All Chapters of His Regret: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

{Cayden’s POV} Lord Naí Charlotte had placed the crown gingerly on Isla’s head and the crowd had flown up in an ear-piercing whoop. All around me, the people were dancing and adoring their new Queen and it was obvious that they loved her and trusted her to rule them. Even though I had futilely stolen her for two years, they still didn’t lose trust in her. Unlike me, they still saw the value in her and made her know she was special to them. I have been very skillful at doing the opposite. I drove my gaze back to Isla now and she had a wide smile on. It looked really genuine, a clear sign that she loved being their Queen— even though she was not in a very clear state of mind to rule. That’s Isla. Selfless and kind. The crowd suddenly grew quiet. It was time for the speech. The Lord Luna’s first speech. Everyone was dead quiet now as they gazed in eagerness for the sound of her voice. She started. “Werewolves of the Canine Reigns. It is with a heart full of appreciation and d

{Iska’s POV}“You sure you want to do this, my Queen?” Ralph asked to confirm as we circled around to measure the space for our battle.“You scared?” I smirked.“I’m concerned. But I’ll go easy on you instead.”“Don’t flatter yourself, Ralph.”“I can’t help it. Remember the last time we fought?” He tipped up a brow. “I do but you’ll be making a huge mistake if you judge me with past instances.” “I’m not judging you, Your Highness. I’m only reminding you so you won’t underestimate me.”“I think you’re the one underestimating me here.”“And am I wrong for doing that?”“The results of this fight will be your answer to that question,” I said and stood in my battle position. By now, most of the Combatants had noticed what was going about to happen and had surrounded us on every side, creating a circle of spectators.To most of them that were new, this was the fight of the Century— The Queen against one of her Generals. That’s definitely something you don’t see every day. But their amus

{Isla’s POV} “I have to ask. How do you do that? Like how do you know when to appear?” I asked Natgy, trying to tuck away my fright. Unlike my mother, I was scared by her sudden appearance. I know a Queen is supposed to be bold and all, but give me time. She smiled. “Good day, my Queen.” She greeted me and turned to my mother. “Good day, Lord Naí.” “Good day, Natgy,” My mother greeted back, for which Natgy smiled before turning to me. “I’m guessing your mother has told you about our zany history?” “Y- you both will have to excuse me. I have to attend to some paperwork in my study regarding Isla’s coronation and shifting of office. Have a nice chat.” My mother said and made her way out, dismissing herself from the dialogue. I could tell she was uncomfortable with Natgy around, and if I could tell, Natgy could tell too. “Y- yeah.” I continued, turning my attention back to Natgy. “She told me about how you’re not old and ugly.” “I told you.” Natgy giggled but then she grew bac

{Isla’s POV}“I think General Cayden is waiting for you.” Andrea mouthed, turning back to look at me.“Yeah. I already figured that out.” I said with a sudden frown. I didn’t like the fact that he was here. What did he want to talk about? Boast about how he fought to protect me from the Lycans during their attack? I already balanced things up by saving him too. And I even went as far as thanking him for his service.So, what did he want?Since Andrea and I had noticed him some distance away, we strolled in silence until we got to my Chamber, which was now seemingly guarded by Cayden as he stood boldly beside my Chamber guards with his arms crossed behind his back.“General.”“Your Highness.”I turned to Andrea. “Check me again in five minutes. This will be quick.” I said to her and she bowed but spared Cayden a look before leaving.What was that about? I turned back to Cayden who spoke before I could. “I need to see you.”“Well, here I am.”“Privately.”***We were in my Chamber now

{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
