DIANA'S POV "Do you realize how unsafe and abused your face is right now? You let the Luna talk down on you and the prince have $ex with you in the worst possible ways, aborting children for him and you still claim to love him. How cheaper can you be?" I asked angrily and this seemed to have provoked her really well. "I know how useless and shameless I have become in this palace. I know I shouldn't be called a human but I still don't want to hear it from you! I am a helpless slave forever owned by the Luna Dowager. So what choice do I have rather than do what she and her son want? I have no regrets working for the Luna and her son, all I want is an apology from Gray! We were supposed to be lovers but his aggressive attitude took the better of him. It was my fault he did all this to me because he had told me the truth before we started dating. He told me about his $ex preference and instead of me to caution him out of it, I indulged him until I couldn't take it anymore but then it wa
DIANA'S POV Grayson stepped back after he felt the sharp pain in his shoulder. He placed his hand on his shoulder and saw blood gushing out of it. "You bitch! How dare you..." He was just about to slap me when his phone started ringing. He would have gladly ignored it if not that it was his mom and he knew exactly why she called. She'd never want the person she's planning to become the next king to miss any of the important cabinet meetings. He answered the call and it seemed like he was asked to come in a hurry. "You! I will get back to you." He said and immediately stormed out of the room. Renata came out of the bathroom as soon as she noticed he was gone. She freaked out when she saw blood stains on the knife. "What did you do to him, Diana?" She asked curiously. "I stabbed his shoulder. I need more concrete and indisputable evidence." I explained. "What? Why did you do that? Why did you stab him? You didn't tell me you will stab him, what if something happens to him
NICHOLAS' POV "How dare you lowlife point out to my son? Are you out of your mind or do you just want to die so desperately?" The Luna Dowager asked, angry frowns creasing her forehead as she jumped up to her feet. One look at Grayson and he was already shivering. "That is total blasphemy. How dare you call me an abuser?" He yelled, standing angrily to his feet. Even though I'm not so sure of what evidence would be brought forth today, I could tell he was guilty and his act was quite annoying. I gave him and his mom a side glare and they sluggishly sat down. Renata handed over her phone to a guard who collected it and connected it to the projector. The video wasn't audible but you need no one to explain what was going on. As I watched Grayson hit her and push her about, I began to feel my blood boiling and the veins in my neck throbbing. Hearing her say all that earlier didn't have much effect on me as this few seconds video. I gave Grayson a scorching look and seething with
DIANA'S POV The injury on his arm still hurt but not compared to his pride which was being tarnished by me and his brother. I didn't realize when my hands started towards Grayson's wound until he let out a small cry and I quickly removed my hand. I felt so dizzy that I thought my natural blue eyeballs were beginning to change to their demonic color. "I-I'm really sorry for all the pain I caused you. P-please...forgive me." Grayson pleaded. I could feel his anger in every word he uttered. Even though his voice made it sound like a sincere apology, his face and body language didn't. I could hear Renata mumbling how she had forgiven him and I could also feel her happiness hearing those words from him but I wasn't satisfied. Hearing people's voices and especially Renata's mumbling helped in control my urge for blood and I was able to carry out the most important part of my plan without fail. I raised my hand and sent three ear-splitting slaps down his cheeks and this shocked every
NICHOLAS POV I thought it was time to stop avoiding her now. I avoided going to the dining room whenever she was serving and I ended up meeting with her in the elevator and also the throne hall. It's obvious I really can't really run away from my destiny. I wished I had a little faith in the moon goddess a few years back then my life wouldn't have been such a mess. I thought my longing would go away if I felt her touch but it only worsened after touching her in the throne hall. I didn't commit any crime and I guess it's time to stop running now. "Oh, God! Why can't I even make myself believe that? He told me himself. He said I was innocent. He said it wasn't my fault. He said I shouldn't feel guilty about it. He said..." A feminine voice announcing the arrival of lunch jolted me out of my thoughts. I didn't give any reply as I was still contemplating whether to go or not. I was still seated on my bed when one of my personal maids came into the room after a brief knock. "Your Hi
DIANA'S POV As soon as I got back to my room on delivering the drinking to the King, I fell on my bed and uncontrollable tears which I had been holding up all the while started gushing out. Laying on the bed, I remembered my encounter outside the palace today. The image of that innocent woman kept disturbing my mind and it felt as if she was literally still standing in front of me, begging me to let her live. Why did she have to ask for my help at that time? I was really going to find animal blood to quench my thirst. I really didn't mean to kill her. I felt so raw today like there was no skin over my pain and the wind made it bleed. I've never been a person to hold a grudge, instead, seeking to understand the motives of another but...Nicholas...changed me. My urge for revenge increased because of the good life I watched him live. I knew when it started it would break me. I knew it would change me for the worse. I knew I wouldn't be able to ever become the kind of woman an
NICHOLAS POV I went back to my room upstairs and thought of what to do next. I need no more investigations now. I already know all I should and procrastination could be very dangerous. I called out a maid and ordered her to call Renata for me. She asked if I would want anything and I replied - Just Renata. The maid took heed and left to carry out my instructions when Ava walked inside the room. "What now?" She asked curiously as she traced my hands to the paper on it. I quickly dumped it inside my pocket before inviting her to sit. "Where have you been?" I asked, trying to change the topic. "The Prime Minister summoned me. He wanted to talk about finding my mate." She replied and I was elated by the news. "Woah! That's great. I can't wait to find out who your mate will be. Since you barely attend any function, you're attending the next full moon festival?" I asked curiously. "Yes. Only if you are attending." She replied, knowing fully well that I will never attend. "Th
DIANA'S POV The third floor was demarcated into two sections, one was a huge apartment belonging to the King and the other was made into different smaller apartments which were the King's personal staff quarters. While the staff quarters were just like a small self-contained room, The king's apartment was another house on its own with two living rooms, a bedroom, bathroom, dining room, and so on within the apartment. He could live his daily life without stepping out of the apartment if not that he was a king, a public figure who is always needed at all times. Once I was shown to my apartment, I decided to report my resumption of duty to the King so I went to his apartment. The maids guarding the first living room in the king's apartment were about to announce my presence when we saw Ava angrily coming out of the King's room and the King chasing after her. From the look of things, they were having a heated argument. "Ava, calm down. I will explain everything to you later, just le
