AXELS POV

I stalked to where I knew he was held while trying to hold my enraged wolf at bay.

I walked with clenched fists and a raised nose - sniffing the blood in the dungeon as if it was his.

"Prince." The guards all stated respectfully while showing their necks - I was too far gone to even give a nod of acknowledgement.

And once I reached the cell where I knew he was being held I smirked, feeling my eyes change color and my canines elongate -  no longer holding my wolf back.

"Time to meet your maker Alpha Dustin Cadman." The words came out of my mouth almost mockingly and I watched as the pathetic Alphas eyes narrowed my way - with his hands hung over his head by silver chains.

I opened the cell and slammed it back shut behind me, hearing the sound of metal clashing into its place echo throughout the cold dungeon.

"I-I just...." my eyes narrowed as he tried to speak, clearly being the effect of not shifting into his skin for a while.

"Can I see her? Please." Those words made me double over with laughter - I couldn't believe his words! He had the audacity.

I sobered up and answered him with my fist - ramming it directly into his jaw and watching his head fly to the right.

He spat out before cracking his neck and turning his head back to look at me as if that punch absolutely did not affect him.

"Please." He begged again, and I gazed deeply into his sorrow-filled eyes, only to send him another punch but this time a lot harder and directed towards his mouth - in hopes of knocking his teeth in.

He did not groan. Or make any kind of sound of pain. He just spat out again but this time a crimson colored substance that fully awakened my wolf.

"I a-apologize for everything I did. But it was not under my control. I tried to fight against the pull of it. I tried to... Can I please just see her if she is awake. Please."

I gripped the ends of my hair before pulling at them and growling out loud while sending a punch to his gut and another to his jaw - this time he groaned loudly and I feasted on his pain.

"You can not see her. She is not awake. You tarnished her." Dustins face fell at that and I almost thought that news hurt him more than my punches - but do not worry Dustin, there is more to come.

"However, I will keep you alive enough to witness her birthing a child. Your child. The child that will be filled with your filthy blood." This time, it was my wolf speaking and he knew it. He hated my words. His wolf perked up and his eye color swiftly changed at the disrespect towards his pup.

"Watch your mouth. You may be a Royal but I will not allow you to speak of my pup that way. And that child is also your sisters." Dustin gritted out hoarsely while groaning at the pain that lingered from my punches. I smirked.

"I mean no disrespect to my niece or sister. I will love her. I hate that your blood will be mixed with ours in her. That is all." I stated while sending another punch to his gut and loving the way his body tensed up as if preparing for another one.

"And do not worry Dustin. Once you have seen that child, and my sister in her state. That is when I will kill you. That is when you will realize all that you could have had, had you been a good mate." And with that I lunged closer towards him before sending a repeated amount of punches - switching from his jaw, to his temple and to his gut.

ELIJAHS POV

When we had reached our land, it was already close to another sunrise. We were all tired and in shock, and we didn't even bother to greet our pack members as we entered the pack house.

I left Marina and Dina to tend to themselves before walking up to my room. There I would do what I have been aching to do since Dustin bit Celine.

I sat down on my bed before intertwining my fingers together and exhaling loudly.

I closed my eyes before thinking of the person who could kind me. Of the person that has helped me once before.

The Night Light

As I pushed myself farther into the golden light that appeared before my closed eyelids, I felt my body temperature become a lot warmer.

My body felt like it rammed against the wall once again before I was swiftly pulled into a tight space and fully in the presence of a huge golden globe of light.

"Night light?" I called out nervously, hoping that she was here for me to speak with her.

"Do you seek more answers child?" That familiar voice asked softly - she showed no signs of annoyance.

"I do. I came to ask about the Diamond Princess once again."

"What about the Princess?" She asked curiously, acting as though she was clueless to the girls fate.

"She was forcefully bitten by her Mate while possessed by Madness. However I believe her soul is intact."

"And?" She urged me to continue, I inhaled deeply before huffing out.

"She is pregnant. And in an almost stuck-state of being alive yet dead."

"I see. Well, my boy, you must understand that I told you as long as her soul is inta-"

"Yes, I know, as long as it is intact she will be okay. And if she was marked, she shall live. But that is the problem, she is unconscious!" I spat out angrily making the Night Light almost hiss at me.

"You watch your tone. I can send you back and strip you of your ability to converse with me." I gulped before nodding apologetically.

"Now, what you just said is true. But, she will awaken. She will still be in a trance, but she will be awake. Just not aware. That girl will give birth, but, there will be many complications. Afterwards, her life will be of her own making. Do you understand me?"

I processed her words carefully. Making sure to listen in on everything. I felt relieved hearing that she will awaken, but all that flew out of the window when she said everything else.

"I-I suppose I do. I just wish everything could go back to normal." The Night Light made a 'tsk' noise before her light burned brighter making my eyes squint.

"That girl and her fate is far from normal boy, have you not noticed?"

I had no time to answer before I was pulled directly back into the real world and onto my bed - my head spinning around with a billion different thoughts.
