Chapter: CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED & THIRTY-TWODiana DEEP IN HER thoughts, Diana did not realise that Sia had finished, and was now standing in front of her. "By the gods!" Diana exclaimed in astonishment as she took in the sight of her now imprinted friend. Unrecognisable words were tattooed all over the visible parts of her body except her face. "Does it look that bad?" Sia asked shyly. Diana quickly shook her head. "Of course, not! You look fierce, powerful and just as beautiful as you have always been." Sia looked at Diana with a timid smile on her face. "Thank you, Diana." "Do you feel any different? Does it hurt?" Diana asked. "It only tingled for some time and then nothing," Sia responded with a shrug. "And the book? The spells?" Diana asked again. "The book is gone now, and the spells…" Sia pointed to her head. "It's all in here." "That's perfect. Now, let us go back to the field and wait for Gary and Corbin. Gary expects that I have the Crown and you have the book. "But things have changed and those l

Chapter: CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED & THIRTY-ONEDiana "FOR THOSE OF you who have not met her, let me introduce you to Princess Diana Moonshine, daughter of the late King Dillon Moonshine. "She used to be the leader of the strategic team before she left. Now that she is back, she will continue to be the leader. "Stephan here will assist you, Diana," Aiden said, pointing to a man standing near Richard. Stephan stretched out his hand for a handshake, to which Diana took, immediately feeling his cold hands, and shook it. He held her hand for much longer than she would have liked. But she did not have to do anything because Aiden cleared his throat while glaring at Stephan. Diana pulled her hand back and turned to face Aiden. "What is going on, Your Highness?" "Less than an hour ago, I got a call from King Marse. His kingdom was hit by the Evolution. "He did not get enough time to call other kingdoms for backup before they were defeated. The same thing happened with King Fredrick. "We have lost the support of two kingdoms

Chapter: CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED & THIRTYDiana "I KNOW YOU may not believe me, so I want to show you something," Aiden said, then began taking off his shirt. "What are you doing?!" Diana asked in a high pitched voice. When she caught sight of his torso, Diana became tongue-tied. On his body was a beautifully drawn image of her Wolf form. Every little detail was perfect. The colour on her, and the golden markings, it was all there. She blurted out the first thing on her mind. "Wow, you actually did it. You got a tattoo." "Yes, and you are the only picture I want to see inked to my skin. The only one I want to see whenever I look in the mirror," Aiden responded. "It's beautiful," Diana complimented in awe, not taking her eyes off the tattoo for a moment. It felt unreal and impossible. Diana half expected to wake up at any moment and realised that all of this was a dream. Diana pulled her hands away from Aiden's view, closed her eyes, and discretely pinched herself. Opening her eyes, she half expected to wake u

Chapter: CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED & TWENTY-NINEDiana LATER THAT DAY, Diana was left alone with her friends. Sia had gone to meet Janessa and Ryan, while Aiden went to sort out matters concerning his kingdom. Rudolph filled Diana in about his situation with Lacey. Diana tried to understand what could be wrong with Lacey but came up with nothing after each thought. "Do you recall anything you did wrong before she became distant?" Diana asked. "No. I know for sure that I did not do anything wrong," Rudolph responded. "Then what could be the issue?" Diana mused. "Trust me, I have been wondering about that since we returned from the Fay kingdom. "Since she saw me hugging Janessa, she totally cut me out. She does not even want to see me," Rudolph said with a frustrated sigh. "Okay, calm down, let me talk to her. Maybe I can get through to her," Diana suggested. Rudolph instantly perked up with a smile. "That would be a lot of help. Thank you, Ana." "But first I have to talk to Aiden. I will go to Lacey afterwards," Diana

Chapter: CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED & TWENTY-EIGHTSia ON ARRIVING AT the border of the vampire kingdom, Diana was recognised by the guards, and they helped Sia carry her to the castle. Without saying a word to Sia, Robin took Diana from the guards and began walking to a room. Not wanting to be apart from Diana in that state, Sia followed Robin and Rudolph. After Diana had been placed on a bed, Sia and Diana's friends sat around her, staring down at her in concern. Soon, a tall man strode into the room. He moved straight to Diana's side and her friends scooted over for him to sit beside her. Sia instantly recognised the King of vampires. "Your Highness," she greeted with a bow. "Explain," he said bluntly, as he grabbed Diana's small hand in his large ones. His eyes were cold and stormy but they held warmness for the female laying on the bed Sia watched the scene in confusion, wondering what the hell was going on. She knew Diana was close to vampires but she did not realise Diana was this close to them. "Yes, Sia, pleas

