Chapter Seventy-seven.Emily's pov.I groaned as I gritted my teeth against each other in pain, “Uh! That bitch! I'm going to get her back for this,” I cursed as I popped my hand back in place on my shoulders.I moved to hunt her down, my claws outstretched and my fangs were out. I was so angry I couldn't control my shift and I needed to shift. I just hoped it would come when I found her and ripped her to shreds. I caught her scent and I knew exactly where she was but I was obstructed by a maid who shivered in fear, “What do you want?” I growled out and she broke out in beads of sweat.She fumbled forwards before she found the right one.“Young miss, your father won't be able to see you this morning.” I growled, I remembered I was meant to visit my father before. Well, the good thing was he wasn't able to see me as I couldn't exactly see him in my state of anger and I knew he would reprimand me for my outburst as we lived in the palace.He would want me to be on my best behavior as
Chapter Seventy-eight.Alaric's pov.I held her hands up in the air, restricting her from going forward and causing more damage on Diana. She had done enough from what it looked like.Diana's face had been spared lightly as only a few injuries could be seen and a red hand print on both sides of her face, it must have happened before I got here.Her hands had taken most of the attack as they bled from the multiple scratches. Luckily, there was no life threatening damage.I sighed as I was furious, but I knew these weren't my own feelings, the mate bond was causing all this."That's enough Emily you've done enough damage," I stared at her while she continued to glare at me as she struggled and went after Diana once more but I wouldn't let her and held her hand in place.She glared between me to Diana and back to me before she gritted her teeth and wretched her hands out of my grip.I glanced at Diana who wobbled on her feet, her face stained with blood and her hair disheveled. I caught
Chapter Seventy-nine.Diana's povThe guards took me out of the princesses room, but I wasn't going to let them take me anywhere, for all I knew, they could have just been ordered to do away with me.I loosen myself from their grip and staggered lightly before balancing properly on my own two feets, “Thank you, but I can take care of myself from here,” I didn't bother glancing at them to gauge their expression when I made my way back to my room.I held my abdomen and winced in pain as I had been punched a few times. I knew this couldn't be avoided when I broke her arm and I didn't regret it. However, I did regret being weak and not able to stop her onslaught.I had shielded my face with my hands which made them take the brute force of her anger, they were both touched up from the scratchings and I was bleeding slightly enough but not enough to make me bleed to death.Oh my goodness! I hated Lycans. Their entire existence made me hate living if that was even possible. Emily's face flas
Chapter Eighty.Diana's pov.I was still furious about everything after I withdrew to the servants quarters. I couldn't even fall asleep that night, coupled with the pain from my injuries that I hadn't taken care of properly.I tossed and turned on my sheets multiple times as my mind was clouded, everything played in slow motion. I experienced feelings of hurt and anger side by side, the pain of losing someone, I knew I wasn't getting any sleep that night.All I could think of was how everything was so messed up, lives could be lost in seconds without thinking and how the Lycans didn't even care as they tossed us around like soured food.They played with our lives like it was nothing and it made me angry. When the prince had returned, I had thought he was a bit different, maybe it was the mate bond, but I knew better now as I suppressed the bond and saw prince Alaric for who he really was.A coward, just like the rest of them.When I turned once again, my heart must have jumped out of
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 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
