ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY SEVEN

**Dianna's POV.

I am now at the mercy of my killers. At this point, I know this was an assassination plot. And I know who could've plotted this, but I couldn't see them anywhere close by. I wanted to beg for my life, but no! I can't keep begging and being at the mercy of my enemies all the time. If I die now, I know I tried my best this time standing up to myself.

At this time only a miracle could happen, and if not, maybe I can try getting to my wolf form to change. But I was so filled with fear. I couldn't even think straight at that point, not just with the fear, but with so many body pains sustained from all the kicking and hitting. I tried to get my wolf form, I remembered there wasn't any mage here so I aborted the plans immediately.

I could only pray inside of my heart for a miracle to happen. I wished Rebecca or any of the werewolves that were protecting but not knocked could wake and fight for, but none was waking up. As I saw the werewolf bringing his hands down on my chest I knew he was coming for my heart. This was so scaring and a very terrifying way to die. I immediately closed my eyes and prayed to god to receive my soul in heaven since no miracle was insight.

'thuddd' so I heard a loud bang. I thought it was death at first. But my ears heard that correctly and I was still breathing. I immediately opened my eyes and the alpha trying to kill me was out of sight. I looked around, and to my greatest surprise, it was Neil.

"Neil!" I shouted his name in shock and fear at the same time.

"Why did you lie to me? Why did you have to put yourself in so much danger? You know very well I've enemies. Why did you go out so unprotected?" Alpha Neil said to me in an angry tone, yet with so much worry and tension in his face.

Alpha Neil came with an army of warriors. I couldn't count all of them, that wasn't the time to count, but there were so many of them. When did they arrive? How fast could they be? How did we not see them coming? I guess that's the power of the alpha Neil's squad.

Rebecca had one time told me that one of the abilities of the Neil and his men were their speed of attack, at the same time keeping their opponent unaware of their attack. And also for the first time, I could see Neil in his alpha form, and he even looked devilishly handsome and sexy at the same time.

"I'm so sorry, I wanted to help Rebecca and her friend. I knew telling you wouldn't work, and I never knew there was going to be an ambush. I'm so sorry my love, I'm so sorry, it won't happen again." I pleaded on my knees, knowing how angry he has gotten. But he got closer to me, he hugged me tightly and whispered to me.

"You still can't trust me, that I get. But I'm your husband and it's my responsibility to protect you. So please next time, don't take such hasty decisions and actions without my notice please." He pleaded. And then he looked at me afterwards.

"Hope you're fine now?" He asked with a less angrier looking face.

"I'm fine, just body pains." I replied.

He stood up immediately, he immediately commanded his men to attack the alpha. I watched and admired how Neil and his men fought valiantly against those assassins.

Neil, lunged at one of them landing a heavy blow on him while kicking another with both his feet one at a time. He then proceeded to the one who wanted to kill, and gave him so many punches on his belly, and finally using his claws to bury deep cuts all over his body.

But the alpha wasn't done, he said something that triggered Neil.

"Don't think we came alone. We've have back up plans too." The alpha said then whispered. And suddenly, two more alphas came out from the woods sans ran so fast towards me. I was so afraid as I saw the extra two angry looking alphas coming to kill me.

I closed my eyes immediately, knowing I was going to die because lies Nox was so far from me, and the extra were so close. But again, I was saved.

As I opened my eyes, I saw Neil writhing in pain. Other assassin alphas joined the extra two, they were so biting and tearing Neil at the back. Neil's men ran to protect him but more extra wolves came out from the bushes around blocking Neil's men from coming to protecting Neil. And Neil let out a loud howl.

"How I would love if I can watch the almighty alpha Neil die shamelessly before me." The assassin that tried to kill said while laughing out wickedly.

I turned back to Neil who was still howling and trying to get back but couldn't do much. He eye were now closing in pain, I could feel how weak he was becoming and could die at anytime if nothing is done. I was trying to think so hard on what to do. But that assassin couldn't let me think as he kept on talking.

"What do you expect from someone who isn't naturally supposed to rule. You don't have the powers that comes with the throne, you're just an ordinary alpha wolf looks any of us, and I guess you came to quick that you forgot to carry your magical crystal that helped you cheat your way to the throne." The assassin that tried to kill me continued and kept on laughing wickedly.

I wondered how the knew so much in great details. I remembered Neil telling me something like this and how nobody knows of this except, himself, his loyal subjects, and me. How did a total stranger get to know about this? This must surely be the doing of Alpha Luggard. This was the attack they've been planning all along.

But my husband was in great pain, I need to do something.

"Our alpha Neil going to die anytime from now. We've to do something." Rebecca struggled to utter some words as she woke up from her coma.

"I know, I don't know what to do. My wolf form isn't coming out!" I cried out in anger, frustration and pain.

brotherents later, Neil laid lifeless on the ground, with his face buried to the ground. All his body was so bloodied with so much deep cuts all over his body. I was so angry at this point, that I let out a loud cry.

While I cried, I saw something so familiar. I didn't know why it came now, but I need it. I'm willing to take this and defend the love of my life or else we will all die shamelessly. And of course, I need to protect the love of my life, no matter what it takes me to do it.
