Chapter 159Arnou’s POVDead?!“Alisa, I’m confused. What do you mean Eden is dead? And how do you know that?” I asked in confusion as I began to realize that I hadn’t seen Edn after the battle.“I know that because I killed the man that killed him,” Alisa said as she burst into tears.“He was just trying to help us and he killed him,” She muttered incoherently between hiccups.This is bad news. Nikkini won’t like this at all. She’s almost ready to pop at any moment and her husband is dead.“This is terrible. Who else knows about this?” I asked Alisa softly as I shushed her and wiped her tears with my palm.“Stop that. Your hands are dirty,” She protested softly.“Yeah, right. Sorry,” I apologized with a slight smile. “Just you, Daciana, and Maliya,” Alisa responded to my previous question. I gave her a nod. Someone had to break the news to Nikkini and it would if better if Daciana could do it herself.“Where’s his body? I need to send guards to retrieve it,”“At the back of the pa
Chapter 160Arnou’s POVI sat quietly beside Daciana’s bed with silent tears of gratitude dropping from the sides of my eyes. It was almost noon and I still hadn’t gotten over the joy that the physicians’ news gave me.Pregnant! We’re going to have children!I chuckled slightly as a vague image of Daciana holding one child on her hip and running after the other one flashed in my head. She had such a beautiful soul she would make the best mother.She wanted this so badly and it made me happy that I had been able to give her something her heart desired. Maybe now she’ll fully heal from the pain of losing Eva.And I was resolved to be the best father possible. Granted, I was terrified. I mean my father wasn’t exactly a role model for me to emulate but I figured I was safe if I did the opposite of what he did.The physician had been incredibly weird about announcing Daciana’s pregnancy because of tradition. Someone, I don't know who, but one of my ancestors had passed a law that prevented
Chapter 161Arnou’s POV“Lycan. Lycan, can you hear me?” The physician asked in panic as I staggered backward and fell into a sofa in Daciana’s sitting area.“I-we got married seven months ago,” I whispered in disbelief.“I am sorry Lycan but she has no recollection of your wedding and as such believes she is married to the Alpha of the blood diamond pack,” He responded.“How did she lose her memory? Can we get them back?”I asked hopefully as I got to my feet and began to question the physician,”“How she lost her memory, I cannot be certain but such occurrences are usually as a result of intense trauma to the brain. In her case, I’m inclined to believe it’s repeated trauma. She has a sore swelling at the back of her head like it was banged against a hard surface and she didn’t lose her memories right after the injury. She was still conscious enough to defend us against the impending wolves so I’m forced to conclude that when she fell and hit her head again, that was when it occurre
Chapter 162Daciana’s POVI paced around the strange room with Brie watching me nervously. She had reason to worry, I had kind of gone crazy this morning but when I woke up that creepy man kept trying to touch me inappropriately.It’s crazy to think that I had no recollection of the last two months of my life but apparently, time had blipped for me when I hit my head.The evidence was there, as some kind of lump at the back of m head, and yet it was hard for me to conceive the reality I found myself.It wasn’t all bad though, for some reason Triss is here as well and Papa came to see me.I squealed in delight and hugged myself tightly.“Brie, Is papa really here to see me?” I asked her excitedly.She seemed disgruntled about something but gave me a firm nod. It made me so happy. He hadn’t even been present at my wedding. His absence had affected Eden so severely that we couldn’t even enjoy our wedding night.“Yes high Luna, he really came to see you,” She responded with an amused smi
Chapter 163Nikkini groaned and passed out into deep sleep. That was something our bodies did after birth to heal. With a sigh I held the new baby to my bosom and wondered what the hell was going on. I know I’m here on an ambassadorial mission and Triss too. But we’re both Lunas.But Nikkini? Is she a Luna? Who did she get married to?“Can someone give me an appropriate response that’ll stop me from running mad? Who is the father of this child?” I asked sharply as I turned around to stare at the people staring at me with shock on their faces.“Well?” I hissed impatiently.“I don’t see how this concerns you. It really is none of your business. Hand the baby over and go back to your room,” Mr Creep ordered as he came closer and stretched out his arm for me to place the newest member of my family.Who exactly did he think he was? Always talking with authority! So annoying!“It concerns me because unlike you, this baby is actually related to me. Or are you the father?” I asked him with r
Chapter 164Daciana’s PovI paused open mouthed in embarrassment as the beautiful lady I had seen earlier in Nikkini’s room stepped forward with a smile on her face.“I’m Maliya,” She said with a nice smile as she stretched her hand out to me.“I’m sorry about the fuss but your husband has been overly familiar and inappropriate with me,” I explained as I shook her hand lightly.“Darling, didn’t you tell her?” The girl chuckled lightly as she brushed a palm across his arm lightly.I watched the motion tight-lipped unsure why it made me feel funny.“I’m so sorry if you feel that way, Luna. He was only concerned for your well-being. You see, before your accident, the both of you were the best of friends,” She explained with a pleasant smile.Friends? It must be awful and awkward for him that I have no recollection of him. No wonder he was miffed about me screaming for him to leave the room.A light blush stained my cheeks as I ducked my head in light embarrassment.“I really had no idea.
