Stepping out of the dungeon, Diana took off her bloody gloves and disposed of them right away. The flickering luminance of the torches pinned on the murky walls hid the cold glint of malice beneath Diana’s eyes. Before she faced Rakiz Lemoir, the killing intent reflected in her eyes was long gone. “How is it?” asked Diana. “The Pandora’s Box is indeed… worth those old fools’ obsession. Whoever owns this Pandora’s Box will have something to leverage on the other packs.” Rakiz Lemoir handed Diana the box. Accepting the inconspicuous wooden box, she stared at it as they trudged through the hallway of the dungeon. The echo of their footsteps was lost to the cries of agony and despair of the place where redemption was nothing but a pipe dream. “Rakiz, do you have a plan?” A sinister curve was carved at the corners of the strategist’s face. “What do you think, lass Diana?” Mirroring his smile, Diana muttered with much delight. “Then I want the Crimson Moon Pack in our team.” The two

Diana moved on instinct.She shifted as soon as she stood up, fully unaware of the disapproving gaze of the blue-eyed wolf behind her. Diana was too busy snarling and warning the fifty and more wolves that surrounded them. She even failed to remember that just a few minutes ago, she was crying about her pregnancy.The Diana right now was a Luna who would fight tooth and nail against invaders. Her instinct was to kill and to live no one alive. Her reddish eyes turned darker, resembling the blood that would soon be spilled around the cabin.‘Seymor!’ She called the beta through the mind link. ‘Where are you? The northern border of the territory has been breached! Are the town and the pack house alright?’The only consolation in Diana’s chaotic mind was the fact that she did not feel any painful tug in the connection she had with her pack members—it only meant one thing, no one was dead yet in the Blood Claws Pack.Immediately, Seymor’s voice rung inside her head.‘Reporting to Luna Dian

Diana leaned against the bathroom wall. The sound of the toilet flushing muted her ragged breathing as she tried her earnest to catch her breath. But no matter how she tried to, it was always futile. She could never get used to her worsening morning sickness.Sally, who was still holding a clean towel a few steps outside the opened bathroom, was glad that her Luna finally returned to the pack house after the repair and the return of Alpha Dylan. But she could not help but compare the time when her Luna was perfectly fine when she was still outside the pack house to this time when her Luna returned to her rightful residence yet her morning sickness surfaced with vengeance.“Luna…” Sally’s worried voice broke the silence of the stale air inside the dimly lit room. “S-Shall I go to the alpha and report your condition?”Only mates could shoulder the burden of one’s pain. Sally often wondered why every time her Luna would suffer her morning sickness, not a shadow of Alpha Dylan could be se

Everyone had left, even the omegas scarce themselves away immediately.Only Dylan and Diana remained in their seats. Diana held the glass in her right hand while her left hand held her belly, gaze fixated on the empty table. While Dylan twirled the vodka in his glass with his legs crossed together.Amid the silence between them, the growing tension reached to the point that it was suffocating for Diana.She was about to stand up when her vision darkened midway, prompting Diana to sway as she stood. Staggering, she closed her eyes and prepared for the pain that was about to hit her when a pair of firm arms held her.With her vision getting darker by the second, she could only look up at him—eyes filled with disbelief. Her lips were open, ready to ask a question when her mind went blank and everything shut down for Diana.“Diana!”A faint voice, calling for her in fear, was the last thing she heard before she succumbed to the darkness.There was only one thought in her mind—her unborn c

Diana woke up again. This time, she was able to open her eyes and move her fingers. Despite feeling out of sorts, she was glad she was free from the clutches of that ‘dark matter’ inside her.She immediately called for her wolf. ‘Teshin?’A soft whimper answered her call.Diana heaved a short sigh of relief. The corners of her lips tugged up.Looking around, Diana’s eyes wandered. This was when she noticed how she was not alone in the room! She was so engrossed with Teshin’s safety to the point that she muted her senses.Her pupils dilated for a fraction of a moment when she saw who was sitting next to the table beside her bed!“Talia? Why are you here?”Talia, who was now clad in an item of better clothing, shrugged. “The wolf king has changed drastically, I see.”Diana tried to sit on her own. When Talia stood to help her, she shook her head. “I really regretted not having your number. I would have—”“Run away to the Night Prowlers Pack?” Talia chuckled. It was a mocking one, not fo
