Moonland
Diana was in her room, pacing back and forth while dwelling over her the things she had said to Zachary during their last encounter.
‘Did I go too harsh on him?’
“But it was necessary,” she chided her inner voice.
‘But his face fell on your words. It must have hurt his feelings deeply; don’t you think so?’
The crease in her brows ceased as her gaze turned glassy. She recalled how Zachary looked dejected and gloomy after hearing her sharp words.
“But it’s for his betterment. I can’t become a bone of contention in his family. This is not what my brother taught me. This isn’t what my parents taught me.” Diana again justified her actions which were posited on the morals and teachings of her family. Her inner self sighed deeply to which her expression again turned sour.
′You also know about Zachary. How muc
Zachary’s P.O.V.I chuckled while strolling towards her terrified form with heavy steps while tracing my bloody sword on the ground.Finally, I got what I wanted.′My Angel, my prized possession’“If I knew that this would make you kowtow this fast, I would have done it at the beginning itself”, I snickered while pointing my sword at the massacre I’ve created. Angel didn’t reply. She was completely silent but her captivating eyes kept spilling endless tears which showed her fear.I finally stood in front of her. Raising my hands in the air, I wiped out her tears with my fingers before letting out a dry chuckle.“Why are you crying Princess of Moonland? Are you regretting your decision of falling in love with a beast like me?“, I grinned and abruptly grabbed her left wrist. Diana yelped as I cinctured my arm around her slim waist before flushing her fragile figure
Diana looked at Rose with curious eyes but was only met with a deadly silence.Not to disturb Zachary’s peaceful sleep, Diana requested Calix to drop her at her abode which he gladly accepted. Throughout the journey, he kept singing praises of her and thanking her for saving Zachary and his kingdom. Diana only smiled in return cause deep down, a storm of fear that was deterring her from signing her life to Zachary was viciously clawing at the gates of her heart.The poor angel barely slept for an hour last night. Zachary’s red-rimmed eyes, murderous face with all those black veins that were popping out of his body, and the way he was snarling at her through his sharp fangs were still fresh in her mind. The past encounter had left a huge mark on her heart making her a nervous wreck. Diana was in dire straits and wanted someone with whom she can share her thoughts. Not having the courage to break the heart of her family who was on cloud nine with her marriage preparations, she opted to
“HOW DARE YOU COME THERE WITHOUT MY PERMISSION??”Zachary blared and shot a murderous glare at a trembling Diana who was staring at him with confusion and fear.“I-You n-needed me and I w-wanted to save you so-“, she stuttered nervously but a shriek escaped her lips when Zachary all of a sudden pounced on her and grabbed her arms in a lethal grip.“ANGEL!! DON’T FUCKING TEST MY PATIENCE!! WHO EVEN BROUGHT YOU THERE?? DID I TELL YOU TO COME AND SAVE ME? HUH!!“, he growled shaking her violently.Diana let out a whimper as she struggled to free herself, “Moon Prince told me that you needed help and- I am sorry I just wanted to help you and Moon Prince-”Zachary’s eyes instantly turned dark. His fierce gaze got pinned onto her pink lips that were repeatedly chanting Calix’s name. He gripped her face tightly forcing her lips in a pout, “STOP WITH THIS MOON PRINCE, MOON PRINCE!! YOU ARE MINE AND YOU NEED TO LISTEN TO ME AND DO THE FUCK I TELL YOU TO DO, GOT IT OR NOT??”Diana started crying
“SCRAM!!”George, Lord Ernest’s youngest son yelled frustratingly while glaring at Ariel who was looking at him helplessly.“Please George, just let me meet him for once. I swear I’ll leave once Lord Ernest turns down my request,” she beseeched while staring at the boy who was shooting daggers in her way. His jet-black eyes that once used to admire her with respect were today filled with sheer hatred. Despite the anger, a tinge of pain was also hidden in them that was breaking her more.As decided Ariel made her way to Theo Dynasty with big dreams but it only proved to be a bad choice. There she was met with hurt and rage-filled glares and was showered with snarky comments. Firstly, the guards forbade her from even entering their territory but luckily, she met George on the way. However, it didn’t help her either.Ernest George was the youngest son and prince of the Theo Dynasty, the most powerful kingdom of Heaven. They were the rulers of Heaven and bastions of its safety and heritag
