Diana's POV
I knew mocking Amelia would hurt her, and a little portion of her own poison wouldn't kill her, “I thought.
“What Diana! She exclaimed.
Amelia fumed with Diana's tone, “I know how to punish you sister, “she said as she ordered her guards to drag me along with her.
I had no strength in me to argue with her, but I was satisfied with my reply to her; I needed to give them a dose of her own medicine once in a while. She ordered the guards to lock me inside my room for twenty-four hours without food or water. I smiled because this is not the first time in three months that I have been working as her maid that she had locked me up as punishment but she is missing something here.
Amelia had forgotten I used to do without food and water for three days before. I used those days as a cleansing and healing period, and it has helped me grow. Even my wolf, which has refused to show itself, does come around during those days of keeping myself.
I checked my wall clock, and it was exactly noon, which meant I would be released at noon the following day; luckily for me, the room Ameligavee ha had a bathroom, which meant I always had everything I needed.
I cleaned up and picked up one of the many meditating books I have, I read for some hours and slept off, but I was woken up by something more scary, something that came from within, harsh and hot feelings from within, even though it felt like before but different, I suddenly felt my eyes burning, and my fingers shaking terribly, I rushed, I was so scared because the feeling felt rok strong for me to handle.
I decided to pour water on my head to cool down, but it was just the same; my eyes suddenly saw something on the broken mirror in my bathroom, my eyes were gleaming, and my hair had a few strands of white hair, then the voice came whispering. “Diana, I'm here.”
I was shocked; I looked around, trembling, and then the voice spoke again, “I'm your wolf, you scary cat”.
My jaw dropped; for the past twenty-three years of my life, and since I have been practicing meditation, my wolf has never spoken to me, “My wolf…, “I stuttered.
I wanted to scream, but the voice came, showing herself a beautiful silver wolf with green eyes, shining and beautiful. I just couldn't control my joy, I screamed but covered up my mouth to reduce the noise, “I'm Diane, your wolf, “she said again.
I have a thousand questions to ask but I was overwhelmed. Now, I am not wolf-less; I have a wolf, and not just the regular wolf like the others, but a silver wolf that symbolizes royalty, strength, and uniqueness among the werewolves.
“What took so long before you showed, “I questioned my wolf. It took a while before she answered, “You have a unique wolf and if I had shown myself, we might have died a long time ago. I smell jealousy around you whenever I try to come out, “She answered.
I understood her, but if she had come out earlier, I might not have lost Lucas; I might still be ruling beside Lucas as his Luna, “I thought.
“ You know I can hear your thoughts clearly Diana, “My wolf stated.
I must have forgotten that I now share my thoughts and feelings with my wolf, “ Diana, make you stay alive because I can feel our helper is on the way, “She said, and I burst into a loud laugh.
“Helper! “I exclaimed.
I know one thing for sure: everyone in this pack obeys Lucas and Amelia, and I know Amelia won't let anyone help me or even save me.
I had a fun time with my wolf; it was a beautiful night. I didn't know when the day would break until I heard my door creaking.
“Diana, cover up your hair; it will be bad for us if anyone sees the white strands on your hair, “My wolf warned, and I quickly picked up a bonnet to cover my hair while I stood firmly by the door.
Amelia walked in with two guards, “Sister, I hope you enjoyed your night of starving, and I believe you have learned your lesson; it's just eighteen hours into your punishment, but I will release you now because Mother said I should, “Amelia said.
I was not happy with the release, though; my wolf was keeping me company, and I really enjoyed having a chat with the wolf. I made up my mind to be more calm with Amelia and Lucas. I have to live till the help comes to save me like my world told me.
“Diana, you go work in the kitchen with the other maids assigned to help the chef with the preparation for my engagement with Alpha Lucas, “she said to spite me, but I was not even angry.
Despite Amelia's harsh and angry tone, I didn't let it bother me; the presence of my wolf within me had awakened a deep-seated longing within me, a yearning to break free from Amelia and Lucas's b*****e. My stomach rumbled, the last meal I had was the breakfast I ate with the other maids at the apartment. Now, I'm famished but I could hold myself till I get to the kitchen with the other maids.
Amelia's expression brought me back to life; I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't remember she was still standing beside me with her guards.
“Do you need anything else, Luna, “ I asked.
She looked pissed, then I grabbed her reason for being angry, but I was not ready to give the word to her never, even if she put a sword to my neck, I wouldn't say it.
“Are not supposed to be grateful for pardoning you, “ She muttered.
I smiled and turned to walk away from her. I will never say that word to her, she didn't deserve the word from me. What am I grateful for from her? She has been nothing but evil towards me.
“Diana,...she called and paused for a minute before she continued.
“Why do you have a bonnet on, “she questioned and I was shocked.