Chapter: CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED & TWENTY-SEVENDiana IT WAS NOT certain to Diana how she found herself standing face to face with Selene. She felt the glass in front of her and indeed, she was now inside the glass which was a lot bigger than she thought. She turned to Selene. "Things get weirder and weirder at each step, but it is no longer surprising." As expected, Selene smiled. "Only you would be relaxed about standing inside a mirror." Diana shrugged. "Try having two other different personalities inside you, fighting zombies for four years, and being tortured by a crazy lunatic. "I guess strange things is my new normal. It no longer seems foreign to me anymore." "About Luna, it is actually my fault. You were right, wolves are not supposed to have a separate consciousness. "I tried to keep my sickness from you but I could not stop my mind from creating another consciousness in your head. "I wanted to take her out, but it would not work. So, when I saw how harmless she was, I decided to let her stay. "This just a

Chapter: ONE-HUNDRED AND FIFTYThunder rumbled all throughout the house and suddenly, lightning struck right outside of his room. “Oh, goddess, I hope it doesn’t strike right here.”The lightning struck right outside his room. It cracked like firecrackers in quick succession.Archer stopped dead in his tracks, feeling as though he’d seen something horrible. Then, slowly, he stepped away from the door. He stood staring at the door, feeling uneasy. He didn’t understand why he was so unnerved or what exactly he could sense. His instincts were telling him to run, but he shakes it away, and walked through the door. What he saw in the hallway shook his core. Clarissa sat there on the floor in front of the bedroom door with her knees tucked to her chest. Her long red hair fell over her face like silk in a dark waterfall and her eyes were closed shut tightly. A pool of blood dripped from her chest onto the carpet which appeared black in the gloom of the room. He stood there motionless at the sight of his wife’s lifele

Chapter: ONE-HUNDRED AND FORTY-NINEClarissa and Archer sat down opposite each other at the dining hall as they dug into an apple smoothie and chicken rice with sauce. It was so delicious to Clarissa and she found that she was eating more than was required. Who could really blame her, it was a bit too much, and she liked the whole vibe of it.“It’s so good sitting here being silly, and trying to mind our business. I truly love it for us, and no matter what people say this is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I’m glad I met you, babe,” Clarissa said softly.Archer rose her brows at him. She honestly didn’t understand what he was talking about. Though, she was trying to do so. It was so weird all the things that were being said today and she wanted nothing more but for things to go on smoothly.“What do you mean by this statement? Are you saying that there are some people who don’t want us to be together right now?” Archer asked angrily.Clarissa bit her lips as she realised what she had said. She shouldn’t hav

Chapter: ONE-HUNDRED AND FORTY-EIGHTWho was calling right now? Archer groaned slightly as he sat up in bed. He pulled his hand slowly away from Clarissa and tried to grab his phone. It was sitting at the side of the door and he picked it up casually. The caller was his mom. Archer smiled slightly as he rolled out of bed, and walked over to the window. The morning sun was so refreshing on his skin, and he wanted nothing more than to have peace of mind at such a deadly time. He craved it so much. It hurt.“Mom?” He asked softly as he picked up the call.She sighed. “Yes, it’s your mother. How could you not call me even once to know how I was doing these few days? I’m always the one calling you every time. Yet, you answer the call like you have no idea that I’m the one. Jeez! How can you be so mean to me now?Archer sighed. He was feeling a bit bad, but it hadn’t completely been his fault because so many things had been happening that he needed to put under control. He wished that everything would be normalized so he coul

Chapter: ONE-HUNDRED AND FORTY-SEVENLater that day, Clarissa came back up the room. She noted that Ryan was leaving, and when she saw him, they smiled at each other. There was no bad blood towards him from her side, and honestly, she didn’t care about the majority of things, and one of those things was the present situation on the ground. Archer had been asking her what she thought about making a new legacy for Luna. She didn’t really care for that yet.Clarissa believed that he was rushing things too much, and trying to prove a point. Though, she didn’t know what point that was yet, she was positive that he wanted to create an impression by using her as bait.If he didn’t like some of the practices that Luna made then he had a choice to nullify them and make better decisions on the subject. Yet, he chose not to do so. Clarissa honestly didn’t care about the whole thing, and she was only trying to fit in because of him. If not, she had no business being here, and being a part of their home. She really didn’t care about

Chapter: ONE-HUNDRED AND FORTY-SIXIt’s been 5 days. Alpha Archer was seated in his room, wondering when he was going to officially make Clarissa the Luna of his pack. He couldn’t wait anymore. His mother was the only one delaying the whole thing.He knew for a fact that he loved her so much and that was on period. He couldn’t think of another woman who could fill up his life as she did. She made everything so beautiful and amazing. She was his rock in more ways than one, and he was proud of her for that singular reason. There was nothing as beautiful as the care that she exuded.Archer sighed as he walked to the mini bar at the side of the room. He took one of the empty glass cups and poured a shot of gin into it. He drank it in one swoop. There were so many things that he needed to put in place, and that was the troubles he had come from. It was not fair that he had to think of so many things in a moment. Clarissa needed attention, and he was not there to give her that attention. Archer really felt bad about this. H

