Chapter 62
Fear engulfed us both as we sprang away from each other, running after our clothes where we had flung them.
Her voice was all we needed to know that we were in trouble, and it seemed as if she knew we were both together inside as she continuously knocked, shouting at me to open the door.
I had to rush into the bathroom and reply to her from inside there so it would seem like I was taking my bath.
When we were both done dressing up, I hurried to the door and unlocked it. She walked in with her eyes red in anger as she glared at both of us.
“What is happening here that I had to stand at the door for almost one minute before the door was opened for me in my own house! she yelled, fixing her gaze at me and sniffing as if trying to get her answer from a trace of scent.
“Nothing. I am sorry. I was inside the bathroom,” I muttered, not realizing at that moment that I was making it worse with that excuse since I wasn’t the only one in the room.
“So he is also with you inside the bathroom, which made him not open the door for me, right?” She seethed, and I lowered. my head, lost for words.
“I’m sorry I took the protection too far. You are right; I was with her in there, but nothing happened between us. She….. “Get out of this room before I slit your throat now!”
Fred bowed and rushed out at a quick pace, as if he were being chased, while Diana glared hard at him..
Immediately after he was gone, she turned her gaze to me and smiled wryly as her eyes scanned my face.
“Why do you want to drag him in? It had always been between our circles. She said, her hands clasped behind her back as she walked to and fro.
“He is not among us. He was just doing his job and nothing else. I replied bluntly, my tone firm, to make sure she didn’t suspect anything. The way she looked at me showed she was suspecting a lot, and it wasn’t sitting well with her.
“Falling in love will only ruin my plan, and I don’t want it. He isn’t just doing his job but doing more than assigned, and I don’t like it. I don’t like it because that would bring distractions to you. I don’t free you for anything else than this mission. He is a distraction.”
“No, he isn’t!” I blurted, my fist clenching beside me, as I already knew where this was heading. Diana has no heart, and the only thing she cared about was to rule, gain power, and expand the territory for the demons.
If she sees Fred as a distraction, the next thing would be to clear him out of the way.
I was in doubt at first, so I gave hirm this work, and you both made it obvious and clearer to me. Don’t you both have a little bit of brain left? So your common sense didn’t tell you there must be cameras in this room? And I saw everything from the beginning to the end. How will I give you a room without keeping a watch on it? Do you even think at all? Or do you think I will not do anything if you fall in love with a werewolf, knowing you’re out to help me destroy them?” Her eyes blazed at me; the fire of evil was all that was in them.
“I will take him with me as you had
“Ahh, you will take him and his family? And his friends? His colleagues? His relatives. How many? And it won’t take time before you spill everything to him because he would want to know why I released you all of a sudden. I don’t want long talks; you know what to do.”
Her hand went into her pocket, and she brought out a dagger, handing it to me with a gesture for me to collect it from her.
“What am I using that for? I don’t need that to fight off the guard in the cave protecting the ancient sword. My brows narrowed, and the scoffed.

