CHAPTER 29 - THE TEMPORARY CURE

Diana was static because their plan was successful because Hades agreed with her condition but he gave her two weeks to do her task. She was back at the Sundown forest after Hades freed her from the chain. It was the same location where she was captured and she was brought back with the same black smoke. She didn’t bid goodbye to her parents as part of their plan and by now, her prisoned parents are aware of her escape with the help of Apollo.

"I'll leave you here and you can go on your own I'm counting on your plan my dear niece. See you in two weeks." Hades touched her face.

"Of course Hades." Diana smiled.

Hades dissolved in the think air together with the black smoke surrounding him. Diana started to feel uncomfortable again and the symptoms are kicking in again. With the vials on her hand, she drank the first one rapidly and minutes later she can feel the effects starting to drift off.

'Artemis, are you there? Do you feel any better?' Diana instantly checked her wolf.

'Diana yes -- finally that thing is gone.' Artemis got a relieved voice.

‘Let’s contact Marcel again.” Diana suggested and they got an answer right away.

After some minutes, Marcel communicated with her and their location is now closer to her. Marcel didn’t waste time telling her that he knows everything about Tyrone and what was her former mate has been doing when she was captured. Diana refused to get involve with Tyrone so she changed the discussion by saying she is now waiting impatiently. She felt relieved that finally she will be reunited with him and Minerva.

'Why would he help in finding us?' Artemis couldn't hide her emotions.

'I don't know maybe because he was being ordered by Axelia and Marco.' Diana has a nonchalant response.

'Yeah, maybe are you ready to meet him again?' Her wolf counteracts.

'Are you?’ Diana asked back.

'I know Owen is because he tried communicating with me. He told me he is against the rejection and seems more intelligent than his idiotic human side.' She puffed.

‘If it wasn't for my family, the trainings and the plan I wouldn't come back there.' Diana stated hurtfully.

‘I know right, we have so much to think and plan like how we can deceive Hades in killing the Keepers because with Tyrone I bet you it’s easy.’ Owen laughed and Diana joins in.

'Let's not waste our time with him and focus on our important task.' Diana told her.

“Diana!” Marcel immediately called her.

"Marcel!" Diana screamed so loud and saw her sweaty brother coming her way.

“Luna!” One of the pack members vowed.

"Come one let’s get you out of here.” Marcel put a protective arm around to get his sister’s attention off about the acknowledgement she got.

“What happened to you? You’ve gotten big; I meant your muscles are more prominent.” Diana observed it too well.

“I’ve been doing a lot of training but enough about me; you still owe me an explanation for a lot of things starting of with you wandering alone the clearing that reminds me why you are being captured.” Marcel is now starting his lectures.

“Give me a break bro, I just escaped and yet you’re lecturing my pour soul, how inconsiderate.” Diana sulked.

“Right, I’m sorry I was just worried sick. I missed you and Minerva too!" He finally pulled her on his chest.

"I'm glad you miss me bro." Diana hugged him tight.

“How did you manage to escape? Did you know where Hades took you in captive?” Her brother started his never ending questions.

“Relax, one question at a time, my head is exploding.” Diana touched her head.

“Are you okay? You are looking so pale." Her brother began attentive about her condition.

"Luna, we're glad you're safe, I'm sure Alpha Tyrone will be glad to know you're back." One of the warriors bowed.

Diana saw Marcel expression and she was shocked to see that his face showed no emotions it was neutral and calm.

'You have a lot of things to tell me Diana.' Her brother used a serious tone.

'I know bro but why is he calling me Luna?' Diana sends a mind-link to his brother in disbelief.

'When you were captured, Tyrone made a claim statement the same day about you being his mate.' Marcel updated her.

Diana just nodded as a respond while Marcel held her hand guiding out of the forest. Soon they already reached the pack house where Axelia and Marco are waiting by the doorway. It was the same time when Tyrone scent hit Diana while Artemis suddenly gets excited.

'Why do I sense you're happy?' Diana grilled her.

'I'm just excited to talk to Owen again but not to the human.' Artemis defended.

'Fine let's go. I'll block you for a while I need to talk to them about the plan and my trainings.' Diana ended their conversation.

"Diana!! I'm so glad you're finally here!” Marco and Axelia approached her.

“Warren, call the Pack Doctor now!" Axelia ordered the warrior earlier who acknowledged her as Luna.

"Axelia, Marco, I'll be fine no need for that in fact I'm feeling a little good there's so much I would like to tell you, can I talk to you guys privately?" Diana went straight to the point.

"Sure, follow us at the office we have so many things to discuss starting from your mate." Marco emphasized the last word.

"Marcel, I need you there and Minerva too I missed the little minx." Diana pointed at her brother who nods.

"Yeah she going to be euphoric knowing you're finally here." Marcel smiled widely.

"Okay come along now but Diana take a long bath first you smelled like rats." Axelia sniffed her and softly laugh.

Diana became conscious too since she didn’t have a comfortable shower and didn't have clothes to change with while she was in prison. It never reaches her mind to even clean herself because he time is important, if Axelia didn’t even bother to say that out loud she will forget about it.

"That's first in my list then." Diana smiled with embarrassment.

"Come on stinky." Marcel put an arm around her.

They reached the room without any more interruption this time Marcel gave her privacy to clea up and informed Charissa that her friend is back. After thirty minutes of proper shower, Diana was finally done and while in the middle of dressing up, her best friend barged in the room.

"Diana! Oh Moon Goddess!! I missed you!! I came here as soon as Marcel told me." Charissa hugged her so tight.

"Cha... I... can't... breath." Diana said in between.

"I'm so sorry bestie!! Are you hurt? Does the symptom get more intense? You've been gone for a week but I felt it's been forever. Everyone was so worried about you even… Tyrone." She keeps ranting and made a paused before mention the name.

"Will you slow down? You and Marcel are really matched with all these non-stop ranting. All you did was rant ever since I got back but I'm glad to see you again." Diana avoided the topic.

"Me too!! I have so many things to tell you and I'm sure you'll be glad to hear it especially about my bitchy sister." She waved her hand in the air.

Diana started getting comfy on the bed and pretended she is tuned to her friend’s story about her mate. Diana missed her voice and her gossip but this is one of the worst uninterested topics for her.

"Are you listening to me?" She crossed her arms.

“Hmm… not really I lost you on the part when you said your sister is sobbing.” Diana admitted.

"As I was saying, Alpha Tyrone broke up with her the same day you accepted his rejection." She tells with full excitement.

"Anything else happened while I'm gone?" Diana dismissed eagerly.

“Did you really just avoid my juicy information?” Charissa read her well.

"I did hear you but I'm not interested to know everything he is involved with." Diana combed her hair.

"I know he hurt you and he acted like jerk but he is still your mate and the only cure to your sickness is him. You might not know it but I know he regret everything he did Marcel even told me that Tyrone has been working non-stop just to find you." Charissa informed her.

"Cha, I'm not in the mood to talk about him or listen to his doing I'm moving on just fine and his regret is way overdue. Remind you he's my ex mate since last week and the pull were already weakening every day." Diana disclosed.

"Do you mean it? What if he pleads for forgiveness? Will you still take him back?" Charissa insisted.

Diana was about to answer that but then a knocked came into the door that made them both stopped.
