Semua Bab THE TRUE WOLF BLOODS: Bab 21 - Bab 30

Chapter Twenty-two.Diana's povI stared awake from my bed, pain resonated from my body especially my arms, with every movement I made, I groaned. Thoughts of what happened flashed in my mind, and everything came rushing back to me.The last thing I remembered was Prince Alaric's scrunched-up features, and then I blacked out, how I got back to my room wasn't part of my memories.It was a moment of my life where I had wished for death, prayed for it even, I had doubted my faith in the moon goddess or rather had lost it. Ever since I was born it was one thing and the other, I had thought just like everyone else, it would pass with time but it never did.A part of my life I wouldn't like to revisit, here in the palace I had thought I was going to have a better start when I had first arrived but it was the exact same, I didn't know what I would expect from working for the very Lycans who made the lives of countless other werewolves as well as humans a living hell.I struggled to get up fr

Chapter Twenty-fourDiana's povThe door opened up and my mother walked into the room, she hadn't changed a bit since I last saw her, she looked like she was doing good even. I wiped the tears that I didn't know had spilled down my face and stood up quickly and so did Daniel.“Hi Mom,” I greeted a bit nervously. I wrung my fingers and twirled them in anxiety.She glanced at Daniel and then her eyes landed on me. When I left two years ago it wasn't on good terms, not that any of our encounters had been good ever since the incident with my father.“You came back,” she acknowledged my existence before she went towards the kitchen where Daniel helped her with the bags in her hands and greeted her. My mother didn't have a problem with Daniel and she offered him a smile of gratitude.“It's nice to see you again, Mrs Melbourne,” Daniel said while I stood behind them almost completely forgotten.My mother conversed with Daniel for a bit before he offered to leave after a look from me. He kne

Chapter Twenty-six.Diana's povDartos set was a fortune teller's shop, that was what Daniel wanted which we were about to do.He was the first to sit down opposite the man named Luke who was the owner of the shop. I glanced around the shop a few times, it was like any other fortune teller shop, relatively large room but dimly lit by candles which flickered often, casting across the walls adorned with tapestries depicting celestial scenes and ancient runes.The room was filled with a certain scent of sandalwood and something else, I couldn't quite place my finger on it.I took a careful step back when I spotted just at the corner close to the door, a crystal ball sitting atop a velvet cushion bathed by a soft ethereal glow created by the candles shimmering.I had to remind myself I wasn't in the palace anymore and that I was far away from that orb, this one just reminded me of it.I turned back around and faced Luke, Daniel was already seated in front of Luke with a round table separa

Chapter Twenty-eight.Diana's pov I was so confused and scared as I stood in front of none other than the queen— the last person I would ever be seeing here won't even be her though as she wouldn't be on the list.I didn't know what to do, should I curtsey? “What are you even doing here? I told you to leave my shop,” Luke chided as he went over to lock the door on the queen's orders.I swallowed a lump in my throat, I really wasn't lucky when it came to the royal family. She didn't seem like she was about to let me go after I had caught her with someone else other than the king in a land much farther away from the palace.Luke came up from behind me, “Your Highness, I'm sorry for the intrusion, just another one of my customers,” he responded to the queen.“You, I know you,” she noted as she draped the robe over her shoulders properly. “You're my son's rejected mate aren't you?”Luke looked between me and the queen wondering how we were acquainted.“Yes your Highness,” what else was

Chapter thirty.Diana's povAfter I dashed out of Luke's shop, I didn't know where I was going, but the rational part of my mind, which I didn't know was still alive, knew that the queen couldn't be trusted. I couldn't go straight home, I couldn't put my mother in danger.Her sharp eyes and her long claws seemed to be burning in my mind, I would have been dead if it weren't for luke.I didn't know where I was going and just ran, after I had put some distance between me and Luke's shop, I finally slowed down. The streets were empty, which was weird, usually there were always some people out at night.I heaved heavily with my hands in my chest, I couldn't stop the tears from falling and just let them go. When I got here, I thought I could have a little peace of mind, maybe my emotions would be in check and I could rest a bit, I was wrong, it felt like everywhere I turned there was always a royal night there to make my life a living hell, maybe I shouldn't even go back to the palace.I t
