WALKING TO THE mirror, Diana stared at her flushed face. Her neck now sported an extremely big red hickey.
She could not believe she let that happen. If she had not stopped in time, she did not want to imagine what could have happened.
"Stupid. Stupid. Stupid," Diana said as she slapped her forehead repeatedly.
This only proved that she was not as strong as she thought she was. She needed to get out now before it was too late.
She could not wait for tonight as she initially planned. The matebond had been proven to be more dangerous than she expected, and she could not afford any other mistakes.
(•)
It was around evening that Diana got her chance. People were so busy preparing for the party tonight that no one came into her room.
Diana was anxious, she had not heard from L

RudolphTHEY DROVE IN silence again, until Sia broke it. "The crazy doctor that you mentioned, can either of you describe him to me?"She looked at Rudolph, then at Robin."Do you think he is the same one that killed your mother?" Ryan asked her."If he has electric blue eyes, with the craziest blond hair in history, then we are talking about the same person," Robin responded, with a blank look on his face."Indeed, he has all those features, but this one was more beastly than human. I wonder if he went through an upgrade," she mused."Beastly? The last time I saw him, he looked normal to me," Rudolph added."Exactly. So, what do you mean by 'beastly'?" Robin quizzed.Sia tried to picture him. "Um, well, he had blond fur all over his body but he was not a werewolf. The fur just covered hi

"Those sick bastards will regret messing with me," Aiden threatened, meaning every word. With a roar, Aiden threw the phone to the wall, smashing it to pieces instantly. "Your Highness, you do realise that this marks the beginning of a war, right?" Richard asked, warily keeping a safe distance from the king. He knew Aiden was not one to make empty threats. "Does it look like I care? Those mutts will not stand a chance against me. Have you seen their army? "Also, they do not have the finances to even go to war, their economy is so bad they will not be able to afford more weapons." "Do you not think you should consult the Ministry of War about your next step of action?" Richard suggested. Aiden shook his head. "Not while they are under investigation. The Minister of Justice and the Minister of Foreign Affairs can be trusted. Have them see me first thing in the morning." "I know that you love her, but are you sure you want to start a war for one woman?" Richard asked for more

RobinAN AWKWARD SILENCE hung in the air as the others, except Sia and Ryan, looked at the human in confusion."Book? What book are you talking about? "We do not have a mobile library so I can assure you that we do not have whatever book that you seek," Robin simply said, finally breaking the silence. The leader chuckled. "I see the witch has not told you anything, since you still do not know the truth," he said, turning his gaze to Sia once again, who still stood behind Robin. "Seeing as though I am going to get the book anyway, I will tell you. I want you to hand over the Witches' Circle." Robin shot him a quick sharp glare. "Have you been drinking past your limit? Are you trying to tell me you interrupted my journey, for a book that no longer exists?""It most certainly does exist, Prince Robin, and I can assure you that I have drunk no wine. "You creatures thought all the relics were destroyed except for The Crown, but you were all very mistaken. "The book of Creation has b

Diana THE EERIE SOUND of the wind rustling in the empty field sent chills all over Diana's body. Her dreadful eyes took in the scene before her. Bodies were littered on the ground before her. Buildings were all destroyed and no one but her was in sight for miles. Suddenly, it began raining. The rain grew heavy, slashing against her body like a whip. The smell of blood was all over her. She squinted her eyes to see clearly but the rain was blinding and it did not feel normal. She raised her hand, turning it upside down allowing the rain to fall into her open palm. And, as she looked closer, it was not water but blood. The sky was raining blood. Diana lifted her foot to walk away from that place when she stepped on something… it felt like a hand. She looked down to see who or what it was. The person's face was covered with curly ginger hair, coated with blood. She bent to push the face away but was shocked to see that it was Rudolph. She let out a horrified scream, crawl

Diana HEARING FOOTSTEPS SLOWLY getting closer, Diana pushed her legs to go faster. She ran through the forest until her legs were almost not visible. But when she finally reached the border, Diana smiled, no longer hearing anyone behind her, and knew then they gave up. Stopping to take a breath, Diana felt a pressure in her head. She opened the mind link, knowing it was Asher. 'Come back at once, mate, do not make me come find you,' he warned. 'Screw you, Asher. The next time I see you, I will make you pay for what you did to me, I promise,' she informed him before closing the link. As she stood there, leaning against an oak tree, with her eyes closed, all she could ask herself was why she had not done this sooner. After a deep sigh, she opened her eyes and then she opened the pack link with Rudolph. To her greatest relief, it opened. 'Hold on for me, Dolphy, I am coming.' And then she began running again.

