Joshua stood there longer, his thoughts getting drained with how miserable his life have become after the disappearance of his wife Diana and the worse of all is finally finding her only living under the roof of a human whom she birthed two children for.
He gritted his teeth in anger and looked away running his hands through his forehead, he could still recall how he had killed her son, it hurted him that he had to inflict such pain to an innocent child who knows nothing but he just couldn't control his anger, he shook his head in aggression peering at nothing in particular as he slowly turned his back away from the mansion and sat on a tree branch that had fallen few days back.
Joshua took a deep breath, all he could ever think about was Diana, she has been the one on his mind ever since he set his eyes on her, his mother had advised him to forget about her and get married to Carmella but Terry was in love with this very woman and he wasn't, he bit on his lower lips a
Carmella was sitting gently in front of her mirror combing her hair, all night she have been drained in thoughts on how to get rid of Diana permanently and have Joshua all to herself, she knew very well that so far as Diana was still breathing, Joshua would never think of marrying her or anyone else in the clan, she blinked her eyes severally "damn Diana, she should have just died the first time" she muttered sadly standing on her feet.Her door slowly creaked open, she turned around and gasped at the sight of her mother "I thought you left already?" She looked suprised."I almost did but Joshua is here to see you" she informed.Carmella's eyes grew wide "really? Did he tell you why he wanted to see me?" She asked feeling very nervous.Zara shook her head "you possibly do not expect me to ask him that, do you?"Carmella was lost in her own thoughts for a while, she finally swallowed hard blinking her eyes severally "it's fine mother, whatever
She could feel the wind brushing across her face while she ran, her whole body engaged in the thoughts of wanting to get away from everyone around her, the feeling of being deserted and unwanted consuming her badly.Her tears gradually sprinkling off her face as the wind encouraged her speed, she wasn't willing to stop, she just wanted to keep going until she couldn't see the shadows of her fear lurking behind her, the fear of Diana returning, the fear of watching Joshua love, kiss and build a family with her."He is all I have ever wanted, he is all I want" she cried out with her heart feeling like it have being pierced by a thousand spears, she fell on the rocky ground, covered with enough sand too to shield her skin burying her self amongst them all is wept like a child.She was at a Lea, alone just like she wanted, away from everyone including Terry who had tried to console her though he didn't understand what he was consoling her for, all he knew that
The woman smiled at her, her eyes looked blue and bright "should I? You are the one trespassing, you should be the one staring away from me young lady" she said walking closer.Carmella knew she was in trouble, now she understood why wolves were forbidden from coming to that part of the woods, she wondered how many more strange beings resided there, she took a quick glance around, the woman followed the look in her eyes and scoffed."It's just me, stop acting like a weirdo" the woman said walking past her.Carmella moved further away getting ready to defend herself if the woman dares to attack her but before she could say another word, the woman grabbed her by the neck and pushed her straight to a tree pinning her tight on it while she sniffed around her with a cruel smirk at the end of her lips "I sense hate, revenge and love... I love that..." she smiled at Carmella letting go off her.Carmella coughed loudly as she almost choked life out of her "
Terry was getting very nervous as he followed Carmella's sent, searching for her in the woods, it was getting dark and he got more uncomfortable as time swept by.He had been walking for hours, calling out to Carmella who seemed to have varnished into thin air which he found really strange, his legs were aching from a long walk, he finally stopped when he got to the boundary to the forbidden part of the woods, he took a glance behind and swallowed hard, he could swear that Carmella must have gone that way cause her sent was strongly leading him that way, he shook that thought off his head "that's totally impossible, she would never go against the rules of the clan" he thought aloud feeling even more confused.But he was very much concerned about her, she left in a bad state and he was afraid that she might end up hurting herself but he still couldn't help but wonder what happened inside the house that must have broken Carmella that way "he must have done something to h
Joshua arrived home with Terry, they both looked completely exhausted, Terry's legs were aching even more, he wondered if they were both wounded.He sluggishly moved over to a wooden stool and sat quietly without saying a word to Joshua who had the ends of his eyes steady on him, he was still skeptical about Terry's response that he was okay, he would still sense a weakness in his behavior towards him and wondered what was going on but asking him such question at that point felt very wrong since they were both tired and hungry.Joshua staggered a bit and finally sat on a rocking chair stretching both of his legs, he took a deep breath and shut his eyes, the clouds were even getting darker and a fire needed to be lighted, he opened his eyes and rubbed his hands across his face while calling out to the servants at home, two of them arrived at home greeting with so much warmth in between their voice "you called my lord" they bowed with so much humility.
