Perhaps she expected that something would have happened when she turned that way. She hoped that she would have been able to kill him off. Rather than that happening, she could feel as if she was glued to the spot, glaring murderously at him. Eugene acted incognizant of her reaction and simply waved her bye, and he returned to his home. Diana stood there, feeling the cold wind pierce through her skin for a few more minutes.She was finally able to free herself and leave. She took a cab back to the base. From the moment she entered, she went straight to Jasyn's office.They had indeed done the promotion ceremony and she was made a commander just like Jasyn proposed. Julitta was her assistant since she was deserving. They gave her her group who she could command."Jasyn." She called. "We need to talk."Jasyn stared at her, wondering what had come over her. She seemed to be in a state of pure rage. He could see the rage in her eyes. He almost loved the feeling and but he didn't want her
Diana turned rapidly when she heard the voice that read the end of the letter in her hand. "Julitta, don't play like that!" She scolded. "What are you doing here by the way? I thought you wanted to bring a bag for me.""Yeah, I forgot my keys here and I came in to see you engrossed in the letter in your hand. I just had to take a peek." Julitta explained. She bent over and grabbed her keys, dangling them before Diana to prove that she was saying the truth."Who is Calhoun by the way?" She asked. "Is he Coco's father? If he is, did this mean that he is still in love with you?""Still in love with me? You say it as if he has always been in love with me." Diana murmured. "Calhoun is a man of twisted words. Even his thinking is twisted. Everything about him is twisted."Julitta nodded. "Well, we can talk about all of that when we leave here successfully. How about you go and grab Coco while I get the bag?"Diana nodded. "Alright, I'll do just that."This time, Julitta ensured that she le
Diana retained the smirk on her face. From the moment she saw Eugene there, she knew that her leaving would be almost impossible. In reality, she didn't mind. If she wanted to go, she could. And there was nothing either he or Jasyn could do about it.Well, that was for if she wanted to go. She didn't want to go. It was Julitta who wanted her to go. But now that she was refuted by Eugene, she had this sinking feeling that there would be more trouble for her if she stayed here.This was probably the last war she would fight in the Fraco army. After this, the outcome would determine if she would stay in Wisteria or if she would find a more distant country to reside in.Regardless of what it was going to be, she just knew that she couldn't remain in Fraco after this fight. Yes, she would miss Julitta, Tisha, Nana, the nurses, and even Yolanda. But, they weren't enough to keep her there.Maggie's place was only a day's journey from Wisteria so missing her wasn't a reason to stay back in Fr
It was the day of the banquet. Phoebe had prepared Calhoun's clothes the previous night, Mary was the one who would dress him.Calhoun was shameless and didn't care that he was standing naked before his servant. Mary put her face to the floor until he had entered his bath fully."My king, what else do you need?" She asked. She wanted to leave his chamber, staying with him for twelve hours a day for three days had caused a detrimental issue for her. Calhoun's reasoning was beyond comprehension."Hm." Calhoun hummed. He ignored her question and submerged his entire body. He was enjoying his bath and wanted to take his time to wash. He expected Diana to at least show up. Even if she wasn't going to show her face or wait till the end of the banquet, at least she would show up.Mary took it as a yes and left the chamber. Calhoun wasn't bothered by her going, he even wanted privacy. But for the sake of making her squirm, he wasn't going to ask her to leave.Thinking about his warm and fuzzy
Diana was roughly thrown to the ground a few feet away from the castle. She rolled a few times and then paused with one knee bent over the ground and one knee on the ground. Calhoun was somehow impressed, he smirked.However, his smirk disappeared when his gaze landed on the face of the owner. Diana's gaze landed on him as well. It was as if time had stopped for the both of them.She was wowed by his strength, the way he had grabbed her so easily. And when she stared at his face, although it was dark, she could see that he had become more handsome than she could remember.Calhoun however was struck by her facial features. Maybe because she was always busy, working, he had never taken his time to admire how beautiful she looked.Now, he had time to stare at her face, into her eyes, her body. He quickly turned his gaze back to her face."Diana..." He called softly. "It's you." He couldn't help himself, he was still in denial. He took slow steady steps as if he was going to touch her jus
Word had reached Jasyn. If they could arrive within forty-eight hours, they had a greater chance of victory. Jasyn wasted no time in preparing the remaining soldiers, they got their weapons and they all began the journey to the East.Eugene smiled as they left. He would come later on. For now, let his pawns begin the battle. If he showed up on the battlefield so early, Calhoun would immediately understand what was going on.He wanted to surprise the man and that was why he remained in Fraco, allowing his soldiers to go ahead of him.The fact that this news came from Diana himself made him feel satisfied. At least she wasn't against them. She wasn't fighting beside her people, rather she was in support of them.He never knew that she had only given the information to save her head and that of Coco. She still had plans, and even if she didn't, she could rely on Calhoun to take them down.From what she had seen, she could tell that Calhoun had become stronger than usual. If he had indeed
"Hm," Calhoun said, stopping before the open window. "I could have sworn I closed the window. If someone wishes to play a prank on me, they shouldn't do something so silly, I'm not a child.""My king?" Mary called softly. She was confused as to who he was talking to. Who was he talking to? He stood before an open window and was speaking. "Who are you talking to?"n,zCalhoun turned to glance at her. "Was it you who opened the window this morning?"Mary shook her head. "No my king, I just got in here now."Calhoun nodded. "I am wondering who has snuck in here to open the window.""I don't think it was locked last night," Mary stated."I did lock it myself." Calhoun refuted. "Maybe you thought you had locked it, my king," Mary said. She walked over to the window and touched the locks. "Oh look, the locks are broken. Perhaps you thought you locked them but they were broken.""At least I knew I closed them. How come it's wide open again?" Calhoun asked. There was no logic behind it.Mary
The fog began to clear a little and Diana peered in closer.The Wisteria soldiers knew that Calhoun had something up his sleeve, they waited for his instructions but they had also watched him being shot. They didn't have guns, they used swords and relied on their heightened abilities to dodge the bullets. Calhoun appeared right beside them. "Ready?""Let's march out!"The soldiers ran out with a loud shout. The soldiers that stood before the gates were slaughtered as the warriors passed by them. Julitta gagged at the gore sight before her."What the hell?!""Shut up, they will hear you," Diana whispered. "Watch what a werewolf battle feels like."Jasyn had watched them get killed. He knew that that was Calhoun whom they had shot. He wondered if the man had died so easily. He had heard so much about Calhoun he didn't want to believe that the man had died so easily. Yolanda came up behind him. "That sly man."Jasyn glanced at her. "What are you doing here? You are supposed to take you
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. She c
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
