Chapter 240: A Daemon’s Gratitude Diana's povWe had engaged in combat and I wasn't able to keep up as I had the last time we had fought and Ava noticed it as well.“Keep your mind in the game, Diana,” she instructed as we resumed fighting. It was her way of helping me bring out the wolf from within.The idea that a wolf was inside of me was foreign to me, I had never thought of shifting as part of my life, but apparently there was a possible chance that I was able to shift, late blooming was a thing even as rare as it was.Once again she knocked me down on my butt, my breathing increased as I panted heavily. Being knocked down once again was so embarrassing, hurtful as well. All my training wasn't being put to good use and Daemon would wretch in his grave if he saw how I was getting beaten.In anger, gritting my teeth, grabbing a fist full of grasses, pulling at their roots and launching them to my feet. My blood was boiling and I felt restless as I ran up to Ava once again.The pun
Chapter 241: The Evidence In The Fireplace Diana’s pov After that realization, I returned back to the pack house with a burst of energy as well as clarity. If there was one person that would keep these werewolves safe it was going to be me and I wasn't going to let anything happen to them.There were a few things that I needed to do; One of them being to apologize to Ava. She had taken the brunt force of my anger and she was only trying to help but that would have to wait as there was a nagging feeling that settled at the back of my mind.Ava was no longer at the training ground and I made my way back to the pack house instead, my gaze searched the crowd and paused as I spotted Luna Helene.She weaved through them all, greeting them with a broad smile on her face, helping when it was needed and offering advice when asked, she was just so perfect.And that was my problem, no one could be so perfect. I had failed to see it before as I was just blinded by her kindness and the fact that
Chapter 242: The Origin Of HuntersKaren's povWe stood over the two bodies for only a few seconds and time for celebration would be later as the howls echoed in the night time. It meant the others would be here any minute now.My brother was still able to stand on his own and we helped the two others who had the consciousness and made our way back to the house, leaving the two guards laying on the ground.The excitement I felt that blossomed in my heart couldn't be explained, after all these while, I had finally discovered the one weakness that could finally give us an edge over them.Arriving at the house, the three of them had been taken to a section of the house where my aunt asked that they be brought in and she began to treat their wounds.The adrenaline pumped through me, the rush, my blood pulsating beside my ears from the thrill and I tried to calm down and think straight.Although it had taken a bit longer before they had experienced any signs of weakness, it was either the
Chapter 243: To Choose Alaric's pov Night had come upon the palace once again and I found myself wandering the palace in search of answers. I had sent Charles away on another mindless errand, I didn't want to have him return information back to Hughes and I hadn't had the time to dispose of him yet. I had found myself in this situation much longer than I could count, strolling through the halls of the castle and the feeling of loneliness and restlessness battled against each other. Trust was a fleeting ideal that had been abandoned after so many years, what was left now was conniving and conning people that were all around me. I had to tail Sasha as I needed to know who she was involved with and what her mission was in the palace. I might have been the one to invite her into the palace, maybe I had invited a snake as well from the outside and it wouldn't surprise me if that was what she was. Blending into the night with my dark clothes, I waited until she had exited t
Chapter 244: The Seething Crown Third person pov. The king after receiving the news seethed in anger. He couldn't believe the Chosen One whose bare title had haunted his days for the past 18 years had been under his nose the entire time. Why hadn't he noticed it? There had been a number of werewolves that had resided in the palace but she had been just as ordinary as the rest of them. The only thing that had been different was her hair color which he had failed to notice at the time only recently. The hair color had evaded his senses as he had never seen a Silver Blood at the time and didn't know how they appeared or what they could do. She had been in his grasp and had let her go. He remembered the time when his son's mate had mentioned about Diana having powers and he had her tortured until she confessed or even better used her powers to defend herself. But at the time nothing had happened and he was made to believe that she hadn't been the Chosen One. He glared at the
Chapter 245: The Looming Danger Karen's pov We waited in the middle of the night, anxious at the sudden predicament we had found ourselves in. They weren't attacking, just standing outside and watching the house which was even more strange. Staring straight at the house in a weird manner that hadn't happened before. It made me a bit skeptical and thought they might have other tricks up their sleeves. I always like to be open minded and ready for any surprise at any time but this was quite a surprise as well as confusing. “Why aren't they attacking”? My aunt flora questioned, mirroring my confusion, holding a revolver close to her chest while her eyes darted around frantically as she peeked outside through the windows. One could tell that she was scared as the gun shook subtly in her grip. I really wanted her to have been down in the basement and not out here, but she had insisted on helping out. Her words; We were safer in numbers. We waited for a little while before th
Chapter 246: Whatever Happened Diana's pov My heart was in my throat as I held my breath while the doors slowly opened up. I wouldn't be going down without a fight if it was down to it. But I prayed to the moon goddess that it wasn't going to come to that, I would have to talk with her and try to get myself out of this situation. “Ava! What are you doing here?” I berated as I released the breath I was holding and placed a hand over my fast beating heart, feeling the thump underneath my finger tips. She had scared the life out of me, I had almost thought Luna Helene had caught me. That wouldn't have been too good. Ava had a confused look frozen on her face as she stared at me, “I came to see the Luna, what are you doing here? And where is Luna Helene?” She asked suspiciously and I subconsciously felt the paper that was pressed against my left butt cheek and took a step back, questioning why she had to arrive at that specific moment in time. I really didn't want to inform h
Chapter 247: Protect The OthersDiana's povThe door was pushed open and Luna Helene with a suspicious but playful glint in her eyes walked into the room as we both stood, side by side with our shoulders pressed against each other.“What are you guys doing here? Aren't you meant to be preparing for the battle ahead?” She hung her coat on the stand.I was milliseconds away from screaming for Ava to snap out of it with our connection but I didn't have to as she responded, “Yes, we were actually looking for you.” I breathed a sigh of relief, especially when I heard her voice assuring me that she was fine and that she was going to get us out of here.“What is this about exactly, it must be serious if you've been waiting for a while.” Her playful glint shifted to one of worry as she rounded us towards her table. I followed her movements with my eyes with a look of suspicion of my own.I wondered what Ava was going to say now.“Regarding the placement and positions of the war, Zora mention
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
