Chapter 133Diana's pov.“What?” I asked in surprise as I couldn't comprehend what she had just said as I had only woken up.She drew closer to me, her eyes seemed to hold a certain fear and panic, “They know about us and I think they are on our way to my pack,” she whispered, in fear that someone might be listening.I heard correctly, but how was that possible? How did they find out about us? I threw my question out at her but she only shrugged, she was visibly worried.“What makes you so sure that they are on their way to the crescent moon pack?” I tried to doubt her claims as my worry for my mother and my brother increased.“Do you know if any rebels camp elsewhere?” She asked as I launched out of my bed and we made our way out of my room, we were running towards the palace gates.We arrived at the gates just to see the last troops being deployed out of the palace, my breath hitched in my throat as it may just be as Sarah had said.They might be making their way to our pack. My mo
Chapter 134.Diana's pov.The warriors had gotten into position, apparently, they had set up an alarm system which everyone understood as they immediately hid in the forest.Scrambling of other pack members as to The Shelter, a place they could stay from harm's way.My brother moved around and got everyone in position. As the beta, he had the job of coordinating everyone and I couldn't be a bother to him, but I wanted to know where our mother was.I was worried, what if she was still at the house? What if she hadn't heard the alarm? I had optioned to go and check on her but my brother argued against it saying she was fine and she would have heard the alarm. He needed me to stay in the pack house and be safe.He gave me a stern look and I couldn't help but listen to him. I knew I couldn't do anything to help, so the best I could do was stay out of harm's way. I didn't want anyone being distracted just to save me.Sarah had gone to help in preparations as well, I couldn't help but feel
Chapter 135Diana's pov.“No one showed up,” he repeated again as we all silently stared at him in confusion.“What do you mean no one showed up?” One of the men in the room couldn't take the silence much longer and began to interrogate him in anger.John began to narrate, “We kept waiting but no one showed up.” I tilted my head lightly as I was beyond confused, maybe they hadn't gotten here yet due to their large number. Maybe they took some kind of break, they should have been here already.I didn't believe that they wouldn't be here, we still needed to keep our guard up.“Where are the others?” Helen finally questioned.I could tell she had been keeping her emotions at bay for a while, on seeing John. I guess she couldn't take the suspense either.John glanced around in confusion before his eyes met mine, “Most of them offered to wait behind just in case the soldiers were just delayed, the others were on their way back. I was sent to pass the news along that it just might have bee
Chapter 136.Alaric's pov.Waking up in a room on a soft bed, I felt my skull being banged by a hammer as I sat up slowly on the bed, the constant ringing only reducing after a little while.I glanced around and wondered where I was before the thoughts of what had happened crashed down on me. I was so furious, how could they have attacked us?They had no idea who they were dealing with, and even forced our car to crash. There was no doubt that they had ill intentions towards the crown.There was no sign of Charles or the other guards.Someone knocked on the door before they pushed it in, “Good morning your Highness,” she greeted before she placed a meal on the nightstand beside the bed.She had a look of pity on her face as well as a sorry expression.“I would like to speak to your Alpha, where is he?” I commanded furiously, for the first time using the voice my father often used to suppress his subject.She knelt to her feet, barked and bowed in submission. Her lips quivered slightly
Chapter 137.Diana's pov.Raine and Ava had kissed, right in front of me.I tried to keep a straight face as I glanced away from them.This shouldn't be right, were they mates? Has my brother found his mate? Was it Ava?I pursed my lips and glanced away from them as they made sure each other were okay. I cleared my throat unconsciously, drawing their attention towards me.Ava with an irritated expression as she raised a questioning eyebrow, asking why I was still here.“This is…” I cleared my throat once again and pretended to cough as my brother must have lost his senses from a kiss, he was about to introduce who I was, he wasn't meant to know me.He seems to catch on thankfully, “I'm sure you remember who she is.”The irritation in Ava's voice was not hidden, “How can I forget?” She said before her eyes roamed my body.This was so awkward, she had tried to attack me and was currently mates with my brother at the same time, I wondered how she would react if she found out.I pursed m
Chapter 138. The General Guzman Alaric's pov.Sasha had shown me to the room I had walked out of earlier, “I'll have the kitchen prepare something better for you to eat.” I nodded my head unconsciously as I was more focused on the letter that the alpha had received, it must have contained something important, what if it contained a message from the rebels.I didn't realize that Sasha was still present, “Did you say something, your Highness?” She questioned curiously.“No no, carry on.” Why the hell was she still present? They could have tasked her to keep a watch on me which would make much sense.A frown surfaced on my face, Sasha kept glancing at me from the corner of her eyes, once our eyes locked she dropped her gaze.“Is there something on your mind Miss Wesley?” A pink taint covered her high cheekbones as a small smile graced her red lips, which was quite a contrast from her persona, “It's nothing your highness, it's just…” She paused, a bit shy I'll say, “I've never been in
