"The first message he sent wasn't as precise as this" Diana explained. They were all in a meeting in Achilles office, trying to figure out how Alpha D'argan knew about the pregnancy.
"I don't understand " Alex told her.
"Well, I read the scroll, and it was detailed. Alpha D'argan said he now knows that the pregnant She-wolf causing him problem is from this pack and he also said that he will be coming to get her"
"Well let him come, I'm going to rip out his heart and feed to the rogues!" Achilles threatened.
"Achilles will you please stay calm. We all want to rip that man apart one way or the other, but there's something here that we are over looking" Diana further explained and her brother's, together with Tony looked at her queerly.
"And what is it that we are overlooking?" Achilles asked calmly.
"Well, I reread the first letter Alpha D'argan sent. It wasn't as specific as this, it wasn't as sure and as detailed as this and so I have reached the conclusion that, by the time he sent the first letter, he had no idea the pregnant She-wolf was from this pack, but this second message makes us understand that he knows that the pregnant She-wolf is from this pack. He even knows that she used to be a servant in one of our households and that means two things"
"Which are?"
"It's either he has magical powers to consult the ancestors and seek information from them or, someone from this pack has ratted us out" She interpreted and the entire room fell in dead silence. All three men looked at eachother before turning to look at Diana who had on a no non-sense look. "I'm serious. This is not something he can just dream about, someone must have told him for him to be so sure"
"Diana, you do know that what you have said is something really serious right? If it happens that someone told on us then we have to find that person and deal with him or her accordingly. However, I suggest you talk with grandma about this. Let her conclude before we take any action"
"Grandma as in Grandma Luna Diana?" Tony asked shocked.
"Yeah"Diana replied with a nod and a smile.
"But.. but she's dead. She died fifteen years ago"
"Grandma's spirit lives onTony and I can always talk with her" Diana clarified and Tony calmly nodded his head but the baffled look on his face made everyone understand that he was stunned by that possibility.
"Alright then, in order to do things accurately, I will talk to grandma to get confirmation."
"That will be better"
"I'll take my leave now" She said as she rose from her seat and fled Achilles' office.
She left his chambers and went straight to her's. She needed to talk to grandma to get confirmation.
"If this information was leaked out by who I think it is, may the moon goddess forgive me for what I'm going to do to that person" she vowed silently as she walked on. When she got to her chambers, she went straight into her special room and a wide smile dissipated accross her face when she saw her grandma, sitting by the window in her white robe.
"Grandma!" She called enthusiastically as she closed the door behind her.
"Diana, how are you doing my darling?"
"I'm doing just well grandma. I can see you sensed that I needed you"
"Yes, I did. I had to come after I saw what happened. How have you been?"
"Oh Grandma, I want to say I'm stressed, but I won't. Ever since Alex returned, he and Achilles have been fighting every now and then. I always have to stop them from fighting and it is exhausting!" She complained and grandma just smiled.
"You are doing a great job honey, just keep it up"
"Thank you granny."
"And what about Bella? How is she?"
"She's doing okay. Achilles did something really bad the other day, but everything is fine now"
"I saw what you did, how you saved them both" Grandma said as she rose from the chair and walked towards her. "Diana for the seventy years I spent practicing witchcraft, I never did anything as dangerous as that. You transported three souls to the land of the dead and back without Losing any. You, my dear are an outstanding witch and I am not the only one who is proud of you, your witch ancestors are so proud of you. They asked me to tell you that" Grandma deciphered and Diana chuckled as a tear escaped her eyes. She quickly cleaned them off and looked up at her grandma.
"I… I… I just had to do something grandma. I mean, apart from the fact that that baby is the key to our redemption, he is my nephew too and I love him to bits. I could never let Achilles live with the guilt that he killed his own child. I just had to do something"
"And you were excellent at it my dear. That was a job well done. Like I said, you are and extraordinary witch and this pack is lucky to have you" Grandma further encouraged and Diana just kept sobbing and chuckling at the same time.
"Thank you grandma." She said wiping her tears away.
"You deserve it"
"Well… I came in here to summon you concerning something very disturbing. There was a rogue attack earlier today and a scroll was left behind. After reading that scroll, I came to a realization, but before I can act upon it, I need you to confirm that what I noticed is true" She explained and grandma just kept smiling at her.
Grandma Diana was very proud of how her grandchildren had turned out to be even though there was no one to raise them. The massacre accured when they were all very young and they were left alone to raise themselves, but they grew up just fine and have proven to be children bone of great leaders.
