Diane could feel a warm pressure applied around her neck as her eyes opened slowly, everywhere was blurred up by her dirty vision but she could make out Ian figure sucking on her neck as her blood sipped into his mouth.
"You are not allowed to die like that" Ian deadpanned as he grew out his claws and dug it into his skin dropping the dripping blood directly on Diane's blood spiling from the side of her neck which had the mark.
"What are you doing?" She asked feebly.
"Marking you as mine in front of death" he kissed his teeth as he spat out the words leaving Diane a bit stunned.
"Don't close your eyes" he said once he noticed her eyes gently closing but she was unable to listen.
He jerked her up from the bed and rushed her out, drawing the attention of the attendants in the villa.
Diane could only notice the swift change in the environment as Ian rushed through different environment, Diane tried to speak but she was unable to, she closed her eyes but flunged it open again before finally shutting it.

Diane eyes flung wide open but she could not pinpoint where she was, the room was a scary pitch of black and she could sense that she wasn't the only one in the room.
"Show yourself" she said boldly and suddenly the lights came on, the room looked celestial and there were five female wolves the room their attires ranging from a touch of modernity to the ancient forms of dressing.
The face of the most ancient one looked quite familiar to Diane but she could not quite pinpoint where she had seen her.
"Is this the Luna that was prophecied to be the greatest?" The one who looked like she was from a modern generation asked.
"What a shame" the next in line deadpanned.
"A pity" the third followed after.
"Outrageous" the fourth said but the most ancient one was yet to leave a comment.
Their murmurs did not stop but Diane was not concerned, her eyes was fixated on the ancient one who looked like a copy of her, in hair color and eyes.
"I know you do I not?" Diane asked cordially.
"If you do, if you do not that's for you to answer" she replied.
"I see you in my dreams, most nights when I go to sleep, back when I was a little girl" Diane smiled lightly, suddenly remembering the beautiful woman in front of her.
"You've grown beautifully Luna Diane" The ancient one said.
"You were a real person" Diane said.
"If I can see you does that mean I am dead?" Diane said and the room burst out with different sounds of laughter.
"No"
"Then what is this place?" She asked.
"This place is called The harem of Luna's soul" The ancient one smiled.
"Then you all are.." Diane stopped.
"Yes, your blessed predecessors" The most modern one said.
"I am the past Luna Destiny Raez of the Evergreen pack" she introduced herself.
"I am the past Luna Diamond Raez of the Evergreen pack" the one who followed after her introduced herself.
"I am the past Luna Delilah Raez of the Evergreen pack" the next in line introduced herself.
"I am the past Luna Davina Raez of the Evergreen pack" the fourth introduced herself.
Diane was in shock at meeting the Five greatest Lunas to ever walk the earth surface.
"Then I am.." The ancient one was about to introduce herself when Diane cut in.
"Defitri Raez" she said like a child who had met her role model.
"Lady Defitri" she bowed her head in humility.
"I've read all the stories that exist about you, you are my role model" Diane said in a breath.
"When you were five you wished to see eye to eye with me" Defitri said.
"So you came into my dreams" Diane said and Defitri smiled in response.
"I am ashamed to stand before such greatness" Diane said.
"It's only right that you are" Destiny said.
"But it's not late to redeem yourself and make yourself worthy of standing in front of this great council, make yourself the greatest one yet" Defitri said.
"What do you mean the greatest?" Diane asked and Defitri smiled.
"In the days of scrolls and prophecies long before wars and packs existed the moon goddess left a prophecy in the heart of her lowest most faithful worshipper, that woman was the first woman under the name Raez, my mother" Defitri said.
"What did the prophecy say?" Diane asked.
"Be calm, in time you will know"
"The moon goddess embeds the prophecy in the heart of the Luna that they may view it once in their lifetime, your time is yet to come" Davina told her.
"Anyways, it's too late" Diane deadpanned.
"I failed, whatever prophecy had written for me I've failed in it" she said.
"It is only the dead that can confirm those words for as many as can confirm it, you live and the time of your prophecy is yet to come"
"He refuses to put me in my place, he wants to take another wife" Diane clenched her fist.
"Then stop him" Delilah spake for the first time after her introduction.
"Each and every Luna has a story to tell, a sacrifice they had to make, you are not the only Luna who was not chosen by her spouse" Delilah continued.
"I'm guessing you have a similar story" Diane said but Delilah did not respond.
"How? How do I claim what is rightfully mine?" She asked tears filled.
"A war just like the one that claimed my father is brewing once again and this time around it could claim the man I love, I want nothing to do with his pack and I am left with only but two choices, the first is to gain a stance in his kingdom and the second is that I be put to death" she said.
The females exchanged glances with themselves before Davina dare spoke.
"The moon goddess does not make a mistake in her planning"
"This is fate"
"For now go back Diane" a voice like a whisper said and Diane's eyes flew wide open.

Diane looked around the room, it was day already and the room was quite different from hers.
'I have a five day surprise package for you Diane'
