Diana

I knew where Elaria was going.

She was heading straight to the man she worshipped – Ronald. I’m sure she loved him more than I did…if I actually now do, but that’s some other talk. She was going to tell him everything.

I could see the excitement in her glistening eyes as she told me she, “…would be back shortly.”

I just let her leave and left to my room. If she was going to do what I thought she was, then I wasn’t sure I needed to be here any longer.

I left to my room and focused all my attention on the blue skies above. I longed and yearned for the freedom that seemed to continually just stretch in front of me.

It was unyielding, but I was relentless.

But something else gnawed at me, something that didn’t want to fade away quietly like the sunset.

That single word.

“Mate.” I knew what it meant…I just didn’t understand the context. Why was my wolf telling me, “mate”?

Why was that important?

I swallowed the lump forming in my throat and closed my eyes, willing my inner self to s

    EdricI wasn’t done.Not by a long shot.Diana had awakened something in me. I just hoped to the gods that I was able to control my lust and treat her gently.No matter how strong she seemed, she was really very fragile, especially when it came to things like these, matters that went beyond the physical need for strength.She was an egg at that moment, and I needed to be careful with her body.But that didn’t mean I wasn’t going to do to her what I desired…what I knew she desired as well.And so, I didn’t waste time, but I made sure not to rush things either. In a moment, I was unsheathed, and on her own accord, I let her explore my body.She was kind to me like she always was.Her hands moved along my chest, followed by her unsure, but hungry mouth. Her tongue kissed my chest in circles, and my nipples stung from her juicy suckles. It was only when I thought about it that I realized that she was doing to me, almost exactly what I had done to her.Fair.When she reached my abdomen, th

    DianaWhen the shock faded, anger took over.“He was a greedy bastard,” I paced the room, my jaw locked hard.“Diana…I still think you should be calm. You’ve been through a lot this few…”“Is!...not ‘was’. He is a greedy bastard!” I huffed. It’s not in the past or anything. He still literally just sold me to a man he thought would kill me, thinking I was useless…especially since I was a late shifter.A late shifter couldn’t possibly have the powers he was looking for, right?Oh, how bloody wrong he was.“Diana, please…”I shook my head. “This isn’t over. Not by a long shot.”I was fuming. My hands were shaking, itching for the chance to sink my closed fists into the skull of that man – Donald Crossfield. So much for being a father.He was a monster!‘I think you should listen to Edric,’ Rhena swooned, obviously enchanted by the man. I didn’t blame her. If I wasn’t a piping steam pot of wrath, I would’ve been swooning as well. His morning hair was packed lazily, and the mess created a

    Diana‘Two steps left…now press the stone with the crooked edge,’ her voice echoed gently inside my head.I obeyed, placing my palm against the worn slab in the wall. There was a low click, followed by the soft grind of stone shifting. The darkness that I saw from behind the stone was unnerving.‘Looks exciting. Let’s go in.’ her voice came without hesitation.“Go in?!” I didn’t know when I said it out loud.Edric used to do this a lot…as well as every other werewolf. Now, I understand the feeling of talking to your wolf.‘Yes. Why else are we here?’ she tsked impatiently. She seemed to enjoy gnarly, edgy adventures.I swallowed and stepped inside.The stairs were narrow and steep, spiraling downward into a space that hadn’t seen daylight in years. Maybe decades. My fingers trailed along the wall for balance as Rhena kept murmuring guidance, never louder than a whisper, but carrying enthusiasm for days.When I reached the bottom, a lantern flickered to life on its own, probably enc

    Diana“Well, so, you did know about this place,” I chuckled as he muttered the spell and the door appeared in front of them.“There’s so many things that I know that I don’t want you to,” he huffed so casually, as if he didn’t just confess that he had a whole archive of secrets.“See, now you’re making my brain itch,” I tsked.He smirked and opened the door.“I didn’t want you to see this place,” he said quietly.“Well, I found it,” I shrugged. “Now, you have to tell me what it is.”We descended in silence. The air below was colder and thicker… like it remembered all the things it had watched over the centuries. Everything was familiar. The same chills I got when I first came here came over me, but this time, I didn’t feel the hairs on my neck prickling.He was with me.“This was where I used to prepare the sacrifice,” Edric said, his voice flat. “Each cycle of hundred years made me more desperate. The more I lived, the madder I got. I…I wanted it to stop.”“And so, you were willing

    DianaI woke up with sunlight in my eyes and warmth wrapped around my body. For the briefest moment, I thought I was still in Arcadia, still locked in that room, still waiting to be dragged to another training session or another lie.But then I turned my head and saw the ceiling above Edric’s hall. Home. His scent was everywhere, warm and grounding.I was free.I should have smiled. I should’ve felt safe.But when I sat up, the first thing I saw was a folded blanket on the edge of the bed. And the second thing I saw was the deep, exhausted look in Edric’s eyes as he leaned against the doorway, arms folded like he’d been there a while.“There you are…I was wondering when you’d come to.”The air left my lungs.“What happened?”He stepped in, kneeling beside the bed. “Your energy… when you transformed… it hit him hard. Something inside him isn’t healing.”I didn’t even realize the tears had started to fall.“This is my fault.”“Diana…”“No,” I said quickly, pulling away. “I did this.

    EdricI’d seen many things in my cursed existence…empires crumble, kings on their knees, death standing at the threshold, not coming in unless invited.Death not coming in, even when being invited.Still, nothing prepared me for what my eyes just witnessed.Diana stood in the center of the altar chamber, surrounded by fading sparks of glowing smithereens, that cooled into brown and red floating bits. The air sizzled around her, charged like lightning waiting to strike again. Ronald was gone.I missed it.I blinked, and I missed it.And she stood there, chest heaving, shoulders trembling, eyes wide with fear and awe.My mouth went dry.‘Now, that’s my mate,’ Bane’s voice rang through my chest, deep and satisfied in a way I hadn’t heard in centuries.I blinked, shaken. What?‘Wait…wait…you didn’t know all this while? I thought you did.’My heart thudded painfully. I couldn’t move. Could barely think. She’s my mate? The scent that had been tugging at my senses… the pull that made me cro