At this point Terry wished he could stand up and scream at him, he wondered if he was the one to ask such question after what he saw today, he felt even more terrible now and wished he could attack Joshua with both his words and his fist and make him feel the pain he was feeling deep within at that point, Joshua noticed the grave frown on his face with his eyes suddenly looking bloodshot "you're angry..." he cried out looking even more shocked.Terry looked away biting on his lower lip "I have fine my lord" he answered in a cold tone swallowing a thousand anger down his throat, he could feel his heart burning and the fear of it consuming him was eating even more deeper into his soul.Joshua nodded, he looked away and felt bad for pressing harder when he knew that a hungry man is an angry man, he watched as the servants lit fire on the woods, the fire burnt slowly, he cleared his throat "where is my mother? Tell her that I am home and we are hungry" he informed.
He was bent on finding out where his mother had gone to and know why she looked that way, he followed her and noticed she was entering into her room, he was sure it would be a long talk, he went straight to the kitchen and ordered the servants to serve Terry his dinner which they did immediately, he walked back to his mother's room knocking before entering through, Emma refused to look up at his face, she only folded her hands staring at nothing in particular."Have I done anything wrong to you mother?" He asked looking concerned.Emma was silent and this alone was drying him up even the more, everyone has been giving him attitude lately starting from Terry down to she "mother if it's about me not coming home for lunch, I apologize for that, I had more important things to take care of" he said."Important things like Diana isn't it?" She arched her brow glaring at his face.Joshua looked away moving from where he stood "she still remains my wife mot
Terry was done having his dinner, he looked pretty restless as all he could think about was Carmella, he couldn't stand the thoughts that kept creeping in, he jumped up to his feet as they weren't hurting him that much anymore, he had one of the servants help him massage it after he was done with his meal, he was about heading out when he heard a voice, it was the queen, she had stepped out with a stainless tray containing her son's food when she noticed Terry about leaving."You look like you're heading to somewhere important?" She asked wearing a warm look.Terry was startled as he wasn't expecting her presence "not exactly my queen, I just want to... erm... just take a walk" he answered bowing humbly."Hmmm...a walk in the dark isn't such a good idea or don't you think so?" She arched her brow expecting a response that should leave her unsuspicious.He smiled "the stars are up there to guide me with their light" he took a glance at the sky "I appreciat
Carmella left the room angrily, she walked into her room and met Leonna cleaning it, she went straight to her and grabbed her by the hair "you little bitch, you really want to reap where you did not sow huh?"Leonna groaned in pain totally unaware of what Carmella was talking about "what have I done?" She cried out."You want to become queen huh? You want me to bow at your feet?" She yelled pushing her to the wall.Leonna hit her head on the wall turning around slowly with her forehead bleeding slightly, their were equally blood stains on the wall, she could feel heavy headache on her head too, Carmella cared less about that her bleeding forehead "it would be over my dead body that I would allow you marry Terry, listen to me, you won't and would never marry him, he belongs to me and me alone, I have always been the one he loved, not some low life like you" she said wagging her finger at her.She shook her head sadly, she just couldn't believe that all the yelling was just because of T
The day was gradually coming to an end, Terry retired to his room, he had actually started occupying Joshua's chambers, he had sent for Leonna who arrived few minutes later standing by the door."Come in and shut the door..." He said on seeing her.Leonna was scared, she just didn't want to come anywhere close to him, never have she imagined that Terry was evil but today she witnessed him treat a wolf who have loved him like a brother like an enemy and that was something she wouldn't forget in a hurry, she shut the door and stood by it with her hands properly folded."Please sit,I want us to talk" he said."I don't want to, whatever you want to say, please say it now, I was busy before you sent for me" she said looking away.Terry sighed walking closer to her, he knew that she was angry with him, he cleared his throat "we have always liked each other alot and because of the rules guarding the palace, we couldn't show our feelings properly nor have a good relationship, when I said that
"What... What did you just say Azora?" Zara asked standing to her feet.Azora laughed "you haven't told them yet? How you were so jealous of your kid sister cause she married the man of your dreams and you decided to end her life just to have him all to yourself yet it took you so many years to get married to him, did you also tell them how you asked me for powers to get rid of her when she found out that she was still alive, how you went to poison her but ended up poisoning yourself, how you went the second time but disgraced yourself and showed your real face cause you always take the form of her human husband's personal assistant's face? She never eloped with a human just like she always claims, Diana is a survival of attempted murder by her own sister! and did you also tell them that you have pushed her off the cliff the second time? poor girl.. I doubt if she would survive this time around.""I survived...." Diana said walking into the throne room, her hands were dripping of blo
