I shuddered hard, shocked and in disbelief, my eyes pinned on the disfigured ankle as her joints jutted in an uneven direction. She was in great pain, letting out a bloodcurdling cry while she held her leg.
It was so hard for me to understand and so overwhelming to see Diana in this form. I could swear before this moment that she was an angel, a woman with a good and tender heart who wouldn’t be able to hurt a fly.
How wrong was I? How blind was I to bring in a demon into my home and bred her up to this point, and now I am left with no way of escape.
Torian was in tears, so heartbroken to see his beloved mother anguish with him, unable to do anything.
“I won’t need either of you alive since I will be taking control of your pack. Who will be the first to die?” Diana threw the question at Torian.
“None, please don’t kill us. Have mercy on us, at least for whatever we had in the past. Remember all I did for you.” He cried like a baby, hoping to extract the tiniest tenderness from her–at least a little pity from Diana–but this wasn’t the same woman we all knew.
“Both are dying, and I asked who would go first. What do you mean by none? Or should I choose myself? As for me, I want you dead first because the sight of you irks me. It reminds me of the past we shared, which only makes me angry and irritated.” Diana scoffed, huffing a dry chuckle.
“What? You never loved me?” Torian was vividly shocked; it was written all over his face as his widened eyes peered at Diana, who still had her fangs and claws out in readiness. Her eyes were turning blood red, and the veins were sprouting out.
The demon king should be the one doing all this, but Diana seemed to be more dangerous than him. She seemed to hold more grudges against us than the demon king himself, and it was just driving me crazy, especially as this was the same face 1 took to the altar as my wife, threw a big party, and bought her the best of wedding gowns and jewelry.
Could all this be a dream–a nightmare that feels so real–but on the later run, I would jump up from the bed, sweating and breathing heavily, then exhale in relief that it was all a dream.
“You all are just so daft. All I have in my heart from every single werewolf in this world is hatred–intense hatred that runs deep through my veins, seeping into my bone marrows. What I desire is to see you all suffer terribly, but for you two..” She paused, pointing at me and Torian. I don’t want any suffering for you both.
She chuckled, “I want death. Slowly and painful one in a gory way that you would feel even after death.”
“What did I do wrong to you? I was so caring and harmed my daughter to please you. I….
“I hate you both for torturing me all these years. F**k it. I had been living in hell, putting up with the outpour of fake love just to hide who I truly was, The s** was so annoying when it wasn’t from my lover, Dracula. I had to bear it all, and now what my
whole being craves is to pay you all back with death!”
My heart sank into my stomach, listening to her. The venom in her tone was enough evidence that she wasn’t joking. She really meant that the love I thought we shared was torture to her. She hates me for all that and won’t spare my life.
At that moment, I lost my voice. My brain went blank, and my throat seemed like it was blocked with lumps. The thought of dying was so terrifying, especially when my killer was going to be my second wife. My mind was flashing back to every blissful moment of my life when things were perfectly fine with my beloved mate and daughter, Selene.
I was missing them, realizing those were pasts that wouldn’t return to me. Maybe I wasn’t the cause of my first mate’s death, but the guilt pressed against my chest because there was just one fruit we shared that she expected me to treat well. Our daughter is the fruit of our deep love.
Chapter 29
Diana came into my life and took away my senses. 1 became a fool, an absolute fool who had lost every sense of reasoning.
It just hurts so much that I realized all this so late when my life was about to be snatched away. Well, I had no reason to stay alive after my daughter had died because of me. Can I live with the guilt of being that man who killed his daughter for a demon, and they just let me know she was a gift from the moon goddess?
I didn’t only put my life at stake: I did the same for my pack members and everyone else in the North and South regions,
“If you kill me, you will never find the ancient sword?” I shouted at Diana, and she wasn’t the only one who laughed; the demon king and his legion of demons joined in.
Do you want to use that as an escape route from death? If you don’t show us, someone else is willing to do that to save his family. We have you the offer initially, and you declined; it’s gone.” Diana winked evilly, then turned to Torian, who was still gnashing in pain.
You will die first. I want him to watch his sweet mother and partner in crime die off. You know you should go to the world of the dead and prepare a room for him.” She laughed and pulled out a dagger from her pocket.
The woman was shaking profusely, begging for mercy with terror in her eyes as she stared at the blade drawing close to her skin. Torian, on the other hand, was doing all he could to free himself from the grip of the demon guards, but his strength wasn’t enough at all.
