Chapter 8.“ I have been waiting for you little one,” He said the moment Diana appeared at the clearing again. He moved closer to her and held her in his arms. He appeared to be sniffing her but suddenly remembered he wouldn't get anything from her since it was a dream.“ Wait are you a real person? Or you are just a figment of your imagination?” She asked slowly removing his arms from her body. He looked shocked and more hurt by her actions. He knew of her memory loss, that was why she kept using his dream-walking abilities on her but seeing her rejecting his touch felt like a torch against his bare skin.He put his emotions and damned mate bond aside as he masked his expression. He took another step towards again as he cornered her against the tree. He bends a little bit as he whispered“ Let me be your imagination for now”She shook her head angrily, tired of everyone keeping one or two things away from her. She hated both the dream world and the real world. No one tells her anyth
Chapter 9"They have been feeding her lies," Darryl said absentmindedly to Maurice, who stared at him with growing worry. The relentless weight of concern had settled on Maurice's shoulders like an oppressive cloak. His best friend, his king, was slipping away from him, consumed by bitterness and anger. Over the past three years, he had watched Darryl transform from the compassionate, respected leader Diana had shaped him into, back into the hard-hearted ruler he once was.Darryl's mate had been his beacon of light, the one who softened his rough edges, but now her race had torn that away from him. The transformation pained Maurice deeply; he hated seeing the king everyone once feared rather than the respected one Diana had made him.Maurice's mouth twisted with remembered resentment. He couldn't forget how those people had exploited Darryl's vulnerability, his soft side. He yearned for the Darryl who had shown patience in taming Decanal, the most feral of all the wolves."When the he
Chapter 10.Diana's eyes flew open when the sun hit her face. She wasn't asleep because she was thinking about her wolf and trying to bring back her memories at the same time. Howard had left her on the bed over an hour ago to take care of pack duties. She felt oddly uncomfortable in his arms but like always she said nothing.She stood up lazily from the bed, making her way to the bathroom to brush her teeth and take a bath. After washing her hair, she threw it into a bun allowing it to self dry. She made her way into the kitchen where she almost choked on her spit because Howard was cooking without a shirt on. She swallowed as she watched his perfectly sculpted back move following his arms muscles.Sensing her presence with his wolf instincts, he turned around almost giving her a brutal heart attack. She averted her gaze and stared at the floor but another part of her just wanted to look up and stare at his chiseled abs and six packs, and the v below his tummy which disappeared into
Chapter 11.Taking the advice of the strange voice, she left the passageway and made her way back to where Brittany left her but she couldn't recognize the spot again as she wandered around the second building. The words of that voice weighed heavily on her mind. She wondered why she could hear it and if the voice was trapped inside that locked storage room.Nothing ever makes sense since she woke up from that coma without her memories, she has two voices that invade her mind now and then but she is surrounded by people who will never tell her the truth and hide a lot of things from her. Even her supposed mate who was not supposed to hide anything from her hides many things from her. She made up her mind to come back and find a way to open that door even if she had to break it down. As she wandered around, she stopped in front of a large door at the sound of her brother's voice. Behind the large door was the Alpha's office. He sounded really angry as he yelled at Howard.“ Leonard I
Chapter 12.“ Where the hell have you been?” Alpha Leonard barked out the moment he saw Diana giggling at whatever Brittany said. She knew she was supposed to be scared under his heated glare but a rebellious part of her wanted to give him a snarky comeback instead.“ She was with me Alpha, I was just showing her...” Brittany jumped to her rescue before she could open her mouth but the Alpha cut her off.“ I'm asking my sister not you and I believe she has a mouth” He snapped and Brittany gulped in fear while Diana remained unfazed.“ I was bored and alone and I decided to ask Brittany to show me around the pack house” She replied with a shrug of her shoulders while moving closer to Howard who gave her a tight hug. She fit right into his arms and the anger on Leonard's face faded seeing his sister snuggling up with his Beta as it should be.“ You are not to go anywhere without telling me or your mate understood?” The Alpha said and she nodded yes, so close to saying “ Bite me” but sh
Chapter 13.“ You were in my memory ” She pointed out immediately he stepped into her dream plane once again. He raised his eyebrows at the unwelcoming attitude. She looked tired and stressed out and he didn't like the look on her face one bit but he was glad she remembered something about him.“ And?” He asked with a husky voice that sent shivers down her spine. She suddenly wanted him to hold her so she could forget everything while soaking up in his warm embrace.“ Who are you? And why did my wolf purr when you touched her?” She asked going straight to the point. He chuckled as he moved closer to her, he stroked her cheek and watched her blush grow. For a confusing reason, she doesn't want him to remove that hand.“ And if I tell you will you remember my name?” He whispered, his breath fanning her cheeks, she closed her eyes while imagining the warmth of the Sparks traveling throughout her body from his touches. What he said almost flew out of her brain but she managed to retain i