HellInside the Palace“Careful Angel”Zachary smiled and guided Diana through the stairs who was staring at the Grand Palace in awe. The beautifully designed interiors were decorated with unique and specially designed artifacts, from a mere mattress to the grand throne, everything was embroidered with jewels and gold. Her eyes dazzled with the luminance of the flamboyant chandelier and the silver mirrors hanging on the wall.“I thought you live in a cave but your house is so beautiful. No marvelous. No, it isn’t a house, it’s a mansion but it’s bigger than mine. How come you’re this rich?“, she kept talking to herself. Zachary guffawed and looked at Diana. She looked deep into her thoughts and continued debating with herself. He chuckled at her innocence and lifted her blue gown a bit, saving her from getting tripped.“Sorry for being more powerful than your brother, your majesty”, he grinned. Diana narrowed her eyes at him. She slapped his arm only to hiss in pain, “Oww!! Mad prince
Diana was walking absentmindedly through the Rose Garden. Her eyes were puffy and red from crying hard. Her face was devoid of any emotions but one could see the agony and hurt hidden behind that blank masque if paid close attention.Zachary was about to siege her kingdom, snatch Arthur’s position, and destroy the happiness of the denizens of Heaven. But why? Hadn’t he promised to be her protector then why didn’t he refute when his mother broke that sudden news? Why did he look so surprised? It may be that he was also oblivious to it just like her. Diana got that but should she take this threat lightly and get over it?What if Delphyne was stating the truth?What if Zachary changed his mind after marriage?What if this step proves to be a wrong decision in the future?Her mind all of a sudden jolted back to those days when her family was completely against this marriage. Yes, they didn’t want this marriage to be done at any cost but they never told her the exact reason. What was the m
Rose stayed rooted on her spot. It was her first time witnessing a vicious side of an Angel before. And to pile up the layers of her agony, that Angel was none other than Ariel.Rose was Diana’s childhood friend; she was even Ariel’s bridesmaid on her big day. Rose always maintained a certain distance from Diana’s family. Being a commoner, she knew her limits and never engaged herself in the royal family’s matters. Ariel knew about this very well that’s why she went to her house to personally invite her to her wedding. She even requested her to be her bridesmaid. That day Rose understood that Ariel will be the one who will change the picture of Moonland. One day, she would be successful in eradicating the seeds of partiality, building a new Moonland.A sad smile appeared on her lips. They all used to be so happy then, sharing each other sorrows and celebrating their joys. Those golden days today appeared like a dream to her as if they never even existed rather, it was all her imaginat
“ZACHARY, WAIT! I DON’T THINK IT’S A GOOD IDEA!!”Calix yelled while chasing Zachary who was marching towards Whitestone Citadel with thundering steps. The sound of his harsh breathing was enough to shake the entire Moonland, the greenery of its forest and its beautiful valleys were being charred by the heat of his anger that was emanating through the pores of his skin. His jaw was clenched and his obsidian orbs were craving blood- the blood of those who made his angel cry, who dare to put their hands on his most precious possession, got the guts to cage his love, and made the unforgivable mistake to separate her from him.Enough of child’s play. Demon of wrath won’t spare anyone today.Not even the ones who were dear to his Diana.“HEY, YOU PUNK!! ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING OR AM I TALKING TO MYSELF?? WATCH OUT!!”, Calix screamed when he saw a burning log falling over Zachary but he quickly dodged it. He then swung his golden sword over his crown, cutting the log in half, and continued h
