Defenders of the Crown CHAPTER ELEVEN
OTHER CLANS HAD come to take refuge in the Kingdom, therefore, limiting space and resources. It had been a busy week in the kingdom as more people were settling in. Diana saw less of the King as he was busy with the new clans.Diana had expected the influx of vampires into the kingdom. If the attacks persisted, there would be no more clans, just the main kingdom. The same was heard of the other kingdoms.She was preparing her plan for the alliance when she heard the warning bells ring. Her heart skipped a terrified beat when she recalled that Robin and Rudolph went into town to get supplies.Dropping the papers in her hands, she dashed out of the strategic room and ran through the corridors. She left the castle unseen and blended into the crowd of running vampires.She almost choked on the stench of so many vampires at once but focused on getting to her friends. Her wolf reeled back in re

DIANA FELT ON edge the closer it got to their death anniversary. She had a feeling something big was going to happen soon but she had no idea what.The day after the incident at the town centre she had a meeting with the strategic team to find a solution for the zombie attacks. She brought up the idea of capturing a living zombie for testing so they could find out what was used to create them.That way, they could create zombie specific weapons. Hence why at that moment, the soldiers were on the outskirts of the town on a zombie hunt. She stayed back with the planning team and doctors, preparing the lab for the zombie.The Vampires lacked scientists and the equipment the Fay people had but they would have to make do with what they had. It wasn't like they had another choice.Currently, she was watching her two friends argue with the doctors about whether bats were vampires or not. She could tell the

RudolphRUDOLPH'S HEART CLENCHED, and suddenly, all he could feel was this gut-wrenching agony that he knew was not his."What's wrong?" Robin asked upon seeing his pained expression."I don't kn...arrrgh!" Rudolph began, but from the stinging sensation from the black swirl in his back, he was cut short when he cried out.'The black swirl,' The thought popped up in his head, and as if on cue, realisation dawned on him."Ana!" Rudolph whispered to himself, and before he could process what he was doing, he was already fleeing the lab like his butt was on fire.It was not long before he reached the King's study and barged in without knocking.Scanning the room, Rudolph spotted the source of his discomfort sitting on the wall, shaking and whimpering with the King kneeling next to her. The sight of Diana's state was eno

DianaIN ONE MOMENT, Diana's perspective of the King changed. She had heard rumours of human meals but it was her first time seeing it in person.What was the use of the blood bags she saw all over the place if the King still used humans?She couldn't help the disgust that painted her face at the thought as she watched the scene before her eyes.King Aiden pulled his bloody lips away from the dazed human and sent her on her stumbling way. Opening his desk's top cabinet, he pulled out a white towel and gingerly wiped his lips with his gaze not leaving Diana.The edges of his lips quirked up in amusement at the look of disgust on her face. He smirked, ensuring that she saw the gleaming ends of his pearly white fangs which he licked clean."Sit, Lady Moonshine," King Aiden spoke, the look of amusement leaving his face and being replaced by curiosity

AidenSHE WAS THE fiercest and bravest person he had ever met… besides himself of course. And he just couldn’t imagine someone doing anything bad enough to break her.He got that the man murdered her entire family, but the distant look in her eyes held so much pain… So much more darkness… And way more emptiness than the loss of your family could’ve ever caused.It was like she had lost her very soul, with no way of getting it back.Diana had been through a lot considering her age, but she was also strong, brave and smart, and he admired that about her.It was almost as if he was beginning to like the type of person she was, even though their species had never gotten along for centuries.The past couple of days since she had been staying in his home, he had overcome way more than he could’ve ever imagined doing long befor

DianaANOTHER LETTER WAS sent to King Aiden, cancelling Diana's plans to travel to the other kingdoms. There were things far more important than her travelling.To find an antidote, the zombie in the lab was currently being tested, but no breakthrough was coming forth. She made a mental reminder to go to the lab later to see their progress.The King's words lingered heavily on her mind, making it almost impossible for her to rest. She knew he was right about the doctor going after Rudolph and Robin and the last thing she wanted was for them to go through what she did.The memories of those haunting six months were buried deep in the void that was her mind… or so she used to think. Hearing that name from the King's lips brought out memories she had tried so hard to keep buried.Aiden knew something more happened between her and the doctor. Something she wa

AidenA KNOCK SOUNDED on the door of Aiden’s study, and after the person on the other side heard a faint ‘come in’, it was pushed open.As soon as he saw who that person was, he automatically placed down the pen he was using to scribble important information on the piece of paper.“Katherine,” the king greeted gingerly, flashing her his pearly white teeth.“To what do I owe this pleasant surprise? Did your father send you?” He questioned shortly after, and the corners of the dark-haired vampire’s lips tilted upwards to accommodate a smile.“No, your highness. My father didn’t send me…, I doubt he even knows I’m here,” she responded honestly, and King Aiden found himself wondering… if her dad didn’t send her, why was she there?As his lips parted to ask the questi

DianaAT THAT MOMENT, it seemed like a light bulb flashed in all their heads. The doctors immediately scurried away to get the samples of vervain and melted silver while the rest waited patiently."A genius, that's what you are," Diana praised Rudolph who grinned at her proud mother's face."Who do you think taught him everything he knows?" Robin boasted while ruffling Rudolph's messy curls with the latter scowling at the action.Diana scoffed. "That's not how I remember it happening. If I recall correctly, Rudolph taught you everything you know about science.What was it you were so good at again?" She paused as if she was thinking about it while giving Rudolph a look.A look of realization crossed Rudolph's face as Robin groaned, knowing what was coming. Robin watched as the two stared at each other in silence for a few seconds then sighed, know

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
Defenders of the Crown CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED & TWENTY-FIVE
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
Defenders of the Crown CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED & TWENTY-FOUR
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
