CHAPTER SIXTEEN

  At the castle, Bella could hardly understand what was going on because everywhere seemed very busy. Diana had taken her into a bedroom and there were servants all over the place, ready to serve her anytime she wanted. She was vanquished. At that moment, she was putting on clothes she had never dreamed of wearing before and for the first time in her life, she didn't look like a servant. The baby she was carrying indeed brought her good luck, but she still had not discerned how it was possible for her to get pregnant. Every Shewolf in the wall street pack was barren because of the curse placed on them fifteen years ago. What was so special about her that she was able to conceive?

  That was a question she had no answer to.

  ********************************************

  "How is she?" Achilles questioned when he heard Diana's footsteps. The moment he took Bella into her new bedroom which happened to be in his chambers, he came into his bedroom to take off the bloodstained clothes he had on.

  "She's perplexed, weak and tired" Diana replied as she walked further into the bedroom. Achilles swerved to face her and all she could see in his eyes was turmoil.

  "How is this possible?" He finally asked and Diana quietly shrugged.

  "I honestly don't know. We are all supposed to be barren. This is a miracle!"

  "What I know is that this isn't normal, you have to find out from grandma what exactly is going on" Achilles persuaded and Diana subtly nodded her head as she let out a heavy sigh.

  "You know, everytime I communicate with grandma, she keeps talking about redemption. I have never clearly understood what she meant until now. Achilles you and I know what just happened isn't abnormal. First, Bella mysteriously shows up in your bedroom and you two have sex and then she gets pregnant. I have a premonition that all of this not happening for just no reason. There is something big on the way!" Diana expatiated and Achilles nodded his head as he sauntered around the bedroom, thinking critically.

  "I think this has got to do with Alpha D'argan. Remember what he did to us fifteen years ago? The massacre, the curses. I think this is the key to our redemption"

  "Exactly! And I know that this redemption won't come easy. The moment Alpha D'argan finds out about this, he will do all he can to strike back, to make sure we don't get powerful"

  "Yes he will, but he will fail. He succeeded in destroying this pack back then because we had no idea he was our enemy. Now that we know what he is capable of doing, we will be prepared for him and when he comes, we won't let him win. The Wall Street pack will be back to it's feet"

  "Most definitely"

  "I will like you to consult grandma. Seek advice from her and let me know what she says."

  "I will do just that"

  "Thank you. I'll be heading to my office now, I have a lot of work to catch up with."

  He said as he turned to exit the bedroom, but after a few steps, he stopped on his tracks and revered again. "Alexander has refused to pick or return my calls. I want you to reach out to him with your powers. Tell him about the pregnancy and the war that's ahead. That piece of information will surely bring him back to his senses"

  "I will do just that"

  "Thank you" Then he walked out of the bedroom. A dramatic smile formed on Diana's face as she followed suit.

  That baby was so greatly going to change her brother.

  Once Diana got into her chambers, she could feel her grandmother's presence. The cold weather, still wind and goosebumps that appeared on her body were signs that their grandmother was in her magic room, probably waiting for her. She hastily ascended the staircase and rushed into the private room, where she met her grandmother standing by the window, staring outside.

  "Grandma!" She called in excitement as she rushed over to her. Grandma Diana turned to look at her grandma daughter and a wide smile spread across her lips when her eyes fell on her.

  "Diana, I'm happy to see you again child"

  "Me too grandma. It's been a while"

  "Yeah, I know. And I can see that alot has happened"

  "Oh grandma, a lot has transpired. In fact, we are all frightened about what is going to happen next."

  "It's time for the Wall street pack to be redeemed. I gave D'argan fifteen years to enjoy the power he stole, but right now, it's time for him to go down, for him to pay for what he did to my people. However, this redemption won't come easy. You all have to stay strong and united, you all have to fight because the moment D'argan learns of that pregnancy. He will come for the child and if he succeeds, you are are doomed… again" Grandma Diana explained with all earnestness and Diana's sucked in a deep breath out of nervousness.

  "That's… that's intense and scary" She cried.

  "I know it is, but you are are ready for this. I gave you fifteen years because I wanted you all to be mature enough to fight. Diana you are going to be the leader of this battle. You have the powers and the knowledge to go about this war"

  "Grandma I don't think so. Right now I an clueless as to what's going on. How can you say that?" Diana asked frightened and her grandmother held her hands and kissed them.

  "Diana, you are me and I am you. You are a witch and all your witch ancestors are in you. You have their powers and their intuition. All you need to do is know how to access it. That's why I have been teaching you all these years. Right now is the time for you to apply all what you have learned because the fate of your people is in your hands. Your brothers, Bella and the baby she is crying. You all need to work together in order to win this war!" Grandma Diana emphasized and Diana nodded confindently.

  "Yes, grandma. We will do as you have said. However, there's something that baffles me"

  "And what is that?" He grandmother asked with a creased brown.

  "How is this possible? You placed a curse on all of the Shewolves, how is this pregnancy possible?" Diana asked curious and her grabd mother walked back to the window.

  "There is an entire story behind that possibility, but not all must be said and known at once. The time will come when you will know why and how it is possible, but now, what you need to do is protect that pregnant girl with your lives and make sure you win this war. Is that understood?"

  "Yes grandma"

  "I'll take my leave now. You know what to do to summond me whenever you need me" And then like a puff of smoke, she was gone.

  Diana groaned in frustration as she placed both hands on her waist.

  How was she going to lead a war when she her brothers were so difficult to deal with?

  "I'm my next life, I'm not going to be a witch" She declared as she stormed out her bedroom. Her next mission was to go over to Alexander's bedroom in his chamber where she would take one of his items and use to magically reach out to him wherever he was.

  She knew he was adamant to come because he wants to have nothing to do with being Alpha of the pack, he had long relinquished those rights to Achilles, but if he got to know what's coming, he would return home without a second thought!
