2024-10-29 19:42:56By the next morning, Diana had still not come out. Thomas was getting angrier by the second. The king clearly requested for him to come with his family member, how come she didn't want to come along.
"Diana! Why, you make me so cross!" He fumed. Diana remained still in her room. She knew that she was only adding to her troubles.
"Why don't you go and answer the king, Tommy." She mocked. Thomas banged the door even harder at the sound of her mockery filled voice.
"You stinky brat!"
"Go on. I have a lot to do today. Once I'm done, I will come and see the king with you." Diana bargained. Thomas agreed instantly. Anything to get her out of the room. Once they returned home, she was going to see hell!
He hired a cab and left for the castle.
Calhoun was at the tower of his castle, looking down at the vast kingdom. Being a feared king was one of his treasured traits. But now, if he wanted to break the curse, it really depended on how feared he was. He hoped that the man would really come with the girl. When he saw the cab stop in front of the castle, his stoic face cracked into a small smile. He watched the man come out, waiting for the girl. Alas, his wait proved useless because the cab man drove off. The small smile that cracked his cold expression seemed to freeze and then disappear. Did the man want to defy him?
"Sire, it seems that the man you requested for has arrived." His assistant said to him. Calhoun didn't move an inch.
"Did he come with any member of his family, George?"
"No sire. He came alone." George answered with a bow, despite having Calhoun's back to him.
Calhoun hummed. "Then I shall not see him. He did not fulfill the requirements for today's meeting."
"What shall I tell him, sire?"
"Tell him I said if he wishes to defy me, he should do it completely. So that when I visit him in rage, he shall have no guilt whatsoever."
George bowed again and left. Calhoun squinted his eyes at the castle gate. He stood there for hours, staring at nothing in particular. No one ever could defy him. Not his second in command, not his third in command, not any noble in town. He was the Alpha of Wisteria. Curse or no curse, he was unstoppable.
Calhoun returned into the castle after spending a few hours, doing nothing, to find the man still there. He turned to glare at George who had his face to the floor.
"Seems like someone has become incapable." Calhoun said, tapping his chin. He walked around the meeting chamber with his thick scarlet robe, making a trail after him. He walked with all manner of pride and dignity, to the throne where he sat. His movements were very precise.
"Why is he still here, George?"
George bowed again. "My king, I had asked him to leave. But he returned a few minutes later with a young maiden, saying she was his family member."
Calhoun became interested. "Well, where is the family member? Is she a ghost?"
"She left, sire." Thomas replied. Calhoun ignored him totally. After a few seconds of silence, he smirked down at Thomas.
"She left? How disrespectful." He murmured. "Do you know the punishment for refusing the generous offers of the king?"
Thomas bowed. Truly, Calhoun was a menace. Listening to him bellow from his throne was akin to hearing the voice of the gods.
"Forgive me, My Lord. I'm sorry on her behalf. I will bring her to apologize personally to you." Thomas begged.
"Apologize? I do not need apologies." Calhoun said.
"Then what can we give to you, My Lord?"
"I want her as a slave."
"S..slave? My Lord, what if she refuses?" Thomas stuttered. He knew how stubborn Diana was. She was never going to accept being a slave.
"Figure something out. I give you twenty-four hours, Thomas. If Diana isn't in my castle by then, you will have your head rolling." Calhoun said with a small smile. Thomas gulped. He bowed and left.
Diana sat beside her step father in the cab that took them to the castle. Although she was unnerved, she also couldn't help but notice that Thomas seemed happier that she was leaving.
"You look as if you are the one marrying the king." Diana whispered. Thomas scowled at her.
"Don't utter such nonsense about the king. Learn to close your mouth and briddle your tongue!"
"What's there to briddle? I was only asking.." she shrugged. "I was only making a reference to your happiness. It's more unnerving than the thought of being married to King Calhoun."
Thomas scoffed. "Keep your mouth shut and let me do all the talking."
Diana turned her face away. She looked through the window, watching the road through to the castle. The cab slowed down at the entrance to the castle and she came out with Thomas.
Diana stared at the mighty but familiar building before her.
She was once again here. For the third day in a row. But now she was here for a different purpose. To be married to the king.
She wondered what he looked like. Alighting from the vehicle, she turned to take a quick glance around the castle. The previous day she was mad and hadn't bothered to enjoy the castle's beauty. The other previous day, she was bothered by how to escape, also it was night.
Her eyes went up to a particular side of the castle. She thought she could see a man staring down at her. She blinked twice and the man was no longer there.
"Diana! What are you staring at?! Hurry up and let's get in!" Thomas whisper yelled. Diana scrunched up her nose. She followed him into the castle. The servants would occasionally stare at her.
Diana frowned a little. The castle did not look like they were preparing for a marriage. What exactly was going on? She narrowed her eyes at her step father. He looked way more happier than he was supposed to.

