Charles was in his car in no minute, he huffed and puffed in anger and desperately hit his hand on the steering of his car over and over again like it had done something terrible to him, he gnashed his teeth and shut his eyes for a minute.
“I really need to think, think Charles, think…” he thought aloud hitting his hand on his head over and over again, then we went quiet for a while, he couldn’t hear any noise from outside since his car door was tightly shut.
He took a deep sigh “I would not let Rose have her way neither would I let her win, I would do everything and whatever it takes to stop her, I want to see her try and trust me whatever she does I would boldly use it against her and cripple her for life, she can’t do much, after all… what does she have? It’s high time I stop being too scared of that empty barrel” he mumbled to himself.
Charles started the engine of the car and headed home.

Carmella paced her room, she dragged the veil on her head over and over again biting softly in her nails, she just couldn’t believe what happened back there with Diana, she actually expected her to react in a provoked way, threaten them or maybe try to raise an alarm but she didn’t do any of those things, she was rather unusually quiet and was talking even in a more responsible way, she didn’t know exactly what to make out of what she just witnessed but she could swear that none of it felt good at all, this was a prove that Diana could decide to return home with them and when that happens she was so sure that she would entirely loose her chance with Joshua but the most scary aspect of it all would be if she is able to remember how she left the clan then she would be definitely doomed cause Joshua especially would make sure she pays dearly for it, she moved over to her mirror and stood in front of it shaking her head over and over again like a widow who had lost her
Zara was already in the living room, she looked exhausted already from the long walk.Carmella grinned mischievously when she saw her mother walk into the room, she stood at the passage running her warm hands nervously across her veil hoping that her mother suspects nothing from her attitude, Zara didn’t say a word to her, she was starving already and needed to eat something.“You’re back mother…” Carmella said admist her nervousness walking closer.Zara nodded opening the pots, she discovered they were all empty and sigh smirking secretly, well this only proved one thing, that she was right when she perceived that Carmella had followed them, she felt proud of herself that her sense of smell was still strongly active and like always it has never failed her “you were home all evening, how come you didn’t make anything for dinner?”Carmella was totally silent, she really did not rehearse that line incas
Carmella rolled her eyes in anger, she knew she shouldn’t have said that, she had no right to ask her mother if she knew how much she loved Joshua, after all her mother loved her father right till the very moment he died and because of her undying love for him, she refused to remarry and rather preferred to single handily raise her daughters and mourn her late husband for the rest of her life, that was love worth more than any other thing, a love that came with sacrifice.”“I loved your father dearly even to his death, I decided to be his widow and mourn him forever even when I had the chance to remarry and have a happy life, I chose you and Diana over that happiness and here you are asking me if I knew what love is, Carmella what you claim you feel for Joshua isn’t love and can never be love, you’re rather obsessed with him young woman, if you love him you would love yourself first, you would be thinking about his happiness too other than yours,
Maria had noticed the queen’s mood, for hours she have refused to eat or drink anything waiting impatiently for her son to return while she stood outside, this got her very worried as the welfare of the queen was her ultimate responsibility, she quietly walked up to the queen hoping she would listen to her this time around, she had walked up to her twice, consoling and advising her to return to her chambers that the king would be back but she seemed to to believe, standing outside wasn’t going to solve anything but would rather make her leg ache later in the night.“My queen, you should retire to your chambers, I assure you that the king would be back soon and nothing bad has happened to him” Maria said politely.Emma shook her head in disagreement “you don’t know this humans Maria, you don’t understand exactly what they are capable of doing, what if they have caught my son, locked him up and maybe turned him into a lab rat in
Emma couldn’t get her mind off the thought of the girl that just walked into the compound with her son and Terry, she looked baffled and couldn’t wait another second to get all the answers she wanted from her son, the fear of the fact that Joshua have decided to take the strange girl as a wife was gradually creeping into her bones, she was deeply shaking with nervousness though she tried to hide it all with the faint look on her face, Joshua was right behind her walking her over to her room else she would have turned back that minute, went straight to the girl’s room and asked her who the hell she was, she couldn’t recall anyone with such face in the clan, she hoped and prayed within that let it all just be a mere thought and that Joshua is never planning to marry the strange girl instead of Carmella just like she have always wanted. They walked into her room and Joshua shut the door behind, Emma turned staring at her son waiting for him to speak, Joshua was
“First, you tell me that you are going to visit Diana, the same Diana that ran away years back and went to be with a human, the same one who had kids with the human and almost tried to kill you when you attacked her kids out of anger, the same Diana Joshua and then you come back with this girl who I really don’t know where you found her and you are yet to tell me who she is, have you brought her to be your wife or what?” She cried out unveiling her fear.Joshua burst into laughter, he couldn’t contain how amused he was at his mother’s words at the moment, he couldn’t believe that this was exactly what was going on in his mother’s mind, he wondered why his mother would ever think of something like that “mother, what are you even saying?”“It’s a question Joshua, I see nothing funny about any of these” she cried out boiling angrily within.Joshua pulled himself together, he took a deep sigh &l
Joshua smiled “actually mother, it is the opposite.”Emma looked up at him confused “what do you mean by it’s the opposite?”“You know mother, all these while that I have been meeting Diana, she always acts crazy towards me, like she doesn’t even want to talk to me or anything but today was different, she sounded more peaceful, infact her wolf sense still works so well that she perceived us and found us in the woods, we had a decent conversation, from the look of things, my Diana is coming back very soon, I repeat… very soon” he grinned.Emma was shocked, she sprang up on her feet at once “I can’t believe this, then why did she run away? Why have she been acting like she doesn’t recognize anyone?”“Mother, finally today I confirmed that Diana was bewitched by the humans, she truly does not remember any of us but she feels a connection to us, I know she does else why would
Joshua got into the room and slammed the door loudly, he was fuming with rage, he couldn’t understand why his mother was like that, it was more like she derived joy in provoking him and seeing him unhappy, he was already at the verge of getting the woman of his dreams back and here she is insisting that he must marry her elder sister, that sounded totally ridiculous to him and at this point he wished so hard that his father was alive, he was sure that he would understand him and be considerate enough unlike his mother who most times acts like she has got no feelings or was never in love, he most times wondered if she truly loved her father else she would understand exactly what it feels like to be in love, he gritted his teeth moved over to the wall and began punching it over and over again until his hands were peeling and bleeding.He gasped placing his bleeding hands over his face while tears ran quickly out of it, he heard a knock at the door.“Who is it
