Chapter 201: A Silver Blood Captured Third person povAfter the shocking news that she had just received, Marilyn was plunged into a state of confusion, scared as hell as she powered through her daily chores in the palace. No one could imagine the turmoil she went through day after day with the secret she carried on her shoulders.She contemplated whether or not to keep a secret this big when her life literally depended on it.She had defended Diana with her full chest knowing Diana was an innocent person. She had been deceived all this while, a fool amongst the trio. She was blinded by their kindness and didn't see them for who they really were, now she had to face the consequences of being an accomplice.Everywhere she stepped she was cautious that they might know the secret she carried on her shoulders. When she saw the prince, it was even worse, but she couldn't report to anyone. These were her friends and Sarah had pleaded with her even.She would just have to keep this secret,
Chapter 202: The Luke RevengeThird person pov While the castle remained in the state of unrest caused by the uprising of the silver bloods, Queen Morgan Megan had chosen this period to return back to the palace after her brief encounter with the witch who she had struggled to find but finally succeeded.It wasn't an entire success though, the witch had demands that would be needed if she was to help her and also what she referred to as ingredients.The abled Queen had provided a few of them but what remained was two items on the list, one of them wasn't a problem as she had the item in her closet.The Dactyls clove flower. It had been a gift to her which she cherried the most, the scent was as calming as the scent of the ocean, the feeling of calmness as the waves crashed against each other.The other item however was difficult to find. The blood of the rebels, she had barely seen these so called barbarians, let alone encountered one of them.All she had heard was rumors of how powe
Chapter 203: What Have You Done?Diana's pov.It's been a few weeks since Delilah had been abducted and Luke had not been taking it likely, always in a bad mood and wanting to rescue her as soon as possible.Understandable, considering I would do the exact same thing if the roles were reversed.He had tried speaking with Luna Helene for a change but her actions were rather slow, in his words.Her plan entailed having to reach out to the other packs and ask for their assistance as she believes invading the pack in mass could be the best option, but Luke on the other hand believes that it might be too late by the time they responded to her invitation.They were at an impasse once again until Luke couldn't wait any longer and decided to go on a rescue mission on his own without the knowledge of Luna and the rest of the pack. This would include me if I didn't catch him sneaking around and preparing to leave.“Don't try to stop me Diana, I have to do this,” he said with a frown on his face
Chapter 204: Fulfilling The Wish Of The MinistersAlaric's povI thought my senses were playing tricks on me, the scent of Diana wafted through my nose, and I couldn't help but freeze. There was no way Diana was in the palace, she could get caught and there would barely be a thing I could do for her.I decided to push the thought to the back of my mind, doubting my senses that Diana would actually enter the palace at this time of the night.“Is something the matter?” Emily asked from beside me, begrudgingly as she rubbed the sleep away from her eyelids and placed a hand on my shoulders. Now more than ever I felt a sense of irritation, the thought and scent of Diana clouding my judgment.A sigh escaped my lips, “I’m fine. You can go back to sleep," I noted with a frown on my face before turning away from her and resting my head back on the pillow. Not a few seconds after, the sounds of the palace alarms blared loudly and I launched out of my bed at the signal of intruders. Looking al
Chapter 205: Kill Or Be Killed Diana's pov.Luke grabbed his mother's hands and pulled her along as we made our way towards the palace gates, which was quite far. The mission had been compromised and we still had no idea of Delilah's location.Luke's mother questioned continuously as we raced towards our exit and safety. I would understand her confusion, I'm guessing she hadn't been in the palace for a while.Adrenaline pumping and my heart racing. Once again, I was making an attempt to flee from the palace, weaving through endless passages and running from guards which seemed to pop up at every turn. I had lived and worked in the palace for such a long time, I shouldn't have felt frustrated from how large it was but those were the feelings that bubbled up within me at that moment.“Why didn't you tell me the witch was your mother?” I questioned at the same time, the witch in question spoke as well, questioning why her son was with a creature like me. I couldn't help but scoff. What
Chapter 206: Not A Chance Third person povThe fight raged on but it didn't take too long for the squad to tire. Four against a hundred Lycans was just too much for a mid witch, one werewolf, a half werewolf and an inexperienced silver blood who has no idea the power she has within her.They received only a few seconds of rest, panting heavily as going long hours with the vengeful Lycans was taking its toll on them, but it was “Either kill or be killed,” Luke's sentence which resonated in their minds.They knew if they fought on, they would be captured and worse, killed. It would be better for them to fight to the death, than to die a coward's death at the hands of the king.Diana tried her best to employ what she had been taught over the weeks and months of constant drilling. She had been doing quite well but she could only do so much when faced with a barrage of adversaries.“They wouldn't have been attacking us if she weren't here,” the first time Miranda spoke as she attacked Dia
Chapter 207: Daemon Is GoneThird person povThe anger that surged through her was unimaginable.The tips of her fingers tingle and she could hear the blood pulsing through her veins, her breathing increasing in sync with the heavy droplets that patterned on her skin, mixing with her tears.It felt as though she was about to explode any second, with the constant rage building within her, she roared out in despair and pain and lashed out on everyone closest to her, losing herself in her anger.“Give it up already, it’s over,” a masculine voice sneered. Her body began to tremble, adrenaline coursing through her veins. Sharp claws punctured her skin as they shot out of her arms. There was a golden tint in her eyes as her back took an unnatural curve and then she stopped, partially shifted and enraged. “All that for a pair of claws?” the Lycan before her said and then burst out in a deep cackle, but the sound of his laughter was cut short when she lunged forward and slit his throat. He
Chapter 208: You Are The Chosen One Third person pov.Diana let out a shattering shrill that echoed in the forest. Her fingers clenched tightly the dust that slowly became mold by the little raindrops, silver locks drenched and washed clean the red liquid that matted her hair.The woods became silent with only her occasional sobs that resonated, apologizing for the tragic demise of her cherished friend, whom she had, in a moment of irreversible consequence, ended with her own hands—her heart weighed heavy with the burden of such crime.It was too late now, he couldn't hear her.The sound of footsteps reached her ears, thudding through the damp ground as they neared her. Slowly, they drew closer with caution, unsure of what they were getting into.Diana lifted her gaze, tears cascading down her cheeks, her trembling breath betraying the storm inside as she sniffed.The Crescent pack had arrived. their eyes narrowing as they took in the grim spectacle before them. What once was a fores
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
