Chapter 1Rage blazed in her eyes like a furious river as she stared at them. Her anger knew no bounds as she inhaled the air, tainted with the horrid stench of betrayal. Their eyes held no remorse for their treachery; they gazed at her with mocking glares that felt as though they could peel the skin from her body with scorching lava.Her wolf growled fiercely, her pure white eyes gleaming brighter in the darkness. She dared them to come closer, knowing they wouldn't, for they understood the consequences. Diana, though soft and gentle, wouldn't hesitate to tear anyone apart, especially when they threatened her mate."Don't," he whispered softly into her ears the moment she felt her first bone break. She was about to shift, but he halted her, holding her firmly and embracing her from behind to soothe her frayed nerves and anger.Armed with wooden stakes, they stood ready to eliminate the one chosen by the Moon Goddess to be her soulmate. Hundreds of them, trapped in their fears, hesita
Chapter 2.“ You are here again,” She said with a smile immediately he walked elegantly into the forest clearing. He strides in happily with a smile that brings out his temples that accentuate his handsome face. To her, he is the most perfect man in the world at least the only one she knows but even if there are others, she did not think they could ever compare to him.She knew everything including him was a dream but she didn't even have an idea of who she was and everything around her until the strange handsome with red eyes intruded on her space and since then he has kept her company in the Dreamland even though she didn't know who he is. Every time he told her his name, the wind carried it and it faded out of her brain until she couldn't remember anything but his face and his signature red eyes.“ Little one” He whispered immediately calloused hands found themselves on her cheek. They were cold and she wondered why. Everything about him was always cold even though he made her ins
Chapter 3.The gnawing feeling of hatred in her throat intensified as the one they introduced as Alpha Leonard moved closer to her. He was her brother or so he explained to her but she couldn't help the feeling. Her mouth watered as she thought of elongating her canine but they never came. Something big was missing in her body and she shuddered as she thought about what it was.The heart monitor beeped faster as she started panicking. Her eyes grew wider as her heartbeat sped up, her body and mind were on opposite sides. Her instincts were directing her to do things but her body won't comply. Something was missing, she suddenly felt empty as the pack doctors tried to hold her down and stabilize her.Alpha Leonard was asked to leave but he protested trying to command them with his Alpha tone but he had to when he saw the crazy look on Diana's face. He shuddered at the amount of hatred that fumed in her eyes. Even as she fought her consciousness, she stared at him with a killer intent.
Chapter 4.She tried to reach out to the voice in her mind again but the faded away as if it was never there before. She wanted to grab her head to make the silly headache go away but she couldn't because of the wires and all.She wished she could remember a thing or someone would just tell her something but instead her headache worsened. She was tired of everything around her, she didn't trust Leonard and the pack doctors were not telling her a thing. Brittany was the nicest among all of them. Sometimes she brings books and reads them to her but she says nothing to her. Her company was always nice like a form of escape from the mysterious world she woke up in.Brittany explained to her that they were werewolves, including Diana and they all used to live in a very big pack house before the vampire incidents. Her brother Leonard was the alpha and Howard the Beta was betrothed to Diana because the Alpha wouldn't allow her to be mated to a weakling or a coward. The girl was talkative bu
Chapter 5.The grand chamber within the vampire king's castle was bathed in an eerie, crimson glow as candles flickered in their ornate holders. The air was thick with a sense of unease, a palpable tension that clung to the walls like a dark shroud. The king himself sat upon his obsidian throne, his regal form a stark contrast to the haunting atmosphere. In the shadowy corners of the chamber, his loyal friend Maurice watched with bated breath.“ Your Highness” He breathed out, careful with choosing his next words in front of the brooding king.“ We have searched around the plains, it was as if the pack disappeared from the face of the Earth. We couldn't locate them Your Highness” Maurice explained to the king who was paying no attention to what he was saying.“ I shouldn't have left her alone. I did it again” He whispered with a heartbroken tone. He looked pale and ragged because he hadn't fed very well in a very long time, ever since he lost Diana in the forest three years ago. The
Chapter 6.Diana couldn't help but stare into space as she awaited the arrival of either her brother or Howard. She was to be discharged from the hospital today and none of them were yet to show up. The man in her dreams didn't show up last night and that bothered and placed her on high alert. She couldn't even reply to Brittany's cheerful greetings and the latter didn't seem to mind. Diana was always in one mood or the other so she understood.She was dressed in a plain white gown and Brittany had braided her hair into a fishbone braid. She wore a pair of low black pumps as she started moving around more on her own. Every part of her has healed physically except for her unreachable memories.Suddenly the door opened to reveal her brother, the Alpha, dressed in a crisp black suit. His hair was brushed to the side of his blind eye to mask both his scar and his eye patch. Diana just noticed that they share many resemblances. They had the same brown hazel eyes but Diana's were flecked w
Chapter 7.“ My beta, Howard will take my sister Diana as his wife and mate at the next crescent ball”The words of the Alpha dropped like a bomb inside Diana's mind. Why would her brother suddenly decide that she needs to marry Howard? Howard was a nice person and he was very sweet to her but she needed to collect her thoughts and focus on gaining her lost memories before thinking of taking that big step. Anger washed over as a new feeling of resentment overtook her emotions.“ How dare he make decisions for me?” She thought as she gathered her palm into a strong fist. She shook with so much anger she could rival an erupting volcano. She gasped as she realized, where did that powerful rage come from? She was confused. She thought she was just a weak, tiny girl who needed protection from her brother and her supposed mate but there she was feeling powerful all of a sudden. She breathed out to calm herself down. Her mind went to the strange woman the Alpha just killed and she pondered
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
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
