DIANE'S POV
I went up the stairs into the hallway and my eyes swept down the long hallway which had five rooms. Seven chandeliers hung on the ceiling and there were various types of exquisite artwork which included paintings and sculptures.
The first room was Alpha Denzel's room. The second one next to it was Luna Morgana's room, and the three other rooms were the guest rooms.
I headed to Alpha Denzel's room and took a deep breath when I got to the door to his room. For reasons I couldn't fathom, I was anxious.
My intuition kept telling me that something significant would happen with the Alpha today and I wondered what it could be.
I hesitated for some seconds before I rang the doorbell.
After a couple of minutes, the door swung open and Alpha Denzel and I made eye contact.
His lustrous Sapphire blue eyes looked into my dazzling angelic grey eyes and for a moment, I was held spellbound.
He always has this effect on me whenever he looks into my eyes especially when we are close to each other.
After a couple of seconds, my eyes swept over him.
His blonde hair was wet as well as his body which was dripping with water. It was obvious he just had a shower. He was naked except for a white towel wrapped around his waist.
For some seconds, I gazed at his square-shaped handsome face with attractive facial features before my eyes swept over his thick neck, huge biceps and triceps, huge muscular chest, six-pack abs, and down to his muscular legs and bare broad feet.
He was a huge tall man. I once asked him his height and he told me that he his six feet, four inches tall.
To my dismay, my naughty mind took control of my senses and I couldn't help imagining him cuddling and kissing me.
Suddenly, a pleasant erotic masculine scent drifted into my nostrils. It smelt like a mixture of sandalwood, rosewood, and musk.
As I was wondering why he was emitting the scent, he suddenly started sniffing.
He leaned forward towards me and sniffed my forehead. I also sniffed his face and caught a strong whiff of the pleasant erotic scent.
He raised his head and we gazed at each other in shock as we realized that we were fated mates.
For some seconds, we were silent and stared at each other in shock.
"Diane Logan, you smell like a mixture of jasmine, lavender, and vanilla. The most pleasant scent I have smelled in my entire life. The mixture of the scent with your feminine smell is driving me crazy," he said in a husky voice.
I was filled with joy that I could barely contain.
"Alpha Denzel, you smell so erotic and so masculine. I have never met a man that smells so good," I said in a whisper.
"Diane, I have always known that there is something special about you but it never crossed my mind that you could be my fated mate. Please, come inside," he said as he gently held my right hand, turned around, and headed to his bed gently pulling me.
As I entered the room, I used my left hand to shut the door.
My eyes swept across the large luxurious room. It was painted white and the floor had marble tiles. There were several state-of-the-art equipment which include a large plasma TV, a home theatre, a sound system, a split air conditioner, a fridge, and some other equipment I don't know their names.
There was a large bed with a purple-coloured duvet, a large white-coloured wardrobe, two sets of drawers, and a moderate-sized reading table with a laptop and some books on top of it.
There was a large window at the end of the room with gold curtains drawn slightly open and there were four white leather sofas against the wall. It was a lovely room befitting an Alpha.
As we got to the edge of the bed, he pulled me to his body and gazed at me.
"I have a birthday gift for you," he said with a husky voice.
"Wow...I love gifts," I said with a chuckle.
"Wait a minute, let me get it," he said and disengaged from me.
I watched him as he walked to the set of drawers. He opened the first drawer and brought out a small parcel with a red ribbon. He walked up to me and gave it to me.
"This is my gift to you on your eighteenth birthday. I hope you will like it," he said with a charming smile.
"I guess I will!" I said with glee.
"Come with me," he said as he held my hand gently and we walked to his bed.
"Sit down and open it," he ordered.
I sat down on the bed and he sat down beside me.
For some seconds, I looked at the square-shaped small parcel with a red ribbon tied around it.
"Why are you staring at it? Go ahead and open it," he said smiling.
I slowly loosened the ribbon and removed the wrapping paper to reveal a small black box.
I slowly opened the box as Alpha Denzel watched me steadily.
I gasped with surprise as I saw a diamond necklace with a pendant in the box.
"Oh, my word! It is so lovely," I whispered.
"I hope you like it," Alpha Denzel said smiling.
"I love it! I have never seen such a beautiful necklace in my entire life," I said as I picked up the necklace from the box and gazed at it in awe.
"I'm glad you love it," he said beaming with a smile.
"Can I wear it now?" I asked gazing at him.
"Of course, you can. It's yours," he said with a grin.
"Can you help me with it?" I asked.
"Of course but before you wear it, I want you to open the pendant," he said.
I was surprised and asked, "Is something in the pendant?"
"Open it and find out," he whispered.
I gazed at the lovely diamond pendant for some seconds and slowly opened it.
I gasped with surprise when I saw the inscription, 'From Alpha Denzel to Diane Logan.'
For some seconds, I stared at the inscription in awe as my eyes welled up with tears.
"This is so lovely. It is the best gift I have ever received. I couldn't have wished for anything better. This means so much to me. Words can't express my gratitude. Thank you so much," I said in an emotionally laden voice as tears streamed down my face.
"I'm elated that you love it. This was the reason I asked you to come to see me. I wanted to surprise you but I never knew fate had a bigger surprise for me and you. I guess it's a good gift for my fated mate," he said beaming with a smile.
"It's more than a good gift. It is a perfect gift. Please, help me to fasten the clasp," I whispered with an emotionally laden voice as I put the necklace around my neck and turned my face away from him.
He leaned over to me and grasped the necklace. He lifted my hair and gently fastened the clasp.
The necklace felt cool against my warm skin. I looked down at the pendant sparking and touched it. I then smiled as I turned to look at him.
