Nothing Logan
The news of the gathering had also gotten to Luke, as he sat on his seat wondering what his next action would be, the first thought that came to his mind was that of Lee Diane, there was a probability that she would attend and that would be a way of seeing her for the first time since the rain incidence.
A tiny smile crept up his worried face as he placed his hand thoughtfully on his cheek.
Rosalyn watched her husband from a distance, he looked bothered yet he was still smiling at first she was fine with it but when she thought of the reason why he could be smiling her thought went sour.
He had not spoken to her ever since that day and this time it was worse than before, he was literally telling her to go to hell, she felt bothered.
'I won't let you slip from me' she said to herself, slowly retreating, she knew better than to cause her husband problems or push him farther from her than he already was.
She would leave him with space and let him come to her when he is shattered.
As she retired to her room different thoughts flowers through her head, thoughts of what would happen if Luke is not stopped or even worse, thoughts of what she would do if he succeeded.
She had always thought she would be okay with Luke taking in a second wife, anyone who wasn't Diane, she would be fine, some times she would even convince herself that she was fine with Diane coming into their lives so as long she does not try to take her position, but looking at it now, there was no way she could convince herself.
Her eyes spurred hot tears, as she entered her room she shut the doors tightly crashing down against it.
"I really don't want to share my husband" she cried as she spoke.
She wrapped her hands round legs convinced that she would go to the extreme to keep her home.
If she couldn't get to Luke, she would find a way to get to Diane, the one who held her marriage in her hands.

Diane had cooked up many plans on how she would get her position of Luna but none seemed feasible and all pointed to one thing, she could not let Ian get married to another wolf.
The moment for Ian's engagement had come and the villa was beautifully prepared to receive guests.
Diane had been let out of her room and prepared for the ceremony, as much as she hated being there it was nice to finally come out of her cage.
She had been forced to wear a handless red dress and adorned beautifully in makeup, the special treatment seemed especially weird for her but she was in no position to question, by the time her attendants were done she looked exquisite.
Looking at the decorations she felt hurt, she had not been given the luxury of a beautiful wedding procession as she had dreamt of but instead she had to watch the husband she loathed give this luxury to another woman, maybe this was what he wanted, maybe this was what he stood to achieve adorning her as though it was her own ceremony, her anger, her pain, her hatred.
The villa was soon swarming with guests and soon enough Lilian walked down the staircase hand in hand with Ian but his eyes was fixated on someone else.
"Maybe red was a wrong choice" he cursed underneath his breath as he stared at her among the other guests.
"Did you say something?" Lilian asked and he turned to her.
"You are yet to submit your account to me" he said and she frowned slightly.
"Cut me some slacks, it's our engagement today can you not ask me such in front of the guest?" She asked in whispers and he frowned.
"I will not be so light with Disobedience next time Lilian, if you are going to be my wife, then you should learn to abide by what I say" he said with a low growl and Lilian found herself nodding in fear, that was the first time he had shown her aggression.
"I would like to excuse myself" she said letting go of his hands as she hurried away.
Logan had noticed his sister strange movement and followed behind her.
Meanwhile Ian and Diane had been exchanging eye contact for a while and she was about to turn away when a body contact forced her to, someone had bumped into her, he bowed his head in apology and she nodded, as she was about to walk away voice said.
"Hi I am Ares" he smiled.
Diane spared a second to look at his face, he was handsome with a beautiful touch of Scarlet eyes and hair.
Diane had not noticed that she has been quiet until her waved his hands in her face.
"I am Diane" she said.
"Well you are very beautiful miss Diane" he whispered bringing himself closer to her ear.
She smiled as she whispered.
"Thank you"
Just then the music in the background started playing.
"Do you mind dancing with me?" He asked and she smiled thoughtfully, she turned over to Ian whose eyes seemed to be writing an essay about her she smiled coettishly before turning to Ares.
"Not at all" she smiled taking the hand he had offered her.
He twirled her on the dance floor before they started dancing.
Ian called the attention of one of his servants.
"Run a check on that wolf" he said looking at Ares, the servant followed his trail of sight, nodding before leaving.

Lilian had felt her body trembling with fear as she relived what had happened inside.
She could feel the tears creeping down her cheek, goddamn it this was not how she had seen her engagement ceremony.
"What are you doing here?" Logan cold voice came at her from behind, she ran her hands on her cheek to dry her tears before turning to him with a fake smile.
"Nothing Logan"
