Chapter 119Diana's povMy screaming turned into harsh breaths as I released them, bringing my hands down as seconds passed and he still hasn't attacked me yet.Was he playing with me once again? He enjoyed seeing me squirm in fear while he taunted me.A slight whimper echoed softly in the night and it confused me. I searched the forest for traces of him.The wolf that had attacked me was laying on the floor a few feet away from me, I took cautions and slow steps, approaching him.With only a few steps away from his large form, staring into his lifeless eyes as his body grew still.He was dead.I was beyond confused, what exactly happened? Why had he flown so far away from me and then suddenly died?I glanced around in case there was another attacker before rushing over towards Sarah who had taken up her human form.After checking her pulse, I ascertained she was still alive but unconscious as well, which begged the question, who had saved me?My mind reverted to what had happened a c
Chapter 120Diana's pov.After approaching the gate, I waited not so patiently, my nerves were eating up at me as I anticipated.I wrapped a knuckle gently on the gate and hoped for the best. Hopefully, it wasn't the real guards on the other side of the gate.We couldn't have been more screwed.The locks to the gate sounded as it was pushed gently and quietly but way too slowly. My heart caught in my throat, I really didn't want to be interrogated again.“I told you to come back early,” a voice grumbled and I couldn't have been more relieved as I heaved a huge breath, relaxing but only for a bit as we were still by the gate which was dangerous.He stared wide-eyed as he observed the state Sarah was in and rushed to her aid, grabbing the other side of her arm as he questioned, “What happened?” His voice was laced with worry as we carried her through the gates.I couldn't help but be relieved at the sudden light weight that had been removed from my shoulders, although I still helped, it
Chapter 121.Diana's pov.The idea that I had used my bare hands to end a person's life was fresh in my memory. I couldn't shake off the image of his lifeless body, his eyes. He was just gone and I was the cause of that.I had been crying by the door all through the night while Sarah laid in my bed. My muscles were fatigued and heavy for me to raise myself up, but I just had to as the day was about to break fully and we wouldn't need to get to work.I glanced at her on the bed with teary eyes. She had sacrificed herself for me. I didn't have any other doubts about trusting them anymore, but my secret on being the chosen one was going to stay like that.I pulled myself up to my feet and walked into the bathroom to get a washcloth. I returned back to the room and situated myself close to Sarah as I gently dabbed at the dried blood on her skin.She had injuries everywhere but I wasn't scared she was going to die. I knew she was going to be okay because she was a werewolf. Werewolves have
Chapter 122.Alaric's povThe palace was on high alert.Although they wouldn't admit it, we feared the werewolves might make a move any time soon.The king had been worried about other things as always although he did make some remarks concerning the werewolves.I contemplated whether or not to inform him on the intel of the rebels that I had heard of before I returned back to the palace. It would only set him on edge but Minister Hughes was right, I was bound by the law to inform the king about my findings.The criminals we had caught the other day had all been detained and tortured until they were released with a warning as punishment for going against a minister and violating the rules of the region. Disrupting the peace.Although that was the verdict the court had decided, I thought otherwise. The story just didn't match up but I couldn't care less about them, what was done was done and there was no going back.Charles, my personal guard, had been giving me updates on what happene
Chapter 123Luke's pov.It was such a lovely weather.The sun shining brightly, giving a surreal glow to the garden where Queen Megan and her party of well dressed women and her ladies in waiting spent their day, under a canopy, enjoying the view.I paced back and forth, biting at my finger as I watched them enjoy such a lovely day, eating pastries as well, which were my priority at the time but my eyes were glued on the necklace Queen Megan wore.How did she get that necklace? Was the flower even real? Questions ravaged through my mind.There was only one way to find out, I needed to meet with her later on, but she had to be with the necklace for me to check it out.I hesitated, not wanting to lose sight of that flower for even a second but I couldn't just stand here looking like a creep.“Nathan? Have the kitchen bring me a few of these pastries,” I ordered him to which he bowed and left.After he had gone, I made my way back to the west wing, handing my coat, and I paced the floors
Chapter 124Diana's pov My heart races with Prince Alaric's close proximity. Images of the wolf last night flashed through my mind with the domineering presence before me, making me take a few steps backward.It didn't help that he also appeared to be furious, his teeths clenched and his brows knitted against each other. I shivered in fear as my back collided with a pillar behind me, there was nowhere for me to run.He paused in his tracks seeming to have noticed my movements, his features scrunched up in confusion.I was also beyond confused as well. Why did he approach me in public? He always maintained a distance and how much I wanted that right now.“Why is there another man's scent all over you,” he gritted his teeth as he questioned.I cocked my head in confusion, it took me a few seconds before I finally understood where his anger had stemmed from.Daemon had visited me but we had only talked for a brief second before I pushed him out. I promised that I would meet him later
Chapter 125.Alaric's pov.She started screaming and thrashing around. I couldn't take it any longer and backed away, staring at her in confusion before I walked out of the hall. Why did she have to treat me in such a manner?I was furious and clenched my fist tightly, she was so terrified of me. I could see it in her eyes, that was how much she feared me.I couldn't get her to tell me who she was with either, not that that mattered anyway, all I wanted was for her to be okay.While I tried to make sure she was okay she had pushed me away. I didn't want to hurt her, I couldn't, all I wanted was to wrap her in my arms and tell her everything would be fine.I hated seeing her in such light, I also despised seeing the fear, hatred and disgust in her eyes when she glanced at me.I growled loudly as I didn't know what to do about it. Stuck in between wanting her and wanting to stay far away from her.I needed some time away from her. I couldn't be feeling like this, especially with the whi
Chapter 126Diana's pov.I received a lot of stares as I begrudgingly made my way back to the maids’ quarters. It was like they were all judging me for killing him.I broke out in a cold sweat, my hair plastered to my forehead and dripped down to my chin. My eyes frantically scanning around while they fought to stay open.Little sounds made me flinch, the sudden flash of light and I'm curling into myself, I felt like I was being attacked with every second I was out in the open.I quivered in fear, my lips were dry from dehydration, the hairs at the back of my neck stood on edge, I felt sick to my stomach.“What do you think you are doing?” I shrieked back and covered my ears with my hands at the sudden loudness of a voice. I peered at the sudden figure, appearance blurred but I could tell by the neat bun atop her head and the glasses who it was.Miss Beatrice.What was I going to tell her now? “Ma'am, nothing, I'm just a bit tired that's all.”Even my voice couldn't make a coherent
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
