Thanks for reading <3
[Diana’s POV]You knew I was scared to be lonely, and that’s what you left me with.You took Janus away from me. You took Vera away from me. You took yourself away from me.Was it easy for the three of you to abandon me so easily?You are worse than Mask, Zephyr. At least he left me with a hope that he’d return. You left me completely hopeless.What am I supposed to do now? Wait for you? Let you go? Forget you? Move on?I still don’t understand why you pointed the gun at me. Was I in your way or did you really use me to get where you wanted just to discard me later?Which is the real you, Zephyr? The one that you had before we went to the Jupitus pack, or the one you showed later?Was I a game to you because you played me so well? You love playing games, right? I hope I was entertaining for you. But don’t you think two lives are too much of a time to waste on a game?Give me a reason, give me an excuse. Tell me lies because I don’t think I am strong enough to hear the truth.I don’t e
[Diana’s POV] I was in no mood for a party, much less celebrate my birthday, but— “Sure,” I said with a smile. “I will wish for a good job as a birthday gift this time…” “Done,” father said. “... from God,” I said and father dropped his excitedly lifted broad shoulders. I chuckled. After we finished our dinner, father and I strolled in the garden. “What kind of job are you looking for?” He asked. “Something that will make me an instant millionaire,” I joked. “You already are. If you combine all the properties that’s in your name and lands, you already are a multi-millionaire, little one,” he said. “That’s your money, father. Not mine. You are generous enough to give it to me,” I said, and we silently strolled for some time. “You have grown up so fast, Diana. The way you are handling yourself makes me so proud of you.” “You shouldn’t be. Because of me, you have to hear all kinds of things from the elders.” “Don’t worry about those old men. They keep blabbering all the time.
[Diana’s POV]Kazeal stopped playing. Parting the flute from his lips, he opened his eyes and looked at me.“Happy birthday, Messiah,” he said, freezing me under the scrutiny of his silver eyes.But those eyes didn’t scare me anymore.“This was the emptiest birthday wish I have received today. Such words don’t suit the mouth of the person who would have prayed more than me that I was never born. You would be the last person to be ‘happy’ on my birthday.”“Can’t deny that,” Kazeal said plainly.“How the hell did you even enter my pack?” I glared at him.He glanced over my shoulder.I looked back just to see Willa coming our way. There it was. The answer to my question. She helped him get in, which means father might not be aware of his presence in the pack.“Honey… I brought the Saint here…”“I should have known,” I chuckled sardonically at her. “I am sure father isn’t aware of all this, right?”“Honeybee, it’s not what you…”“For God’s sake, just shut up! You are still the same old yo
[Diana’s POV]“I have heard there’s a private party at the Pretis palace after the coronation.”A few ladies gossiped.The coronation took place in a baroque styled abbey in the central town of Jupitus pack. The abbey was opened for the public with a lot of security all around Zephyr.He sat on the ornately designed traditional Jupita throne on the dais.I couldn’t believe it was the same boy who was washed on the shore of my pack, covered in dirt and filth, wearing torn clothes. Zephyr was adorned in the most expensive clothes and crown, sitting as the alpha of the strongest pack far away from the reach of glances of common people.Everyone was talking about him everywhere I went. I was somewhere far away from him in the crowd with Archer and Kazeal. The elders and nobles met him one by one. He barely exchanged a few words with them while keeping a stoic face. There was a time when I couldn’t even imagine Zephyr without a smile, but this was also a part of him. Fake? Real? I don’t
[Zephyr’s POV] “Look who is here,” Aera said. “You said you weren’t interested in this party. What brings you here now? As happy as I am to see you here, it’s not safe for you to be here.” “Hey, come on! We can protect our alpha, that’s what gammas are for. It’s a good thing he is finally trying to enjoy life a little and not just cooped up in his work and bedroom, you know,” Asashi said. “We have got all the deadly varieties in the party tonight.” “I am not here for them. They are your business. Don’t get so distracted that you lose sight of what’s important.” I said. “Yes, alpha. We will. But how do you know your father will send assassins disguised as courtesans?” Aera asked. “Because he is a hungry dog right now. He will catch every bait I throw at him. Monitor the courtesans who have come from east and west closely,” I said. “East is the Wenos pack and West is the Saturna pack. You doubt Saturna packs as well? Even though we have an ally there?” Asashi asked. “Allies are mo
[Zephyr’s POV]Aera and Asashi looked at me, and I shook my head once.‘Tell the security to monitor the courtesans. They will use this distraction to execute their plans.’ I mindlinked with them. “Don’t get distracted.”‘And what will you do?’ Asashi spoke through mindlink.‘I? I will get a little distracted tonight.’I peered at Diana as she strutted on the table with slow, calculated and flashy strides. It seemed as if our gazes were fighting a war of their own.Something in her gaze held complaints, a lot of complaints from me. Those eyes weren’t of someone who had come with to deceive me or ruin me. They were the eyes of someone who had come to dominate and claim what was theirs.While I… I was burning. Burning with the urge to blind every eye that fell on her.The music paced up with the cheers and whistles from men flocking around the table, looking at Diana with hawk eyes.Diana’s every dance move flaunted her every curve. Her breasts, her ass, her legs, her waist — her eyes.
[Diana’s POV] “Were there any witnesses to your marriage?” An elder asked. I stood on the same landing of the courtroom once again from where I had witnessed the massacre. The only difference was Zephyr wasn’t standing behind me. He was sitting on the alpha’s throne right before my eyes as I gave the proof of our marriage to the court. “Yes, my father. Alpha Urza,” I said. “He couldn’t be here himself. This is the letter from him.” I gave it to the soldier who took the letter to the panel of elders. “Did Alpha Urza see Alpha Zephyr sign the marriage contract?” Janus asked, and I looked at him. I didn’t even feel betrayed now. I knew Janus was speaking, but they were all Zephyr’s words. He didn’t want me there. “No,” I said, trying to keep a poker face. “Then how can the court attest that these are Alpha Zephyr’s signature?” Janus asked. I seriously couldn’t believe Janus, my best friend, was doing this to me. If anything, he was one of the witnesses of our marriage as well, but
[Zephyr’s POV]It happened so fast I didn’t even blink, and Diana had the situation under her control.I thought she was shot, but I had forgotten for a moment that Diana was now a messiah and her demonic powers were second only to God.This was the second time I had seen her use her powers, but I could feel the gravity of her darkness that could even stop the wheels of time.The bullet shot at Diana was levitating several inches away from her stretched out palm. While the bullets Diana had shot at the assassin had fatally injured the assassin. The assassin’s invisibility flickered as she crashed on the ground from the ceiling. Dead.Dense black flames erupted from Diana’s palm, turning the bullet into dust in no time.I looked at Janus and Vera, who looked agape from what they were witnessing.If this was the starting power of her demonisation, I can’t even imagine the strength Diana will possess when the process ends.Diana lowered her hand and stood impassively, peering at the ass
