Julitta watched as Diana was quiet after asking the question. Her gaze was distant and she could tell the woman was reminiscing about the event or whatever would have been the answer. Right there, she also knew that there was a huge chance that Diana would not tell the truth. She accepted whatever she was going to hear and wasn't going to force the woman. Perhaps it was too hurting for her to remember.

"He... He never really wanted me." She finally said. "I loved him."

Julitta became quiet. "It's alright. I'm sorry for bringing up sad memories as well."

"Neh.. I saw it coming." Diana waved it off. "I hate to see you leave now. I don't know how I can cope alone."

Julitta chuckled. "I tend to have that effect on people. Luckily, we live in the same town and whenever I'm on break from work I could always come and spend time with you."

"What's it like, being in the army?" Diana suddenly asked.

"It's hard, trust me," Julitta answered easily. "Difficult, torturous. Almost like a death sente

    Diana woke up with a start. She sat up in her bed, her heart was hammering in her chest. She placed her hand over her chest as if to calm it down.What the hell had she seen? Was Calhoun alright? How could he have been poisoned? Would he take poison deliberately?She took deep breaths and after a few minutes, she calmed down.Her eyes turned slightly teary as the nightmare she had just seen played before her eyes again.She couldn't sleep anymore. She checked the wall clock. It was past 3 am. She sighed deeply.Perhaps it was just because she missed him, and that was why she had such a terrifying dream about him. She shook off the fright and laid back in her bed.She wasn't a human, she wasn't supposed to be afraid of such fragile and untrue fragments of imagination.She allowed her thoughts to wander far and wide, exploring the depth of her mind, a means of luring herself to a deep slumber.It had always worked for her even as a child, and it wasn't any different now because she had

    A month had gone and Diana had gotten used to the situation of things in the country. She had made a few friends in her neighborhood. Apparently, being a single mom was a big deal and almost everyone wanted to know what happened to her husband or the father of the child. Diana had told the same story. The pregnancy was a mistake and the father was not ready for a child so she had to leave.Some sympathized with her, some advised her to remove the child and return to her husband.Diana ignored both reactions. She did not care whatsoever.She missed Julitta. Also, she hated sitting at home, doing nothing. She only wanted to be out of the house and doing anything. Sightseeing was cool, enjoying the coolness of the atmosphere, and the clear weather. But she wasn't satisfied. Being someone who had lived most of her life working to please people, she wasn't used to being idle.She was outside her house, sitting in a rocking chair. Her neighbor passed by, giving her a stare. Diana pretended

    "Leave her alone," Diana ordered. The man turned to glance at the woman who dared to order him. "Excuse me?"Diana raised her hand so fast that nobody saw it coming and before anyone could react, she had landed it across his face, giving him a resounding slap. The man's head turned to the other side and everyone gasped. Even his subordinates were surprised, they moved back subconsciously.Chuckling, the man turned to face Diana. He saw her eyes glowing a dim red. Although it was almost unnoticeable, he could tell because of how close he was. He glared murderously at her. Rather than releasing his grip on Maggie, he tightened it. Maggie yelped in pain.Diana sent a punch to his jaw and the man's head went up. His jawbone shifted from its position.Diana did not give him a break or a chance to hit back, she raised the table and slammed it over his head, then she pulled Maggie away from his grip.His subordinates were confused about what to do. Were they to fight back or run for their l

    Patricia could not get over what she saw. Calhoun looked lifeless, sunken to the bottom of his bath. How come he was seated on his throne by the next morning? She had run away after she screamed. She even went the opposite way so that she would not be seen leaving the king's chamber in such a rush."My King." She greeted, bowing deeply to show her respect, although it was just a means to cover her fear."Patricia," Calhoun called. "Where have you been all morning?""My king I.." she paused. What was she supposed to say? That she saw him sunken in his bath and assumed he had died? "I was in the servants' room."Calhoun's brow came up in a questioning manner. "The servants' room?""Yes, My King," Patricia said and nodded severally to prove her point. Calhoun chuckled. "What were you doing in the servants' room? You are supposed to serve me, not your fellow servants.""No, my king. I must have gotten exhausted and slept off.""Take her away, she lies." He said lightly. Patricia fell to

Maggie had also prepared some wonderful meals for her and she was so happy with them, she requested the recipes since there were no means of preserving them that easily.Diana had seen her off to the train station and watched her leave. She felt a little sadness in her heart since she knew that she was returning to her lonely state.Rather than sitting at home though, she applied for a job in the post office.

