Chapter 48
Stan POV
Her warning was ringing in my head. Every part of my being was reminding me of everything she told me, and I was pretty sure she wasn’t lying. It was actually dangerous for me to show my face to Selene now, if she had really become strong and powerful
With all 1 had done to her, she was going to really make my life hell and not kill me in the process, but I wanted to try my h i c k. Selene had a good heart, and if I offered to tell her everything and expose all of Diana’s secrets, I believed she would give me a second chance.
She might really hate me from the depths of her life, but what is more important to her is the destruction of the demons, especially Diana, and since I can help her with that, I believe she won’t kill me off.
For the first time in my life. I was ready to do the right thing, even though it would cost me a lot, Working for that demonic Diana was something I couldn’t do anymore, especially as she failed to accomplish that one t ing I desired so much.
For real, I don’t know if I will be able to make my sister have Lucian, but at least I won’t be working with Diana, who isn’t straightforward and uses us like toys. I am sure she doesn’t believe I would have the courage to expose her to Selene, maybe because of my sister, who was still working for her, but she is wrong.
Selene has to know that we are being forced to a b i d e by her rules. The actual enemy we all have to destroy is Diana. She is evil.
I was looking back continuously to make sure no one was following-anyone like a demon from Diana. I saw none, so I quickened my pace to get to the kingdom border. I knew I would be facing a lot from Selene, but if she can give me this second chance, then we can all make things right.
Finally, I got to the border, and just as I was about to cross it, something like a fog covered my path, and before I could think of what to do to dodge from it, the whole fog vanished into my chest. I clearly saw it when it entered me.
My eyes widened, fear gripping me and leaving me paralyzed to a spot. I knew that was a demon. A heart demon that could possibly control people’s senses and make them do things they don’t want to. It creates a kind of delusional state that leaves. you saying and acting in a way that you never planned for.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
“Diana can’t allow you to expose us, b a s t a r d!” A voice whispered in my ears, making a cold run down my spine. I shivered and swallowed hard, looking at my hands and body to see if there were any changes,
There was none, nor do I feel like I wasn’t in control of my brain. Everything seemed normal to me, and I was forced to believe nothing had entered me
“Maybe it is all in my head. F u c k!” I shrugged and ran forward to the kingdom, crossing the border, and kept running till I was in front of the castle. A place that was once my home. A place I was brought into and treated like a part of the royal family.
All my life as the Lycan prince personal guard, it had been like a bed of roses, with him making me feel like I had gotten an older brother that cares so much for me. His family really treated me and my sister like jewels, and it was so good. One thing was left for me, and that was seeing him get married to my sister.
I had really desired that among all.
Right now, as I stood in front of the big black, I couldn’t go further. Gut-wrenching fear and anxiety were eating me deep into my veins and bone marrow. My heart was beating so fast and loudly, and my body was literally shaking like I was being electrocuted.
I wished I had become an enemy to Selene. I wish I treated her so well and stood by her. My life would have been a blessing now that she had become really powerful. Not only will I be safe from the demons, but I will also be close to the two most powerful creatures on earth, so I am sure of my well-being and that of my sister.
But now I am in the middle of an ocean, not among any sides. I don’t trust Diana, and neither will I trust Selene, who must
really hate me from the depths of her heart.
After less than an hour, I picked up the courage and pressed the bell. Soon enough, the gateman came out and opened the door, and immediately he saw me. He was only surprised to see me. The expression on his face says a lot, which I couldn’t explain.
He didn’t say anything to me, but with the way he looked at me, it was like he was so shocked that I could get the courage to step foot in here again. Maybe he had heard rumors of what I did to Selene
This made me more frightened, but going back was not an option. I needed Selene to decide my fate, and it can only happen after I meet her..
With a slow pace, I moved in, and as soon as I entered the porch, my body began to heat up as if there were fires in the whole building. Sweat covered my whole body as I looked around, wondering where the heat came from.
Everyone was normal, making me know it was only me, and the heat was generating from inside me. I could not understand what was going on, so I ignored it and kept moving towards the palace, where I guessed they would be.
I guessed it right. They were both in the palace, sitting on the throne with majesty and an aura that was mind-blowing. I walked in after the guards opened the door, and it was like I would get swallowed in an unseen ocean. The fierce eyes of Selene on me were nothing to be compared with
The moment I entered the palace, the door was shut by the guards, and I was left facing the deadliest gaze of my life.
“Why are you here?” Lucian broke the little silence with his harsh voice. He seemed to be concerned, so I showed my face. Maybe there was still a bit of pity and care in him for me. It should be so since we have really been together for a long time.
“I am here to help. To ask for forgiveness and…”
“Why
Why are you asking for forgiveness?” Selene cut in, standing on her throne.
“Please listen to me. I have repented. I swear, I am here to help you in everything you need.”
“Cut the cr a p, boy… First, why are you repeating this now! And secondly, when did I ask for your help and make the announcement that I needed help? If I need help, will I seek it from an enemy? The same person my blood is burning to kill? Make it make sense!” She scoffed.
“I know…” My knees went down as I bowed to show my loyalty. “I want to follow the way of light, I will tell you everything about Diana, especially where her hidden cave is and all the plans she has told us about. Please, there is a little I can be of help with. My sister is also being forced to be with her. I just want to…
“Your voice triggers every single rage in me, and it is still a miracle that I didn’t attack you in the deadliest way, tearing you bit by bit. I don’t need your help, and the only thing I want you to do for me is slit your throat. I want to want you to die.” She seethed through her teeth, her eyes really flinting.
“I will do that if you promise to save my sister from that demonic woman, Diana. If you promise, she will be kept safe and…”
I couldn’t finish my statement before the empty chair beside me lifted and a hard strike at my head caused me to fell to the ground, bleeding with throbbing pain and hitting my skull unbearably.
I cried out, holding my wounded head.
“I should protect the girl who joined hands with you to ruin my life. All I want is to see you all die in a gruesome way, and that’s why I am back here. To give you all you deserve. If I don’t turn this way, none of you will repent or decide to side with me. f u c k you all!” She spat, stepping down from the throne.
I opened my mouth to start telling her the secrets so she would know I was bluffing when I said I would help her get Diana. but just then my head went blank and I could not talk any more.
“You said you would tell me the secrets of Diana, especially where this secret cave is. Let me hear you. Maybe I will change my mind and not kill you after making you go through hell. Talk now.” I heard her say the words I was praying she would say. This was the reason I came here to get her to listen to me and agree for me to side with her and help in bringing Diana

down.
But strangely, my brain had gone blank, and something seemed to be functioning abnormally inside me. I stared at her and began to laugh. I was laughing and couldn’t control it. Something else was laughing through me against my wishes.
“What is funny?” She growled, her fangs appearing and claws taking place of her lingers, the danger in her and becoming so frightening, yet I could not stop myself from laughing this stu p d laughter.

“Bit h, you will get devoured by Diana. You are nothing but a puppet in her eyes, and I was sent by her to tell you to wait for your death because she will strike you down when you least expect it. You thought I would tell you anything. Fool!” My lips nioved, and these words were rolling out of my mouth uncontrollably.
And there and then, I heard the laughter of that same voice that whispered to me earlier. I realized it was the heart demon controlling me.
I am dead