Diana opened her eyes as soon as the mild fragrance of flowers hit her olfactory bulbs. Opening her eyes, the first thing she saw was the sun that was staring back at her from the horizon. His bright red color was now faded to orange. Tears welled up in her eyes as just like her it seemed to lose all its spark and spirit and appeared dull and weary.Averting her eyes, she then looked around only to find the verdant grass, the exotic flowers which had also started withering, the snow-covered mountain which didn’t look appealing as usual, and the huge, lush valleys that were staring at her in sorrow. The birds weren’t chirping either as if they all were silently grieving for the injustice which had happened to her.Diana sighed and dropped her bleak eyes to the ground unable to look at the gifts of God sharing her grief when she felt a cold touch on her neck. She looked down only to find the heart-shaped pendant strung in a gold chain that Zachary had gifted on her birthday resting on h
Calix chased Diana who simply walked ahead lifelessly. He didn’t dare to face her but he felt the need to comfort her. After all, he was equally responsible for the injustice that she had to go through today.“D-Diana” Calix called her from behind but she didn’t stop. He increased his pace when suddenly he felt her figure fading in the air. Shock entered his sapphire hues. Panicking, he tried to catch her but his shoes were abruptly glued to the floor.“What the hell?”Calix growled and again tried but soon his legs were also paralyzed. It was as if someone had tied his legs with an invisible rope.“What is happening? DIANA!! DIANA, DIANA STOP!!” Calix screamed and struggled violently but Diana disappeared in thin air.“NO!! DIANA!!!” Calix shouted and burst into heart-wrenching sobs. He knew what he had done with Diana was unforgivable. He knew everything yet chose to betray her. The girl was innocent yet he kept quiet just as he did in the past. He helped Zachary win her when he kne
Calix had his back leaned against the wall with his hands crossed over his chest. Heaving a frustrated sigh, he looked at Rose who had not for once removed her gaze away from the mahogany door. His eyes then dropped to her left leg which was bouncing non-stop. Calix was well aware that Rose was worried about what was happening behind those closed doors. They both shared the same feeling cause just like her, his anxiety was also mushrooming with every passing second. But the vigorous and harsh tap of her heels was now giving him a headache.“DAMN, Will you please stop this?” Frustrated, Calix bellowed at Rose who jumped in her place.Huffing, he looked away but was startled when Rose suddenly pounced on him and grabbed his hands in her soft ones.“Cal, I am scared. What if Orkus demands something absurd from Diana and threatens her to accept his condition? You do know that your King and Queen despise her to the core. What if they try to take advantage of this situation and hurt her?” S
“Try to understand Princess, he had lost a large amount of blood. There’s no way he would be able to make it.” One of the wizards exclaimed as he pressed Zagan’s chest who abruptly started to wheeze.Jasmine was also rubbing his palms which were turning cold with every passing second. The girl who was always conscious of her looks was in a vulnerable state. Her beautiful, thick hair was messed up like a mare’s nest and her hazel eyes had turned red due to excessive crying.Jasmine was losing hope as Zagan was showing no signs of improvement. He was still losing blood and his wounds weren’t healing. The wizards were losing their minds because their best medicines turned unraveled, extinguishing their hopes.Jasmine looked at the head wizard, “WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE WON’T BE ABLE TO MAKE IT!! THEODORE HAD ONLY STABBED HIS BACK NOT HIS HEART.” She shouted, her eyes shooting daggers.The wizard huffed and threw her a pissed look, “But you’re forgetting that it was Theodore’s sword. The appar
“Please Barbas, there must be some way to cure him,” Delphyne pleaded to the man who was staring at Zachary’s unconscious figure hopelessly.After the fierce combat that took place in the Theo Dynasty, Calix wasted no time and took Zachary back to their home, Binnazun Dynasty. It was because apart from Barbas no one had the power nor the skills to cure Zachary.Diana, Jasmine, and Rose also accompanied him. Zagan was taken to a separate room for treatment while the royal family except for Jasmine who was with Zagan was assembled in the King’s room.Barbas gulped the lump that formed in his throat after hearing Delphyne’s pleas. He opened his mouth to speak only to choke on air.There’s nothing he could do now.Barbas along with his cohort was trying his best to treat Zachary but the wound was too deep. Zachary’s life was hanging on a thread as he had lost a good amount of blood. Barbas left no stone unturned but Zachary showed no signs of improvement. Delphyne was losing her mind as s