Chapter 139.Diana's pov.We had finally returned back to the pack and Milo, who I found out was his name, had apparently been worried as well. He was by the gate ever since and hadn't gone for his shift.He was the only reason why we were able to get into the palace at the time that we did, Sarah informed him about the false alarm and he stood there in confusion, just the same way we had.We had all thought we were going to be attacked, a slight mishap in our judgment of the situation.Sarah and I left him behind while he closed the gates quietly and we waved at each other as we split up, making my way to my room and falling on the bed immediately. I was exhausted from all the running.My heart was also exhausted from the worry and fear that it had gone through the entire day and it wasn't long before I fell asleep.The next morning, I returned to my chores. After having reported to Miss Beatrice. The last time she had been the one to drag me back to my room, I wondered why she hadn'
Chapter 140.Alaric's pov.The Office of the general seemed luxurious and in good shape. I gritted my teeth at the amount of money that had been spent in transforming this place in such light.My lips arched in disgust as I glanced around, before General Guzman came up beside me with a nervous smile on his face. “ My apologies once again for not welcoming you properly, your highness, and for the incident that occurred, it was not our intention for that to happen,” he said hesitantly as he wrung his fingers together.I sat down in front of his table while he went around and took a seat himself, Charles stood behind me.My stare seems to make the general all the more nervous, “Your highness, what brings you to the thirteenth district? It's been a while since you have been here, I thought you had decided not to come and had gone back to the palace.”I scoffed, what brought me to the thirteenth district? I asked myself sarcastically in my mind, bawling my fist in rage.He had holed hims
Chapter 293: A Royal End Diana’s pov The pack apparently had been silent as they waited for our return. We were bloodied, bruised, and exhausted as we arrived at the pack, carrying the injured as well as the losses we had amounted to, which was quite a number from both packs. We had won the battle but we had also lost a lot of lives in the process, was that really a win? I spotted Alaric, who might have just been waiting for us to return, running towards us before wrapping me in his arms and lifting me into the air, holding me close to him. His scent was intoxicating. I thought I would never see him again. The exhaustion had finally caught up with me and I collapsed in the safety of his arms, he pressed my hands against his chest and inhaled deeply, “I'm glad you're safe.” The sound of his voice comforted me, but at the same time made me feel guilty for what I had done back in the palace. The tears pooled at the corner of my eyes as I realized he was the last of his kind, “I'm
Chapter 292: Finally Diana's pov Karen and I met up while the others remained and watched the fire burn, leaving one after the other and not wanting to be caught as the fire spread rapidly. Karen had been thinking about it for a long time. She had wanted the werewolves to be on their own while the humans would be in their own zone and both shouldn't cross paths, “As much as I like you and you're a really good person, it's only for the best.” This I understood completely and wouldn't have had it any other way. We came to an agreement before staring at the blazing fire, it was going to burn as the size of the palace was humongous. This would also clear whatever had been killing them as we didn't want it to attach itself to us. It might have only been the lycans, but who was to say it didn't affect the locals as well? It might just be taking much longer before it attacks us. My prayer was to the moon goddess that it would wait for a very long time. The humans and the werewolves th
Chapter 291: The End Of A Reign Diana POVI drained the last bit of energy I had just to keep him alive which I succeeded in doing. Taking in a large gulp of air, I laid down beside him and his twin brother.He was alright, I repeated this in my head and thanked the moon goddess for not taking him away. She had been by my side the entire time just as she had promised.After taking that log of air, before finally realizing that the room had been occupied by the others, Karen, Roy, as well as others who had followed us into battle.They stood staring back at me as I stood to my feet and helped Daniel sit up. It was quiet, save for the shuffling of feets.Being surrounded by so many people, months ago I would have been scared and shied away but now here I stood. Our mission that day was to save the humans and the werewolves from the hands of the lycans but we had done more than that.“The Lycans after witnessing the death of their king had lost all hope to fight and fled the scene,” Kar
