The night became too long, and boring for Thea’s men. They played cards until midnight without thinking about Dianna. No one looked after her since all of them were tipsy. They thought she was still tied with a thick rope. Everyone thought it would be impossible to happen. Knowing a weak woman who ran away into the woods earlier. “Hey, can you get another bottle for me? I… I can’t sleep!” One of them spoke like a kid. “Here,” said the other one. Dianna waited for the perfect timing. She had no choice but to begin and take the risk. Considering the cold wind and the color of the sky, she was certain that it was midnight. She gasped, looked around the entire place. “Huh, I need something to protect me.” She murmured and looked for any weapon she could use. Until she noticed a sleeping man with a gun on his stomach. “Bingo!” She smirked until one of the men approached her. To avoid from being busted, she quickly closed her eyes and acted like sleeping. The drunk man stopped i
Life was such a beautiful gift for everyone. Some might see it as curse, but some seen it as miracle. Since Dianna rushed into the hospital that moment, the doctors knew she would never survive the gunshot. However, Klaud didn’t give up. He told them to give their best just to save Dianna. The operation lasted for two hours. The retained bullet embedded in the posterior superior glenoid caused a fatal injury. Considering the gunshot wound, the doctor performed shoulder arthroscopy to retrieve the bullet. It was a successful operation, but Dianna didn’t wake up after two weeks. Because of her condition, Klaud decided to see the doctor and ask what was going on. He has been looking for her, and he lost some weight too. “What is going on, Dr. Talick? Why she’s still unconscious?” Klaud looked intently into the doctor’s eyes. He wanted a straightforward explanation, but it seemed like no one could do it. Dr. Talick gasped and took a brown envelope from his desk. He wanted to tell
“Exclusive news!”“A twenty-seven-year-old woman shot another woman because of jealousy. The suspect was caught by the authorities, past midnight during the incident.”“According to our source, the suspect hired a fake taxi driver to fetch the victim from her house. The victim was brought into an isolated and abandoned factory.” “Currently, the victim is still unconscious, two weeks after the successful operation. For more updates, kindly stay tuned! Thank you so much!” Dianne changed the channel as she didn’t want to hear anything about the incident. She couldn’t look at Dianna’s face longer. Guilt and fear drawn all over her face. She then gasped and quickly wiped off the tears from her eyes when Kalex stared at her. “Shh, don’t be too noisy. All right?”The little man didn’t know exactly what was going on. Kalex thought his mother was merely sleeping to gain back her strength. He didn’t know that he was about to lose his beloved mother. Following Dianne’s words, he walked si
As soon as the call ended, Klaud rushed back to the hospital without knowing his parents already saw Kalex.He didn’t want them to meet the little man while Dianna was fighting for her life. It wasn’t the perfect timing to introduce themselves, knowing the pain and loneliness. However, his eagerness disappeared when he was stuck in the meddle of a long traffic. Klaud suddenly hit the steering wheel and cursed into the wind. “Damn it! I should have walked instead,” he murmured and looked around the street. Excitement slowly vanished from his face. Anger and disappointments had replaced it abruptly. All of a sudden, he received another call from Dianne. Without any thought, Klaud picked up the phone and asked about Dianna. He said, “How’s Dianna? Can I talk to her?” “She’s fine, but the doctor said it would be best if she takes rest for now. She’s breathing on her own and Dr. Talick told us not to worry anymore.” Dianne said. Through her soft voice, Klaud knew for sure that fi
Dr. Talick visited Dianna’s room as soon as Klaud arrived. He couldn’t believe how possible it was, knowing she lost her heartbeat twice. Inside the room, he saw the patient eating an apple. He then gasped as he saw with his two eyes how healthy she was. He said, “Good day, Ms. Sy! How are you feeling right now? Do you feel anything aside from the gunshot wound?”Dianna shook her head as response. There was nothing wrong with her body even the wound seemed fine. “I’m fine. I just survived a gunshot, it’s normal to look pale.” She chuckled, trying to lighten up the mood. “We have to be extra careful, Ms. Sy. As long as your wound doesn’t heal, please refrain from heavy works like driving, moving a lot, and drinking.”Klaud suddenly said, “How long does it take to take off the cast? I don’t want her to walk in the aisle with it.”Dr. Talick gasped. He thought it was serious question. “Well, if you follow what I’ve said, we can take it off after a week.” He spoke.“Thank you so much
