SILVER BLOOD'S PREQUEL Right in the middle of the ballroom, the tray as well as the champagne glasses clattered on the ground with a loud crash, spilling drinks everywhere and on everyone close, he stared at me with so much disgust and I didn't know how to feel. “Impossible! The moon goddess must have lost her mind if she thinks you, a mere wolf can match up to an Original lycan.” Every word uttered led to something I dreaded the most. “I, Prince Alaric O'Neil Winston, reject you as my mate. Get her out of here now!” For centuries, the Lycans ruled with extreme viciousness and wickedness by enslaving the weaker and inferior specie, the werewolves. Their agony and suffering met the heart of the moon goddess and she bestowed upon them a savior. Chosen To lead her kind to freedom after being rejected by her mate, the lycan prince, Diana Melbourne must become the very thing she feared—a killer!
View MoreChapter Thirty-threeDiana's povI regained consciousness slowly and I tried to wriggle my hands but noticed they were bound to each other but I kept trying. I opened my eyes and it was a sack over my head and panic began to set in.I couldn't speak because my mouth was taped. Under the mask I could feel the tears now slowly dripping down my face until it soaked the tape and embraced my lips with its salty taste.I tried to plead, But it came out all muffled.My breathing increased and I began to thrash around. I also noticed that my legs were bound to each other as well. The more I continued to wiggle the more the binds cut through my skin, the pain made me wince But that didn't stop me from trying to get out of the ropes.The more I continue to stay like this the more I'm being reminded of the time at the palace before I had one of the locks jammed indicating an entry and then the sounds of the king's voice. The electric buzz of the machine, the cold water, the prince staring down a
Chapter thirty-twoDiana's pov“There was someone in the house?" The first thought that came to my mind was that the queen was after me and I knew she would never let me go. I never believed it after a second.“It's been a while since they've been gone. I wonder what they were looking for,” My brother said as he sniffed the air before he rushed up to check on our mother. His feet pounded loudly on the stairs as he took them two at a time calling out to our mother.I entered the house still shaken up. I waited for my brother to come back down, which he did eventually.“Mom's fine, she's still sleeping,” He informed me before searching around the house for any clues as to who had invaded our house. I was conflicted about whether or not I should voice my thoughts. I couldn't tell who based on scent because mine were not that developed. When he didn't find anything, he concluded that maybe they were just street thieves. I knew better though.My heart came pounding up to my throat. My b
Chapter Thirty-oneDiana's povI heard muffled voices over and over again, I couldn't hear what they were saying clearly, they continued to shake me. I cracked my eyelids open and everywhere was blurred, there was a human figure over me as he continued to shake me awake.“Diana, Diana, can you hear me? wake up." This was the first time I had seen my brother since I had gotten back, he looked not much different from the stoic person I had known him to be.His eyebrows knitted together in confusion, “Are you okay, what are you doing in the middle of the woods?” He questioned worriedly.I would've been lying if I said he always cared about me, he always watched from the sidelines, not really contributing to my pain but not elevating it either.Daniel was right beside him, they were the only ones present, “What were you doing out here in the woods? it's quite dangerous,” Daniel cautioned as he helped me sit up while my brother backed away to give him space. I was thankful he did, I didn't
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
Chapter Twenty-nine.Alaric's pov:Since my mate left, I've been trying to find out what my father had really wanted from her. Why did she have to go through so much torture based on what someone else had to say?He mentioned something about her being a sorcerer and having powers, but that couldn't be true since there hasn't been a sighting of sorcerers or any form of witchcraft for years now, at least none that I have heard of.I knew something else was going on, I just couldn't figure it out yet, there were too many fragments.I made my way into the conference room where my father was having a meeting with the prime ministers and as his son, I was meant to be there.They were already seated when I entered, I didn't bother to disturb them and just went to the seat closest to my father. They continued to talk about how the wolves in the city were, how we were losing control of them, and that they needed to set the order right.I drowned out still trying to figure out what my father wa
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 Twenty-seven.Diana's povI kept banging on the door and yelling his name until Daniel came up and stopped me, “Hey hey, calm down, Diana, calm down.” I stopped banging on the door and calling out to the fortune teller.“Why are you getting so worked up about it?" Daniel asked.Honestly, Luke being restless just made me restless. I felt like there was some kind of meaning to what those cards depicted but why did he scare him so much?“Uhmm, we paid for our futures to be read, at least he should finish his job,” I lied.Normally I wouldn't be bothered about Luke's behavior, I never really believed whatever he did was real anyway, also I thought he was a scam, but ever since the strange occurrences in the palace, I've become a bit skeptical, and I couldn't tell Daniel about them.Daniel laughed at my answer, “That's what this was about? C'mon now D, it's no biggie, I don't even believe in what he said anyway, it was just a way for us to pass the time,” he confessed.I glanced
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-fiveDiana's pov.I continued to walk with no destination in mind, I wiped the hot angry tears from my cheeks, why was even affected by this? This has been my life for the past thirteen years, it shouldn't be a big deal.I felt a hand grab me by the wrist and pull me close to it, my head collided with a hard wall, and arms wrapped around me. I knew it was Daniel right away, his earth scent filled my nostrils, and he hugged me even tighter while I cried into his shirt.There was complete silence between us until my soft whimpers came to a halt and all I did was hiccup every now and then.“Are you okay?” He whispered. While I still hugged him, I didn't respond before he pulled me away and held me at arm's length.He withdrew a handkerchief from his pocket and helped me to wipe the tears from my face before they dried up.Good thing I didn't have to explain much to him as he knew all about what happened, he was the only one out of the members of the pack as well as the cit