Theodore's P.O.V.BASTARDASSHOLEMOTHERFUCKER.And, and-Fuck, I even fail at cussing him.Oh, how badly, I wanted to snap his neck like a twig and then feast on his blood. I was ready to turn into a cannibal today and why won't I? He snatched every person who was supposed to be mine. From Diana to Jasmine, he's taking everyone whom I had developed feelings for. But to my dismay, I can't do anything but simply watch him throwing shades at me.It's my fault. It's all my fault. Why the hell did I let Jasmine go? I was blinded by my vengeance that I didn't even realize when she became indispensable to me. At least she was by my side with her own will. But no, my madness for Diana blinded me to even glance at her way. I pushed her away from me and today when I want her, she hates me to even come near me.Sighing, I looked at my wife only to see her shedding tears for her new lover. The scene twisted the knife in my already wounded heart.What's so good about him? Can't she see my efforts
Christian rushed to George and held his shoulders as the injured prince staggered to the ground with his hands on his chest.George was blazing from the inside but his flagging strength stalled his revenge game. Cursing internally, he then looked at Diana whose blue eyes were already fixed on him.Diana on the other hand had mixed feelings. On one side she was happy to save her friend from this psychopath but the irony was that the psychopath was none other than her friend.To save one, she tried to kill the other.Diana slightly flinched after noticing the pained look in his eyes.Who knew that their friendship would fizzle out one day?But her remorse was only exuberating George.'Maybe she would help me out?'He internally prayed for Diana to side with him but her next words vitiated his hopes."I am sorry but you deserved it."George was stunned but Diana didn't even spare a glance his way and headed to Zachary and the others.Rose looked at Jasmine who was drenched in sweat."Wha
"Don't you dare."Zachary snarled, glowering at Theodore who had his sword aimed at Jasmine's neck. Jasmine on the other hand was numb. Her bloodshot eyes were fixated on Zagan who was lying on the floor covered in a pool of blood.Though Theodore stabbed Zagan, the attack wasn't fatal. The slow cadence of his breath was the signal that the injured demon was still alive but brutally injured. He needed aid or else excess blood loss would kill him.Jasmine frantically roamed her eyes here and there, searching for something which could be of her help when she spotted Diana dragging her feet to a corner. A frown etched on her face but her eyes widened when she followed her steps. Avoiding eyes, Diana was heading to the venomous bayonet that was lying next to George's feet.The same weapon with which Kiora tried to attack Rose.A shiver ran down her spine.Diana had no idea that it was venomous because she was unconscious during the nasty fight. But if by any chance, a manhandling or scuff
Zachary's words came as a shock to both Diana and Theodore.Jasmine’s face beamed with happiness. Nodding vigorously, she ran to Zachary like a child only to be pulled back by a terrified Theodore.Clutching her arm, he coiled his arms around her waist and pulled her closer to his chest before looking at Zachary."S-Sister? Don't play with me, Zachary. You can leave with your wife and Rose but leave my wife out of this. She isn’t going anywhere." He snapped at him but Jasmine could hear his erratic heartbeat.He looked scared and that too of her leaving him?What an irony!Zachary smirked and moved forward. He grabbed her hand and peeled her away from him.“Wife? Don’t make me laugh, Theodore. Yeah, sure she is your wife whom you had never given the place she deserved. Have some shame man and to clear your doubts, yes, she is my sister. The eldest daughter of the Binanzun Dynasty and the rightful owner of not only Hell but also Heaven. She is neither a swindler nor a fucking peasant."
