Diana’s POV
I was already waiting and expecting the 50 percent from Torian’s pack. This was the only option he had to prevent me from destroying them yet. I don’t have many grudges against him; that’s why I gave him such a little option–something as easy as that. Once he keeps up, I won’t hurt his people, and he can still live normally.
This evening, I received the most shocking news of my life–all letters that I had to reread multiple times to be sure my eyes weren’t playing tricks on me. It was unbelievable that I had to ask who actually brought it, thinking maybe someone had forged the letter, but they confirmed it was from Torian’s messenger, and the dead bodies of my men on his pack were also delivered, clear evidence that he had betrayed me.
My heart bubbled in anger, running through my veins as I tore the letter apart, gritting my teeth. This was the last thing I ever expected from him after he knew how suicidal he was. In his own eyes, I had killed his mother; that is enough to tell him how easy it will be for me to wipe out his own community.
He shouldn’t have done this for real. Whatever bravery or courage that snuck into him won’t be able to save him from my wrath, and his innocent pack members would now suffer for it. They won’t know what hit them or why, all of a sudden, the army of demons and possessed werewolves are slaughtering them.
“So Torian is ready for war? How prepared is he? How much can his men kill before they get wiped out? Or does he think some motivational ginger would fight the battelle from him?
“Arrange the men, best of all. A hundred. 50 pure demons and 50 werewolves were possessed by heart demons. I want you to kill like your life depends on it, but keep Torian alive because I want to handle him myself.” The commander in front of me bowed and walked out.
What must have given him the courage? The demon king beside me asked, and I shrugged. “I
t care what it was; it was just a little pity that he had offered his own people sacrifice over a little courage. I didn’t plan to destroy them, but he had pushed me off limits. Maybe I would have spared him if it was only the letter, but he went as far as killing my men in such a gruesome way. !
I was mad.
My body shook in uncontrollable rage. I really wish to join them in this war and pour my wrath on them, but it would taint my royalty. I was going to reserve it all for Torian when he was eventually brought to me.
“Do you think whatever gives him the courage to do this must be convincing enough? He really knew what to expect from this, so he went ahead. I think we shouldn’t act rashly and watch closely before attacking.” The demon king said something to me, but his words were really disturbing
I couldn’t imagine myself having to think thoroughly before attacking a small pack like Torian’s to be sure of the reason for his courage.
A knock came in at that moment.
“Who is that?” I shouted, and the response cáme,
“The scout. I had to check around Torian’s pack and found out he made the wall of his border stronger with some magical powers.”
“And we can’t break through?
“He underestimated our magic, ma’am; the men can still go through.”
I chuckled, my lips curling into a sardonic smirk.
“You all have to be fast and bring Torian to me. My biggest mistake was not sending him to the world where his mother is now. They should have gone together that day, so I don’t have to go through this stress.” I hissed and lay back on the bed