Chapter 14.“ Thank you little one, I will see you tomorrow” For the first time, Diana watched him fade out of her dreams and that puzzled her. He looked so weak and that bothered her a lot. She woke with a pulsating headache and a thousand years' worth of exhaustion. She was exhausted both mentally and physically, she couldn't even open her eyes properly without the side of her head pounding. Dried tears decorated her face, she must have been crying physically even though it was in her dream. That explains why every physical touch from him felt so real every time.Howard was still fast asleep, his hands wrapped tightly around her. He looked so peaceful asleep if it wasn't for the web of lies and confusion that exists between them. Diana could have maybe loved him or fallen in love with him but she decided to get to know him at least. Maybe he could open up to her and tell her the truth if they become friends.She opened her tired eyes fully and tried to remove his hands that were ti
Chapter 15.“ D.. we will be late if you start” She muttered with a smile trying to push him with hands that seemed to be dragging him closer to her. His name on her mouth remains censored like someone turned it out. The vampire king muttered huskily under his breath, incorrigible words as his hands fumbled with the zipper of her dress.“ Mine” he growled removing the hands she placed on his chest to push him away. He had her cornered as her breath grew ragged and her heartbeat became faster. She couldn't hear him because he didn't have one. Her wolf purred loudly as his hands wandered everywhere on her body especially when his right hand brushed his mark which stood proudly on her neck. She mewled out in pleasure as he replaced his hands with his tongue instead.“ God! Just arrhh I didn't peg the vampire king to be this... Hmmm” She said but he covered her mouth with his cutting off her words as he devoured her whole. He reduced the rest of the sentences to Strings of moans alone.“
Epilogue.A month later“ You look less grumpy today Your Highness, finally happy your mate is with you?” Kingston teased the vampire king who was grinning from ear to ear inside the council room. He and Diana got married a week after her freedom. The day was the happiest day of his life, he couldn't hold back his tears as she walked down the aisle. Even Maurice teased him for a while because he was too emotional on his wedding day. The wedding took place at his main palace with the Alpha king and Luna queen present. Cassie, Dyrr's human counterpart had been there also to see Decanal briefly. Cassie hardly talked and Diana was a little bit socially awkward herself so they didn't even say hi to each other.He and his Queen went back to his mansion and they started living their happily ever after. It has been nothing but a blissful journey so far, he even missed her so much even though he had only left the mansion for just half an hour to attend the council meeting.It was now time for
Chapter 45.“ Watch out” Diana's head whipped towards the direction of the voice, She felt herself getting whipped around as the hands of her mate caught the spear in no time. Before she could react to his actions, he threw it straight to where it came from and continued kissing his mate.Unlike him, Howard couldn't dodge the spear nor could he catch the weapon with his hands before it landed on his chest straight to his heart. He hated him so much but he hated himself for being weaker than him. He stared at them with hurt and regret swimming through his eyes as he spat out blood. He tried not to howl out in pain as the silver burned through his chest, He even caught Darryl's smirk towards him before he took his last breath. The royal wolves took his body out of the hall.“ So I can't kill my brother but you can kill him?” Diana asked furrowing her eyebrows, he only smiled at her the type that he knew always melted her inside any time he flashed her one of those.“ Your brother commi
Chapter 44.“ No” Leonard growled out angrily unable to believe his ears. Decanal and Diana communicate with each other? Since all this while and he had no idea? How the hell was that possible? He looked at her half-shift form which reminded him of that night three years ago. When she looked at him with the most vengeful glare ever.“ You will choose him over me? Your brother?” His hold facade was breaking as he looked at his sister with a hurtful expression. If Diana didn't know better, she would have fallen for it but she knew him way too much to know how manipulative he can be.“ Of course, with all your crimes against us, you think I'll choose you?” Diana tsked her tongue as she circled him with a predator smile, her claws itching for a single swing of beheading.“ His kind killed our parents! They separated you from us making you grow up with that abusive man! Diana wake up!” He growled trying to attack Darryl but Diana had him under her hold by wrapping her hands around his nec
