Diane's POVI got up and started pacing around the dark and cold prison I had been locked in. Owen was going to bring Lucius. They were coming to save me. I just had to hold on for a while longer.My fingers were shaking as my anxiety took the better of me but I didn't stop I continued moving about. I believed the exercise would help calm my nerves.I didn't know how long I moved about but I stopped when I heard Owen's tiny little voice again."Mummy!" He yelled and I paused.All my senses were focused as I tried to listen in more closely but as it was typical of Owen he didn't say anything at all.I rushed over to the door and pressed my ear to it, trying to figure out if he had come with someone else."No! Mummy!" Owen repeated and I wondered what was riling him up.I raised my fingers and started knocking against the door as hard as I could, hoping that whoever was with Owen could hear me."Help!" I cried out, my voice completely gone from all the screaming and little hydration."P

Diane's POV"You did this!" I spat out glaring at her.I was right in guessing that she would have done this.She folded her arms across her chest and smiled.Her smile only increased my anger. How dare she?I was up on my feet in seconds and I moved menacingly to the door. "What do you stand to gain by doing this? huh?"She closed her eyes and flapped them open once again. Then she stretched her nails forward and blew at them."You know, for a human girl, you are very smart and I am almost jealous!" She chuckled.My eyes narrowed at her statement as I was certain it made no sense. Why would she refer to me as a human girl when she was one herself?I shook my head, ignoring her silly babble. I raised my finger at her and closed the distance between us."I don't know what madness is going on in your head but you have to release me, Jolynn. You won't get Lucius! Just think about it for a second," I breathed, dropping my hand to my waist."You have been with him all your life and he didn

Lucius's POVAlmost a day had passed and I still had no idea where Diane was. I tried threatening Jolynn but that psychopath was a dead end. "I think we should trail her," Fred said in a calming voice. "Let's go after her and find out where Diane is!"I stopped pacing and looked at him with narrowed eyes. My eyes had a million questions, but before I could speak he explained what he meant."You are certain that this Jolynn girl has my granddaughter, And your beta is certain that they have her here?" He asked.I pulled the vanity chair that was nearby and sat down on it. "Yes, but what if they have moved her deeper into town? What if that was just bait to lead us off their trail? What if she isn't even with Diane?"The possibilities were endless and it was slowly driving me insane."None of what we have is a step closer to finding her because it seems the more we found out, the farther she slips from my fingers."Fred was quiet but I could tell he was thinking. "We are losing time and

Lucius's POV"I am not going to stop! I will prove it to them!" She yelled desperately trying to remain in control but the tides had changed.I was now the one running the game and I would make sure she didn't come out of it alive if she dared me.I had given her too much time for her to reconsider her actions and she refused to listen, now there would be no mercy."Your time is ticking, Jolynn," I called as I walked down the corridor triumphantly.My anger was still present but it had somehow been abated knowing that I was going to see Diane in an hour. It was all going to be over soon.And this time, I would treat her the way she deserved. I would tell her all there was to know about my people and I would claim her. Then I would send Jolynn to the farthest corner of the earth, never to be seen again.Everything would be perfect.As I moved through the corridors to my quarters I almost ran into a guard as I caught sight of Fred in the corner."My King!" The guard I almost ran into qu

Diane's POV I felt dizzy the moment Jolynn and her guard left me. Everything just turned blurry and I couldn't remember exactly what had happened. But somewhere along the line, I fell into subconsciousness. I couldn't tell how exactly it had happened but I knew that my body was weak.I had been feeling the weakness for a while. I was hungry and dehydrated but adrenaline had helped me stay conscious but it failed me.I was in a world where everything was dark. I couldn't make out anything, only faint sounds and an inconsistent splash of color once in a while that would carry a face I knew.One of those times, I could have sworn I saw Lucius. I heard him calling unto me and my eyes tried to remain steady on him but I couldn't. It felt like there was a deadweight placed above my eyes that made it impossible for me to keep them open.I made to open my lips and call unto him but I was far too weak to say anything. It was like the subconscious world was calling unto me; pulling me into it
