The classic sound of the clock awakened Dianna in the middle of a beautiful, vivid dream. She was with a man at a vibrant forest surrounded by flowers and butterflies wearing a white, long dress. The man was laying down to the ground and his head was on her lap. They were laughing, as their voices echoed around the forest. Like a solemn song, it sounded good in the ear. Then she remembered reaching for an apricot and gave it to the faceless man. “I love you,” said Dianna in her dreams. “We’ve been challenged by the time and the people around us, but here we are, living happily ever after.” Then the man gently held her hands and sat in front of her. They kissed passionately and laughed so genuinely. However, she woke up because of the wall clock’s sound. She disappointingly gasped and looked around the entire room. The good thing about being in a private room was having two beds. She saw Kalex sleeping peacefully next to his uncle, Demiel. They looked so perfect together, but s
Dianna couldn’t believe what she heard earlier from Kalex. It wasn’t a coincidence, knowing there were only few people who has the same name as the alpha. Inside the car, she kept on asking him how he knew that name. “Where did you get that name, young man?” She asked, trying to be calm and sober.The little kid shook his head. He said, “I heard you last night saying that name,”Demiel looked at her through the rearview mirror, telling her it was true. They woke up earlier than expected. “He’s saying the truth, Dianna. You kept on saying his name while you’re sleeping.” Demiel said which convinced her that it was her fault. Instead of getting angry, Dianna took a deep breath. She cupped Kalex’s face and whispered into his ears.She said, “I’m sorry, but would you forget that name?”“Why? Does it make you feel better?” Kalex asked with innocence in his eyes. “Yes, can you do that for mommy?”Kalex nodded and wiped off the cream from the tip of his lips. “I understand, mother. I
Upon seeing how Dianna reacted earlier, Demiel decided to contact Klaud about his parents’ gift for her. He didn’t know if it was real, but he wanted to confirm if it was real. For his best friend, Demiel wanted only the best. He witnessed how Dianna struggled and strived harder for her son, Kalex. He would never forget that one moment when he found Dianna lying on the floor with blood between his legs. He thought she would lose Kalex, but because of him, Kalex was saved when he was just six months in her womb. Demiel shook his head in disbelief as to how Dianna remained strong after all these years of hardships. He knew it has never been easy for Klaud as well, but he only cared Dianna. This time around, he was eager to talk to Klaud and warn him about whatever he was planning. He contacted Klaud through the phone number he got recently. He was certain that he would pick up the call once he mumbled Dianna’s name. “Pick up the goddamn phone!” He mumbled, waiting inside the car.
One month later, Klaud still brought flowers for Dianna but ended up rejected. He would go back home, carrying the flowers with him. However, he didn’t stop. Today was the eighth day buying flowers for her. This time, he bought a watch for Kalex, hoping he would meet his son, officially. At the flower shop, the old woman smiled sweetly as she gave the flowers to Klaud. She seemed happy seeing a fine man holding it.She said, “Your wife must be happy.” Klaud chuckled. He said, “I’m still courting her, but we have a son already.” “Oh, I guess you did something wrong. But I’ll tell you to continue and never give up. Sooner or later, she will realize that you are sincere and sorry for the things you’ve done before.” “I will. Thank you for these,” said Klaud before he left. Somehow, his heart filled with hopes that today he would achieve something. He only wished two things; to win Dianna’s heart and be with his son forever. Aside from flowers and gift for Kalex, Klaud decided to bu
The weather was fine and warm. The sky was clear and blue as it was. There were no clouds above which made it more breathtaking and perfect. Aside from the nature, the streets were surrounded by people trying to run an errand for their daily lives. Unlike Klaud, he was living for Dianna and Kalex. He didn’t have to work eight to twelve hours every day to get at least thousands of dollars each month. He was wealthy and could even buy everything he wanted. Still, it didn’t make him happy. “Huh,” he sighed, waiting patiently because of the heavy traffic. “I guess it would never happen today.” Klaud was referring to his daydream earlier. It felt real, giving him enough hope to bring back his loved ones. He checked his phone, thinking someone might texted. However, no one did. “I have to concentrate on how I could convince Dianna.” He mumbled until he finally started the engine and escaped from the heavy traffic.He spent more than an hour until he reached the route free from traffi
Dianna woke up at exactly two in the afternoon. After lunch, she felt sleepy and decided to take a rest. One month had passed already, but she had to follow the doctor’s instructions to remain strong and healthy. Somehow, her body gained back the strengths she needed to work again. Not at the La Sagrada Company, but at her shop. After everything that happened, she decided to resign next month. She sighed heavily, as she felt a cold sensation in her sole. She then wore her slippers and walked toward the mirror. Dianna combed her hair gently. Until she heard noises coming from the outside.Out of her curiosity, she walked silently into the door and pulled it. Then she followed where the voices coming from until she realized Klaud and Kalex were hugging each other.“Uncle Klaud!” Dianna heard and witnessed how Kalex mumbled that name. She was certain that they met each other on that day at the beach. Her heart stopped beating. She never thought it would turn it this way where she wi
Five years since the incident where the shop’s lost so much, Dianna realized about the mastermind behind it. It was Karah Anderson who hired those hideous men and stole valuable things from the shop. She spent thousands of monies to renovate and bring back to its usual shape. With the support of her loyal customers and workers, Dianna had finally become successful. In five years, she opened forty new branches all over the country with over two hundred new employees. For the meantime, Haina was handling the whole business knowing how hands on and competitive she was. Dianna trusted her employees all throughout the years, considering how they stayed during those rough, darkest times. On the contrary, Dianna heard footsteps toward the living room. She was waiting for Kalex and Klaud to go out since it was getting dark already. “Hmm, they’ve been playing for fours now!” She mumbled and flipped the next page of the book she was reading. “Are you going home already?” Kalex asked. At
Two hours had passed since Klaud went back home. He was sleeping peacefully when his phone rang continuously. While half conscious, he picked up the phone from the side table and answered it without looking at the caller’s name. He said, “Who’s this?” Klaud heard loud music from the other line. He then narrowed his eyes, wondering who would call him in the middle of the night. “Well, it’s me Demiel. Wait, don’t tell me you’re sleeping? Seriously?” Demiel chuckled. “Not unless you played with Kalex four hours straight!” Demiel took a deep breath. It was the perfect time to have a reunion with Aaron. After all, they were connected and part of Dianna’s life. He said, “I know that feeling. I’m glad I could rest now.” “What do you want? I was sleeping peacefully,” said Klaud. “Let’s have some fun! Aaron will join us. Deal or no deal?” For a second, Klaud thought either to say yes or no. Since he came back, the only things he did was to work, sleep, eat, and visit Dianna’s house.
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
