DIANE'S POV

Six days later after the incident in Alpha Denzel's room, I was swimming in the pool at the backyard of the house. Melody was lying on a duvet in the garden close to the swimming pool and she was reading a novel. It was on a Saturday afternoon.

After swimming for over thirty minutes, I got out of the pool and looked at Melody. She was engrossed reading the novel in her hands.

I wanted to go and lie next to her on the duvet but looking at my wet body, I changed my mind cos I don't want the duvet to get wet. I decided to go and sit on the sun lounger till my body dries up.

I headed to the sun lounger as cool breeze caressed my skin and blew through my wet hair.

I sat on the sun lounger which was under an apple tree. I let out a sigh as my eyes swept across the garden.

There were various trees including an orange tree, avocado tree, lemon tree and a guava tree. There were also various types of fruits and vegetables such as cauliflowers, cabbage, lettuce, spinach, broccoli

  • Return Of The Luna: To Live Again   The Last Warning

    DIANE'S POVI was filled with fear as I opened my eyes. Luna Morgana was sitting close to me on the sun lounger. She was wearing heavy makeup and a red A-list dress. Her glossy long red curly hair cascaded over her shoulders. I didn't need a soothsayer to tell me that she came for trouble cos she had a scowl on her face as she glared at me. My mind drifted to Melody and I was panic-stricken. I glanced at where Melody was lying down. She was fast asleep and she was clutching a pink average-sized teddy bear. The novel she was reading was on the duvet beside her. I heaved a sigh of relief as I turned my head to look at Luna Morgana. "Luna Morgana, what are you doing here?" I asked with alarm. "What sort of stupid question is that? This house belongs to Alpha Denzel and I'm his mate, so, that makes the house mine as well," she snapped. "I understand what you said. I know that by reason of being Alpha Denzel's mate, the house is also yours, however, what I mean is that why are you h

    DIANE'S POVI turned my head and stared into space and was overwhelmed with fear. Despite I was filled with fear as Luna Morgana waited in anticipation for an answer to her question, the love I had for Alpha Denzel was very strong and it seems to energize and embolden me.I couldn't imagine myself rejecting Alpha Denzel's proposal for anything in the world. In as much as I never imagined that I will be his Luna someday let alone him propose to me, I vowed that no matter Luna Morgana's threat or how scared I am, I will never reject Alpha Denzel's proposal. Since I realized that he is my fated mate and I love him with all my heart, no amount of threat or fear will discourage me and make me change my mind. I have never been a coward. I will not let the scary situation I currently find myself to deter me. I have to be strong for myself and banish every iota of fear in me. If I can't banish my fear, I must of necessity face it. I must not let Luna Morgana's threat scare me and disco

    DIANE'S POV"I can't believe that a miserable wretched pauper like you would have the nerve to tell me to advise me to accept my fate. Anyway, I was hoping that you will agree to reject Alpha Denzel's proposal but since you have vehemently refused, you have to pay the price for your stubbornness and selfishness..." she paused as I cut in. "May I know why you say I'm selfish?" I asked with curiosity. "You are selfish because you are just concerned about yourself. Your wicked ambition to be Alpha Denzel's Luna and taking my position from me without caring about how you are hurting me makes you very selfish. I have always thought you are kind-hearted but now I know better. If you are as kind-hearted as people say you are, you would have rejected the Alpha's proposal," she said with a sly look. "Hahaha...I guess you are now trying to blackmail me emotionally because you failed to compel me to reject the Alpha's proposal. Well, for your information, it's not going to work, so, I will ad

    DIANE'S POVFor a moment, Luna Morgana and I glared at each other and the fury in her eyes was scary but I was not fazed."Are you serious that you won't accept ten thousand dollars from me?" she asked with an incredulous expression."I just told you that even if you offer me millions of dollars, I will never accept it. No amount of money you offer me could be compared to the love I have for Alpha Denzel, so, to hell with your money!" I spat.She was quiet for a moment as she stared at me."I am willing to increase the offer to twenty thousand dollars but you will promise me that aside from rejecting the Alpha's proposal, you and your sister will leave his house. Twenty thousand dollars a huge amount of money for a pauper like you that have never seen two thousand dollars. I believe the money is more than enough for you to start a new life with your sister. I will suggest you move to another city in Australia far from here or better still you can relocate to another country of your ch

    DIANE'S POVAs Luna Morgana was walking towards me with the knife in her hand, I was overwhelmed with fear."Luna Morgana, are you serious about killing me in broad daylight?" I asked with fear in my voice.She didn't response as she walked up to me. She stood in front of me and glared at me as I trembled with trepidation."Yes, I will kill you in broad daylight cos I want to see your blood gushing out of your body. If I kill you at night, I will not have the pleasure of seeing you clearly as you bleed to death," she replied with an evil smile. I glanced at Melody, she was still fast asleep. I was so afraid to die most especially because of Melody. If Luna Morgana kills me, I have no doubt that Alpha Denzel will take care of her but my main concern was that the Luna Alpha Denzel will eventually choose after my death could make life a living hell for Melody just as Luna Morgana is doing and she could even be worse than Luna Morgana. For the umpteenth time, the thought of leaving Mel

I quickly turned around and saw Melody running towards me with tears streaming down her face. I averted my gaze and saw Luna Morgana picking up the knife from the floor. At that moment, Melody ran up to me and wrapped her arms around me. "Diane, what is happening?" Melody asked with alarm. I gazed at her for a moment as she gazed back at me. I could see fear in her eyes. Instantly, I forgot my fear as well as the danger I was in and was concerned about her. I looked at Luna Morgana. She was walking towards us with the knife glittering in her hand but I was no longer afraid. I guess it was because of Melody. It was as if I suddenly developed a maternal instinct to protect her which emboldened me. I used my right hand to wipe my tears as I became filled with anger. I would never have run for Luna Morgana after I kicked th

She must be delusional.

