(Eleven months later)Time flies too quickly for everyone. It has been a year since Klaud came back from an important mission. For the whole eleven months, he slept with Kalex every single night. Just like the usual, he brought flowers and gifts for everyone. It became a habit and didn’t realize how fast time passed by. Klaud has been waiting for this day to come. It was Dianna’s birthday and he decided to throw a surprise party for her. He knew this time around; Dianna would accept his proposal. He must try until everything he prayed for happened. On the contrary, Kalex and Demiel was playing with his wolf toys. While Dianna and Dianne tried their best to finish the cake and other recipes. Dianna sighed deeply as she turned on the oven. She said, “We’re almost done. Aren’t you tired?” “I’m fine. My legs are doing great these past few months. Thanks to you, my dear sister.” Dianne smiled sweetly. Lucky as she is, Dianne’s recovered from her illness. She could walk without a
After lunch, the gentlemen decided to have a drink while the ladies had a conversation with a few drinks as well. Klaud, Aaron, and Demiel had another table from the ladies. They were having fun, unlike Ashley, Thea, and Dianna. At their table, Thea decided to show her true colors. She couldn’t hold it back anymore as she waited for a year already. To get even with Dianna, she intentionally pushed the glass of wine and let it spill on the table. She smirked and quickly apologized. “Oh, I’m sorry! I didn’t mean it.” Thea acted like a kind woman. But deep inside she wanted to laugh. Dianna quickly wiped off her dress and gasped. She couldn’t believe that Thea would act this way. “What are you doing? Aren’t you ashamed of yourself?” Dianna asked out of anger. “You’re crazy,” Ashley added which triggered Thea. She suddenly reached the glass of water and threw it into Ashley’s face. It was a shocking moment, yet no one noticed it. Dianna quickly took the table napkin and gave it
Dianna couldn’t believe what happened. She was still on cloud nine after Klaud proposed earlier. It felt like she was dreaming after the proposal. She never thought about it knowing how she played hard since Klaud came back. She felt the romantic excitement that most women experienced during proposals. It was hard to describe, but one thing to be sure, she was genuinely happy. At the end of the day, it would still be a happy ending with Klaud and Kalex. “Congratulations, Dianna! I’m happy for you and Klaud.” Ashley held her hands tightly. They were both soon-to-be brides. “Thank you. I didn’t expect it anyway!”With a warm smile on her face, Dianna couldn’t hide the happiness she felt. She had been thinking to talk to Klaud about it after her birthday celebration. But she thought, maybe it was bound to happen. It was one of the best moments of her life. At that moment, Demiel suddenly played a romantic music. He quickly asked Thea to dance until Aaron and Klaud did the same.
The next morning, Dianna woke up with flowers. She thought it Klaud sent it for her after reading the card with it.“Good morning, my soon-to-be wife! Let’s meet today at this address. See you there!” Dianna couldn’t stop myself. She then quickly ran back to her room and tried to pick the perfect dress. She was still on cloud nine, and yet Klaud prepared another date right away. “Oh, what should I pair this white blouse?” She looked for a white trouser and fortunately she found one. Excitement drawn all over her face. After five long, years she could finally be happy with the man he only wants to live with.Despite everything that happened, Dianna chose to forgive and make new memories. She set aside the past as it would never bring happiness and peace of mind. For Kalex, she decided to give Klaud another chance. Another chance to prove his intentions. By then, Dianna took a bath. She was singing as the warm water flowed into her naked body. “Hmm, he’s full of surprises.” She
“I’m sorry to say this, but your wedding would never happen because you will die in my hands today.”Thea smiled mischievously, looking at Dianna’s firm expression. She couldn’t believe how strong she is despite the situation. “And please, stop being too strong and confident because Klaud will never save you.”Dianna looked intently into her eyes without any sign of terror. She made sure to be strong, while thinking how to escape from Thea’s madness. She said, “Say whatever you want to say! You’re just jealous because you can’t have Klaud even you’ll kill me right here and right now!”“Shut up!” “Shut the fuck up or I will rip off that goddamn mouth of yours!” Thea suddenly approached Dianna and grabbed her wrist out of anger. She gritted her teeth and stared sharply at her.“Don’t say things that you don’t have any control! Once I get rid of you, I will be Klaud’s crying shoulder until he falls in love with me.” By then, Thea dragged her inside the massive gate. She couldn’t st
Dianna wasn’t sure of her actions. Her knees were trembling knowing that she was pointing a gun on Thea’s head. She had never thought it would happen in real life. It was just like in the movies and luckily, she learned self-defense before. Despite the fear within her chest, she remained calm and full of hopes. Hoping that someone might save her from the brink of death. “Let go of her if you don’t want to die in vain!” One of Thea’s men spoke with confidence. He was holding a gun, waiting for the perfect moment to attack. But Dianna wasn’t a fool to believe in him. She knew once she drops the gun, it would be the end of her life. To avoid from a tragic death, she thrusted the gun to Thea’s temple without any hint of mercy. She said, “Don’t try to fool me! If you want to save your cruel boss, then drop your guns now!”Her voice echoed around the woods. Even the birds felt the fear and quickly flew away from their nests. “Drop your gun, now!” Finally, Thea felt the fear. She co
Inside of a broad abandoned factory, Thea built a comfortable room where she could rest peacefully away from her men. She wasted thousands of money to make her plans a success. In a middle of her sleep, she woke up from a loud noise coming from the outside. She annoyingly stood and went straight to where Dianna was.“Damn it! They’re so noisy and annoying.” Thea mumbled as she covered herself with a coat.The weather has dropped drastically which caused the cold ambiance all over the place. From a distance, Thea saw one of her men sitting in front of Dianna while holding a plate. She didn’t tell anyone to give food to her. By then, she quickly went closer and spoke from behind.“Who tried to feed Dianna, huh?” Everyone suddenly stopped from drinking and laughing. They magically turned into a statue that couldn’t move and talk. However, their silence didn’t stop Thea from being angry.“Show yourself before I’ll kill each of you tonight!”At that moment, Dianna stared at the man w
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
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
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
