Bale’s POV
I was in my palace dealing with a dispute between two families about the land shared among them. One was claiming that the other tampered with the boundary, while the other denied it.
I was still trying to call on the person who made the demarcation when one of my guards, who are mounted at the pack boundary, ran into the palace like one being chased by a dragon. He was sweating profusely, and fear brimmed his eyes. What shocked me more was how badly wounded he was in both arms and legs.
He was in so much fear that it took him minutes to be able to catch his breath and find his voice. His eyes kept flickering around as if he were scared that whatever was hunting him was in the palace.
“Have you gone mad? What’s it?!! What is after you, and why are you badly wounded?!!” I kept asking while he was breathing heavily and grunting and gnashing his teeth.
“We are in danger. He managed to say, his eyes back to the very exit he came from. He began to point in that direction, repeating the same sentence: We are in danger.
My bodyguard surrounded me in readiness to defend me from whatever it was, but this fool is still finding it hard to say what the problem was.
“Alpha, the demons are here, and…and….
“What?” I exclaimed, my m*uth hanging open and my eyes widening as what he said resounded in my ears, sending shivers of fear down my spine.
“But how possible is that? The repelling force at that gate should have restricted them from entering. How could they break in?” I asked in confusion, looking around and realizing my wife wasn’t with me; she hadn’t left the bed room since morning.
She claimed to be quite weak and told me to go to the palace, saying that she would come by when she rested a little more. It’s been hours, and she isn’t here.
I was looking for her because she was what I cherished most, and I wouldn’t want any harm to her or my child. She should be here to be protected by my well–trained bodyguards, just like me.
“Where is my wife?” I asked. “Go get her here and shut the door; assemble the warriors to…

“Diana is the woman who led the demons in. She is the reason the repelling force didn’t strike back at them. The Luna we all bowed and held up as our queen is the woman destroying us,” the wounded man shouted again, and it was like my whole body was splashed with cold water as a chilling sensation swept through my skin.
I was frozen with shock, paralyzed at the spot with my head banging and my vision seeming blurry to understand what was happening in my surroundings.
“Are you trying to play with me or what?” I breathed, and the man shook his head, groaning in pain as he held his bleeding injuries, fighting for his life as he struggled to talk.
“She was the one who spared me and said I should come and inform you all. I saw her with my two eyes leading the legion of demons alongside the demon king. I think they are here for us–to overthrow and rule over us.” The man, whose voice was now fading, spilled and couldn’t hold on anymore as he died.
“Let’s go to war!!! We are fighting them back!!” I roared, and before me or anyone else could do anything, fog filled the whole place, thick and dark, blinding everyone of us. Then the laughter of Diana came in.
It was an evil laughter, like that of a monster in the night.
Chapter 28
“Diana, what are you doing? What turned you into this?” I screamed, but began to hear slashes of swords and claws. It was all over the place, yet I couldn’t see what was going on because I was literally blinded by the fog.
Bodies were falling: some were falling on my feet while the slashing sound lingered. I knew at that moment that my royal guards were being killed.
Just then, something like a chain circled me, and in a split second, I was in chains from shoulder down, leaving only my head and neck as the only parts I could shake.
Then the fog cleared off, and my breath hitched as I saw myself sitting on the floor in front of Diana and the demon king, a man who had been defeated and banished into the desert.
I could still recognize the demon king who was once an Alpha King before he chose the darkness path, allowing the devil to
him to bring curses and destruction to the werewolf kingdom.