Inside of a well-ventilated room, Dianna looked at a woman who almost took her happiness and life. Her heart stopped beating as she remembered that cruel day. However, she tried her best to calm down. Screaming and blaming Thea would never bring back the things that already happened. When she decided to visit her, Dianna promised not to be cruel like what she did. She thought forgiving Thea would be the best thing to do to move on and start a new journey. Leaving the negative things behind, Dianna believed it would be easy for her to be happy. Once she forgives Thea, her heart and soul would be at peace. “Why are you here? Are you happy that I was caught, huh?”Thea didn’t change at all. Instead of being humble and asked for forgiveness, she remained strong and firm. She knew Dianna was a kind woman. But she didn’t want to apologize no matter what happened. “You didn’t change at all,” said Dianna. Her eyes were filled with sadness, wondering what truly happened to Thea. “I cam
The surrounding was peaceful as it is. The birds were chirping, flying around the trees. The weather was warm and soothing like what everyone wanted. It has been a week since Dianna finally got back home. Dr. Talick took away the cast after regularly checking her wound. Aside from a miracle he had witnessed, he couldn’t believe that Dianna recovered too fast. It was a big question, yet he remained silent and happy for her. From then, Klaud and Dianna didn’t do anything aside from their wedding plans. They visited different restaurants for the food tasting and reception. At the moment, they went to their wedding designer to follow up about the dress. Klaud said, “Good day, Cielo! Can we disturb you?”“Of course! I’ve been waiting for you guys because I’m excited to show you the bride’s wedding dress.” Dianna gasped and smiled at her. She couldn’t help but nervously excited too. She never thought that this day would happen. Cielo genuinely smiled at Dianna. She couldn’t get rid o
After at Cielo’s sophisticated boutique, the couple decided to look for the perfect reception. Klaud wanted the best for their wedding. He asked Dianna about the reception she wanted. “About the reception, what do you want about it?” Dianna smiled. Since she was a kid, she dreamed of a forest themed reception. Where different flowers scattered through out the place with alive butterflies. It was one of the best things she dreamed before. She said, “To be honest, I truly want a forest themed reception with flowers all over the place. Then I want butterflies flying around us.” “All right. Then we will go with that,” said Klaud as he tried to think of a better place as their reception. “By the way, how many people will attend that day?” Dianna asked, thinking it should be maximized to fifty persons only. Klaud said, “Thousands of guests, I guess.” Shocked and confused, Dianna narrowed her eyes. She didn’t want it to be that fancy, but Klaud wanted the other way around. To clear
A romantic music background was playing. All the guests were excited to catch a glimpse of the bride. Since it was a garden-themed wedding, the entire surroundings were filled with colorful and fragrant flowers. There were white-laced fabrics used as decorations as well. For Dianna, it was the best place she could have ever seen in her life. She was standing in front of an arcade, and no one could see her aside from Cielo and the other staff. "And now, here's come our gorgeous bride." By then, Dianna's favorite song played as the curtains were finally split in half. Everyone turned their heads and watched Dianna walking down the aisle. "Wow! She's so perfect, like a goddess!" "Is she Dianna Sy?" "Yes, that's her.""She's beautiful and I can't wait to offer her to be a model." Most of the guests were captivated by the bride's alluring beauty. They wanted her to be a model, an actress, or even a beauty product ambassador. However, it wouldn't happen because Klaud Anderson had e
The sound of an alarm clock echoed around the entire room. Dianna quickly woke up as soon as she heard its ringtone, excited enough to prepare for a very special moment in her life. Before rushing to Kalex's room, Dianna looked at the wall clock and it was real. It was five in the morning. Perfect enough to start moving while the sun rises into the sky. "Good morning, sunshine! I must relax my body today." She mumbled while walking to Kalex's room with a wide smile on her lips. If she wasn't mistaken, it had been a week since she talked to Klaud. To follow the tradition, she somehow contacted his parents to ask questions. By then, as soon as she pushed the door. Kalex smiled at her sweetly and gave her a wedding gift. He said, "Good morning, mommy! Since I don't have enough money yet, I only afford to buy this gift for you. I hope you'll like it." Dianna pouted her lips. Then she walked closer to receive his gift. Her heart was filled with happiness as she watched her son grow i
Blood and screams of dying werewolves echoed around the battlefield. Everyone is desperate to emerge as victors against each other. The ground turned into a bed covered with red, stinky fluid. It seemed like a beautiful, and breathtaking masterpiece of an artist. Klaud, the powerful alpha started to lose his strength. He fought against hundreds of enemies by himself. He almost killed half of their numbers, but he had to finish his mission, alive and well. "You're a worthless leader! How could live in luxury while we are living in vain?" "Kill him!" "Kill him!" All of them wanted to kill the alpha. They were embraced with disdain as if they couldn't accept Klaud as their leader anymore. With all courage and confidence, the enemies attacked the alpha and transformed into their beast forms. They only had one target, but they couldn't defeat him at a single blow. Klaud looked intently into the enemies. He remained focused as he didn't want to be stabbed from behind. "Come!" "If