By the time he got to the palace, what he saw was what he didn't expect, someone else was sitting on her mother's throne and Terry sitting on his, could this be a dream or what?" He thought "what are you doing Terry? Why are you sitting on my throne?" He asked turning to see his mother, the queen, Zara,Maria and Leonna sitting on the floor."I don't get this Azora, this is not our agreement, why the hell would you ask a servant to sit on my husband's throne?" She yelled in anger."He has equal rights as your so called husband does and therefore deserves this throne better" Azora said with a proud smirk on her face.Joshua was shocked "and what is that supposed to mean? Would you get off that throne this minute!" He yelled at Joshua trying to grab him."If you dare touch me, trust me brother you wouldn't like what I would do to you, I have every right to be on this throne and if you're still so confused, maybe you should ask your beloved mother here" Terry said pointing at pointing at
Zara left her house at once without saying another word to Joshua, Leonna followed her at once,the king looked totally speechless, he turned to Diana "stay here, I would be right back."Diana shook her head in disapproval "I can't, I must go with you.""But it might be dangerous" he explained."I don't care, I am going with you" she said sadly grabbing his hand.The king sighed, it was truly obvious that he had no other choice but to allow her follow him just like she wants, few minutes after they left the palace, Joshua was feeling really pressed, so he asked Diana to wait for him under a tree while he goes to ease himself, while he was doing so Carmella crept from behind, she was actually on her way to her mother's house when she saw the king walking side by side with Diana holding her hands, he didn't notice her presence as he was backing her, Carmella grabbed a log of wood which was lying on the floor and hit it behind his head, Joshua fell on the floor and passed out at once, she
She arrived the palace and fear gripped everyone at once but before the guards in the palace could attack her, she bewitched them and made them bow at her feet while she grinned with so much delight feeling so fulfilled. Leonna was just done massaging Carmella's leg and had walked out of her room in tears when she noticed something awkward going on in front of the palace, she noticed a strange woman on a black rope chanting some words and making everyone bow at her feet, fear took grip of her and she fled at once to the back of the house running as fast as she could to inform the king of what was going on since she had seen him leave earlier and was so sure he had gone to see Diana and her mother.Carmella noticed a weird kind of silence and walked out of her room looking at each corner of the palace in fright, she could tell that something was wrong, she walked into the throne room and saw Azora standing there,she gasped and at the same time smiled walking majestically to stand in fr
At once he left his room to meet his mother and Carmella in the throne room, he tried greeting her to release him but she bluntly refused, for the first time he witnessed his mother swear over and over again to deal with Terry, she stood up pointing fiercely at her son “he brought that woman into this palace, she is not and will not be accepted here, I might spare her life and pardon her for what she did to the royal family, after all we have her elder sister here with us now to take her place but I would never accept her into this palace.”The king chortled “then get ready to loose your son and the king of this land” he said walking out on them.Queen Emma gasped in confusion.Carmella stood up and ran straight to her room shutting the door behind, she looked so upset, she turned the mirror and started summoning Azora and in no time she could see her image in the mirror , with so much bitterness behind her voice she told her all that was happening at that moment and Azora told her wh
Few hours later, they arrived the village and the palace in particular, the wedding ceremony have been conducted as people could be seen dancing and eating, Zara whose face was covered with sadness was about leaving the palace when she sighted Diana in the company of Terry, she gasped in shock “Diana!” She called out in a loud tone.That instant every where was silent, the music stopped, everyone turned around staring at Diana who looked totally confused, a palace guard ran into the palace building, the king, queen and Carmela were in the throne room when he came to inform them of the latest development, Carmella was the first to run out of the throne room to confirm what the guard had said, on stepping out she saw Diana standing beside Terry, it was obvious that he was the one that brought her back home “I knew it that he would do whatsoever it takes to ensure that my happiness is completely snatched away from me” she muttered feeling so upset, the queen and the king were soon outsid
Melanie had slept off in the hospital after having a good time with her daughter the previous day, she actually spent the night on the couch pondering over what Joshua had told her that evening especially about the wedding, she felt irritated and upset and wondered how many more evil people existed in the world if her own sister could go as far as wanting to marry her husband, her eyes gently went open when she heard footsteps approaching the ward, she felt really weak and her body ached a lot, she looked up and there stood the female doctor who have been taking care of her daughter, she smiled at her “good morning…” she greeted almost in a faint tone. The doctor smiled at her in response as they both stepped outside few minutes later to have a conversation after she was done checking on Brenda who was still very much asleep.Melanie cleared her voice “so when can we go home doctor?” She asked politely.“You’re free to go today, she’s okay, the least you can do is bring her twice ever