It took a lot for us to defeat him with his dark magic, and we were only able to do that years ago because we were a special wolf among us that had the ancient sword from the moon goddess.
“Longest time.” He said to me with that wry smile that has its way of instilling so much fear in you.
“Who awakened you?” I fumed, struggling with the shackles on me. He chuckled and moved his eyes to Diana, who had a huge smile on her face.
“Do I need to tell you it was all done by my beloved wife, Diana? She is the hero, and with her help, we are back to reclaim all that had been snatched from us, including this pack and every living being in it. Dracula, the infamous demon king, huffed at me as he snapped his fingers, and the door of the palace closed and locked by itself.
“You are not reclaiming anything, and I promise you, you will be destroyed again, and this time, your remaining won’t be sent to the desert, but it will be burned into ashes!” I seethed, and both of them laughed.
Diana, the woman I had fallen head over heels in love with–a woman I had done so much for–even went to the extent of killing my daughter because I believed her.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
“You are the dumbest man to ever live, and it must be a mistake that you’re the Alpha. How could you be so easy to manipulate?” She laughed mockingly and used her hand to slap away the crown on my head. “You are not worth being the Alpha.” She spit on my face and laughed with the demon king.
“Diana, I loved you without knowing you were from the demon clan. Why did you also sell your soul to the devil? Why do you choose to follow that evil path? And remember, you have my baby. You have our baby, Diana.
They burst into another round of laughter.
“So you think I will have a baby for a st*pid clown like you? Ahh, you have no idea how much I hate you. It had been hell for me living with you and hearing you confess love to me. Your s** with me has been like rape, and I feel nauseous when you k*ss me. I’m glad it’s all over, yuck!”
My heart shattered into pieces as I heard what she just said, and then the image of my first wife clouded my mind. It was as if I was just beginning to come back to my actual sense, like one that had been charmed before.
I also began to remember my beloved daughter, whom I led to her death just to please this evil woman.
My world was crumbling right in front of my eyes, and there was nothing I could do about it.
“The child is mine, dumb head,” Dracula said this and clasped his hands behind him as he walked over to the throne. He proudly sat on it, and Diana went over to the queen throne while their demons took positions behind them just as my royal guards.
“We are here to ask for the sword; the ancient sword used to destroy me in the first place. I heard it was your turn to keep it

safe and protect it. Show us where it is. Dracula said it in a commanding tone, as if he were talking to his puppet.
If he thinks I will ever do that, then he is a big fool. That sword is the only hope to prevent the demons from rulling over the entire werewolf race in the north and south of America. If they get it, then there is no way we will be able to defeat them, and that means we will become their slaves.
“Stop dreaming. I will never show you where it is.” I said it adamantly, meaning every word.
“We know you will prove stubborn. We aren’t in a haste to have it, but just know that we can still have it without your help, and besides, showing us where the sword is will save your pack from being among those to be attacked and subjected under us,” Dracula said in a casual tone, smiling at Diana, who beamed and pecked his l*ps.
“You have no idea how much I missed you. The mission was really stressful for me because of him. You are the man I love.” She cooed to him, and he grinned, held her chin, and pulled her closer as they both k*ssed deeply. I looked down to the floor, unable to see my wife do this.
My heart was heavy with pain and felt like it was being stabbed countless times, leaving me bleeding.
“Your daughter is the only one that can prevent us from having that sword and even go as far as killing us all. She is wolfless because something greater than a mere inner wolf is brooding and taking form in her. She is bestowed with a supernatural gift that has never been seen before. It’s just a year, and it will all get unlocked. Now she is dead; no hope for you, bastard!” Diana said to me after they broke the k*ss.
“But you
said she was having a relationship with the vampire son. You….” I paused talking, realizing how foolish I was sounding. Diana was lying all those times just to get my child killed. She was never on my side.
Regret and guilt slashed my soul, and tears filled my eyes. If only I knew. If only anyone had told me.
“Your pack members don’t know we are here, and we can pretend everything is fine. Just help us with the sword. You have days to think about it. It’s a way to save your own people and give them the better life they deserve. We won’t harm of them* Dracula said, and I shook my head, unable to agree to that.
Just then, a knock came on the palace door.

Diana stared intently at the door, her eyes changing colors magically, and it was like she knew who was behind the door and left the throne to open the door herself.
*Come in…” She dragged them in and locked the door. I looked up to see the trembling Torian and his mother. They smelled the demon scent late, and now they were already in with the door locked.
*Please let us go. We…” Torian begged as his eyes met with the demon king and his legion of demons, then at me, hopelessly sitting on the floor.
“No, you are not going anywhere, not when you actually came here to make me lose my baby” Diana said and laughed gleefully, and right in front of Torian, Diana attacked his mother brutally, using her claws to sear all over her face.
“Noll” Torian screamed and made to fight her, but the demons came and held him back.
“You will lose your mother first.” Diana giggled and stomped on the woman’s ankle, breaking off her joint constantly while she screeched in great pain, convulsing.
