Diane’s POV(…a new friend)It was her second day at school. Larry and Williams had diverted towards their institute as Diane was left strolling reluctantly to her first class for the day—she was few minutes late. She hoped she wouldn’t come across Collins as all her imaginations on how their second meeting could be, were extreme. She heard the lecturer's voice as she approached the lecture hall. She met a few students lurking at the entrance. The class was half full as she maneuvered her way towards the back, with few heads turning as she finally settled on a seat. “I don’t tolerate late coming to my class.”, the lecturer instructed—a short bald man with abnormally large lens. “Didn’t you meet some of your colleagues outside?”, he questionedDiane, who was busy taking out a notebook, looked up at him in surprise, “How am I supposed to know I’m to join them? Next time put a notice at the door”, she replied carelessly without noticing the gasps from the students. The lecturer walked up

Diane’s pov (… lovey-dovey) She was stunned to see Collins in another outfit. He had never looked this handsome. Her mouth was still hanging open when he took his seat beside her, wearing the usual mesmerizing smile that had once made her angry. Here she was, swooning uncontrollably for a guy she barely knew—the first gut that had managed to get into her stony heart. Was it his beauty or his manners? She couldn’t tell. All she was certain of his how he made her feel, especially his mild cologne that had consumed her nostrils. “You’re probably still angry with me for today’s incidence. I was hoping we could talk about it. Probably when you stop seeing me as a strange stalker, or whatever”, he remarked. Diane had been lost, just at the sight of him, that she didn’t realize when she was expected to speak, until he called her name with a slight tap, “Diane?” She stuttered randomly, sucking her two lips inwards in embarrassment. “Are you okay?”, he asked, as she caught a clearer view

Diane's POV(…knight in shining armor)She watched as the blurry image of a tall muscular guy raised Tom and gave him a kick under his chin, making him swivel and fall to the ground. He forced him down to his knees in front of her , holding his hands tightly behind him. Diane looked up in astonishment at the features of Collins, smiling down at her. His expression dissolved immediately into a frown as he looked over Tom’s head and commanded, “Apologize.”Diane looked back on Tom’s contorted face as he tried to free himself from his grip. “Apologize!”, Collins roared this time. His angry voice sent chills into her as she watched. “Sorry”, Tom grumbled.“She didn’t hear you”, Collins jeered, pulling him by the hair.“I’m sorry”, he wailed, thereafter, Collins swung him sideways, approaching Diane, who sat still on the floor—in pain. Collins stretched a hand towards her, but supported her by the waist when she leaped in difficulty. She felt lightheaded as she regained her stamina. “Are

Diane's POV(…mystery man)She gaped at his last comment, wondering what he was up to, as he sounded serious. But, she couldn't help fear for his life. Only a selected few were permitted into the Duke's residence and the camp of the pack's warriors was right behind the palace—there was only one entrance to the palace. At first she thought to spend the time primping but again laughed at the possibility and wiped off the smudged makeup. She heard a mild groan similar to one she heard some times back and immediately turned off the running water in fear, heading back into the room. “I guess you didn't believe me after all”, a voice said as Diane screamed in terror, before catching Collin's face by the window and staggered backwards, which made her bedlamp fall off the nightstand. She was still trembling when he spoke again, “I didn't know I'll scare you this much. You seemed brave”. She stood horrorstruck at him as her face dripped water from the previous face wash. “Diane!” Bernie's m

Alex's POV(…a new standard)“There are lots of proofs, Alpha. The video says it all. Harry probably couldn't stop her”, the Beta explained.“I choose not to believe my daughter would ever go that length to soil my name. She was home last night according to Bernie. Although, she refused to open up to anyone till I came. You and I know it's impossible to leave the palace unnoticed”, Alex remarked blankly, with strong faith in his fortress. “I think you should ask her. If she denies it, then we can trace down the culprit and their reason for such infamous deed. But our major focus should be how she got out not her identity. She could be with whoever she wants”“Again. she never left the palace and Not my daughter, Mike!. She's the next Alpha. I can't believe you spit such folly from your mouth”, the Alpha hissed and got up in fury.“She should be waiting for me. Get me yesterday's report from the warriors. I heard of a suspicious movement at the borders last night” he commanded. He hea
