HE STARED AT his red torso in the mirror, his focus on the tattoo of the wolf howling to the moon.
Though a simple yet beautiful design, it caused him the most physical pain he had ever felt in his life since wooden needles were used.
But looking at the result now, the pain was worth it. The light blue Wolf stood on a hill, her face lifted and howling to the moon.
An artist from the nearest coven had been invited to the castle for this job. At first, the artist was confused about why a vampire king wanted a Wolf tattoo.
But Aiden being the smart person that he was, did not say anything. Instead, he blood bounded the artist to secrecy. The artist would die if another person learned of the tattoo.
The only opinion Aiden wanted and cared to hear about the tattoo was Diana's. He could only imagine her reaction. Her forest

DianaIT HAD BEEN two days since she was separated from her friends and two days since she moved into the castle.Diana had never wanted to shoot someone or herself in the head more than she did in those two days. All she had done was eat, sleep, look pretty and repeat.Asher wanted a beautiful trophy mate, which everything Diana was not. He would not even let her lift a finger or do anything that would get her noticed.Thankfully he had not hit her or tried to discipline her, but Diana was going nuts.For someone who had lived four years in the wild and sometimes in hotels, going on adventures, missions and battles, this situation of being stuck and confined in one place were slowly driving her insane."No, I will not allow that," Asher responded immediately."But I will just be training with the females.

DianaOF COURSE, IT was just a trick. What was she even expecting?"Thank you, father, you may leave now," Asher said, as he entered her room.King Lennon nodded and left, but not before shooting her a small crooked grin.That twisted, conniving bastard!"Really? Is this what it has reduced to? Tricks?" She asked."I needed to see how much I could trust you to keep your word," he responded, rolling up his sleeves again.Diana had noticed that he did that a lot. He had nice and muscular arms but she would not be caught dead saying that to him."And now?""There is just one thing left before I can allow you to go outside," he replied, and Diana watched as his eyes darkened slightly. His Wolf was rousing.Diana could face anything but uns

DianaHIS LIPS CURLED into a dark smirk as he stared down at her. Diana's eyes widened, realizing the gravity of her actions. But she would not apologise, never."Did that hurt?" She asked sarcastically. "Well, it should because you deserve even more than that."He did nothing, his grin only expanding. "I will break you, Diana, and mould you to be my perfect queen."His reply was calm and straightforward, leaving her speechless. Diana did not have the time to dwell on it when she felt the most excruciating pain she had ever felt in her life.It felt like hot molten lava was poured on her neck. She immediately began squirming, to free herself and get away from the source of the pain, but her limbs were pinned down.His fangs were embedded deep into her neck, causing white-hot pain to flow through her.

Aiden"WHAT, KING AIDEN? Can't handle a little jealousy?" Asher taunted, as he was being held back by his father. He held his cocky expression, despite how bloodied his face was."Why do you have her blood on you? I swear to the gods I will rip you apart if you harmed a hair on her head," Aiden threatened, struggling in Richard's arms, while the latter tried to hold him back."She is my mate, mine, and I will do as I like with her," Asher replied, intentionally fanning the fires of anger in Aiden."Diana is not an object that you can own. She is a person, a very strong woman who was made to be free, and not caged like a bird in your room!" Aiden raged on."Oh, she is a woman alright. A woman who now bears my mark on her dainty little neck. A woman who is going to warm my bed for the rest of her life," Asher boasted, with a suggestive smirk on h

DianaTAKING A COMFORTABLE stance, Diana waited for him, a moment later, Asher walked into the room. Her eyes followed his every movement."Hello, mate, how do you feel?" His voice came out in a rumble, making Diana weak in the knees.She hated how handsome he looked at that moment. The mate bond was one of the things she most certainly did not miss about having her Wolf."You smell like Aiden and blood. I hope he beat the crap out of you," she said hopefully, as she noticed the fading bruises."I see you have your Wolf back. Will you not thank me for that?" He questioned, ignoring everything she said about Aiden. He was obviously still very cross about it.She walked to the other side of the room away from him, sat on the couch and crossed her legs over each other."Of course." She shot him a fake grin

RobinIT WAS SAFE to say that after Rudolph's explanation, even the birds and nearby animals fled for safety from Robin's wrath.Even the grasses were not spared as a ginormous light ball was now burning in the middle of the clearing, courtesy of the enraged Fay Prince."I can not believe you left her there alone with that monster! Who knows what he is doing to her at this moment!" Robin raged.Rudolph shot him a regretful yet angry look. "You think I do not know that? I have been beating myself up over it every second since then, but what could I have done?"They threatened to kill Lacey and me, and still keep Ana if we did not comply. Ana chose to make the ultimate sacrifice once again."I did not even get the chance to see her... to at least try and change her mind before we were kicked out of the Capital."

RobinAS THEY RETURNED to the vampire kingdom, Robin let two of his guards go before them, while the other guard and Sia's companion walked behind.Robin could not read the female witch. She spoke so little but he knew there was more to her than she was letting on. Robin was never good at figuring people out, he left that for Diana.But this witch intrigued him to the point where he wanted to know everything about her. It was a need that kept on growing the longer they spent together.He could not deny she had the most beautiful brown skin he had ever seen. It reminded him of honey and caramel. Her hair was cut to her shoulders, giving her a clean yet graceful look.However, what he loved the most were the two chocolate orbs that stood as her eyes. Her eyes held wisdom and a promise of power, but most of all, they held inner beauty.

DianaSHE OPENED HER eyes to see someone standing over her. In one swift movement, she had the person under her, with her elbow pressing against his neck."Not that this is a bad position, but I will much rather prefer you to be under me," Asher beamed.Diana looked down to see she was straddling his waist. She quickly tried to move away, but he grabbed her waist, keeping her in place. He pulled himself up, making her sit directly on his crotch. Her eyes widened and she tried again to move away, but once again, his hands restricted her."What are you doing? Let me off!" She demanded, still struggling."Keep doing that, mate," He moaned with his eyes, closing the half lid.Diana instantly stilled as she felt something growing underneath her. She shot him a disgusted look as she realized what it was."You

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