Chapter 62
“Stop acting dumb, bitch! This is for that stupid warrior, or whatever he is. Kill that man before you fall deeper in love with him and end up messing everything up!” She snapped, taking my hand and forcing it into my palm.
“You must be a joker. I am sorry, Diana, but I will never do that, nor will I let anybody do it. Talking about falling deeper in love. Sorry, because you didn’t say it earlier. I am already lost in his world.” I said, throwing the dagger to the floor as I moved back and plopped on the bed.
“If you don’t do it, I’ll do it myself.” She warned, and I scoffed.
“Then do the same to me. If you don’t kill me alongside him, I’ll kill myself.”
“And you think I care? You are not my only option. I can easily go get another Lycan to do this while you die, like a dumb
you are!” She snarled, and I only shrugged.
bitch
“It’s fine. Go get another Lycan then.”
You are really stupid, and I don’t expect that from someone like you. How will you even stoop so low to a mere werewolf when you are a Lycan? You can easily choose from any other…”
“Fred or no one else. I am tired of talking and need to sleep.” I cut her off, laying on the bed with the pillow on my face.
“I can see you think you are something to me.” She growled, and I chuckled dryly.
“Kill me if I’m nothing, and I promise you, that’s the beginning of your failure.”
She hissed loudly and stomped out, jamming the door like it was the cause of all her problems.
Immediately she left, and just quite a few minutes later, the door was opened again, and Fred snuck in, shutting the door behind her.
His gorgeous smile was everything I needed to brighten my mood. Every sadness vanished into the thin air as 1 jumped out of bed, hugging him tight, feeling the warmth that sank deep into my soul.
“I’m sorry.” He muttered, stroking my hair and patting my back softly,
“Fred, will you ever hate me for anything? Tell me one reason that would snatch away your love for me. How much do I mean to you?” I asked, tears forming in my eyes and my heart growing heavy as I thought of how he would feel to hear that 1 was going to help the demon destroy them.
Even though he won’t be among them, he would be heartbroken that the people he lived with as family would become slaves with no hope just because of me.
“Do you have something to tell me?” He said this as a reply, his voice soft as he broke the hug, then used his fingers to wipe away my tears. “Is it related to why Diana freed you from that bondage? What does she want you to do for her in return?”
More tears spilled, my body shivering as I looked into his innocent eyes, filled with love and passion. All that will be gone when he hears this. He won’t recognize me anymore, especially when he tries to stop me, and I strongly refuse
There was nothing that was going to make me not do this to gain my freedom. I can’t wait to return to my people, to see if my brother is alive, and to start a new life without anything to worry about,
“If you don’t want to tell me, it’s fine.” He’beamed, using his napkin to clean my tears.
“Why are you back here? Aren’t you scared Diana will find out about what we shared and come after your life? She doesn’t want me to have any relationship with a werewolf.” I told him, and he chuckled.
“That makes me wonder deeper who Diana really is. Do you know if she is a werewolf or a demon? Everything about her is just weird and full of evil. Only a demon will be this wicked toward a werewolf. She turned our Alpha into something else. Now everyone lives in pure fear.“)
I exhaled heavily, slumping on the bed as I remembered Diana had told me there were cameras in this room.

Chapter 62
“Fred, there are cameras here. Diana sees everything that happens in this room and sees us having . She knows everything, and I am scared about you now because she wants you dead. She even gave me a dagger to kill you off, or she will do it herself.” I spilled and flinched, fear evident in his widened eyes as he stumbled back in fear.
I could see his hands trembling beside him.
“Why does she want to kill me?” His voice was shaky, and beads of sweat were forming on his forehead. He was having a rush of breath, looking at me like I had the answers,
“You want to know why?” The voice of Diana came in from behind as she stepped into the room.
We both shuddered and turned our gazes at her.
“Please don’t kill me.” Fred muttered, glancing at me.
“Tell me why I shouldn’t kill you off. Tell me one reason, bastard!” She bellowed, her breath shallow and harsh.
“Because of her. We have a future together, and I don’t want to die and leave her all alone in this.”
“What nonsense are you saying, you foolish boy? She is the reason you should be killed, and you are here saying rubbish!” She scoffed, her eyes flinting with anger.
“I won’t be distracted from the mission. Just leave him out of this.” I said to Diana, and she rolled her eyes at me and walked away orice again.
“What mission?” That was the next question from Fred, but I gave him no response and walked out just the same way Diana had.
I can’t really wait to get the sword and end it all. Leave this pack with him, since he was even ready to elope with me.
Just as I stepped out on the balcony, a maid walked up to me secretly. The way her pace showed that she had something she wanted to hand to me without anyone finding out.

As our eyes n
I looked left and right, then followed her into the room. She was standing on the doorpost. She quickly shut the door.
“What is it? I noticed you were making signs for me to”
“Yes, yes. Please, what’s your name?” She asked, dipping her hand into her pocket. I hesitated a bit before replying,
“Ria.”
She then exhaled heavily in relief. “I finally found you. The description was not perfect, since you changed your hair color. , I was scared I might have picked the wrong person. You are the Ria.” She said it with a deep sigh of excitement.
I couldn’t help smiling back, as her smile was really contagious.
“Now what?” Tasked
“A goodnews. One of my friends told me to look for you and hand this letter to you. She said it’s from your brother and that she is his fiance.”
Immediately after I heard her mention my brother, cold shivers spread through me, and joy ran through my veins as I took the letter with so much happiness.
So my brother is alive and still remembers me.
