Chapter 28.“ Please wake up Princess,” Howard said with a broken tone. He looked like he attempted to knock on the gates of hell but survived. His beard had grown out since he refused to shave for the past few weeks Diana had been in a coma. He refused to move from one spot, he looked like shit and felt like shit too.He knew it was his fault that she was in that condition but he doesn't blame himself a bit. He knew when she woke up, she would be fully his and that made him oddly satisfied. But what bothered him was the purplish color the bruise was spotting, instead of turning to a beautiful mark that would carry his initials and stay majestically on her neck, it looked like an infected bite mark. Even with all the medications the pack hospital already administered to her, the wound refused to heal and it just stood there like an ugly curse mark. The almost invisible golden rune on her neck was gone too.“ You should at least take a bath, you stink” Brittany cleared her throat as s
Chapter 29.“ Peaches, I understand how you feel but Howard remains your mate. You will have to forgive him” He said with enough threat laced in his words.“ What if I don't?” she grinned.“ Diana” He warned calling her by her name for the first time.“ You don't understand. Tell him get out first, I don't want to see him” She switched her expression back to the pitiful one. Leonard nodded and faced his Beta.“ Leave!” He asked the man.“ But Alpha...”“ I won't say it again” The Alpha command rolled off him in waves and the Beta showed him neck in submission before storming out of the room. Diana laughed inwardly at this, she wished that she could drive a wedge between them more but she knew that was practically impossible since both men are partners in crime. Even though Howard disagrees with her brother sometimes, he always obeys him anyway like a lost puppy. She saw and confirmed everything from the glimpse of her memories that Decanal showed her. She almost pitied Howard but dee
Chapter 30.“In case of next time. Just say “Come on in Darryl,” Her perfect man said with a dashing smile to her. She turned around and saw him sitting on a tree casually but with a smile that popped out his dimples, he was dressed in a black T-shirt that showed off all his ripping muscles on matching black trousers which made him look the king of the night he was. Diana's mouth was wide open and almost drooled at the sight of her mate.He had been there for a while, it was only when she invited him in that the magical barrier lifted and they became visible to each other. She couldn't move herself from the spot, She stood there with every functioning cell of her brain floating away from her. She hadn't expected his mere presence to rile up her insides so much.“ Come on little one, you shouldn't be so shocked,” Darryl said jumping down from the tree with an amused smile, his electric blue eyes stared deep into her soul and she wanted nothing but to get lost inside the sea of emotio
Chapter 31.Diana couldn't stop her tears as she stared at Darryl's retreating figure. She didn't want him to go, she wanted to be with him longer but they would only notice her absence in the pack if she stayed too long at the mansion so he had brought her back to the pack lands and left with a series of kisses on her entire faces so wouldn't miss him so much.He stopped abruptly before turning around once again, he was in front of her placing another one of his last kisses on her lips. She sniffled and wiped her tears with the hand of his sleeves.“ Ah, I almost forgot. My mate is too distracting” He joked and she smiled at him waiting for what he had to say. He brought his left hand to his mouth, his fangs were out already and his eyes switched to the normal haunting red that Diana was used to seeing in her dream. He bit down on his hand which started bleeding and offered it to her mouth.“ Drink my blood, it will mask both my scent and presence away from your body. I hate to do t
Chapter 32.“ Deal” She squeaked after squeezing her fist so much she drew blood from her palm. She would do it, she would follow his conditions with great loyalty but she wouldn't be able to promise him that there won't be punishments for his actions later.“ Good girl,” He said happily brushing a strand of her hair behind her ear. She couldn't help the disgust that crawled over her body at the contact of his hands on her face. He leaned in for a kiss but she moved her head out of the way. He laughed.“ I will leave you to your thoughts. After all, you will soon be all over me once we share the soul potion” He said brushing his fingers on her cheeks. She wished he would just remove his filthy hands from her body.Grabbing her hands, he dragged her towards the pack house.“ Let me go!” She yelled at him when her foot came in contact with a sharp stone, even her boot couldn't prevent the stone from penetrating her skin. It hurt but she ignored the pain giving him a death glare that co
Chapter 33.Darryl's laughter echoed in her mind at Howard's words. He was pissed but he found the stupid Beta funny. Well, it was meant to be so a d Darryl hoped that he remained stupid. Diana wanted to laugh along with him but she remembered that she was currently staging an act and laughing would probably give her out since Howard could sense every little thing, instead she furrowed her eyebrows as she looked at him with a determined expression.“ I will remember his name and I will remember the rest of my memories so you and my brother will pay for this I promise!”He laughed at her courage and leaned towards her again as if he wanted to kiss her but he didn't, instead, he whispered to her with a mock shudder.“ Oh, I'm so scared!”“You must think you are still Decanal. You are just a weak wolfless female, you cannot even protect yourself. You should be a good girl and accept my love that I'm so willing to give you instead of making your brother and I, your enemy” Brushing a loose
Chapter 34.The dark cold cell holding Kiona suddenly grew colder as Darryl's footsteps echoed loudly in the dungeon. He could have just swift himself to the kiona's cell using his ability but he decided to walk instead to rile up her anxiety. The effect of Hawthorne activated in response to his close complicity.“ Hello, there Kiona” His voice boomed and the weak witch stirred from her position, her body had become numb and used to the pain from the Hawthorne necklace but when he added a bracelet to it the other day, the pain seemed to tear her up from the insides. She opened her mouth to speak but she could only spit out blood in response.“ Save your words I don't need it, I'm here to reward you,” The Vampire king said opening the door of the cell, the Hawthorne became brighter as he moved closer to her, She could only close her eyes because begging for death was out of the question. He hummed lowly as he removed the necklace from her neck leaving the bracelet.Relief surged throu
Chapter 35.After the Alpha king left, Maurice stepped out of the shadows and informed the king that the elders were in the inner courtroom. The elders were the leaders of each vampire clan around the globe. They were sixteen in number and they each have more than hundreds of vampires under them living in shadows all over the world. The elders were like Alphas of the werewolf community but they have a direct connection with the king through blood links.The sixteen of them always gathered at the palace of their king, once a year but sometimes more than that In case of emergencies and that emergency only meant a war breakout. The meetings were usually in the form of ceremonial balls with a full party at the palace of the vampire king but ever since his mate went missing three years ago, the meetings were just held at his secret courtroom. And since the world of the supernatural has been more than peaceful for years, they only attend the meeting once a year and that meeting day happene