RobinCHECKING TO SEE if anyone was suspicious of them, Robin turned and looked around the area. Once he found nothing, he turned back around. "Are you serious? She got out?!" Robin asked. He could not believe what he was hearing. "Dead serious." "That's wonderful news!" Lacey cheered, and Rudolph shot her a wide smile. "Okay then, tell me, how did she manage to do it?""She outran a pack of wolves," Rudolph chuckled. "Flew over the castle gate, and ran like the wind out of there.""I am sure they did not see that coming. I can not imagine the look on her mate's face when he saw how fast she could run," Robin responded, laughing as well. "He was lucky she did not shift, he would have had a heart attack," Rudolph said. Robin gasped. "Luna returned?" Rudolph grinned. "Yes, she did.""I can not believe I ever doubted she would do it. If anyone can escape a pack of wolves, it is Diana Moonshine," Robin boasted with a wide grin. "I can not wait to see her again, but how would she k

DianaIMMEDIATELY SPOTTING HER friends, some other harmless people at a corner, and with no threat around, Diana quickly made her to them, but was stopped by a voice behind her. She whipped her head back to see a dark brown-haired man. "Diana Moonshine, we've been waiting for you," the man said. "I guess you are the one who took my friends," she noted. He nodded. "You guessed right. My name is Commander Larry. I am in charge of this sector of the Evolution." She looked over her friends and was relieved to find them unharmed. "What do you want?" She asked the commander. Larry scoffed. "You know very well what I want, Lady Moonshine." Diana tilted her head, giving him a scrutinizing stare. "You are human so I assume you are working for the doctor." He shook his head. "I work with the doctor, not for him."Diana chuckled. "Do not delude yourself, Commander, nobody works with Gary Young. Whether you know it or not, he is the only that calls the shots. "And, you are just a puppet

Diana"THE CLOCK'S TICKING, Lady Moonshine, so what's it going to be?" Larry asked. "I understand why you might have taken my friends, but what about the rest?" Diana asked curiously. Larry stepped closer to her and leaned near her ear. "Do you see that Witch over there? The female. Well, Lady Moonshine, in her possession is the ancient relic given to the witches. "The 'thought to be long destroyed' Witches' Circle. Do you know what would happen if we happen to get our hands on both the book and The Crown?""The world would be in the hands of a Lunatic doctor," Diana responded in realisation. The entire world would be screwed if Gary got what he wanted. She had seen his mind and she knew how evil it was. He would turn the world into something of his command. His own living breathing zombies. "Exactly. So, where is the Crown?" She wanted to doubt the existence of the book which the world thought was destroyed centuries ago, but she could not deny the power she felt from that wit

Diana 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

Diana "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

Diana "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

Diana 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

Sia 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

Diana 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

Diana ONCE AGAIN, DIANA was confused about what to do. Taking Selene's essence seemed wrong in many ways. Most of all, it would be an added responsibility that she was not sure if she could bear. If she thought keeping a relic was hard, how would keeping a god-like power feel? "No. I-I-I can not do it, Selene. Keeping the Crown is enough work as it is. "For crying out loud, I spent almost four years hiding from other creatures who wanted the Crown. I can not add this one, too, please try to understand," Diana said. "If that is your major concern, then you have nothing to worry about. No one would be able to sense the god-like powers in you unless you decide to let them. "The Crown is just an added benefit, you can choose to give it to someone else but you have to return it to its original form since I will no longer be in it. "Then you can live in peace as everyone will know you do not have it anymore," Selene told her but Diana was not convinced. "What about immortalit

Diana SHE FELT HERSELF falling in space, free-living and weightless. She kept on floating with her eyes closed in the dark, letting the breeze take her to wherever. Suddenly, her body stopped moving and it was no longer dark, as light beams tried to get past her closed eyes. Diana opened her eyes and then her feet finally touched the ground. After her eyes had adjusted to the light, Diana took in her surroundings. "What the heck?!" Diana blurted out. She was surprised to see that she was now standing in the middle of mirrors. The room had mirrors on the walls, the roof and the floor. Diana was a bit creeped out by numerous reflections of her, all staring at her. "I had imagined the afterlife to be less creepy," Diana muttered to herself, trying to look away from her reflections, only to stare at another each time she turned her face. "That is because you are not in the afterlife, Diana," she heard a voice say. "Who said that?!" Diana asked, looking around but finding no

Diana "OUCH!" DIANA HEARD Sia groan in pain. Diana pulled herself up —thankfully without a scratch— and walked over to Sia who was holding her right arm and moaning in pain. "Here, let me take a look at it," Diana requested, and Sia took off the hand covering the wound. Taking one glance at the wound, Diana looked back up to Sia with a blank yet incredulous look on her face. "It's just a little scratch," Diana deadpanned. Sia pouted while looking up at Diana. "But it hurts!" Diana raised both her eyebrows. "Really? You have got to be joking." "Small wounds hurt more," Sia defended. Sighing, Diana rubbed her forehead in frustration. "You know what, I'll just grab the book so we can get this Crown activated." Diana got the book and climbed down to the centre of the square where Sia now stood, thankfully over her tiny cut. "Are you sure you are ready for this?" Sia asked as Diana handed the book over to her. "No, I am not," Diana instantly replied. Sia threw her ha
