Chapter 219: SuspicionsAlaric's pov.After the news of my child's death, silence enveloped the room, the air hung with the smell of death and blood, holding onto the still child in my hands.I gazed down at the small stature, not knowing what to think or do at that moment and just staring at him.Emily thrashed and cried on the bed, or at least she tried to with just how weak she was and how pale her skin appeared, “This wasn't meant to be, he was supposed to be fine.” Her father cooed at her and tried to calm her down, but he as well was barely holding in his anger.Their shouts filled my ear and my annoyance rose. I moved over to the window, gazing down at the palace ground and seeing the armies that exited the palace.My breathing leveled, although I lost my child that day, there was no time to grieve him, “You, take him,” I handed the child to the nurse and stormed my way out of the room when Hughes launched up from the side of the bed.“You are just going to leave?” He barked i
Chapter 220: Instincts To Heal Diana's povA shadow of a retching pain passed through me, I groaned before stirring. My eyelids became too heavy before they lifted up and I cracked my eyes open slowly. The world blurred momentarily as lights shrouded my vision, too bright for my senses, making me squint before a figure blocked my vision, “You're finally awake,” the voice whispered.My vision cleared up and Daniel's smiling face appeared in my vision, “You gave everyone a scare for a second,” he stepped away for a second to get me a glass of water and helped me sit up on the bed, pressing the rims of the glass against my lips as i took a sip before downing the glass completely.I was parched and I finally found my voice, clearing my throat, “Is he okay? Is my brother okay?” I inquired frantically as to the events of what appeared to be the previous nights returned back to me and how…I trailed off as I had no idea what I had done in the first place. I felt my hand prick and I glance
Chapter 221: Charles And Minister HughesAlaric's povAfter a few minutes of lying on the floor, I finally regained my breathing and the pain subsided. “What the hell was that?” I questioned as I panted frantically, slowly climbing to my feet using the door behind me as support. The pain was so intense, like cuts all over my body but in my case, the cuts were all over my soul and it was the worst feeling.My first thought was Diana and I began to worry that something bad had happened to her. I needed to go check up on her. Breathing deeply, I made my way to the windowsill, basking in the light from the moon and gazing downward. The pain had subsided but my worry still remained.“She's okay now, she's okay now,” I repeated as I could feel it deep within me. But that didn't derail me from wanting to see her so badly, to gaze upon her porcelain face and be lost in those blue eyes of hers. Her image from the last time she was in my presence flashed in my mind and I realized just how muc
Chapter 222: I Did Think It.Diana's povEveryone had their thoughts sorted out and so did I, or at least I tried. Some hadn't been mine and most of them stood out to me.Daniel had asked if everything was okay as I seemed so very deep in my thoughts, “Oh yeah, I'm fine, I just need a little bit of rest,” I replied with a smile. I couldn't bear for them to be worried about me, there was already a war brewing to worry about.Luna Helene had instructed that I should get some rest while he asked the others to leave, saying we would discuss a new strategy as the King wasn't giving us enough space to breathe any longer, “We need all hands on deck,” she had said.One by one, they filed out of the room with the Luna in the lead and Daniel following right after saying goodbye, Raine lingered a bit and thanked me before leaving. As well as they needed to make better preparations, I could see the guilt in his eyes before he left. Malcom waved and I was left with Ava who had a frown on her face
Chapter 223: Who Is Caspian Diana's povI stared at her bubbly expression in shock as I couldn't believe what she had said, or rather what she had thought.How was this even possible? I wondered in confusion, it should have been impossible as I have never heard of such before.“You can finally hear thoughts.” She said rather excitedly and proud of my achievements which I wasn't aware of in the first place.I shook my head in disbelief, “Hearing thoughts is a thing?” I questioned in confusion. It wasn't a known practice, or maybe because I had never been in tune with my wolf self to be involved in such.Her lips barely moved once again, “What do you think?” She raised her brow in a-matter-of-fact way.I jerked back at the sound of her voice in my head. It was scary and weird to have voices other than mine in my head and then I recalled, it wasn't for up to an hour when I heard multiple voices in my head. They weren't mine and that I knew but I wondered whose they could have been and
Chapter 224: Whose Voice Was It?Diana The voices ceased and I returned back to the conversation that was ongoing in the room.All eyes were on me and I tilted my head in question, why were they all staring at me? “Do you agree with the plan, Diana?” Luna rephrased again and I had no idea what the plan was in the first place but nodded anyway. The conversation in the room wrapped up and we were all dismissed to our various posts and to begin preparations.The room emptied out and Luna returned back to her room, leaving just Ava, my brother and me in the room. I approached the both of them with a frown on my face, informing them that I heard the voices again and wondered if she had heard them as well.Ava pursed her lips and a look was passed between the both of them. I hadn't realized Raine still didn't know of my new found ability which explained the confused look on his face, brows closer to each other as Ava proceeded to fill him in which I really didn't mind.“I guess you hear
Chapter 225: Emily's Lifeless EyesAlaric's povI stayed in silence as I eavesdropped on the conversation between Minister Hughes and the one person I thought I could trust, Charles, my aide. How long has this been going on? How long has he been hiding behind my back and delivering information to minister hughes? And why?The conversation came to an abrupt end, Charles had given Mr Hughes a run down of my activities and actions around the palace. But at that moment, they were more focused on sasha. Minister Hughes wasn't letting whatever his daughter had said very lightly, I concluded after hearing his instructions to take care of her.His voice was harsh as he instructed and I knew that was my cue to leave as Charles bowed. I could have headed back to my room, but I thought about it as I should check up on Emily's health before I left.Hughes had not returned and I walked into her chambers, the room was shrouded in darkness as the curtains were drawn to a close, the lights from th
Chapter 226: The Doctor's TestAlaric's povThe body on the ground remained lifeless and I couldn't believe that Emily had gone.I glanced up at the palace, high above, squinting as the sun reflected in my eye. I gazed at the opened windows where she had jumped out from, which was so high up. There was no way anyone was going to survive from a fall like that.A servant pushed through the crowd and fell to her knees, “Your highness, this was all my fault. I was meant to be watching after her,” she confessed as the tears rolled slowly down her reddened face, it appeared as though she had been crying for quite a while already.It was Marylin, how the hell was she associated with Emily's death, she wasn't even present when she had given birth? I questioned in my mind and gazed down at her pitiful figure as she trembled, her shoulders shaking quite violently as she bowed her head.There were some noise coming from the back, and the crowd departed as two figures where seen running into the
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