CHAPTER 165Daciana’s Pov“Yeah um, she’s not here,” He replied with a tight smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes.“She’s not here as in she’s not in the palace or she’s not here as in she’s not in the Lycan territory,” I asked him in confusion.“She didn’t come with you. Each Luna was only allowed one maid and you chose Brie,” He responded.Oh that makes sense. Brie’s older and more responsible.“Let’s go outside. We need to see the pack houses,” He said softly as he led me away from the tent.Outside the palace on the grounds, I watched as maids worked to scrub the floor from what I’m guessing was blood from war.If they need this many people to clean up, there must have been a lot of casualties.“And the remains? The fallen, where are they being laid to rest,” I asked him as we walked slowly across the grounds.“We’re currently bliuding a pyre large enough to fit them all. The main issue is who will conduct the ceremony,” He said gravely.“What do you mean? Evey pack has an elder
Chapter 166Daciana’s PovI held my head and blinked furiously as I tried to make out the scene in front of me.The Lycan's arms were around my waist holding me upright while Alisa shook me frantically.“Daciana, wake up! Wake up!” Alisa said worriedly as she shook me.“I I’m awake,” I moaned softly as I pushed away the Lycan’s palm and stood myself.‘Oh, thank the goddess. You swooned and had us worried. Are you okay?” Alisa asked worriedly.I brushed her concerns off and turned to face the Lycan.“Who is Neha?” I asked shakily.He shared a look with Alisa and turned back to me with worry written all over his face.“Where did you hear that name? What’s going on/’ He asked softly.“I I had a flashback ad that name was ringing in my head. Who’s Neha?” I asked as I looked from Alisa to the Lycan, hoping that one of them could provide an answer to m question.“Daciana, why don’t you-[“ Alisa started to say when the Lycan cut her short.“The high Luna. My wife’s real name is Neha,” He rep

Careful! Don’t fall!” Aunty Mardris called out behind me. “I won't!” I yelled b
EPILOGUE Narrator’s POV The woman floated around the ballroom in the arms of her beloved and surrounded by her pack members. Her subjects for she was their sovereign and their High Luna. Her heartbeat thundered with that of her husband. He was happy, she could feel it. So why wasn’t she content? Why did a niggling feeling seem to burrow away at the back of her mind? “My love? Are you okay?” The lycan asked as he focused his attention on her. “Yes, Just. I need some air. Please walk with me,” Daciana requested as she dropped her arm from Arnou’s shoulder and held on to his arm. . “Of course,” Arnou replied. No questions asked. Together, they walked out of the ballroom, their absence causing slight worry in a red-haired girl and her friend. “Do you feel a bit better now?” Arnou asked her as they walked down the palace hallway hand in hand. “Hmm. It’s just, we haven’t had this much peace and happiness in so long. Am I crazy, if I feel like it’s not permanent?” A slight frown
Chapter 224Maliya’s POVA scream tore from my throat as I watched what was supposed to be Herley’s execution turn into the High Luna’s suicide.I knew she wanted to die, but it was supposed to be from bloodlust. She was supposed to have some time to name her babies and hold and say goodbyes and…and…I pushed a trembling Alisa from me blindly as I crawled toward the burning figure in the middle of the dungeon.She didn’t even scream!Loud roars of anger resounded throughout the room as the Lycan sped into the dungeon and went straight for his burning wife.How could she do this?She burned brightly, with the flames so hurt that they charred my skin as I crawled towards her.As I screamed, cried, and sobbed, I vaguely registered someone wrapping their arms around my waist to keep me from reaching her.They didn’t have much success with the Lycan as he ran headfirst into the fire like it was water and held onto his burning bride.As I cried, I realized where the air should have been fil
Chapter 223Narrator’s POVThe night was dark and the prison cell was cold yet the girl didn’t shiver or whimper. She stood with her arms chains and a resigned look on her face.The goddess knows this time she tried. She had looked on as everyone dropped to their knees and begged her. And even though she had dreamt, for months of the day they would all recognize that they wronged her, In that moment, all she felt was genuine worry that her best efforts wouldn’t be enough.It seems almost ironic, as she had been a proud, confidant general, Second only to the lycan and primed to be his high Luna. But living about those dreadful humans for months would do that to anyone. They would grate at you until all your confidence faded away.She knew the golden-haired woman wouldn’t die. She had taken measures against that a while ago but looking into the fearful faces of what had once been her family, Herley decided to scrape together what remains of confidence she had left and do her best.And i
