Chapter 70
Selene POV
The moment I heard that Torian was at the door waiting to see me, my heart leaped. A surge of excitement was flooding. through me like waves, and I didn’t even know when I jumped from the couch with my pregnancy, speeding out of the door. Lucian was stunned; his eyes widened as he tried to ask me something, but seeing that I wasn’t even going to wait any seconds in the room, he swallowed his words and ran out with me.
Stan had left for some days now, and I hadn’t heard any news from him. He hadn’t come back to tell me how my
father was faring, and it had really disturbed the shit out of me as I began to think with the guess that he might be scared to announce to me that my father was no more.
Words can’t explain how relieved I was when Torian told me my father was alive. I know he would be going through hell, but his life was more important. If he ever died in the hands of Diana, I don’t know how I was going to forgive myself.
He asked for forgiveness and help, and I refused back then, but now I can’t bear it anymore. I couldn’t continue being that cold–hearted woman who would never help them out because they deserve to die for their crimes.
What my father and my pack did to me was horrible. It was too painful and unbearable to think of it, but no matter what, he is my father, and he has been the best thing to ever happen to me until that evil witch snuck into his life.
He deserves a second chance, and I will grant him that. I just had to find a way to make him stay alive until I gave birth. I might have my powers and can go to war with the pregnancy, but I can’t underestimate Diana and her legion; they may be stronger than I think they are by putting not just my life in danger but also that of my unborn child.
“Thank you for the meal” Torian said this as soon as he dropped the cup of water. He belched and took a deep breath, like he had just come back to life.
“I can’t remember the last time I had such a meal.” He added, leaving me surprised as I narrowed my eyes at him.
“What do you mean? Is Diana in your pack too? Why aren’t you being fed?”
He sighed in sadness and rubbed his face.
“She is taking 50 percent of the pack total revenue, leaving us with 50. That really affected my people, as many are subjected to hunger, so I have to sacrifice my luxurious life to at least make them eat. I still value my life, so I can’t think of disobeying Diana.” He hissed, his eyes getting wet as he stared at me with pleasure.
“Only you can save us from this. My mistakes are too many. I feel the guilt tearing my heart apart every day. When my people suffer, the blame presses against my heart and crushes it. It is just so much for me to bear. Please rescue us from that
woman.
“Does she know you came here? Does anyone know you came to visit me?” I asked, and he shook his head.
“No–I came alone without informing anyone.”
“That’s good. I will give you a ring that you can speak to me with, but don’t wear it all the time unless there is something you urgently need to tell me. The reason is that Diana will be able to recognize the ring in your finger if she sees it, and that would give her a hint that you are betraying her. I don’t need to tell you what that will cost you.” I warned, and he nodded.
“Can’t I just go and finish this woman so you don’t have to stress yourself? I can use my warriors and hunters, and I am sure she won’t be able to win. It might be tough, but I’ll surely kill her.” Lucian chipped in with concern. He really doesn’t like the idea of me going to fight any war even after I give birth
You will only be able to defeat her if she attacks you here, but going into that pack to fight her is just a suicide mission because you will only end up killing the werewolves there while she and her crew sneak through them to retaliate. That’s the whole point of her staying in the pack now instead of in their cave. She knows anyone could try to fight her.”
“Okay, but I still believe she is setting plans we aren’t aware of. Why don’t we at least make an attack and see how prepared she is?” He said that, and I snapped my finger with a huge smile, realizing how true what he said was. This is a really great

