THE MOST BEAUTIFUL things are the most deadly and the most wanted things are the most difficult to get. All his life, he had always wanted more… more than he was ever given and more than he achieved.
As an overachiever, it wasn't difficult for him to reach the top of the food chain once he was given the right platform; the throne.
Seeing the wonder in front of him, Aiden only had thoughts of how much he wanted to have and possess. No matter how abominable and unheard of his desire was, Aiden wanted nothing more.
The discovery of what lay underneath the pale skin of the goddess-like Shewolf only stood to add to the already burning desire that kept on brewing in him since the first time he set his stormy grey eyes on her.
The sight before him was astounding. Her ocean-blue fur was thick and fluffy but what stood out more was her limbs whic

DianaEVERYTHING SEEMED TO have happened in seconds. One moment, they were preparing to attack, and in the next, the zombies attacked.After making sure her friends and other civilians were safe back at camp, safeguarded by some soldiers, Diana joined other soldiers in preparing for the zombies' arrival.Their snarls and hisses were coming from the bounding trees across the vampire camp.The vampires rounded the weapons trunks and selected their preferred weapons. Diana grabbed twin swords since Seraph was still in the vampire kingdom.She waited, plagued highly with apprehension as she listened to the sounds of their approaching footsteps.Her eyes met Aiden's worried ones as he tried to send her a reassuring nod which did nothing to boost her plunging morale.It didn't take long for the zombies to rea

"King Aiden of all vampires, it is an honour to be in your presence. I have heard so much about you and I must say that I am not disappointed," Gary said, gesturing to the zombies laying out all around the field."I see my reputation precedes me. You and I know that you haven't come here for a chat."Save both of our time and tell me what you want, Dr Young," Aiden responded in a very blank tone, his facial expression giving nothing away."Oh, please, your Highness, call me Gary. Let's not kid ourselves here, you know what I want."It is in both of our benefits that you hand it over and I will take my men and go on my merry little way," Gary demanded with a wide grin."And if I don't?" Aiden tested and Diana knew what was coming.As she expected, he busted into a fit of giggles. "You are so funny, your Highness. But if you don't-

DianaNO MATTER HOW hidden something might seem to be, life would find a way to bring it to light.More than half of Diana's life had been spent waiting for her other half, the one who would complete her in every way.Learning about soul mates for the first time; filled Diana with so much longing that her young heart couldn't comprehend.All her young self-desired was to feel the love from that one special person. She recalled late nights with Debora, fantasizing about a person she had never seen.She would wonder what their hair colour would be, their eye colour and what they would sound like. Either way, she would have loved them more than life itself.But that was three years ago, and now she was too damaged to feel so much love for another person when she couldn't even love herself.Still, that didn

IN A MOMENT, a thousand things went wrong. Two shots were fired and a body went down, the loud thud echoed throughout the field. In a moment, two hearts were broken.As the body dropped with a pained groan, Aiden gestured for commander Colton to throw the first grenade.Someone screamed at the explosion and Aiden used the opportunity to utilise the moment of chaos.The vampire soldiers moved fast at Aiden's command and before the humans could blink, the vampire had entered their side of the field.Amidst the mayhem, Aiden rushed to pick up Diana from the ground just as Rudolph came running out.Rudolph had a look of anguish on his face with his hand gripping his chest. He took a long look at Diana who laid in Aiden's arms with blood gushing out of her chest and immediately feared the worst.Rudolph choked back a sob as he s

Diana SHE WAS DREAMING of green land and grasses that grew up to her knees. The smell of salt was in the air with a slight chill attached to it. An addicting rush of calmness enveloped her entire being, pulling her deeper into the depths of a different dimension. The smell of nature tickled her nose pleasantly, luring her further. This was everything she wanted; a world, peaceful and devoid of violence. She felt light. Too light. She knew she was in a dream as her reality wouldn't be this peaceful. She let her mind lead her to an unknown place as she savoured the serene feeling coursing through her veins at that moment. The gentle wind blew some strands of black hair into her face as she sunk deeper. She heard some familiar voices, sounding like a faraway echo in her mind but ignored them. She would not le

AidenAIDEN HAD NO idea what it meant to fight for something until he saw Diana being shot as she attempted to save her long last mate.The same mate who would most likely ruin any possibility of Aiden’s chances in his untitled quest.Aiden wasn’t an evil person, but deep down he hoped that her so-called mate would get caught up in the crossfire of vervain, wolves bane and wooden bullets.That was until he realised what he was thinking about, and forbade the thought from ever occurring again.Moreover, he never knew what it felt like to lose someone until he held that same woman in his arms, covered in blood from the bullet holes in her stomach and head.For a minute everything around him froze in time as he held her in his arms, his mind going blank as he tried to accept the fact that he lost her.

Diana THE MIRROR GIVES a reflection of oneself while the eyes see pictures of other people but never of oneself. Diana wanted to think she was staring into a mirror but that was not the truth. Staring into the same forest green eyes she had, chilled Diana to the bone. The figure in front of her had her eyes, face, and every other feature she had. What differentiated the figure from Diana was the dress the figure had on. While Diana had her combat clothes on, the figure wore a sparkly white dress with no shoes. The figure had a flower crown on her head. "I know for a fact that you weren't born dumb, Diana," the figure stated in an amused voice. "You are… me?" Diana blurted dumbly, sounding as much confused as she was and the Wolf let out a wolfy laugh. "I am you as much as you are me. We are the same and so is Luna," the fig

Rudolph WAITING WAS NEVER one of Rudolph's strong points. Carefully watching an unconscious Diana as nurses and doctors went in and out of her room drove him closer to snapping. Diana would always say he had no violent bone in his body but the next doctor who would go into and come out of her room, leaving her in the same condition would get it from him. It hurt, being in that room and seeing her like that. She was hooked up to machines and wires. It pained him to see her so pale and lifeless. Weak was a word that would never have been associated with Diana… until now. They returned to the vampire kingdom a while back, much to Robin's displeasure. Robin wanted to take Diana away but Rudolph argued that they didn't have the resources to keep her alive. The fact that she was alive was nothing short of a miracle. If the bullet had moved further upwards, i

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
