Chapter 41
.
” Where the fuck have you been?” Howard asked immediately as he sighted Diana from afar. Diana felt her instinct go wild at the sight of him, her gums hurt as her canine threatened to come out. She took a deep breath before talking to her wolf.
” Decanal No!”
” Why? I can just kill him now and move forward to your brother later” The wolf whined inside her head. She was slowly regretting that she returned Decanal to her body. Although she felt like she was complete again she still felt weird sharing her consciousness with another being.
” You promised” Diana hissed.
” Alright, I won’t do anything but I can’t promise not to do anything if he manages to make you angry”
She walked towards the house while having an internal banter with her other half. It’s hard to maintain your cool when all your wolf thinks about is homicide. Howard stared at her waiting for an answer but she said nothing.
” I asked you a question” He barked grabbing her wrist tightly and dragging her closer to him.
” Alright that’s it, I’m coming out,” Decanal said but Diana quickly built a mental block around the wolf preventing her from trying to shift. ” Fuck you!” Decanal growled in her mind. ” I have this under control, you will have all the fun on the wedding day, I promise,” Diana said to Decanal who already disappeared to the back of her mind. She looked up and snatched her wrist from Howard before replying to his question.
” If there’s going to be a wedding, I should at least have a dress,” She said coldly, opening the door and entering the building while ignoring his presence.
” You should have just told me not to sneak out of the house like some spy” He smiled warmly, flashing her his dimple while following her closely into the house. He was slightly happy that she was at least trying to make an effort for their wedding even though she continued to give him the cold shoulder. She didn’t even reply to him, She plopped herself on the sofa. Something was wrong with her body but she doesn’t know what exactly the problem is.
” Decanal?” She called but heard no reply. She could hardly feel the wolf, she smiled as a past memory flashed through her mind. She remembered how Decanal used to throw a mini tantrum by disappearing to the back of her mind anytime she placed a mental block around the wolf. That was before Decanal became feral and bloodthirsty.
” Hey, why am I feeling restless all of a sudden?” She asked but the wolf didn’t reply to her. She searched for Darryl through the blood link also but he was missing. Her head felt light like she was in a daze, and beads of sweat had started forming on her head. She wiped her head and just tagged it as the side effects of her wolf suddenly back in her body.
” So how was the fitting?” Howard asked handing her a glass of water. She took it eagerly and drank like she had been stuck on a dessert for years. She doesn’t even understand the sudden thirst. She dropped the glass of water and took another look at Howard, if he had not marked her in such a scary way maybe she could have willingly married him in an alternative universe of course, she wouldn’t leave her mate for another man. Darryl was the only person who could control Decanal, any other man would die from exhaustion or Decanal would kill them with her poison.
He was better, sweet, and caring before he marked her. Diana knew his love was sincere but his marking her made him crazy with a nonexistent mate bond. The mark on her neck was healing well, it didn’t look like it was infected again but her body wasn’t accepting it either. And half of his strength and abilities merged with Decanal already. She suddenly pitied him but there was nothing she could do about their situation.
” I only saw the dress, My brother said an Omega will come and adjust it tomorrow,” She said ignoring the slight pain on the side of her head. Something was wrong with her body but she didn’t know what it was.
” I can’t believe I’m finally marrying you,” He said with another smile that made her scowl immediately.
” Yeah, it’s hard to believe you will blackmail an innocent girl to marry you but here we are” She bites back bitterly. Her body was practically warming up on its own and Howard’s presence wasn’t making anything easy for her.
” It breaks my heart that you won’t even look at me. I loved you first even before he showed up”
” Even before he showed up? Seriously? I have known and loved him even before I found out that I am a werewolf. He saved me when I was still a weak and helpless human girl with an abusive father. You and my brother only found me when I shifted for the first time. Did you love me? Okay, what did you do when Decanal went crazy? You and my brother chained me down like a deranged animal until he showed up and rescued me again! He risked his life and gave me his blood so I could have control over my wolf! He gave up half of his lifetime for me! What did you do? Aside from being the sissy pants disguised as my brother’s Beta?” She said trying not to let down her guard and growl at him mistakenly. He couldn’t say anything because everything she said was true, He doesn’t deserve her but he couldn’t swallow the bitter truth. She stood up and went to her room. Locking the door behind her, She felt her body become hot like a dormant volcano just erupted in her stomach.
” Decanal!” She almost screamed, panting hard as her body became flaming hot. She tried to breathe slowly but everything was too painful. From the hair on her head to the nails on her toes. Everything hurt so much that she couldn’t help but cry.
” What the fuck is happening? Say something please” She cried holding her stomach. Her head pounds as her headache grows. Raw pain invaded every part of her body. She tried to count her breathing but she could hardly concentrate. Her legs ached as she tried to keep the heat between them to the barest minimum.
” I think we are going on heat” Decanal replied with a strained voice.
” Heat? Now? Oh no! This can’t be happening” Diana cried curling to a ball as she lay on the floor helplessly. She knew she couldn’t go out because of a certain Beta who would try to mate with her once he caught her scent.
” Let me take control. I know what to do” Decanal said but Diana shook her head no. ” I won’t do anything drastic, I promise.” The wolf pleaded in her head. She tried weakly to search for Darryl in the blood link but he was absent. She cursed as another wave of pain hit her. She moaned as she felt her eyes become wet with tears once again.
“Okay,” She said giving Decanal the control involuntarily.
