Calhoun was curious about what had his servants so worked up that they were willing to leave their duties and go somewhere. He decided to follow them and see where they were headed. As he made his way through the castle's corridors, he couldn't help but wonder what awaited him at the end of the journey. The possibilities were endless. It could be something thrilling or something that would upset him. Calhoun was prepared for anything. He continued to follow his servants, eager to find out what was going on. As he made his way towards the room, his anxiety grew with every step. The servants had been tight-lipped about what he was about to witness, leaving him to imagine the worst. He tried to calm himself down, but the unknown was too much to bear.Finally, he arrived at the door of the room. He hesitated for a moment before turning the handle and pushing it open. As he stepped inside, he was greeted by a sight that took his breath away. The room was unlike anything he had ever seen
Calhoun expected her to follow him but he also was not surprised that she did not. It did not annoy him, funnily. It rather made him feel amused. As he walked towards his chamber, he stopped at the room where he had kept the rogue wolf. He suddenly remembered his reason for seeking her out."I guess I'm the one to go out and search for her again." He muttered. He walked away and stopped by his throne room. He sat on his throne and stared at nothing. Felix and Evander were supposed to have shown up in the castle again. But they had not shown up, and it was making him have thoughts.Not long after he thought about them, they showed up in the throne room. They were apologetic towards their delay."My king." Felix bowed. Evander followed suit."How long did it take you to give an announcement to the people?" Calhoun demanded."My king, something came up and that was why we delayed," Evander answered."Hm." Calhoun hummed. Things seemed to get more interesting after the war. Every day was
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
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
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
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
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
"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