“You can go.” I said to the man behind the door, then turned my gaze to the demon king.
“I hope you now know what is giving him the courage… It’s definitely the border. That boy is more stupid than I thought he could ever be. I can’t wait to teach him a lesson he will never forget. So sad he won’t even live to regret his decision because this time, I will make sure to take his heart out.” I seethed, and we both laughed together.
Lucian’s POV
All I could think of was the pain Diana made Selene go through. That woman took away her joy and replaced it with agony. She crushed her and turned even her father against her, giving her emotional trauma.
All Selene had told me about Diana was pure evil, and I just couldn’t wait to lay my hands on her. I don’t care how powerful she may be or what dark magic she might be operating on. All I want is a fight, one that should be a death match in which
loser gets their throat slit open.
My hatred for her runs really deep into my bone marrow, and that was the sole reason I insisted on coming with her with the other Lycan warriors, hoping that she would join her army to attack Torian’s pack. I planned to use this opportunity to fight her and to pay her for every single moment she made Selene cry.
I was so ready, and even my inner beast kept growling and roaring in eagerness. It was taking time, and this was getting me pissed and frustrated as I thought of the possibility of her forgiving Torian and not sending her men to deal with him, not to talk of coming.
I shook that from my head tonight because I knew what I would do next if that was what happened. I know the plan was not to attack them directly, but if they don’t pass through the forest, I was sure to assemble my men straight to that pack where Diana is staying. In any way, I must deal a blow to Diana today.
I was still contemplating myself when I began to hear the distant cry of war. I heaved a sigh of relief standing up from the rock where I was sitting, a smug smile over my face as I turned to the men.
“I think our guests are on their way. Take positions!” I ordered them, and they all spread out through the forest trees and shrubs along the route. Once the whistle is blown, we all jump out and attack because that would be when they are close by.
I climbed trees, which gave me the opportunity to see them clearly from the front. If Diana comes with them, she will surely be leading in the front, so that is why I stayed in this position. Once I see her, I will know the moon goddess is kind to my needs. I don’t want Selene to stress herself over Diana. I can do it all for her at any cost, even if I get badly injured.
After almost an hour, the demon scent filled the forest, and their footsteps stomped closer and clearer. I peeked at the front and saw no one like Diana. It was just the demons and werewolves who didn’t seem to be in their right senses.
“Does anyone see Diana among them?” I asked my men through the mind link and got a negative response from them all. This really increased my anger, as I didn’t even wait for the whistle before jumping down from the tree.
“Where do you all think you are going?!” I roared at the crowd, and they all looked at me like I had gone out of my senses. The one in the front who looked like the commander stepped closer with his eyes squinted.
“You are the Lycan king, Lucian. What brought you here? This isn’t an affair that concerns the Lycans. It’s between us and the werewolf–basically, the wolves in the pack we are heading to. You won’t be blocking us, will you?” He said, scanning me from head to toe.
“No, I won’t be blocking you all; rather, I will be taking you all home, which is the hell to which you belong!” I snarled and launched a heavy blow to the side of his neck, a cracking, sickening sound heard loudly while he struggled with his life. Just then the whistle blew, and my men pounced on them like a storm.
I fought from the front, giving each that was unlucky to fall into my hands a really gruesome death. My kills were all overkill, as I made sure to feel it deeper and horribly.
We were done in almost an hour. Few were injured but no casualties, while all the men from Diana scattered all over the ground like grass, some parts of their bodies cut off and disfigured.
“One of you should tell Torian to go trigger Diana more with letters because I am not satisfied with killing these weaklings! i want her. I just desperately want to meet her facee–toface and settle things with her for all she did to Selene.” I told one of

my men, and he quickly rushed to the border.
I hope after the second set comes and can’t return, Diana will make the right choice of coming by herself.

Well, luckily for her, she didn’t show up. The second set, which had up to 200 demons, arrived, and it was actually a tough. fight for my men, but we succeeded. Although many were injured badly, none died.
It was the injuries that made us not send another letter. We all left that day happy that Diana had felt just the same way do. I know they have been recreated as demons and even possess innocent souls, but after this unexpected blow, she will realize the fight is close by.
It would be more shocking to her because she thinks all that was done by Torian since we made sure none of her men survived to be able to return and tell her all that had happened.
“How did it go through? Selene asked me for a hug as soon as I entered.
“Perfect except for injuries since we fought up to 300 of them. It went well though, but I would have been happier if Diana. had shown up.” I sighed, and he chuckled, tapping my cheek lightly.
“You really want to fight this woman.”
“Time to clean up, bathe, and get some sleep.” She kissed me, and I grinned with joy in my heart. Looking at her alone is just enough to make my day. I can’t really imagine life without her.
“Diana will be really in shock and confusion, wondering how Torian was able to do this. Although she will guess someone helped him, she can’t tell who.” I laughed.
“She will be able to find everything out in a short time, taking how smart she is; that’s why I plan on using my powers to create a dome over Torian’s pack.” She breathed as we both entered the bathroom.
“Really? I hope it won’t take you a lot of energy.”
“It will.” She answered, “But I have to do it. Diana intentionally didn’t go for this war. I can figure out how she thinks from my experience with her. She even sent the other army just so she would see how capable the force was. Now she is sure Torian isn’t the one; neither are his warriors.”Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
“So you mean she will still attack Torian’s pack?” I frowned. “Then I have to return to that.”
“You can stay in the forest forever. Diana must have calculated it all and seen that there could be only one clan able to kill such numbers of her men just to help Torian and get back at her. All her guesses are directed at us. Now she will stay back and wait for the appropriate time to destroy Torian and his pack. I swear it will be a disaster because she would unleash her wrath on them with all the rage burning in her from losing her men.”
My mouth gaped slightly as I thought of all Selene just said, and it was exactly what someone like Diana could do. Torian might be happy that we were able to carry this out, but he won’t be aware of the blow coming soon.
Diana is a demon queen, evil and overly desperate. She must have even found a way to know we are away from that forest. Even now, Torian might already be facing her wrath.