Chapter: ONE-HUNDRED AND FORTY-FIVEIt’s been two days of staying indoors, and Clarissa was so hungry and tired, but trying to put herself together. But, she was on the brink of exploding. This was too much for her, and she couldn’t understand why she had to stay there like she was happy.A knock…This has been going on for two days. The maids had been trying to seek her attention, but she was always turning them away. She was just sick and tired of their nonsense, and she wanted them to get lost, but they didn’t seem to wish to leave her alone.The knocks became persistent.“Get the fuck…”“Clarissa,” Archer’s voice rang out.Clarissa jumped out of bed in shock. Alpha Archer was back? She ran to the door and sprang it open. Despite everything, she couldn’t help the feeling of pure joy as she looked up at him. He was right here with her. She threw her hands around his neck, hugging him hard. His fingers slid to her waist, and he grabbed her back with shameless abandon. There was such intensity in the way he did his thi

Chapter: Chapter FiveI looked up to see Leander's face just inches from me. Regret was flooding through my body because I hadn't thought about how this would affect my parents. I was on my knees and he was on his, while looking at me.Before I gave it a thought I wrapped my arms around him and hugged him tightly. He put one of his hands on my back and the other behind my head, keeping me on his shoulder.He then started to rub circles on my back and run his fingers through my tangled messed up hair. "Don't ever do that again..." he said seriously."Your parents love you! People still care about you. I still care about you... and you can't just end your life like that, Valerie. Do you understand! "Didn't you see how happy your father was when he saw that you had awakened? Or the sad look your mother had when she tried but failed to calm you down when she came back and saw you in tears? Now picture them when you aren't here anymore, Val!"I sobbed into his neck as he continued to talk to me patiently. Was

Chapter: Chapter FourFor a moment I wondered why she was acting weird, but my thoughts were interrupted when my father and Daniel's friend, Leander, walked in.Once I made eye contact with my father I noticed so many emotions all at once. Relief that I was alright, a deep sense of sadness over the accident, worry was clearly in front but anger was present as well."Valerie!" Thank the Lord you're okay!" My father said out loud as he rushed up to give me a hug. His eyes were bloodshot and his face was pink. His voice was strained and he looked beyond tired."And here I thought big men don't cry," I said jokingly. He looked embarrassed for a minute as he turned around to laugh with Leander."Hello, Val. I'm glad to see you still have your sense of humour," Leander said as he walked towards the window side of my bed. "Where's mother?" I asked, looking at the doorway."She's at home resting. For the past four days in a row, she wouldn't leave your bedside. "After we fought yesterday about her getting some r

It began with a series of tiny explosions that went off behind my hazel-coloured eyes, intense detonations of pain that heralded my return to consciousness.With my eyes still closed I slowly registered the sounds surrounding me. The grating rasp of a respirator. The high-pitched blip of a heart monitor. My own blood rushing in my ears, obliterating every coherent thoughts, except for one. Pain.The mere act of parting my swollen lids was agony personified, and yet I tried anyway. Tears leaked from my eyes, bruising the corners with my effort, but yet I still persisted.I could feel the painful shift in my spine, the awful heaviness in my legs and the tingling

Chapter: Chapter TwoI felt comfortable. I knew my fate and yet I was surprisingly calm about it. Why struggle and worry your last few moments to live? Just think about your life as though it was flashing before your very own eyes. Then I felt something or rather someone grab my shoulders.When I opened my eyes and blinked a few times, I saw it was Daniel. He was struggling under the pressure of the water as he tried grabbing my wrist. We struggled a little more climbing over the seats in the car.I tried fighting him, I was just extra weight to carry, but he didn't seem to care. I was becoming more and more unconscious by the minute.My eyes were hard to keep open in the water as I was being dragged to the back of the car.There was a small little crack in the back window as he tried to slam his foot against it, trying to break free. He was losing his breath quickly as he put as much force in the last kick. The window broke free and the pressure of the water came crashing in really fast, forcing us back

Chapter: Chapter OneWhen someone dies, it's supposed to be sad but having to watch it all happen before your very own eyes is devastating. Out of everyone in both vehicles that night, I was the only survivor. The driver in the other vehicle, died at the wheel, paramedics said he had a heart attack. I saw the truck heading into our lane but by the time my mouth could formulate a response it was already too late.If I had said one word, or uttered anything about the truck, maybe Daniel would still be alive. The accident happened in slow motion. One moment we were laughing but then the next, my mind seemed to have stopped time.As the impact of the truck crashed into us, we slammed back way too fast and I felt the car start to fall off the ledge. I looked to my left at Daniel before the car fell off the bridge and saw blood dripping down his forehead just from the impact of the hit. "Daniel! Daniel!" I screamed, but it was hopeless and deep down I already knew that, I just didn't want to face the truth. I
