I am a Queen.

"Why do you look surprised" Ian faked a frown.

"I have found a mate in one of your pack members and trust me you will be very delighted to know who it is" he chipped as he pulled himself close enough to Luke so he could hear him.

"Diane" he said in a low whisper before bursting out in laughter.
"Funny isn't it?" He asked but Luke did not respond, hell he couldn't.

The words that had escaped from Ian's lips were like thunder bolt striking him whenever they saw an opportunity to.
He did not want to believe in Ian's words but he knew Ian's appearance in the pack on a day supposed to be special for him was not for mere discussion or catching up on the past, it was for this, surely Luke had long realized that if Diane was not his mate then she could had been mates to one of the vast number of Alphas out there, never in his life did he expect that the moon goddess would be brutal enough as to make this deadly match.

"What?" Ian asked when Luke kept silent.
"You don't believe me? Then why don't you call her out" he suggested.

"Leave, Now" Luke ordered in anger, the thought of his lover being mated to such a man angered him, he knew very well that if Ian were to take Diane as wife it would be to make her suffer.

"You do not seem to know just how much I despise disrespect" Ian said as his deadly features surfaced.
He and Luke were about to clash deadly when Diane stepped in the middle of it all.

"Stop!!" She ordered as she stood in between the sharpness of claws and deadliness of fangs.

"You are here" Ian smirked trying to spite Luke.

"Diane" Luke said checking her for scratches with no regards to whoever was present.
"I'm fine Luke" she said but he didn't stop.
"It's alright Luke I'm fine, so stop, people are watching us" she said the last words in whispers.

"Let them watch, I do not owe them any explanation" he replied.

Diane could feel the eyes staring at her but none of them stung like the way Rose stared at her, she could see the pain in her eyes as she turned away from what was going on, dashing into the Alpha's residence, her new home.

"Watching you give my mate such exclusive attention don't you think of what you are doing to me?" Ian asked, Diane seemed to be lost very lost.

"Leave" her tiny voice said.

"Why? Is it because you are almost at breaking point? Is it because you'll yield if I stay a bit longer?" He asked whispering into her ears. She could see his effort to spite her.

"Leave" she said once again.

"For how long do you want to deny it? Slowly I'll be on your mind when you breathe, when you eat, when you sleep" he said in a low tone, it sounded almost like whispers.

"Rest assured, you have become the monster that plagues my sleep" she replied coldly with a harsh tone and hush voice.

"Only a monster that plagues your sleep?" He asked, then chuckled.

"That is very little a title don't you think? I think I should be the bane of your existence" he said smiling.

"My life is not in your hands there is no way could be the source of my misery, I will never allow it" she replied angrily.

"Your life landed on my palms the day the moon goddess fated us to exist for each other" he deadpanned.

"Enough!!" Luke shunned.

"No you keep quiet, you have a wife don't you?" Ian asked.

"You go make conversations with your wife as I am having one with my wife to be" he continued.

"I learned a few things.." He looked at the both of them.
"That you and my mate here had something going on the past" he smiled.

"Well I'd like to believe that it is all in the past and you wouldn't be as inconsiderate as to ignore your beautiful wife just to follow after another man's mate, or are you?" He asked before laughing.

"I'll be gone now Diane but you have not rid yourself of me, you might never be able to, do prepare yourself for our wedding" he said getting into the mercedes with Logan.
That day they both left unscathed, but they did more than just scathing her, they shattered her into a thousand pieces.

She could feel her legs grow weak as the car drove out of the pack, she stumbled but Luke caught on to her.




Ian woke up surprised, most of the memories in his dream was not his, yes he had been there on that day but there was no way he would had witnessed what happened in the garden, it felt like he had an omniscient view of everything, like his memories and Diane's memory were intertwined.

Cold sweat trickled down his confused face as he walked towards his mirror, his claws, fangs and canine had all gone back in but the darkness of his green eyes were very evident.

He breathed in and out continually till he could control the rhythm of his breath.

Logan walked in through the door, shocked to see Ian standing.

"You are up" Logan said as he walked towards Ian.
"And your wolf is properly contained deep with you" he said noticing that his fangs and claws had been properly contained inside him.

Ian turned slowly to face him. His dark green eyes bore right into him.

"It would seem it has not so properly contained itself yet" Ian deadpanned.

"How is she?" He asked after Diane.

"She woke up crying yesterday and has been gloomy ever since, it would seem she has no memories of what happened" Logan replied.

"She's has no memories of it?" Ian asked and Logan nodded in response

"And I've been out for two days?" He asked once again and Logan nodded in affirmation.


Ian walked out of the room, he had questions he needed to ask, conflicts he had to resolve, he allowed his feet to sway him, till he was only but a foot away from Diane's door.

He grabbed on the door knobs and twisted it open.

Diane was lost in her thoughts she had not noticed that her doors had been opened or that a fierce green eyed creature had walked into her room, his deadly aura could not be felt by her weary heart, she just sat on the bed with her knees up to her chest and her arms wrapped around them.

Ian stood still for a while, watching her wallow in self pity, he had been so caught up in the emotion and everything he did not notice quickly that she had looked up.

Their eyes met momentarily and almost immediately she spun out of the bed, and rushed to meet him, grabbing him by the collars of his shirt.

"You monster" she gritted her teeth as she spoke, the tear slowly dripping from her eyes, her solid focus was on his dark green eyes, it was the type she had seen in her dream.

"You demon" she cursed.

"You will never get what you want" her eyes searched her although she was not sure what they were looking for.

"I already did don't you think?" He asked laughing, he had been totally down but seeing Diane look so helpless gave him a new feeling of happiness.

"Is this about Luke?" He asked.
"Ouch, it hurts, watching my mate feel so helpless for someone who is not me" he mocked.

"Oh did I say mate I meant wife, we are married after all or aren't we?"

"The heavens curse this marriage, the earth curse this marriage even i myself curse this marriage, what marriage is this? I was invited to my own wedding" She said.

"And you came, doesn't it speak of your love for me?" He jested.

"You threatened me, you said you had Mrs Raez" she deadpanned.

"Did I? I don't remember" he laughed.

"It's fine, you don't have to remember all by yourself and when I help you remember I'll ensure that it is carved in your memories, so that you can never forget it, I will never be your puppet, I will rather die than lead my beloved to his death" she said.

"Your beloved? It's no surprise Rose thinks so lowly of you" he chuckled.

"I can never be as low in her thoughts as you are in mine, and let me make it clear to you I too will become the bane of your existence, I will not allow your alter ego ruin me, ruin everything I have worked for, ruin everything I have spent my life training for, my Father's effort, my mother's time, the Alpha's love?" She said.

"I am no puppet, neither am i a castaway, I am not broken, I am a queen"