All he could do was shout, roar, scream, cry, and plead with tears and sweat smeared all over his face. His crushed heart is clearly seen in his eyes. It was a nightmare. Yes, no man would be able to bear such. It was something that would haunt you forever if you were kept alive.
The pain of watching the woman that bore you, being killed slowly, dying in deep pain with you doing nothing but watching or looking down to the ground. This was too much to do to even your greatest enemy, and it left me throbbing with more fear at what Diana actually was.
She was the real devil and had been pretending all this time with no trace to what her true identity was.
She hesitated a bit, and I thought she was about to change her mind and not kill the woman. But in the next minute, the blad slit off the left ear. She ordered her guards to hold the woman tight as she took her time gauging out her eyes, a huge smirk on her face as if she were enjoying every bit of it.
Well, she was actually enjoying it to the fullest. Like several horror movies, we all watched as the so–called second Luna of this pack singlehandedly harvested the woman’s organs one after the other as she died slowly in intense pain.
She kept the parts on a tray after she was done, then turned to Torian with an evil smile. He couldn’t make any sound anymore, clearly lost his voice, or finally realized that it was useless screaming or begging for mercy.
His mother had actually been slaughtered, after all his begging and pleading that he should be killed instead. I could feel the suppressing guilt in his eyes; every part of him was broken as he looked hopelessly at Diana.
She gestures with her knife that he should be brought forward. For real, she was going to take her time killing him brutally too. Mercy was far away from her, and it does look like a casual thing to her.
So this was the woman I kept with me and slept on the same bed with. I had s** with her and k*ssed her. I lay with a demon. I dined with my death, brooding it for a better moment to take my life and make my people slaves. Then, that one precious gift from my true mate, I pushed to her death, just to please this devil.
My legs were now weak, unable to carry me, as my heart seemed like it was being stabbed countless times. The pain was getting worse with the face of my daughter filled in my head and her voice when she was warning me about my new wife echoing like a bell in my brain.
Torian was brought to her and was positioned on the floor, giving her free access to any body part she wished to cut first.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Chapter 29
I need to chop off his dick first. That’s the punishment for everyone of you that had had s** with me.” She seethed, and my heart sank into my stomach. I don’t need a soothsayer to know she was also referring to me.
“Why are you doing this to me? Please just allow me to go back to my people. Allow me to go, and I’ll never come close to you again. I will go far away from you and…”
“Why are you running now? Remember how much you loved and desired me? You were ready to even kill him to have me. Where had that obsession run to, baby?” She said in a sarcastic tone, her eyes on the blade as the demons pulled down his shorts, revealing his limp dick, which made them all laugh mockingly at him.
I swear to leave you and never….”
“I don’t want you to leave me anymore. She burst into laughter, her eyes down to his dick, as she put on a hand glove. “It will be into three parts… She giggled evilly.
Just as she bent to actually do it, there was a knock on the palace door–a consistent knock that made her look up alongside everyone else.
“What??” She and the demon king muttered, their eyes narrowing at the door. They are the only ones able to see through the door, and they saw who was at the door, which made them shocked and confused.
Who could it be?
Diana’s eyes turned to me with fury.
“Why did you invite the Lycan into this, you motherF**ker?” She barked, and I flinched in fear and confusion. I didn’t invite anyone, but if they were here, then God just gave me another chance to live.
“I didn’t.”
“If this door is not opened in seconds, we will break it down and kill everyone in there!” Their voice roared on, confirming that they were truly Lycans, and not just any, but powerful and well trained
“What are they here for?” A question that boggled my head.
Diana grunted, fuming, as she looked around in frustration
“Let’s go…” She said this to the demon king and her crew, and in a twinkle of an eye, they vanished in a gust of smoke.
It was then that I realized I had been holding my breath.
I ran and opened the door, and the seven Lycans burst in.
“Where is Diana?!” They asked furiously but were left shocked as they saw the dead body and blood spilled all over the ground.
“What happened here?” Another of them asked, but the leader shunned him. “We don’t care. No need to ask!
He then turned to me with a serious look. “We searched everywhere before coming here, which means she isn’t in the pack. Selene, our queen, is to be made an order for her head. Make sure you offer her to us, or we will take it by force and compensate ourselves with five more heads!”
This is what he said before they all left.
Did I just hear it clearly?
Selene? She is alive,