    "Diana?" Maggie called fearfully. Diana's body was covered with fur and beneath the fur felt too rigid. Maggie was sore and afraid. Was this the demon possession people talked about?Diana could hear the fear in Maggie's voice and she was afraid of what would happen. She shook her head, trying to control herself and prevent herself from turning completely but the full moon above her felt otherwise.Maggie tried to pull away but Diana's grip only became firmer. "Diana!" Maggie cried. Diana squeezed Maggie's hand and Maggie screamed in pain. Their neighbor's door went open and she saw the scene before her."Werewolf!!" The old lady screamed. Diana's entire mind snapped and she transformed fully. She ran away as quickly as she could. Before either of the women could do or say anything, she was out of their sign Diana ran to a forest that was at the far end of her town. She ran till she got to the center which was void of any trees as if the place had been intentionally cleared. She turn

    Calhoun was on the ground, feeling the pain yet unable to react or move his body. He could hear the guards discussing amongst themselves."Hey, is he dead?""I guess. No werewolf can survive this special silver bullet!""Oh but look, it's King Calhoun."There was silence. The second guard shifted back in fear."Come on, don't be afraid! He's dead. Don't you see the look on his face? It's like he can't believe he's dead too!""Someone gotta inform the King about this." The first guard said. "You, scared crow. Why don't you go tell the king what happened?" The second guard was more than happy to leave. He had heard stories and rumors about Calhoun and he was not going to be the one to dare and find out if it was true or not.He quickly ran away. The third guard chuckled at his reaction."Oi, I think you should follow him." He said. "Knowing that coward, he might just run away and leave us here alone.""You want to stay alone with this man's carcass? What if he rises from the dead?" "

    Calhoun sprang up from his seat, staring intently at the empty seat opposite him."Enjoy your meal, Mr. Thomas. I have an urgent matter to deal with." He said. Thomas simply nodded. He felt very uncomfortable under Damita's watchful gaze. Calhoun left the room with George hot on his tail.Damita turned her gaze from the door to Thomas whose entire face was buried in his meal."You." She said, gaining Thomas's attention. The man raised his head and Damita was taken aback. He was too good-looking, even better than her husband. Truthfully, Damita never loved her husband. She only married him for wealth's sake. She always wanted the throne and never liked that Calhoun was born. She assumed that her brother would not bear any child since the curse was made."Who are you to the king?" She demanded. Thomas stared on in mild confusion. Who was he to the king? What was he supposed to answer?"Mr. Thomas?" George came in right at that moment. "Come with me."Thomas stood up painfully. He didn't

    The following morning when Diana woke up, she felt more energetic than she had felt the past few days. Perhaps it was because of the marriage and she felt more at peace. She smiled and rolled to the side, expecting to see Calhoun but she was met with an empty bed."Great, the first morning as a married couple and he's not even here." She murmured. "I don't even know what and what not to expect from this man!"She heard a knock on the outer door and she had to instantly pull herself together, knowing that Calhoun would not knock on his door. She got up and picked a robe from the door to cover herself up first.Then she walked to the door and opened it. A new and unfamiliar face smiled at her. The lady looked so pleased to see her and her smile was too nice. Diana just had to smile back for the sake of her sanity. She felt like some sort of celebrity who was before their favourite fan."Good morning, my lady!" She greeted me enthusiastically. "I brought you breakfast. Well, it was Alpha

    Diana was pleased too and she smiled. She came close to them and leaned into Calhoun's arms. Coco stretched his hands to her and she took her head closer."I think he wants to be carried," Calhoun said.Diana shook her head. "He wants to hug me." As she finished her words, Coco's arms went round her neck and he rested his head on her face. Diana giggled and so did Coco. Calhoun watched the scene before him and his smile became wider."Darling, let's go and prepare for the banquet," Calhoun said. "Time is not on our side.""Come on, who would judge if we arrived late?" Diana asked.Calhoun did not want her to notice the decrease in the number of servants. He had already begun his agenda to slay all of them and nothing was stopping him.He allowed her to do what she pleased for the next few hours until she was ready to dress up. Calhoun offered to dress Coco and he dressed him in a matching tuxedo he had gotten after he had seen the one which Diana got for him. Coco wore a mini robe ov

    Julitta could not withstand Diana's glares and every time she tried to raise the topic, Calhoun always changed the subject to something unrelated.Diana noticed this as well but she assumed Calhoun was doing it to make her feel better about the report.When Calhoun left to check on Elizabeth in the clinic, Julitta used the opportunity to go and see Diana in their chamber. When she knocked, Diana came to answer the door and seeing it was her, she made to close it but Julitta grabbed her hand quickly."Let go, Julitta!" Diana snapped. "Will you also make advances at me?"Julitta was surprised by the allegations. Make advances at her? She was straight!"What? No! I won't ever do that, it's gross.""But it's not gross to make advances at Calhoun," Diana murmured.Julitta hadn't heard what she said and just held onto her more firmly. "Look, Diana, I only came to confess."Diana gasped softly. She knew it was true, she believed Calhoun but somewhere, she just wanted to hear Julitta deny it