In other words, it is dead and gone! Alpha Denzel doesn't love you anymore rather and he has told you that a couple of ti

Go to the house right now, pack your bags and leave the house! I give you an hour to get out! I will not hesitate to call the security men to take you back to prison where you belong if you don't leave my sight right now!" I shouted."Please, don't call the security men. I don't want to go back to that dreadful place. The six months I was incarcerated was like hell. I don't want to experience it again," she said with fear in her eyes. I couldn't believe she was afraid to the extent she was begging me. "If you don't want to experience it again, then, go and pack your bags and leave," I said. "I would have left but I am not feeling well. I was sick throughout my stay in the prison and a doctor was often coming to treat me. You can see that I have lost some weight because I barely had appetite, so, I wasn't e

I asked angrily."How many times will I tell you that I don't threaten people?""You just said that you will not rest until I die. Is that not indirectly a threat?" I asked. "You can call it whatever you want. The most important thing is that I have told you my mind," she said bluntly. For a moment, I was silent as I glared at her. "Morgana, I guess you are ready to go to prison again. In recent times, you have threatened me with death countless times even before you were incarcerated. To be honest with you, I thought the incarceration will change you cos I believed that you will regret everything you have done to me and Melody over the years and turn over a new leaf but it's obvious that I am wrong. Indeed a leopard never changes its spot. I strongly doubt if you will ever change," I sai

"Diane, so, you have the guts to slap me?" she yelled as she rose to her feet and dusted her body."Morgana, I forbid you to ever address me by my name! I will spare you today but I won't the next time you address me by my name. I am giving you grace because you have just been released from prison, however, if you dare call me by my name again, I will punish you anyhow I deem fit. I never addressed you by your name throughout your reign as the Luna and I accorded you respect, so, now that I have taken over your position, you must also address me as a Luna and accord me respect. It's either you address me as Luna Diane or simply Luna. Do you understand?" She stared at me without uttering a word. "If I may ask, is it that you have forgotten that you are no longer a Luna or you have completely lost your senses when you were in prison?" I asked glari

I will not hesitate to throw you back in prison if you utter any derogatory word to me. I can imagine how difficult it is for you to accept the fact that I have taken your position but you have no choice but to accept it," I said with anger. "If I may ask, do you think it is fair for a woman to take another woman's mate?" she asked. "Well, to be honest with you, it is not fair..." I paused as she cut in. "I was expecting you to say it is fair but thank goodness you said it is not fair. That being said, another question I have for you is since you admitted that it is not fair for a woman to take another woman's mate, why did you do it to me. You hurt me so

    DIANE'S POVI woke up and realized I was on the bed alone. My eyes swept across the room expecting to see Alpha Denzel but he was not in the room. Where could he be?" I muttered.Just that moment, I heard the sound of the shower running and knew he was in the bathroom.I stared into space and a smile spread across my face as I recalled the lovemaking we had. I had mixed feelings concerning loosing my virginity. I felt kind of sad that I was no longer a virgin cos I cherished my virginity. At the same time, I was elated that I gave my virginity to a man I love with all my heart. A faint smile was on my face as I reflected on the sex. It is noteworthy to mention that I have always been scared whenever I thought of how my first time of having sex will be judging by the tales of the girls in my high school days who talked about their first sexual experience. Their tales had somewhat made me look forward to my first sexual experience and ironically I also dreaded it. However, contrary t

    Alpha Denzel and I got to the house, went up the stairs and entered the room. He shut the door behind him as I stood gazing at him with a heart filled with gratitude for the Moon Goddess who gave him to me. From when I turned sixteen and fell in love with him, I had fantasized having a man like him as my mate even though I thought it was impossible considering my lowly status. I actually thought I was building castles in the air. I just couldn't believe my dream has come to pass and I will be eternally grateful to the Moon Goddess. Alpha Denzel called me and I jolted from my thoughts. "My Luna, what are you thinking about?" Alpha Denzel asked as he walked up to me, stood behind me and wrapped his arms around me. "I still find it difficult to believe that you are my mate. To be honest with you, since I turned sixteen and fell in love with you, I fantasized that I was your Luna but I thought it was impossible..." I paused as he cut in.

I tightened my arms around him as his kisses intensified.He kissed me fervently and I returned his kisses with equal passion. I felt his erection against my body which sent sensations between my legs. Instantly, I felt my panties getting wet. Suddenly, he withdrew his head and I was gasping for breath. For a moment, we were silent as we gazed at each other. He stared at me with lust-filled eyes and I could see that he was struggling to control himself."My Luna, I am trying so hard to control myself. I feel like taking off your clothes right here and making love to you on the floor. You drive me crazy. I wish you can see inside me so that you will understand how I feel. Babe, I want you right now," he said in a voic

I saw Steven and David walking briskly towards me with worried expression. "Luna Diane, we heard a loud wail and that is why we are going to the prison to see who it is," Steven said. "You don't need to go there. I know who it is," I said bluntly. "Really? May we know who it is?" David asked. "It is Morgana." "Really? Are you sure?" Steven asked gazing steadily at me. "Of course, I am," I replied. The two Betas stole glances at each other and looked at me smiling. I was a bit surprised cos I couldn't comprehend why they were smiling. "May I know why the two of you are smiling?" I asked with curiosity. "We are smiling because we guess you told her something that is making her wail," Steven said with a chuckle.
