Chapter 103.Diana's pov.There was a deafening silence as Sarah had left.I was left with the noise of my thoughts, the only thing I had to occupy my mind.I laid down on my bed and thought of what Sarah had said, I couldn't help but chuckle bitterly to myself.She had betrayed me, she was here to watch me. Did she even consider me her friend or was that all part of her mission?It made me wonder if I could trust Marilyn, although she had lived in the castle all her life. Daemon's words echoed in my mind once again. I just needed to be careful as they were both my friends. I should trust them partly, but always be ready to be stabbed in the back. Sarah wasn't necessarily a bad person, I just didn't like the fact that she had lied to me, and made me believe that she was my friend, then again I was also keeping a secret from her. “But that's different, I only just found out who I was. In my defense, she had a motive even before she entered the palace.”Coincidentally, I had been fu
Chapter 104.Alaric's pov.The king was a hot-tempered man.A man that shouldn't be crossed unless you wanted to get burnt, and that goes to say that those prime ministers were looking to get burnt.Although, my father wasn't going to punish them now, he definitely will when this talk of rebellion had gone down.But also, the chants of impeachment lingered in the air. I still thought my father was getting a bit out of hand and might not be able to hold the throne for much longer.My father would have been a wonderful king. He is a wonderful king, but I always felt like he was bothered about something else, he wasn't getting any sleep and it made him angry each time.“Have you seen your mother today?” Emily, who I was out on a stroll with, asked.She was taking advantage of her pregnancy which seemed to be bulging now. What has it been? Almost three months or so, she had suggested that we go on a walk together as it would be helpful for the baby as well as the mother.“My mother is ind
Chapter 105.Alaric's pov:Why was I being called upon when it's an issue that could be tackled by the guards. “Why can't the guards handle it themselves?” The guard who had been sent to find me heaved, “They tried to but those werewolves weren't backing down.”We were on our way out of the palace as he continued to explain the situation.“I didn't get the whole detail of how it started but it was chaos according to the information I had gotten. It was a whole riot.” I contemplated what our next move would have been. The werewolves were getting out of hand, this would only push the Lycans to war.“Get the imperial guards behind us, if it's that serious, we may have to utilize them,” I said before jumping into the car with the same guard by my side while he made a call to my order.There was a severity of the guard beside me. His hands were trembling. The guard was young, about sixteen or seventeen, which must be his first time.I glanced away from him as he should have been drilled
Chapter 106.Luke's pov. I sighed in despair.What a wild goose chase as I unfolded the scarf around my neck and hung it by the wall.I had gone out to find the stupid Derfyle clove flower that Shawn needed to repair the orb, but it was harder to find than I would have thought. The addresses Shawn had given to me weren't as much help as I would have liked them to be.There was a sudden knock on the door and I knew only one person would be visiting me right after I had returned, it was like he was monitoring me and would know the time I would return.“What do you want Nathan?” I questioned exasperated and tired of his whining and nagging all the time. I was frustrated, if I couldn't find that flower, Shawn wouldn't have the materials he needed to make the orb good as new.If that didn't happen, I wouldn't be able to tell who the chosen one was and where they might currently be and I was running out of time, I also needed to get the orb back to the king's chambers as soon as possible
Chapter 107Diana's pov.Sarah and I had been working all through the morning with not a single word passed with each other. She kept glancing at me trying to gauge my reaction.I didn't want it to look like I was the one that was desperate, my trust for her was still at a lower level, but I needed to know about these other ‘silver bloods’ as she had called them.We were finally through with our chore and it was time for us to depart to our separate quarters. I bit my lower lip nervously, not intending for her to leave but not wanting to initiate a conversation.She glanced at me but I still couldn't say a word, her eyes cast downwards as she left.I groaned loudly as I tried to punch an invisible wall in front of me, asking myself what exactly was wrong with me. I had this opportunity right in front of me and I hesitated.The days were passing by and the situation was getting dire. I had spotted a few werewolves today being ushered into the palace bloodied and bruised.I hadn't heard
Chapter 108Diana's pov.Sarah left me behind.I stood on the same spot contemplating hardly on what step to take. With everything on the line, she just said the security was getting tighter but she was willing to risk it and leave the palace.I made my way back to my cabin hesitantly, voices of doubt on such a dangerous and crazy move from her even as she was a spy.I waited all day, contemplating, meditating, trying to come up with the best decision, my nerves were eating me up.I paced my room anxiously, biting at my fingers. This was a dangerous task, more risky than dangerous at least.The thought of finding others that were like me, to understand what they were and what they could do, fascinated me. For once, I didn't have to be an outcast because of the way I looked.Sarah would be waiting for me by the gates, if I didn't make a decision now. Say I were to leave the palace and we were successful without being caught, that would be great. I could finally get more information o
Chapter 109.Diana's pov.Hyperventilating and this close to passing out, I struggled from their grip and almost yelled out before I heard a feminine voice.“Diana, calm down, it's just me,” she whisper-yelled.I finally calmed down and breathed a sigh of relief, “You really need to stop doing this,” I said between the breaths. I didn't enjoy being dragged unexpectedly every time.“Well if I just let you, you would have been caught,” she fished out the same white pearl and squashed it again. “If You are caught, then I'm caught,” she whispered as we stayed close to each other. “Plus you really need to stop running towards or away from dangerous men.”It was quite dark, I could barely see a thing while we waited. The guard passed at least twice before he stood just in front of us.I held my breath afraid that he might catch us with werewolf hearing but my heart seemed to be making a much larger noise. Seconds passed by but it felt like hours before the guard finally resigned and return
Chapter 110: Sarah's WolfDiana's pov.I continued to stare at the man who had approached us. He was definitely wearing a guard's uniform so that meant he was among the palace guards, why was he…?I trailed off as I listened in on their conversation.“Where is he?” Sarah questioned.“He's out like a light, but don't worry about it, now go before anyone else sees… uhm, who is she?” He must have just noticed me now.“She's with me, that's all you need to know for now,” Sarah replied in a flat tone, before she grabbed my wrist once more and pulled me out of the gates and out of the palace.I let myself be pulled as I doubted my ability to move on my own.“Be back early, you know the drill,” he called out as we passed through the gate and we were at the other side.Thinking this was some kind of prank, I kept glancing back continuously until the doors made a soft clack and closed behind me.We were out of the palace, and it was that easy? I scoffed in surprise, before I found my voice, “
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