George was the man who had seen them. He had watched them come in and ran to meet Calhoun in his chamber, dressing up. He was dressed in a white shirt and grey pants. Then he wore his purple robe over his attire. He stood before the mirror watching as the maids dressed him up. Very soon, it will be Diana, his personal maid, dressing him up so nicely."They are here, my Lord." George said, bowing slightly. Calhoun turned left and right before the mirror."What do you think, George? Do I look like a man who is ready to accept a woman?" Calhoun asked lightly. George frowned slightly."Pardon me, my Lord, but isn't the lady going to be employed as a maid in th castle?" Calhoun turned to stare at the man. "Maid? In the castle? No no no no no.""Diana is going to be bought, a slave for the king. She isn't a maid for the castle. Meaning, she serves only me."George scratched his head. "I might have misunderstood then.""I hope you haven't blabbed a thing to the poor lamb." Calhoun said dist

Diana found her way to the kitchen. It wasn't difficult to locate, considering she started the journey from the dining.She didn't know who Nichole was, and the other maids didn't know who she was, so they couldn't respond to her. They treated her like thin air."Nichole?" She called aloud. A few maids turned to see who dared to call the head maid so recklessly. "Who are you?" Nichole answered from behind."Hi, I'm Diana. The king asked me to get him wine mixed with blood from you." Diana said.Nichole sized her. "Are you the new maid?""New, yes. Maid, certainly not."Nichole eyed her again. "Where did you come out from?""That's a rude thing to say. Just give me the wine so I can return to the king before he leaves the dining."Nichole walked passed her. "Leave. I will have the wine delivered to his chamber myself."Diana frowned. "Listen, Nichole, he specifically requested I bring the wine to him.""And I said I will get it to him. Now go." Nichole ordered. Diana stood stubbornly.

Calhoun stood at his tower, staring far into the distance. His eyes twitched now and then.He had torn the maid who saw Diana leave into shreds and he did not feel any better. No. Instead, he felt worse. What if the girl knew the direction in which Diana had gone? How could he know now?He exhaled sharply. He heard footsteps approaching. From the sound they made on the marble floor, he could tell it was George."My king!" George bowed. "I have searched everywhere in the kingdom and the lady is nowhere to be found."Calhoun inhaled sharply at George's last five words. Nowhere to be found? How could she be nowhere to be found? Did she have another relative in another kingdom?"Call. Me. Thomas." He said emphatically, separating each word with a labored breath. George did not need to be told twice. He quickly left the king's presence. He felt sorry for Diana if she was ever found.Calhoun sighed softly. He turned away from the view of the sky which he had watched turn darker and darker.

"My King," George muttered. "You have been seated in the same position for hours. Your back must be aching." Calhoun did not respond. He was still reminiscing about his time with Diana. How well she took care of him and all."My king," George called a bit louder. Calhoun turned to glare at him. "She's gone. She left..""Don't you dare complete that statement," Calhoun warned. "Your job is to find her. Find her. Find her. Find her. Find her!!" "How many times do I have to say it before you do?!""But my king, we have searched the entire kingdom!" George reasoned. Why was Calhoun so hell-bent on finding her anyway? Did he not say she was only a slave?"Where is Thomas anyway?" Calhoun inquired."We couldn't find him at home. His neighbors said they also haven't seen him for three to four days now." George said with a light shrug."You cannot be serious. Did you search for him everywhere in the kingdom? Or were you waiting for my call too?""My king, I wanted to know what you would sug

Calhoun was refreshed by the following morning. He had concluded by night, and that was that he was in love with Diana. He couldn't stay without her. What annoyed him the most was that he began to feel all sorts of feelings after she had left!"I think she might have intentionally run away." "Perhaps she got fed up with the constant embarrassment?""You can't say for sure. Listen, she isn't the only one who gets embarrassed by the king.""My king." The beta called. "Listen, my king, we gave to figure out a way to stop the people from being alerted."Calhoun did not say anything."My king?" He called again. "My king, are you listening to us?""My king, I think the lady is not that important." His beta said. Calhoun was not paying attention to every other thing being said but that one sank in.He turned aggressively towards the man. His cruel expression turned even more deadly when he scowled. The other man shivered a little. Did he speak out of line? Did he offend the other man?"Come

Diana sat still in the train. She wasn't feeling alright. Her body was aching. Sitting in the same position for almost twenty-four hours wasn't all that much of a good thing. Seems like no other person was stopping by.Not until they reached the next stop. More than half of the remaining passengers came down at that point. Diana was torn in between alighting with them. She didn't know the place nor did she know how good or bad it would be. The driver allowed them to stay for about thirty minutes while the other passengers alighted carefully. Diana used the time to also stretch her sore limbs. She was hungry again."Hi, do you know where I could get something to eat?"The man looked at her strangely and walked away, murmuring some strange words."They don't speak English here." Someone said from behind her. It was another lady. From the way she was dressed, Diana could tell she belonged to the army. "What might you want to get? I could quickly grab it for you.""Oh, I just want to eat

Diana indeed found out how easy it was to live in Fraco. She spent the first night with Julitta and by the following day, Julitta helped her get a small apartment. The houses there were not totally made of bricks. They were made of very strong wood and the windows had stained glass. Julitta brought some silverware utensils but Diana never touched them.She just couldn't use them. If she was to use them, she would begin to lose her ability to access her werewolf abilities in her human form. She pleaded with her to get plastic or wooden wares."Silver is prettier. It also makes your kitchen look rich and beautiful." Julitta opposed."Nah. I prefer the wooden ones. If you so much want me to use something fancy, then get those silicon wared or the plastic ones! They're so beautiful and expensive too!"Julitta weighed it. She definitely did not have the money for silicon and plastic would be more appreciated. "Are you sure you want wooden wares?" She asked again. "I don't see why anyone w

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

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