    "Hi," Elizabeth said softly. "Can I sit here?"Julitta did not respond to her and only kept slipping stones into the small pond."I can understand how you feel about this issue. Diana told me that you had been with her even before Coco was born. I told her that that was very wonderful and that I would be thrilled if I watched her grow another baby in her belly and birth her."Julitta scoffed silently."I understand that maybe I'm not the best person you'd want to speak to, right now. But I will also tell you something else.""Diana always spoke about you while I did your make-up. Oh, if Julitta was here... She would do this and that and somewhere, I got jealous-""Was that why you chose to steal the child's affection from me?" Julitta snapped."Steal is such a strong word, don't you think?" Elizabeth asked, cocking her head to the side. "Look, when I met Diana, I didn't know she had a child. I assumed she was just a young woman, probably engaged or newly married and she wanted to gain

    Everywhere was silent. Would Diana say no to Calhoun? Could she say no? And for the first time in his life, Calhoun felt anxious, somewhat scared of what would happen in the next second. He looked up expectantly at Diana and when she shook her head slowly, his eyes showed the fears he had.Diana saw them and she truly realized that Calhoun was deeply and madly in love with her. If she said no, he could go on a killing spree and then if she came back to say yes to him, he would never believe it was out of love.She took out her left hand and raised it to him. Calhoun let out a breath he didn't know he was holding and he slipped the ring onto her finger."It's not like I have a choice though," Diana said. "But even if I did, I would still choose to marry you."Calhoun chuckled and stood to his feet. He still held her hands in his and he raised it to the crowd."Behold, the future queen of Wisteria!" He announced. "And my wife."Diana leaned into him, fighting the grin that wanted to spr

    Diana lay in bed, trying to fall asleep. She had bathed her baby and dressed him in a cosy manner. She cuddled him under the duvet and tried to sleep.Just when she felt like sleep was coming, she heard a soft knock on the door. She ignored it and the knock persisted."Calhoun, go away. I don't want to see you." Diana muttered."My lady? It's not King Calhoun. It's just me." The soft voice came. "Someone is here to meet you, a lady from the antique store. I was wondering if you asked her to come.""Ugh. What is Elizabeth doing here? I thought I asked her not to show up.""My lady? Did you say something?""Yeah... Um, no. Um..." Diana rubbed her sleepy head. "Tell her to come."Then she wondered how the maid had easily found her in the room. Did Calhoun know where she was and sent the maid to her? If Calhoun knew, could he not even show up at least, to show her that he cared and did not mean any of what he said? After a while, Elizabeth arrived at the room with the maid. Diana had a

    Diana had expected to find more bodies but was surprised to find none. It was just that which belonged to that one servant. She held her chest as if she could calm her raging heartbeat by rubbing her chest.Calhoun was behind her instantly and when he peeked over her shoulder to see what had got her screaming, he chuckled. Diana was such a scaredy pants. How can she be so afraid of a dead body?"Diana...""Don't you dare to mock me, Calhoun?" She warned. Calhoun raised his hands in surrender. "What happened?""I was just rounding the corner when the body fell at my feet," Diana replied. She was still shaken up by the sight."Calm down, darling. I'm sure it was just a prank that went too Extreme. I'll just ask around the servants and find out who has done it." Calhoun said.Diana nodded severally. As Calhoun took a step forward, she grabbed his shirt in a tight fist and held onto him. She did not trust him to leave without her. What if suddenly all the other servants in the castle bega

    The preparation for the banquet was going too well. Calhoun had been extra nice to his servants that they all began to fear. Diana also noticed his unusual kindness to them and she wanted to ask about it, but then she noticed that Calhoun had kept to his part of the deal and wasn't always falling around her like he used to. Somewhere, she missed him. She missed his attention and she wanted to ask about it. But she also did not want to pass off as the loser of the bet. Was it that important anyway? Was it a bit more important than she and Calhoun having the best times of their lives?She walked around the castle, watching the servants go about their usual duties, fervently. She enjoyed the way they did their designs and occasionally she had something to input. And when she did, she would notice Calhoun observing from the side and if their eyes met, he would offer her a charming smile of approval.That was it, it was three days already and the full moon was the following night.

    Calhoun was in disbelief as he realized that the werewolf he had tried to kill was Julitta, his woman's closest friend. The thought of Diana's potential hatred towards him had he succeeded in killing Julitta weighed heavily on his mind. He couldn't help but imagine the repercussions of his actions and the impact it would have on his relationship with Diana. The guilt he felt for even attempting to harm someone she cared about was overwhelming. As he processed the situation, Calhoun couldn't help but feel grateful that he had not succeeded in his attempt to kill Julitta. He knew that the consequences of his actions would have been far worse than the guilt he currently felt.Diana was equally surprised and then she remembered that Calhoun had fed Julitta with the potion that was to turn her into a werewolf. As the realization dawned on her, she slowly stared at Calhoun who held an expression that displayed the confusion that seemed to match the one on her face."You remember too, rig