Chapter 222Daciana’s POVI stood in silence as I watched Arnou open my bedroom door weakly.The utter fear and grief on his face when I had agreed to end out marriage kept on replaying in my mind but I shook my head to clear my thoughts.Arnou stepped out into the sitting area and I followed closely behind him.The moment we came out, Maliya pushed herself out of Alisa’s arms and stood up with a fearful look on her face.“Well? What do we do now?” Alisa asked softly as she stood up and threaded her fingers with Maliyas.It gave me great joy to see that they had reconciled.“Nothing. We do nothing but wait fir it all to be over and I take this chance to say goodbye,” I replied her before Arnou could open his mouth to speak.He clenched his hands by his side in anger and I could feel the waves if his emotions and his hurt flooding through me.“But your children? Daciana reconsider this. Maybe there’s something we can do or-“ Danica said with a frown on her face.I walked up to her and
Chapter 221Daciana’s POVI gasped as Triss yelled and everyone in the room turned to stare at me.Maliya blinked confused but I could already sense the animosity pouring from her at Triss’s announcement as she listened and didn’t hear any heart beating in my chest.“EVERYONE OUT!” Arnou growled suddenly as he pointed at the door.He was afraid. That much I could feel, but he was also incredibly relieved and that brought me small peace.My legs shook as I pulled myself to a seating position and Triss snarled at Arnou angrily.“I left just for a few minutes. What did you do? Where’s Daciana? Why is that thing in her body? She demanded angrily as her eyes flitted to me for a quick second.Hurt racked my body as tears pricked the back of my eyes and I started to speak. To tell Triss something. Anything that would make her know, I wasn’t some strange enemy but Arnou beat me to it.“I SAID LEAVE!” He yelled angrily as the doors of my bedroom swung open and several palace guards rushed in.
Chapter 220Daciana’s POVIce flooded through my veins as I gave into the darkness. I was gone, drifting afloat in the darkness.Was this how Eva had felt? Was this how she had lived for months? Silenced and immune to the world.“Yes. Someone similar, except I was alone, but you’re not. I’m here with you, and together we’re stronger,” Eva’s soothing voice flooded my brain, and I smiled in ecstasy.Perhaps this place, this dark cocoon, was better after all.The sweet feeling of peace that lingered in my limbs, the love between my wolf and me We were made for this, just the two of us. No one else mattered.“Yes. We are,” I whispered back as a content smile flooded my lips. This place was perfect. Paradise.None of the suffering above could touch us here. Here we were happy and here we would remain-“NO!” The sharp scream of someone cut through my peace, and I blinked violently, disturbed.That wasn’t my wolf! Who was that, and why were they disturbing our peace? Were they trying to take
Chapter 219Maliya’s PovI groaned weakly as I blinked open my eyelids.“What’s going on?” I croaked to no one in particular.“Here, have some water,” A voice said calmly from my bedside.I sat up slowly and stared at Alisa in shock.She had dark circles under her eyes and looked extremely tired but apart from that, I could almost not tell she had been battling a magic wielding, Vampiric child just hours ago.Wait! What time is it?The last time I had seen Alisa, she had been battling Star by herself while Prince Xavier faced off some other Vampire.The moment Verena died and told me to get Herley for the high Luna, I knew I had to leave before the Vampires finished off Alisa and Xavier and came for me too.I crawled to their horses that they had left unattended, and this one is surprisingly because I have no idea how I achieved such a feat but I dragged my naked and poisoned ass up one horse and held on as hard as I could while the horse raced away.The goddess surely had a hand in m
Chapter 218Arnou’s PovPower surged through me. Expanding as the warmth of the fire licked at my fingers greedily. For a moment, I feared I was drawing on Daciana’s power too much, and I retracted my hand.It was unmarred, and when I turned my head around to stare at my wife on the bed, she lay unmoving, like the power draw hadn’t affected her at all.I already knew she was powerful, but it just put into perspective just how powerful she is.More confident than the first time, I put my hand into the flame again as the familiar feeling of warmth licked at my fingers. The fire danced like it was alive, and it was relatively easy for me to pluck a piece, almost like breaking off a branch of a tree.I withdrew my hand from the fire, and with the little piece swimming in my palm like mercury, I poured it into the tube and stood to my feet.Everyone in the room, including Herley, watched in surprise. It was almost like she hadn’t expected me to be able to do it.“You stuck your hand into f
