Chapter 269: Point Of KillDiana's pov We all jumped out of the way from the raging monster as it zoomed past us with a speed that could only be matched by a silver blood.“What in tarnations is that?” Raine exclaimed in a whisper, the disbelief of the existence of such a thing, we were all dumbfounded.His teeth were sharp and bare and locked in all directions as once again he lunged at us, luckily we had fast reflexes, but even those were getting a bit slow when matched with him.“What are we going to do, this does not look like the humans they described,” I shouted over the roars that echoed in the forest.The monster used the darkness as its cover, at the same time acted as though it wasn't in the dark, lunging every few seconds, its speed was unquestionable.“Let’s split up, it can't attack all of us at the same time,” Raine suggested.Why did I have the feeling that it was going to attack me instead? We all started going in different directions. Its roar sent a shiver down my s
Chapter 270: Roy!Diana’s povWith the arrow pointed at me, I froze in my spot, stretching my hands out in front of me to try and calm her down. These must have been the humans that the warriors had been talking about; we wouldn't have been able to find them if it weren't for this monster here.“Karen, what are you waiting for? Shoot him,” a boy ran up to the girl named Karen with a gun in hand and hurriedly said.The monster in question already had two arrows sticking out of him and continued to whimper in pain, “Please don't hurt him,” I begged, moving cautiously toward them.The boy who had just arrived noticed me and trained his gun at me, “Who are you? Who is she?” he questioned frantically, his breathing ragged, the confusion evident on his face.Karen responded with so much hate in her voice, “Probably a mutt herself, here to protect her friend.” The fact that she just called me a mutt was quite offensive but now was not the time to be concerned.However, what mattered was prot
Chapter 271: Faster Than A Lycan Diana’s pov“You know him?” I directed my question to Karen as he stared in confusion at the boy who was butt naked on the floor, shivering in fear. Karen didn't respond to me as she took careful steps towards the boy who flinched back at the sudden movements.His breathing was ragged and his eyes displayed the fear that he was experiencing, “Hey, hey hey, it's okay. It's just me, Karen, your cousin,” she cooed at him and advanced even more slowly.They were related, how was that even possible, she was a human and he was…Well I didn't know what he was. Karen had reached the boy, taking his trembling hands into hers before pulling him into a deep embrace, “I can't believe you're still alive, we thought you were dead,” her breath came out hushed. The only voices that could be heard was the heavy breathing around me as we all watched the scene unfold before us, “Where have you been? What… what did they do to you?” she asked in horror, the thought of t
Chapter 272: Chaos And Walls Diana's povRoy had transformed back into the monster he was and began to terrorize the others, swiping at them with his large claws, not an ounce of remorse in his eyes as he watched them run around him. The anger had replaced the fearful look in his eyes but I knew he was still the one in there.They knew who he was as well. They couldn't rightly attack him but had to avoid his deathly strike to save themselves, but they weren't giving up, repeatedly calling at him and trying to read him.“We need to help them.” It was hard watching them struggle with a family member and they didn't want to kill him as well.Ava’s features scrunched up at the idea, “Why should we? They were the ones that said they would kill us if we ever crossed paths again, not like they ever could in a million years no matter the weapons they have.”She didn’t understand, did she? “It’s not about that. We came here to make peace with them, to understand why they hate us so much, le
Chapter 273: The Good People Diana’s povRoy glanced towards me in his rage and time seemed to stop as we stared into each other's eyes.His rage seemed to be disappearing and the familiar fear returned once again and I really hoped I finally got to him. The next moment he began to reduce in size and shift and I breathed out a sigh of relief.Once he had shed his fur and his fangs had retracted back into his mouth, the relief washed over me. Roy ran up to me and threw his hands around me, burying his face into my chest as we were of the same height. Alaric came forth to draw the boy away from me but I held my hands out for him to stop.Holding the boy tight but he held me tighter and wasn't ready to let go anytime soon, “You're okay now, you're safe,” I whispered soft words into his ears to calm his beating heart down, kissing the side of his head. I might have never known him before, but after the short time I had spent in his mind, the connection was still strong,“Get away from my
Chapter 274: Explained Monstrosities Diana’s povThe silence reigned over us as we stared down at each other but my eyes couldn't stay open for long as they dropped after a while before Karen responded, “Fine, we will hear what you have to say,” She turned around and walked away.Roy moved behind me at the sound of her voice which was an odd behavior as it had been his aunt to speak.It was an odd behavior to everyone else, but not to me. There was a reason why her voice scared him like that, and the reason was that he had seen her face a few times, but not in those human eyes, in the eyes of his wolf. And every time, she had either tried to kill him or ordered for his death and none of them were feasible for him.Luckily, Karen hadn't noticed his weird behavior and walked away. Raine held me by the arm upright and towards where they were leading us, as he scolded me, “That was reckless of you, you could have gotten yourself hurt or even—.” “If you were in my position, what would yo
Chapter 275: Lycans Or Werewolves Diana’s povAccording to Karen, there had been multiple attacks on their town and the other towns. The wolves had ravaged them all and struck fear in the hearts of the humans each night, killing their people with no remorse, kidnapping one of them and they hadn't even started the reason why they were doing such.Ava and I glanced at each other as there was no way much of this would have been true, we had been protecting the humans alongside the werewolves, and all of a sudden this was just popping up now.Karen also mentioned that this had been happening for a long time and they couldn't take it any longer and had to retaliate. “I can assure you, we had no knowledge of this, but…” If what she had been saying all these while were the truth, then there was only one explanation.“But what.” Karen prompted and out of nowhere, two women ran towards us, and alongside them Matteo who had just disappeared a few seconds ago.One of the women rushed up to me
Chapter 276: The Monster He Became Diana’s pov“That is something out of the question entirely.” There was nothing I could think of that would explain a human shifting into a werewolf. “What really happened to him? Was he bitten on the night that he had been taken?” Karen shook her head.If he was not bitten and none of his parents had been werewolves then there was no possible way for him to have shifted and even more so to a creature so hideous. It couldn't be explained, “If there were a few people that would explain this, it would be the people that had kidnapped him, we would have to find them and question them.”That was the only solution we could come up with at the moment, but my mind was still disturbed by the images that flashed before me when I had entered his mind. They were horrific, everything about it felt wrong and bad but they couldn't be pieced together, at least not by me, “We would need to speak with Roy to know where he had been all these while and what had been
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
