"SOME THINGS CAN NOT be helped, no matter how much you want to," a voice spoke from beside Diana, causing her to open her eyes.
She had no idea when or how she fell asleep, between thinking and beating herself up. She woke up a few minutes ago to the sound of leaves crunching.
Diana sat up, giving her attention to the goddess. What would she have to gain if she didn't?
She only felt her pain but now, it felt like she could feel the pain of her other parts; Luna and the goddess. Maybe it was time for her to understand them too.
"As a goddess, it is a crime to interfere with the lives of mortals. I told your ancestors that a time would come when I would come and fight along with my people.
"That time is closer than you think. A greater evil is coming. An evil, even greater than the undead. An evil that would consume my

RobinROBIN WAS KNOWN to be patient, or at least a tad bit more patient than Rudolph was. However, in times like these the word patient was not even present in his vocabulary.Seeing Diana being in the state she was, had him feeling an emotion beyond recognition and he hated it.He had never wanted anything more than to see her wake up, and he felt useless because there was nothing he could do to make it happen.Diana was all he had ever known, and is probably the only person besides Rudolph who would have ever cared for him and he was grateful for that.When Gary had him locked in a cage for his personal gain for months after his friends had escaped, Diana was willing to risk her life going back into that horrible place to rescue him.Now, he could not even do one simple thing for her and it was torturing him.

DianaTHE FIRST THING Diana felt was a sharp headache that seemed to be trying to split her head in two. A pained groan left her lips and she heard someone gasp.The gasp was followed by words she couldn't comprehend in her disoriented state. As quiet as it was, to Diana, it sounded like it came from a thousand voices at once.She opened her mouth to shut the voice up but her throat felt like it had grits in it. She attempted to speak again but immediately went into a coughing fit."Here."She felt a straw enter her lips and slowly slurped the cool liquid like it was her last."Thank you," She asked, trying to identify the voice of who was in the room with her but her mind was still too disoriented to do so.She tried to peel her heavy lids open but failed to as they almost felt glued shut.

AidenAIDEN'S ENTIRE EXISTENCE had led to this moment. He had trained himself to be the best and nothing less. His father was the strongest person he knew and also the coldest.Aiden knew his father cared about him but due to their emotionless nature, he could not show it much.He vowed never to be cold to his children no matter how far up the success ladder he would climb. He made that recitation that morning as he prepared for the supreme council meeting.This was one of the times he knew what to expect and even though he feared disappointment, he was more certain than afraid.The meeting was in two days so they had to travel before then. He heard a knock on his door and adjusted his shirt before going to open the door."Katherine, what a pleasant surprise!" he exclaimed, not meaning a word. He would much rather not see the bla

DianaTHE SUPREME CAPITAL of the supernaturals was the most beautiful city in the supernatural world, seeing that it held the temporary residence for all the supernatural leaders.The main residence was a white mansion with golden paint on the windows, doors and other places.The first supreme leader made the layout for the mansion but it was the previous King, Diana's father who built the residence as a safe haven for all leaders.Diana had been here a few years ago with her father. She would meet the children of other leaders and get acquainted with them. That was the first time she met Robin.His parents dragged him to one of the leaders' conventions. They would run about, pranking the servants and guards. Those were the fun times. Now she did not know what the word fun meant.The Supreme capital was a large city with nu

DianaIF SHE WAS told a few weeks ago before she ran into the vampire kingdom that on this day, she would be revealing her secret to the world, she would have doubted it with everything in her.Now, as she stood in front of the huge conference table, being stared at like a circus animal, all she could think was, what convinced her to do this.The first person she caught sight of was her uncle who gaped at her like she was a ghost–which she had actually been for three years.Alpha King Lennon Moonshine was the Alpha of the New Dawn Pack and the younger brother of her father. He emancipated from the family years back due to his greed and formed his own Pack; the New Dawn Pack.After her father died, he jumped at the opportunity to become Alpha King.

DianaA SILENCE FILLED the room as everyone digested the information. Diana was not sure how to react.Did she expect this? No.But did she like the turn of events? In a way, she did.With more influence, she could fulfil her destiny and take what was her parents'.Now, was she going to accept it? She did not know yet.A growl bubbled from the left side of the room, pausing her decision making and Diana turned in the direction of the sound which she saw belonged to her now red-faced uncle."What nonsense are you spewing, King Marse?! You are literally handing over the Werewolves to a little girl who knows nothing about being a leader!" King Lennon raged as he rose from his seat.Calmly, Diana stood up and walked across the room to her uncle with powerful but short strides.&nbs

RudolphTHE STREETS WERE noisy the next day. Everyone had heard about the king travelling and that caused national unrest.People were worried about the zombies returning in the absence of the King. But the bigger issue was the rumour that began that morning.Someone spread a rumour about the King's intention to marry Diana instead of a vampire queen that he was supposed to pick at the selection next year.The rumour was heavily talked about at the market as Rudolph and Robin went to get clothes and some other supplies for both them and Diana."Do you think this is the reason why the King asked Lady Katherine to leave the castle the other day?"I heard the servants talking about it," a woman said from beside the stall that Rudolph was purchasing a pair of shoes for Diana."It could be but then again, is

DianaROYAL TWINS ARE rare but heavily frowned upon as a battle of power is almost always certain.Due to their dominance and power, one twin always ends up consuming the other twin in the womb or absorb their powers. Twin royals rarely survived."So, your crazy twin brother is gathering forces for a takeover of not just the vampire kingdom, but also the entire supernatural world," Diana questioned, as everything became clearer."Yes," Aiden affirmed."Now we know the leader and what his motives are, we can find out his plans and how they operate," King Marse added.Diana nodded. "I suggest we stage an exile. Make it look like the person committed a grave crime and have the person exiled."The person will find refuge in their camp but will actually be working undercover. Only the Kings and this person s

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
