The Wolfless Princess

07 - Lighting Speed

Jealousy was burning through her heart like a raging volcano. She could not understand why it always has to be Diana and not her. Ever since she was a baby he has always been living in her shadow. As long as Diana was always around, no one glanced in her direction.

She turned to the mirror and said "I'm just as beautiful as she is so why do they always pick her and not me. I'm stronger, faster fiercer, and more socially friendly than she is yet she's always the one they go for."

One of her entourage walked up to her, held her shoulder, and said "You are more beautiful and a better she-wolf than she will ever get to be. It's just that she was born into the Alphas family so naturally, the Luna will appoint her because she's family".

Her statement made sense to Clarissa but she should have been the one who was born to an Alpha. Looking at her entourage, she asked "You think the Luna gave her the position just because she's the Alpha's sister?"

"Yes," they both answered.

She dejectedly walked out of the door only to notice Diana in the Chambers that she just decorated for Lord Ethan.

"What are you doing?" She asked furiously.

"Changing the curtains" Diana replied as she put the curtain into the curtain rod.

Clarissa rushed to her, snatched the rod off her hands forcefully, and slapped her across the face. "Who gave you the right to do that?!" She screamed pushing her to the ground. Before she could reach the ground, her head hit the wall leaving a straight line of blood on the wall.

"I put up the curtains and bedsheets myself so what gave you the right to touch it!"

Seeing the blood on the wall, she felt better but continued "See what you've done? No there's blood on the wall you i***t!"

Annie and the omega that was in the room rushed to Diana to see if she was okay. Diana raised an arm in front of her signaling them to stay away as she held her throbbing head with the other.

She stood up and all she could see was red. She wanted to make her pay, make her bleed, and savor the taste of her blood.

She opened her eyes and looked straight at Clarissa with fury in her eyes. Her eyes were not the original color but it was red rage like the exact color of fire.

"You have 5 seconds head start Clarissa. Run as fast as you can, feel free to turn into your wolf because when I find you, I will tear you to shreds. 5...4.... 3.... 2... 1"

Clarissa didn't intend to run but with one look at her eyes, you could tell there was something off and she probably was not joking. By count 3, she walked out of the room and started running in search of her brother Julius or at least, the luna.

Diana turned to Annie and said "The guests should be here in an hour or less, scrub off the blood, take the long painting in my bedroom and hang it on the wall. The scent won't be gone for a while so scent the room. Also, don't forget to change the curtains and sheets as planned".

Walking out of the room, she slowly made her way to Clarissa. She could smell her fear and hear her racing and anxious heart from where she was and it's gonna be so fun to make due to my promise.

In front of the packhouse, Amelia, Mary, and Julius were talking to see if all the arrangements were done when Clarissa ran to them breathing hard.

"What's wrong?" Her brother asked

"Uh.." Clarissa was about to tell them but chose not to, after all, it might be an empty threat. If it wasn't, at least she would be safe with them

"Nothing, I just finished what the Luna asked me to do"

"Good Clarissa, well done," Amelia replied when Clarissa's face turned wary.

She looked inside the hall and saw that Clarissa was staring at a furious-looking Diana. Amelia was about to say something when she realized that they were something off. As the thought crossed her mind, she noticed her eyes were glowing like it was lit ablaze.

Diana walked to them with a smirk on her face and said "you shouldn't have stopped Clarissa. I warned you"

Amelia and Mary, we're about to ask what was going on especially since they could smell the stench of blood coming from Diana. They did not get to because Diana moved to Clarissa's back, grabbed her by the arm and threw her into the open field, and joined her.

Her movements were so fast that No one saw it coming. All they saw was a flying Clarissa and an angry Diana who was now standing where Clarissa landed.

Amelia and Julius ran to her side but Mary couldn't get herself to move as she watched her daughter with wide eyes.

Diana crouched to the ground, pulling a half-conscious Clarissa, and said "Don't die yet, I'm yet to begin. This will be no fun if you die n.."

She was still talking when Julius sent her flying to the other side of the compound. As she hit the floor, she smiled and thought 'finally, some fun'. She rubbed her index finger on the blood on her head and sulked on it with pleasure. She ran straight to Julius who had just picked up his sister and kicked him on the butt making him fall to the ground with Clarissa in his arms. As she was about to touch him, Amelia pushed her away and came in front of her screaming "Stand back now!"

Diana wanted to obey as her eyes flickered trying to return to her normal color but her rage was greater than her sense of loyalty.

She was fighting the Luna's command and at the same time, trying to listen. She felt her head pulling itself in two different directions as she ran off to the bushes at lightning speed.

Her fast movements surprised everyone present as it was rumored that only Lycans could move so fast.