"Tell me what happened"
"The first time Alpha D'argan sent a letter, I read it and I understood that he had no idea the pregnant werewolf was from this pack, but this second scroll makes me understand that he knows and I'm just wondering how he knew about it. Could it be that someone ratted us out, someone from this pack?" Diana asked looking at her grandma who kept smiling.
"The first thing you need to ask yourself is this, can someone really tell on you to that tyrant after everything he did to you? Have asked yourself that question?" Grandma asked and Diana pouted her lips as she began slowly walking around.
"Well, no. I haven't. But then, people are funny grandma, they can do even the stupidest things because of greed and selfishness. You never know what a man or woman is up to"
"You talk like you already have someone whom you suspect. Am I correct?" Grandma asked, giving her a quizzical look and she spun around to look at her.
"Yes, you are. I think either Louisa Donovan or her father, told Alpha D'argan" Daina speculated and grandma creased her brows as she looked at her. She was awed at her accuracy.
She knew everything that had gone on, but she chose to pretend.
"Aren't those the same people who maltreated Bella?"
"Yes they are and they are the only once who have the perfect motive to rat us out. Achilles got engaged to Louisa, but he cancelled the engagement after the incident with Bella took place. Well, Louisa was clearly enranged, what if this was her way of getting revenge?" Diana asked shrugging.
"Diana, that girl's mother was killed by that same man and she was cursed because of the same man. That man terrifies every single member of this pack. Do you think anyone would want to go there to spread such news? Do you really think that?" Grandma asked and Diana bit her nails as she looked at her grandmother.
"I don't know, I really don't know. I'm just trying to figure out how it was possible that he knew, that's all"
"Achilles is so happy to have a powerful and intelligent witch like you rule by his side"
"So, are you trying to say my guess is right? Did Louisa rat us out?" Diana asked eagerly and grandma smiled.
"No" She said shaking her head. "Louisa did not" She lied and Diana's shoulder's sagged.
She lied because she knew exactly what her grandchildren would do to Louisa when they found that. Not that Louisa did not deserve the punishment, but because she wasn't worth all the time they would give her. Grandma wanted them to be focused on the war and on Bella, not on Louisa because even the fact that she has ratted them out would not stop them from getting their redemption.
"So, if she did not tell them, how did he know? I mean Alpha D'argan."
"Alpha D'argan knew because he has a wizard on his side" Grandma announced and Diana fell into complete shock.
"What?" She asked horrified.
"Yeah, he has a wizard!"
"But… but I thought only woman had to posses magic"
"I thought so too, but that's why there's dark magic. He practices dark magic and I do not want to tell you all about it, but it's nothing you should be concerned about, just focus on the…"
"Grandma I have to be… if he is on that tyrant's side it means I have to find a way to deal with him when the time comes. With him everything can go down the hill. What if he breaks the boundary spell and Alpha D'argan attacks. You know we are no match against that Alpha"
"Diana, you alone are more that an entire battalion. With just a wave of your hand, you can take down hundreds of soldiers. I have told you not to overthink this issue. Focus on Bella and make sure your brothers don't kill each other. That is your main goal" Grandma told her and she grudgingly nodded her head.
"I've heard you grandma, and I will do that. I will focus on protecting bella and my nephew and I will make sure Alex and Achilles don't kill eachother"
"That's my girl. You keep mentioning nephew, how do you know Bella is carrying a boy?" Grandma asked giving her a queer look and Diana made a guilty face as she chuckled.
"I might have done a few spells on her while she was asleep " she whispered, giggling and grandma shook her head.
"Then why haven't you told them?"
"I will, very soon " she said smiling and grandma nodded.
"Alright then. If you say so."
"I say so"
"Good. So like I have said, just focus on the family and I will let you know if anything big comes up. You are doing well Diana, keep it up"
"Thank you grandma and I will."
"I'm so proud of you all my babies, make sure to tell your brothers that. I cannot wait for the time when all of this will be over this Pack is back to it's feet. Everyone will know and everyone will respect this pack again"
"That is my ultimate wish, grandma."
"I have to take my leave now. You know what to do when you need me" She said as she turn around and within the twinkle of an eye, she was gone.
Diana look at the spot her grandma just dissapeared from and wondered where she often went to because she knew she did not go to the land of the death to meet their ancestors. Grandma's was rejected when she died because of the curse she placed on the pack. She will only be accepted once all of that was over.
"Grandma, I know how lonely you can be wherever it is you go. No children or grandchildren by your side. But not to worry, we will fight this battle and you will return to your ancestors. I promise you" Diana whispered with all confidence before turning around to exit her bedroom.
She was going to meet the guys who were still waiting for her to return with the news.