The real, bloody war has begun. The Alpha initiated to make the first move as he wanted to put an end to this war. If Devon only wanted his power and position, he was willing to give up everything, but it wouldn't guarantee his safety. The only way to end the war was to get rid of the enemy. At that moment, Klaud's move was unexpected, catching Devon and his army off guard. They were not prepared for such a swift attack, and chaos ensued in the spacious hall surrounded by the torches.Despite the initial setback, Devon ordered his men to fight back fiercely. He knew that this battle would determine the fate of their entire species, and he was determined to emerge victorious as the new alpha of the pack. As the fighting raged on, casualties began to mount. The ground was slick with blood and the air was filled with the sound of screams and battle cries.In the midst of all this carnage, the alpha caught a glimpse of his enemy's face after a long time. He had always thought of a powe
Along the way to the woods, Klaud heard a loud tone coming from his phone. He didn't who was calling, but he checked it upon remembering Dianna. Like what he thought, the caller was the love of his life. Without any hint of fear, Klaud answered it. "Hi, Dianna! Why did you call, did you miss me already?" He spoke sweetly as if everything was fine. In the other line, Dianna gasped and cleared her throat. She said, "Where are you? Why am I hearing something noisy? Are you in a bar with Demiel and Aaron again?" Klaud wished it was true. It would be better to hang out with the boys rather than risk his life. He chuckled and tried to lighten up the mood. Talking about something might trigger Dianna, and it wouldn't be a good sign for him. Instead, Klaud lied to her. It was the best thing he could do for her safety. He said, "No, we didn't. I'm in my room, sleeping. But I can't ignore you, that's why I answered the call." At that moment, Dianna felt guilty and sorry for being too i
"No! I don't want to let you sacrifice yourself, Klaud! We need you, especially Dianna and Kalex!" Chris tried to persuade his son. Letting Klaud confront Devon Flamming would only result in casualty, or worse, death. As a father, he didn't want his son to lose everything he cared for. Once his greatest fear took place, it would be impossible to change it at all. However, Klaud was ready to conquer the enemy. No one could stop the enemy from causing so much trouble in their lives. Once he doesn't take immediate action, the enemy might take his son or Dianna. "I'm sorry, father but I am ready to die! If this is the only way to stop Devon, then I will fulfill my responsibilities as an alpha." Klaud replied with bravery. He knew time was running and he must move quickly to avoid any attack. Sooner or later, Devon's men would rampage to their house. "We don't have much time! Hurry up and pack your things, now!" Klaud exclaimed. "Don't worry about Dianna and Kalex. Aaron will take c
The cold wind brushed off to the alpha's bare arms. He was standing straight next to Aaron. Klaud decided to meet him before going back home. He must ensure Dianna and Kalex's safety before he confront his enemy. After a long silence, Aaron started a conversation. He didn't want to waste any second anymore. He said, "What brought you here?" The alpha put his hands into his pocket. He thought about it very carefully and seeing Aaron, he knew he was such a trustworthy person. "I don't know why, but you're the only man whom I can trust everyone I loved. This is not going to be an easy war, that's why I'm making sure there's someone else to replace my place as a friend." Klaud took a deep breath as he shook his head slightly. He trusted Aaron knowing how capable he was of taking his place. But then, Aaron wasn't aware of what was going on. He couldn't understand why it seemed like Klaud was going to somewhere distant. With a hint of confusion on his face, he gasped and tried to kn
Innocent children played happily with their friends and families. It was a beautiful sight for anyone who wanted genuine happiness and peace. Klaud couldn’t take off his eyes from Dianna and Kalex. They were laughing while they tried to figure out about the little bicycle. He made sure everything was all right as he didn’t want anyone to worry about anymore. “Daddy!” “Daddy!” “Come here! Teach us to ride!” Kalex sweet voice echoed around that caught his attention. To hide the truth from them, a warm smile flaunted on his face. No one could tell how scared he was to lose them both. “I’m coming!” Klaud spoke as he quickly stood from the ground. He ran closer to them and held the bicycle firmly. Then he carried Kalex and let him ride with it. “Don’t worry, dad is here.” Klaud spoke as he assured the little man. By then, they were all laughing and enjoyed their first family bonding. Dianna’s smile was priceless as he could never forget about it. Every little thing about her and
