Hey guys, How have you been? I know I took a while writing this epilogue but that's only because I was reluctant to part with the characters. I have journeyed with and grown with Daciana and Arnou as I hope you have too. This book started in February this year and now, eight months later, it has come to an end. Thank you to my editor, for being the sweetest person alive, thank you to Daciana and most importantly, thank you to you readers. Your comments, likes, votes and even demands for updates, kept me going. In answer to @Julianna, Yes. This is the end of this book but it is by no means the end of Daciana's story. That will be continued in a sequel book about Herley. I'll keep you updated and let you know. Thank you all for the ride, it's been amazing. PS. I love you

I LOVE THE SMELL of the orchids in my room each morning, I love the smell of the oil massaged into my skin each day, but I particularly love the smell of the scent my maids put on me tonight. I just hope Eden loves it too.My maids Lea and Brie worked so hard to prepare me tonight. Tonight might just be the night, I can feel it.Its my three-year wedding anniversary today.And even though I haven't seen Eden all day, I certainly hope to surprise him tonight. He doesn't come home all the time at night.Sometimes he has to settle pack conflict so he stays out all night. But tommorow is the pack's annual gala, and he needs to show up with me.The Luna of the Blood Diamond pack.I ensure things run smoothly around here, and no one knows this- "well except for Eden and I"My wolf Eva responded."Shut up Eva"I do most of the paperwork and I make the alpha decisions. I basically run the pack, I do it to help Eden.Everyone thinks he runs the pack. And they all love him for it.So tonight h
I tried my best to sleep. I really did, but I couldn't. Not after what I'd seen. I felt so much pain, I almostchoked with it.I could still hear them, I mean its pretty difficult to fall asleep to the sound of your sister and husbandhaving sex.Sometime in the morning, the sounds stopped, and I heard Nikkini leave and Eden get into the shower.I remember all the times Eden has made me feel so bad. His coldness towards me in private after ourjoining. His insistence on private rooms and the celibacy he inposed on me. Well now I know why.I wonder how long this affair has been going on for. I was lost in my thoughts when a knock on the doorjarred me back to the present.I got up, wrapped my sheets around my body and went to open the door. I had barely unlocked thedoor, when Eden barged into my room."What the hell is this? Why are you not dressed?" He yelled angrily.I was too upset to reply him so I just kept mute."You haven't even done your makeup or taken a bath. A Luna with suc
I was in absolute shock. I wasn't shocked that Eden pushed me, I wasn't shocked because the strong armthat caught me belonged to Arnou lycan king and our special guest for today. No what truly took mybreath away was how majestic Arnou was.And I don't mean this in a casual sense, like this man could walk around without a crown and you wouldstill be able to tell that he's a man of considerable power.He was so goddamn tall, that was the first thing I noticed. Arnou was incredibly handsome with a strongcut jaw.He had his shoulder length black hair tied back by a strip of leather. He wore an expensive armani suitand he smelled amazing, like a mixture of wood, dark chocolate and spices.I removed his hand clamped around my waist and hurriedly thanked him. He just noddedexpressionlessly in return.By now almost everyone had followed the source of the commotion and was staring at us.Eden was staring speechlessly at Arnou, he quickly removed his arm from around Nikkini and she lostt
I pushed away Arnou’s hand from my waist and straightened up to lookat the mouth of the garden where Eden was standing. Apparently, it was already time to show the important guest the newgarden statue because standing closely behind Eden was Nikkini, theLunas, and some other esteemed guests. “What exactly are you trying to do? Are you trying to seduce the Lycanking?” Nikkini asked me in a very loud voice while gesturing to theother Lunas.As expected, she never loses a chance to embarrass or undermine me.“Nikkini shut up and stay out of this, you have no idea what’s going on.”I replied her as I took a step away from Arnou. “Oh please, stop acting so innocent. We all know you tricked AlphaEden into joining with you, now you’re trying to seduce his majestywith the same method. I mean how a married woman can be so shameless is beyond me. Evenif you have no regard for your marriage, at least have some regard foryour position as luna.” Nikkini outright attacked me with her w
Revised chapter 5Chapter fiveI was standing mute in the garden staring at Arnou like a statue. Because truth be told, I didn't think I heard what he said correctly.He couldn't possibly be asking me to marry him, moments after I got divorced. Stuff like that only happens in movies, and this was reality."I'm sorry what?... I don't believe I heard you correctly." I asked Arnou in disbelief."Yes you did. I just asked you to be the Lycan queen.Daciana, will you be my luna?." Arnou asked again with a slight chuckle.At this point, I was utterly bewildered. I mean why on earth would Arnou ask me to be his luna?I know that the Lycan kings pick their own mates. Because it's so rare for them to find their fated mates.But even if by some stroke of luck, Arnou had fallen hopelessly in love with me and wanted me for his luna.It didn't explain why he would propose bare moments after my marriage ended. And in front of all these people too."Why?" I asked, still in a state of shock."I'm sur
Revised chapter 6Chapter six I still remember all the pain and humiliation I received from him and Nikkini. I crossed my arms as I stood in the gap between my open door. "What do you want?" I asked in a harsh voice.He smiled widely at me. Gods, I can't remember the last time Eden directed a smile at me. Yet here he was smiling like he was the most pleasant person on the continent."I just wanted to apologize for everything that went down today." He said pleasantly.Eden has never apologized to me for all the things he put me through over the years. Now just because I could potentially become the Lycan's luna and technically outrank him, he's trying to suck up to me. I can't believe I ever loved such an unflattering person. Just the thought of it is ridiculous.He looked so ecstatic, I couldn't even help but wonder if he was affected by our divorce at all. I mean, he didn't even mind that I was going to be someone else's mate. He showed not even an ember of jealousy. Honestly it ki
Chapter 7I was so glad to see the gentle approval on Arnou’s face when I gave my reply. He seemed pleased that I was walking away from such a bad situation.“What time do you want to leave? Just say the word and it’s done” Arnou asked me. I looked at Eden and realized that I couldn’t stomach to be here, another minute. Not with Nikkini about to take over my chambers. I didn’t necessarily need to be the Lycan’s luna but I could at least use this opportunity to leave.“How about immediately?” I asked a bit tentatively scared that I would seem too eager.Eden looked at me, a look of wide panic on his face and yelled “No, if the Lycan leaves before the annual gala is over, I would become the mocking stock of all the other alphas.”“It’s a bit late for that don’t you think? I can assure you that you’re already being mocked for rejecting your luna in front of the others lunas.” I said with a mocking smirk at him.Arnou pointedly ignoring Eden, just looked relieved, and said to me.“I was ho

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
