Chapter 58 
Ria’s POV 
I don’t know how long I had been in this house, but I knew it was long enough to make my brother come to get me. It was long enough to give him the courage to find me and bring me back home. 
Even if he is angry that I didn’t leave with him that day, isn’t it already dissolved? Or is he scared of death? Scared to fall into the hands of Diana? 
Maybe that was the reason Diana still kept me in this place. She made sure I stayed in this room in the royal pack house all day and night without leaving, just to draw my brother to me, and she would then take the opportunity to get hold of him. 
Right now, I know nothing about her plan, and I can only guess. She has removed me from her crew while planning how and when to attack Selene and her mate. The promise she made to me about getting Lucian is all gone, and I know it. 
I don’t have any hope of that any more. Instead, I feel so bad and stupid for trying to force myself into the life of a man who doesn’t want me. It was clear that I wasn’t the one for him. Not even the moon goddess made that happen. Selene was his mate, which he confirmed with her smell 
It was so foolish of me to keep fighting against fate. Now it has backfired. Selene is the one to save me, and now that I have made myself her enemy, do I have any second chance of being rescued, or will she come in here with her full force and wipe me alongside Diana? 
A deep breath and hiss were what I let out as it crossed my mind that it was actually possible that my brother was killed by Selene when he left me and went back to meet her. I didn’t want to think of that and was making sure I set my mind positive. 

But for real, it could be, and that clearly explains the reason he hadn’t made an attempt to rescue me after so many months. 
Shivers ran down my spine, beads of sweat forming on my forehead as I sat on the bed with my knees raised cheek, staring at the space.

The room was just blank, containing my bed and a table where my food was being served. Diana hasn’t said anything to me about my future or what she was going to do to me, but I’m sure there was no way to get Lucian as she promised. All I want now is to go back home. I need to know if my brother is alive or not. 
I just need to meet my family member. I need to start my life afresh and get the kind of future I desire. 
As I sat there, eyes shut and tears dropping down my cheeks, I began to reminisce about the past and how stupid I had been. all my life. 
A knock sounded on the door at that moment, and it creaked and opened. It wasn’t time for lunch, so I expected it to be Diana, so I didn’t raise my head because I was tired of seeing her face. 
I don’t know what she might be here for, and I don’t care to know. I just want her out of my life. I need to leave here before I go crazy. 
“Hey.” A deep, strange voice called out, and I flinched, looking up because this was not the voice I was expecting 
A man dressed in a warrior uniform was standing in front of me, his dark eyes piercing into mine as he dipped both of his hands inside his pocket. 
“What are you here for? Did she send you to kill me? Just do it quickly, please. I am tired of being alive. I’m tired of sitting in this room like a statue without even knowing what my life is all about.” I swallowed hard, tears falling freely down my eyes, uncontrollably. My heart was racing, and sweat was on my face, 
I was feeling so much pain. I don’t know why seeing the guy just spilled all my emotions as if they were locked up somewhere in my heart for a long time. 
“I am not here to kill you. I was just curious about who is in this room, seeing how the maids sneak in here with food. Diana”

warned no one to come in here, but I decided to disobey her and come to see who was in here. I’m shocked to see a beautiful girl stuck in here. Diana locked you up.” His brows arched as he scanned me from head to toe, those eyes getting 
softer. 
“So you aren’t here to kill me. But can you do it anyway? I am serious; I don’t want to be alive. My life has no meaning.” I cried more, burying my face in my palm as more tears poured. 
“Don’t you think it’s possible to get rescued? Have you lost hope already? You shouldn’t, because I was once in this kind of situation, with my stepparents being so horrible for me to cope with. My life was traumatic, but I was able to cope. I was able to fight back, and now here I am. At least I can proudly say I am proud of who I am.” He spoke with so much care, then. walked closer to me. He slowly held my hand. 
Our eyes locked together, and I could see how really handsome he was. Like his eyes and pink lips, with well–shaved beards around his chiseled jaw. The way he smiled was just so cool. 
“There is still hope.” He said it to me. 
What hope? I don’t want to keep living in this delusion. It’s clear that there is no way I will get out here alive. I know you think there is hope because you don’t know who Diana really is. I know her, and I know for sure that there is no hope, not only for me but for you and every wolf in this pack.” I said this and lowered my head in sadness.