Chapter 290: Snapped Neck Diana's povIf I remember correctly, the pendant had been manufactured by Luke's mother, the witch. Apparently, it was made specifically for Silver bloods. I didn't know the full extent of it, but having been attacked by it with the king before, it had something that made us weak.“You think that's going to hurt me?” I stared at the pendant quizzically, the king had only held it out to me when there had only been a moment of weakness and nothing more, which was the same thing that happened now.Donald chuckled, “It might not hurt you, but might keep you down enough for me to kill you.” The smirk had vanished from his face and his eyes darkened, taking a step towards me with his hands stretched out in front of him.From this distance, I could already feel the effects of the pendant. A constant ringing that got louder and louder, it felt as though the very blood that ran through my veins was boiling and I felt hot all over.My teeth gnashed against each other
Chapter 289: An Imposter. A Bastard. Diana's pov.“Donald? What the hell are you talking about?” Who the hell was Donald and why was he speaking in such a manner? His voice had changed as well as his accent.His smile morphed into the soft smile I had always known Daniel to have, but in the next second, it disappeared, there was something different.He cackled at my perplexity, “You are not Daniel, are you?” I questioned his weird behavior.He shook his head, “I didn't peg you to be really slow, Diana. Then again, it's not like you can tell the difference, can you?” “Daniel is my twin brother, bring him out boys,” he yelled out and two of the guards brought out an identical person, dragging him by the hands while his knees scraped the floors.This version of Daniel was looking bruised and battered and on the verge of death, “Allow me present to you, my younger brother, Daniel,” he triumphantly said as he walked off the dias and towards the real Daniel.They were really identical tw
Chapter 288: A Riddle?Diana's pov It was over.Standing at the highest point in the palace for everyone to see and gazing down at them as they all came to a stand still.Hughes laid with his back pressed against the earth for everyone to see that the kingdom had finally fallen.A kingdom with no king is as good as doomed, at least that's what they said but I seemed to disagree, it didn't matter if we had a king or not, what mattered was peace and equality.This was a show and the Lycans knew that they had lost the battle and the war, and it was only a matter of time before they faded away into dust. There would only be one Lycan left in the kingdom.I needed to find the queen and the princess and save them, my thoughts trailed back to Alaric. He shouldn't have to suffer the loss of being alone, as much as I hated the both of them.The queen had been nothing but spite, holding me down on her leash like I was some dog, threatening me every second she had gotten, and the princess had b
Chapter 287: Gone Is The Usurper Diana's pov.I ordered some of the men to set out and look for the survivors and lead them out of the Palace. The humans, the werewolves, as well as Beatrice and the others that had been left behind.While the rest of us would be making our way to the throne room or wherever the king was, he would have to pay for the crimes that he had committed.We moved into action, the lycans were not a force that could be reckoned with, maybe a few months ago, now they were like children in the hands of mere wolves.Fighting then wasn't the problem, as we moved as a team, but we also needed to hurry and end this as soon as possible.I ran up to the throne room where I thought he would have been but encountered two of the guards which I had to fight. After putting them down I questioned them and found that the king was in his chambers.A coward he was, slitting their throats right afterward and making my way towards his chamber. My mind was resolute, my anger const
Chapter 286: A Unified FrontDiana's pov.Karen and I had returned back to the gates of the upper city and then arrived at the pack. Helene and Sarah were most shocked to see Kaleb on my back.“I can't believe you found him, I can't believe he's alive.” The tears pooled at the corners of her eyes as she fussed over him on the couch, thanking me repeatedly as she hugged her long-lost son.Sarah also tried to comfort herself but lost the battle as the tears spilled down the side of her face.“We don't have much time, Luke and Delilah are still in the palace. They were most likely captured and we have to do whatever we can to get them out, as well as your sister.” Helene sniffed and cleared up her nostrils, “I see you've finally met Beatrice.”I nodded, “We had already met quite several times, we need to storm the castle with whatever we have, but first I need to help him get stable.” They all stared at me with looks of determination, Alaric came up from behind me, his hands circling a
Chapter 285: Luke Vs Hughes Luke's pov.When I found out that Delilah had returned, my heart stopped as I feared that I might just lose her like I did the first time. But after watching her go through the lycans as though they were mere dolls, I couldn't have been more proud.My mate was practically the strongest wolf out there and even I couldn't compare to what she could do. I thought all this while I had to protect her when she could protect herself.At least Diana and the others had been able to escape, we just needed to worry about ourselves, but I was already getting exhausted.After going head to head with at least four of the Lycans, taking a few hits here and there, my focus was lost and I received a fatal blow in the guts, which I doubled over, gasping for breath.The lycan stood over me as I raised my head to look him in the eye, a smirk sat on his lips as he knew he had the advantage now. If it had been a one-on-one fight, I would have used his dumb ass face to mop the fl
