Aiden
KING AIDEN HAD no idea what was more surprising… The fact that Diana, the most serious, and terrifying person that he’s ever met besides himself and his father, was paying attention to the emotions which were reflected in his eyes.
Or the fact that they were comfortable enough around each other now to go on a first-name basis.
Nonetheless, he held no regrets after discarding his power and authorised her to call him Aiden instead of King Aiden, or Your Highness.
Besides, it was only fair considering that Diana was a descendant of the royal bloodline which would make them good acquaintances.
“How are things at the lab?” he questioned, wondering if the scientists were making progress with finding a way to stop the zombies.
“When we went down there, they still didn’t have a solution. But Rudolph came up with
DIANARUDOLPH BROKE THE good news of the testing to Diana the next morning. It took everything in her to keep her mind from wandering to the events of the previous day.A moment of weakness would have caused the greatest mistake of her life and she swore to herself that she would never let that happen again. With that thought in mind, she left the room, ready to avoid the King as much as possible.Diana had reached the lab just in time to watch the new weapon in action. During the night, the weapons master of the kingdom had prepared a special gun with the solution they called Zombie Killer.Not the best but it was all they could come up with at that time.The zombie was chained to the wall and looked like it had been through Hell and back. It kept on snarling and hissing at anyone and everyone. Being so close up with the zombie brought up memories she wis
DianaAFTER COMING TO a conclusion on what type of weapons would be suitable to stop the zombies, Diana had suggested that vervain and silver bombs, along with guns and bows and arrows would be the best possible option.Aiden wasted no time in going with her idea.She finally left the lab the moment the weapons specialists demanded space, so they could start designing the weapons. Not that she minded, considering she had other plans for the day anyway.Brushing away the dried leaves, Diana fell to her knees in between the two stone graves which formed the shape of wolves.Rudolph and Robin watched from a distance, giving their friend privacy to mourn the loss of her parents on their death anniversary. Though they’ve been dead for years, no pain could come as close to what the loss of her parents made her feel.Except for wh
DianaSOME STORIES DO not start from the beginning. Stories like Diana's were just thrown into the middle.And like most stories, hers had a happy beginning, but her story started when everything went down. There were three sides to her; the leader, the child who never grew up, and the damaged version.For three years, she had strived to bury the last two parts where they could never surface, but after her last nightmare, the damaged version of her awakened.For the next week, Diana worked herself to the bone, preparing for the attack they planned to launch on the zombies in the next two weeks. She lived on two hours of sleep a day, and sometimes, she got none.She would wake up in cold sweat every night when she did manage to sleep, plagued with the same damaging nightmare. It seemed like something or; someone was trying to tell her something, but she cou
DianaTHERE WAS SOMETHING about guilt, which made a person feel as if their mind was being eaten alive. It felt like an unbearable weight laid on their chest that was just too hard to lift.The disappointment would play tricks on their minds and when it took full control of their subconscious, they'd be dying from the need to confess their wrongs.That was exactly what Diana was feeling, as she fell to her knees in the loneliness of the green field, and sobbed as if there was no tomorrow.She had come to know that there were many different forms of guilt, but only a few of them were endured by her.Existential guilt; she had suffered from it when her family and friends were murdered right before her eyes, and she was the only person who made it out of that tragic event alive.Natural guilt; even though she was never the one to feel gui
DianaTHE MOST DIFFICULT thing for Diana to do was pretend. To pretend she was fine when she was in a constant struggle to shut down and forget everything.The struggle was tiring and all she wanted was for someone to share the burden with her… but could she be that selfish to doom someone else?The sight of a bloodied Robin with bites and slashes all over him was the last push that tipped her over the edge. Immediately she was overwhelmed with so much anger, even more than she could bear.Anger at Doctor Young, at the humans and worst of all, anger at herself. The last one instantly quenched the anger, replacing it with guilt which worsened as Aiden stormed out of the first living room on seeing her."Don't blame yourself, Diana, there was no way you could have known they'd attack so soon," Robin croaked, wincing shortly after.
Aiden“I AM THE crown, Aiden.”He replayed Diana’s words in his head as if it was something he had to know to pass a test. At that moment, he felt as if that’s what the entire situation was… nothing but an assessment to understand the capability of his knowledge.He had just watched hundreds of his people fall in a fight against the zombies, and it was all for a crown he had never seen before… or so he had thought, before finding out that the crown of omnipotence had been living under his roof.For centuries, there was a wall wedged between the supernaturals to retrieve the ancient relic.Through their continuous fighting spirit and determination, rumour had it that the artifact was obtained by the werewolves, and had remained in their possession for over two hundred years.Even though he&rsq
DianaFOR A LONG time, Diana had never felt so light. It was true what people said that a problem shared is a problem half solved. She knew she had a long way to go, but speaking was a huge leap from where she used to be.Since all of the surviving vampires had relocated to the Moonshine pack, they couldn't access the weapons they made with the 'Zombie Killer' and other weapons.They still hadn't changed the name much to Rudolph's annoyance. He hated the name and made sure the hatred showed whenever it was mentioned.Two days after her confession to Aiden, Diana decided to come clean with everything she had and knew. There was no more time, especially not after what she saw the previous night."What did you want to show us, Diana?" Aiden asked as they followed her down the narrow passageway."You'll see," that was her simpl
AidenTHE MOST BEAUTIFUL things are the most deadly and the most wanted things are the most difficult to get. All his life, he had always wanted more… more than he was ever given and more than he achieved.As an overachiever, it wasn't difficult for him to reach the top of the food chain once he was given the right platform; the throne.Seeing the wonder in front of him, Aiden only had thoughts of how much he wanted to have and possess. No matter how abominable and unheard of his desire was, Aiden wanted nothing more.The discovery of what lay underneath the pale skin of the goddess-like Shewolf only stood to add to the already burning desire that kept on brewing in him since the first time he set his stormy grey eyes on her.The sight before him was astounding. Her ocean-blue fur was thick and fluffy but what stood out more was her limbs whic
