Miller’s POV
“We have to get out of here.” I said interrupting them before either could say another word. I did not want Max to be anywhere near Isla anymore, he was going to worm his way out of this one.
Isla and Esmeralda looked suprised as if they had forgotton that I was there.
“What do you mean?” Esmeralda shook her head while Isla raised an eyebrow and looked unsure what she was going to say or do next.
Getting out of here would be the best idea. If they knew about Isla, then they would hurt her, and I could not let that happen.
Isla stood up and stared right at me like she had read my mind.
“I’m not going anywhere.” She growled. “I don’t care, I will reject him and make him see how it feels. He will not get away with messing me around. I am strong and nobody will drag me down again.” She spat the words out like a venomous snake.
Esmeralda’s face broke into a big smile, liking the way her daughter stood her ground.
This was.
Max is going to kill me when he finds out I have been freed and Esmeralda is on my side, he thinks he will win.
The jokes on him now.
Isla deserves better than me, I know that. But she also deserves better than someone like Max.
Standing in the room with Isla and her mother is just a crazy feeling.
Suddenly as I was about to move the door creaked open and in it came Max.
He sniffed the air and his nostrils flared as he caught sight of me. An angry growl sounded from his chest, and he sounded towards me so quickly that I barely had a chance to catch a breath.
“Who allowed this monstrosity out the dump, where he belongs?”
“Max!”
His eyes immediately snapped into the direction of Isla.
“Isla, what are you doing in here with him?” Max was clearly not happy about that, which only made me smile. The guy was a complete loser and Isla was starting to see that.
“I, Isla Higgins, reject you Max Lycan as my mate.” Isla shouted causing a huge gasp to fall from Max’s mouth as he grabbed his chest and fell to his knees.
He let out a blood curdling cry of pain as he cradled his head in his hands.
“Accept it.” Isla walked over and stood on his hand. That only caused him to shriek even louder and me to smirk even more.
“Never. I will never accept your rejection. I love you and you are my world.” He cried as Isla continued to stand on his hand.
Esmeralda stepped forward and pulled her from Max. He immediately cradled his injured hand to his chest and glared daggers at Isla.
“How could you do that to me?” He thundered. Isla glared back at him with so much disgust in her eyes, the same disgust that she had thrown my way more times than I cared to remember.
“If you don’t accept it then I will tell everyone about your dirty little she wolfs whore that you cheated on me with.”
The colour drained from his face, and he opened his mouth to speak but nothing came out.
“I, I have no idea what you are talking about.” He stuttered.
“Oh, you thought I didn’t know?” Isla snarled. I had never seen her so angry. Her eyes had turned a purple colour and Esmeralda watched in silence.
“What’s wrong with your eyes?” Max exclaimed backing away from her, but she only smirked and waved a hand in the air causing the door to shut so he could not leave.
“What in the world is this?” He demanded to know.
“You’re a witch.” He gasped as the pieces of the puzzle finally began to fall into place.
Isla aided her eyebrows and with her head held high she laughed at him.
“You finally got it; do you think that you could cheat me? You think you can Make me feel like I was your only one and then cruelly take away what’s mine?” Isla challenged him and he was unsurprisingly speechless.
“What is going on in here and what is all the. wait?” The door flew open, and a familiar figure froze.
“Esmeralda?” Ed stood at the doorway his mouth felt open and his face went a greyish colour.
“Hello Ed, how lovely of you to join us.”
Esmeralda beamed at him and gave a little wave which made him seem slightly panicked.
“Just having a lovely conversation here with my daughter.” Esmeralda bellowed; it was obvious that the anger she felt was no longer containable.
“What?” He exclaimed. His eyes widened when he saw Max on the floor cradling his hand like a big baby. He was growling to himself and glaring at Isla with so much anger.
“What is all this?” Ed was confused.
Esmeralda clicked her fingers and suddenly there were Harry and Eric and another one who I had no idea about.
Each of them looked smug and pleased with themselves as they managed to wrap strong chains around Ed and Max.
Max did not resist.
“Wait, hold on. What did I do? He’s not even the proper Lycan king, are you. Dirty fool.” Ed started to yell as he attempted to push them both away from him but failing badly.
“What do you mean by that?” Isla suddenly jumped up, but I grabbed her by the waist and pulled her out of the way.
Seeing this, Max growled and tried to lash out at me, but I laughed as he was dragged away to the corner for a moment.
“Shut your mouth, Ed.” He warned him and then howled in pain as Isla suddenly managed to pull herself from my grip and lifted her leg to kick him in the mouth. Blood poured from his lips, and he glared at Isla furiously.
“You stupid bitch, look what you have done.” He shouted but Isla was not fazed by him, he did not terrify her one little bit.
“You are a weak and pathetic fool, a liar and a fake. Get him out of my sight at once.”
Isla ordered and even her tone sent shivers down my spine.
“Isla baby come on we can work this out.” He suddenly began to plead with her.
“Get him out of here.” Esmeralda demanded and with that Max was dragged out the room.
“I’m sorry.” Ed started to apologise but Isla refused to hear it.
“Take him away from me, please.” She mumbled and I could hear the pain in her voice and how she was trying so hard not to let her emotions take over.
She looked up and out eyes met for a second.
Then she looked back down at the floor.
Nobody was going to hurt her again.
Not ever.
I would not allow it.
