Chapter 209: Malcolm Walker Diana's povI stared into space while we were taken back to the pack house, leaving the chaos and destruction behind us. I couldn't bear to glance around an array of dead and burnt bodies of the lycan, I would only be throwing up.The others kept staring at me as though I was an alien species that they had never seen before, maybe I was, what species would have been able to completely obliterate lycans in mere seconds.Ava glanced at me every few minutes and so did the few others that I didn't know or see before, I leaned on my brother for support as I couldn't feel my legs.They were the reason Daemon had sacrificed himself, he knew that they were too close and would have been caught up in my onslaught and so had to stop me or else they wouldn't have survived.I would have felt the exact same guilt that I did, Daemon wasn't meant to die, his last words resonated in my mind; ‘I shouldn’t let anger or fear override my emotions.’ They were what was holding m
Chapter 210: The Pendant Third person's pov Alaric had been requested by his trusted bodyguard, Charles, just before he had exited the palace with the army assembled, apparently it was of urgency and it truly was.When he had arrived, he watched as Emily breathed heavily and couldn't help but be worried as she screamed every few seconds, holding onto her enlarged abdomen.“The baby is coming,” she struggled to say as she scrunched her face in pain, doubling over in an attempt to subdue the aching feeling but it was of only little relief.Alaric couldn't believe it as he frowned, “The baby isn't supposed to arrive for at least another month or two.” He had counted the months that had passed.Emily groaned while the wet nurse beside her answered, “Your highness, we need to get the doctors in the hospital as fast as possible.” Emily let out another shrill and pitched at the nurse's shoulder before telling her to hurry up.Alaric ran his hand through his hair as he couldn't believe his
Chapter 211: Triple The Size Third person povThe king, satisfied with his new found weapon, has it in mind to search for the manufacturer of such a weapon; it was a witch that had been present in the castle.“Send out a guard to find the witch and bring her to me,” he ordered without taking his eyes off the pendant.After his brief survey, he was about to leave the scientist's work space when he recalled that he was meant to see results from the scientist, he glanced around and stared at the doctor condescendingly, “What do you have for me George?” The scientist being placed under scrutiny shivered, and stuttered, “Uhm… yes, i was just about to go through the first experiment your majesty, would you care to watch?”George didn't wait for the king's response as he led him towards the theater. He hadn't really placed everything in the order of perfection that was necessary for him to function but the king was already breathing down his neck, his presence overwhelming the little old h
Chapter 212: Rejecting The Vial Of Silver Third person's pov The king, disappointed, barged out of the lab and made his way back to his chambers; a guard approached him to inform him about the witch.“She was seen being dragged by the traitors that had infiltrated the palace,” the guard shook in his boots as he had to deliver such information to an already angry king.The king stood in confusion, already boiling with rage, not believing that they would have entered the palace just for her, he doubted it.“The prince would not be able to go on to the battlefield as the princess recently just went into labor,,” the guard continued.King William didn't know just how to feel about that, he would have been happy if it weren't for the series of bad events that had been taking place.He sighed deeply, before continuing his way back to his chamber and ordering that the queen be fetched for him.In the confines of his room, he twirled the pendant between his fingers, the only object strong e
Chapter 213: A Lost Little LifeAlaric's pov Time was not on my side, especially after I heard that the army had gone ahead of me, under the command of my most hated General Mordrid.I bit my tongue nervously, Diana was out there and there was a chance that she might just be placed in danger, I couldn't let that happen. I couldn't also leave Emily either, she's having my child, as much as I didn't want to be here, the child was mine.I paced just outside her chambers, worried. I should have been in there with her but she had insisted against it, or at least her wet nurse insisted against it saying this isn't a normal pregnancy and it was going to be a premature birth, which is very dangerous, especially when it came to Lycans.All the more reason why I should have been in there, but there was no point arguing as she entered into labor, her screams echoed the walls of the palace periodically.“How is she?” Minister Hughes had rushed over, making inquiries of his daughter.I nodded tow
Chapter 214: Brittle Shoulders Diana's povI released a breath knowing I couldn't stay out here for long.Gazing up at the moon one last time wondering why all this was happening in the first place. Why me? Lingering for a few seconds before I walked into the pack house. In the room, a tension filled the air, so much that you could smell it.I narrowed my eyes as I let them roam around the room taking in everyone's expressions as they all stared in disbelief towards Miranda's direction. Going to stand beside my brother and whisper “What's going on?”“Her future was bleak, all their futures were bleak, where did they come from? You all didn't ask these questions and just sprung up and think they are the ones that are meant to be. I did what I had to do because I thought they were a threat because they are unknown,” Miranda defended before Raine had a chance to speak.“Mother, what were you thinking? Oh goddess no." Luke ran his hands through his hair in frustration, appearing as t
Chapter 215: The New Fear Diana's pov The next morning, battle preparation was being made bright and early. I would have surmised that it was too early but sources claim that the army was prepared to attack. We needed to be on our guard as well.What I wanted more was to not be a part of this conversation but the Luna thought otherwise being that I am the Chosen One. Apparently, I was involved directly whether I liked it or not and barely had a choice from the very beginning until now.I drew back to a corner and watched as Luna and Alpha both worked together inserting plans. “Blood Moon Park was meant to arrive earlier; they have sent a messenger to deliver the message that they would join us later.”I zoomed out of the conversation but was quickly brought back when someone bolted through the doors of The Luna's Office.A frown settled on her features at the sudden interruption. “What the hell do you think you're doing? This is a private meeting,” she growled out.Alpha Louis on t
Chapter 216: The Screams In Silence Diana's pov.Plumping down on the sofas and blowing out a breath in disbelief, how could they possibly be afraid of me? The more I thought about it, the more I saw a reasoning behind their fear.Even I would be afraid of me if I had witnessed what I had done to those lycans. I had obliterated them into oblivion, turning them to crisp, the only evidence left was their blood trail which was washed away by the pouring rain.There was a dreadful feeling in my heart as the knowledge of their fear didn't sit right with me. I was the Chosen One for goddesses' sake, if they feared me how the hell was I meant to save them? I couldn't even help now.Their fears and worries were understandable, for someone who only fought when they were angry. Their emotions brought out the worst in them and couldn't even control the reigns on it.I ran a hand through my hair as a feeling of frustration was added, Daemon's words rang in my ears; ”Don't let anger override yo
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
