Chapter Eighty-One.

Diana's pov.

I stared at him confused, “There was nothing I could have done to save them,” I stuttered, feeling the guilt slowly increase in my heart and looking anywhere but at his eyes.

Their deaths were on me and he was right, “I should have just come clean, it was all my fault, I should have done something to save them, I should have,” I mumbled as I felt a lump in my throat.

The guilt had been eating me up and it was even worse when Daemon talked about it.

“Hey, hey that's not what I meant,” Daemon grabbed me by the chin gently and forced my head up to look at him.

He gazed into my eyes and I couldn't help but feel the love and affection that he held in them. This confused me, why would he love me if he barely knew me?

He wiped the stray tear that escaped and slipped down my cheeks.

“You are just like her,” he whispered as he gazed back and forth between my eyes before his gaze dropped to my lips, maybe it was just me that thought that it did though as he retr

    Chapter Eighty-Two. Diana's pov. I felt my life flash before my eyes as I tightly shot them and waited for the impact. I prayed to the moon goddess and maybe, this time I'll see her and be with her as well as my father. I had to let go this time, there was nothing for me, at least that was what I thought, I felt a prick at the corner of my eyes. My eyes were tightly shut as I waited for the impact, seconds passed but it never came. I cracked my eyelids which were too heavy for me as the tears welled up in them. My breathing was elevated as my entire body trembled in fear and shook, once again I was placed in a difficult situation with death. My fingers shook as I clasped them together and cried in fear, “Why… why… would you?” I couldn't even complete my sentence without stuttering anxiously. The hairs at the back of my neck stood on edge, the goosebumps spread across my skin, there was a constant ringing in my ears. Although, there seemed to be a bit of fear in his eyes, I didn

    Chapter Eighty-Three.Diana's pov.I stood back in shock as I watched as he skidded over the grass, tumbling a few times before he came to a stop on his stomach, my hands over my mouth, “What have I done?” My breath hitched in my throat.“Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, what did I do, what did I do,” I chanted as I rushed almost twenty feets to check up on Daemon.I sighed heavily, he was still breathing, the way he had tumbled, one would think he had snapped his neck or something, He was still breathing which eased my relief a bit, it was just one punch, how could he have flown so far away.Daemon groaned before he flipped himself onto his back. His arm crossed over him as he held it to his chest. I prayed it wasn't broken, “You chose that moment to use your powers huh?” He groaned once more as he said.I watched as his eyes shut tightly and I thought of how much pain he just had been feeling, that was quite a fall if I did say so myself.“Are you okay? I didn't mean to, I'm so

    Chapter Eighty-Four.Diana's pov.As I walked the silent night of the palace grounds, I wondered why the guards weren't roaming. I guess Daemon might have had something to do with it.His existence is such a mystery, what exactly was he? I asked myself as I've never heard of any species with wings before.He must be a lot stronger than a lycan, that I knew from experience. His eyes were so much different when he had shifted but they looked so familiar, like I had seen them before.I had so many questions for him and I couldn't wait to see him again but then, I didn't know how to contact him, he had been the one to find me. I groaned inwardly, now I had to wait for whenever he decided to show up.I made my way silently to my ward but my kind wasn't the same, it walked through so many things that had happened and that didn't have an explanation.I had powers all this time, how come I didn't know, does this mean I have a wolf too? No, I doubt that, if I did have a wolf, it should have sh

    Chapter Eighty-Five.Alaric's pov:I haven't stopped thinking about what transpired between Emily and Diana, I didn't know what to do either about it.On one hand, I needed to be with Emily, as an agreement had already been reached. I was meant to be her mate and take her side on everything. On the other hand, I couldn't get over Diana. Everything about her made me go crazy and all I want to do is protect her.I groaned in frustration as I made my way to the conference room. The guard bowed before pushing the double doors and letting me through.The conference room was a place where decisions were taken with the interest of the lycan community, problems were brought up and the king provided solutions to them.It was a round table with most of the ministers present, and the king was seated at the head. I didn't feel the need to sit as I moved over to a nearby pillar and leaned on it away from their piercing gazes.The meeting began.“There have been many disturbances in the lower citie

    Chapter Eighty-six.Alaric's pov.After the meeting, I decided that I needed to clear my head. Things were getting heated up and if I wanted to do anything about it, I needed to be at least in the right state of mind.There was so much that needed to be done, with all these incidents and side shows, the mating celebration was on hold, then there was Emily's pregnancy which still needed to be announced as well as her crowning ceremony.The uprising coming up now was only more of a problem that needed a solution before it got out of hand.“Derick, please arrange for my horse, I'll be going for a ride,” I asked my personal guard who immediately bowed and withdrew.On my way outside the palace, there were a few ministers who haven't exited the palace grounds yet, which was uncalled for as the meeting was adjourned a few hours ago. Save for minister Hughes who had a reason to stay as his daughter lived in the palace, the others, Minister Thompson and Minister Danver didn't have any other

    Chapter Eighty-seven.Diana's pov.It was dinner time with the royal family and I was assigned by Miss Beatrice to attend and serve.Not my usual take on things but who was I? Oh wait, I was the chosen one. I pressed my lips firmly against each other to hold in a giggle.It's been almost a week since I had found out that I was someone important, maybe too important but still, the idea of having the power to change things and make the people seated in the room pay for what they have done fueled me to be serving them that evening.I wanted to see for myself, to observe each and everyone of them.Although I haven't started my training yet, everyday I had waited for Daemon to come for me but everyday I was disappointed, and so I decided that after the dinner I was going to find him instead.In my mind, I thought maybe he had changed his mind, but then I remembered that I haven't even asked him to train me yet, only because I haven't seen him since the night he had tried to kill me.A lot

  • THE TRUE WOLF BLOODS   Who Is He?

    Chapter Eighty-Eight.Diana's pov.I stared up at his eyes that repeatedly switched colors, I knew he was struggling to not go feral.I've heard of how possessive mates get, especially the males and their egos. They have the tendency to hold what is theirs tightly and not let go.Witnessing this first hand as he struggled to keep his emotions in check showed me how much of the bond that was still present even after such a long time of rejection.His jaws ticked as his nose flared occasionally, his fists balled as he tried to level his breathing when he questioned slowly again, “Who… is he… Diana?”I would have chilled at the jealous look in his eyes but this was a much rather serious situation, and I was also getting pissed off the more I stood before him.I remained silent as I didn't want to respond to his questions, this just seemed to set him off wrongly, “I’m only going to ask this one more time, who is he?” At first, I didn't dare to stare directly into his eyes but I didn't c

    Chapter Eighty-Nine.Alaric's pov.I watched as she walked away seething in anger.How dare she think we were the same when we weren't? She had no right to talk about me being with someone else. I was the crowned prince, soon to be king!I even offered for her to be my mistress and she declined. I trembled in anger, I could still perceive the stench that surrounded her which repulsed me.I stormed away furiously and went to my chambers. There was a gathering tomorrow and I needed all the strength I could get, but that was impossible as my mind couldn't get over Diana.I groaned in frustration, grabbing the sides of my hair and pulling at them. I layed on my back on the bed while facing the canopy of my bed.Emily stirred from beside me before placing her hands on my bare chest. She woke up with a sleepy look in her eyes as she stared at me in confusion and worried, “What's wrong? You've been tossing and turning all night,” she questioned.I stared at her hand that rested on my chest b

    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

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

  • THE TRUE WOLF BLOODS   290. Snapped Neck

    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

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

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
