Three Months Later.
Diane heaved a heavy breath, the first she had in the past three months.
"The Alpha asked me to bring you" Alla repeated.
That was the first time in three months that he was sending for her, she learnt late that he had been away but she was glad regardless.
She sighed.
Deep down she wished he would disappear forever, she readied herself to meet Ian not sure of what to expect.
She turned to Alia, who just stared at her, it was a common thing for the maids to look at her in a certain kind of way, afterall she was an unidentified woman living in the Alpha's house.
"Shall we?" She asked and Alia nodded leading the way Ian's room.
Once she got to the door Alia left.
She breathed slowly before walking in, wearing confidence like a mask on her fear, she had decided that she would not be weak for Luke's sake.
She grabbed the door knob trying to push it open when the door suddenly flew open crashing her body solidly against the figure in front of the door, she caught a whiff of that cologne, it was his signature scent.
She could feel herself melting in his arms, as she looked up their eyes met, it took her a second to gather herself and pushed herself away from him.
"Ahem.." She cleared her throat in the awkwardness of the moment.
"It would seem as if you missed me, so much you couldn't resist grappling me the moment you saw me" he teased and she sneered.
"As if.." She replied boldly.
"It would seem more like you needed to see me after returning from wherever it is you left for the past three months" she countered.
"You even counted.." He smirked.
"Sounded like you missed me greatly, I am impressed" he mocked.
"I have good news for you" He said before she could reply him.
She looked a bit troubled unsure of what he would say.
"Luke is planning a war and I'm guessing it is for your sake" he deadpanned.
"Soon enough your lovers head will be in front of you, good news is it not?" He laughed, she could feel fear creeping underneath her skin and making it way into her heart. She made no change in her facial expression, trying her possible best to look unbothered.
"What? You are not surprised? It seems you are over him already" he mocked but she did not reply, she was shocked.
"Are you wondering how I know?" He asked.
"Luke is trying to form war alliances with other packs before he rises up against me, quite cowardice isn't it?" He smirked.
"Anyways in his bid to form those alliances he met the Water Valley pack Alpha, an Ally to my pack, he plans to fight me for the position of the Wolf King" he said with a flash of anger in his eyes.
"What I am going to do to your tiny pack, Lee Diane, I am going to enjoy every bit of it" he said.
Diane felt the air in her lungs disappearing but she managed to maintain her composure.
"Is that it?" She asked calmly, like she was not frightened by anything he said.
"Is that why you needed to see me?" She feigned disappointment.
"I thought it was cause you missed me" she said shabbily.
"Well this is quite better news isn't it?" He smirked.
He knew she was scared of everything he had said but she was trying to hide it.
"Since that news leaves you disappointed why don't I leave you with a better news, from now on you will be in charge of cleaning this room, like my personal maid" he said and her eyes widened in shock, the expression he had waited for.
"Why do you seem surprised?" He asked.
"I will do no such thing" she replied.
"Why?" He asked coldly walking towards and pulling her close with his hands wrapped around her waist.
"Do you think you are the Luna of this pack? No, you are just a pest living off me" he gripped her waist tightly as his breath trickled on her face.
She grunted slightly from his rough handling of her waist making tiny but futile movement to free herself from his hold.
"Earn your stay Mrs Luther, if you refuse to I might as well kill Mrs Raez for real this time" he deadpanned.
Her eyes stung as she stared at him with contempt.
"Why don't you just die Ian, DIE!!!" She screamed in his face as a tear dropped from her eyes.
"Kill whoever you wish to, I will not bend to your will" she deadpanned with a firm resolve.
"Will you be willing to let her die like that if you found out that she was your mom sister?" He asked smiling before releasing her.
"What do you mean by that?" She asked but he did not reply.
"Are you happy?" She asked and he nodded.
"The Moon Goddess favour can never be with you Ian Luther, you will not succeed" she said bringing her face closer to his face enough to realise that his eyes had return to their normal shade.
"Oh but I already have" he replied.
"The Moon Goddess favors started being with me the moment you and I met and became mated to each other" he said.
"You have no idea what your presence in my life will bring to me" he said with a touch of sarcasm.
"I rather stay oblivious" she replied, she did not want to have any knowledge of it, she did not need to know the different ways he could use her to destroy her pack.
"But I am surprised Diane, I thought you are Luke were madly in love but it seems you are more bothered by serving me more than the life of your lover, well I am not saddened by it, I can never be sad cause my wife stopped loving another man" he said.
"Your wife? Don't address me by such lowly title" she said and he chuckled heartily.
"Well, you are even lesser than the title" he deadpanned.
"I'm done playing with you, Get Out" he said and she complied, she was not interested in staying in a room with him.
Once she was gone Ian sighed as he rested on the bed, he had left for three months because he had his room under repair because of the Incidence between himself and Diane.
When Diane got to her room she crashed to the ground in hot tears breathing profusely, she felt the need to protect Luke.