idea. And if, after the attack, we see that she isn’t that prepared, it will be a sucker punch that will eventually lead to the eradication of her and the other demons.
*Lucian, you are right. We need to do it, and since she won’t be expecting it, we are sure to get the upper hand. I guess she still thinks I won’t be helping my father out of this and will only be waiting to fight her when she attacks.”
“If this is the new plan, then I have an idea of how we should carry it out Torian spoke up, and we both turned our eyes to
him.
“Let’s hear you.
“My pack has fewer demons who are only in the royal pack house with me. They were sent to join in the arrangement and. articulation of the 50% that I send to Diana every month. We can trigger Diana to kill them, then close the border. She will sure send demon warriors to come and take revenge, and that’s where you all will come in. Right outside the border, in that thick forest, you can ambush every single man sent by Diana”
“Boom! That’s it!” I exclaimed happily.
“But what about your pack? Don’t you think it will cause problems in the future?” Lucian asked.
“No. The border will stay close, and I believe before Diana knows what hits her, she will have suffered great loss.” He replied, and I nodded. clapping my hand.
“Now you’re becoming more sensible and not that dumb head you were to reject me because of Diana and even put me into trouble that could have taken my life.” I deadpanned, and he sucked his teeth.
“Here is the ring.” I handed it to him. “It will be more useful now that we have an arrangement. So just make sure you keep me informed on when to come over to the forest outside the border. I won’t be there though, but the Lycan best warriors and my mate will assemble right there.”
We discussed other things, and when it was evening, he left. I felt at peace once again. Knowing for sure that my father is alive, and also having a plan on how to punish Diana. These really put smiles on my face. She won’t even know it was us ambushing her men since none will be allowed to live. She will send more, thinking it was the wolves, but will be shocked.
I just hope she goes by herself and gets killed by Lucian. That will be a big relief for me, but I doubt it. She is someone who is very careful in carrying out all her evil.
Torian’s POV
Joy was all that brimmed my heart, and for a second, I couldn’t stop smiling. This was great news, one that gave me hope. As I made
my way back, I whistled in happiness.
I got back, and it was already late at night, so I just went straight to my bed and slept off. I couldn’t just wait for the day to break, so I would visit my warriors, deliver the news to them, and also inform the border guards on what to do.
The warriors will join hands with me as we ambush the seven demons in the royal pack house. They won’t be expecting such a betrayal, so it will make it easier for us to get them unaware.
I will then send a message across to Diana to inform her that we aren’t giving her 50 percent again and have killed her men here. Then dare her to do whatever she wants. By then, the Lycans are already out there, braced and ready to attack
As I lay to sleep, my door creaked, and I jumped up immediately, turning on the light switch. I didn’t even know I hadn’t locked the door, but what stunned me more was that the person entered without knocking.
“I am sorry.” A tiny feminine voice came in as the light shone on her figure standing at the door with a black gown that was barely above her thighs, and they looked rumpled.
As I looked more carefully and scrutinized, I realized she had scratches and wounds on some parts of her body, like the knees and arms. Even her hair was so rough and disheveled.
“You are sorry for what? Who are you, and why didn’t you barge into my room without knocking? How did you even enter the royal…”

“I was running for my life, and this is the only place that feels safe. I am one of your maids here. Maybe you can’t remember my face anymore, but two of the demons tried to rape me. I slightly escaped, and they were pursuing me. Only here is the place I could think of where they won’t follow me.” She explained, and I sighed and gritted my teeth in anger, but chuckled at remembering that the days of those disgusting demons are numbered.
“So you want to sleep with me?” I asked as she locked the door and stepped closer with shaky legs, her head hanging low.
“I can stay on the ground, far away from the bed. Just to spend the night here.”
“What will you

be able to stop them?” She was shocked as she asked the question, and her eyes widened.
“will. Don’t worry.” I assured her, and she let out a deep sigh of relief. She was just lucky.
If I hadn’t visited Selene and gotten this whole idea, she would face the rape again because I wouldn’t be able to do anything to Diana’s men to avoid facing more wrath.
She tried to lie on the ground, but I stopped her.

“Go take your bath and clean up the stain of those disgusting demons that touched your body. Then come back and share the bed with me. It’s big enough for the both of us. The ground is cold, and I’m not that wicked to let you sleep there because you’re a maid.”
Thank
you very much, sir. Thank you….” she beamed, and for the first time, we were looking into each other’s eyes. Hers were blue and beautiful, I must say. And she was so innocent and cute as she thanked me and hurried to the bathroom.
