Diana woke up with a start. She sat up in her bed, her heart was hammering in her chest. She placed her hand over her chest as if to calm it down.What the hell had she seen? Was Calhoun alright? How could he have been poisoned? Would he take poison deliberately?She took deep breaths and after a few minutes, she calmed down.Her eyes turned slightly teary as the nightmare she had just seen played before her eyes again.She couldn't sleep anymore. She checked the wall clock. It was past 3 am. She sighed deeply.Perhaps it was just because she missed him, and that was why she had such a terrifying dream about him. She shook off the fright and laid back in her bed.She wasn't a human, she wasn't supposed to be afraid of such fragile and untrue fragments of imagination.She allowed her thoughts to wander far and wide, exploring the depth of her mind, a means of luring herself to a deep slumber.It had always worked for her even as a child, and it wasn't any different now because she had

"Leave her alone," Diana ordered. The man turned to glance at the woman who dared to order him. "Excuse me?"Diana raised her hand so fast that nobody saw it coming and before anyone could react, she had landed it across his face, giving him a resounding slap. The man's head turned to the other side and everyone gasped. Even his subordinates were surprised, they moved back subconsciously.Chuckling, the man turned to face Diana. He saw her eyes glowing a dim red. Although it was almost unnoticeable, he could tell because of how close he was. He glared murderously at her. Rather than releasing his grip on Maggie, he tightened it. Maggie yelped in pain.Diana sent a punch to his jaw and the man's head went up. His jawbone shifted from its position.Diana did not give him a break or a chance to hit back, she raised the table and slammed it over his head, then she pulled Maggie away from his grip.His subordinates were confused about what to do. Were they to fight back or run for their l

Diana enjoyed her time with Maggie. The week was very eventful and it was so full of activities, she forgot about her daily sorrow. Maggie had also prepared some wonderful meals for her and she was so happy with them, she requested the recipes since there were no means of preserving them that easily.Diana had seen her off to the train station and watched her leave. She felt a little sadness in her heart since she knew that she was returning to her lonely state.Rather than sitting at home though, she applied for a job in the post office. She worked from 9 am till 5 pm. Then she would return home and relax for the evening until it was bedtime.Diana enjoyed her work and it kept her busy during the day. At the start, it was extremely stressful for her, but gradually, she began to get used to it. She spent six months with them and by then it was obvious to everyone that she was expecting a child. One day she was returning from work, and she met someone seated on her rocking chair right

Calhoun was on the ground, feeling the pain yet unable to react or move his body. He could hear the guards discussing amongst themselves."Hey, is he dead?""I guess. No werewolf can survive this special silver bullet!""Oh but look, it's King Calhoun."There was silence. The second guard shifted back in fear."Come on, don't be afraid! He's dead. Don't you see the look on his face? It's like he can't believe he's dead too!""Someone gotta inform the King about this." The first guard said. "You, scared crow. Why don't you go tell the king what happened?" The second guard was more than happy to leave. He had heard stories and rumors about Calhoun and he was not going to be the one to dare and find out if it was true or not.He quickly ran away. The third guard chuckled at his reaction."Oi, I think you should follow him." He said. "Knowing that coward, he might just run away and leave us here alone.""You want to stay alone with this man's carcass? What if he rises from the dead?" "

Calhoun was quiet for a few seconds, then he burst into laughter."You crack me up, Gigi." He said. "Don't joke around in such a manner."Gigi never felt so humiliated all her life. How could she confess her feelings to him and all he could do was laugh and tell her not to joke around? Was he that emotionless? Did he not care about anything in life?"Go to your room." He ordered. "Go and think about your life, you are too naive for this type of talk."Gigi held onto his arm as he tried to walk away. Calhoun stopped and turned to look at her. He knew the girl had a soft spot for him, but she was his cousin and not even a loved one. Calhoun could boldly say he hated Damita. She was too ambitious and was willing to do anything for the throne."Calhoun, I swear, I love you." She confessed, teary-eyed. "Don't push me away! I'm nothing like my mother, I'm a different person."Calhoun chuckled. "Little girl, go to sleep." He said again and turned to resume his walk. Gigi pulled him but ended
