my willpower by pushing him back onto the bed and running away from him. As much as I needed it, there was no time for sex. Today would be the day he becomes King so I decided to focus on that. I could fuck the King afterward.And so, I had escaped from Cayden, switched to his Chambers, and had called in the Train of maids and servants who were to get him ready for today's Function. And now, I was standing at the door of his Chambers staring at him while he changed into a blue dres
{Isla’s POV}I continued walking through the crowd, my pace slow and steady and my gaze persistent while resting on Cayden. It was a blissful journey of just a few steps and then I got to the forefront and climbed on the stage. Cayden promptly ate up the space between us and kissed me on my forehead. I smiled and took in his scent— his calling scent.I wanted to bury myself in his embrace and stay there but this was not the place or time.“You look beautiful, Isla. Too beautiful.” Cayden said as he poured his dazzling blue eyes on me. They shone brightly in contrast to the golden hue background behind him, making him ever so charming.“I was about to tell you the same thing.” I said with my cheeks pink and heated. He had his hands resting on my waist and he stroked my back comfortingly.With my words, he smiled at me and then he said. “I know I’m very handsome. You don’t need to always remind me.”“Oh, don’t flatter yourself. I call you good-looking just to be nice. I don’t see you th
{Isla’s POV}The clouds in the skies were stormed with thundering and it sent down streaks of heavy rain that slammed against the Reignile lands and the Palace, hard and suddenly. I couldn’t help but see it as a sign.We all saw it as a sign. Once the crown rested on Cayden’s head, nature reacted and now thunder and lightning were streaking through the skies.My mother's hand came back down to rest at her sides and she then bowed gently to Cayden, and with her, the rest of the people. It was magical. “Your Majesty, the Alpha King.” My mum greeted him with elation and reverence in her tone and then the entire Hall chorused it. The synchrony of their utterance and movements was surreal and I found myself blown away by it. I felt chills trail around my body in that moment and just then, Cayden turned to look at me.He looked breathtaking— a mixture of cute and strong.There was something about him with the crown on. Seeing him wearing it sort of changed the way one was to see him— ch
{Cayden’s POV}Today was the best day of my life.But then I couldn’t really call one day the best because from now on, I would be with Isla— sleeping beside her and waking up beside her, so it’s more like every day of my life from now would be the best day of my life.I’ve been acting like a female recently, being easily emotional and even growing tears in my eyes— About a year ago, I would have termed that as a weakness but now I know better. Being able to feel remorse or your heart being touched by happy events doesn’t mean weakness, it means I’m a real being and a mortal, both of which aren’t bad things. So I don’t fight the feeling anymore as it doesn’t make me less stronger. If anything, It makes me stronger. — love makes me stronger. I had poison trailing in my veins and I searched the stretch of the Reigns until I found Isla. On a normal ground, I would have lasted hours after I abandoned treatment at the Clinic. My love for Isla pushed me and made death my last option.Lov
{Cayden’s POV}I gave the command and she sensuously spread her thighs for me.My breaths grew heavier and I felt a strong pull towards her. Her scent was calling me and it was almost like I couldn’t control myself. It was driving me crazy.Now that we were mates, it felt like I was conjoined with her in some mystical way. I could hear her heartbeat from where I was positioned on the bed and also feel the measure of her happiness. I could read off her emotions from her without her having to express them and I knew she could do the same for me since it was a mutual relationship.It was beautiful.The mate bond was a remarkable concept and I was glad I got to finally explore it with Isla. We were mates once before but it hadn’t felt this blissful— maybe because I was a total Jerk who saw her for less than her worth and wanted someone who was more than worthless— Ivanka.But then again, I’m thankful for how things later turned out. I could have made the greatest mistake by marking Ivanka
{Isla’s POV}“My Queen, can I add one more item to the menu?” Shrilly asked in a hushed voice after he crept to my side. I turned to look at him to see him carrying a huge tray of doughnuts.Of course.We already had enough food on the table but I didn’t want any drama and I couldn’t win him if we debated about the doughnuts so I nodded in acceptance. I had to.Shrilly smiled and went over to his seat on the opposite side of the table where he placed the doughnuts in front of himself like it was for only his menu.I looked over at my mum and caught her talking to my mate and both of them laughing. “Mum!” I called her and they both turned to me. “We’re here to have a family dinner and not for you two to tell each other jokes and laugh.” I told them and Cayden smiled. He rested into his chair, smirking at me.“Don’t be jealous, my love. I’m yours, remember?” He said, showing me my teeth mark on his neck.I frowned at him. “I’m not jealous. I want you two to focus on the dinner and make
{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
{Isla's POV} “Cayden!” I yelled, drawing all the glares at the table to my person. Cayden’s expression still remained straight as he didn’t bother sparing me a look, but in that instance, I wasn’t intimidated by it. I was there to pour out my heart and get answers, and that was what I did. “Who is she?” I started with a solid tone, aiming my finger at the crafty lady on his side. “For the past few days, this woman has been staying in this house and nobody has bothered saying anything? She and Cayden are suddenly so close, and everyone is chill about it? Don’t any of you think I deserve, at least, an explanation for all this muddle!” I was doing so well until my tears betrayed me and began trailing down my cheeks. However, I couldn’t blame the tears because, with the heat in my chest, even my heart was threatening to leap out. “You don’t get to talk to us that way!” Cayden’s mother, Sassaba, voiced as she shot to her feet. “Who do you think you are!” Who am I? Who is she! I motion