"Wow...it looks lovely around your neck and sort of matches your grey eyes. The pendant is sparking just like your lovely eyes," he said with a charming smile.
Although I felt ecstatic about getting such a precious gift from him, I was troubled.
Now that it has turned out that Alpha Denzel is my fated mate, what will become of us considering that we have Luna Morgana to contend with?
Just then, I had that feeling of impending doom and I became worried and nervous.
My intuition is rarely wrong so, I thought of who could cause me trouble and a voice in my head said Luna Morgana.
Fear gripped my heart cos the last thing I wanted was to get into trouble with her. Getting into trouble with Luna Morgana is tantamount to getting into trouble with the Devil.
But why did fate give Alpha Denzel to me as my mate knowing that he is already mated to Luna Morgana?
Although I'm in love with Alpha Denzel, I never expected he would be my fated mate. Oh, Moon Goddess, what have you done?
DIANE'S POV Morgana was dumbfounded as she stared at me miserably. "Have you gone deaf? Why are you staring at me like a statue? Stop wasting my time! I repeat for the last time. Go to the house right now, pack your bags and leave the house! I give you an hour to get out! I will not hesitate to call the security men to take you back to prison where you belong if you don't leave my sight right now!" I shouted. "Please, don't call the security men. I don't want to go back to that dreadful place. The six months I was incarcerated was like hell. I don't want to experience it again," she said with fear in her eyes. I couldn't believe she was afraid to the extent she was begging me. "If you don't want to experience it again, then, go and pack your bags and leave," I said. "I would have left but I am not feeling well. I was sick throughout my stay in the prison and a doctor was often coming to treat me. You can see that I have lost some weight because I barely had appetite, so,
DIANE'S POVI took a deep breath to calm my nerves as Morgana glared at me."Morgana, I can't believe that you are still threatening me after my warning. I guess you think that I'm bluffing, huh?" I asked angrily."How many times will I tell you that I don't threaten people?""You just said that you will not rest until I die. Is that not indirectly a threat?" I asked. "You can call it whatever you want. The most important thing is that I have told you my mind," she said bluntly. For a moment, I was silent as I glared at her. "Morgana, I guess you are ready to go to prison again. In recent times, you have threatened me with death countless times even before you were incarcerated. To be honest with you, I thought the incarceration will change you cos I believed that you will regret everything you have done to me and Melody over the years and turn over a new leaf but it's obvious that I am wrong. Indeed a leopard never changes its spot. I strongly doubt if you will ever change," I sai
DIANE'S POVFor a moment, I watched Morgana as she groaned in pain on the floor."That serves you right!" I said glaring at her. "Diane, so, you have the guts to slap me?" she yelled as she rose to her feet and dusted her body."Morgana, I forbid you to ever address me by my name! I will spare you today but I won't the next time you address me by my name. I am giving you grace because you have just been released from prison, however, if you dare call me by my name again, I will punish you anyhow I deem fit. I never addressed you by your name throughout your reign as the Luna and I accorded you respect, so, now that I have taken over your position, you must also address me as a Luna and accord me respect. It's either you address me as Luna Diane or simply Luna. Do you understand?" She stared at me without uttering a word. "If I may ask, is it that you have forgotten that you are no longer a Luna or you have completely lost your senses when you were in prison?" I asked glari
DIANE'S POV Morgana was just staring at me and it seemed she didn't know what to say. "Stop wasting my time. I am waiting for your answer or are you now dumb?" I asked staring steadily at her. "I don't want to go back to prison," she said with a quiet tone. "If you don't want to go back to prison, then, be mindful of your words. I will not hesitate to throw you back in prison if you utter any derogatory word to me. I can imagine how difficult it is for you to accept the fact that I have taken your position but you have no choice but to accept it," I said with anger. "If I may ask, do you think it is fair for a woman to take another woman's mate?" she asked. "Well, to be honest with you, it is not fair..." I paused as she cut in. "I was expecting you to say it is fair but thank goodness you said it is not fair. That being said, another question I have for you is since you admitted that it is not fair for a woman to take another woman's mate, why did you do it to me. Y
DIANE'S POVAlpha Denzel and I were living blissfully and we regularly had sex. His libido was very high and mine was not. I wanted to always please him especially in bed so, I never refuse him sex anytime he ask even if I was not in the mood. During week days, Alpha Denzel was busy with his work and I was busy with my studies. Sometimes, he takes me to his office and explain things to me concerning the activities in the office and I was learning fast. He told me that he wants me to work with him as soon as I graduate and I just couldn't wait for the time to come. A month after I visited Morgana, she was released from prison. On that day, I was in the garden at the backyard. It was in the evening and the weather was cool. I was sitting on the lounge chair with my back against the chair. I was engrossed reading an interesting romantic novel. For a moment, my mind drifted to the conversation I had with Melody. Before I came to the backyard,
DIANE'S POVI woke up and realized I was on the bed alone. My eyes swept across the room expecting to see Alpha Denzel but he was not in the room. Where could he be?" I muttered.Just that moment, I heard the sound of the shower running and knew he was in the bathroom.I stared into space and a smile spread across my face as I recalled the lovemaking we had. I had mixed feelings concerning loosing my virginity. I felt kind of sad that I was no longer a virgin cos I cherished my virginity. At the same time, I was elated that I gave my virginity to a man I love with all my heart. A faint smile was on my face as I reflected on the sex. It is noteworthy to mention that I have always been scared whenever I thought of how my first time of having sex will be judging by the tales of the girls in my high school days who talked about their first sexual experience. Their tales had somewhat made me look forward to my first sexual experience and ironically I also dreaded it. However, contrary t