Chapter 43.After hours of going on and on in never-ending ecstasy and pleasure, Decanal finally returned the control to Diana who was already exhausted. She blushed slightly as she curled into her mate's open arms. He wrapped his cold arms around her and pulled her closer to him. He placed a kiss on her forehead muttering “ I love you” to her and she nodded with a smile on her face before mouthing it back at him. Her throat was already raw from all the screams and moans.“ I think I should start going” She croaked out to him still feeling the ache between her legs. Her heat was not over but all the many rounds of sex should calm down her body for a while.“ No, little one. Stay with me” He said sniffing her hair and breathing in her scent like a starved animal. “ I will take you back before dawn. Just stay” He muttered, his tone vulnerable as his kingly pride and brave front slipped away revealing a man who had missed his mate so much.His blue eyes stared into her hazel eyes showin
Chapter 42.The first thing Decanal did was stand up and unlock the door. She dragged Diana's wrecked body out of the room after masking her scent so every unmated wolf within their range wouldn't go crazy. She was the only wolf who could do such and she prided herself in her abilities.“ Diana?” Howard said immediately he heard the door open. He stood up and took a look at her but Decanal wasn't up for him. “ You smell different” He purred sniffing the air before he could touch her, Decanal attacked him. She knocked him out flat with just a swing of her fist. She let out her claws and cut her pinky finger. The one she broke earlier to scare Diana, a dark liquid poured out instead of blood, her poison. She placed little on Howard's mouth, not enough to kill him but enough to keep him out the whole night and also give him temporary amnesia.She sat down, ignoring the way her body screamed out in pain at every movement she made. If there was one reason why she begged Diana to take cont
Chapter 41.“ Where the fuck have you been?” Howard asked immediately as he sighted Diana from afar. Diana felt her instinct go wild at the sight of him, her gums hurt as her canine threatened to come out. She took a deep breath before talking to her wolf.“ Decanal No!”“ Why? I can just kill him now and move forward to your brother later” The wolf whined inside her head. She was slowly regretting that she returned Decanal to her body. Although she felt like she was complete again she still felt weird sharing her consciousness with another being.“ You promised” Diana hissed.“ Alright, I won't do anything but I can't promise not to do anything if he manages to make you angry”She walked towards the house while having an internal banter with her other half. It's hard to maintain your cool when all your wolf thinks about is homicide. Howard stared at her waiting for an answer but she said nothing.“ I asked you a question” He barked grabbing her wrist tightly and dragging her closer
Chapter 40“ Strange?” Diana furrowed her eyebrows in confusion.“ Sorry, don't mind me. You didn't visit me ever since you woke up even when you moved into the pack house,” He said staring at her from head to toe. He sniffed the air a little but he couldn't get anything strange from her. Maybe Brittany was lying to him. There was no way Diana could have known about him hiding the portrait of her wolf in that storage room. Even if she regained her lost memories, she couldn't have known the exact location of Decanal.“ Only because your Beta had locked me inside his house like a prisoner. Did you know? That he locked your little sister in a house like some bird in a cage?” She asked with a defensive tone. He sighed and punched in the passcode for his door. She entered after him, he took a seat on his chair while she sat on the chair opposite him.“ He is your mate. He knows the best for you” He simply said without sparing her a glance.“ Even when he doesn't treat me well? He marked me
Chapter 39.“My bad, you cuss a lot these days don't you think?” Decanal's light airy tone said jokingly. Diana could only huff in response. If she doesn't need Decanal to put an end to her brother's sorry ass, she would have just given up on looking for the disrespectful wolf.“ There is a trap waiting for you, Now turn to your left,” Decanal said in a weird high-pitched voice that sounded like Brittany's. Each time, Diana thought her wolf was weird Decanal kept on surprising her by surpassing Diana's expectations. How had they coped with being in one body before?Wait Trap?“ Your little goody shoe friend is a shapeshifter” Decanal informed her as she turned left. It was when she continued walking that realized that she was heading towards her brother's office.“ Little goody shoes? Shapeshifter? Can you be straightforward for once?” Diana grunted while faking a smile to greet a wolf pup that said hi to her.“ Calm down little one” Darryl's soothing voice returned and she let out a
Chapter 38..“ Touch her with your filthy hands and you will lose them faster than you can say 'it' ” Darryl's cold voice slithered through the entire hall and a small smile made its way up to Diana's face at the sound of her mate's voice. Her body trembled violently in want but she calmed herself down, that wasn't the time to lust him. There was a big issue on the ground that she needed to solve.Leonard's face morphed into pure anger as he searched for the direction of the voice. He kicked his Beta who was still clutching his chest in pain out of his way to look for wherever the vampire king was hiding. Diana threw the banquet away and folded her arms watching her brother's rage multiplied by ten folds.“ Show your face, you wretched creature” Leonard growled, his eyes turning pitch black instead of the normal golden color peculiar to when his wolf fights for dominance. Black veins grew in vines around his neck and his skin became deathly pale. Diana gasped in shock at his appeara
